The internet is really good at speaking in extremes. Someone is either the G.O.A.T. or someone is trash. Someone is the internet’s boyfriend, or the internet’s villain. And there’s very little gray space, where people come to the dais of the public square. It is only kind of for one of those extreme reasons. They are the greatest of all time, we worship them, or they’re the worst thing ever, let’s mock them, at a time when they could probably use a helping hand, not mockery.

So I just read something that claimed episode 250 of welcome to night vale was the finale? I’ve listen to the other 249 episodes so I desperately need to know. We’re they talking about the Finale to the Mother Lauren arc or the finale to the whole fucking show?

Carlos' Speech - Condos

[twerlint]

sometimes i remember that Dylan Marron was considered for Mr. Cutter and sometimes I think about

"Carlos the Scientist

Carlos the Director of Communications for Goddard Futuristics"

I'm listening to "the redemption of Jar Jar Binks," Dylan Marron's new podcast, and Ahmed Best is talking about how Liam Neeson supported him when he had ideas on set and soothed his imposter syndrome as a young actor. It's so sweet and so interesting to listen to!

Dylan has always been a great interviewer and he's really devoting a lot of time and attention to the whole story of Ahmed Best, not just the terrible treatment he had later.

I’ve been having trouble getting into the right headspace for more deep dives into fandom and analysis. Also finding myself having difficulty channeling the persona of this account, tending to be easily annoyed, being snippy and falling back on reflexive acidity when encountering the sort of shallow, histrionic, performative commentary that I strive to avoid and, in some cases, try to dissect.

Someone who is consistently good at this is Dylan Marron. And in this podcast series he’s tackling the granddaddy of all online hate campaigns. His resurrection of the late 90s internet landscape and the collective feelings of those of us responsible for perpetuating this is eerie (why yes, I did happen to be just old enough to be a snot nosed teen brat too cool to be entertained by Jar Jar and slamming my outrage into the keyboard.) And the commentary on medium as message and the incentives to be over the top is superb.

Episode 202: Dylan Marron

In Episode 202, “Dylan Marron,” Elizabeth and Flourish talk to the creator and host of the new (and very fandomy!) podcast, The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks. They discuss the threads of his career that influenced the project—including his early encounters with fandom as part of the Welcome to Night Vale cast and his viral video series on racism in film, Every Single Word—and talk through the many layers of Jar Jar, which details what happened when some Star Wars fans on the early internet declared war on Jar Jar Binks—and destroyed the life of the man who played him.

Remember to vote for our tumblr sexyman and his hero husband! Cecil and Carlos met in 2012, got together in pride month 2013, got married in 2016, and then had their child Esteban! They are such an iconic queer couple, groundbreaking, and an inspiration to other queer people wanting to make podcasts.

They proved that there was a major market for queer people making podcasts about ourselves and our queer experiences! These goofy boys have never been queerbaiting, never had to hide being gay, aren’t the only queer people in the podcast, and are main characters!

I have so much love for these wonderful guys and they absolutely deserve your love and support! Thank you so much for reading and for those voting for our sweet boys!
