oh, have I got some GREAT news for you!

My roommate and I both listen to the podcast and we're wondering... What is the Apache Tracker saying in this episode?

I must know these secrets!

It sounded Russian to me, as someone who only has an idea about Russian via video games and movies.

Various news:

We were featured on the Daily Dot: http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/welcome-to-night-vale-podcast/

Cecil and I will be interviewed on East Village Radio tomorrow at 11am: http://www.eastvillageradio.com/

Also Jeffrey and I were interviewed for the podcast Beginnings this week. I'll let you know when that will be going up. I think it will be in a couple weeks.

And I'm still teaching two podcasting classes this summer, one starting on June 29 and the other on July 23: https://3rdward.com/class/podcasting/1640#/section/5897

Paraphrasing moments of genius

Some of the fan illustrations of "Cecil" are bothering me. I never really had much of an image of what he looks like, in my head, until I saw the actual Cecil in that YouTube video for the live show. Those illustrations look nothing like him.

Well, the fan art versions of Kevin are even less accurate than Cecil. http://www.kevinrfree.com

Eh, I don't mind how people depict characters when they exist as a voice in a podcast, or are described by a voice in a podcast.

Woe be to those who cannot do justice to the perfection of Carlos, though. :toughguy:

It was interesting how everyone was drawing Carlos as white until the first person put it together that someone named Carlos who was living in the Southwest probably wasn't and drew him that way. Then it shifted and I haven't seen a white version of Carlos since.

Ahahaha Kevin in my head was this chubby, rosy-cheeked guy with curly hair, but sinister, like a grown-up horror movie creepy kid.


I think I like real Kevin better.

To me, Cecil was always shaved bald, thick rim black glasses, and a really circular face. Somewhere between the Dean from Community and and John Waters. I do really like the general "fan" take on him though.

Carlos, as always, is perfect

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

It did not occur to me until just now that I had always imagined Cecil as looking like a gaunt version of Kevin, and I have no idea why. I will probably continue to imagine him this way, even though I know it's wrong.

What does Cecil really look like? I always imagined him as a Rod Serling type.

Ok yeah, that looks similar to what I expected. Less hair and more mustache, but other than that I can see it.

Get bashed, platonist!

I always imagined Cecil as a silhouette against a purple background, conveying his emotion through body language and the crescent moon shaped glint in his eye showing how his eyelids are positioned. I imagined Kevin the same way, except for one detail. No light reflected from the eyes, ever. Even when he's looking straight at a window, nothing.

One thing that comes across in a lot of fanart of Cecil is that he looks absolutely exhausted, with dark bags under his eyes. I think it really fits the way he sounds.


The last episode (25) was particularly fantastic, by the way. Really touching. I hope this doesn't portend to Terrible Things happening to Carlos and his beautiful, perfect hair... :ohdear:

Perky, sure, but with some underlying weariness. Like my dad on a long drive trying to keep the mood cheerful, but if he runs into traffic then the veneer slips (that is, when Cecil starts laying into Steve or the Apache Tracker). Cheerfulness as a coping mechanism, perhaps, since so many horrible things happen in Night Vale - not to mention Cecil's own run-ins with re-education.

His recent near-death experience seems to have left him with a new outlook on it all, though.

I always imagined Carlos as a Hispanic dude that's hugely swole. His hair is a perfectly poofy pompadour that's really shiny.

I always though of him as just some dude. Hispanic, pretty nice black hair, 150 pounds, medium build, etc. Cecil probably just describes him as so amazing because of how infatuated he is.
