MAUREEN AND HAMILTON IN ONE PARAGRAPH MERRY CHRISTMAS ... "I DON'T EVEN LIKE BOYS"? CONFIRMED QUEER MAUREEN FTW!!! Also, it ain't her fault she faded in and out. I hope Maureen gets a happy ending.
+quiroz923 excuse me please leave unless you apologize for the damage you did I was trying my best to forget that the last couple of songs of act II existed and now I'm crying
- Non-binary Sheriff #confirmed - Lesbian (and/or ace/aro) Maureen #confirmed - What even is Hamilton without the death of the main character and the related ripping out of all our hearts? - Descriptivist Karim! You go, Karim!
Cecil, you best give Maureen those college credits!! Start working on writting that letter!! The fact that she survived your internship is reason enough to get 2 credits
+Johnny Jiang I always listen to it the first time i hear an episode - It helps to slowly get into the mood. But re-listening, it isn't as important :)
I mostly just don't know how to skip to the actual podcast so I just listen to him talk and try to enjoy it as best I can while feeling weird cause it reminds me that this was all in the past
RachelEmberLee I know right? It's like my own birthday present from Joseph Fink and that underworld doppelganger that secretly kidnapped Jeffrey Cranor and took his place in our world! I can hardly wait!
MoonSpider14 The problem with a holiday birthday is that you tend to get overshadowed. I know people born on Christmas and New Year's, and none of them like it.
William Bowles The thing is I never really paythat much attention to my own birthday anyway. I'm always too pumped about Halloween to even think about my birthday! :D When I say that I wish I was born on Halloween, it's only because the holiday resonates with me so much, and they're so close together to begin with.
It's it sad that when I'm lonely (which is often) I like to listen to Cecil talk about a place I'll never (physically) go to. I may not have friends but at least I have Night Vale.
Ariel honestly same. I got friends but I also got severe social anxiety so sometimes I can’t bear to talk to anyone for weeks but still feel a crippling loneliness, and Cecil honestly helps me through those times. Much love to fellow neurodivergent Nightvale listeners!
It makes me happy whenever we get to hear about Megan living happily as a full person 😃 also hearing Maureen is still alive!(cmon Cecil, she earned those credits)
Of course he does! There’s Janice and his sister, Dana, old woman Josie, Earl and Diane. Plus poor Hector who to be fair does not count as human anymore. He cares about their lives very much :) (I’d like to include Maureen in that but sometimes it’s hard to tell 😅)
for a split second at around 6:12 my heart almost stopped cuz i thougjt Cecil was gonna say "i want to get a divorce." but then he said beret and i was like "wait...they arent even married yet anyway." xD but still... Cecilos=OTP
Taging people as "unwanted" who are only trying to look for a better life in a different community? The forst step in so many hate crimes is to make the target easily identifiable. This episode is terrifying. You get so used to Cecil talking mundanely about horrifying things that dont exist but, whats really scary is hearing him talk mundanely about horrifying things that ALREADY exist. i am so not comfortabke with the point of view cecil and night vale seem to be taking on this one... But i guess thats the point. This is why i love this podcast.
Oh wow, Hank Green doing the intro! He's so much better than that Joseph Fink guy. The dream I had last Tuesday? *Checks dream journal.* Oh, I was at my aunt's house and we all ate crisps. Sounds like a good dream!
Well, it's either listen to this epicness or do more editing of my series of Undertale's Genocide Run... *stops everything and listens to Cecil's sultry tones*
Wait so way way back Hank Green recorded himself saying he is Joseph Fink. Now Joseph recrods himself saying he is Hank Green. It's the circle of life. And/or podcasts.
+1210Nique Oh, so it was you? Thank goodness. All I could remember about my dream from last Tuesday was that it involved someone I *seriously* wouldn't want to marry, and I was afraid the dream had been about marrying them. Well, congratulations. Who's the lucky partner?
The moment when you fell behind and just found out about the new Night Vale books: *grabs a chair* *shakes it around* *makes a chair pun* *slams the chair through the wall* *runs to the nearest bookstore to wait for the arrival of them*
They didn't get rid of his copies If you listen to the epilogue episode again *SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T READ THE BOOK* They just sent them all to the Barista district to be Baristas that randomly appear to give you coffee.
Bruh wait no because last Tuesday I had a dream where I was constantly trying to find this guy after he dropped his keys. He kept getting away from me, and I was on a skateboard constantly calling out at him. I don't even skateboard....
Ok the way i see it, there are 2 ways to interpret Cecil causing Monica to lose her job A) while accepting it as part of the Nightvale experience, he is actually pretty disgruntle about the whole 'being constantly surveiled thing' and this subtle name drop was a way to get some petty revenge Or B) hes a blabbermouth idiot. And the problem is that both are in chatacter. This man managed to manipilate the city Council into opening a door by weaving this fictional break-in story to help Janice, but also accidentally tipped-off Strexcorp about the rebellion. So which is it????
I really like how Cecil is careful now and says ''violet head'', instead of purple.
Me: *stops listening o Hamilton to listen to Night Vale*Night Vale: So... I listened to Hamilton...
literally same though!!!!!
SAAAAAAAMMMEEEE
Except this came out before hamilton...
So night vale predicted Hamilton
@@danramos6192 no, Hamilton premiered in the beginning of 2015 and this episode came out in the end of 2015
Cecil: I just ruined the life of a really important agent that's been working hard for years... Oooops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I smell a new book idea
i like to think that Cecil has fallen in love with every musical he has ever seen ever
Sally and monika used to listen to Cecil yell the song while basting it on full level while wearing a Barrie
Omg Cecil being a theatre nerd 😍😍
He's probably the only one who unironically likes the 2019 Cats movie
I think it's canon he was a theatre kid and I love that
I'd gladly watch musicals with him. For example a "Phantom of the opera" one
You could taste the Steve Carlsberg in that "OTHERS"
+khesed I was waiting for the irritated voice that would say, "Steve Carlsburg..." and I got "others" instead xD
I thought he would scream "STEVE CARLSBERG" so I had to cover my ears but then all I heard was "...others"
Jeffrey: "And now, big news about books. Am I going to announce a new Night Vale book?"
Me: "What?"
Jeffrey: "No. I'm not."
Me: "I thought so. I mean, they just released a Night Vale book, they wouldn't really release another one already--"
Jeffrey: "Because, instead, I'm announcing *THREE* new Night Vale books."
Me: (pauses video)
(stands up)

