i said it in the tags of another post but among all the talk of how wtnv revolutionized queer media - which they did - i feel like we're neglecting to mention that night vale changed podcasting as a medium. fiction podcasts as we know them now straight up did not exist before cranor and fink got their start. nonfiction pods were very much a thing, but the only pre-night vale fiction podcasts i can name offhand the leviathan chronicles, metamor city, and we're alive. and if you go back and listen to them, they are a lot less like the format we know now (usually diagetic recordings) and were basically just fully acted audio books. and they were good! the leviathan chronicles is a personal favorite. but podcasts as truly immersive fiction? that's night vale, all the way. the fact that they tend to favor horror? also night vale. the fact that you can't swing a cat without hitting some form of queer in just about any successful show? bingo.

i just think that we don't give them the credit they deserve for being the fucking blueprint.

"Everybody blames Marc for the whole thing, people forget that Valentino started it, you know. Marc is Marc, we've watched him do that [aggressive riding] all through his racing and then Valentino started a war of words. You know, they were all friends friends and all the rest of it and then Valentino started something and then Marc retaliated because he didn't like it and then of course everybody blows up about that, forgetting that Valentino went and poked the bear, if somebody rides aggressively and you know that they're capable of that, don't go and think you're above them to scare them out of it, you're not gonna scare someone like Marc Márquez out of it. So, all he's done, during a championship year that he could have potentially won again, is literally poke the worst rider on the grid to poke- someone that can beat you, someone that's faster than you and someone that can potentially take you out of a race or championship. [...] I do not know why people create feuds with people than can literally go clean them out and then you go and try to create blame for someone and it's like... you just needed to keep your cool a little bit more in that situation and it's hard but when you're old enough you should know better."

I’ve said this before but if Cecil Gershwin Palmer met Jonathan Sims he’d beat the ever loving shit out of him on sight and Jon wouldn’t stand a chance

I know I'm very late for Jimin's bday post (and it's still not ready yet😭) but life has been difficult lately and I couldn't find the time to gif :(

since taylor released this is me trying I made my personal goal to make it my entire personality

[vale-ocs-roleplay]

I thought about it a lot before making this post, partly because I don't want to justify myself, partly because I don't think you care so much.

But there are a lot of people here, artists and non-artists, who really deserve so much affection and admiration.

Lately I'm not well, I usually manage to overcome it, but this time it's harder than expected. I've disappeared from here, as honestly from online social life in general. The truth is that I don't want to be on my phone, I'm honest. I can't commit myself to anything but the few things that occasionally catch my attention.

That said... I realize that I lose so much of what you do, of the beautiful, interesting things that you all manage to create.

I'm sorry, I'm not ignoring you because I want to. Know that even if I don't show up, you always have my full support and ammiration.

Love you
