A Scientist (but not That Scientist)

Literally a biochemist by degree in real life. Also an artist and writer sometimes. If Night Vale was real I too, would probably go to this scientifically interesting town (and run away screaming, but I’d at least go.)

[valtsv]

concept: a game called “john mulaney or cecil palmer?” where you have to guess if a quote was said by popular stand-up comedian john mulaney or fictional radio host cecil gershwin palmer

[valtsv]

this might sound easy, but please keep in mind that john mulaney has said “whoa, that tall child looks terrible! get some rest, tall child! you can’t keep burning the candle at both ends!” and cecil palmer has said “alligators: can they kill your children? yes.”

[saturniidace]

John has said “🎶Because we’re Delta Airlines, and life is a fucking nightmare! 🎶” and Cecil has said “Delta Airlines, because it’s not like you’re safe anywhere else.”

John Mulaney Or Cecil Palmer?

A story about you, or a story about the best meal I ever had?

This seems like something everyone would like I got a 73% what did all of you get?

When you listen to so much WTNV that you get a 93% 😂

[welcometonightblogging]

Thinking about re-listening to Welcome to Night Vale? Wishing you had fellow Listeners to discuss transcript book commentary with? Or new to the friendly desert community where the sun is hot and its inhabitants pretend to sleep?

WTNV Pod Club (definitely a working title) is currently little more than an idea for an online book / podcast club for Welcome to Night Vale. Fans of the show (new and old alike) will read / listen to episodes on a weekly basis and discuss them with one another (most likely through a Discord group).

The purpose of this post is to gauge the level of interest in such a club.

So, please like / reblog if you would like to participate. 

Reblogs are especially appreciated in order to signal boost this further and reach as many people as possible!

kevin: aw look. my former Desert Otherworld Buddy carlos is getting married. of course i can’t attend the wedding, but i’ll send him and cecil a nice video of me congratulating them

lauren: i want to be in the video too!

kevin: who put you on the planet

[weepylucifer]

but seriously, how did kevin know about the cecilos wedding? and long enough in advance to make a video too?

did cecil announce it on the radio? does kevin even listen to night vale radio? does he have a narc in night vale who gives him all the news? was it revealed to him in a prophetic dream? did carlos,,, tell him? was carlos like “i wanna tell kevin about this!” bc they used to be close and then cecil was like “fine, but make sure to clarify that we’re NOT inviting him. seriously if he comes here i will kill him”

[squid-a-licious-deactivated2022]

Carlos totally told him! I want more platonic Carlos/Kevin hcs

[weepylucifer]

carlos just texted kevin “HE SAID YES!!!!!” once cecil accepted his proposal (he just had to tell someone how happy he was so he momentarily forgot that he hadn’t talked to kevin since 30 episodes ago)

me too i really want to explore that friendship

[welcometonvheadcanons]

In my mind, after Tryptich both Carlos and Cecil started texting regularly, so yeah, Carlos must be the one who told Kevin about the wedding.

[oneofthescientistsofnightvale]

Kevin squealed in excitement when he heard the news (almost) as much as Cecil did when Carlos asked him.

when welcome to night vale said: “Sleep heavily and know that I am here with you. The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together you and I.”

I can’t believe Joseph Fink and Jeffery Cranor used Cecil Palmer and Carlos the Scientist to invent romance.

I remind you he is a hero. I remind you that my boyfriend is a hero.

The Weather for WtNV #50 (Ghost Story by Charming Disaster) was brutal and gave me a lot of feelings so I tried to deal with them by drawing this. Spoiler: It didn’t help.

Happy Anniversary, Cecil and Carlos.
