#welcome to nightvale quotes
EVERYONE READ CECIL'S MEDIA CORNER IN WTNV 200 BC I LOVE IT
"What media is not for is teaching us anything new, or exposing us to novel forms of thought, or showing us how it is to live as a different type of person. And you know why it’s not for that? Because of the children.
Won’t you think of the children? What if they see something that they, literal children, don’t immediately understand? What if any aspect of our cultural stories isn’t instantly graspable by actual children? How would I explain that to them? By sitting down? In the same room as them? And talking to them about it? Ugh. No. Ugh.
It’s just better and easier if we make all of our media only fit what a five-year-old child who has never been exposed to anything outside of his immediate neighborhood will understand instantly and without further explanation. It’s called decency. Look it up. In a dictionary. Which is a book full of words I don’t understand and refuse to learn."

I told the creators of Welcome to Night Vale about the sexyman poll.
im taking a narrative podcast production course, and we had joseph fink and jeffery cranor come speak to the class over zoom
as the final question of our Very Serious QA panel, i told them about the tumblr sexyman poll, with hundreds of thousands of votes, and that cecil still won a decade later. i asked if the power of creating The Sexiest Fictional Man was something that could go to their heads. they couldnt stop laughing.
joseph gave a long spiel about how grateful he is for the impact Night Vale had — he told a story about seeing a fictional flights board in an airport and that it felt so strange to see Night Vale up there. he was super humble and said that Night Vale ‘belongs to the fans’ and takes no ownership of Sexy Creationism.
then jeffery comes in like ‘yeah, what he said, but personally i think it does go to my head’ and giggled and said “It feels pretty awesome.”

Cecil: So I know we’ve always had this unspoken rivalry...
Kevin: It’s not a rivalry, you just hate me.
Cecil: ...
Kevin: And it’s not unspoken, you talk about it all the time.

Kevin: Coming right up.

Daisy: I'm ALLERGIC.
Tim: Made you all playlists!
Tim: Gerry, yours has only heavy metal, and is dark like your soul.

Sasha: Kevin and I were crossing the street, and this man drove by and honked at us.

Skin't Tom: Today's show is sponsored by Knife. Skin't Tom: Need to cut a thing? Use Knife! Need to poke a hole in another thing? Try using Knife. Skin't Tom: Have one thing and want it to become two or more smaller things? You could try Saw. Saw sometimes works. Skin't Tom: But other times, you need Knife!

"The living tell the dying not to leave, and the dying do not listen. The dying tell us not to be sad for them, and we do not listen. The dialogue between the living and the dead is full of misunderstanding and silence."
