Starts off watching TV to scope out potential opposition and see how the world power structure has developed, which is totally not a thing you do when planning world domination. Winds up addicted to Parks & Recreation and House. Even ancient eldritch entities are not immune to the siren call of the idiot box.
Small wonder so many urban fantasy settings include a spirit/deity whose portfolio revolves around television. 🙂
Oh yes. My favorite is in the Shadowrun RPG (and assorted media items), when the millenia-old great dragon Dunkelzahn gets enamored with the contemporary media and starts his own trideo show. As one of the characters put it, “he became the equivalent of the airhead bimbo” and another remarked that he had his own plush doll.
So either Cailleach doesn’t know (much) about the modern world, in which case her very contemporarily stylish look may be a production of Snowfall’s mind, or she knows from Snowfall’s own knowledge and deems it insufficient.
This relationship looks like it starts out pleasantly. I wonder what might have soured it afterwards? (It can’t be that Cailleach has something of a temper regarding the wishes and behaviour of inferior life forms such as the humans surrounding Snowfall?)
And I’m guessing the last step left to take is to design a superhero costumed persona (which really isn’t that difficult a guess).
