Carlos Appreciation Week Official

It has been brought to my attention that many of you have been having trouble finding others in this fandom. So, this blog was created! 

This blog will have occasional updates of news, and will ALWAYS keep growing. I don’t have much stuff yet here, BUT, with your help, everyone can be found to follow easily! Here’s all you have to do:

If you are in the WTNV Fandom please reblog this post and put the following info in the tags:

The type of blog you are (ex. random content, cosplayer, roleplayer, artist, etc)

If you are a ask blog/roleplayer, please specify who you play. 

If you have multiple muses, state your Main Character you play, and add “multi muse”

You do not have to post ONLY wtnv things to be included in the masterlist. 

If you do not tag this at all, I will have no idea where to put you and cannot include you in the masterlists. Please tag this. 

It’s okay if your content overlaps. Please specify all content.  (ex. If you do cosplay gifs in your roleplay, then tag that you are a cosplayer and roleplayer.) 

If you have any questions, feel free to message me or ask me.

I feel like a broken record, especially seeing a lot of people’s other responses, but my favorite moment is in first date and when they first kiss. That moment is so serene and soft and I love it.

Day seven: The Future.

I wish for Carlos to remain in Night Vale with Cecil and have a ton of exciting, fluffy, and hopefully not-too-life-threatening adventures together. I wish they’ll be together, right up until the end, and hopefully something like the Desert-otherworld thing to never happen again (it destroyed me, goddammit) I don’t really know what to say much, I just really want him to always be a part of Night Vale, and for all of us to have the same warm feeling whenever we talk of our desert community’s favorite scientist, and for us to never ever forget Carlos- dear Carlos, the perfectly imperfect scientist. 

Sooooo day 6: favorite moment: CONDOS. Carlos’ speech about time, and space, and a home was so sweet and cute yet surprisingly deep; when he asked Cecil if they wanted a home together I literally started crying and screaming simultaneously. Luckily I was hiding  in the corner of a room at home so no one saw me flailing. :D Seriously I love that episode so much, it made me realize that it’s happening, guys, Cecil and Carlos are actually living together now and I just asdfghjkl;’ MY HEARTS *Strangled noises*

Passing through the Dog Park gates is like coming home. Carlos supposes it is. He thought that the Desert Otherworld was his home, and he thought that Night Vale wasn’t. Privately (and he’ll never tell Cecil) he thinks that the doors locked him out not because of a fundamental trait of his that was non- Nightvaleian, but because he thought of himself as an Interloper with a capital I. Night Vale is his home because he chooses to see it that way.

Carlos is a scientist. He studies science, and what is science but investigating what he does not understand? Night Vale was full of mystery when he came. But he began to understand it. He understood the lights above the Arby’s. He understood what Strex was trying to do, and understood why it was upsetting. In the desert otherworld, he did not understand, and he loved it. 

CARLOS  WEEK DAY 4: DYLAN

Dylan has contributed a lot to Carlos. He’s his voice.

Dylan is definitely one of the celebrities I look up to, and can certainly say, ‘hey, this guy right here is my idol’. I met him once and he was an absolute sweetheart.

I guess I like how so many people can fit different headcanons to him and it still works.

The BEST one I’ve ever read, hands-down, is a crossover fanfic by ShadyDave that posits that Carlos the scientist from Nightvale, and Warden Carlos Ramirez from the Dresden Files are the same person. Wizard!Carlos knows nothing about science and is just winging it as a cover to protect the town (and by extension, the world) from the eldritch abominations that sleep below it. Taking into account that wizard!Carlos has NO IDEA what he’s talking about doesn’t change wtnv canon one iota. And it’s GLORIOUS.

The fic is called “Love is all you need to destroy your enemies” if you want to read it. I found it over on AO3.

Day 5: Little Things- Favorite little Carlos head-canon? It can be a physical or emotional thing! Anything!

tbh one of my fav headcanons is that carlos is just.. super short, like, maybe 5′2 at most.  (accidental double meaning of the prompt eyy)

He had never intended to get this involved. This wasn’t a complaint on his part, just a simple fact. When he had first come to Night Vale, he had done so with the intent to study it, and nothing more. However, as time went on, he found he wasn’t able to be as clinical as he had at first. He had kept his distance, trying to separate himself from the people and goings-on of the town, but over time, he found he couldn’t help but get somewhat invested. He did, after all, have to talk to people occasionally. He had to shop and do interviews and generally go around town, and with talking and time came familiarity, and with familiarity came comfort (at least to a certain degree), and with comfort, attachment. It was simple psychology, and something he should’ve anticipated, yet it was still a shock when he realized it.

Aww geez! This should have probably come earlier. I feel like I’ve already said all my favorite Carlos moments! Every part in the book where he shows up. His whole part in the Thrilling Adventure Hour crossover. His speech in Condos. His first date with Cecil. That special moment in One Year Later. The entire episode of Lazy Day.

Honestly, though, I think my favorite moment with Carlos was in Wheat And Wheat By-products. That was the first time ever that we see him affected by something in a human way. He stammers for a few seconds when Cecil asks him about the earthquakes. Maybe he wasn’t prepared for Cecil asking him a professional question right away? Maybe things were starting to get to him? Perhaps he was starting to learn that he wasn’t going to solve everything in Night Vale. Whatever it was, I love listening to that bit the most.

Shit Carlos, you have a whole week to your damn self.
