#huntokar take notes!!!

[princess-of-purple-prose]

[ID: Night Vale fanart of a large hand handling a small Cecil who's about a few inches tall. He's a brown man with long light purple hair, funky glasses, and cat ear headphones. Three different methods of picking him up are shown:

The hand pulls him up by the cat ears of his heaphones. This is marked with an X and captioned "This is RUDE. That is his headphone". Floating purple eyes frown at the hand.

The hand picks him up by the head. This is marked with an X and captioned "he will get brain damage." The floating eyes look surprised.

The hand offers itself out, and Cecil smiles and walks towards it. This is marked with a check mark and captioned "hold your hand out let him climb on when he is ready." The eyes look happy. End ID]

WTNV Fursonas

have you ever wondered what animal your favorite Night Vale character is? wonder no more!

a few notes: most of these will be region accurate, because the hometown vibe is a big part of the podcast. and for the purposes of keeping species fitting, I'm ignoring doubles.

Cecil is a black-tailed jackrabbit. vigilant and quick-thinking, this guy the inspiration for the jackalope, which fits the cryptid qualities of the radio host. the jackalope has antlers, which represents the ties to Huntokar.

Carlos is a North American river otter. credit to @fox-guardian for this idea, I had to go with it. clever and resourceful, this animal might seem out of place in the desert environment. fun fact though, river otters were actually reintroduced to the Verde river and now have a stable population in Arizona!

Steve is a black-tailed prairie dog. family oriented and highly dedicated to their community, this animal has been widely considered a pest in the past, but is now considered a keystone species of the southwest.

Lauren is a coyote. both extremely adaptable and efficient in finding a niche, coyotes are scavengers who are willing to do what it takes to survive in a cutthroat world.

Dana is a cliff chipmunk. they might look unassuming, but this animal is extremely agile and resourceful. they can also live for up to twelve years, and do so in very precarious situations.

Kareem is a beaver. a native of Michigan! (please pretend I'm pronouncing it as mitch-i-gan) they're hardworking and determined, able to create big things when they put their minds to it.

Kevin is a long-tailed weasel. they might look cute, but they're vicious predators who, and I quote, "have no conscious when they're hungry". they regularly threaten animals far bigger than themselves and their hunting methods are brutally efficient.

feel free to add on!

Huntokar, the Destroyer (Pathfinder Deity)

An obscure and peculiar deity, Huntokar is known only through her holy text, a thin volume that bears her name and, supposedly, was originally a recording of her own words. Notably, there is no one official version of the text, and ruminations, anecdotes, embellishments, and folk wisdom added by her followers have accumulated over time such that each copy is likely unique. The only portion of the text that remains untouched and consistent is what is known as “The Confession of Huntokar”, which is held to be the actual words of the goddess.

The Confession also stands out among deific texts. Rather than being a collection of teachings, praise for her glory, or a recounting of her accolades, the Confession is a somber account of Huntokar’s failure to protect her original followers, the mistakes she made in her ignorance and hubris, and the catastrophic consequences of her actions. As such, her modern followers do not treat the text as commands to follow, but instead a lesson to be learned — though several of Huntokar’s remarks in the course of telling the story are treated as commandments of a sort, such as “Intentions never matter” or “No action is without consequence.”

Due to the communal and varied nature of the text of Huntokar, the teachings and practices of her cults differ. However, a few common themes are generally shared among her followers.

Actions should be judged by outcomes.

Perfection does not exist. The continual improvement of ourselves, our community, and our environment are more important than seeking perfection.

Face reality and accept the truth, no matter how painful either of those things may be.

Our bonds with one another are the foundation of our existence. Value those bonds that give you strength.

A life that merely continues is worth nothing. For a life to have value it must be one worth living.