(gets a glass)

my thought process exactly

(takes glass from hand)
(sips some water)
(spit-take with you.)
William Bowles i
I went past this comment 3 times and only now realised you said Jeffrey and not Joseph... why would I think you'd said Joseph?
Give Maureen her credits Cecil she bloody earned them
me, getting late into the fandom: I want to go to all of these shows
sAME
samee
Big same, and the worst is that I don't live close to them anyway
@@fabianavalentino6304 same lol. i live thousands of miles away from the us, europe of australia :(
Same...
MAUREEN AND HAMILTON IN ONE PARAGRAPH
MERRY CHRISTMAS
...
"I DON'T EVEN LIKE BOYS"? CONFIRMED QUEER MAUREEN FTW!!!
Also, it ain't her fault she faded in and out. I hope Maureen gets a happy ending.
same honestly
it makes me so happy whenever someone calls violet "violet" instead of "purple"
Me, I trusted him. Me, I fought with him. Me, I died for him. Me, I loved him. And me... I'm the damn fool that got shot by him!
stop I cant handle crying over founding fathers omce again
um megan

- What even is Hamilton without the death of the main character and the related ripping out of all our hearts?
- Descriptivist Karim! You go, Karim!
&lesbian muslim girl
ok but why is nobody talking about how the new sheriff is nonbinaRY I'M DYING THX
tbh i was searching through the comments to see if somebody else noticed-
Tbh Cecil makes it sound so natural that I barely noticed. This makes me happy as a fellow nb~~~
Yes! It makes me so happy!!!
And Maureen is lesbian!
@@hannahlove2017 YAY ! REPRESENTATION IN NIGHT VALE !!!
Cecil, you best give Maureen those college credits!! Start working on writting that letter!! The fact that she survived your internship is reason enough to get 2 credits
am i the only one who doesnt skip the beginning with Joseph, something about his voice is so soothing
+Johnny Jiang I always listen to it the first time i hear an episode - It helps to slowly get into the mood. But re-listening, it isn't as important :)
I dont. I like knowing what's going on with the book and tours and stuff
I listen to the beginning because it contains funny content and information vital to feeding my geekiness.
I mostly just don't know how to skip to the actual podcast so I just listen to him talk and try to enjoy it as best I can while feeling weird cause it reminds me that this was all in the past
What Joseph? I heard only Hank Green
This episode's Traffic was..... A spiritual experience.
"I'm sure it will never come up again" yeah great. sure.
Cecil likes Hamilton and I am happy
I am happier
I'M HAPPIEST
"Because January is cursed"
Me (born Feb1): Wooo! Dodged that bullet, am I right? Februarians, high five! Januarians, my condolences.
+William Bowles You get Night Vale on your birthday xD
RachelEmberLee
I know right? It's like my own birthday present from Joseph Fink and that underworld doppelganger that secretly kidnapped Jeffrey Cranor and took his place in our world!
I can hardly wait!
I'm cool over here in November, but it is so early in the month that I want SOOO badly for my birthday to be Halloween. XD
MoonSpider14

