Cecil's victory over multiple anime characters including the runner up from the last sexyman contest better be mentioned in an episode Jesus christ I'm having fun.

Must we pit my plushies against each other?

I just wanna throw this out there because of the Night Vale Revival that is occurring on Tumblr, so if you like wonderful voices and people of Cecil and Carlos, played by Cecil Balwin and Jeffrey Cranor, they actually host another podcast together called "Random Horror Podcast Number 9".

Basically Jeffery is scared of horror movies. Cecil loves horror movies. So each week they randomly pick a horror movie to watch. It's fun to listen to since they do talk about the entire movie so you can hear opinions on your favorite movies, can know a plot to a new horror movie if you don't handle horror well, or you can see the title and try it out first before listening to it. They are very nice about all of it and it has been going on at least 2 years now so a lot of episodes to pick from, but it's fun either way

listening to night vale really feels like im checking in with my neighbors in a town I’ve been living in for 10 years. Oh did you hear the real frank chen is back, the one whose identity was stolen by the 5 headed dragon? And how about tamika flynn, did you hear that she’s not hunting librarians anymore? Shame to hear old woman Josie passed, she was a great woman. And how about our voice of night vale Cecil, did you hear that he and his husband adopted a kid?

Not enough people mentioning that this

Is the closest thing we’ll ever have to a canon Cecil design

[beguilingcorpse]

and yeah i hope this does revive wtnv. i hope we all remember that cecil canonically cannot dress for shit and is married to a latino scientist who delights in the weird and HATED steve carlton but LOVED his niece. i hope we remember welcome to night vale and all it's done as a progressive narrative of science fiction horror comedy. i hope we remember.

the definitive cecil kinlist. subject to change and be amended as needed

bold here signifies my highest kins — i define this as ones that feel most like a selfhood, in a sense. like they’re always there in almost a permashift way but fluctuate from time to time.

italics signify that i’d rather not interact with doubles of that particular kintype — i hate to do it because i’m sure you guys are great, but it’s mostly a comfort thing and i’ll block freely.

i’m aware there’s. a lot. here. but it’s not like i can help it and i’ve wanted to talk about many of my other types here too.

fiction kintypes

the emcee - cabaret (2019 olney theatre w/ aspects of mason alexander park’s 2021(?) revival)

cecil gershwin palmer - welcome to night vale

r.m. renfield - dracula (1931 primarily)

peter nureyev - the penumbra podcast

Listening to WTNV 229 again

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

[neilassman]

Whenever they post their new takes on wtnvs and their dynamics, i fall more and more in love with the podcast

Welcome to Hazbin Vale. 1 [Appleradio]

"Hello, hello, my dear listeners! Your dear radio host Alastor is here to give you, once again, the most warming welcome to your favorite station here in our splendid town of Hazbin Vale. It's truly quite a pleasure to being back on the air after that rather unfortunate murder that happened near the studio.

Yes, indeed, truly unfortunate that an unruly teenager didn't pick a better target to pick on late at night when some individuals want to just grab some milk at the gas station and had to live the consequences. But is exactly as they say, my friends; you reap what you saw and that night the scythe of death must have felt a little bit… impatient than usual.

But there's no need to worry about that! I am sure that the thirst for death has been quench for now and there won't be any other danger on the horizon. You see, I am just cursed with an unbearable optimism, dear listener, so I am sure that you will be going home without no worry or concern in your tender, warm, little hearts tonight. Back to your lovely families who all can let a sigh of relief because there is nobody outside watching through the window. Or are there? I would close the windows and keep the lights out, just to be safe.

Back again to our waste of youth, I mean, our dearly departed young delinquent, I think I saw their foot sticking out from behind the counter at the gas station when I pased this morning. The police must have been too busy picking up all the other pieces that they missed it! If any of our valiant police officers could take care of that so the whole body could be put underground that would be lovely. For the family, of course!

I actually tried to get some comment from the police chief Husk to give you all, but someone must have skipped on their greasy filled donuts breakfast this morning because the old man Husk just shush me away, insisting that they were already taking care of everything.

Truly, how rude is that? Has the police never heard about such a thing as freedom of press? Outrageous, I tell you that! But even though I could stay and argue for my civil rights, as I had every right to do, dear listener, I instead walked away to my radio tower while humming to myself our last hit of yesterday, "Murder on the dance floor!" I don't know why I got that particularly melody stuck in my head so much.

Oh, nevermind that. For whoever may care, or be morbidly curious about it, the service for the body will be tomorrow at 9 AM in our local church. Despite the many flaws of her offpring, his mother is a nice lady that knows to stay quiet when it's convenient for her, so please, send her my most sincere condolecencies if you happened to see her. I believe she was planning to move out of town right after putting her son to rest, as she told me herself this morning on my way here. Since of course I had to make sure that she was in a good state of mind and wasn't causing a ruckus trying to say to the police things she shouldn't have.

