Either Carlos attracts radio hosts or radio hosts like scientists
Both
I'm not sure Kevin likes Carlos in the way Cecil does though
Yes
Yes.
I never noticed that but you're not wrong......
Kevin you did NOT just hit on carlos
Ikr that’s what i was saying when I was listening 😭
@@sophieoconnell-mq4peexactly which part…
I actually find Kevin to be disturbing on so many levels. Its not even his blood fascination. Its the fact that hes like an evil mixture of a pushy boss, an overly happy sun-worshipping somesuch, and that person who used to bully you as a child but now acts too friendly as an adult...
Kevin is not to be trusted desert outworld.
This is exactly why i LIKE Kevin
@@JustMe-jj7xr ayyy same
his voice to, its creepy
... did kevin just... when carlos was talking about blood... kevin pls no KEEP IT PG 13
ikr just... BOI
so far ive only looked at the image and my first reaction was "oh god please no"
Akidachi My reaction was "oh god yes please!"
My friend and I came up with a theory that you're either a desert bluffs person or a nightvale person. When I first heard that desert bluffs episode I really loved it and really enjoyed the change, (I still prefer Cecil's nightvale, obviously), whereas my friend listened to it she was like 'God no.' She couldn't stand it. I wonder why our reactions were so different; our personalities are the same (enfp), etc. Anyone else a Desert bluffs person?
+John Smith Not sure if I'm really a Desert Bluffs person, but I do love Kevin. Even if he is creepy as fuck.
i dont remember liking this comment. ive never seen this episode before.
but still.
me too jfc i dont like kevins creepy ass... fucken... country ass music... ugly :(
Akidachi yup
Ive found my new favorite quote from carlos. "Stop going to war you need rest!"
I imagine Kevin always smiling inhumanly wide, but the smile never reaches his eyes. His eyes are cold, almost manic.
In Sandstorm B, Cecil describes him as having black eyes.
Glad I'm not the only one who pictures him like this
mousemuffins Cecil also mention carlos’ “deep, melodious voice”. He’s prone to exaggeration lol
@@Lovinia1 yea but others have noticed Kevin's black eyes before. I'm pretty sure Steve wouldn't have said he had "cool eyes" if they were just. Normal
Carlos asked Kevin if he wanted him to save some pasta salad because Cecil like pasta salad.
Will Egbert HE MISSES HIS BF AWW
AAHHHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHA
*strange noises instead of the intro song* I am uncomfortable with this turn of events.
"Welcome to a Desert Otherworld!"
//music stops
I guess nobody threw a Disparition CD into the Dog Park.
Dear kevin,
YOU!
STAY!
AWAY!
FROM!
CARLOS!!!
You monster.
I FUCKING HATE KEVIN SO MUCH
Did anyone else read "You monster" in Bill Cypher's voice or am I just Gravity Falls trash?
Also i LOVE Kevin...
@@harrisonross2738 GLaDOS'
I picture you saying this in between hitting him with a shovel
Is this why it took so long for Carlos to figure out how to get home? Kevin was keeping him productive.
OMG I never thought about this!
Prophecyarmour Dude...I just thought the desert was affecting him in a weird way. But nooo, it was HIM!
HOLY FUJK
Kevin is even gayer and scarier than Ceec
Duda Pimentel isn't it beautiful?
+Rae Breneman it's stunning
which is scary, evil lil kevin
Stop. Going. To. WAR! YOU NEED REST!!
he has reached his final form of:
DADIMUS PRIME
I love that part but they need to not go to war
@@kevincurran1250 "we have war at home"
@@reenay4913 kevin is the war at home.
carlos: ugh everything's covered in blood!!!!
kevin: *biting his lip and breathing heavily* oh god tell me more
did....did Kevin just ....when Carlos mentioned blood...
I-.. yeahh
Michi dear lord.... carlos Run??!
+Cat Torres (ProFangirl717) Yes Carlos needs to rUN
69th like, just for you. +Cat Torres
Cat Torres Yeah. Did he...like....come in his pants? 😨
Kevin: *does something violent*
Me: SCREECH
Cecil: *does something violent*
Me: that's my boy. Good job. I love you.
As a science major, Carlos losing all his research was physically painful.
Kevin: “I think I’ll name it” Me: “ Hoe don’t do it!” Kevin: “ Dessert Bluffs” Me: “ HAUH OH MY GOD”
"stoP GOING TO WAR, YOU NEED REST" is probably my favorite quote in this Episode
At the beginning of this episode I was angry that Kevin was trying to steal Carlos from Cecil, but then I became sad when Carlos started saying something confusing that can be interepretated as him wanting to break up with Cecil. The fact that a letter made by a human can make a psychopathic monster cry is depressing.
