Adding some more hyper-specific ones bc my triggers are like that
-I believe there's a few episodes where Cecil addresses the audience and tells them to do things like look behind them, lock doors and windows, etc
-there is a secret police in night vale. like several layers of secret police in night vale
-there's a whole episode where Cecil keeps saying the words 'you're not real'. He's quoting someone but still. Could be a lot for someone
-he also says things that are supposed to be sleeper agent activation codes
-someone already mentioned the angels but there's also gods in the plot
-they fuck with the timeline a lot during the course of the episodes and sometimes characters are talking to each other from different timelines
-there's a whole episode about how people are sending messages through the walls
-whispering and faint voices occasionally on the audio as well as quiet tapping, scratching, etc
-he spends several episodes talking about animals that aren't actually animals
-in night vale the televisions and computers sometimes send messages to/talk to people as part of the story
-shadow governments are in the plots of some episodes
-Cecil frequently has his memory erased as part of the plot, and deja vu is a significant plot point for a lot of episodes
-aliens are mentioned I think...or a space war, it's been a while
-Cecil also repeatedly says that food is poisoned, invisible, made of something else, or a different color, taste, or texture than it is. This one was actually a pretty big one for me
You can find the episode descriptions on the website I believe. If not, there's always the fan wiki. Make sure to preview them before you listen to them if you have problems with paranoia and stuff, that's what I did. No shame in stopping if you're starting to get freaked out, fandoms are supposed to be fun!
As Welcome to Night Vale is gaining another burst of popularity, I do wish to send out a warning to people who are very sensitive to psychotic episodes: be careful if you want to listen to it
If you're the type of person who has #unreality blacklisted, don't listen to too many episodes in a row/maybe avoid it all together?
Stay safe <3