 Descriptions of Huntokar are nearly as varied as the lessons of her faith, but a few things stay consistent. She is always shown as a woman in robes, though some depictions have her robes worn and tattered, some have them simple yet finely made, and others show them made in a primitive manner using hides and furs, or even formed from natural elements like vines. In some depictions, she has the head of a deer. In others, a wolf's head with the horns of a stag. At times, either version is depicted as a mask, either of bone or hide.

A few of Huntokar’s most faithful claim that the goddess creates elaborate charts and diagrams in the sky, which clearly show her guidance, and explain the secrets of the world. Most, though, suggest those followers are just seeing something more mundane, like weird birds. This more common position holds that Huntokar only rarely communicates with her people, and that it is more important to take her story to heart and live one’s life according to her lessons. However, there are the occasional tales of strange, faceless messengers arriving with cryptic notes, or portents seen in the actions of vermin.

I wrote this up a while ago when I was bored and almost forgot about it, then stumbled upon it again and figured I'd share it.

Alright

*clears throat*

Cecil presumably existed, along with the radio station, before Night Vale did. Though Cecil ages from adolescence to adulthood, episode 67 suggests he exists somewhat beyond time, or at least, lives much longer than humans normally do. He frequently states that he doesn't know how old he is.

When Cecil was five years old, the prophecies were revealed saying that he would become the voice of Night Vale. That was when he first got his Little Reporter's Book of Big Boy Note Taking, a book he makes notes in always, even when he's not aware of it, and even when he's not holding a pen.

Cecil's mother was implied to be neglectful towards him, and his father is implied to have left or died when Cecil was young. When Abby and Cecil were young, she would take them out to Redwood Remains State Park to leave flowers at tree, walking fast in order to lose Abby and Cecil in the forest. When going to this forest, Cecil was told to go into a tree by either Cal or his father, likely his father. This may have been the tree Cecil's mother left flowers at. He and Abby used to be babysat by Jerrod Bansky's mom.

He sings the Night Vale High fight song in episode 33, and he says he played Pippin in his high school's avant-garde production of the musical "South Pacific." He was a member of the Night Vale Boy Scouts, earning an Advanced Siege-Breaking Tactics badge at the age of 12 and a Subversive Radio Host badge at an unspecified age.

When Cecil was 14, his mother abandoned Cecil, leading to Abby having to drop out of college to look after Cecil, leading to resentment between the two of them.

Cecil was interested in radio hosting early on. At age 15, he started recording himself on cassette tapes, enthusiastically imitating previous NVCR host Leonard Burton. While recording these cassette tapes, he began to see a mysterious flickering out of the corner of his eye which increased in frequency when he spoke or sang. Eventually, Cecil did land an internship at NVCR, before both Night Vale and radio came to be, and got to work with his idol, Leonard. But the mysterious flickering got stronger and Cecil either blacked out or died, after seeing the Dark Planet. In "Filings", it is revealed that flickering was Cecil from 2017 and when teenage Cecil sees adult Cecil in a mirror in the station bathroom, teenage Cecil passes out or dies, and disappears from the future. The flickering, or the thing that called teenage Cecil to pass out or die could potentially be the creature from episode 171, as it is implied that this is what his mother told him would kill him.

Cecil claims to have traveled to Europe after college. Cecil specifically mentions the countries of Svitz, Franchia, and Luftnarp, and seems completely unaware that they don't actually exist anywhere in Europe in real life. Cecil also claims to have met Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) during this trip and witnessed him inventing the radio. [citation needed] It is clear that NVCR predates radio itself, although it is unclear how the show was disseminated before radio. It is also unclear how Cecil had cassette tapes at age 15 when they weren't invented until 1962.

Otherwise, Cecil has never mentioned leaving Night Vale and seems unaware of conditions outside of it. Despite living in America, he has never heard of Michigan, Alabama, Oregon, or Ohio.

Cecil became host of the NVCR during World War 2, and his first broadcast as host concerned the war effort. In 1983, Night Vale would have been destroyed, but Huntokar prevented it, splitting Night Vale into multiple Night Vales.

