Nyarlathotep in The Cellar Letters

I've lurked in the Cellar Letters discord for a bit and am so surprised and shocked that I haven't seen anyone make a connection that the entity behind the Cellar Letters could very well be Nyarlathotep.

First and foremost. Jamie has stated that the Cellar Letters is inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft

Due to the Cellar Letter's mention of Egypt, so many people have jumped the gun into thinking that the series is about Egyptian mythology despite having no other connection to it aside from Egypt, forgetting that Lovecraft has rooted some of his own mythos in Egypt, namely Nyarlathotep.

The Cellar Letters recalls a story of a class of students going on a trip to Egypt, there, the class finds a black, egg-shaped stone and sacrifice themselves.

This story is a parallel to the "Haunter of the Dark" which depicts taking a stone, called the Shining Trapezohedron, from the tomb of Nephren-Ka, to summon Nyarlathotep. Then, in order to gain knowledge from Nyarlathotep, he requires human sacrifices.

The Cellar Letters also holds some similarities with "The Dreams in the Witch-House" in which as man is living in an old house with a hidden room and he slowly goes mad as he has hallucinations and sleep walks. Throughout the story, he is being tricked and led by Nyarlathotep to sign his name in his book (like the book of the devil).

Most stories of Nyarlathotep portray his ability to make others crazy and lose awareness of themselves and the world around them until they fall into submission as a servant. The narrators of these short stories can be deemed as unreliable narrators, much like Nate can be. Nate lacks a lot of memory of events that occurred to him, he loses track of time, and the events that he experiences are different from how others hear it.

Jamie utilized The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales as research.

I also own this complete series and I think there are also influences from "The Thing on the Doorstep" in The Cellar Letters. First, I should mention that this story takes place in Maine like The Cellar Letters does.

Here is an excerpt from "The Thing on the Doorstep:"

"What he said was not to be believed, even in centuried and legend-haunted Arkham; but he threw out his dark lore with a sincerity and convincingness which made one fear for his sanity. He talked about terrible meetings in lonely places, of Cyclopean ruins in the heart of the Maine woods beneath which vast staircases lead down to abysses of nighted secrets, of complex angles that lead through invisible walls to other regions of time and space, and of hideous exchanges of personality that permitted explorations in remote and forbidden places, on other worlds, and in different space-time continua"

I don't think I need to emphasize the points of scary Maine woods and secrets at the bottom of staircases. While this story features references of Shub-niggarath and azathoth and not of Nyarlathotep, I still find it indicative of the Cellar Letters ties to Lovecraftian Mythos.

There is also another podcast featuring Nyarlathotep as the antagonist, and that is Malevolent by Harlan Guthrie. u/romychestnut posted on reddit asking if there was a connection between Malevolent and the Cellar Letters since Harlan joined the cast as a police officer named John (which is also the name of a character in Malevolent.)

BOTH creators replied to this reddit post. u/TheCellarLetters responded with "TEEHEE" while Harlan (u/thelirivalley) responded with this:

In Malevolent, it's version of Nyarlathotep, "Kayne" explained how there are many variations of himself across dimensions. Even though Kayne claimed to have killed every other version of himself, it does not mean that a version of him could not have existed in The Cellar Letters before he had hunted them down. (And wouldn't it be funny to have John in the Cellar Letters be Nyarlathotep after Kayne asked what great old one would name himself John?)

The start of Episode 79 of the Cellar Letters really hit the nail on the coffin for me. At the end of the previous episode, Nate is reading a letter and when he comes across a name, he blacks out. At the start of Episode 79, he wakes up in the back of John's car and the second he wakes up, he utters "-Tep" as if finishing the word that first caused him to black out the episode before.

I am still currently trying to find the part this next part, but I *think* that in one episode Nate says the word "Mi Go," which is a direct reference to a bug-like Lovecraftian creature that worships Nyarlathotep. This part is still uncertain as I have yet to find the episode that I heard this and I don't have transcripts I can quickly scan through so this is unproven.

I will surely be adding more evidence to this thread, I've just been sitting on these thoughts for way too long now

I've been slowly eeking out reblogs of Malevolent stuff

it's probably about time I actually post something about doodling them.

Personal HCs (In no particular order)

Noel being Filipino-Irish

Oscar retaining weight around his torso, as well as minute jaundicing in complexion and eyes

The Butcher having my dad's pattern of baldness TwT

Larson having vaguely similar features to Bob Odenkirk

Kayne (Nyarlethotep) keeping some features he used during his time as Nephren-Ka. The hair and eyes are 'new'.

Inspiration for Kayne's design chiefly sit in 'Normal Album era Will Wood' and 'Father from Codename: KND'

John's 'cloak' resembling parchment, both to harken back to his time bound in a book, but also as a sort of living journal on his travels and learning humanity

Arthur of course having the Clark Gable mustache UvU (how long that lasts: not long at all)

Part 1 of 2 Video

God, I love the theme song 'Scarborough Fair' but no matter how much I love listening to it, it leaves me teary-eyed every time

This is the third time I have already watch this scene and it gets me every single time because watching Willem waking up just to see the girl he loves, who he just proposed to, charging into battle by herself and he can't do anything to stop it breaks my heart 💔 but what got the tears rolling was Chtholly and Willem's dialogue about the other person 😭

Hello, friends here it's Hsi back with more world-quest sketches...

As I just completed almost a half-month graduation exhibition, I'm a little tired and may take a hiatus but I'll continue to update more character designs which I'm interested in later! Thanks for all the preference and encouragement🫶🏿
