A Story About Them (WTNV) will always be about Breekon and Hope (TMA). To me.

My plug: got a new strain... it's called "The Dark Planet".. will have you zonked out of your fucking mind

Me: psh... I'm sure it's nothing... the faceless old woman's given me harder shit...

Me 12 minutes later, looking up: the crates. they're ticking, and they're warm- warmer than the air around them, we need to deliver them,

My buddy The Man Who Is Not Short, pacing back and forth, eyes focused on one point in the empty sky, ceasing to exist: What is that? That planet up there. It’s so dark, and so close. It’s looming. It’s so close. I wonder if I could-

WtNV is a comedy but there are so many bits that are just undiluted horror or tragedy and I love it.

"A Story of Love and Horror" being so far removed from comedy that I find it genuinely distressing to hear, and it's about two incredibly minor characters

The fragmented horror of "Go to the Mirror?" that technically explains things while somehow leaving us with more questions

Cecil saying, "Stay tuned next for... I don't know. I don't care. Goodnight," at the end of episode 98

Learning what actually happened to Kevin in episode 73, "Triptych"

Literally the entire ending of episode 45, but especially, "'You know' says The Man Who Is Not Short, looking down at his crossword, 'I worry every time that I'm not going to finish these when I start them.'"

Like. It's a comedy podcast. This is a comedy.

Welcome to Nightvale Episode 45: a story about them ( a live reaction)

Huh... this is a different episode....

~~~~

Ahhh so these guys are why the tiny people that live in the city in the bowling ally are upset

~~~~

who is this blinded guy? (please don't be carlos, i feel like cecil would be a bit more mad being the narrator in this if it was though)

~~~~

ok we are switching stories:

They are wandering in the desert, Dana? you there girl?

~~~~

are they talking about tamika?

~~~~

bad lights... maybe helicopters?

~~~~

smiling god? them? strexcorp? other? ( i don't remember what this is referring too)

~~~~

And now the weather: I like it!

~~~~~

ok back to the story about them. I'm nervous for this blind mand

~~~~

oh no he has knife (the man who is not tall) and that man is from night vale... who is this guy? ~~~~

what is that (man who is not short) aw rip man, he ded

~~~~

so... the one guy watches the other guy die saying "someone has to be blamed" and then maybe cries

~~~~

TLDR: weird story but good to know that someone is stealing buildings from the tiny city which is why they mad

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

Episode 45, "A Story About Them" is one of the most tragic episodes of Welcome to Night Vale, and I will die on this hill

It is a tragedy about a premeditated future, and an unfortunate friendship between someone who is good at his job and someone who wasn't. The Man Who Is Not Short was too genuine, too focused on things other than his work. The Man Who Is Not Tall knew that, I think, and he knew what was going to happen. He was even involved in making sure it happened the way it was supposed to.

His new partner is going to be good at his job. They will not be each other's foil, anymore

#this is one of those episodes that i cant listen to with people who only listen to WtNV for the comedy aspect #cuz they laugh at the lines that i think are beautiful and heartbreaking #aaaaaaaaaaaaa #i love them so much #not tma #wtnv #welcome to night vale #wtnv 45 #a story about them #the man who is not tall #the man who is not short

Do y'all ever think about how cool it is that art inspires other art inspires other art inspires other art in an endless cycle

#like someone else's creation inspired the thing that inspired me #and my art can inspire someone else's art who might inspire someone else's #like original work to fanfic to fanart yes #but also like character to character or story to story #or even just when you and a friend talk about stuff and they inspire you and you inspire them in turn #and ahhhhhhh #human creativity is getting me again

Diversity win! Both F/F and M/M shippers are ignoring the story for the sake of shipping

#dungeon meshi #gonna be talking about spoilers so covering them up with this tag #was falin the main drive of the story #when marcille made an exact recreation of her family home #and had a shapeshifter take the form of her human father

#cw: emotional abuse #cw: gaslighting #cw: animal death #charity - a god whose name was only ever meant to be ironic #i love playing with the concept of religion like this #im not religious at all but i did go to a christian school for twelve years #and i remember learning about the story of abraham. who long story short gets told by god to kill his son to prove his love for god. #and at the veeeery last minute god goes sike! this was a test to see if you'd do it! here's a lamb to slaughter instead #but the whole concept of that exchange in and of itself is so #anyway #one thing i meant to include in the creative notes but i ran out of room for is that charity never calls cunning by his name. #it's just “fox”. which was a small touch to indicate that he never acknowledged cunning's identity outside of being something exploitable. #but for all charity's hidden disdain for cunning #he still stole all his strengths and coveted them. he became known as the fox god. #so maybe some part of cunning survived. despite everything. #“give me your heart.” #“my god. it had always been yours.” #comic art #hearteaters #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics #one more comic to go until im finished with this collection!!

day 15: haunting ♡

#HALFWAY THROUGH??! #minifemslashfeb2024 #ace attorney #lanamia #lana skye #mia fey #rotating them in my head #what if ghost mia DIDN'T agree with lana #I should add that my original concept for this was #that ghost mia is just a projection and lana is just imagining her spite post-mortem #as one does when they are not in a good state of mind #but I also think if mia genuinely disapproved of her actions... that would be so interesting #either way I think it should haunt lana #I just think that would be interesting #like what if mia asked about it when she was alive and investigating corruption #and lana deliberately lied to her #those kinds of regrets... #I love ghost stories... #me wanting mia to actually haunt the narrative...
