Someone told me about this series YEARS ago by mentioning the "Dogs are not allowed at the dog park" thing. Now I'm here because Cecil was mentioned in the 2022 Tumblr Sexyman war. So I'm giving this a chance and oh boy, just from this first episode I think I'm gonna like it
@@commonlogic3646 it kind of gets a storyline, but kinda not; all the random stuff interweaves and things make more sense, incidents have a clear, chronological order and are consistent from episode to episode. although there is no main plot, there are going to be consistent subplots and series of episodes that have an independent plot (those have an identical title among one another and are numbered)

Brings me back to the first time I heard night vale: I was on a walk at night with some friends - it was one of those crazy, misty-cold nights you think only exist in fantasy. My friend was trying to play it on his tinny little phone speaker, witch didn't work, so he placed it inside a conch shell, witch created a deeply weird and wonderful reverb.
Hello, comment section. I am a Night Vale resident who traveled all the way back here from episode 86. If you're new here, let me just say you're in for a hell of a good time if you stick it out. There is so much that happens in later episodes that you will come to know, love, and enjoy (as well as ship). This is truly an amazing series, so I encourage you to stick with it as much as you can. I hope you have a good time. All hail the Glow Cloud.
"He grinned, and everything about him was perfect...and I fell in love instantly" After being 100+ episodes into this podcast, it's so lovely to think back on these early moments in WTNV
I just finished this series up to the newest episode. With nothing else to do, I figure, why not just listen to it again, and again, and again, until the void comes down from the sky and slowly claims my body, and, eventually, my soul.
+Lollipopfop why would you care iif 2omeone diie2 in a movie. why would you try to keep your character aliive in a game. people iinve2t them2elve2 iin fiictiional world2.
I remember listening to this when I was 15. At the time, I didn't understand english as much as I do now so i didn't understand a single thing Cecil was saying. 2018 and we're back at it, baby. Let's see what this is all about.
"The best way to die would be swallowed by a giant snake. Going feet first and whole into a slimy maw would give your life perfect symmetry" I can't breathe!
It’s amazing to see how much the show has changed by now. Cecil’s voice has changed, but also the feel of the show has changed. I love both the old and the new Night Vale.
Re-listening to this is so weird because early Cecil seems so mysterious and forboding, but later Cecil is a gay Hamilton fanboy who has a tumblr in which he posts pics of wood carvings of his cat, and get's flustered around his bf.
what the hell is it about this show that makes me feel so nostalgic i literally only finished it about a year ago but like?? relistening to this episode immediately transports me to my roof, looking up at the stars barefoot in the dusty summer heat, clutching my old iPod in my hand and being comfortably aware of my own breathing which wouldn't be particularly weird, save for the fact that I never did that.
I'm a little peeved that they didn't discuss the issue that one only out of five tarantulas graduate from high school. Most spiders never even enroll in public education, they just choose to spin webs and feast on smaller insects.
