ngl i think part of why welcome to night vale and discworld both appeal to me so much is that im a slut for things that draw you in with goofy ridiculous humour and then with no warning slam you over the head with chunks of philosophy shit that gives you a fucking existential crisis for like 2 minutes and then diffuses the tension with a stupid pun

thinking about how welcome to night vale does horror. the three scariest things this show (one that is, on the surface, surreal and creepy) has ever put forth are always in the form of something small. a wrong smile, representing the commodification of the body and the self. the terror of becoming lost without ever actually leaving, unmade without dying. and of making a selfish wrong choice and never even having to face consequences beyond the yoke of knowledge of what you’ve done. night vale is a testament to how we are here to make each other’s lives better; we face a world that is confusing and dangerous and impossible to understand in its entirety and we bear it by finding love and family and community. by building those things. the scariest possible outcome is not to be devoured by a cosmic horror. it is to be isolated. it is to face terror alone.

Night Vale quotes, Day 5

Gah I wish I was faster so I could polish the things I sketch daily, this one would look really good if it were clean I think e _ e

[id: a drawing with a ribbon wrapping around several catlike creatures with multiple eyes.  The drawing is in various shades of purple.  The ribbon reads: “But listen: no pet is perfect.  It becomes perfect when you learn to accept it for what it is.”  Also, two of the cats have starry fur, and one is upside down.  /end id]
