#this is night vale what was i thinking

He did this in 2012 and it worked

As funny as it would be for there to be another sans vs reigen standoff, I Do think it'd be really funny if we got Cecil to go all the way. Especially since, in my opinion, he stands the test of time and has come all the way around to the new brand of sexyman.

Like, yes, he was, in WTNV's early days, given the twink treatment. Dapper style, youthful features, etc. But he was never like that canonically.

He dresses horrifically (affectionate), he's canonically an older man even in the podcast's beginning, and he is and never has been a twink (he is neither thin, nor fat. Implying at thinnest, straight-sized, and at biggest, mid-sized).

Obviously this doesn't change the fandom's sexymanification of him, but it does lead him to fit more nicely into the sexyman that the aging tumblr userbase has recently developed:

The Babygirl.

Listen. Apart from the above, he can't cook for shit, he's petty, he's written Jaws slash fic and had his intern beta read it, he is CANONICALLY a dilf, he grows his own weed, he loves his husband So Goddamn Much, he won't shut up about how much he carnally desires said husband, he mentions his kinks on the fucking air, AND HE EVEN HAS A FUCKING TUMBLR.

I think he fits the bill for the pathetic older queer man that tumblr has grown so very Normal about. He is so very powerful. And after ten years of being this way I think he should be allowed to go all the way to the top. I think he's earned it.

Sure, if he doesn't stand a chance in the final four, I'll accept sans vs reigen. But if it gets close enough, say, above 40%.... Maybe we could push to go all the way. For the bit. For one of the original sexymen of tumblr history. For our dear gay uncle, Cecil Gershwin Palmer. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Thinking back to that line in Go To The Mirror? when Cecil’s mom says “why are you crying when you don’t even exist?” and how it plays into the current arc in the way that things are being explained away to seem like they never existed in the first place and how she was supposedly Prophetic and-

Thinking about how for all I joke about it Cecil never had any choice about forgetting traumatic situations. His brain just does that to cope cause brains don't always know what is right for you.

In fact a lot of times Cecil keeps retraumatizing himself over and over for the smalles amount of closure and even creating problem with his relationship with Abby because he keeps trying to fill the blanks, to understand, researching into it only for his brain to delete all the traumatic memories again and again and again.

Forgive the Gravity Falls reference, but Cecil is not Fiddleford nor part of his cult (albeit they are all also very understandabld in their actions), he never choose it. He might start choosing it sometimes but it is mostly because his brain is already doing it anyway so what's more denail? The idea isn't as terrible because having random blank spots all around is all he ever known. I mean it is implied he've been forgeting things for a long time.

I like to think that moments like Abby story finally playing on the radio this time is Cecil actually retaining it somehow. Even if not in all details. Is Cecil finally healing a bit because his brain didn't just delete everything.

There once was a man who ordered a can,

Of fresh tuna for his cat to eat,

But when it arrived, to his suprise,

There was no can opener to be see!

hey btw, here my interpretation of ep249 (or at least how my skill see it) Lets remember that shes now more purplish(?) than her in first blood-gold clothes

i was a bit traumatized by this ep tho (yeah. a bit late, but i had some important things to do sorry)

and. ta-da. my rambles. only them and no more bc no one of my friends knows a thing abt wtnv and current eps

somewhere in the corner, three of my many sides are flexing, each for its own reason. 1st one hopes for a post-Kevin au (to be at least half-real), where Kevin at least refuses the smiling God and opens his eyes (lol) to what is happening and it dawns on him and he gets a little better, but still traumatized. 2nd side is flexing because, like.., well.... Kevin stopped smiling, the Prophet himself(!!!), even for a while, but renounced the main commandment of his God. Where has this been seen? and if it not that, if he doesnt want to save Night Vale from adversity, then at least deal with the reflection of his other ver. past (and spit at Mother Lauren, but this is from mymself back though. optional action) And my 3rd side is flexing from just Kevin. Yeah. Like, my type of fictional characters are miserable poor characters with a difficult traumatizing past. those ones, when in the end it is no longer the character himself who suffers from their past, but their fans. I want to hug suchcharacters, light kiss (platonicaly) them on the forehead, and sit next to this poor thing (yes, I know they will kill me, but everyone has their own flaws, I forgive em) So, we saw Kevin again, not even after an eternity, but only a couple of episodes. My pants are full of happiness. and then the eyes are full of tears. Kevin is clearly up to something, he is clearly serious in his intentions, he knows what he is doing And Cecil is still a brainwashed moron, but hes allowed, he's Cecil

Sometimes i think about when I was in the car and accidentally happened upon a local radio station announcing something to the effect of “and now creek sounds” and then they really did just play creek/stream sounds and I really thought I’d ended up in Nightvale for a hot second
