“And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished, for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare." Such is the power of the entity known as Nyarlathotep. Interestingly enough, father of modern horror, H.P. Lovecraft first saw the entity that he later named as Nyarlathotep in his nightmares since the age of 10 and cited it as inspiration behind the now infamous entity in Lovecraftian fiction that serves as the main antagonist for the mythos. H. P. Lovecraft developed the mythical character Nyarlathotep. In the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared universe, the figure is a malevolent deity. He first appeared in Lovecraft's prose poem "Nyarlathotep" in 1920, and he was afterwards mentioned in Lovecrafts’and other writers' works. He also featured in the 1936 short story The Haunter of the Dark, and he returned in the 1943 fantasy novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath as the major antagonist. He has appeared in many H.P. Lovecraft stories than any other deity, and he is clearly the cruellest and vilest being in the entire mythology.

The others have greater matters than dealing with tiny people like us, they may outside of Nyarlethotep the only one that gives humans any amount of real attention is Cuthulu and that’s mostly for the worship. Nyarl is the equivalent of someone who tortured bugs for fun. He wants nothing to do with anything other than to make them suffer

It's possible that Nyarlathotep was the one that put him to sleep in the first place and he and his brothers are the only beings that can survive Azathoth's awakening because they are direct offsprings of the Blind Idiot God and not part of his dream, this supported by the fact that Nyarlathotep was able to physically touch Azathoth despite that he is suppose to be a dream

It's all theory. He is a 100 year old character from a series of story's that's been told and changed by others ideas; especially the story's after Lovecrafts death. Writers tried to "understand" all the beings and add more to the beings. I need to reread the old story's as I dont remember Azatoth is asleep or is dreaming the world in Lovecrafts work. I think that came after his death in others works. You can see him as Azathoths dream avatar and is lucid dreaming himself awake. Or just another being we cant understand. Up to the writer to use him as they see fit and Lovecraft loved to share his universe with others. Most of his character comes from the Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath but that story wasnt meant to be read by anyone. That story was only discovered after Lovecrafts death and he never told anyone about it.

Being in a universe filled with uncaring cosmic and beyond cosmic entities that will never recognize your existence ever fills you with an unbearably heavy dread. But the moment that one of those beings take notice of you and takes cruel interest in your world, you are slapped back to your reality and feel another form of dread and fear well up within you. The dread at your insignificance is not enough, you will feel the primal fear out of preserving your existence, but you can't, because that's an OUTER GOD looking at you. Lovecraft makes you realize that everywhere you go, there is nothing but fear and pain, be it on a cosmic scale out of insignificance, or an immediate threat towards an unstoppable and consciously cruel cosmic force coming for you.

Some fan made theories suggest he is the creation of another infinitely horrific entity though it isn't lovercraft's personal work. He is kept asleep and dreaming through the muffled beating of maddening drums and the pitched accursed whine of demonic flutes. Some speculate he is an amorphous nuclear blight of nethermost confusion outside the universe and yet at its very chaotic heart. When, not if the far demon sultan awakens, it would spell doom for the entire multiverse in an even so horrifically potent none would even notice or feel a thing which is what makes him the most revered and feared among the outer gods.