Some time when Cecil was an adult, his mother came back. Cecil felt flat and sad about this. Cecil and Abby tried to patch up their relationship, and a few months later, their mother died. Sometime, Abby married Steve, in Cecil's eyes robbing Cecil of the opportunity to care for Janice, Abby's daughter and Cecil's niece.

"Who tf is Cecil"

You come here. Disrespect our history.

[benkinsky]

Y’all really say “Avatar of the Eye Cecil Palmer” just cause WTNV has a giant eye on the logo, huh?

Y’all really look at Cecil “unrealiable narrator” Palmer, take a look at Cecil “loose threads that he connects and interprets how he wants” Nightvale Parmer and look straight past the Spiral?

Cecil doesn’t know SHIT. Carlos, yeah, maybe Carlos has some Eye potential, and the way Carlos loves Cecil because - among others - there’s so much unexplained stuff to explore there just fits.

Cecil becoming the Radio Host is him becoming an Avatar of The Spiral. He even has the whole dying part. Just cause Jon has Tape Recorders and Cecil has his radio equipment doesn’t mean they’re both Eye.

Look at Dr. David’s gaslighting and at Jon’s Knowing, and tell me Cecil is closer to the second than the first. lol.

Look at Cecil reinstating what the City Council sais about what exists and doesn’t exist. Clouds, mountains, the world around them, etc.

Nightvale is a mad and unreal place. It could very reasonable have Sannikov Land as a sister place and it wouldn’t be out of place.

There’s DOORS that are CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER that don’t MAKE ANY SENSE there for god’s sake. Nightvale is a Spiral Domain. (note: not everything in Nightvale is necessarily Spiral, there’s definitely Hunters and the tiny people might be slaughter effected as is the Distant Prince, etc) but Huntokar aligned with the Spiral to save Nightvale from The Extinction.

TL;DR:

Cecil Palmer isn’t an Eye avatar you fools, he’s Spiral. And all of you calling him Eye Avatar just cause he also has a Microphone are falling for it.

[pithyorangecurd]

Okay. So, I think to the mystery of Cecils lineage, an important fact about him is that Cecil very regularly Forgets things, and as much as he is an unreliable narrator, he usually gives us the actual answer. The point of him, is that the answer is so very obviously not it that we try to avoid it. But!

Our unreliable narrator is almost always right, although it's hard to know that until it's revealed like a hundred episodes later. Looks at Joseph.

Soo.

On the subject of Huntokar is Cecil's mommy, the leading evidence would be that Cecils mother is an oracle

To note, an oracle can tell you the future, but an oracle can ONLY tell you that because an oracle is truthfully a voice for the gods, a messenger. Someone who would religiously go to a place of contemplation and solitude.

Somewhere where they could be closer to their god, to receive their message

So, she's an oracle. This could be anything! Except, if we look to what little we know about cecils mommy, she tells him a bedtime story.

A story about a boy who died, a boy who sought knowledge, who spoke to the angels, and listened to what they had to say. Who buried himself, who found what he wanted. Became a tree. Became knowledge. It's very in line for an oracle's child. An oracle, who mourned her son, who became an incarnation of knowledge and holy light meeting, who brought her charge to this place every year, who in her mourning, could do her duty.

Her charge, who is no longer a boy, but a tree. Whose sister mourns, though he doesn't understand why, and who provides fruit and nourishment for the town. Who takes care of him when their parents are no longer there for him.

Laid out bare, I would say Cecil used to be the name of a mother's son, who had a steady dedication to her god. And, in the pursuit of it, she exposed a son who loved nothing more than knowledge to the knowledge that there was something else out there that nobody could ever know. And his mother is the only one with their message! How could he resist it!

