I love podcasts because their interjections of horror are so different. Like

The Magnus Archive: “CHRIST!” To “SHIT”

Welcome to Night Vale: “HELL!” To “OH MY GOD!”

Wolf 359: “GOD!” To “SON OF S BITCH!”

Malevolent: “FUCK!” To “SON OF S FUCKING BITCH” Malevolent has no censorship AT ALL

It’s kinda funny

carlos is like a human that moves into a town full of muppets. and then eventually one day he wakes up and goes to the lab and looks in the mirror and boom. muppet looking back

most normal marine biology enjoyer

Everyone tells you abt how weird Cecil is and yadda yadda but no one prepares you for Carlos I feel. Hes a marine biologist who moved to a desert. It took him a near death experience to ask his crush out. He took theatre in college. He came on radio. He spends hour choreographing TikTok dances. After being trapped 10 yrs in a desert otherworld they write an entire book abt him learning to let go after causing horrific consequences due to his studies on it to then make him IN PODCAST open a portal to that same otherworld and the only thing he can think while horrifying consequences are happening AGAIN is trying to perfectly describe the sound it makes. He stashes illegal writing utensils. He did throat surgery on himself. His idea of science is mixing bubbling coloured liquids and saying hmmm a lot. Everyone wants him. He’s a great dad. His middle name is Dave

Crying at Cecil losing a magical item which was granting him all his teen heart desires and that he may have literally sold his soul for like of course his ADHD ass would (affectionate)

My brain is unable to produce anything but angst.

Like I had this cute fluff idea of Carlos being a Ford fanboy and moving to Nightvale inspired by his favorite scientist going to study Gravity Falls in the 70s/80s. All mostly based on the fact Carlos moved to Nightvale the same year Mabel and Dipper went spend the summer at Gravity Falls.

And it was cute. It was mostly Carlos sending fan letters/reports and Ford reading them and deciding - thanks to Mabel - to answer and making a friend he didn't had a complicated past with (and had a similar love for science).

But them my brain went "Ford would fully assume Cecil was like Bill, right?" I mean from Ford's view there's a paranormal guy who imidiatly is into the scientist? Clearly manipulation.

And at first it was still fine. Maybe Ford helped Carlos own inicial distrust of Cecil. But my brain kept going. To the point it decided that maybe what makes Stan and Ford visit Nighvale after the Weirdmagedon is the news that Carlos is not being cautelos and instead is dating Cecil.

So at this point it was still just a funny au with Ford thinking Cecil is some type of evil charming eldrish god that'll end the world while Cecil is just bonding with Stan and super trying to impress his bf friends.

But finally my brain went: "okay but what about after Ford realizes that Cecil is just an overly dramatic paranormal guy and truly just loves Carlos?". And I realized that while of course Ford would be happy for his friend and relived about the world he would feel even more as if Bill was his fault. Here is Carlos just getting a sweet guy and maybe he was the only one that couldn't see the difference.

And now I need someone to write it and give Ford a hug.

"Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away. So he said to his mother, 'I am running away.'

'If you run away,' said his mother. 'I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.'"

[amazing artwork by @natendo-art of cecil, carlos, esteban, and [redacted] from my ongoing wip (currently at 50k words and counting dw about it)!!]

[ image ID: fanart with a blue and green background showing Cecil Palmer, depicted as a gender nonconforming individual with long white hair, tan skin, five eyes, gold jewelry, and a large purple sweater decorated with eyes, and Carlos Robles, depicted as a masculine-presenting individual with shorter white-streaked black hair, dark skin, glasses, a beard, and a striped tie and shirt beneath a maroon blazer with elbow patches. the two of them hold two children between them and are kissing them on the cheeks. Esteban is in Cecil's arms; he has dark skin, black hair, and five eyes. He is wearing a small variant of Carlos's outfit with matching tie, and he is smiling. A smaller child is in Carlos's arms; she has dark skin, white hair, and five eyes. She is wearing a small dress variant of Cecil's sweater with matching eye pattern, and she is smiling around a pacifier in her mouth. ]

another super motivating one:

"all the beauty in the world was made within the oppressive limitations of time, and death, and impermanence."

Just. Cecil. Everything about Cecil.

I propose we replace all of those dry school wall motivational quotes with vaguely threatening and/or eerie wtnv ones. Because

"the past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us. We can cope with that."

Motivates me more than any 'reach for the stars', and

"as you watch the sun rise again tomorrow morning, think to yourself: past performance is not a predictor of future results"

Is a much cooler way of saying 'if at first you don't succeed, try try again'

Hello my friend, I am Ali from Gaza 🇵🇸

I need your help if I can 🙏

I don't feel good. I cannot obtain supplies for my children due to the high prices, and this requires an amount to buy winter clothes and food because we are approaching winter and my children need other supplies, and this is estimated at $400 💔💔

I came to you ashamed

Can you help me get my children's requirements? I just want a small donation of $25. Can you bear it? I'm really sorry 😢😢💔

Cecil Palmer could do TMA but Jon Sims could not do WTNV. Cecil has no fucking curiosity, as the Archivist he would read all the statements and go “golly, these sure are fun :)” then find out about the Fears and kill Elias in three days. Jon in Night Vale would be fired and eaten day 1

[comes crawling out of the podcast covered in blood] its really good you should listen

[izunias-meme-hole]

The fact that more people voted for Night Vale than Gotham is beyond me because you can LIVE in Gotham. All you have to do is mind your business.
