The internet is really good at speaking in extremes. Someone is either the G.O.A.T. or someone is trash. Someone is the internet’s boyfriend, or the internet’s villain. And there’s very little gray space, where people come to the dais of the public square. It is only kind of for one of those extreme reasons. They are the greatest of all time, we worship them, or they’re the worst thing ever, let’s mock them, at a time when they could probably use a helping hand, not mockery.
Dylan Marron on the lack of nuance in online conversations while discussing his new podcast, The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks. Click through to listen to the whole interview or read a full transcript!

The canon queer character of the day is:
Carlos the Scientist from Welcome to Night Vale, who is gay.

btw if anyone is wondering why we haven't heard from Carlos at all since the start of the season it's probably because Dylan Marron is a writer for Ted Lasso now. I'm literally not making this up.

I just got so much more excited for Colin’s storyline this season when I remembered that Dylan Marron (aka Carlos the Scientist) is one of the Staff Writers for Ted Lasso this season.

“As a kid I would sometimes scream "I hate you!" to my parents at the top of my lungs. The trigger for this varied. Maybe they had broken the news to me that a playdate needed to be rescheduled, or maybe my television privileges had been revoked until I did my home-work. I probably said it, too, when they sat me down to review our new holiday itinerary during the first year of their divorce. Of course, I didn't mean that I hated them literally. To be honest, I don't think I knew what I meant. Maybe it was the preternatural entitlement that is found in only children, but I think it was something else: "Hate" was the only shorthand I had to express such big and indescribable feelings. Because I couldn't yet say "I am feeling something so profound and complex, the scope of which my burgeoning emotional vocabulary does not contain the words to describe, but if you'll be so kind as to give me space to process these emotions, I will accurately diagnose what is happening to me, I just said, "I hate you” instead. The closest approximation.
I wonder if a similar phenomenon was happening when this constant barrage of digital negativity came my way at such a fast rate. That in its relentlessness it became impossible to distinguish the level of severity of each comment or message. Perhaps, like my gestating mind in childhood, my developing digital mind didn't know how to process such a huge volume of criticism. So, instead of calling the folder on my desktop the "WIDE SPECTRUM OF DIGITAL NEGATIVITY THAT RANGES FROM MILD GRIEVANCE TO LITERAL DEATH THREATS OH AND ALSO TOTALLY JUSTIFIED CRITICISM, ALL OF WHICH COME FROM INDIVIDUAL HUMANS WITH THEIR OWN UNIQUE BACKSTORIES AND EXPERIENCES FOLDER,” I instead simply called it the HATE FOLDER, which got the job done much quicker.

Live action Night Vale where Harvey Guillén plays Carlos and the actor who plays Cecil changes every five minutes but they’re both still voiced by Dylan Marron and Cecil Baldwin

I almost never notice what a certain writer brings to an episode of a show. That said, Dylan Marron brought so much to this week’s ep of Ted Lasso. I could rant for hours on why he’s the perfect match for the direction the story takes

Episode 202: Dylan Marron
In Episode 202, “Dylan Marron,” Elizabeth and Flourish talk to the creator and host of the new (and very fandomy!) podcast, The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks. They discuss the threads of his career that influenced the project—including his early encounters with fandom as part of the Welcome to Night Vale cast and his viral video series on racism in film, Every Single Word—and talk through the many layers of Jar Jar, which details what happened when some Star Wars fans on the early internet declared war on Jar Jar Binks—and destroyed the life of the man who played him.

Still thinking about that time school put on a TEDtalk and I was sat there like "why do I recognise this guy's voice....oh! He sounds like Carlos WTNV! Wow! Weird" then when I got home I looked up the speaker and it was the guy who plays Carlos WTNV 😭

I'm listening to "the redemption of Jar Jar Binks," Dylan Marron's new podcast, and Ahmed Best is talking about how Liam Neeson supported him when he had ideas on set and soothed his imposter syndrome as a young actor. It's so sweet and so interesting to listen to!
Dylan has always been a great interviewer and he's really devoting a lot of time and attention to the whole story of Ahmed Best, not just the terrible treatment he had later.
