Watcher from an Outsiders perspective?

(1/3) > >>

groinkick:
Alright I think myself and others have tried to figure out Mac's identity because he was called a watcher.  However the term we have been searching for has been based on human lore.  What about from one of the Outsiders perspective?  From a creature from the Outside, what does "watcher" mean?  Could it mean the angels who seem to watch, but not interfere?  Someone like Rashid who watches the Outer Gates?  From the perspective of an Outsider, or more specifically a Walker, what do you think the term "watcher" means?

jonas:
Lol, add in the idea if N is on the other side of Mirrors, by keeping them about himself he's watching the other side all the time.

Perhaps (see last short story)?  Writing is a bit derivative (and's not Lovecraft himself), but nevertheless...

I think he COULD be TWG.  He's restricted in the use of his power, like the mothers.

Further, I think he WAS an Outsider.  The one who created our reality.  The others don't like it and are trying to destroy it.  That is why he knows about them.

Damn raisins, you said what I wouldn't(cause then people would argue me over it lol). TWC/TWG as the definer of reality is precisely what I see him as especially in light of the 'son of the chief physician' thing, and every other creator god mythos that could feasibly lead back to him. He's not restricted so much as he made a choice that defined reality, to stay out of mortal affairs, to allow freedom.
