If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can\u2019t humans be summoned by ants?
The answer is they should be.

\n\n

Well if a bunch of ants formed a circle in my house I\u2019d certainly notice, try to figure out where they\u2019d all come from, and possibly wreak destruction there.

That\u2019s why knowing and correctly pronouncing the true name is so important to the ritual. Imagine how impossible it would be to not go take a look if the circle of ants started chanting your name.

And they\u2019re like, you can\u2019t leave because we drew a line made of tiny crystals - now you have to do us a favor.

And you\u2019re like, let\u2019s just see where this goes\u00a0\u201cyup, you got me\u2026 what\u2019s the favor?\u201d

and usually the favor is like,\u00a0\u201ckill this one ant for us\u201d or\u00a0\u201cgive me a pile of sugar\u201d and you\u2019re like\u2026 okay? and you do, because why not, it isn\u2019t hard for you and boy is this going to be a fucking story to tell, these fucking ants chanting your name and wanting a spoonful of sugar or whatever.

And SOMEtimes you get asked for things you can\u2019t really do, one of them, she\u2019s like, \u201cI love this ant but she won\u2019t pay any attention to me, make me important to her\u201d and you\u2019re like\u2026 um? how? So you just kill every ant in the colony except the two of them, ta-da! problem solved! and the first ant is like *horrified whisper*\u00a0\u201cwhat have I done\u201d

This is the best explanation for higher powers I\u2019ve ever really heard.
