I am ✨crying✨ over my fictional comfort character.

Spoiler warning for NightVale Episode 227

I am having severe flashbacks to when Strex Corp took over and it is terrifying. I was begging Cecil not to go even though I knew he couldn't hear me. And the moment I heard Dr.Lubelle. I was so upset.

This is how fiction is meant to be, it should always make you so invested that when something bad happens you care that it has. But besides that.

I sincerely hope that Lubelle comes face to face with something unexplainable. Something that breaks her rational brain into pieces and turns her into a catatonic wreck.

I want to see her suffer for what she has done to Cecil, to NightVale. And I sincerely hope she does and we all get to hear it. I want to feel that moment of excitement again of when during the Strex Corp arc, we here Kevin say, "And he is holding a cat." Because that would be so satisfying.

Listening to ep.227 rn and I just wanna say that if I don't post again it's because dr.lubelle explained me

[allegedlyxen]

after the death of the glow cloud i Need dr.lubelle to get stuck in the other desert. i think it would be a fitting end to her story

Hi relistening to wtnv 230 and uhhh

Dr.Lubelle

You have broken *so* many ethics-

And biased

Meaning all your science is scewed and in fact, not objective-

Also uh, does....does Carlos being part of Nightvale means he's now Cecil level unexplainable???

Uhhh-

thinking about DR.Lubelle again

[arthurtaylorlester]

i think with the events of the recent episode, it’s important to recognise that was dr.Lubelle is doing is not explaining things.

that’s not why sarah sultan died, because when joseph and kareem went to her to try and figure out a way back to the ‘’real’’ world, she shrugged their experiences off as delusions. she didn’t actually explain WHY there are doubles for everyone (probably reality-converging timeline shenanigans), she made them think they had gotten an answer, when we know for a FACT that joseph fink is not from night vale, we heard him get trapped.

And then she went off to try and find dana to dig up the grave of her (not?)double, so she could make up some half-baked explanation about it and gaslight literally everyone, including us the listeners, about the events that we literally heard go down.

She isn’t explaining shit because she doesn’t understand wHY night vale is like this, she just wants everything to fit her version of reality. so basically I’m saying dr lubelle killed sarah sultan in some other fucked up way

Thoughts on episode 230

This whole arc was... something. And I really wish that this ending had been a little better. A two part episode would probably have done more justice to it. 

However, I did really like a lot of it. I liked that we found out a bit more about Carlos, I was glad that we actually got to hear him first hand. And I really liked that Lubelle just got a cow dropped on her. That felt like a really good way for her to go. A huge kick in the face to her dying to the most cartoony shit. 

But there was also a lot that I feel was missed potential. Like, Cecil not reacting to the whole dow thing. And I still wish that Kevin had stabbed Lubelle to death. 

This whole arc was... a lot of what felt like missed marks. I wish that Lubelle had taken Cecil, and that was what spurred Carlos to take action. For him to take over the show and for us to see how deeply affected he was by it. Or for almost the entire town to fall because as it turns out, Cecil really was the only reason the town was as mystical as it was. 

I really love Nightvale, but this whole arc, it felt rushed and messy, and like it had no real message. And that sucks. But all and all, I enjoyed it, and it was fun. I just wish they had really made the plot of it together.

This is probably gonna be the most self indulgent fanfic I’ve ever written. 

Based on these posts  X, X  by @bulkhummus

This is meant to take place after episode 227 but before the next episode. 

Tw: Violence

 Cecil coughs and spits out a tooth that had been knocked loose from the punch he had just endured from Dr. Jones. It was the last in a series of them from Dr. Lubelle’s team. 

 “Had enough?” Dr. Jones taunts, smirking down at Cecil, convinced that they had won. They had been going about this for a good 15 minutes now, and Cecil had just heard Lubelle take over his show, the man should be begging for mercy about now.

 Cecil can't help the smirk that appears on his face, “Please, my weekly re-education is worse than this.” He taunts his captor and current torturer. It was true after all, this was nothing. It hurt sure, but he had been through worse.   

 Dr. Jones sneers, getting in Cecil’s face, “We will break you Cecil. It is only a matter of time.” 

 Cecil scoffs, “I’d like to see you try.” 

 Dr. Jones glares at him, pulling his head up by his hair, Cecil groans slightly at the feeling but he refuses to say anything. “Is that a challenge?” 

