The reference to Vermillion Falls allowing children into the lake where they occasionally disappear and return with stories of a reverse world makes me think of two things. The first, which I’m sure many of you have also thought, is that perhaps The Boy climbed into the lake and emerged in Night Vale. The second is the idea that Vermillion Falls has a double/twin city too, in the way that Night Vale and Desert Bluffs are. (Edit bc shits crazy rn: I wonder if the lake is VFs dog park, a portal to a desert otherworld/desert bluffs two?) I wonder what we’ll see of Vermillion Falls going forwards.
So I did a thing, and drew the Smiling God. I might do art for all the gods of nightvale, but only if you guys want me to.
This design was 100% inspired by @saphizzle Corruption design for Tma, and looking over it now I think i probably made it too close, but I’m not redesigning it so here we are. And honestly, The Corruption works pretty well for Strexcorp as a whole.
I’m certain if you asked any Corruption avatar’s, they’d tell you their god was smiling too
Okay but I love how Cecil was treating the boy like a child throughout the episode. Idk just something about his fatherly instincts kicking in was so sweet
