as someone who actually lives in a desert area of the US (arizona) i'd like to say that white people are actually a minority in those areas and the majority are hispanic and black. that being said, my headcanon is also that cecil's white for two reasons: i feel like interracial couples really are underrepresented (esp. white + poc) and also because the first fanart i saw of cecil was of white+blonde hair and it stuck.

Thanks for the input! I guess we’d have to look at stats for actual percentages but yeah. I love the amount of thought that goes into headcanons and it’s always nice to see what others think so you can learn a bit more about different things. Only solution to the Cecil fancasting debacle is to explore all the options, amirite? And with Night Vale, anything is an option. [cue music]