And how could Huntokar, who loved her people so much deny the call of a child. And when holiness gave the child the gift it wanted, and took him from her oracle, she kindly gave her something else. A child named Cecil, who had a face that wasn't his, who could not look into a mirror, because a mirror is a door to another world, and he is so fit to worlds that they with ease would consume him.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[mallowbees]

An Analysis of Cecil's Relationship With Time

Note: here it is, in all its overanalyzed glory

We can safely assume Cecil is somewhere in his late 30s in the series as of episode 168, which takes place in 2020. So how did Intern!Cecil see the Night Vale founders in 1745, or meet the inventor of the radio in 1896, or start his broadcasts in World War 2? What of Cal, his brother, who Current!Cecil doesn’t know and Intern!Cecil loved despite the possibility of Cal not accepting his sexuality? What of Earl Harlan and his seemingly misplaced heartbreak?

Well, there is no simple answer. The best I can come up with is this: Intern!Cecil was a time-traveler, and while that ability was lost to the Mirror Incident, it re-manifested as Current!Cecil aging significantly slower than the rest of Night Vale.

As for Cal, he disappeared with Intern!Cecil. Intern!Cecil, along with any significant/meaningful/emotional interactions involving him, disappeared when 2017!Cecil appeared in the station bathroom mirror at some point in the 1930s (which I deduced from the fact that Cecil was an intern for a while before becoming the Voice, and his internship ended in WWII). This is why the only accounts of Cecil from that time are from the cassettes, Leonard, Josie, and Earl. We don’t have any information from Abby, so hearing from her could disprove this entire theory.

Back to the cassettes, Leonard, Josie and Earl for the time being. What do they all have in common?

Some iteration of them was destroyed. Leonard and Josie died, Current!Cecil got rid of the cassettes, and Earl’s 20s and a good portion of his 30s - at which point we could argue that Earl and Cecil were dating - were completely skipped over. Cecil would have been in his 20s around the beginning of WWII, so Earl was 19 for around 70 years. Yikes.

As for how Intern!Cecil obtained the cassettes in the 30s when they weren’t invented until ‘62, his mother was likely a time traveler as well.

She was probably aware of it, which led to her deterioration and disappearance, as we all know time can do strange things to the mind, especially in Night Vale. Just look at Earl.

Intern!Cecil, however, may not have been as aware of his ability, so when 2017!Cecil accidentally time-traveled into the mirror, someone with enough power to change time, and who could write the prophecy that dictated that Cecil would become the Voice after Leonard, had to step in and erase that from 2017!Cecil’s memories - and consequently Current!Cecil’s memories - so he still had most of the stability to continue as the Voice.

Someone who would only use that power in bits and pieces at a time.

Someone like…Huntokar. That’s how she was able to tell her story: she has a connection to Cecil.

-

K: aAAA oh my god I love all of this, it’s so interesting!! Thank you for submitting your three hours you put into looking into stuff :0

[kevin--of-desert-bluffs]

I don't know if it's relevant but Kevin also makes mention of frequently visiting that lighthouse as a child, specifically for Frown Night. He also says he dreamed of creating the mud womb since he was very young.

There's worshippers of a Smiling God in NV too. But it's interesting that Huntokar, when listing the gods that were born with her, does not mention a Smiling God. Is a Smiling God...unnatural? New?

It's also interesting that Cecil says that a Smiling God appears as a vast cold light in the DOW, but can appear in different forms in other places. Lauren, as it's avatar, is proving that true.

I don't think Kevin made the maze with the triangle markings on the wall, but I do think he went there as a very young child. I think something happened to him, changed him, whilst he was there. I think The Boy is that Kevin, or a double of him, pulled from that part in time.

Maybe DB worshipped a Smiling God before Strex and before Kevin's first return as a child, but like NV and Huntokar had forgotten much of why they did what they did or who they were worshipping.

Future Kevin says 'StrexCorp and their Smiling God'. Did the company change the nature of the religion somehow? Did they, during Kevin's brainwashing, uncover what the child had experienced and twist the religion to suit capitalist needs?

