History Webcomic / TheWatcherOfYaathagggu

* {{Expy}}: The lead investigator and Mr. Happur look a lot like [[SherlockHolmes Holmes and Watson]].

* DealWithTheDevil: Seer and Charisma made this sort of deal with Nyarlathotep for power and world peace, with Seer giving up her eyes and Charisma his first born child. They thought they got the better end of the deal since Seer was infertile, but then Charisma had to go and impregnate his mistress, and all hell broke loose.

* InfantImmortality: Averted, twice. A child dies on-screen, and Lydia's baby dies in a flashback.

* YourCheatingHeart: If Charisma had kept it in his pants, the world would have been far better off.

* CthulhuMythos: A more indirect adaption than most, but it's there.

As of 2016, the comic has been taken off-line by its creator to be (hopefully, eventually) revamped and reposted.

!!''The Watcher Of Yaathagggu'' contains examples of:

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Pieta. See ViewerGenderConfusion. It doesn't help that it's only in chapter 2 that she's referred to using a gendered pronoun. Part of it's because the Watcher uniforms generally don't fit well, and later on [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=317 Oona's mother refers to her as "neither male nor female"]][[note]]which WordOfGod says was a deliberate jab and a reference to Oona's early comments that her family wouldn't be receptive to her wearing more masculine clothing[[/note]] Robin also clarifies that her design was deliberate:

* CatsAreMean: [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=127 and then some]]

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=131 treatment]] of Lydia and her baby are based on Victorian sensibilities around unwed mothers.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Used to show [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=362 the passage of time for Pieta]] [[spoiler:in Arkham]].

* LesYay: Pieta [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=18 expresses interest]] in [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=19 a beautiful woman]]. Pieta and Oona [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=120 also seem to have this going]], which later gets upgraded to text when [[spoiler:Oona proposes to her]].[[invoked]]

* NightmareSequence: Begins [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=70 here]].
* TheOphelia: [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=103 Lydia]], who's been institutionalized for schizophrenia.

The comic is currently on hiatus, though the author has said she plans to continue it.

Updates once a week on Mondays.

!!Contains examples of:

* {{Cult}}: Oona's family worships Shub-Niggurath, though she insists they're a reformed sect. They aren't above [[spoiler:murdering Oona and then framing Pieta for it after Pieta fails their test]].

* InfantImmortality: Averted ''hard'', twice. A child dies on-screen, and Lydia's baby dies in a flashback.

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Pieta. See ViewerGenderConfusion. It doesn't help that it's only in chapter 2 that she's referred to using a gendered pronoun. Part of it's because the Watcher uniforms generally don't fit well, and later on [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=317 Oona's mother refers to her as "neither male nor female"]]. Robin also clarifies that this was deliberate:

* TouchedByVorlons: Pieta was chosen by Nyarlathotep for an as-of-yet-unspecified purpose.

* CompositeCharacter: WordOfGod is that Nyarlathotep has some elements of Hastur, aka the Yellow King, mostly to make him visually distinctive.

* AfterTheEnd

* ButchLesbian: Pieta, all but confirmed later when she [[spoiler:accepts Oona's proposal]].

''[[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/ The Watcher Of Yaathagggu]]'' is an HPLovecraft-inspired webcomic by Robyn Seale. From the comic's description:

* {{Bifauxnen}}: Pieta. See ViewerGenderConfusion. It doesn't help that it's only in chapter 2 that she's referred to using a gendered pronoun.
** Probably unintentional. Robyn seemed kind of surprised by a comment regarding this, stating that the Watcher uniforms generally don't fit well.

* LesYay: Pieta [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=18 expresses interest]] in [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=19 a beautiful woman]]. Pieta and Oona [[http://www.noodlyappendage.com/watcher/?p=120 also seem to have this going]].
