So I just finished season 3 of Midnight Burger and I have a few things I'd like to say so spoilers for this season, previous and following seasons as well:

Shout out to Nhea Durousseau who portrayed Tamara Oliver, my favorite new character in season 3!

So my favorite thing about season three, is overall it's messaging about sharing your situation, or drown in it. When the diner crew find Tamara, she is trapped in an impossible situation, hopeless even before the chaos sprang up, with no one to share it with. With Ashley the asteroid, it was a lot of people sharing their situation, but not being believed, even though they had so many people to verify it. On mother's Day, we had people struggling with their relationships, with their loved ones, and themselves. And over all of this was Clementine, someone who refused to share her burden, out of a pride and foolishness that spiralled out consuming the lives of so many.

Season 1 introduced us to the world, the people we've heard and learned to love, and their stories, the idea that a person has a story to tell. Season two was about how we have the power to change our own stories, and the stories of others. We see that in the Teds interference with world's not their own across three systems. We see it in the way the diner inspired so many to rise to meet the world they wanted to have. Season 3 was about the importance of sharing your stories, to throw them out into the world like notes in a bottle, regardless of intended destination, they will be heard. We see this with young Leif, leaving the doc Ellis file, not knowing or caring who found it, or how it was used. We see it several times with Tamara, casting out her experiences to the amazement of people in the distant future, and the benefit of friends she knew for less than a day. She did this twice, and it was heard by so many. And season 4, we learned the dangers of when one tries to supercede the stories of others, heedless of the pain this causes. We see this in Caspar's damaged relationship with David, with the servants of krok, having no real lives of their own, consumed by a mission they don't understand.

I'm freaking in love with this series and I can't wait to see what's next.

I do this with fuck; referencing the name of an abstract deity beholden to many aspects, and I call on them several times a day as the situation demands.

when i say “girl” randomly as an interjection i’m speaking to the omnipresent all knowing being of Girl. asking her for mercy. taking girl’s name in vain

Why would I get back into bed whilst you are drenched in fetid ichor?!? Go shower while I wash the bedding, and be grateful I don't make you sleep at the hearth this night!

God isn't asleep; i cut its growling throat in the midst of its lumbering slumber. no the guards haven't yet noticed; morrow's dawn and howling trumpets are not scheduled for another 7 millennia. so come back to bed babe?

Branch wasn't the happiest about having to go to school, but if he wanted to keep working on his bunker, he didn't need to be interrupted by king Peppy sending search parties to find him every week. Appearances needed to be kept up. It gave him an excuse to shower at least, and see if they had any new books in the library. He could stomach the incessant singing for new reading material. As he neared the school pod, he heard a familiar instrument start up and held in a groan. Poppy's lute. He braces for the singing but it doesn't come. Instead he looks behind the bush to where the princess is kneeling, lute in hand playing her tune.

After a minute she stopped playing and said aloud "Alright mister bug, that's the song! I'm sorry it doesn't have words yet, but I'll come find you when I learn new ones at school! Todays my first day, and I'm a bit nervous. But I'm sure I'll be friends with everyone really quickly!" She stood up and brushed her skirt off before skipping off in the direction of the school pod.

Branch waited a minute before following her, not wanting to talk this early. He made it to the school pod and went about his day, relearning stuff he'd already found out on his own ages ago, all the while tapping his fingers impatiently. It was just before lunch when he realized to his horror he was tapping out Poppy's song! It wouldn't leave his head, and by the end of the day he'd accepted it. He had an earworm.

Throughout the week ha watched the other trolling going about their day, little Poppy making friends with everyone like she'd said at the start of the week, all the while her dong echoes in his head. When the lyrics came to him he knew he had to do something, anything to get it out of his head. So he did the only thing he could think of, and wrote them down. That wasn't enough though, he needed to know if they sounded right. But he couldn't sing it, so he did the next best thing. Folding it up into a paper airplane he sent it across the playground to the princess. Maybe once he hears the song with lyrics it'll leave him alone.