The noise Kevin makes after Carlos describes all the blood and stuff is life...
he scares me
Its called Hemophilia, Its actually...more common than you think...
What is life to you exactly?
I was laughing for 10 minutes straight
@kevin u ok? u good bro?
*i just like your story*
welp
So, I think the letter Carlos wrote was for Kevin, rather than Cecil, especially after what happened in episode 70B. I don't think he forgot the letter on Kevin's desk, he was "hand delivering" it to *Kevin* That's probably why the letter made him so sad...
KoiFish That's exactly what I thought
Yeah I was confused and afraid he meant to break up with Cecil, but no, I guess it was ending his friendship with Kevin.
Carlos said that he was going to Night Vale for the last time right??????? Maybe that means he's staying there??????? Also, KEVIN I SWEAR YOU TRY TO TAKE CARLOS AWAY FROM CECIL YOU WILL NO LONGER BE BLESSED BY A SMILING GOD, BUT TORMENTED ETERNALLY IN HELL.
+Robyn Thornton It is my hope that carlos was delivering the letter to Kevin. Not Cecil.
I hope so, and that's probably why he left the letter with Kevin instead of taking it with him
But that would mean he was dating Kevin while in this desert otherworld. Dating! KEVIN!
Carlos sounds like he would make an awesome parent.
definitely
Carlos best dad 2k16
They really need to give him and Cecil a baby~!
MidnightSunna Agreed c:
If Cecil and Carlos get a Kid, then it could be like besties with Janice
I will literally commit homicide if Carlos and Cecil break up. I am not even kidding you here.
I am actually having a angst attack.
Right! A few people might die and I cannot confirm all who it will be
Lol i can almost hear that podcast:
*In other news, Kevin-Kevin is gone. One moment he was here, the next thousands of angry beings known only as "fans" ripped through space and time and pulled him back through the endless void tp a world unknown and then disappeared, yelling things like "Goodbye, Cecil!" And "We love you Nightvale!" And "Go get your man back, Cecil! Listeners, i do not know who these "Fans" are, but i know one thing: they are right! I cannot wait any longer! I will go now, and fight where i must fight, cry where i must cry, and sacrifice pigeons and rabbits where i must sacrifice pigeons and rabbits and i WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I HAVE CARLOS BACK! So as i go now, to Carlos, i send my thanks to the Fans from another world or time, for their strong words. GOODNIGHT, NIGHTVALE. GOODNIGHT.*
@@JustMe-jj7xr This is perfect 😂 You should right fanfic!
3:25
This is where I IMMEDIATELY became suspicious. From what I know, Kevin originally referred to Carlos as "hideous" or something along those lines. He's just kissing up to Carlos to gain his trust, for whatever reason. This can't end well...
LuckyRabbit33 I bet he was sucking up in order to get his hands on that research. He was really excited and persistent whenever he spoke to Carlos on that
Viper V I feel like he really started to like Carlos? or he wanted to prevent Carlos from being Cecil. perhaps the way to do it would be to show interest in Carlos' work I dunno
Based on Carlos "forgetting" the letter in Kevin's booth, and Kevin's reaction at the end (even though he says he shouldn't read the letter, it's clear he's unable to resist the temptation and does end up reading it), I don't think Carlos is breaking up with Cecil, but with the Desert Otherworld (New Desert Bluffs? Desert Bluffs.2?). Throughout the whole episode I got the impression that we were being lured to believe that Carlos doesn't feel that 'spark' with Cecil anymore but it feels like a red herring to me.
Dudes take off your ship glasses and try to pick up the subtle cues the authors are giving you. And stop threatening Kevin. Of course he would be interested in Carlos's research. For one it might help him get home. But most of all it's the only news he has!!! Also it's pretty weird to threaten a guy who has been tortured, brainwashed and forced to do horrible things by a 'smiling God'. The dude deep down is very much like Cecil so hating is like hating Cecil. Basically he's a version of Cecil who lost. Plus like have more confidence in your ship!!
I always feel sooo bad for Kevin. He used to be just like Cecil, but he's had some absolutely horrible things happen to him. I get why people don't like him: he's a naturally unlikable character. But at the same time, he is a character, and that means there are aspects of his personality that we as listeners have to evaluate. We need to come to our own conclusions, not just jump off of what we're told.
+Claire Tourigny I love Kev...
this is my fav comment tbh it really made me rethink everything. thanks
that sounds sarcastic I wasn't being sarcastic I genuinely meant like it helped me piece together things bc I struggle,,, thank u
90% sure that Kevin is Cecil's brother
Carlos: *mentions blood
Kevin: Jizz in my pants
Mimi I know it's been 3 years but I read this comment as Kevin wanting Carlos to jizz in *his* pants and it kills me every time
Listening to the podcast for two years straight, i cant help but feel at home in Night Vale and whenever this podcast takes me elsewhere thats not Night Vale, i get homesick.
