I know everybody is making their own variations of explaining just how impactful wtnv is for all the new people discovering the podcast in light of the poll but. its my turn... the way nightvale absolutely tears apart nihilism through its language in a way that is so unrelenting and raw has always been so special to me. it doesn't force meaning onto you it doesn't try to overwhelm and bombard you with optimism. it says yes, everything might be inconsequential, and maybe the insignificance that you feel is warranted, but that shouldn't negate your pride. bc u r still here. ur a mathematical anomaly and an unforeseen consequence of the explosion of stars. nightvale doesn't try to tell u that u should fall in love with existence. it just opens ur eyes to just how neat it is to exist at all. that whether or not you think its worth anything, ur still taking up space. that things in the universe have shifted to fit you. that there's a spot carved for you within all of this uncertainty. and maybe it doesn't mean anything. but maybe it does. and how cool would that be?
b proud of your place in the cosmos. it is small and yet it is :)