Welcome to Night Vale has been a staple of family car trips in my life for a large part of my childhood, it's fun coming back and listening to it again after all this time :) It's also kinda funny, because I get to see just how oblivious my child self was not to recognize Cecil's crush on Carlos until they literally got married. (5:53 "And I fell in love instantly")
(ok slight spoilers ahead idk if you've listened to 112 yet but) it's funny because 1. carlos doesn't know what that box does and 2. he actually reveals later on that he only brought it around to hang out with cecil so my headcanon is now that the box was the og cecilos shipper
Felix Lueke GAAAASSSP HE DID?! I thought Carlos wasn't interested during these first few times and it's only later he had feelings back and then decided to act on it after his near d(spoilers) experience! (I'm only at the subway episode)
Sam Lueke I have this scene on my mind about Carlos and Cecil, but recently I was unsure whether it was canon or something from a fanfic. I was heartbroken and shaken at the thought that it might be just fanfic.... But I read your comment again and it is one more proof that that scene might have actually existed, so thanks. (I mean, sure, I can look around and look for that episode again, but I had decided to relisten to WtNV as I'm listening to Good Morning Night Vale, and I am sticking to it. It's just going slowly because school started haha)
My aunt showed me this series when she helped me house sit for my parents in 2017 or so and we laughed and laughed at all of the show's splendid wackiness. That night we listened to the first three episodes and she helped me realize I wanted to be an author. On July 4 2020 my aunt lost her battle with breast cancer. We had made a promise to each other to only listen to episodes together, so up until she died we'd only managed to listen to 10 or so given how rarely we got time to just goof off together living hours apart and her partner not really liking me for unrelated reasons that to this day are a mystery. After she died I found it really damn hard to come back to Night Vale, even for short visits. Every time I tried it felt like it was just another town where my aunt was dead and I didn't want to be there, where my aunt wasn't. It's been a few years so I've decided to give this another go from the start, and I know this one's gonna be hard like the others but if I listen closely enough I can almost hear her laughing with me. I can see her standing there by the dog park where dogs aren't allowed and she's smiling her wonderful smile and everything just might be okay if I try really hard. I'm working on my first novel now, so I know she's proud of me. Thanks, Night Vale. Thank you.
I know I'm late, but I saw some Tumblr posts about W.T.N.V. and figured, "Well I guess I could listen a bit." It has been two days and I'm absorbed into the fandom already.
this is just the first one ... and already there's helicopters dropping carcasses, a gay radio host, a dog park with hooded figures and an electric fence and much more... OK MAKES PERFECT SENSE!
I'm 12 minutes into the first episode and I'm sobbing. I genuinely don't think I was in the right mental state to listen to this. I'm going to listen to all of it!
I'm relistening to this with my mom because I just got the book at mom was wondering what it was about. Cecil started to describe Carlos and mom says "sounds like Benedict (cumberbatch)" lol
My friend made me listen through discord. I got addicted. I'm waiting for her to message me again to watch the rest. I'm relistening to the first 30. My life is disappearing. I only care about nightvale now. I am part of this fandom now. THIS IS ME NOW.
Here after Cecil made it to the 2023 Tumblr sexyman finals 😂 Which might not sound like much but it shows that this fandom is still going. We remember you, Night Vale!
Aw but where was our Cecil to narrate it? If we gotta live through Nightvale-ish events we should get to listen to Cecil tell us about them at least :)
(warns you about the potential ominous future) And now, the news. but seriously I'm just starting this today and I don't know what I'm getting myself into
My family would always listen to welcome to nightvale during car trips, especially late night ones. Today I remembered it exists and realized that I have the ability to listen to it by myself outside of car trips, so I am now doing just that!
*me listening to this the first time* Cecil: dogs are not allowed in the dog park. People are not allowed in the dog park. Me: well we just started and this has already got my attention on how weird this show is. What the crap..
The girl i have a crush on told me about how happy welcome to night vale makes her as one of the very first things shes ever told me about ive decided to and binge listen just to understand why its so special to her here comes no sleep
Me, before starting this, but fresh from the Magnus Archives: it'll probably take one or two seasons for the ship to become apparent 5 minutes in, Cecil Palmer: "And I fell in love instantly" Me: ... Nevermind
BASHASHASHAHSA SAME!!! Like I'm only here bc of the tumblr sexyman poll and i thought he would be some type of annoyed skeptic like jon and then 2 mins in he starts talking abt carlos's hair and how pretty he is 😭😭 went from slow burn to active arson!!
no, they homosexual main character would cause a huge problem. And it's purest in radio form, like how lots of books that have been made into movies are terrible movies that are just bad or have nothing to do with the books, or all of those video game movies.
+just plain_name Not everyone agrees with a lot of things, but they still go on TV. Your ignorant and narrow minded self is starting to get on my nerves. It is very difficult not to reply to you, and its wasting my, and your time, is it not? Goodbye, stranger. Have a nice day.
