#pine cliffs

Do you think in pine cliffs people use oujia boards for texting eachother ? Or those ghost boxes where people say that spirits use radio waves to communicate as a cellphone ?

Imagine Kevin at some place getting Charles and Donovan pizza or whatever and he just pulls out a oujia board to ask Charles what toppings he wants 😂 or uses the spirit box to call him “charlesss can we get sushi tonight im not cooking”

Diversity? Everywhere? Gender, sexuality, age, religion, race (somewhat up to speculation because no canon physical description, but we know some)

Functional relationships? Of all kinds? Carlos and Cecil is just *chefs kiss*, they clearly have a functional family going on (post Spy in the Desert included) and are also just so adorable.

And Kevin! His arc, and the relationships he gets to parallel Cecil and his (also ep 73 guys, come on).

The plot points that come back? Remember that plane we hear about back in the first episode? Yeah that's a thing. The Angels get some attention too.

Kinda a spoiler, but Khoshekh gets kittens! Just adorable!

Can we talk about Steve Carlsburg? I wanna talk about Steve Carlsburg guys. The character development both he and Cecil go through is beautiful.

Old Woman Josie, guys. I'll just leave that there (eps 103/104)

Just the huge cast of characters in general? We learn about so many people and in a way that makes us care about them, and they're as real as Cecil or Carlos.

Also, the balance of absurd and serious is so well done. I'm laughing my ass off every time the dog park is mentioned, or during...I mean any of the segments, community calendar, messages from sponsors, whatever. I also nearly sobbed listening to 149, which was interesting as I was on a walk.

On a less serious but also very genuine note, I desperately need to know what the FUCK is up with Cecil. Like, he can remember when Old Woman Josie...was a young girl? And he sounded the exact same back then?

Also the other towns? Like. Night Vale isn't isolated. There's weird stuff in Desert Bluffs, there's a town just full of ghosts (Pine Cliffs? Red Mesa? One of those).

Oh yeah and Desert Bluffs, Strex Corp. That's a whole thing.

Also the books! Are so good!

I love this world so much, it feels so real since we get so much information from so many different people and places. I would 100% drop everything to live in Night Vale, no questions asked.

I liked the idea of them being female, as a contrast to Cecil and Kevin; since we’ve never heard from them in canon... that’s still up to us!

So I've seen a lot of great Pine Cliff AU ideas and I thought I'd throw in one of my own.

Odd Squad

If you're not familiar with this show its a PBS show where kids solve odd problems with math and logic. But there are robot chickens and tubes that allow them to travel anywhere and flying giant goldfish and strange changing doors that lead to strange changing places.

In short my thought is that instead of a mega- Corporation or secretive government types the ever present (omnipresent?) Thing that the town's people have to deal with is children in suits whose names all begin with an O.
