WHAAAT? New episode???

Link please?

omg no I thought it would be going up tonight I gotta go listen

Aw. I listen to mine before bed, so I won't be able to talk about it until tomorrow at least. ;_;

...Should I have maybe saved this post for tomorrow? Heh, oops.

Although, I really want to see fic based on That One Thing That Happened Nearish The End. Oh wow, the potential!

Post again in like 2 days! That should give enough time for everyone to hear it. :3 Then we can discuss it and squee about whatever it is. *loads new episode onto phone*

Will do! And enjoy it!

I just listened! Can't wait to discuss it in a couple days. I made a couple notes. :P

Yes 8D I may or may not have written fic by then.

I lost it at "Does anyone want a child?"

It's glorious. I now have this mental image of blank-eyed children popping up at random places in the radio station. Open the stationary closet, child. Turn a corner, child. Open a drawer in the break room to get a teaspoon out, child.

Me to. Practically doubled over in the kitchen, just giggling helplessly. He does the best "No seriously, how am I supposed to react to this?" voice.

I'm wondering how Carlos will react to Cecil now. How was Cecil changed? Mostly I'm just like, "akswhbfskiefbasjefbskjegfskjg"

I also love the children.

Yes, exactly! There's just... so much that could have happened in that time, and there's so much Cecil could have experienced...

There is headcanon floating around that Cecil is basically a personification OF Night Vale, and/or that he's immortal and/or extremely old, in which case it wouldn't be AS much time for him - but then, it also wouldn't have been as much time with Carlos, either. That date was only a month earlier. That is... not a lot of time :(

And how does that connect with people having their very selves washed out? Is Cecil a bit washed out? Was he immune? And yeah, will that experience change his perception of Carlos?

Yeah. And, I mean, technically we don't know if Carlos is human either. I don't think the writers will ever tell us one way of another is Cecil is human or not. So we may never know.

It's just. The endless possibilities are getting to me.

Immune, maybe...? IF he's connected to Night Vale itself. There's a theory going around (because the official Night Vale fandom theme song has got to be I've Got A Theory at this point, and bunnies ARE plausible!) that Night Vale protects Cecil and the things/people he likes. Carlos is protected from most of the weird lethal shit, Intern Dana, who he seemed to get on really well with, is alive and while in the Dog Park, and even he manages to be mostly unscathed from meetings with Station Management, possession by the Glow Cloud, et cetera. So maybe he has immunity from the subway effect.

On the other hand, maybe not, because, yeah, never been stated one way or another. Theeeooories!

Yeah, I know all the headcanons. I sometimes wonder though if he gets through it all simply because of luck and strong fortitude. Which is why he never just breaks down from it all. The thing is, with all of these theories, and their explanations for his survival, they only cover for themselves so you have to make an excuse for every version and such a prospect makes me cross-eyed.

I want more wild theories for everyone in fandom. Each time a brand new theory pops up I always find it so exciting. Someone did a joke theory that Cecil was a dog, which I found funny.

So, do you have set headcanons or do you just swim through them all whenever you feel like?

Heh, that or he's reeducated roughly every seven and a half hours, and nothing bothers him any more...

Oh god, I have no headcanons that are actually fixed XD I especially can't even decide on what Cecil looks like, aside from Oh Dear God Who Let You Pick Out Your Own Outfits. (TUNIC AND FURRY PANTS. I'M JUST SAYING.) I mostly pick whatever works for that particular scenario.

That would be so sad. It reminds me of a fic where something like that happens and he keeps forgetting his relationship with Carlos.

Naw! High-five! We're he same. I just like to pretend he has better fashion sense most of the time? Maybe? I don't know. Same here. I almost wish we would get something canon and then really wish we wouldn't because I love what the fans have made. They're going to do a live show soon so I don't know how that's going to go. Oh, and also a book.

Ooh, I've read that one - reeducation-induced dementia. That was... ouch, and I am very glad there was an epilogue.

I kinda love NOT having any canon XD And yeah, I'm looking forward to those! Not sure if confirmed, but Kevin may be reappearing?

There wasn't an epilogue in the one I read. It was sad.

Me too. It makes adjustment smoother from one kind of story to the next.

Wait, really? Kevin? Where did you hear this?

I just like to pretend he has better fashion sense most of the time?

I just assume that the tunic and furry trousers are standard first-date wear in Night Vale and his usual clothing is closer to what we'd consider normal (or at least what Night Vale would consider normal). Maybe the townsfolk even considered it a little gauche that Carlos wasn't similarly attired, but they're inclined to be kind to him because he's new, and of course Cecil doesn't care what Carlos wears as long as he's there and perfect.

Also: Live show with some of the cast of The Thrilling Adventure Hour? It's not even my birthday, guys.
