life stopping news happening in night vale while cecil talks about his every day life is one of my favorite bits

[@BlackjackMain]

It's a shame that I'm all caught up, I really enjoyed the binge, but now I have to wait to listen until they come out. I'm pouting. Thanks for being so amazing you guys, I hope you know your real worth

[@gamingvampireking1704]

Congratulations on catching up and all hail the might glow cloud

the way my heart dropped when esteban had the rabbit...

[@SirSadness]

I had a little smile on my face UNTIL THAT MOMENT!

[@Nina-gf1fv]

I don't think he has the same rabbit, just another figurine that was given to him

[@ipodman371]

​@@Nina-gf1fv have you listened to the last couple episodes? (Spoilers/my guess for a story ark) They're setting up for another sandstorm. The boy with the knife is confirmed to be a young/alternate Kevin. And Cecil and his son keep having their timelines conflated like they're the same person. And if Cecil doesn't remember his father, then neither will Esteban. Maybe Leonard Burton was Cecil's dad. Wouldn't that be nice.

[@cassandrastillman8796]

There's always this surreal feeling when I click on a new video. It's like, i've been listening to this podcast since the beginning and have rarely missing the release day. There are an actual lifetime of memories in my brain associated with the moment a new episode arrives. Dude, my cats name is Khoshekh and he's 7 years old by now. The comment I made when I named him is probably still in the video that released then. Again, that's baby him as my profile picture. Please look at him. He is quite fat now tho.😂

[@lalizationable]

Night vale is the backing track to my adult life.

[@LiliyaPanina]

Please give Khoshekh some love from me, a random internet stranger who was touched by your comment and can relate oh so much

[@aweirdlookingcat3707]

Being tired makes the listener experience better for nightvale ngl

[@LiliyaPanina]

You're so right. I got into night vale when I was a young teen with insomnia. I'd never sleep, so being tired has always been 100% part of the experience for me

[@scifibard]

Night Vale's tugging at my heartstrings so hard this arc. I love seeing Cecil and Abby rebuilding their relationship and being great parents with their kids. I'm such a sucker for familial scenes amongst all the weirdness and horrors. :)

[@Marqhll]

The Weather in this episode is AMAZING.

[@FrequentFlyer815]

Oh boy, 12am! Night Vale time!

[@BirdmanOTC]

Missed you; nightvale.

[@EayuProuxm]

I don't know why, but this was the first Night Vale that made me feel old. Like the passage of time was finally made tangible.

[@lilaboxx]

I love the focus on childhood memories in the recent episodes, they feel very nostalgic and the writing is BEAUTIFUL

[@Umbri3]

Once again I have my hopes for Carlos being the normal one are dashed, but then I think 'no, he was probably always a weirdo and now he's where he belongs' Let's hear it for fate telling you to live your best life

[@tyronedavies8680]

The proverb at the end of episodes is often one of my favourite parts, and today was a real good one. Thanks Meg!

[@christopherwellman2364]

Ice cream is too good to worry about those pesky microscopic brainholes.

[@hawk222]

Loving Meg's passive-aggressiveness in the outro (and she's 100% right, too)

[@jinx17]

I love that we get illustrated thumbnails now. Really sets the mood right and the illustrations always slap.

[@BlackjackMain]

Blue was a really good song, will listen to it more in the future

[@EayuProuxm]

That was indeed a slow news day for Night Vale.

[@blankrainbow9108]

Last episode was so good! I'm excited to see what happens next in Night Vale👀!

[@devstrider]

love the hard work yall put into every episode!

[@azcdtixs]

[@MrPINKFL0YD]

[@perterisnotahomestuck459]

Episode spoilers! All my annotations from todays episode ^^ Episode 247- Rerun - chop chop episode is a whole minute late - gulp three minutes - Anyways theory time: I hope it’s Leonard Burton. We haven’t hurt from him in a hot second. Or mayhaps little Cecil. Or it’s just an odd compilation of old episodes. I’d be mildly disappointed if it was the last one - YAY ITS POSTED - I actually own all the live shows except Haunting bc I already got to see it live and it ate so much I don’t wanna have anything to relate it to - So it’s not Leonard. It’s not young Cecil. Heart broken rn - I watch Bob’s Burgers to help me sleep. Or Hotel Transylvania. I’m 17 nearly 18 and Hotel Transylvania is still unironically one of the funniest movies I’ve ever watched idk why - Wtf is a cassoulet - OHHHH HES WATCHING A RERUN - CHAT MORE MR. GERSHWIN LORE HELLO??? - It’s like Flint, Michigan up in here guys - I FORGET THAT NIGHTVALE HAS A ZOO LIKE, ALL THE TIME - I wake up every morning sad that I’ve never been to a Ralph’s before. Ralph’s is the most non-Midwestern thing that’s not in the Midwest. - Uncle Jasper’s Wasteland is actually crazy like wtf would that set look like - “I remember now that it was taped in that old factory out in the Scrublands, the one that spews black smoke at night, the one that no one remembers having been built, where Dr. Jennifer Newport currently has her pediatrics practice. You know, that old factory that suddenly appeared about six weeks ago but has also always existed, even before there was a town or people here” god I love NightVale - “Bottomless Box of Shiny Things” is exactly what I used to see the treat box I got to dig through after therapy as when I was like, seven - NIGHTVALE CITIZENS BEING CANNIBALS SOMETIMES IS CRAZY - Glad we at least got Baby Cecil this episode - I’m choosing to picture Mr. Jasper as Jim Henson - AW RARE SWEET CECIL ABBY MOMENT:( - It fuels my itch to write fan fics about them growing up hating eachother🫶 - Woah this is a different weather than usual. Not bad different, just not used to this genera in Nightvale weather - AD JFC I HATE LISTENING TO THIS ON KZbin - BOOOO I WANTED IT TO BE JASPER - I’m glad it was Abby though - “I almost started to argue with her. But then I realized-she was right. When I look at Abby, I often see her as a symbol of my past instead of a person living her own life“ OH DUDE THAT’S AWFUL 😭 - NO CAUSE THATS ACTUALLY TERRIBLE - “Esteban just adores ice cream. His favorite flavor at the moment is Nacho Cheese. Just like his dad. Me, I mean. Carlos’s favorite flavor is Cool Ranch. “ Freaks. - UR JOKING YOURE FUCKING JOKING - NO WAT - NO BC THE FACT THAT ESTEBAN HAS BEEN MIRRORING CECIL’S CHILDHOOD IS REALLY FREAKING ME OUT - No bc this is so much - Wait - Waaaait - The Night Vale discord would be glad to hear this theory - Guys, what if I Esteban is just little Cecil - Like how this boy is with Kevin - Except yk, not wanting to kill Cecil for the sake of “there can only be one” - Cause there’s way too much shit happening rn for that to AT LEAST not be a possibility - God that’s actually crazy what if I’m right - I feel like the one and only Mathew Patrick

[@wingtub]

good theory, no notes

[@perterisnotahomestuck459]

@@wingtub it’s like, one in the morning I’m too tired for notes 😔

Hmmm... where am I?

Let’s get weird

[@detectoplasm]

The government's had some awful policies but banning tiktok is at least a step in the right direction.

[@mudcrab1317]

Can we get rid of the long Jeffrey intros and maybe put them at the end
