Kevin Of Desert Bluffs!
Ya know he's bastard when with Strex Corp but I though he was pretty nice in Sandstorm 19A and 19B, he sounded it and probably acted it.
why's everyone assuming Kevin and baby Kevin cant exist at the same time I hope baby Kevin rolls up to old Kevin and old Kevin is like "Huh, thats a hell of a thing"
huge sucker for Kevin Desert Bluffs and Violet head of Hiram McDaniels angst
if you know any good fics please tell me, I need stuff to read 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Kevin and Kevin, but little one
Let me dream abt better outcome
I love watching how people interpret Cecil’s and Kevin's relationship in different ways.
Personally, I see that Cecil is not afraid of Kevin, he is afraid of Kevin's fate. If it hadn't been for a happy coincidence, Cecil would have been in his place. He is afraid of Kevin's situation and he sincerely feels sorry for him
Wtnv ep244 spoiler? idk
Thats how I ± see this scene
Short preface:
I like to learn different sorts of new things about medicine and how interesting diseases or injuries can be. And one day I came across a post about melanin and cancer. Melanoma can appear on skin or on any mucous membrane. Even in eyes. An eye cancer called eye melanoma. A tumor originating in one particular part of the eye, in the absence of any action, completely affects the eyeball, causing it to turn black. And this type of disease reminded me of Kevin!
So I present you my headcanon: Kevin's eye melanoma.
(In addition, if we imagine that in such an extreme stage of infection, Kevin miraculously remains alive (and unknown in any way to science can see). So: he may also has a mild form of exaphthalmia (bug-eyed), lack of peripheral vision and bad vision in general)
Bonus:
Small fast sketch bc why not. (Sorry for my bad handwriting lol)
Welcome to Night Vale has been living in my head for basically my entire life (elementary school. Explodes.) anyways I relapsed for the 50th time, heres what the major freaks look like in my brain
Also episode 51 doodle because what the fuck. And Cecil on my microbiology
My slow ass wanted to draw Kevin, and did it
Love him (platonically)
Guys, let's believe that Kevin has an ace up his sleeve and he didn't just fall at the number 12 bus stop
hey btw, here my interpretation of ep249 (or at least how my skill see it) Lets remember that shes now more purplish(?) than her in first blood-gold clothes
i was a bit traumatized by this ep tho (yeah. a bit late, but i had some important things to do sorry)
and. ta-da. my rambles. only them and no more bc no one of my friends knows a thing abt wtnv and current eps
somewhere in the corner, three of my many sides are flexing, each for its own reason. 1st one hopes for a post-Kevin au (to be at least half-real), where Kevin at least refuses the smiling God and opens his eyes (lol) to what is happening and it dawns on him and he gets a little better, but still traumatized. 2nd side is flexing because, like.., well.... Kevin stopped smiling, the Prophet himself(!!!), even for a while, but renounced the main commandment of his God. Where has this been seen? and if it not that, if he doesnt want to save Night Vale from adversity, then at least deal with the reflection of his other ver. past (and spit at Mother Lauren, but this is from mymself back though. optional action) And my 3rd side is flexing from just Kevin. Yeah. Like, my type of fictional characters are miserable poor characters with a difficult traumatizing past. those ones, when in the end it is no longer the character himself who suffers from their past, but their fans. I want to hug suchcharacters, light kiss (platonicaly) them on the forehead, and sit next to this poor thing (yes, I know they will kill me, but everyone has their own flaws, I forgive em) So, we saw Kevin again, not even after an eternity, but only a couple of episodes. My pants are full of happiness. and then the eyes are full of tears. Kevin is clearly up to something, he is clearly serious in his intentions, he knows what he is doing And Cecil is still a brainwashed moron, but hes allowed, he's Cecil
abuse mention warning! if you're bad triggered by abuse mention and cant stand statements abt post victims abuse. then please ignore this post.
