[pyrokineticqueen]

Frank has no right to be so interesting when he’s literally just a guy but like. He runs a motel. He used to work demolition. His best friend is his cousin. He has no lungs. He tries not to feel vibes. He unironically likes oatmeal. He was vaporized then reconstructed from ambient air molecules by an omnipotent space goddess which means he’s probably all sorts of messed up. He’s still in an intense rivalry with the goth from his middle school. He’s basically the town’s unofficial mayor. Man has layers.

another d20 campaign another celebrity victim

[starplatinumnun]

cecil palmer is the coolest guy ever. he has an evil clone. he's immortal. he's jewish. he's a father. he was a boy scout. he's eldritch in nature. he's a local celebrity. he can play loud-ass music on command by shouting, "and now for the weather!" he runs a radio show. he had a relationship/tryst with the inventor of the radio. he doesn't believe in the existence of mountains. he asks his audience for dating advice. his middle name is gershwin. he writes hannibal fan-poetry online. he's an unreliable narrator. he has an astigmatism. he has an extreme phobia of mirrors. he's a fashion disaster. he has lyme disease. he writes gay slash fanfic about the movie jaws. he's a tumblr user. he doesn't remember his own birthday. he doesn't know how to swim. he's happily married to carlos the scientist. he struggles with impulse control. he was even an aquarius

[this-is-a-podcast-fanblog]

the fact that Carlos was a professor is so funny to me. this was a man in his mid-thirties with a Career tm and a Salary tm and then one day he abandoned that for a sabbatical and left to research night vale, then proceeded to stay in night vale for no reason other than that he’s gay and batshit unhinged. like he went from grading papers in an office, to wooing a slutty immortal radio host while dead animals rain from the sky around them. imagine you look up your old instructer on ratemyprofessors and you can’t find any trace of him because his linkedin points to a town that no maps recognize, where he moved to basically be a malewife and do sidequests. and night vale didn’t even make him weird, he’s just always been Like That and it gave him the opportunity to let all that weirdness out. it’s so sexy of him, you go funky science man

[goat-goth]

The whole 2023 sexyman situation feels very much like we all collectively broke into the house of Cecil Palmer, wherein he now lives with his canonical husband and canonical child, on the basis that we went to highschool together and want to hang out

*Carlos' voice* THAT'S MY HUSBAND !!!

exasperated hot women played by brennan lee mulligan my fucking beloved

[angeloncewas]

Rosamund waiting for her prince versus Cinderella climbing so many stairs in glass armor to reach her

[angeloncewas]

Do I support Rosamund's story being one sans romance about saving yourself and being who you truly need yes but also consider the inherent romance of princesses

Canon Jonah Magnus is way funnier than fanon Jonah Magnus. Why does everyone try to change him. He’s perfect.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Everyone writes him like Stereotypical Creepy Looking Villain Who Is Easily Angered Into Mistakes but he’s so much funnier than that. He’s trying to destroy the world and put everyone in perpetual misery specifically to avoid someone doing that to him first and his Secret Fear Factory is a shitty paranormal research institute full of offices and bureaucracy because he genuinely prefers it that way. The highlight of his week is on Wednesdays when he does the scheduling for next week and the protagonists trying to get out of their shitty fear jobs use this against him. 

He almost never gets angry at anyone because he genuinely does not care, he does actually try to be reasonable and convince his employees not to try to kill him or break his stuff, and considers using his See Everything Powers and Evil Mental Torture powers on them to be a strenuous inconvenience. When he is annoyed or threatened enough to pull out the Evil Torture Mind Powers in self defense, he just does it and then washes his hands of it and goes back to being the Totally Normal Institute Manager he genuinely enjoys being. Dude could hire and blackmail people into doing all the boring tedious parts of his job but he just likes doing them himself. 

Half of the dude’s character is how Totally Normal he is. Whenever someone has a big revelation about his evil mind powers or his secret immortality or about how he’s killed someone or screwed them over in some way he completely takes the wind out of their sails by acting like this is a normal thing and he forgot they didn’t already know, like they’re inquiring about when they need to attend a new HR seminar by. He treats them like they’re being unreasonable and need to keep up and it’s funny every single time. He’s so good at being a Helpful but Incompetent Office Manager that it’s usually impossible for the protagonists to tell how much he knows and whether he’s screwing them over on purpose at any given time (he always is). He considers little matters like “my employee keeps trying to kill me” and “my employee got me sent to prison for murder” to be minor inconveniences and never holds grudges against anyone because he genuinely doesn’t care about them enough to be angry. 

It’s never stated why he has so little control over what the Head Archivist decides to do at any given time; he just seems to hate micromanagement. He let Gertrude do whatever the fuck she wanted for 50 years no matter what danger or inconvenience it caused (it’s reasonable to assume that the vast majority of attacks on the archives during Gertrude’s day were from people who were specifically pissed off at Gertrude’s actions) and only killed her when it was necessary for self-defense. The whole thing is just a sitcom to him. Everyone is an NPC in his Destroy the World Adventure and he doesn’t seem to take anything personally. He’s Owen Burnett who thinks he’s David Xanotos and it’s the funniest fucking thing.

He overreacted and killed ONE GUY with a lead pipe and now half the fanfic treats him like an incredibly weird little murdergoblin who can be incensed into making mistakes with a bit of namecalling and throws his Eye abilities around constantly. The canon version is so much funnier.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#won’t use his psychic murderpowers bc it goes against his principle (singular) which is ‘don’t do anything i don’t want to be doing rn’#has death anxiety specifically because dying would be a scheduling issue#and also wants to eat the whole world essentially for time management purposes#i dont know where you all got the murderboy concept for him he would literally rather just be sitting there at any given moment#sitting on the bench listening to his favorite podcast the magnus archives happening in real time 

@distortiondyke gets it.

People find out about his Two (2) Canon Murders and go “wait you mean OUR Jonah?” even when they are his Villainous Allies who do regular murders themselves. “That seems like WAY too much effort for him,” says his friend the Evil Fog Man “He’d have to leave his office and everything”

[backofthebookshelf]

He does enjoy an Evil Mastermind laugh, though. As a treat.

one of my absolute favourite things about acofaf is omar’s extremely expressive face reacting to everything that happens while brennan is stoic and pensive next to him

[eachmostremembering]

just want all us motherfuckers to know that in Binx and Hob’s funny half sob half confession in the tailor shop Brennan absolutely said “first time I felt pretty” talking about the masquerade ball with rue
