Wanna hear about the WTNV live show in Berlin? No? Too bad I'll tell you anyway.

The live show was amazing and friken hilarious- and the fandom feels so so comfortable and like a second home! And the music by al olender? Friken good. Go listen to her! She's also such a sweet, sweet person and was the first one to sign my signature book! She also helped me get signatures from the rest of the crew hehehe!

The 5+ hours of drive were 100% worth it and it was SUCH a big step into my healing journey too! Dealing with when plans fail and to HAVE plans and not get scared away by big things like these! Im proud of myself and so so glad i went

Now look at these images!! I took some- oh and featuring me i guess? Oooo scary face reveal lol im an awkward fucker hehe

Today marks 40 years since Huntokar tried to save Night Vale and ended up destroying them all instead. She was meant to become the saviour but ended up becoming the destroyer.

Should I start listening to Welcome to Night Vale? What's it aboot?

Oh boy. Oh boy.

(Let it be known that if my irl friends heard you ask this, they would tackle me to prevent the rant I would go on)

I definitely think anyone who likes audio drama should listen to Welcome To Night Vale because it is one of the first contemporary audio dramas and possibly THE first wildly successful one. So much of what you hear in recent audio dramas is inspired by/draws from WTNV. But even if you don't like or are new to audio drama, there is so much to love about Night Vale.

So, the actual plot: Night Vale is a friendly, Midwestern, desert community where everyone's favorite radio show is hosted by Cecil Palmer. Cecil is the cheery "voice of Night Vale" who updates listeners on community news like the angels living by the old car lot, the mysterious glowing cloud which drops dead animals from the sky, and the teenage militia defending their right to read at the library. Cecil occasionally (all the time) interjects with his own personal thoughts and experiences like how terrible the scones Steve Carlsberg made for the PTA meeting were, his niece's basketball team, or the handsome new scientist who recently arrived to study Night Vale.

I would talk about the themes of the show, but they cover so much and it all is so important to me. Everything from family to growing up to feeling different to trauma to grief to growth to capitalism to community to fear to love to the dangers of teaching a spider to read.

It's really an incredible show and I recommend at least giving it a try. It has a dry humor I think everyone can appreciate (including my 58 year old mother who listened during blackout when there was no internet and it was the only thing I had downloaded), even if audio drama or creepiness isn't your thing.

Continuity and Tonal Shifts in Season Ten

This is gonna be a really long meta describing some of my frustrations with the current writing decisions. I'm approaching these as someone who loves the show and wants it to succeed, and I'm not making any sweeping "the show is problematic" or "the writers are bad" statements, just that the writing decisions lately have been poor in my opinion and I need to express my thoughts on that.

So as a lot of people may or may not know, Fink and Cranor alternate writing episodes, and according to Patreon, they have minimal communication about what is going to happen in the next episode, giving the other relative creative freedom. This often works when the style of Night Vale is random, disjointed, and with a lot of left-field plot devices, but with this current plot line so grounded in literal stuff and reality, it is SO FRUSTRATING. Especially because Fink mentioned in a patreon post that he only backreads the past five episodes to maintain continuity - something that clearly does not work when your show is over 230 episodes long, has had tons of live shows, and expanded into three books. I feel like the last three episodes have had a very off-putting disconnect, and that makes this writing decision REALLY REALLY OBVIOUS in a glaring can't-overlook-it-anymore way.

There's no way to know which writer wrote which episode, but we'll say "odd writer" and "even writer" for continuity's sake. I have my personal opinion about which writer wrote what, but I don't want to share that here. It could be that Fink is odd writer and Cranor is even writer, or it could be the other way around, but what matters is that odd writer and even writer didn't communicate.

227, written by odd writer: Blake lures Cecil away with a made-up sob story and Cecil departs the station. Lubelle comes to the radio station and gives a long speech about Night Vale, condescends about Cecil's hold over the town, explains away the weather, says outright that she's taking over, and leaves with the ominous "show over, Night Vale, show over" closing tag. What's going to happen? Find out in two weeks!

