    I remember seeing a photo, and my first thought was

    (Spoiled so no one's illusion is shattered)
    he looks like a mix between Abed and Dean Pelton from Community

  • VeldrinVeldrin Sham bam bamina Registered User regular
    I am quite ok with his actual face, to be honest.

    The thing that throws me off most about night vale fanart is that a lot of people draw Cecil with a bunch of tattoos.
    Yeah, I have no idea where this tattooed punk-y Cecil has come from

    I always saw him as the kind of dude that wears bowties and suspenders and turtlenecks

    My mental image of im was kinda like the guy who plays Scarecrow in Batman Begins, but less scrawny to match the voice. If that makes any sense.

    Ok, so I finally got into this, and wow.

  • LalaboxLalabox Registered User regular
    This gets quite a bit better after the first episode, and even that was pretty good.

    The link Anti posted
    reveals that he does indeed have a tattoo. As well as a bowtie.

    The Desert seems vast, even endless. And yet, scientists tell us, even now, somewhere, there is snow.

    Welcome to Night Vale.


    Probably my favorite opening for the show.

    I started listening to thiiis on my car rides. It's perfect for my commute

    I dig it.

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    I like how the Carlos/Cecil thing started as kind of a gag but quickly turned into the real deal. Cecil is straight up into Carlos and no mistakes about it like the second time it's ever mentioned, and they don't treat it as anything unusual.

    Initially it was sort of tossed as Carlos having some kind of mystic perfection that everyone was entranced by, so I'm glad they decided to play it as genuine attraction.

    I heard about this in the podcast thread, and downloaded a handful of episodes.

    The First Date episode is the one that got me to subscribe.

    "Like they say, 'All you need is love, to crush your enemies!'"

    I've been digging through the archives. Good stuff.

    Agreed. I actually think it's kind of cute.

    I just got to episode 19B

    not enough D:D:D: in the world

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    Yes. It isn't an insane time investment, unfortunately. Each episode is like 20 min and there are, what, 29 eps right now?

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    yeah they only come out twice monthly, and builds as it goes.

    My interpretation was that Carlos was a normal-looking guy and everyone was unnaturally infatuated with him

    Either because of something supernatural, or because Carlos is an outsider with a cool job and therefor considered exotic and exciting by the small-town locals, and that gets projected onto his average features to an unhealthy extent.

    Fugitive on

    I love Nightvale for obvious reasons but a huge part of it is that Cecil is an explicitly queer character and there's a positive gay relationship as a core element

    That glow cloud shirt is piss poor

    They should obviously be taking merch designs from the unbelievably hefty fan art catalog. With proper dues paid to the artists of course.

    Love the Candidate's ending proverb:

    Does the carpet match the drapes?

    No

    It doesn't

    I always listen to the very very end of the episode for the proverbs, they're usually really great. You can tell that they're just jokes the writers left on the floor but still wanted to get in somehow.
