maxnmona posted:All Things Considered Yet another radio voice that doesn't look like what I would have expected them to (there is no actual image, I just see a radio person and think "...huh. Wouldn't have guessed that" except Ira Glass, who looks exactly like one would expect). Anyway, I was thinking about Cecil as an unreliable narrator. He spends basically all his time talking about forbidden things, but the City Council/Secret Police/vague yet menacing government agency/hooded figures can't actually kill him or make him disappear because they need him to let Night Vale citizens know what is forbidden. Therefore, he is probably subjected to a lot of memory modification and re-education (he mentions a "session in the dark box" in the Station Management epsiode), as well as possession by whatever supernatural entities want to address Night Vale as a whole ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD. No wonder the poor guy is completely insane. I mean, he wears furry pants in the desert, god drat. Meanwhile, Carlos has moved to Night Vale to do some serious science, only to find that everything is so hosed up that all his data is useless, his team is reduced to bribing citizens to ring a nonexistent doorbell, the townspeople don't really take him seriously, and he spends a lot of time being scared and/or confused. Cecil is obviously head over heels for him, but it's probably not a good idea to get involved with a guy who spends all his time doing stuff like poking the hooded figures with a stick, right? A scientist is self reliant, after all. But it turns out that not everything in Night Vale is completely malevolent and Cecil isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so it's ok to return his affections. I feel weird putting this where the actual creator can see it, but hey, the author is dead (probably killed by a hooded figure or got left outside on street cleaning day). Also Tumblr is full of morons and is no place to hold an intelligent discussion. (I must admit, though, that I like their depictions of Cecil with blonde hair and arm tattoos of occult Eyes of Providence, because I am a person with blonde hair and a large Eye of Providence on my arm)

In Night Vale, a baby can be born with a beautiful but terrible beard, as a super dense pellet, or as a severed grown man's hand (ew), so that seems plausible. I sort of figure that when the population of Night Vale is described as "mostly human", it means that most people are completely human (Carlos), some are completely nonhuman (Hiram McDaniels), and the rest are a mixture (the Mayor).

Pigbog posted:Ugh. Why would you want him to? Steve Carlsberg can hear both the Night Vale and Desert Bluffs radio shows. Can you imagine how riled up Cecil would get if Steve Carlsberg sent him an email* comparing him unfavorably to Kevin? He might explode. In conclusion, I vote for Kevin as "guest voice that I would like to come back". *I misspelled this as "emaul" at first, which actually seems fairly appropriate.

Camcorder? Do those even still exist? I'd go with "cameraphone recording in portrait mode" as my lovely video standard these days.

At the end, when Cecil did the nervous giggle, I was seriously expecting to hear like a gun being cocked, or a chair get knocked over, or a door slam...something kidnap/hostage-y. And how do you spell Vithia?

maxnmona posted:The character's name is not, and never has been, Baldwin. That's the actor's name. You know, it's probably a good idea to separate the two more explicitly, since apparently some people have problems with that. I think it must be very weird for actors who play fictional characters with their same names, like Jerry Seinfeld, and even weirder for an actor to play a character with their name that they didn't create.

Some Fitter Happier poo poo in this episode. Also, the idea of giving birth to a severed man's hand is horrifying to me. Regular pregnancy and birth are freaky enough, but man...that just makes my skin crawl.

BooDoug187 posted:I thought it just showed up, nothing about her giving birth to it, just showed up at their house and they love it all the same! No, she was born in the Time Traveler episode...which was also written by Zack Parsons. Guess I know who to blame for giving me the creeps. Edit: how is she in second grade if she was born like a year ago? I guess it's weird time poo poo/born an adult body part already/who even knows.

Something I'd like to point out about Marcus Vansten and his chimneys: little boys who grow up sweeping chimneys tend to get cancer of the scrotum once they hit their teenage years. link Just thought I'd share that extra bit of horror with you.

"I study science, not plants or nature" says the man who spent half his first date measuring trees. Also, please keep on describing these ridiculously detailed logos because someone on tumblr will draw them accurately within 48 hours and it's hilarious.
