As Welcome to Night Vale is gaining another burst of popularity, I do wish to send out a warning to people who are very sensitive to psychotic episodes: be careful if you want to listen to it
If you’re the type of person who has #unreality blacklisted, don’t listen to too many episodes in a row/maybe avoid it all together?
Stay safe <3
Night Vale had some of the BEST one off quotes that would just suckerpunch you in the chest leave you breathless
Like the one that stuck with me was this one:
“when a person dies and no one will miss them, the mourning is assigned to a random human. This is why sometimes you just feel sad.”
It’s been almost 11 years… It haunts me in a good way
Know what? Tell me YOUR favorite WTNV quote. I wanna know what lingers in people’s minds after all this time
“Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?”
“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present.”
“Death is only the end of you assume the story is about you”
“There is a thin semantic line separating weird and beautiful, and that line is covered in jellyfish”
“Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. That’s what love is.”
from one of the books:
“Nothing there but a distant airplane crawling across the sky, red blinking lights, vulnerable in the vast empty, faint red beacons flashing the message HELLO. A SMALL ISLAND OF LIFE UP HERE, VERY CLOSE TO SPACE. PRAY FOR US. PRAY FOR US.”
I haven’t seen two of my favorites so I’m going to include them:
“Your Existence is not impossible, but it’s also not very likely” (The Phone Call)
“And this is our town! And it is terrible. But it is ours, and we… we are fighting for it!” (Old Oak Doors B)
I have this one on my wall:
“Do not be defined by how you can die, but by how you can live.”
This has been a word from our sponsors.
I hate seeing the acronym iwtv (interview with the vampire) because my dumbass podcast obsessed brain goes ielcome wto. The Vale
Thats it.
Thats the show.
If you don’t know if you want to get into Welcome To Night Vale, listen to this clip, it does a perfect job of summing up the entire experience.
this is quite legitimately one of my favorite things that’s happened in the entire show.
If you haven’t listened to Night Vale yet, take 50 seconds to consider it. Please.
Cecil, in a serious and grave tone: “Old Woman Josie has not called, but, intern Dana said that Josie updated her Facebook page with an Instagram of some rune stones. Dana has been furiously translating these symbols and her best guess is that they say
‘They come in twos.
You and come in twos.
You and You.
Kill your double.’
Cecil, continuing in a tone most people use to talk about cute cats: “There’s also a link to this amazing cat that keeps jumping in and out of boxes! And oh my god that is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Dana! You have got to post that on my wall. Oh my god, he loves those boxes so much!”
when welcome to night vale said: “Sleep heavily and know that I am here with you. The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together you and I.”
