Oh! I would know about the Pete Wentz thing, it's like you mentioned mainly the coincidence with the Miss Missing You thing, and other minor coincidences like other songs that people wanted getting played at their shows, and the timing of the post hiatus songs after the hate on twitter/influx of love on tumblr about them. Overlapping with Pete historically having been quite fannish and looking things up about the band, and his previous presence on tumblr, as well as previous jokes about the falloutboy tumblr being run by him/him having access to it (like "we have a face to playfully blame when the falloutboy intern does something unexpected" to "this multi platinum band could afford an intern but their lyricist loves social media too much and and went 'i got this.'").

That has a lot of people speculating to what extent fall out boy and particularly Pete are keeping tabs on the fandom-sphere on here, and because the 8 ball songs are kept hush hush it's led to "8 ball coincidences go directly through these 4 and practically nobody else, so it's one of them looking and sometimes deciding with that into consideration, probably pete because he's the fannish charismatic pr dude among them"

Specifically the Pete Wentz has a lurking account/IS the falloutboy intern is definitely widely a joke, it's the allure of the "what if..." combined with being directly seen and the general chaos (positive) of the tour and how we're liveblogging it. Mayybe it's teethering towards unfiction, but less so in the "oh those posts should be tagged unreality they are describing things as if they are truly 100% happening" but in the "it would be funny if this was the situation" way. (Or at least that's my perception of it when comparing and contrasting with the actual unfiction improv game we have going on at the same time with the fake song.)

Hello anon I am in love with you (platonic), you wrote so much for me thank you <3<3 I have realized that I may have been having a bit of a neurodivergent(tm) moment and just fully missed the joke lmaooo. I love 8ball conspiracy theories though!! personally I think we should all subscribe to the idea that it's Andy that's actually causing all of this tbh.... you'd never expect it of him.... and yet...

#ask #anonymous #reading all of this im like 'oh obviously' but sometimes my ability to pick up on cues is. bad sjhdjehdjdj #honestly i think the idea that pete wentz runs decaydanceredated & andy runs the falloutboy tumblr is. Peak humor actually #so that's my vote for all this #fall out boy

Make a shirt that has on the front “i came to fuck and dance”

And on the back it’s got Barbie saying “and I’m all out of genitals”

I was looking online as to why my foot would feel swollen when it’s not injured and was confused when the solutions that came up was that the best treatment would be rice….RICE. As in Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

My dumbass was ready to treat my ankle like a phone. Smh

The difference between tumblr and other social media platforms is so funny to me.

I saw a post on instagram that said “my first customer of the day was at 6 am. It was a mom dressed up as a mascot waiting for her daughter, who is terribly afraid of mascots, so she could chase her down the road”

On instagram it received a ton of backlash of “omg that’s terrible.” “What a great way to get excluded from your daughter’s life! You’re a horrible mother”

And tumblr would’ve been like “ha ha here’s this obscure meme or piece of internet history that this reminds me of!” And it would’ve been reblogged 587,563 times before the end of the day with tags like “This is my calling” or some super long niche train of thought tag.

#tumblr is the best #peak humor #idk what to tag this as

Types of people that could whoop the asses of both God and the Devil at once with a hand tied behind their back:

. People who have been employees or customer service at Walmart and also worked the Denny’s night shift at some point. Both blessed and curséd with rare insight about the human psyche and our modern world

. People who do not like K-pop and unapologetically hold their own in an online fight against the toxic K-pop army. You stood tall, and did what all others could not find the courage to

. People who are severely lactose intolerant but refuse to stop eating cheese and ice cream at every conceivable opportunity, damn the consequences. They have come to terms with enjoying the brevity of human life

. People who have worked for theme parks or sports teams and dressed up in the mascot suits while silently sweating enough to fill Niagara Falls and surrounded by yelling kids. Masters of self-control, others would go on a child-kicking spree

. People who go to the grocery store to buy condoms or tampons or lube or whatever and never put anything else in their cart out of embarrassment. They’re not embarrassed. Superhumans, they are secure in their self-esteem and self-worth

. Gamers who are girls and consistently play their favorite video games despite toxic gaming communities, because it’s what they love to do, and no one will stop them. Mic on, none can best their willpower, determination, and strength

. People who still have not deleted their teenage Deviantart or Wattpad account, even though it’s been like over a decade. They are at peace with their past and their journey as a person. Paragons of an bygone era

