What if Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, and others from Cthulhu mythos were in constant pain due to the size of the universe?

The idea just popped into my head. Cthulhu is said to be somewhere in the city of R'lyeh that is in the Pacific ocean. Shub-Niggurath lives in a lightless, cyclopean city somewhere in the underground caverns deep beneath the Earth. Azathoth is at the center of the universe.<br><br>Humans don't feel pain when they are on the Earth, because the Earth is a relatively small object. However, the Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, and all other Cthulhu demons are constantly in pain, because they are in places that are huge and constantly on the move due to Earth's rotation and orbit. They feel pain like what amputees with Phantom Limb Syndrome have.<br><br>All of this makes them extremely aggressive and unhappy so that Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, and others are extremely eager to rip all of the planets out of the universe and make them into a single massive planet. The universe is like a badly crippled animal that is screaming in agony and the only way Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Azathoth, and other Cthulhu demons see is to put the universe down to put it out of its misery..<br><br>And they're gambling with human lives. If they fail, then the universe is back to its crippled, badly suffering state of being.
