look obviously we're all talking about waiting for the bus in the rain (in the rain) now that cecil won the sexyman poll. which is great and valid! it was a memorable early weather song! but i spent ten whole days in jerusalem. mmmmm jerusalem. sweet jerusalem. and all i ate was olives nothing but olives mountains of olives. it was a good ten days. i like olives! i like you too

#listening to jerusalem for the first time changed my life. seriously #jerusalem by dan bern #dan bern #wtnv #welcome to night vale #cecilsweep #nat og #1k

Watching WTNV make a sudden resurgence on Tumblr has been wild and delightful but what’s really been striking me about the passage of time has been seeing the recent fanart.

Because unlike back in the day when the majority of Cecil fanart depicted him via...a narrow consensus, most of what I’m seeing of Cecil now barely even represents him as a person, anymore.

He’s the Night Vale 👁, now.

And if he is humanoid? Then his face is...hidden. Blurred or otherwise made indistinct. In the time that he’s been gone, Cecil is no longer a mere Tumblr Sexyman.

He is a Sexy Eldritch Horror, now.

#you know what that is? growth #Cecil Palmer #the original #Tumblr Sexyman #Welcome to Night Vale #God I remember going to the book tour for the first WTNV book #it was in Milwaukee at the same time as the 2015 Republican Debates #listened to Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor get interviewed by Patrick Rothfuss #while Trump was in a big convention center across the street #back when the idea of Trump being president was still hilariously implausible #God that feels forever ago #someone asked about the Glow Cloud and gender #and I forgot both the question and the answer #which is...fitting at least

Does anyone know which wtnv episode the quote "indecision is the present tense of regret" (roughly) is from?

#wtnv #i've tried looking it up but all i can find is wtnv itself and i knew that bit! #i thought it was in the europe episode but it didn't seem to be #although i have been listening at work so maybe i missed it?? #idk it really hit me the first time through is alll and its bugging me i can't find it #any help would be appreciated please! #welcome to night vale

[mississpissi]

fyi im pretty sure cecil has perfect pitch?? cute of him if true

#the fun part of listening to wtnv for hours in a row means u catch fun details u didn't the first time around #but yeah multiple episodes in a row he identifies the exact pitch different sounds are just super casually #love that for him #wtnv

[secretlyhuntokar]

Nightvale thank you for making ghost stories live show a mandatory listen due to this ep so everyone can experience the agony I went through

#jontalks #wtnv #nightvale I fucking hate you #wtnv spoilers #god ……..I don’t even know what to say about this episode #please listen to ghost stories if you haven’t #my first time through made me cry so hard I got a migraine #……..Abby va #! #woohoo! #…..augfg..

[sharpmouth]

sometimes i think about welcome to night vale and get psychic damage

#in a good way. i have the first 2 novels and first 2 script books😭 #if i had time to listen to podcasts again i would have so much to catch up on… i stopped around episode 115? i think #wtnv

I'm on a 100 Gecs appreciation run and i need people to look at some of these lyrics bc they are SO GOOD

"I wanna feel like beautiful starlight / I wanna cry like rain is coming down / I wanna feel like anything again" - starlight

"I was trying to find a way to kill time / I didn't even get to tell you goodbye / I was trying to find a way to kill time / Now you're gone and I can't / Ever say goodbye" - hand crushed by a mallet

"Giving my heart for you to take / We could go and drive / And leave this place" - XXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx

Like!!!! I know some ppl don't like how their music sounds but the actual songs are so good!!!!!

#ok so the first one is just by Laura Les and not both of them #but im obsessed with that song so it goes on the list anyways #/srs i have listened to starlight so many times today #it's surprisingly touching for a song with only 13 different words in it #also i have so many more lyric examples #i took most of them out of the post #bc i dont think anyone actually wants to see several paragraphs of hand selected 100 gecs lyrics lmao #100 gecs #laura les #dylan brady #starlight laura les #starlight #laura les starlight #hand crushed by a mallet #XXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx #1000 gecs #i didnt even get into 10000 gecs lol #not wtnv

Y'all. Y'all. They told us there wouldn't be a nightvale mayor.

Episode 7, History Week "In the year 2052 ... Approval ratings for the mayor will hover in the low 40s, which will be surprising, as there will have been no mayor for over 30 years"

Aka since Dana stepped down in 2018 (EP 129, a Matter of Blood pt 3)

#jasper rambles #nightvale #wtnv #nightvale mayor #im not the first pperson to notice this im sure but this is MY first time noticing andnthats WILD dude #also i just listened to EPISODE THREE which is the first time chad is mentioned and i just love how they leave threads around and years #later are like “ight lets make this something” and its great

waiting for the bus in the rain, in the rain

waiting for the bus in the rain

#cecil sweep has me listening to old episodes of wtnv #and hearing the Most Iconic Weather Segment in episode two was like meeting an old friend again for the first time in years

[crplpunkklavier]

relistening to taz balance is so rewarding man. the extra-early excitement about things like the umbrastaff blasting "LUP" into a wall or hearing the voidfish song for the "first" time. and especially now that ive written mysteries myself i just keep thinking my god how excited griffin must have been. and how brave he was for foreshadowing early and then holding out. what an exercise in storytelling!!!!!!! i love art!!!!

#also back when i listened to it for the very first time i hadnt really figured out how to make my brain listen to podcasts yet #taz was only like my second podcast i listened to i think? #and the previous was wtnv so i was used to MUCH shorter episodes #a lot of the story didnt register with me is what im saying #its just been a wonderful reminder of how good it is thats all :]

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

can we talk about how beautiful the most recent episode of welcome to night vale was?

#like wow #holy heck #idk it just hit me for some reason #like not just hit me as in just now (though I listened to it for the first time yesterday) but it Hit #and intentional or not it kinda felt like it could be a metaphor for an eating disorder or self destructive behavior in general? #the rationalization and the eating to restore his soul and idk. . . #it just felt really powerful #even without that maybe metaphor #with just the you make yourself good one #anyway hmm. . . many thoughts #wtnv #welcome to night vale #oasis's wtnv chatter #wtnv spoilers #wtnv episode 233 #wtnv 233 #woag