I have no god. I guess you could call me "savage" for roasting you like that. There is no god in the skies, dearie. I hope your "god" rots for what he has done to this world, child. Nature? It wasn't this world's to begin with. Your salvation is a lie, your world is about to crumble. Are you a girl or a boy do you mind me asking? Naughty children should be punished, you know.
As a Christian, those that argue against homosexuality are just plain stupid. The main message of Jesus Christ was to not be a dick to people and yet you hate life styles that you do not agree with. I wish people like you would just learn what Jesus stood for. Salvation, regardless of lifestyle, gender, or beliefs (well, there was that big one, that Jesus is the son of God, but that's it.) Even the worst murderers can repent. You should, as well.
But it's true. Scientists, by nature, ask questions, and seek answers. At one point, we too had that level of curiosity. We wondered why the sky is blue, we wondered about thunder, and we, of course, ask why we're here. Some of us never grew up from that childhood curiosity, and we call them scientists.
when i was a child this was the show that taught me that "gay" was a thing. my family has nothing against gay couples and my best friend has two moms. i just love that night vale taught me so many life lessons over the years. thank you so much, i will never forget you. and i will always watch the episode as soon as it comes out. Edit: years later and I just found out it continued after the wedding. also i continued after the wedding; im transmasc and unlabled queer. Thank you night vale.

It's funny seeing how people are so alarmed by this but I just finished episode 90 and am re-listening to it and it all seems perfectly normal to me. The only thing that's weird in my opinion is the lack of Cecil's fangirl side xD

I'm going to listen to all of it!
"Do not look at the hooded figures for any period of time"
If I was listening: "DAMNIT NOW I WANT TO"
Calmed my 11 month old puppy by throwing this on. Cecil's calming voice is universally effective.
If anyone else wants to listen to the bit where Cecil talks about the town hall and Carlos on repeat it starts at 5:00
Thank you :)
AAAH THIS IS THE MILITARY CEMETARY LINE
"Going feet first and whole into a slimey maw would give your life perfect symmetry."

it took me a hot second to get it (feet first into dark wet death, head first out of dark wet... life) and when i did i DIED
Yarnball the Moorbounder Holy f- I did not realize that
I'm relistening to this with my mom because I just got the book at mom was wondering what it was about. Cecil started to describe Carlos and mom says "sounds like Benedict (cumberbatch)" lol
wAIT-
Your mom's got great taste lol
"Look to the north. Keep looking; there's nothing coming from the south"
Winter is coming, guys. brace yourshelf!

Rook Talma yes, grabb yourshelf and brace it straight. They are great protection against winter. But only if you brace it!
I feel another obsession coming on...~
*laughs nervously*
Saaaame
yep
oh good, I'm not the only homestuck here
I like how they just expect you to know things. There's no exposition, because you're part of the story.
That's got to be one of the best descriptions I've heard for WTNV
Hello, people who don't look at me like I'm crazy when I try to describe Welcome to Night Vale to you. It's been an honor to finally meet you.
Also, I'm not new to the fandom, I'm just re-listening.
+Bianca di Angelo Tis' an honor to meet you too. XD
Yo sister
Bianca di Angelo OH MY GOD YOUR USERNAME KSJSKJSJSKSJS
My friend made me listen through discord.
I got addicted.
I'm waiting for her to message me again to watch the rest.
I'm relistening to the first 30.
My life is disappearing.
I only care about nightvale now.
I am part of this fandom now.
THIS IS ME NOW.
"And now, the weather."
(Music starts)
Ok...
No Name the weather is lovely today isn't it : )
@@dcatlovescreativity31 why yes it is 😉
Listen, the weathers the weather.
I think different music means different weather
Get used to it
Congratz to Cecil Palmer to have won TumblrSexyman 2023, well deserved win !