I shall don't believe Kevin is a true prophet. I think he was basically doing science, mapping a creature he thought could be an avatar of a Smiling God. It's certainly pretty worthless as both religious dogma and a scientific journal. But who cares when you have people so devoted they'll alter their religion yet again to make a prophet of a man and change aspects of worship to suit new material?

Pastor Munn even hid that she was doing this, only she wanted to know this special 'truth'. They also loved to lie about the age of their religion. They definitely lied about the age of the book and Kevin's involvement. Likely, someone just brought it over after being in the DOW themselves, potentially with Carlos. Many DB citizens flocked there after all.

What does this all mean?

Worship of a Smiling God is no older in our world than Kevin himself, but they went to seem older to feel more legit.

But a Smiling God has been worshipped in a DOW for years and can take many forms, yet unless it's the Masked Warriors (and what's up with them?) by people long dead.

A Smiling God cannot leave the DOW without an avatar and a Door of some sorts. It's trapped.

So...who exactly trapped it there to begin with and why?

It's important to note that canonically the layout of the DOW is identical to the layout of NV - at least according to John Peters. If the DOW is another universes NV well...that would explain a lot.

No but like. It all circles back to that damn mountain with the lighthouse over it in the DOW.

Kevin got there way back, before Strexcorp and before the Congregation. There's an abandoned settlement somewhere on that mountain, and there are things drawn on its walls. Triangles, symbols. Clearly things related to the Smiling God. Before Night Vale, Kevin somehow ended up there, he learned about the Smiling God and the Centipede and he came back to Desert Bluffs with that religion, and having written books about it.

This isn't stated clearly, but I think Kevin was actually the first human (if the masked army doesn't count as such) in the DOW. I'd say he was the one who left those inscriptions on the walls.

Then, all the Dog Park stuff happens in Night Vale. Dana goes, then Strexcorp tries to invade Night Vale. Why do they want to colonize it? That's right, because of their corporate ideology and their religion. And that religion originated from a creature in the DOW.

Then Carlos ends up there and gets Trauma. He goes back to Night Vale and obsessively researches about it so no one will be trapped there again. Which originates more trouble. He stops after the events of It Devours! and settles down for a while, but when Janet Lubelle brings back his Trauma he decides to fucking restart his research.

The plot of WTNV can't not be related to Carlos because, hello, Cecil has made so much of his program about him since episode one. And, ever since he started his research on the House That Does Not Exist, he's pulled back over and over again to the DOW. It's like he wasn't only physically limited to leave that damn mountain with that godforsaken lighthouse. Emotionally, he's there, too. Always trying to leave that mountain, but every time he goes in the contrary direction, he ends up coming again and again to that mountain.

He's tired but restless, just like in the DOW where he didn't feel nor hunger nor thirst and his phone was always almost fully charged. He's still restless about the DOW, and he's trying to leave so badly but it pulls him over and over and over and over again, back to that stupid fucking mountain, back to that creepy lighthouse, back to the blinking light on top of it.

And that, that's painful. Gets me every time.

[eonian-nightmare]

Love this take and as such i would like to add to it. Keeping in mind that Kevin is Cecil's double, I want to look at how this theory would affect him.

Now, to do this I think it's important to note that Cecil and Kevin aren't identical, and instead of simply being versions of one another, they almost act as polar opposites. This is where, considering the significance of mirrors in the story, I'd like to pose the idea that they are reflections of one another.

When Kevin hides behind his smile, we often see Cecil hide behind fear. Similarly, Kevin often speaks highly of those around him, but gets along with no one, Cecil on the otherhand, will be insult anyone and everyone, but is loved by all. Hell, Kevin and Cecil even show this comparison in their love life, in which Cecil chased after Carlos until he had to step back, whereas, Kevin was chased after by Charles, until Kevin was forced to step up.

