#basically tma dream logic follows a pattern and wtnv's doesn't so they wouldn't be lore-compatible

[murple]

thinking abt the lore implications there would be if the tma bit wasn’t cut from the newest wtnv episode.....

#tma #wtnv #wtnv 190 #i ASSUME it was cut bc of lore reasons #this episode already does a LOT for the Podcast Cinematic Universe #a world where night vale actually exists is weird enough #a world where both night vale AND the entities exist would be too much #(notice how all the podcasts featured are nonfiction - they all follow the same laws of the universe) #(which are now messed up by night vale) #(but still) #basically tma dream logic follows a pattern and wtnv's doesn't so they wouldn't be lore-compatible #also the tma entities and the wtnv gods (huntokar glow cloud distant prince etc.) would have interesting effects on each other #would the wtnv gods be part of the entities or would they be separate? #if they're separate how would the tma ppl react to finding out that there's non-fear-based higher powers out there? #ones that genuinely try to be good? #and how would the fears interact with night vale? #a place that has so much horror and yet no one's ever really scared by it #what would this mean for the night vale alternate timelines and the tma alternate universes? would the be the same? would they conflict? #what would be the tma-lore explanation for night vale's weirdness? #would it be a place like hill top road? a crack in the universe? i think that would fit rlly nicely with the huntokar arc #but then where does huntokar come in? this brings us back to the tma entities vs. wtnv gods question #also if night vale just. started existing in our world. and tma was part of the podcasts reacting to it... #...that means that tma also exists in our world #(i almost typed that jonathan sims also exists in our world which. isnt wrong.) #or at least exists in this alternate world #where all those other podcasts also exist #so.... looking at the bigger picture here...... #all those podcasts plus tma already exist when night vale suddenly appears. #does this mean there's a criminal episode abt robert montauk? a lore episode abt that desolation ritual circle in scotland? #ANYWAYS