Here after Cecil made it to the 2023 Tumblr sexyman finals 😂 Which might not sound like much but it shows that this fandom is still going. We remember you, Night Vale!
2024 now and I’ve found a bunch of big nerds who lead me to this video.
2020 is a very Night Vale year, if you'll allow me to say so.
*cries in 2021*
Aw but where was our Cecil to narrate it? If we gotta live through Nightvale-ish events we should get to listen to Cecil tell us about them at least :)
I'm here because of the Tumblr Sexyman poll and I don't regret it, this is amazing
(warns you about the potential ominous future) And now, the news.
but seriously I'm just starting this today and I don't know what I'm getting myself into
+DisillusionStarFruit Sam3
me too but from what I've seen I like it's cross of Gravity Falls and Hitchhiker's Guide kind of humor
yeah
+DisillusionStarFruit TRICKSTER JANE EEEEEEEEE
+Jake English u will neva luv her you will luv Dirk Dave and John (& aradia)
"Blood on my hands but none on my soul" is such a line
My family would always listen to welcome to nightvale during car trips, especially late night ones. Today I remembered it exists and realized that I have the ability to listen to it by myself outside of car trips, so I am now doing just that!
**Listening for the second time**
2:04-2:42 **Smiles knowingly**
Squeeeeeee

Now they're married so...
chibiemoji back in 2013 I got into the fandom because of Parlie production I been listening since then
*me listening to this the first time*
Cecil: dogs are not allowed in the dog park. People are not allowed in the dog park.
Me: well we just started and this has already got my attention on how weird this show is. What the crap..
Same tho, I'm INTRIGUED
Here from the Tumblr Sexyman Poll of '23. I love to see my favorite radio man win.
Always knew something shady was going on at Arby's, never enjoyed the damn place.
the dogs ARE NOT allowed at the dog park
Kristen Van Houten Arby's has always been weird. It's like, not a normal place.
The girl i have a crush on told me about how happy welcome to night vale makes her as one of the very first things shes ever told me about ive decided to and binge listen just to understand why its so special to her here comes no sleep
holy shit you are an amazing person
You are a wonderful person I respect you soooooo much right now that was the awesomest thing I have ever heard
Charlezwashere1023 that is actually exactly how I found this
that is so sweet
THIS IS EXACTLY ME EXCEPT IM GONNA SPEND A WEEKEND
I want this to be a radio station in Fall Out
+Douglas Ost Someone better mod it.
+Douglas Ost oh my god yes
Cuz it's a desert town, it would work best with NV
OH MY GOD YES
YES!?
Me, before starting this, but fresh from the Magnus Archives: it'll probably take one or two seasons for the ship to become apparent
5 minutes in, Cecil Palmer: "And I fell in love instantly"
Me: ... Nevermind
Hi I have now listened to the first three episodes of Penumbra.
LMAOO THAT'S ALSO MY REACTION BUT I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE JON WAS STUBBORN AND WAS JOYFUL WHEN CECIL OPENLY SAID THAT HE WAS GAY FOR THE SCIENTIST
Me fresh from finishing Magnus to here: oh boy how’s this place getting fear fucked sounds like the stranger already
BASHASHASHAHSA SAME!!! Like I'm only here bc of the tumblr sexyman poll and i thought he would be some type of annoyed skeptic like jon and then 2 mins in he starts talking abt carlos's hair and how pretty he is 😭😭
went from slow burn to active arson!!
I KNOW, I'm fresh off of tma too, and my reaction was, "Well, that was quick."
Pilot episode and i already ship the narrator with Carlos
same
Isn't the narrator Cecil?
indeed
Yeah
Cecilos is real ❤
oh my god every other sentence out of this guy's mouth is "carlos perfect carlos-"
This should be a tv show. It could be like a new Twilight Zone.
no, they homosexual main character would cause a huge problem. And it's purest in radio form, like how lots of books that have been made into movies are terrible movies that are just bad or have nothing to do with the books, or all of those video game movies.
yes, what the guy above me said
+just plain_name Not everyone agrees with a lot of things, but they still go on TV. Your ignorant and narrow minded self is starting to get on my nerves. It is very difficult not to reply to you, and its wasting my, and your time, is it not? Goodbye, stranger. Have a nice day.
