'One of us will die in a much more eventful way' GUYS I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE A LITTLE WORRIED FOR CECIL HERE

[@larynx88]

Isabelladvoratrelundar Pond He already died in episode 33 so

[@kingofcrawdads5958]

Yodelling Strudel I feel like there's more to it, honestly

[@larynx88]

Y'know how in 'Best Of' Leonard didn't remember dying, and was unsettled about hearing about it? And yet he was somehow brought back when Cecil wasn't available to talk. I feel like Leonard was the voice of Night Vale before Cecil and Cecil is now. But either way it always needs a voice. And we already know time is off in Night Vale... So is it so hard to believe he was killed in 33? I mean he doesn't remember it, and is extremely unsettled about it. I can't think of a reason why he was killed in that particular timeline or why he still had the tapes from then... but I'm fairly sure he DID die. But based off of this it's also possible he was dying every time Violet head took control of him (when he had been auctioned off and was being controlled to save Dana) because he never remembered any of it except the last time, which as far as we know may be the only time he didn't die. Just that since Night Vale for some reason needs a voice, it was altering time/space to bring him back. That could partly be the reason he was so unsettled about being owned apart from the obvious reasons. And maybe all the hardships the interns go through could be tests to see who the next Voice will be. All the interns who have survived have gone on to do great/powerful things. (Dana became Mayor, Cecil became radio host, and Chad & i forgot her name led the army of Strangers) I'm slowly going crazy, please send help

[@kingofcrawdads5958]

No but this is brilliant. I've never thought of it that way before, congrats. And if that's the case, we know Kareem's gonna do something pretty amazing any time now.

[@MacTechG4]

Hmm, can an interspecies relationship be considered a "lesbian" relationship when one of them is human, and one is dragon from an alternate reality? I ask merely out of scientific curiosity, science seems rather quiet on this subject

[@FlameAlchemistXavier]

I mean apparently dragons have gender identity, Hyram and Hadassah are brother and sister

[@Kittymouth]

MacTechG4 Yes. The term "lesbian" doesn't refer to physical forms, but gender identity. Hence a pre-op transwoman can still be a lesbian regardless of her physical body. Though it's a bit presumptuous of us to assume the dragon identifies as female. Or that EITHER of them identify as female!

It's really funny that Cecil named the piglet Waddles because that's the name of Mable's pig in gravity falls. And Cecil voiced the minor character Tad Strange in gravity falls. Can't help but wonder if that was intentional.

[@greygoose8803]

i was like what no way, this came out first... wtf gravity falls came out 10 years ago im going to puke and cry

but he does name it "wobbles" not waddles

[@ArleneErGhost]

"Your name is Wobbles, and your name is The Professor" Am I the only one who sees this as a reference to Gravity Falls?? Mable's pig: Waddles - very similar to "Wobbles" And in one episode he becomes intelligent, which could be "The Professor" reference!
