mi2 Ethan has this grimy butch swag it’s important to me. He should get to wear cargo pants all the time

I will never be over the fact that Debbie Grayson is an average suburban mom who does realtor work but is also the one woman on the entire planet with the ability to walk into the most highly secure government building in the country just to bitch out their boss.

Kevin's description of Cecil, episodes 19 A and 19 B:

He is wearing a tie. He is not tall or short. Not thin or fat. He has eyes like mine and a nose like mine. And hair like mine. But I do not think he is me. Maybe it is the smile. Is that a smile? I can't say.

I don't know where I went, but I think that I met my double. The vortex is gone now, but as I was returning, I passed a man, a man who looked just like me. I smiled and said hello there, friend! I hugged this man, and he hugged me back. We shared a moment in this otherworld.

Cecil's description of Kevin, episodes 19 B and 19 A:

There is a photo, a single photo of a man on the desk here. He is wearing a tie. He is not tall or short. Not thin or fat. His hair and nose are like mine, but his eyes. His eyes are black as obsidian, and his smile. No. It is not a smile. He must be wicked, this man.

Along the way, in the vortex, I saw a grotesque man. A foul devil of a man. And he attacked me. I tried to choke him to death, but I remembered. I remembered what I told you. And I let him live. I let that woeful beast live.

Abby's description of Cecil, episode 246:

I know we have a father, and I know it’s the same man for you and me. Look at us. We have matching noses, with these thin bridges and the upturn at the tip. And we share dimples. Mom didn’t have those features. We look alike well beyond our mother.

CECIL MEMORY ISSUES STRIKE AGAIN OMGGGG

[elletromil]

Worry less about the person you once were, or the person you dream you someday will be. Worry about the person you are now. Or don't even worry. Just be that person. Be the best version of that person you can be. Be a better version than any of the other versions in any of the many parallel universes. Check regularly online to see the rankings.

• Cecil says he can't believe this is how he returns to Baron. Considering it was either going to be dead or in chains, yeah, same

• everybody in FFIV fandom just kinda . . . forgets that Yang can have all the same delicious mind control angst as Kain. It's understandable, though. Monk isn't as (unreasonably) charismatic a class as Dragoon (HOW ARE THEY SO COOL?), and Yang has his personal life sorted out, unlike Kain and his mountain of bullshit

• lmao Tellah uses the Devil's Road and immediately wants to take a nap

• all of Baron was told Cecil died but Dark Knight Cecil has one fan boy child, cutie pie still believes in his ominous hero figure coming back to set things . . . well I don't know how much you can reasonably expect a dark knight in FFIV universe to set things right, it's pretty vague

• i remember more people recognizing cecil but he's on the DL and i think that's after cagnazzo

• considering rosa's mum may be the closest thing to a mother cecil has ever had, if you use a bit of fanon, it's disappointing they don't interact more than to imply cecil stonewalls her about rosa's kidnapping. which, i mean, that forwards my agenda that cecil locks up about anything personal so hard he regularly shoots himself in the foot. picking over the tiniest characterization hints to flesh out this funky little paladin. stoic man. constipated little fellow

[ashersbraincell]

NOOOOOOOOOOO CECIL BBG

Hope he comes back last act

[weirdcursedvaultkid]

Well that took a turn!

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Starting a relisten of camp here and there from episode one. I will likely not finish said relisten, but I’ll get as far as I can!

Firefox propaganda on Welcome To Night Vale… no wonder Cecil won the sexyman poll

[szilverer]

you ever go ask for directions and end up thoroughly banished from the place instead? a story in 7 acts.

extras

they also had this very conveniently timed dream that was definitely not menacing (and strangely alluring?) at all. anyway

railway progression is so close i can almost taste it-- (remembers i need 16 more lab experiments) fug.

for the first time ever, hedonist is about to lose its spot as their highest quirk. considering they racked up a lot of heartless in the labyrinth (they did catch & release okay?) there's been some interesting lightning-fast character development into an arguably worse person ever since they joined the board. guess this is what being an investor does to you lmfao.

[ethanhuntfemmefatale]

there's this expression bill cage gets where he's silent and sparkly eyed observing everything happening around him very carefully. anyway that's part of why i should by all rights be allowed to tell him to sit and stay

[mandareeboo]

Cecil I shudder to think of what you would consider a fully-equipped babysitter. I'm thinking smart tech baby jail and full protection suits.

Welcome to Night Vale 19B

Yep, A was definitely a weird one, even for Night Vale. Let's see why this gets the B treatment.

The future is what you make of it. just know your supplies are limited. Up the quote tally, everyone.

FUCK DESERT BLUFFS. what fresh hell is this??

Stupid Kevin is not doing it. Yeah, you better pass buddy. I don't like all this happiness. I appreciate the choice in pets though.

Yeah, he is keeping the Stupid nickname.

This is some tonal whiplash, for sure. I don't like it TTnTT

you do not have a great team, Stupid Kevin. God I want to choke, this is disgustingly cutesy.

StrexCorp at least sounds more like something in Night Vale. A smiling god is giving something, but I'm not sure what yet. *pokes it with a stick*

This is Ba Sing Se level creepy. Stupid Kevin is like Ju Dee, yeah?

Okay, we hit the doppelganger, but definitely creepy the same thing.

Grandma Jospehine? Shit, does everyone have a Night Vale counterpart.

more ammo that Desert Bluffs is the bad guy: they prefer Twitter and Facebook.

This seems even creepier than how Cecil does the news. Maybe I got used to him and now this happy-go-lucky just weirds me out.

Oh yeah, this is some freaky Twilight Zone bullshit. Too much smiley and cozy feels. No thank you.

StrexCorp is the parent company? Yeah I am side-eyeing that thing. Now following you downstairs anywhere

Yeah, Stupid Kevin should go to Night Vale. They would eat him alive. Ohhhhh, Steve Carlsberg, what kind of radio do you have?

Again, the vibes are rancid here. I do NOT like this.

Yes, please leave Stupid Kevin. I want to see if Cecil comes in and wrecks shit.

Oh, Cecil, I'm so sorry. This is some kind of nightmare for you.

Okay, at least Kevin still saw an actual radio room. Now, I wonder what the fuck StrexCorp is filling in the vents.

Yep, Desert Bluffs is not a vacation spot like Night Vale.

Even the weather is still on point, creepy and weird.

Stupid Kevin, I think you need a detox of whatever StrexCorp is feeding you.

I am not happy you are alive. I don't like you Stupid Kevin.

This was definitely... something. How about one more to cleanse the palate of Kevin and Desert Bluffs.

[bitter-goodbyes]

Strexcorp bought the radio tower….

[elletromil]

Carlos and I, oh the magic of that phrase, oh the ecstasy, at all that a simple conjunction can imply, took a stroll through Mission Grove Parks.
