i stopped listening to kfam yearrrsssssss ago but i just caught up on the drama and i’m really not surprised 😂 like dont get me wrong, i liked kfam when i listened to it but it always seemed to me like a b rated night vale lol, like i loved the characters and most of the actors did a really good job!! but kyle and them make it out like it’s some big masterpiece and it’s literally just like. a pretty average podcast lol
okay so i started the magnus archives and i’m like, already semi spoiled for it tbh so i know that there are like, entities ig? anyway i don’t care that they’re evil or whatever, i adore the students from ep 34, idk why but they’re so endearing to me
night vale was such an experiment in fan interpretation. you have a leading character who’s appearance is never described beyond “not fat or thin or short or tall”. the most we really know about like, personal characteristics is that he’s a radio announcer. he’s gay. he owns a cat. he’s jewish. he’s weird. the only real thing the audience gets that’s clear cut is that he dresses very badly; like humorously awful. fanny packs and fur tunics. and what is the most prevalent, wide reaching fan interpretation of this? thin blond white dude in a suit.
guess who got back into a certain podcast featuring a certain friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while they all pretend to sleep?