228, written by even writer: Actually she just briefly broke into the radio station and left without a struggle and Blake was just tricking Cecil and let him go, and now Cecil is back and Lubelle hasn't taken over anything yet, nor kidnapped him. But science is going to be made illegal to stop Dr. Lubelle and the Univeristy, and that will really mess with Carlos! What's going to happen? Find out in two weeks!

229, written by odd writer: Science is illegal but the University decided to just straight up ignore it and continue with all of their stuff using a bunch of technical work-arounds and sheer numbers to overwhelm the town, so it doesn't really affect anyone other than Carlos, who by the way is barely in an episode that's supposed to be about his struggles. Anyway, Lubelle brought all of her faculty into town, so that's probably bad. What will they do? Find out in two weeks!

It's starting to feel like we're reliving the Star Wars sequel trilogy, except there's two JJ Abrams and neither of them is talking to each other. Every episode ends on this intense buildup and then it immediately fizzles away at the start of the next one. It's like getting edged by someone who keeps pulling their hand away so they can go on their phone and type "actually everything is fine now" before they get back to it.

There's one other thing I want to mention about this odd writer/even writer dilemma, which is episode 225. This was an odd writer episode, and in it, Lubelle asks Cecil to come down to the University for some "tests", an offer that he finds very offensive, but one that's punctuated by Dr. Jones snickering that Station Management has been explained away. It really feels like odd writer is trying to set up plotline where the University becomes interested in Cecil, whether that's for his connection to the town or his relationship with Carlos, and even writer just does not want to let that happen.

There's even a bit of a tonal shift, where odd writer paints Dr. Jones as cunning, "Couldn't be station management. They don't even exist. They've been, well... they've been explained." (episode 225) "Looks like Blake succeeded in tricking that fool away from his mic," (episode 227) and then even writer does an about-face and makes him cowardly instead, forcing odd writer to go along with that characterization; so odd writer decides to just write him out of the story without really doing anything.

The lack of communication between the two writers is becoming more and more obvious, and for the fans, more and more frustrating. There are also so many great fan-assembled resources that demonstrate every episode a character or plot point has appeared in, so I feel like it shouldn't be that hard for the writers to find their own system of continuity - or hell, just borrow ours and then throw in a "extra thank to the contributors of the Night Vale wikia" in the credits or something. You guys do this for a living! Is it so much to ask if we'd like you to be good at it?

"Let’s have a look now at stock tips.

There are many ways to be successful at stocks. For instance, you can be lucky, or you can cheat. Those are the two ways.

Lucky is difficult. Not impossible, but it does require some spells. You have to wear a small bag around your neck stuffed with thistle and rosemary, and burn the one thing in your life most precious to you. And even then, half the time you just end up with your sourdough turning out perfect, or getting Wordle in two, which if you think about it is actually much more impressive than getting it in one, you will say to everyone you know even though they extremely do not care. What I’m saying is it’s hard to aim luck.

So your best bet is to cheat. Fortunately, there are a TON of ways to cheat. For instance, you can do some corporate espionage, find out information before it hits the open market, and then invest accordingly. Or you can manipulate the markets, causing untold suffering and wiping out the entire economy for the sake of buying your third house. If history tells us anything, and I hope it doesn’t, you won’t ever get punished.

But the absolute best way to cheat, and doctors hate this one weird trick, is to join congress. Because there is no law against actively investing while in congress despite the fact that you will be constantly told secret information that will radically affect the markets. And you can just make a ton of money on that info without any consequences because who is going to pass a law against that? You? Don’t make me laugh. Please don’t make me laugh. It hurts so terribly when I laugh. Ow. Ouch. Oh man. I miss laughing. I miss it so much.

This has been stock tips."

- Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, from Welcome to Night Vale, ep. 220.