I have no god. I guess you could call me "savage" for roasting you like that.
There is no god in the skies, dearie. I hope your "god" rots for what he has done to this world, child.
Nature? It wasn't this world's to begin with. Your salvation is a lie, your world is about to crumble.
Are you a girl or a boy do you mind me asking? Naughty children should be punished, you know.
As a Christian, those that argue against homosexuality are just plain stupid. The main message of Jesus Christ was to not be a dick to people and yet you hate life styles that you do not agree with. I wish people like you would just learn what Jesus stood for. Salvation, regardless of lifestyle, gender, or beliefs (well, there was that big one, that Jesus is the son of God, but that's it.) Even the worst murderers can repent. You should, as well.
"Well, we were all scientists at one point."
Possible conspiracy theory in the making?
But it's true. Scientists, by nature, ask questions, and seek answers. At one point, we too had that level of curiosity. We wondered why the sky is blue, we wondered about thunder, and we, of course, ask why we're here. Some of us never grew up from that childhood curiosity, and we call them scientists.
Here I am at 3am finally listening to this after hearing about it so much. Sleep is for the weak.
I thought it was going to be different :( .... No sleep tonight.
+Damon Camarena plenty of time for sleep when you're dead.
+Damon Camarena you here cuz only leigh?
Ryanna Camarena SAMEEEE
Ryanna Camarena you only "pretend" to sleep
the dog cannot go inside the dog park
i died
Same. :o)
Sarah Barber HoNk :o)
I just now discovered this while looking though gravity fall / homestuck crossover that
*stuff
ekko26xile Glad to know I'm not the only one who's dead after that announcement.
when i was a child this was the show that taught me that "gay" was a thing. my family has nothing against gay couples and my best friend has two moms. i just love that night vale taught me so many life lessons over the years. thank you so much, i will never forget you. and i will always watch the episode as soon as it comes out.
Edit: years later and I just found out it continued after the wedding. also i continued after the wedding; im transmasc and unlabled queer. Thank you night vale.
i love you night vale.
Is this gay thing an ongoing joke? I dont quite understand. I love the podcast but it doesn't all make sense to me..?
he is not straight and what is wrong with that?
Not really, Cecil is just gay
“And now the weather.” *breaks into song*
New resident here, I'm very confused but I'll make my self at home.

Dogs are not allowed in the dog park. People are not allowed in the dog park.
Here after the Tumblr Sexyman rematch. I needed to know who was the man that beated Reigen and Sans.
I could honestly go to sleep listening to these but imagine the dreams you'd have. :/
I don't want to imagine. *Shudders*
I don't think my dreams would be very good...
***** You poor, poor child. Let us hope you are not secretly a seer of the future. I wish you well and don't die.
***** I am aware; it was a joke.
Autumn Jackson I listen to them most nights as I drift to sleep!
We were forced to listen to this for english class and I did not complain. This is so good
>A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale.
// Totally hooked.
It's funny seeing how people are so alarmed by this but I just finished episode 90 and am re-listening to it and it all seems perfectly normal to me. The only thing that's weird in my opinion is the lack of Cecil's fangirl side xD
hearing this is like starting a vacation in gravity falls xD
Ikr
yes
I demand a crossover
yeah that is pretty true
+Isabelle Tad Strange
I have no clue what’s going on, i just got here, and I’m listing to a strange man on a radio station simp over the new town scientist and I’m here for it
good to see some new people are still joining in, maybe one day the fandom can be revived
@@fauxclaws Revived? the fandom never died
