Gasp! A homestuck!

@@carlinkag2525 I know, right? Out in the open, in 2023? Must have gotten lost from the herd! xD

@@maximilliontimes816 Good on you for being out in the open! I'm a bit more undercover myself, I work at a fancy shmancy international company but all my company passwords are just my favorite homestuck ship names combined with various typing quirks🤭

@@carlinkag2525 Hahaha, nice! A silent manifestation. That's totally valid!

Good job on catching up

I reckon you'll get the jist of it, after all, today is the day of reckoning

There’s no better way to learn the language! If it makes you feel better, I’m a native English speaker and still don’t understand a lot of the language used until I look it up. You should be very proud of your proficiency

There are transcrips of the episode posted online. If you want to, you could try to google translate them.

the best way to learn a language is with things you love. I recommend to check the transcript (you can find the link in the description). that way when you listen and read at the same time and it makes it easier to both understand the story and learn english. good luck!! 💜

The world needs more Kevin please I would love that

i want you to know how hard that made me laugh, i wheezed lmaoo. i love the image of Kevin just willfully keeping up his persona of being strange and offputting by just casually being in Cecil's station crawlspace

why bother commenting then? also it's not meant to be scary, really it's meant to be surreal, paranormal, and funny I don't know many people who would call this a horror podcast because that's not really what they're going for

Then... why are you here? Why did you keep listening after episode 30? And how did you listen to so much and somehow still think its supposed to be scary in an "ahhh! Spooky!" Way and not the "Why is all this weird shit treated as normal. What the fuck." Kinda way it actually is.

@@doriangrayshusband549 at first it was very eery and creepy, I remember watching the first episode with a friend in Middle School and he was too scared to finish it. After a few episodes it settled into its social commentary pretty well, but it stayed spooky for a while, that was just part of the show's aesthetic. It's gotten lighter over time, and the commentary has kind of taken a backseat to whatever the writers feel like doing. I do think this is a detriment to the show, it's less naturally funny, and they do way too many non-radio show episodes, it makes me feel like they're really running out of ideas. If I knew they'd do that bit again and again, I wouldn't have enjoyed The September Monologues nearly as much as I did, which was still less than a regular episode at the time. I honestly think Night Vale should've ended with the Wedding episode, or maybe a few dozen episodes before that. Around the 50s-60s is when I really noticed the drop-off, though, it's almost insultingly bad for a while. BRINY DEPTHS legitimately got me mad when I first heard it, it's almost self-parody at that point. There were still good episodes fairly frequently, though, which is why I think episode 100, Toast, would've made a solid finale. I'm Sure if it ended there, most fans would've been fine with it, the show was past its prime but it would've still managed to keep it together in the end. It's gotten a bit better now, it isn't insulting, but it's way blander than at its peak. But hey, make 200 episodes of something, you'll have a few duds in the pile, the fact they managed to keep it not only good, but arguably consistently the best podcast online for over a year is already impressive.

It's had it's ups and downs. I'm still a fan but definitely some episodes or archs I didn't love. Some are so thoughtfully deep. Others are just weird to be weird. I do miss the ominous vibe in the beginning. Mirrors and places and people being lost, whispers in the dark, barks ennui. Good old fashioned blood stone and the spire.

Why are you even watching it then? You do realize that not listening to this podcast is an option, right?