Poor woman. I can't imagine what it must feel like to have such a loss. The sense of relief to have one less mouth to feed can be overwhelming. She will surely be missed, whatever her name was!

In other less satisfying news, the universe truly has it's own way to balance everything because as soon someone was out, someone else is comming in. That is right, dear listener, while I was having my morning stroll I happened to hear all about our new resident in town that moved to the old abandoned house at the outskirt of everything. From what I could gather by the power of people's gossip, this man is a inventor who primarly makes toys and has made a considerable fortune out of it. How nice.

He plans to revive the toy store that had to shut down two years ago when that whatisherface rude clerk was slaughtered in a particularly hilarious manner there and the cowardly owners ran away. We all remember that incident. They never did find her delicious soft hands, did they?

Another tragedy that we all mourned together, indeed. The closing of the toy store, that is. The youth does really need space to entertain themselves in a safe and controlled environment. Maybe if some teenagers had something like that growing up, they wouldn't have ended up on the ground, ha ha!

Who knows, it could even revitalize a little bit of the spark this town used to have. Now everyone is so afraid and paranoid, talking about all these sudden and inexplicable attacks as if they were worth mulling over rather than an inevitability of life. As if thinking about it is ever going to stop a knife directed to the throat. A waste of time if you ask me.

So a nice change of pace might be exactly what we all need! I heard that this inventor even brought along his own daughter, that should be starting in preschool for the next week if I am not mistaken. I haven't been able to meet the man yet, but it sounds like at the very least could be interesting for three whole minutes if I am lucky. Five if a miracle happens. Oh, along with my optimism, I have also been cursed with too high expectations, it seems.

What I can say? I am a dreamer at heart.

Ah, new blood is always rather exciting, don't you think, listener? Me, I am not particularly fond of children, especially the rude ones, but I am nothing if not flexible to whatever changes may come our way and my curiosity is always killing. That is how the saying goes, isn't it? Ha ha, we have a lot of fun here, don't we?

I think great things are about to happen here, in this lovely quaint town of ours, listener. I can feel it on the air. It's crinkling and static with energy, after so, so long. It's finally waking up. I know you feel it too.

Be sure to give the toy maker a welcome only worthy of Hazbin Vale when you have the chance. Tell him that Alastor will always be reporting the news of this town and to tune in with the rest of us whenever he wants. Remember: I am always here. I will be here to delight your ears for as long you breath and long after you are done breathing. I can never stop or be stopped. That is a promise.

Now, for the weather…"

I can't believe the Tumblr sexyman poll is gonna cause a Welcome to Night Vale revival

[flamingfoxninja]

Yes night vale was the pinnacle and trailblazer of queer media, but it also gave my glutin-free cousin an entire episode on how Wheat and Wheat By-Products turn to poisonous snakes and kill people that we keep using as an injoke for the last 8 years

[thevoiceofdesertbluffs]

yeah i wasn't joking about that anyeays. Kevin getting burned in effigy. Enjoy.

Happy Kevin gets burned in effigy Friday Wednesday!!

Based off this quote

[eelhound]

"But first, a word from our sponsors.

How many ants are there? You’ve never really thought about that, have you? Or you’ve thought about it, but you didn’t really pursue the matter further. To you, 'How many ants' is nothing more than a hypothetical to ponder with friends late into the night. Definitely more ants than humans, one of your friends said, and you all agreed like this was a good point, but you knew it to be a point so obvious as to be perfectly meaningless.

So how many ants are there? Have you googled it? Or tried counting a small sample, say your front lawn, and then multiplied it out to the relative area of the earth? Have you considered whether or not there are sea ants? Bet you didn’t think of that. Back to the calculator, Poindexter.

You’re not a lazy person. Not generally. No, you’re definitely a good person. A productive person. You can tell just by looking at yourself, can’t you? But when it comes to certain tasks, you cut corners. You put them off. Or you go beyond the limits of procrastination and don’t do it at all.

We can hear you, right now, typing out the question 'How many ants' into your preferred search engine. Stop. It’s too late for that. Someone already figured it out. Twenty quadrillion. You could have helped in this project, but you didn’t. Maybe you should do something about this condition of yours that prevents you from helping people count ants.

Now, there’s Chaxlidril. Chaxlidril may cause nausea, spooning, or a nu-metal revival. Stop taking Chaxlidril if you can no longer see birds. Chaxlidril is far less afraid of you than you are of it. And those are the benefits.

You don’t want to hear the side-effects. It’s got nothing to do with ants, but I will say it’s still in the arthropod phylum.

Ask your doctor WHY. Ask your doctor what he’s doing with that hook. Ask your doctor while you can still move your lips.

Chaxlidril: You had your chance. Now hold still."

- Joseph Fink and Jeffery Cranor, from Welcome to Night Vale, ep. 231.