Some have speculated that Lovecraft may have actually been speaking of Nikola Tesla when he referenced Nyarlathotep. And there may be some truth to this. But the dream he had was so utterly bizarre. And reflecting on this more, it is actually a remarkably accurate description of the effects of social media combined with too much cellular technology in our current age.
@dalelerette206
@dalelerette206 3 місяці тому
Lovecraft actually studied his dreams, too. They were so macabre. And he often incorporated elements of his dreams into his stories. One dream that he had was of a being known collectively as the Crawling Chaos. In a 1921 letter to Reinhardt Kleiner, Lovecraft related the dream he had had -- described as "the most realistic and horrible nightmare I have experienced since the age of ten” -- that served as the basis for his prose poem "Nyarlathotep". Nyarlathotep . . . the crawling chaos . . . I am the last . . . I will tell the audient void. . . . I had to do a bit of research for this one because I did not know the meaning of “audient”. I thought it was related to sound or something to do with an audience. I was actually quite surprised to find that according to Merrium-Webster it was a hearer in the early Christian Church -- one permitted to attend services in the narthex but dismissed after the sermon: a catechumen in the early stages of instruction for admission to the church but not yet an applicant for baptism. According to Wikipedia, the being’s first appearance was in 1920 where he was described as a "tall, swarthy man" who resembles an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. In this story he wanders the Earth, seemingly gathering legions of followers through his demonstrations of strange and seemingly magical instruments. The narrator of the story is among the followers as they lose awareness of the world around them. And through the narrator's increasingly unreliable accounts, the reader gets an impression of the world's collapse. As I reflected on this poem it actually did seem to me to be somewhat prophetic to a certain degree. If one looked around at society it was easy to see that the general populace been gradually increasing its ability in expressing its aggressiveness since the Internet has been made fully public. I was reminded of Tim Berners-Lee's words on his creation For the man who set all this in motion, the mushroom cloud was unfolding before his very eyes. “I was devastated,” Berners-Lee told me that morning in Washington, blocks from the White House. For a brief moment, as he recalled his reaction to the Web’s recent abuses, Berners-Lee quieted; he was virtually sorrowful. “Actually, physically-my mind and body were in a different state.” Then he went on to recount, at a staccato pace, and in elliptical passages, the pain in watching his creation so distorted. There had always been loud people in Hollywood and on the Radio and in other sources of media. But prior to the Internet being made public people were generally more reserved in their expression. Now it seemed as if being loud and angry was the norm. And various groups had become more polarized in their tactics, almost to the point that no one was really listening to each other. Even conversations within the general public appeared to have gone sour is this direction. Some on-line forums were simply atrocious in what they allowed people to say to each other. No class at all. And some of them had become so jaded that they were simply refusing to talk -- insisting that there must be a fight. At least this is the impression I was getting when I watched the various news outlets. I did not accept that. I thought people could be reasonable and talk with each other. “A good teacher is like a candle-it consumes itself to light the way for others.” -Anonymous As a child I would often stay up and watch Jonny Carson. I used to stay up late at night to watch this show, especially around the late 70's and early 80's. SNL was another one I would stay up and watch. I loved watching Late Night TV. The good clean adult humor was illuminating. I was only around eight about the time of this show. But I was way too precocious for my own good! Burning the midnight-oil led to some of very strange lucubration.

Great video, Ive got a Nyarlathotep theory regarding ASOIAF. Followers of R'hllor believe that there are only two gods, the Lord of Light and the Great Other, who wage an eternal war over the fate of the world. Darkness, cold, and death are believed to be servants to the Great Other. He is the creeping chaos, the three eyed invader of dreams and a subtle manipulator. Martin has used a ton of hp lovecraft references throughout and this falls right in line with that. R’hllor and Nyarlathotep are playing a game of chess/cyvasse/a game of thrones. Planetos is the board and the characters are the pieces.

Nyarlethotep means “Nyarlet is pleased” in Egyptian. It means the there is a Nyarlet in the mythos that is never mentioned. Lovecraft used a lot of Egyptian or Egyptian-sounding names in his writing, because the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb was recent when he was writing. The expansion of the knowledge of Egyptian history both terrified and fascinated him, because it went against his feeling of Eurocentric superiority.