You say potato, I say potato.
You say people, I say corpses-to-be.
Cecil: (stares at the boy wearing a baseball cap, who seems familiar) Do I know you?
Baseball cap boy: (sweats like an ex desert bluffs radio host)
It's it sad that when I'm lonely (which is often) I like to listen to Cecil talk about a place I'll never (physically) go to. I may not have friends but at least I have Night Vale.
me too wowie
Relatable
Mood
Ariel honestly same. I got friends but I also got severe social anxiety so sometimes I can’t bear to talk to anyone for weeks but still feel a crippling loneliness, and Cecil honestly helps me through those times. Much love to fellow neurodivergent Nightvale listeners!
Ha, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. And relatable.
Okay but is anyone gonna talk about how Cecil used singular they. I'm so happy.
in the night vale universe, if i remember right, there are canonical non-binary characters who use they/them pronouns and it makes me so happy!!
Cecil said it was almost 20 past the hour the second before my clock changed to 12:20.
I read this comment at 16:20
I read it at 9:47 Aww, :{|
+Natalie Herbertz 11:20 pm for me
+Natalie Herbertz it was 1330 hours for me
I screeched with joy when I herd Cecil talk about the Alexander Hamilton musical!!! I want to see it sooo bad!!!
4eyedgrey fish Same
It was good when it finally came to the UK :)
"January is cursed" I was born in January so...guess that explains a lot.
same

It makes me happy whenever we get to hear about Megan living happily as a full person 😃 also hearing Maureen is still alive!(cmon Cecil, she earned those credits)
Hamilton is awesome! Also, I wonder if Cecil will one day recognize the importance of other human lives that aren't Carlos' or himself.
Of course he does! There’s Janice and his sister, Dana, old woman Josie, Earl and Diane. Plus poor Hector who to be fair does not count as human anymore. He cares about their lives very much :)
(I’d like to include Maureen in that but sometimes it’s hard to tell 😅)
I absolutely love how Cecil dubs over quotes he gets from people- he puts so much emphasis and flair in, it's amazing-
Something about Night Vale always makes me question my existence and I'm not sure why I still like it so much
THAT HAMILTON REFERENCE THOUGH
for a split second at around 6:12 my heart almost stopped cuz i thougjt Cecil was gonna say "i want to get a divorce." but then he said beret and i was like "wait...they arent even married yet anyway." xD but still... Cecilos=OTP
I love that Sam uses the pronoun "they," and no one bats an eye.
More books!!!! *Pauses video to scream into the void* I'M SO EXCITED!
+Maggi R Beautiful weather segment too. :)
YES BOOOOOOOOOKS BOOOOOOOOOKS BOOKS BOOOOOOOOOKS AAAAAAAH (Inverts organs).
+Maggi R too truly scram into the void, visit screamintothevoid.com/
Maggi R just be careful, they may bite you!
I have a probably misplaced hope for the new intern's survival
The shadow of Desert Bluffs and Strex is making me nervous...
Not even Night Vale can escape Hamilton....
*i totally see Cecil being a huge Ham fan and getting Carlos caught up in the madness yes please ahhh*
The strangers are sounding more and more like weeping angels.
I almost choked on pizza when he mentioned Hamilton.
Estela P. I was doing the dishes and I almost broke a cup
Lmaoommee
I gasped and almost chocked on my burrito
As a queer linguist, I'm very happy about the non-binary sheriff, but even happier about Karim's insistance on the evolution of language. Atta boy.
The strangers are totally weeping angels. Gray faces, seem still but move without anyone seeing them move, terrifying
YES CECIL LIKES HAMILTON
IKRR
Because of course Cecil's into "Hamilton"
😂😂
I am 10 years late for all these live shows
good gosh that feeling you get after hearing some of the greatest fandom related news on the planet.
*hears that they painted a canvas blue in response* EVERYTHING IS BLUE
little rosy *puts tips of fingers together* *breathes deeply* da boo de da boo dye
Da ba dee da ba die
i thought this was a Halsey reference until i saw the comments