'Fall is here, hear the yell

Back to school, ring the bell

Brand new shoes, walking blues

Climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

I can tell that we are gonna be friends'

Walk with me, Suzy Lee

Through the park and by the tree

We will rest upon the ground

And look at all the bugs we found

Safely walk to school without a sound

Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else

We walk to school all by ourselves

There's dirt on our uniforms

From chasing all the ants and worms

We clean up and now it's time to learn

We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell

Nouns, and books, and show and tell

Playtime, we will throw the ball

Back to class, through the hall

Teacher marks our height against the wall

Teacher marks our height against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass

We don't notice anything

When silly thoughts go through my head

We sit side by side in every class

Teacher thinks that I sound funny

Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream, while I'm in bed

About the bugs and alphabet

And when I wake tomorrow, I'll bet

That you and I will walk together again

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Glad everyone is liking the school doodles so take another one :3

My head cannon is cause it wouldn't be suspicious if Elias was seen with a drug dealer. Jonah came from the era of medicinal cocaine, where marijuana tonic and milk of the poppy could be found in any drug store, that man needs his drugs, and no dread power can convince me that he hasn't done lines by accident with Jude Perry.

do y'all think jonah magnus picked elias bouchard to body hop to solely because he had the most disney villain name ever. like the elias/alias pun was so on the the nose i bet jonah was giggling and kicking his feet thinking 'this is going to be SO funny in 20 years time when the archivist figures it out'

My offering; in computer language, a byte is used to denote the use of 8 bits. The measurements between these two units, is called a nibble. 4 bits is a nibble, half a byte. I went to a school to learn this. It was worth it.

Gloria was searching the cabinets, knowing for a fact she'd left the flour in one of them. She'd been thinking about making empanadas for the special that day, and the only ingredient she was needing was the flour. She found plenty of corn flour, but that wasn't her go to for this so the search went on.

Ava was sorting through her notes, and wondering when the next time to stock up on cigarettes would be possible. Caspar was dozing at the counter, a crossword half finished while he listened to 'Stardust' by Hoagy Carmichael, courtesy of Effie and Zebulon wanting to dance together in the quiet before a shift. Leif was on the roof, adjusting the power supply for his drones to try and make them charge quicker.

As the song finished, familiar static replaced the whistling tune of a bygone era, catching the attention of the residents of the diner who were inside to hear it. Leif was more preoccupied with the random purple glow that replaced the sky, and the lines and patterns filling the spaces between the stars.

"Uh oh," Caspar said and sat up straight to look more closely at the radio. "Effie, Zebulon? Today was going to be normal wasn't it? You were even playing secular music!" Caspar, while exasperated, wasn't trying to panic. Sometimes Effie and Zebulon did random things like change their personalities, this is a known fact. Normally there's a bit of warning though.

"They switching it up today? Been awhile, I wonder who it'll be today. Maybe Plinth and Dark Mark? Been awhile since we had their kookiness to enjoy." Ava stretched out as she waited for the static to settle, glad her day wouldn't be boring.

Gloria closed the cabinet, deciding empanadas could wait till the nonsense in her dining room was sorted. For better or for worse, when those two lovebirds switched things up on the radio it made for a hectic day.

All of a sudden the static faded to a jazzy drum line, and mysterious piano notes. Ava's request might have been granted, they all thought, until the voice spoke. Neither Effie, or Zebulon.

"Hello listeners, the moon has a city. This statement is not in any way an attempt to supercede city ordinance regarding describing the moon, it is simply stating the location of a city. It's boring, and not many people go there." The voice said, smooth, calm and professional.

"Guys!!" Leif shouted from the roof, clearly frightened of something.

"We're busy in here Leif!" Gloria shouted back, shaken by the foreign voice from their familiar radio. "Get your but down here, somethings up with the Mucklewains!"

"Today is a special day for public radio." The voice continued, " Today I am joined at the station by two lovely radio hosts from Toadsuck Arkansas! Citizens of Night Vale, I am delighted to introduce to you, Effie and her husband Zebulon Mucklewain!" The voice sounded very eager with this announcement, clearly happy to introduce the couple, but only confusing those inside the diner.

"So, the Mucklewains didn't change, we got a new host?" Caspar rubbed the side of his head, baffled, while Ava started bouncing in her seat, anything new being something to study!

This is what I have so far, I might add to this let me know what you think!

I feel like if midnight burger showed up in Night Vale everyone would just be chill with it.

Cecil voice: “In other news, Larry Leroy out on the edge of town has reported that a diner appeared in the middle of the scrublands overnight. None of us have any idea how it got there or what it’s intentions are, but the coffee is dee-lish. City council has stated in a press release that “it’s whatever. Like, we don’t know anything about architecture. Leave us alone!”

Also Carlos and Ava. I would love to see that interaction

"Not to let Schrodinger's cat out of the box, but-" cut off by the left hook of a younger me.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP OLD MAN!!! I won't let myself become you!"

"You're thirty right now right?" The fifty year old me doesn't wait for a response, just dives for the knees. "These were going to go bad on you soon anyways!"

Just started Midnight Burger... Is Casper okay?
