What's the deal with fan art and fan fics about Cecil having tentacles/tattoos of tentacles that move? It seems very common. Is it mentioned in any episodes?

No, it’s not really mentioned as far as I know. It’s common mostly because of where Night Vale’s creators got there inspiration from was from Lovecraft. Cthulhu is one of the creatures that Lovecraft did write about and I think that’s where some people have taken their headcanons from also.

However I think it’s just something fun that a couple people have made in their art then others really loved it and added it to their headcannons of Cecil.

It’s just something that most seemed it would be kinda strange since we don’t get much of a description of his character so we share our headcannons and some can pick and chose which they like. It’s nice to see what everyone thinks of and I think some of us really liked the idea so that’s probably why.

So I'm actually very new to WTNV. I'm pretty sure I'm just now reaching episode 20, and I really want to do fanart. But I'm really nervous when it comes to this fandom. Do the fans really get overly angry about other's headcanons? I'm afraid it's a bit intimidating

By my experience there have been a wide variety of headcanons and many have been very supportive in this matter. There have been mishaps here and there with the fandom. Since there isn’t that much with visual with Night Vale, there have been a lot of imagination with the fandom and headcanons that go all around.

Someone’s gonna like your headcanons then there’s gonna be someone who might not. And perhaps there’s gonna be some to just add on to them and help it grow! I hope you wont be too scared of the fandom.

Only wheat and it’s by-products.

It's been a long time...

Sorry about not updating, I honestly don’t think I’m going to be reblogging much anything else. I’m still behind on episodes, but have heard of the new series and very interested. I’m going to be finishing up the last of the requests as much as I can and probably gonna be the end of that. I won’t be deleting this blog because I still love the fond memories and everything that so many people have created. If anyone wants to continue to follow my artwork, my art blog is @idontevenknow-anymore

Thanks for listening to episode 01 of ‘Under the Vale’, a fan podcast set in the Welcome to Night Vale universe. Please note that no profit is to be made from this audio, although you are free to download and distribute it as you please.

If you enjoyed this, then give me a follow and be updated when more episodes are posted! (I’m sorry about the lack of a layout, I am working on this). Thanks!

Hi! Hope it's ok I message you out of the blue like this. I have just started a fan podcast for WtNV called 'Under the Vale'. It's a fictional mini-cast (each ep will be no more than 3 mins) about a woman named Charlie who finds herself in a cave with nothing but a desk and a radio. @underthevale is where you can listen to it. I am SO sorry about spamming you :( I just wasn't sure how else to get the podcast out there. I hope you enjoy, would be great to hear what you think!

It's no problem at all, I listened to the 1st ep and it's very interesting.

Sorry for being gone...

I've just been depressed and honestly things have just been wild for me. I'm actually pretty behind on the podcasts too, its been more recent that I've been able to actually draw more. It's still probably gonna be slow with this blog. I did some inktober drawings last month if you want to see them here's a link to my art blog: @idontevenknow-anymore

ATTENTION ARTISTS

For more than a year Congress has been holding hearings for the drafting of a brand new US Copyright Act. At its heart is the return of Orphan Works

What does this mean for artists? it means it will make it easier for infringers to steal artists works and harder for people who are making or trying to make a living out of art more difficult. This will effect every artist and all the artwork they have created, are creating, and will be created. Corporates, Big businesses, and publishers want this to pass to make money out off artists works without paying us artists for past, current, and future artwork.

Basic Facts About The Law Being Proposed

- “The Next Great Copyright Act” would replace all existing copyright law.

- It would void our Constitutional right to the exclusive control of our work.

- It would “privilege” the public’s right to use our work.

- It would “pressure” you to register your work with commercial registries.

- It would “orphan” unregistered work.

- It would make orphaned work available for commercial infringement by “good faith” infringers.

- It would allow others to alter your work and copyright these “derivative works” in their own names.

- It would affect all visual art: drawings, paintings, sketches, photos, etc.; past, present and future; published and unpublished; domestic and foreign.

** Ways to stop this or preventing these changes from happening**

- share, reblog this post, spread it for other artists to take notice and action.

- You can submit a letter on how this law can be an issue for you as an artist here.

- Non-U.S. artists can email their letters to the attention of:

Catherine Rowland Senior Advisor to the Register of Copyrights U.S. Copyright Office [email protected]

“Right now nobody has to understand copyright law because you’re protected by it, but under the law they are proposing, copyright law wont protect you anymore.”

According to Will Terry, who uploaded the video:

They are working with big corporations who I will also not name who stand to gain big time. Think about a company that has the largest search engine on the internet…they are putting lots of money behind this because there is a ton of money in controlling and selling all of our work. (x)

Which may explain why Googling the Orphan Works and Next Great Copyright Act yields so little results. Please add any extra information if you have access to it, because I couldn’t find much.

Haven’t there been a billion things like these? Why should I even have to worry?? They’ve always faded into oblivion.

You have to worry because we’re just now hearing about this in a 3 day deadline.

If you don’t give a hoot that’s one thing, you may not be affected by this, but thousands and hundreds of artists who need their copyrights in tact need these. People who LIVE off of their work being protected need these.

If you don’t think its worrying, then the stakes aren’t high enough for you to be affected.
