#*listens to night vale*

[halluciniwaynia]

listening to wtnv in 2024 makes me understand immediately why tumblr over a decade ago thought this shit was the coolest thing ever. it casually but flawlessly parodies the us surveillance state, ultra-militarized police forces, inane human resource bureaucracies and the blasé of the suburban middle class all within the span of three episodes with a very tongue in cheek slice of life format that doesn’t sound possible on paper but is executed absolutely absurdly well

As Welcome to Night Vale is gaining another burst of popularity, I do wish to send out a warning to people who are very sensitive to psychotic episodes: be careful if you want to listen to it

If you're the type of person who has #unreality blacklisted, don't listen to too many episodes in a row/maybe avoid it all together?

Stay safe <3

#I love wtnv and I don't want to scare off people with a strong sense of reality #but when I first listened to wtnv about 8 years ago I did really mess up my sense of reality #wtnv #cecilsweep #welcome to night vale #cecil palmer #also you know yourself better than I do so do whatever works for you

A bus is basically the classic thing to wait in the rain for

#it is Cold #also every time I listen to the Cure I remember the bit in Lisa Frankenstein where she's like they help you emotionally #like they are a very good band but I don't think From The Edge of the Deep Green Sea is imbuing me with anything but melancholy #welcome to night vale #Well tangentially but like You Know

Hey, if Cecilsweep is making you consider to get back into Night Vale (which I strongly recommend, it’s fantastic), but you don’t feel like listening to several years worth of content, I suggest you to start with episode 210 - Ten Years Later. 

It’s a redo of Episode 1, but with every single difference and development that happened in these ten years. It’s an excellent way to mostly catch up, as well is the beggining of the current arc. After that, we’re currently in Episode 220, so you won’t have to listen to that much to be caught up.

(Also, Night Vale has official transcripts now! They’re linked in the official website)

"who even is cecil" get real

#yes i still listen to it #JUSTICE FOR SARAH SULTAN #wntv #welcome to night vale #cecilsweep #personal log #ihope everyone did their civic duty

[lovebunnie]

some cecil facts for people who dont know who he is or havent listened in a while :)

he is jewish

hes been married to his husband for 7 years

they have an adopted son

he has a niece named janice

and a dog named aubergine

he didnt age for an unspecific number of years (around a century) but recently has begun to age again

he was a boy scout and maybe a bit of a gay thing with his best friend earl harlan who still has feelings for cecil even if cecil is oblivious

he has a cat!

hes totally normal and not at all different from any other cat you may know. as normal as any cat from night vale can be

he has really prominent mommy issues

like as in, she used to literally hide from cecil for days and then she died when he was a young adult and his older sister abby raised him and it put a strain on their relationship where abby resented cecil for needing to be raised and cecil resented her for not being their mother (theyre also doing better now)

theres a sorta other world called ‘desert bluffs’ where cecils evil doppelganger named kevin works and they used to fucking HATE each other but more recently, things have mellowed. kinda. well atleast on kevins side i think

cecil never knew his father but its starting to seem like his dad is a tree..?

he has a fear of mirrors and doesnt know what he looks like or how old he is because his mother told him ‘someday you will die cecil. and it will involve a mirror’ normal!

he smokes weed and plays VR

#space.txt #wtnv #cc #cecilsweep #please feel free to add on #welcome to night vale #it breaks my heart to see people not know cecil like this #listen to wtnv. #do it #1k #2k #3k #4k #5k #10k

[valictini]

Genuinely believe that they would vote for Cecil

#Danganronpa might have invaded my brain for the past year #and #undertale might be the reason I joined tumblr but seeing Cecil win feels right somehow #never listened to wtnv and yet it’s referenced everywhere so yeah #had to make a gamble and assume Cecil’s got glasses based on the few fanarts I saw on my dash over the years #tumblr sexymen poll #welcome to night vale #cecil sweep #wtnv Cecil #cecil gershwin palmer #sans undertale #undertale #Nagito komaeda #Danganronpa #my art

if you didn't listen to welcome to night vale at fourteen you can never truly understand the damage hearing cecil gershwin palmer say "he grinned, and everything about him was perfect, and i fell in love instantly" about carlos in the VERY FIRST EPISODE can do to the human psyche

#you will never understand waiting for the bus in the rain #but if you're just now hearing about cecil and carlos from the tumblr sexyman poll you should go listen to wtnv #welcome to night vale #cecil gershwin palmer

[realbigpodcastslut]

I'm not even that old but it's strange that wtnv is not everyone's first audio drama anymore. And even the older people I talk to aren't caught up or stopped listening a long time ago.

We need to bring wtnv back into the limelight because it did not fucking FLY for the rest of your podcasts to run.

#pls im begging you listen to wtnv #wtnv #slut.txt #welcome to night vale

[loneliii-aura]

I'm gonna say it! The thing that made me grumpiest about wtnv fandom back in the day was the belief that Cecil buys into the propaganda! He does NOT! This man is looking you dead in the eyes and saying "do not look at the mountains. The government denies ALL EXISTENCE of such mountains. The mountains are not real." You think he gets sent to re-education every six weeks for FUN?! He is a journalist frantically trying to get around censorship! The government would like to strangle him for talking about this! COME ON!

#welcome to night vale #Throws this into the room like a hand grenade and flees #cecil gershwin palmer #Maybe it was just the circles I was in? #That man did not drink the kool-aid though what #I'd have to re-listen but a hell of a lot of what he said was not meant to be taken for his actual beliefs imo #he was parodying the model citizen to abide by the letter of the law to continue to be allowed on air #Grump grump

did not have "a tumblr sexymen tournament rematch sparked my interest in a media I have never seek out before in my life" in my 2023 bingo card but here we are

#tried to mix his classic design and current ones together hope it works HEHE #currently at ep 5 I don't have that much alone time to listen to it ;;; #cecil gershwin palmer #cecil palmer #wtnv #cecil wtnv #welcome to night vale #cecilsweep #zoup art

[gay-cripply-scientist]

Oh we posting old Cecil art?

#wtnv #welcome to night vale #cecil palmer #i listened to wtnv since the start #and his hatred of the white dude thatd dress as a Native American tracker made me think Cecil was NA himself #my art

"Who tf is Cecil"

You come here. Disrespect our history.

#cecil gershwin palmer #wtnv #welcome to night vale #tumblr sexyman #Wouldn't you like to know who Cecil is #Oh to be in high school again listening to the soothing voice of a man to reveal to me time is a burning candle #this is not gatekeeping I am telling to go listen to him #go

[impulsepolls]

Count things you were genuinely interested in, even if you didn't finish/haven't finished it yet. Best estimate is fine.