 Cecil doesn't respond, not like he has the time to. Almost immediately after being asked, Dr. Jones lands another punch on his face, this time with brass knuckles, causing a gash in the side of Cecil’s face. Cecil yells out in pain but he will not crack so easily. 

  It takes hours of various torture methods before the scientists start to lose hope. They'd tased him, beat him practically senseless, water-bored him, everything and besides being obviously hurt, Cecil didn't seem any closer to breaking than when they started.

 Dr. Jones stomps his foot, "Ugh! Why won't you just give up already?! Hell, how are you even still alive?"

 Cecil offers no response, squaring his jaw as he prepares himself for whatever is next. He wouldn't give in, he couldn't. He needed to hold firm on this. He would not betray his town or himself.

 Dr. Jones runs his hand through his hair as he paces, frustrated beyond belief. He was almost tempted to let Cecil go. What else was there to do? Cecil didn't care at all what they did to him. There had to be something that would make him tick. Everyone had a weakness of some kind.

 It was then that he was brought back to the night at the Moonlight All Night Diner, the one thing that got under Cecil's skin. He looks to another scientist. "you know, maybe it's time we bring Carlos into this."

 Cecil's head snaps up to look at them and he struggles against his binds. "NO!" He roars, his voice filled with panic.

 Dr. Jones chuckles darkly, there it was, the reaction they'd been dying to get from him, "Ah, so there is something that gets to you."

 Cecil gives Dr. Jones the dirtiest look he's given anyone in his whole life and if looks could kill, Dr. Jones would be dead, "You leave Carlos out of this."

 "And why should I? You are so... Unresponsive to everything else. So the only logical option, would be to bring in the one person that's gotten a reaction from you." Dr. Jones asks with a tone of arrogance.

 Tears fall from Cecil's eyes, and he fights against the restraints violently, injuring his wrists as he does. "Don't you dare! If you bring Carlos into this I'll- I'll-"

 "You'll what? Come on Cecil, threaten me, stoop down to my level, I’m sure Carlos will love that.” He taunts the man before him as he watches him squirm and struggle more desperately than he had the entire time they had been torturing him. 

 Cecil falls silent at that, he can't help but think of his husband and how disappointed he would be in him if he did stoop down to his level, but it was so hard not to. His resolve was cracking now at the idea of his sweet husband, the love of his life, sitting across from him being treated the same way he was being treated, he couldn't let that happen, he wouldn't. Not to mention, what would they do with their son? Who would watch him? No. No, he couldn't spiral like this right now. Finally, he swallows nervously, “I’m being held against my will. I’m sure Sherif Sam would love to arrest you for that and assault.” He says, grasping desperately at straws, he was pretty sure he had said the right things.   Dr. Jones can't help but laugh, “Oh Cecil. Cecil, Cecil, Cecil, even if someone did tell him, they would still have to find you and they would have to get past our security. Face it, you're trapped. And soon, your husband will be too. Unless of course, you start to see things, our way.” He says with a smug smirk on his face.  He looks at the doctor that stands in front of him, his third eye the only one that remains open. he was battered and bruised and honestly exhausted. But he could handle all of that, What he couldn't handle was the idea of his husband, an innocent bystander in all this, being forced to endure this torture. He hangs his head in defeat. He couldn't believe it had come down to this. Betraying his town, the place he loved so dearly, the people he had grown up with, his friendly desert community. He didn't want to do this, but what choice did he have? He loved his town, but he loved his husband more. “Fine.”  Dr. Jones claps his hands together, “Excellent, first things first, we need to figure out that extra eye of yours.”

i wasnt able to make a proper liveblog for the new ep because my fingers would've frozen off but have some thoughts (spoilers) under the cut!!

THE RETURN OF JUPITER MY QUEEN <33

her tapes are so nostalgic for some reason

mixing idioms>>>

lots of deep philosophical about truth. interesting

RADIO CECIL!!

so like the last bit where cecil's talks about jupiter's past alone is a foil for carlos right

cecil getting pranked lmaoo

cecil really went off on congress and the corruption of the stock market. good for him.

there is something so beautiful about being alone in space and being stuck in routine that makes you devoid of feeling, so much so that fear thrills you

''What a heavy burden the truth. What a light gift a fabulation. A lie is a thing with feathers.'' this interpretation of truth and lie is interesting, especially with dr.lubelle spreading the ''truth'' and possibly impersonating/helping to impersonate cecil and/or carlos

can i say i am terrified for carlos and of what carlos will do

''Taurus – Definitely not.'' WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

that was a nice last night vale for the year

happy holidays yall or not