. College students who consume enough of various caffeine drinks and energy drinks to kill a full-grown grizzly, while flavoring it with sour patch kids, Kool-Aid, or Gatorade. They do what needs to be done, and then selflessly surpass it by far

in light of people's confusion over cecil's longevity in @sexymanotd i wanted to document a bit of his history for those unfamiliar or nostalgic

welcome to night vale is a podcast written by joseph fink and jeffrey cranor. cecil gerschwin palmer is the main character and voiced by cecil baldwin.

it debuted on june 15, 2012 it reached its peak in popularity in 2013-2014

despite this, wtnv has been one of tumblr's top fandoms since staff started tracking fandom-related data in 2014

for the longest time the only thing we knew about cecil's appearance was: "He is wearing a tie. He is not tall or short. Not thin or fat." and that wasn't until episode 19 which aired march 15, 2013. for almost a full year we had no idea what cecil looked like. so tumblr's collective unconscious kicked into high gear and we did what we do best

we created a tumblr sexyman

from know your meme: "Defining traits of the archetype include skinny body type, trickster or villain role and dapper clothing."

know your meme identifies wheatley (portal 2, 2011) and the onceler (the lorax, 2012) as being likely tumblr's first sexymen. and the onceler fandom was at its peak in 2012-2013, the same time as wtnv. in addition to this, the hannibal fandom has been cited as one of the contributing factors to wtnv's success on tumblr.

so tumblr had created an archetype that worked and the wtnv fandom was made up of mostly hannibal fans - the foundation for putting cecil in a suit was there. and honestly? cecil's at work in the show, why wouldn't he be well dressed?

however, while this explains his attire it doesn't explain some of cecil's more unique sexyman features, namely the tentacles. for this we have to return to the 2014 fandom review analysis where you can see the most popular fandom at the time: homestuck

haven't you ever wondered why almost a quarter (189/923 at time of writing) of E rated wtnv fics on ao3 are tagged tentacles or tentacle sex? why cecil having tentacles for a dick is such a seemingly popular headcanon? well look no further then homestuck cultural hold over.

throughout all of this, the development of the sexyman archetype on tumblr and the rise of homestuck, one creator really stands out: kinomatika

kino was one of the most popular homestuck artists on tumblr at the time, popular for their eridan fanart. if you google image search "welcome to night vale" kino's art is still one of the first results you'll get

their design was so popular in fact it was featured in wtnv related articles from the time

and yes there were absolutely other artists giving cecil tentacles and moving tattoos at the time, but it can't be understated the reach kino had and the influence their homestuck roots had on their design choices

i recommend going through the archive of @nightvaleartclub to see how cecil used to be portrayed back in the early days. unfortunately the earliest fanart i've been able to find is july 2013 and i find it hard to believe it took tumblr a year to draw him. although, i started listening at episode 5 and didn't start drawing him until then myself so who knows...

cecil has had tumblr's heart in a vice grip since episode 1, with "20,000 posts, 183,000 blogs and 680,000 notes using the #Night Vale tag" during its first week. tumblr's love for wtnv has always been fairly genuine, from the impact the writing has had on tumblr humor and future story telling, to how wtnv paved the way for lgbt+ representation in indi media, to how it popularized podcasts as a medium for story telling, to the little comforts some of cecil's quotes still bring people today

cecil is not only a founding father of tumblr culture, but also a blorbo of the people. cecil the character in canon has a tumblr account where he posts his art and slash fanfiction.

although cecil's character has developed over time and we've come to see what a ditzy, eccentric, brat he really is, changing his status from sexyman to babygirl, cecil is absolutely a character you should embrace. and you know what... despite what i've said in the past

[ID: Images one and two are Google analytic graphs for the search terms "welcome to night vale" and "wtnv" between June 15, 2015 and January 27, 2023. They both depict very sharp spikes around 2013-2014 until the lines decrease greatly over time.

Image three is a drawing of Cecil from Welcome To Nightvale. He is white, with white hair, glasses, a third eye on his forehead, and he is wearing a suit. In the background is the silhouette of a neighborhood from the WTNV official art, a galaxy, and a moon. It is tinted purple. Image four is the always has been meme. Instead of the earth is the tumblr logo, and the text is: “a wtnv fansite?” “Always has been”. End ID] id thanks to @princess-of-purple-prose