Me: *looks at clock* it's 3:16
Me: 😮
Cecil: It's almost 20 past the hour
Me: looks at clock it's 11:35
Me: :(
Basically Cecil at the beginning: hey want me to rebel against the government to make my life more fun?
lovely weather we're having
All-AI jury... That aged well.
It's 11:19 when Cecil looks straight through my computer into my soul and brings us to the weather
These always seem to end so quickly! :) (time flies when you're having fun) Nice proverb too!
Wow, the weather was really good this episode
lovely weather we're having, the song matches the storm perfectly
Wait so way way back Hank Green recorded himself saying he is Joseph Fink. Now Joseph recrods himself saying he is Hank Green. It's the circle of life. And/or podcasts.
WHAT THE HECK I JUST LISTENED TO THE HAMILTON ANIMATIC EARLIER I LOVE THIS SHOW
Non-binary sheriff is Non-binary and makes me happy
Sam is my cHild hOW DarE yOu
Okay fair
Yep, we all love them !
Btw, I see you under diverse podcasts I listen to !
I always love staying up waiting for the new episodes. It's literally been up for 2 minutes and it's always fun
Cecil is finally Hamiltrash
omg im not even joking, last week I had a dream that I was getting married. This is freaky. Even for night vale
+1210Nique Oh, so it was you? Thank goodness. All I could remember about my dream from last Tuesday was that it involved someone I *seriously* wouldn't want to marry, and I was afraid the dream had been about marrying them.
Well, congratulations. Who's the lucky partner?
***** Maybe we'd better be more careful how we listen to Night Vale in future....
Cecil likes Hamilton. I’m very happy right now!
This podcast always makes me happy :’) I love it!
Cecil talking about pfeffernusse cookies... i cant believe he knows about them :D
Probs got the recipe from Dr Seuss, sounds like something he would come up with
"It's a good thing that you're not into boys, because this one looks like bad. News."
Cecil, that might have been a cousin!
I'M SOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!! Welcome To Night Vale is my life!!
Is "Painting a canvas Entirely Blue" a reference to Brows Held High's "Blue" review where he himself also referenced nightvale?
The moment when you fell behind and just found out about the new Night Vale books:
*grabs a chair*
*shakes it around*
*makes a chair pun*
*slams the chair through the wall*
*runs to the nearest bookstore to wait for the arrival of them*
I just finished the first Night Vale book I got from Christmas 2015 and I'm catching up- UGH- NIGHT VALE WHY DO YOU MAKE SO MANY GOOD THINGS?
Going to assume Maureen is ace until canonically proven otherwise.
I'm just sayin'.
+Pearl Carol Isn't it kinda rude to assume someone's sexuality?
+abopfred she's a fictional character that doesn't exist. I'm sure she won't mind.

TBH
so wait, if January is cursed, then does that mean my birthday is also very much so cursed?
25:58 Omg I do dreamed about my crash last Tuesday (since that was the last night I had a propert sleep), thank you Cecil :)
We Stan Sam, the Mom binary sheriff. I love them omg, brilliant dancer
Beautiful weather, I loved it.
Well as long as my right foot doesn't worship a smiling god then I'm good. I can't force my religion on it. But the smiling god will not be tolerated.
Merry Christmas!
3 NEW BOOKS .... 3 IM DYING !!
So glad to hear that Megan's doing okay lmao
the clash reference in the beginning was a nice touch
Listening to the parts about AI in 2023 hits different now that it's everywhere
wait, Cecil is listening to 'Alexander Hamilton'? i've never been this shook in my life
So hyped for the new books and everything!!! I loved the first one I bet I'll love these!
It was literally 8:18 when Cecil announced the weather! I am uncertain about everything now.
+ForsakenDread It was right at 11:20 for me, a fun coincidence!
loving the actuality of the plot
Come on, Cecil, give Maureen her credits.
... "I don't even like boys" xD
I am in love with this weather.
Will start again six days before my birthday it's going to be like an amazing present
watching it the day before its released.
WTNV fans: man, the strexcorp arc was so political, i don't know how they'll ever top that.
Fink and Cranor with this new plot line: lmao hold my beer
So I was born in a cursed month. great
lol That version of Hamilton would be wild. I hope Philip ddin't die in that version
Troy is back again! I thought that they got rid of all of his copies though? There is a cornucopia of people mentioned in this episode, I love it!
They didn't get rid of his copies
If you listen to the epilogue episode again
*SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T READ THE BOOK*
They just sent them all to the Barista district to be Baristas that randomly appear to give you coffee.
Also 15:43 "You are still." Too bad Cecil, I can't sit still
Awww man, intern Maureen doesn't like boys? And she sounded so awesome. Darn my lack of fictional love!
Maureen will never see those college credits, will she?
Bruh wait no because last Tuesday I had a dream where I was constantly trying to find this guy after he dropped his keys. He kept getting away from me, and I was on a skateboard constantly calling out at him. I don't even skateboard....
Oh Cecil, you beautiful blessing and menace to the people around you
Ok the way i see it, there are 2 ways to interpret Cecil causing Monica to lose her job
A) while accepting it as part of the Nightvale experience, he is actually pretty disgruntle about the whole 'being constantly surveiled thing' and this subtle name drop was a way to get some petty revenge
Or B) hes a blabbermouth idiot.
And the problem is that both are in chatacter. This man managed to manipilate the city Council into opening a door by weaving this fictional break-in story to help Janice, but also accidentally tipped-off Strexcorp about the rebellion. So which is it????