As such, when we think of the smiling god representing an abusive paternal figure, it makes sense to consider Nightvale's Deity as representing Cecil's abusive parent; his mother.

Huntokar the destroyer has taken many shapes in WTNV, but at her core she is a maternal being who loves her city, but can't help but Harm it. It's in her nature, she loved to much she destroys. Much like how a death Oracle (Cecil's mother) can't help but end lives due to their visions.

But how does Huntokar hold up to the smiling god? Well, coming from a town where the smiling gods word is absolute (we is often a troupe paired with physically abusive parents), Nightvale never revieves Huntokars messages, interpreting them as random noises, dots and line, lights etc., creating an absence of religious importance in nightvale.

Sure, nightvale still has its rituals, and weird traditions, kinda of like how despite it all every human is still born of two parents, but much like Cecil's mother being absent in his life, so is huntokar. The town literally buried her in their history, pushed her into the back part of their memories and chose to ignore her.

Infact, it goes so far that anyone who acknowledges those messages she chooses to send (like Steve), are ostracised. After all, Cecil hates talking about his past(or his mother), Whereas Kevin, who has shown no issue with discussing his past, comes from a town which revels in the smiling gods every word.

The fact that Huntokar has returned in the form of Susan, someone Cecil truly despises, could pinpoint further plot involving a possible retry of Cecil's mother into his life, and with all the messages and signs of his father trying to contact him.

Now, continuing to follow OPs train of thought, if we look into the association of the smiling god, Kevin and insects we do find alot of imagery pointing towards his father. But what else is represented by insects? Huntokar. If we can recall early on, Huntokar is always represented by cockroaches. They seems to follow her wherever she goes.

Finally, I'd like to address this new information we have of the smiling god not liking Kevin, whilst we are aware Huntokar quite likes Cecil, just cant help but destroying. Could this to be a representation of the pair?

What do you think this could mean? Are we going to have the parents return, will the smiling god soon walk amongst us like huntokar? Will he cause chaos and divide the town, considering that would be the opposite of huntikar who seems to be settling into her role of Susan?

I have so much more to say but it's late, I'm rambling. And yeah. Love this theory op.

God the Father

I'm starting to suspect that the Smiling God is at least in part a representation of Kevin's father. Not just in the usual way that gods are often treated like fathers, but in some very specific ways that are only possible in a setting like Welcome to Night Vale.

Kevin's father was abusive, we can get that pretty easily from "All Smiles Eve." One of the patreon posts describes Kevin's 'Papa' as something living in the walls and seems to imply stages of a life cycle similar to an insect. (Patreon also mentions that his father called him Kev, which explains why he hates it.) And Kevin is the Voice of the Bluffs--unexplained powers never mentioned again are to be expected. There's also the problem of when worship of the Smiling God started--Kevin is the founding prophet of the church he grew up in, which didn't exist before Strex arrived.

Considering all that it would make sense if the Smiling God was something that Kevin manifested while a brainwashed Strex drone, formed of all his misery and bad memories. The fake happiness from Strex, the centipedes from his childhood trauma, the devouring a bit of both. And because Kevin is symbolic of the entire town, the Smiling God was always there now.

[kevin--of-desert-bluffs]

Huntokar and Desert Bluffs

Theory: Just as there are multiple Night Vales, there are multiple Desert Bluffs. In said realities, Desert Bluffs exists either in the place of, is a part of or exists alongside of Night Vale.

The Desert Bluffs that Cecil mentioned in Pilot, Station Management, PTA meeting, The Drawbridge, History week, The Lights in Radon Canyon, Wheat and Wheat by-products, The Candidate and The Traveller (all before the events of Sandstorm) was a Desert Bluffs that existed as it’s own town alongside Night Vale and was not, originally, full of doubles. 

