>>112033423I agree that I don't see much of a Lovecraftness to it (I consider an even more fundamental aspect of his work to be that you CAN'T understand all of the shit going on out there and you can't do very much about it. Rapunzel and friends are constantly challenging destiny and the cosmic forces at work)
But there is a theme of family sins. Rapunzel's dad sets the Moonstone and Rapunzel (as the sundrop) on an accelerated collision course when he uprooted the flower, Eugene's entire family line focused on hiding the Moonstone rather than trying to find a possible solution (which carries over to Quirin's own secret keeping just pushing Varian to poke at things more), Gothel fucks up all kinds of shit. So on and so forth. The misdeeds and bad choices of the past generations falling on the present is pretty deeply rooted in the show
