[beguilingcorpse]

look obviously we're all talking about waiting for the bus in the rain (in the rain) now that cecil won the sexyman poll. which is great and valid! it was a memorable early weather song! but i spent ten whole days in jerusalem. mmmmm jerusalem. sweet jerusalem. and all i ate was olives nothing but olives mountains of olives. it was a good ten days. i like olives! i like you too

Watching WTNV make a sudden resurgence on Tumblr has been wild and delightful but what’s really been striking me about the passage of time has been seeing the recent fanart.

Because unlike back in the day when the majority of Cecil fanart depicted him via...a narrow consensus, most of what I’m seeing of Cecil now barely even represents him as a person, anymore.

He’s the Night Vale 👁, now.

And if he is humanoid? Then his face is...hidden. Blurred or otherwise made indistinct. In the time that he’s been gone, Cecil is no longer a mere Tumblr Sexyman.

He is a Sexy Eldritch Horror, now.

Does anyone know which wtnv episode the quote "indecision is the present tense of regret" (roughly) is from?

[rainecats]

So mad it took me so long to realise Tex and Outlaw are absolutely together. Fellas is it gay to become so emotionally attached from a man that you free him from the scientific experiment lab you work for and rebel against the other versions of yourself for him and then run away to Texas and start a ranch together? Yeah probably

[honeybeebaaz]

Listening to wtnv one episode a night is such a spiritual experience!

[mississpissi]

fyi im pretty sure cecil has perfect pitch?? cute of him if true

[secretlyhuntokar]

I may have a uh. Problem.

[joskippy]

Nightvale thank you for making ghost stories live show a mandatory listen due to this ep so everyone can experience the agony I went through

[eyes-sheep-song]

my poor Khoshekh, my poor Cecil. Fuck Strexcorp i hate capitalism and bio-machine pets. IT WASN'T EVEN HIS BIRTHDAY

[sharpmouth]

sometimes i think about welcome to night vale and get psychic damage

[agnes-come-back-challenge]

I'm on a 100 Gecs appreciation run and i need people to look at some of these lyrics bc they are SO GOOD

"I wanna feel like beautiful starlight / I wanna cry like rain is coming down / I wanna feel like anything again" - starlight

"I was trying to find a way to kill time / I didn't even get to tell you goodbye / I was trying to find a way to kill time / Now you're gone and I can't / Ever say goodbye" - hand crushed by a mallet

"Giving my heart for you to take / We could go and drive / And leave this place" - XXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx

Like!!!! I know some ppl don't like how their music sounds but the actual songs are so good!!!!!

[eternally-tired-cryptid]

Y'all. Y'all. They told us there wouldn't be a nightvale mayor.

Episode 7, History Week "In the year 2052 ... Approval ratings for the mayor will hover in the low 40s, which will be surprising, as there will have been no mayor for over 30 years"

Aka since Dana stepped down in 2018 (EP 129, a Matter of Blood pt 3)

[wrenhavenriver]

waiting for the bus in the rain, in the rain

waiting for the bus in the rain

[felixcosm]

Episode 171 is my favorite episode, I listen to it all the time, but mostly when I am nervous or anxious or in a scary situation because something about the creepiness of the episode sort of evens out the scariness of everything around me.

But the problem is that it's given me insane echolalia.

Specifically "did she lean over your sobbing face and ask you, why are you crying when you don't even exist?" or "did you see the blood? or feel the pain first? is it tearing into your flesh is that why you're screaming?" or "how long is its torso? Is it some kind of snake, but with human skin?" or "But isn’t it strange that all about you on the floor are shards of the mirror you shattered, yet in front of you, the mirror remains, fully intact?"

And any other number of worrying statements like that
