i love how podcast fandoms have a way of producing fifty million versions of the same character’s appearance and yet you know exactly which character it is every time
especially when there’s practically no canonical description of the character in question
i may not know what cecil “the voice of night vale” gershwin palmer or jonathan “the archivist” sims look like but i sure can tell them apart at a glance
This is a really interesting parallel to art of deities in classical civs (I don’t remember this lecture super well, but I’m trying!) Basically, you could tell which deity the artist was depicting not based on their features, but by their iconography: Artemis would be depicted with a bow, or dogs, or deer, so that you could tell it was her. I’m pretty sure the same concept is in action here! Different characters are depicted with different color palettes and motifs (such as eyes and tape recorders) so that you can tell who it is.
I just think that’s really cool.
Yeah, this. Like I’m not even very far into tma but I still know that it’s

“And now, the weather. There’s a winter storm coming in, and it’s going to be a doozy- no snow, this time. It’s just 100% hail, accompanied by a dense layer of fog that’s going to make driving more dangerous than usual. Everyone is recommended to stay inside, or at least go out with a warm parka and a sheet metal umbrella.
That’s it for the weather today- apologies for the unusual format, by the way. Just to summarize, the weather is going to be: All hail; thick, low cloud.”
The list of large cardinals properties from mathematics sounds like a hierarchy of bishops in a welcome to nightvale version of the Catholic Church. Here is an edited highlight to read to yourself in
Cecil Baldwin’s voice.
Small Cardinals
Worldly Cardinals
Inaccessible Cardinals
Reflecting Cardinals
Totally Indescribable Cardinals.
Shrewd Cardinals
Ethereal Cardinals
Subtle Cardinals
Almost Ineffable, Ineffable and Totally Ineffable Cardinals
Remarkable Cardinals
Strong Cardinals
Tall Cardinals
Super Strong Cardinals

The radio slips, sometimes, into a language Carlos doesn’t speak.
He tells himself he doesn’t speak it, anyway, and… well, it’s true enough. He couldn’t translate into this language. He doesn’t even know what it’s called. And the understanding that filters into his mind sometimes—more and more, lately—it’s just his imagination.
“A new man came into town today,” and that’s the last English Carlos hears for several minutes. He tells himself that the warm sense of being flattered, the words perfect and beautiful echoing in his mind, are nothing. His imagination.
After all, the segment ends—in English, again—with the darkly threatening, No one does a slice like Big Rico’s. No one. Surely there’s no room for flattery between those lines.
