Cecil is like the man in the tan jacket. Every time I hear his voice, I have an image of him. But every time I try to focus on it, it goes away.

I like how Cecil is unharmed by all the terrors and catastrophies of Night Vale. Gets me thinking about possible cloning or Cecil-from-alternate-dimension importation going on in the backstage. It's entertaining to think about it, especially knowing that such dark events should never be spoken about. Also, the colour blue doesn't exist.

@@thelastmoonchild.I personally would suggest it!! However the tone is much more serious with humor sprinkled in by dryness from characters rather than absurdity. The other person who replied is right - they’re a similar genre with rather different tones. The Magnus Archives is the narration of various mini horror stories that eventually interconnect, and there’s also a cast of characters within a larger plot. Also, there’s a lot more realistic noises and such. I personally prefer it over Night Vale. The characters are incredible and the lore is honestly perfect eldritch/lovecraftian horror. Give it a shot if you’d like!!

God, this show's sense of foreshadowing is the fucking best. I'm just going through and listening to this again, and I didn't realize that there were mentions of Her and the roaches and "ride the trains" even back then!!
