#university of what it is

[that01joe]

we lost a lot of iconic characters due to the explanations of dr lubelle. we lost sarah sultan, we lost the glow clowd (all hail), even the brown stone spire was taken from us by the disgusting scientists from the university of what it is… but now, taking away our WEATHER REPORT??!?!? i’ve never felt such horrible pain, when cecil said “here’s a song for you to listen to.” i honestly almost wept. i think we all deserve an extra hour in the ball pit after this :(

OK so. I need to say. I have to say it because it's been bothering me since like. What. wtnv 229, but that whole Blake plot? Sucked. He was stuck up and a suckup. But then suddenly he just. Changed??? And we literally see none of it??? He's horrible to Carlos one episode, explaining Michelle another, and then the next he's just like "ohhhh boohooo lubelle is scarrrryyy i like night vale now :(" Like. Where did this come from. Finknor. Where the fuck did any of this come from. It would've helped a whole fucking lot if there was. Any indication of this change but there, literally wasn't??? Unless you count the whole Blake calling Cecil out of the station thing??? But like. Gragh. They shouldn't have rushed that arc, it needed to have been paced better, hell they could've made it last two years for better pacing but. here we are.

I finally caught up with the wtnv episodes and i genuinely think ive felt this feral since the strexcorp arc. In fact, i PREFER kevin to blake jones. And also carlos as a fellow scientist (if you count stem majour as scientist) i feel the boredom and the pain.

Also imagine if bill nye was in night vale at this time

[heisholdingacat]

ALL of those scientists at the University of What It Is and Dr. Lubelle couldn’t even be bothered to ask anyone to peer review her “research”?

Listening to WTNV 229 again

If that wasn't an allegory for the anti trans laws I don't know what is.

My first wtnv theory!

I recently finished watching all of Night Vale so far, and it took me about a month but I am so intrigued by the mysteries, especially about my favorite character, Carlos, and his past. I have a lot of questions and theories. 

Is Explaining mysterious stuff away just what they do at the University of What it is? Has Carlos ever done something like that? Maybe he left for a reason, because he didn’t want to be a part of that anymore. But they previously had a picture of him in the academic building for a reason. What if the University of What it is, including Carlos is responsible for the lack of magic in the rest of the world? Perhaps it never had as much mystery as Night Vale, but what if, in the past, faerie rings were real, and moss grew on the north side of trees? What if the reason magic shows (like Makarov the Magical) are not real magic is because Carlos Explained it away while he was at the university, just like Dr. Lubelle? Maybe that’s why he just insisted it was magic whenever Cecil questioned him about it? 

Maybe the University of What it is was almost cult-like and Carlos had to run away to Night Vale to get out? that would explain why he was saying there was “no reasoning with them” despite the fact that scientists were supposed to be reasonable people. And they do not look favorably on people who turn their back on them, or who believe differently (though that could just be a Dr. Lubelle thing).

 And maybe what they do at UWII is Explaining, and that’s why the people that do that are just “scientists” no specialization. Perhaps that is why Carlos is never described as being a particular type of scientist, and maybe the reason he is always called by his first name and not Dr. (whatever his last name is) is because he wants no part in the kind of science he got a doctorate in. After all, Dr. Jones says “You forgot what it meant to be a scientist”. Carlos is deciding for himself what it means to be a scientist now. “I don’t know, but I’m trying to figure it out, okay?”

They finally made UOWII merch btw

And the description is a cold open: "Let me be brief. Let us all be brief. Let us briefly be. Welcome to Night Vale."

I knew that wasn't from this year, so I searched through my cold open book

It's from 55... The University of What It Is

[oifaaa]

I honestly do just presume everyone in the world has watched naruto I just can't comprehend a person that hasn't witnessed rock Lee take off his training weights or seen naruto sit sadly on a swing 50 times so when I see someone say they've never seen naruto I just don't believe them they have definitely watched naruto it is a universal life step

[thought-begone]

I guess the real glorious evolution was the homoerotic yearning we made along the way

[cebawoohoo]

Jason, texting Tim: at batburger rn. you want anything?

Tim: i’m in a meeting

Jason: okay

Jason: so what do you want?

Tim: the batburger deluxe without pickles and extra ketchup, as well as jorkerized fries and robin nuggets

Jason: okay fatass

LATER

Jason: come to lobby. i have your food. bitch ass security won’t let me come to you

[prlssprfctn]

I know the fandom mostly agrees that Jason is that one always unemployed sibling in the family, but let me offer you a slightly enhanced concept - unemployed sibling Jason, who is the busiest sibling in the family.

No one can get hold of him. Like, ever. And it is not like he is lying, he is genuinely always has something else to do! Something random and unexpected, and, honestly, all his family can think is: what the hell?

Bruce, frowning: Remind me again, why the dinner in the circle of the family today doesn't suit your... schedule?

Jason, shrugging: I have a book club evening in the nursing home. We are discussing Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad tonight. Can't miss it. Also, Jennet-

Alfred, confused: Who is Jennet?

Jason: One of the old ladies in the nursing home, duh... Anyway, yeah, Jennet is having a birthday. She would be hella mad if her favourite grandson missed it, you know?

Bruce: ...Jason, you are not her-

Jason: (leaves)

Dick: Hey, wanna join me for tomorrow morning's training?

Jason, sighs: Sounds nice, but I have classes tomorrow.

Dick, confused: Classes? Since when you are enrolled in college?

Jason: Oh, no. I am a substitute teacher in one of the school's around.

Dick: WHAT-

Damian, calling Jason in the middle of the day: Can you pick me up from school? Others are busy, there is an emergency in the town.

Jason: Damn, sorry, kid, but I am not in the country right now. By the way, do you want to talk with your mother?

Damian: ...What that supposed to mean? Where are you?

Jason: I was planning to visit All-Caste, but first decided to meet up with Talia. I am kinda in Egypt right now, anyway.

Damian: ...

Tim, already used to Jason's constant busy status, sighing: I bet you won't agree if I call you on the lunch tomorrow?

Jason: Uh, no. I have plans. But if you tag along with me, we can get lunch together later.

Tim, surprised: ...Okay. What do you have tomorrow? Knitting club? A shift in library?

Jason: Nah, graduation ceremony.

Tim: Right, you are a substitute teacher.

Jason: No, no. My graduation ceremony. I am getting my PHD in literature.

Tim: SINCE FUCKING WHEN-

Blake is such a fucking pissbaby coward, hiding behind his boss because he's scared of being burned by the mob. What a pussy.