I've been obsessed with hpl since I was far too young to understand just how great he was. My mother read me his stories before I could read. I am in my 30s now and I'm working hard on my own series of hpl universe set stories. I'm re imagining certain things and writing new stories. It begins with a new version of Herbert west who crosses paths with an original character and nyarlathotep is heavily featured in this. In my version nyarlathotep was ALL the pharaohs and brought felines to the earth from the dream world. The were his most powerful agents but cut off from their powers after rebelling and sending nyarlathotep away banishing him from the waking world. The cats in arkham though talk and have fragments of their power returned from proximity to the dream lands and ulthar which was transferred to the dream realm from ancient Egypt by nyarlathotep as his final act to remove the power from the traitorous felines who sided with humanity due to a slave child who showed a desperately injured feline kindness and was rewarded by being made the first human Pharoah. Lots more I shouldn't even have said this much yet but I can't wait to write Allen's story, west's cat who gains his ability to speak when west gets booted from Oxford and transfers from UK to arkham. I plan to write many books and hopefully graphic novels and potentially film. But we shall see

He's part of the Entity archetype/theme as the monster "Outer Entity Nyarla". The card easily has the most unsettling artwork in the game. There's a few other Lovecraftian deities with cards in this archetype. Azathoth's, perhaps befitting the most powerful being in the Cthulhu Mythos, is on Yugioh's banlist.

The more I get into the Cthulhu methos, the more it frustrates me. Everything is either direct contradictions or “beyond human comprehension” - which kind of takes the fun out of it. “Azathoth is asleep and completely unaware” vs “Nyarlathotep does Azathoths bidding… even though he’s asleep and completely unaware of out insignificant existence” to “Nyarlathotep is completely loyal to Azathoth” vs “he hates Azathoth” etc.
@duskdweeb1368
@duskdweeb1368 Рік тому
An easy explanation is that Nyarlathotep is the only entity in the mythos who can fully understand Azathoth and despises the fact that he is merely part of Azathoth's dream, but he can't do anything about it so he ravages the other parts of his father's dream. The whole Nyarlathotep being Azathoth and the Outer Gods' messenger is merely just a misinterpretation by lesser beings who have encountered Nyarlathotep like the Mi-Go.

I will always subscribe to the idea, "If it BLEEDS we can kill it...", instilled in me by Dutch from Predator aka Arnold Schwarzenegger. Anything else I'd just run while leaving a trapped and scorched path in my wake. Hopefully if I piss whatever is unkillable off enough my death will be so instantaneous that I won't even feel it. Unless said entity is a reality warper and then it could just bring me back and kill me for infinity, but I bet that would eventually bore the thing and I would finally be able to die for good.

@JanusHoW
@JanusHoW Рік тому
IMHO, Nyarlathotep is not a "necessary" Outer God in the greater context of the Cthulhu Mythos, in spite of the sheer amount of activity among mortals...or perhaps because of it. Three of the most important Outer Gods, for me, are the forces that shape creation - Azathoth is the primordial chaos, dreaming all else into existence; Yog-Sothoth gives form and shape to the formless and shapeless matter Azathoth dreams up; and Shub-Niggurath breathes life into things and gives them the ability to reproduce. They are all beyond good and evil - They are cosmic forces in and of themselves, for all the good and evil they bring. If Shub-Niggurath were to somehow disappear, no new life could be born and the cosmos would eventually become a sterile waste devoid of beauty. Likewise, if Yog-Sothoth were to somehow be destroyed, all things would lose the ability to have any sort of shape, even a constantly shifting one. But Nyarlathotep has no such grand, all-encompassing role. The Crawling Chaos, to me, is nothing more than the accumulated minds and souls of the countless lesser Outer Gods that serve only keep Azathoth asleep with the endless dancing, drumming and fluting. But if Nyarlathotep were to be shattered and the component minds forced back into the bodies of those lesser Outer Gods, nothing of value would be lost. Indeed, that would be the greatest punishment for the Crawling Chaos.

You have written such a massive paragraph just to turn out everything wrong lol. I really don't think you have read the mythos. Because azathoth truly never created reality in the first place. It's head canon created by the fans August Derleth.

@@ziadhulhok Lovecraft specifically WANTED people to expand on the Mythos, to make his work seem more legitimate.
