IM SO SCARED TO POST THESE CAUSD IVE JUST BEEN THE MOST SELF INDULGENT EVER

“just because something eventually doesn’t work out doesn’t mean it never worked out. it was working out fine until, not much later, it wasn’t working out at all. happiness is not canceled out by unhappiness. a relationship is not canceled out by its end.”

i’m having more feelings about it devours than i can properly put into words but holy shit holy shit

1) swearing and sex! in nightvale!! shit and fuck in nightvale!!!!!! we are no longer constrained by the limits of family friendly community radio

1.5) sex paperwork. they need it in triplicate and notarized. i was weezingggg

2) outsider perspective on cecil being a freak a great husband and a pillar of the community

3) evil cult not as just a condemnation of organized religion but as a greater exploration of faith and community the harms of such systems but also the good they can do for people, and changing those systems for the better. changing your own beliefs so they work the best for you

4) i adore nilanjana and derryl they had me giddy and giggling but i also love their resolution

5) hugging a helicopter (&getting to know a member of the secret police!?!)

6) more than one quiet reference to the fact that the barber is still in exile in the desert practicing on cacti for what he did to carlos

7) the implications that these events have on the university arc just holy shit i did not know carlos’ convictions ran so deep because of his own personal experiences and his own fuckup being driven by his own fear and arrogance. it adds so many more layers i wasn’t aware of before oh my god poor carlos this is so fucked up. i already loved the university arc but this just makes everything a thousand times more!!

8) also carlos being stuck for ten years and not telling cecil. fuck oh god (+just carlos perspective more on his experience coming to town and meeting cecil)

9) nilanjana becoming a part of the town finding friends and community <3

10) prophet kevin

11) getting a better description of the layout of the town and the people and the quirks that the contained narrative style of an actual book can allow

12) “science was meant to be hard. after all what was science but a bunch of bored human beings trying to challenge themselves when faith became too easy” HA

13) carlos and cecil are so fucking cute. how attentive cecil is to carlos’ thing about physical touch (pushing away steve’s arm!!) they are so important to each other and to Me

[unfortunatelyevent]

this book is going to be the end of me 🥹

[softlyproblematic]

I love it when narratives start with a male character that has a crush on a female character and ends with those two on good terms but get with completely different people/stay single

Ideally, it would be a case of mlm wlw friendship, but single is also good.

More characters need to become closer only to realize a relationship would be a terrible idea.

So I've been thinking about the implications of Kevin and Kevin Jnr (child Kevin) being father and son, whilst also being the same person. Basically trying to comprehend what this means, when suddenly the line "I remember enough for the both of us" hit me.

What if all this time, Kevin wasn't misremembering events, or the writers were leaving plot holes. What if Kevin's collective memory is of his life but also Kevin Jnrs?

Kevin always seems to tell us two versions of his life, and yeah, it probably has something to do with their being multiple versions of Kevin (which I assume are towns under the smiling gods influence, if we are to believe Huntokar), it makes sense that there's a shared connection there. But what if the death of the smiling god in It Devours! Triggered a collapse of two of these worlds, that's why two Kevin's are in the. Same place, and they shouldn't be and it's fucking with their memory ability. It's fucking with Kevin

Idk I'm rambling at this point but I'll attach a proposed timeline in a bit. Just got to draw it up.

I know this is supposed to be a touching and sweet moment but I can't help but think about what the fuck cecil was wearing that the "hair and skin" on his chest was exposed and that carlos was able to put his face right into his breastbone

If no one’s gonna care for Nilanjana and Darryl then I WILL

Some of my favorite quotes from It Devours!

[kevin--of-desert-bluffs]

Luisa is so aplatonic aroace coded. She's genuinely only interested in potatoes. Doesn't even want to go out on a friend date. Just a scientist and her potatoes.