you've been warned
little sketch to not just there to exist my river of consious I see that many people perceive the conclusion of the arc as wrong because of Kevin's words about his father. That he wants to be better than his father, but quotes him and forgives him. And I didn't see the conclusion otherwise. lets talk abt this
"Can a victim of abuse say something like that?" Yes. They can and will say. We all see only a way where the victim of abuse becomes a healthy unit of society and doesnt repeat the mistakes of the past But these are rather exceptional cases that we always want to see. Most of the victims become tyrants themselves, without even knowing it. The desire to be better alone and therapy is not enough, the victim of abuse, whether they want to or not, will accept the habits of their abuser, especially if they spend enough time with them. Stockholm syndrome has not spared anyone as much as you whitewash characters whose synonym for their name is "trauma"
Who will a child grow up to be in an abusive family? An abuser. Kevin was brainwashed into total Stockholm syndrome and forgave his father. That's it. As much as I would like to have a different outcome, Kevin will not be a good father. This is a terrible, morally disfigured cruel character from childhood. How can he be a good father? When was the last time we heard about Donovan on a podcast? And about Charles? When Cecil, in the gaps between the news, manages to cram essay on the topic of products, mentioning how much he loves his son, his creativity, behavior, as well as his husband. And most often it's all one episode, which shows how involved he is in the family, how much he appreciates it, then Kevin… It's as if he exists in a vacuum from it. Whether he is so punctual, or idk. Remember the arc with mudstone abyss. How did Kevin feel about Charles' son? He disliked him so much, he couldn't accept his existence, that he began to doubt his relationship with Charles when he put him in front of a choice. It was only after the boy solved the problem with mudstone abyss that he decided to give him a chance to accept. Chance. We can only guess how things went further. But given Kevin's nature, his ways of solving problems, his problems in principle, I don't believe that their family is equivalent to Cecil's family. Naturally, I also want to believe that Charles is teaching him to be a good and accepting parent, that their life is beautiful in its own way, but it sounds too beautiful and unrealistic to me. sorry
The victims of abuse (in any relationship) will never come out healthy, and they will not be healthy anymore. Abuse is cyclical and not many people manage to get out of it, and even then not completely
Do you think that Kevin, who survived the abuse, will just let himself go from the past (but already in the present) and will not try to start from the beginning, but under his own supervision? I think their relationship is going to be kind of weird, but I believe in their existence. I don't think he needs to mention strexcorp every time he says something out of the ordinary. I didn't see any other outcome.
And Kevin himself?. Well, I love Kevin, I'm so happy at every au where he's mentioned. I like to joke about his silly nature, I want to hug him, my comfort character (even after such statements) and etc. But I see this character far beyond that. I see him as a person who has gone through a lot of terrible things and is still going through these terrible things. This is a brainwashed person, a victim of abuse, who is an abuser himself. This is a cruel person who goes to his goal, who sees his path as exceptionally correct and does not consider other outcomes of events. He will grow his little self up to be like himself, as any other person would do if they had a chance
I'm okay with the end of the arc, because I can't imagine a picture where Kevin just lets go of the past, where Kevin abruptly realizes all his mistakes, where Kevin will change his worldview, where Kevin won't want to repeat, but on his own behalf The character of black and gray morality moves forward, seeing only one path in front of him, and that is already trodden before him
In conclusion. I liked the arc, again, I liked the end, again, but I think it's too fast. this arc could be made as long as the arch with the university what it is, even longer. Where were we in a hurry? there was so much potential here, but like hh (pls forgive me for such analogy), we were shown only plot episodes and a very fast crumpled end. The end is fire, the way to this end is so-so let's hope that the authors will no longer mention so directly and unilaterally such conflicting topics as "family abuse"
Maybe my thoughts are not quite right, but everyone have their own pov and thats okay
You know what. Let's talk about how we could have made the arc better
do not put it at the end of the season. this arc just seems to be asking for a long format, at least from the previous one with the university what it is. even longer. this arc holds the potential for revealing side characters, which we are already being told so little, but it was missed
Fillers. both plot and secondary ones. Fillers have always been an integral part of immersion in the world of fiction. After Cecil was knocked out of the narrative due to his brainwashing, it has a good effect on revealing others. but about them in more detail 2.1 filler about Carlos. Let's remember Carlos this is an indirect walking problem, it was from his laboratory that Mother Lauren got out, it was from his laboratory that Kevin came out, it was in his laboratory that the two Kevins met. Carlos feeds himself with false hopes to study dow, and bc of this hope, indirectly, the problems have acquired such a scale in such a short time. Show how Carlos reacts to this, maybe he feels guilty, or maybe he ignores it in every possible way. He cares about his brainwashed husband, or dow is more important again? Show this pls 2.2 filler about the boy. If he gave up his own beliefs so easily in the end, then show me why. For example, the first thought. After the victory over Kevin and a moment of euphoria, thinking again about his adult version, he didnt feel the very contentment he wanted, but only contradictory feelings that he does not want to accept. And then he starts to see everything Mother Lauren is doing from a different angle and doubt, "are these my beliefs too?" Show that he is beginning to change his mind about whom he despised. Children in Night Vale have the power to change reality, either their own or external. So show that the boy's altered reality he made doesnt meet his desires 2.3 filler about Kevin. even more than one. One is not enough here. Like, about Cecil's father, we know 10x times more, and about Kevin's father, only a statement about a 3rd degree burn, and about the fact that little attention was paid to little Kevin. Show their interactions a little deeper. For example, Kevin's father (we already understood that he was an asshole, but still) gaslighted his son, ignored him much more often than it was worth and belittled his own labors, justifying that he must try better. Show how Kevin goes from acceptance to contradiction and understatement, but in the end to the inevitable acceptance. Show that, for example, he resigned himself and began to take his father's habits out of desperation. Show their family relations deeper than just a superficial family abuse. And then Kevin's words in the end abt his father would have been perceived from a completely different angle
Go on and say what you could add to make this acr better

As I've been listening to the lyrics of Bad Feeling by Jagwar Twin, all I can picture is Cecil and Kevin having a song battle, and this is the song Cecil sings at Kevin.
