*buries an old thought in The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking*

See.. at first I thought it had to do with Lovecraft's 'The Haunter of the Dark'...

Their creation > Cultists ('create' gods or summon them)

Something Missing > Windows/Light ..the Dark Steeple...
(was missing in the room Blake was in)

He Had Many Names > Nyarlathotep (the cults worshiped him)

The Dark Haunter is an avatar of a god with many names (Nyarlathotep)

Robert Blake was a character made after Robert Bloch.. he wrote and painted...

Lovecraft and Bloch created the trilogy of where The Haunter In The Dark was the second of the three stories...

So yeah... *pats the buried thought* It was good while it lasted...

yea i saw that..i didnt get anywhere tho...it would have went very well with this one

I'm ambidextrous. The nosferatu painting is really a self-portrait.

Yep, he's amazing :bugeye:




That's a self portrait? The ambiance is beautiful then o:)



Zarii... Greg, any headway on ideas?

Could he not be a he and perhaps a more abstract thing?

Greg mentioned Sleep... Evil...

Dark.. associates with night, a creation, probably the one with many names.. *Zarii bangs her head into the keyboard*
 
  • #1,507
*slips a pillow inbetween Zarii and the keyboard*

Hey! It still functions! We need all the brains intact if we're getting through this!
 
  • #1,508
Satan has many names.. but yeah that was just a thought
 
  • #1,509
but we are looking for something that HAD many names..
 
  • #1,510
Dark

Lacking or having very little light: a dark corner.
Lacking brightness: a dark day.


Perhaps light is something missing?...

*prepares another thought for The Graveyard...*

So that would mean that whatever he/it is.. its long passed on perhaps?

hey guys.. just a thought.. in the picture.. a piece of brick is missing.. a broken brick.. i googled broken brick and lovecraft.. didn't expect anything.. but then instead i got a link! http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~wcoburn/hpl/waste.html
Waste Paper by HP Lovecraft..
But still haven't got anything with it..

Funny enough the words like 'missing' are in the poem.. i hope this is somewhere close.. not another red herring

EDIT: "A broken brick that didn't show" Ironic eh?