This is why Cecil speaks of it freely (insulting it in the same bias way that he insults Steve Carlsberg) and how they were able to have various sports matches with nobody ever seeming to see their double and why the citizens of Desert Bluffs freely came to buy corn from John Peters. 

The Desert Bluffs that replaces that version (but not entirely) during Sandstorm and is owned by Strex is from another reality where Night Vale didn’t exist/Desert Bluffs was Night Vale. Hence why in Triptych, the Kevin immediately before Strex’s take over hadn’t even heard of Night Vale. Something he surely would have if they were indeed, just sister cities.

I say it didn’t entirely replace it only because Cecil speaks of an ‘incident’ happening to Desert Bluffs both before and after Strex’s attempted takeover. What prompts him to mention it after is a past Kevin giving contradictory information to what Cecil knows should be real. So the two realities possible came from two different times and were pushed together to form some horrible present. Kevin (post Strex, whom we met) also seems to speak of Vanessa as though she were alive, but also admits she’s dead and that some incident happened as if he’s not sure what time/reality he’s a part of either.

There is a Desert Bluffs that we know of, which was a blend of those two realities, that is now actually part of Night Vale.

There is a Desert Bluffs (too) in a desert otherworld, existing precariously in the same reality as a Smiling God.

Did Huntokar create the Desert Bluffs we know of on purpose? The answer is probably no. Though they are realities in which she created it, either instead of or as well as Night Vale. Chances are the pre-sandstorm version was just another random town and the post-sandstorm version is a horrifying mix of one she did and didn’t create bleeding into a creation of Night Vale.

Also to note - the source of the noisy sunsets was said to be coming from Desert Bluffs and Computer’s idea of a perfect world involved their being no Desert Bluffs. Take that as you will.

Welcome to Night Vale: The Hierarchy of Angels: Reaction (Spoilers)

A moment of silence for an amazing woman who has passed on.

When hearing about the note obviously written by the angels about what to do with Josie’s estate, I admit I was worried that the angels are so altruistic towards her wishes after all. Like they did all this just to get at her properties. Thankfully, their wishes weren’t contradicting what Alondra Ortiz wanted: her mother’s belongings and to go home. It seems like Night Vale will have to be her home for a while while the lawyers get things straightened out, however long that will take.

Every time someone breaks out their “Woman of Italy” voice I suddenly get shivers. Maybe because it’s so unexpected even when we get a bit of a warning. For a moment I thought the woman could’ve been Huntokar, especially with the Simone Rigadeau mention earlier in the broadcast. Granted, if it was Huntokar Steve would’ve mentioned the deer head, but this is Night Vale. For all we know, people were stuff that’s odd to us so often that it’s not even worth mentioning. Also, if the Woman From Italy didn’t stick around, there’s no way she’s getting her espresso.

Congrats to now former Intern Karim for getting the heck out of that station while he still could. Better he change his major than end up dead or leading an unholy army. However, he may have a deeper reason for wanting to work with Simone Rigadeau. Cecil said that Simone knows something about 1983 and Karim’s is most likely working with her to understand the mysteries about that year and his sudden lost history. He may end up in just as much danger for trying to find a truth but at least he’s making an effort to solve a personal mystery.

I don’t know if it was mentioned before but I’m glad they finally stated the angels are Erika with a “k.”

Thanks for reading! Likes, reblogs, comments, questions, and followings are all appreciated. Until next time.

Bluefanguy, out.

“He’s been a friend of my family for about eleven years now,” Millie told her. “But now that I know what he is, he’s asked me not to seek him out. So, would you take something to him for me?”

“Of course, my dear.” Huntokar said. “And I will make sure that h visits.”

Millie ducked beneath the counter and came up with a colored square of paper and a pen. “No, that’s okay, he doesn’t need to visit. He never did that much anyway, I just. . . know why, now. There’s just something I want him to know.”

She scribbled out a quick note on the paper, then folded it into a simple star shape. “Tell him to look inside?” she asked as she handed it to Huntokar.
