#wtnv tamika flynn

One thing I do like about The Boy arc and basically any time adult Tamika is mentioned is this concept of growth we follow we her.

Once she was a child then a teen who led and armed militia and used violence at all turns, but she was still a kid and giggled when she was on Cecil's show and spoke childishly of what she was doing and going through - hiding the actual trauma of the Summer Reading Programme.

She took on a lot of responsibility at a young age making herself a member of city council, and had to sort things out in ways that weren't familiar. But she wanted to start doing things fairly, to not instantly jump to violence and anger. She'd lived like that too long.

And the adult Tamika is struggling in a world where she's no longer a 'cool teen'. Even Cecil remarks once that he misses when she was part of a teen militia and would solve things with violence. I'm sure many of us are guilty of preferring 'the old Tamika'.

But Tamika Flynn is her own woman, she's committed to the world being kinder than it was to her through her childhood. She's committed to creating a world where violence doesn't have to be the answer because the problems aren't so large.

She's a person, not a hero or some folkloric figure and it wasn't fair that she had to take that role so young. She hasn't had a childhood, as cool as may think she was. But who she is now is just as important and I wish her happiness.

I went to the Haunting of Night Vale show last night and it was amazing!!

Fantastic performance, amazing energy, hilarious comedy, thrilling story!

And their outfits were amazing! (Excuse the grainy pics, I wanted to focus on the show since it was so good!)

And the opener/weather Danny Schmidt was very nice! Played some creative songs!

I got to see the newest WTNV live show recently and it was fun! So like any artist who can’t stop thinking about something, I drew some fanart!

[leconcombrerit]

I had drawn Tamika exactly one (1) measly time, so I wanted to give her an upgrade.

It's so weird because during the Council woman Tamika Flynn arc, I kept picturing a 12 year old right there. Like obviously I knew she was growing but listening to this podcast from the beginning will do this to you 😭

"What do you mean Janice is studying for college??? Wasn't she a middle schooler???"

"What do you mean Tamika is an adult and not a kid anymore???"

It's just very... I know this, but I keep forgetting because the period during which I wasn't listening to WTNV, I had this set image of the characters, and while even then they had already grown a bit, it wasn't so dramatic that it felt wrong, but now? It's a trip sometimes.

I have no idea for how long will WTNV continue running but I swear I'm going to scream if one day we see highschooler Esteban or something like that.

Tamika Flynn, detail portrait. Welcome to Night Vale.

I don’t know how long I spent but I *adore* Tamika and her origin as a strong, bad ass girl who refused to let the librarians destroy her and her friends. Thank you Night Vale writers for making such amazing, strong woman characters (Laura excluded ofc)

As always click for better resolution.

Alternate version (darker) and details of librarians hand, book, and machete under the cut:

TAMIKA: He also found a bunch of foam microphone covers, which he was trying to eat.

CECIL: They don’t taste as good as they look.
