Since I haven't finished Penumbra Pod's poster yet, and Nightvale is trending. Here is a Silas poster I made for a class.

If you aren’t caught up on wtnv and don’t plan on catching up anytime soon but want to listen to some eps you’ve never heard before I really really really recommend the 2 parter “Silas the Thief” (195 & 196) like I don’t want to spoil anything but like. Its a pretty unique episode set. One of the handful of episodes that break out from the usual radio broadcast format. It’s like an hour to listen to them both and it’s great

#I don’t want to spoil who Silas is but I really think older fans who’ve fallen off can enjoy it as a stand-alone #wtnv #silas the thief #wtnv 195 #wtnv 196

Wait no! is Khoshekh going to die?????

#noooo #he may be a bit of an arse based on what hes said about his past #but i dont want him dead! #hestia listens to night vale #wtnv #wtnv 196 #*silas not khoshekh i guess

So I've seen people talk about silas the thief episodes and I want to give my two cents on them even though it's like been a year already since the episodes came out and I'm barely catching up. I've seen that a lot of people find it weird that khoshekh [SPOILER] was a human man the whole time, and maybe it's just me but I didn't find it weird or gross or a bad plot twist at all.

For anyone who owns a cat (especially an antisocial one) you get that they are just Strange. They act hoity toity and rude and pretentious and sometimes you think they are too human sometimes but you love their weirdness anyway.

Yes it is a bit sad that he was in that bathroom the whole time but he did deserve it. He was an asshole and a narcissist and he could have changed at any time but he didn't. And thats okay! He was still loved by Cecil and and now he has kids and he's learning and he is taking ownership of his mistakes and the fact that he is just a cat now.

And that's okay too! It's okay that he is now a cat, and that he always was a cat with a human mind and that silas and khoshekh are one and the same, always were. Khoshekh was never depicted as nice, he was always rather vicious and seen as like a hostile cat. He still was adored though of course because he's adorable! For me, it doesn't feel like too much a strange step. If anything it made me love him even more.

#it's all Sandrine's fault not mine at all #oh i did this to myself #silas the thief #khoshekh #wtnv 196 #wtnv #welcome to nightvale #also I like to think that being sick made him go back to some of his old mentalities because he's not feeling well #which then made him feel guilty for being an asshole again #which then made him question more than he had before why he's like this #just because like he went through a lot of mental gymnastics in those episodes #from to #and being sick makes you grumpy so #idk i like to think he's been doing better for a while but just never had that aha! moment #also he's very sweet and caring to his kids which as someone who has a narcissist dad #the steps he made were huge and like. idk seeing that moved me #it's really obvious he loves his children and actually listens to them and sees them as individuals #which is more than I can say for my own narcissistic dad #and he also admits!!! that he's a narcissist and that he's the one who is at fault #anyway i love silas #and i love khoshekh #and they're the same and always were and it's very clear to me at least #hopefully it will be the same for cecil as well!! #alex says a thing #wtnv spoilers

pls I need episode sources for the true ones in the wtnv polls

this is about my "which of these is a fake fact about welcome to night vale" poll and ideally one should take that before reading these answers. having said that, let's go:

NVlians have to fill out triplicate sex paperwork with all potential partners: canon in the novel it devours! a few paragraphs from chapter 13,

2. cecil is an avid tiktok user and regularly records dances at the radio station: this is the false one, it's actually carlos who is the wannabe tiktok star. from episode "218 - the sitter cancelled,"

I tried to get Carlos to take Esteban to the lab, but apparently today they’re doing a dangerous experiment and he doesn’t want our son to get hurt. I’m not sure I believe that. I think Carlos might just want some time alone to work on his Tiktok dances. He’s obsessed these days with getting one to go viral, and he’s putting a few too many hours into choreographing and filming these things. 

3. k[h]oshekh the floating cat is a misogynist: from 195 and 196, silas the thief parts 1 & 2. these episodes are told from the perspective of silas, a former successful art thief who used to work with a partner called sandrine whom he never got on with, largely due to his self-centeredness and misogyny never letting him see her as a full person. it all came to a head when sandrine, as an act of revenge, cursed him to be an immobile mutant cat for the rest of his days, and this is the cat we have known all along as khoshekh gershwin-palmer. however he has mellowed since then and his misogyny has kind of cooled, having kids really changed him.

4. cecil turns a recurring nightmare of his into an nft: I feel the need to say he turned the nightmare itself into an nft, not an artistic representation or anything. from "199 - guidelines for retrieval,"

And thus ends the new Guidelines for Retrieval. Aw, that’s such a nice offer from the Sanitation Department! A little long winded maybe, but I don’t want to be too critical. I know their public communications department has had a lot of turnover lately. Anyway, I definitely will be taking them up on that offer this week. There’s a super vivid recurring nightmare I used to have that would make a great NFT.

5. cecil doesn’t know what fridges are: this one comes from the 2017 live show "ghost stories,"

Cecil: Oh yeah! Carlos and I have one of those humming closets, and when I open it up, there’s a light inside and cool air washes over me and I’m just like – what is this thing? Earl: Well, that’s just your refrigerator, Cecil. Cecil: Wait, that’s a refrigerator?! Earl: What have you been using as a fridge? Cecil: [beat] So tell us more about this master class um, Earl.

6. carlos climaxes in person in voice on podcast: from the patreon bonus episode "holiday." thinking or talking about science at too great length has a long canonical track record of getting carlos hot and bothered, and in one passage of the episode he starts talking about how much he loves doing science with a romantic partner, and, well. I'll just link the clip.

7. a big villain is defeated by getting squashed under a falling cow: major spoilers for very recent content here. in episode "230 - carlos explained," right as dr janet lubelle is giving her big villain monologue, this happens,

DR. LUBELLE: Now you’re starting to understand. There is no defeating me. No trick to wriggling out under my thumb. I’ve gamed out every gambit. Foreseen every fumbling, sweaty strategy. You have lost. And now…now Carlos, I will explain you away. You, Dr. Carlos Robles, were the son of [WHISTLING SOUND OF SOMETHING FALLING FROM THE SKY. LOUD SPLAT] [LONG PAUSE] CECIL: And that’s when the Glow Cloud dropped a dead cow on Dr. Lubelle. I sure hope she wasn’t injured. We should definitely check on her at some point, you know, eventually.

8. joseph fink, irl writer of the podcast, has been a NV radio intern twice: once, in the live show "the investigators," an intern played by joseph fink introduces himself as intern joseph fink. in all fairness, he could just be playing a character with his exact name, I mean, that's what maureen johnson does. however, from episode "188 - listener questions" onward, our world has in-universe been merging with the night vale world, and the actual writer joseph fink has been trapped in the town of night vale for over two years, at one point doing a stint as an intern.

9. a big villain is offered “an extra hour in the ball pit” as a bribe to go away: this one's about dr janet lubelle, again. in the last couple of seasons, tamika flynn has been feeling like she's outgrowing using violence as a tool to solve her problems, so in "228 - diplomacy," she tries the following,

Frustrations have swelled to a new high in Night Vale after Councilmember Tamika Flynn’s failed diplomatic attempts with the University of What It Is. Tamika tried offering them everything from limitless use of the scrublands to a coupon book full of cute tasks like free backrubs. She even offered an extra hour in the ball pit at the Night Vale Convention Center. But Dr. Lubelle and all of her henchmen will not budge.

just listened to silas the thief and honestly I get it. Truly one of the biggest cat lovers and I wouldn't be too surprised if my cat transformed one day into a 40-some year old pretentious man.
