Welcome to Nightvale!!

[Szeth's Facepalm]

Hi guys!!! I started this podcast a couple of week ago and I am now on episode 52. It's seriously great and I really need to gush about it. Hence, Thread. Anyway... Favorite characters?  I really like Carlos and Dana (like probably everyone, I'm not special, I know. But there's nothing wrong with liking popular things if they are good. Which Carlos and Dana very much are.)

Random Nightvale thoughts to provoke disscusion:

Episode 38 is my favorite episode so far.

Sometimes I think about how awesome Cecil is and then I remember he'd hate me because I am a Scorpio lol (he is still awesome ofc)

Episode 47 was incredibly painful to listen to and episode 49 was some of the most wonderful audio I have ever injected into my ears via earphones. The two season finales I have listened to so far have knocked it out of the park (especially 49- 25 was amazing, but more sentimental than huge and exciting, I think. And the build-up to 49 was incredible. I wish I could forget it and listen to it over and over again, just to re-create the feeling. And omg I wish so badly I could time travel and go to that liveshow).

Does anyone know where the "Cecil has tentacles that he can sprout and detract at will" headcanon came from? I am not opposed, but its existence baffles me.

Some fun ort/memes i got from pinterest:

NOOOO AHHH I HATE HIM SO MUCH HE IS AN EVIL LITTLE MEAT MAN AND I HATE HIM AHHHHHH

I kind of have a thing about viscera and blood and ya know teeth n stuff so that might be coloring my dislike for him. But also for what reasons would you like him ;-; pls enlighten me i am so concerned ;-;

[Edema Rue]

How can you not like him??? I've loved him from the second we met him 

He's just so happy and positive and also loves blood, but like he's so casual about it.

Also he's good at decorating

Whelp *claps hands in a business like manner* Aes is a psychopath.

What's your favourite episode so far?

[Elf]

I will listen to this! 

[Eluvianii]

I had already given up on Night Vale but I can't see this level of enthusiasm without feeling like I have to give it another chance... 

[Szeth's Facepalm]

YES :D Shard nightvale community RISE! More to hail the glow cloud!!!!

[Edema Rue]

ALL HAIL

@Eluvianii, it might help to skip the first episode. I have a friend who was bored with it, but we made her skip the 1st episode and go from there and she then listened to the next 19 in one day. 

[Morningtide]

I'm going to start this soon!

NOOO

@Eluvianii I love the first episode very much and it sets up a lot of things for the podcast....... but if you must skip it then you do that i suppose... but i love the first one ;-;-;-;-; maybe do it on double speed?

[Edema Rue]

And once you all get to episode 19, you can share in my love of Kevin!!

[Szeth's Facepalm]

Why not love Carlos and Dana instead of the evil meat man ;-;

[Edema Rue]

Naaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.

You'll love Kevin. He is everything people need to be and more.

That sounds like an argument supporting Kevin tbh.

And too late, I had already listened to episode 1 when you guys said that. Maybe for the third or fourth time as this isn't the first time I try to listen to this. I... don't see how skipping it would help. 

I did enjoy it more than last time I tried though, not sure what changed. Maybe Nowhere On Air softened me up for Night Vale's style. Either way, looking forward to whatever happens next.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GLOWCLOUD 

also i haven't reached episode 19 but im excited. Kevin sounds like my kind of psychopath 

 

[Edema Rue]

YEAAAAAHHHH!!!! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!

ALL HAIL.

Kevin is just amazing and precious and *might* need slightly more therapy than Cecil but we love him anyway.

[Elf]

YES WHO DOESNT LOVE COMFORT CHARACTERS THAT NEED THERAPY THEMSELVES 

ahem ahem, Kaz Brekker; ahem ahem, tom riddle 

[Edema Rue]

Is it possible to hear or read the name Kaz Brekker without blushing

[Elf]

idk how you do that strikethrough thing 

but 

absolutely not, its impossible 

[Morningtide]

I started! I think i'm on episode 6 and I'm loving it! It's very funny but that might just be me I dunno. I have an odd sense of humor so *shrug* 

I love comfort characters who need therapy! Kaz Brekker, everyone in Stormlight, everyone in the Inheritance Games... They're great!

If you're on mobile you can't do it but if you're on a computer then there's a button that looks like an S with a line through it. It's in the top left corner near the bold and italics and things

It is truly impossible. He is the best of all time! 

[Edema Rue]

Nightvale is hilarious, that's why I love it, it's like higher level humor 

hehehe Kaz....

Ok I'm glad it's not just me! I was a bit worried that i was missing the point. The humor comes off as rather like Monty Python I think. The complete deadpan ridiculousness that's done so straight that you wouldn't be able to tell if they were joking except for the fact that there is no way that they think this is normal

I'm so happy that Shadow and Bone did Kaz so well. I would have been really mad if they ruined him or casted him badly. But he's basically the same! I mean it's not perfect by any means, but it's really, really good. And Freddy Carter was born to play Kaz. Nails it completely.

[Edema Rue]

...

My parents won't let me watch Shadow and Bone.

[Morningtide]

D: That's so sad! It's really, really good!