Willie touset saaaaaaame
i know right.
me to bro...
FELTTT
Yes me too.
Ok some parts of this sound flirty but Kevin literally sounds like a happy infatuated teen girl no matter what. And he didn't step over any boundries more than anyone with a crush would (reminder he is trapped in an endless desert with almost no humans at all of course hes lonely)
Also. I really REAAAAAALLLLLLY would kill for more of Kevin and Carlos friendship like especially the way Carlos treats him? Hes weirded out a bit but not really rude like?? It's neat idk
Yes!!!!
Oh god he decorated
I'm so confused now.. is kevin falling in love with carlos...? He said he was ugly before.. what was in that letter?.. I don't trust this.. please, please no oh god...
Jade Johnson "I love letters!" love letters? love-letters?
Oh god please no o-o
K. Medeiros Kevin got shot down on that 'love letter' really quick haha
To be fair, aren't we all falling in love with Carlos?
quiroz923 Very true point ^^
Holy crap, Carlos, I think you broke Kevin.
Huh. Would've thought it'd be the other way around.
Everyone's obsessed with Carlos (possibly) breaking up with Cecil (which is sad to be fair) but is no one else wierded out by the fact that desert bluffs is inside nightvale and was built by nightvalians and will become the desert bluffs in the future which will travel across the desert to take over nightvale? is nightvale doomed to be taken over and destroyed by the smiling god for ever because even after defeating it they end up making the civilisation that causes it all in the first place. interesting stuff!
that's deep.
I was thinking that maybe they were the ones who built Night Vale. I seriously waited Kevin to say Night Vale
I know this was written five years ago but to add on to this with your thought - what if Kevin is that smiling god since he is described as always smiling?
CARLOS GODDAMMIT WHY MUST YOU BE SO CONFUSING WITH YOUR WORDS.
NOOOOOO NO THANK YOU CARLOS YOU ARE NOT SO HELPFUL WITH YOUR... WORDS
When kevin said "And like my friend, Carlos" I got momentarily upset because i thought he said boyfriend.
And wonderful weather we're having.
PS. CARLOS DONT LEAVE HIM!
Why why did I go to the comments before I finished listening.
SAME
jhone simpon HONESTLY I LITERALLY JUST STARTED THE EPISODE AND.im just like
well time to read the comments :')
i love not spoiling myself what do u mean
+jhone simpon In my case because I got so mad Kevin is talking to Carlos.
Saaaaaaaaame
Listening still and freaking out because I haven’t finished!
Steve Carlsberg, then Kevin...
Is there anyone we can really hate?
+James Akrane Yes... Kevin. We can REALLY hate Kevin.
+James Akrane Lauren Mallard
James Akrane You can hate Lauren Mallard, no one's gonna fight you for that.
I don’t hate Kevin at all
I dont hate kevin much (just finished triptych.) But like. Kevin was PRIME hate material this episode ejeoshishs. Like he was really shitty to carlos and also trying to get @ him the whole time. (A lot subtle hints showing hed be a shitty partner like when he cut him off)
Best sympathetic thing he did was get sad at the end???
I have no problem with Kevin, I actually still really like him.
But if Carlos breaks up with Cecil I will scream. >-
THANK YOU, REASONABLE FAN!!
Kevin: *has a flirty voice with Carlos*. me: *screams angerly* dO NOT FLIRT WITH HIM HES NOT YOURS
Someone should probably put a sign on Carlos saying, "Property of Cecil, do not touch."
Ya know ... I kinda feel sorry for Kevin at the end. Yeah, he has some "disturbing" untidiness and decorating sense, but he's obviously got a heart.
Probably several. Where they’re being kept is up for interpretation.
i like how carlos sounded excited but then sounded super salty and super done when kevin started hitting on him
I love Carlos's speechless reaction to Kevin's 'decorating'.
Carlos sounds like a mom with three five year olds who just came inside from mud fights and got hurt
Kevin's little whimper at being told there's blood he can't be near is adorable.
Is nobody going to discuss the noise Kevin made at 11:36
Nnnnope... we just.... *like his story*
Pls god no
What noise? Who’s she? Don’t know her...
ameerkat he gets turned on by blood
Noise? I heard no noise? What noise??
I feel bad for Kevin who was changed by the Smiling God.
+Mia Birmingham Spoilers.
+hntrofdmads strex
I know people keep complaining about Kevin (which chill guys, pretty sure Carlos is not interested in Kevin but I digress) but it was nice to actually listen to Carlos talk, like how he really would talk. I was getting annoyed only ever hearing him gush about science(but not saying anything in particular and here he actually talked about evidence and experiments) a compliment to Cecil and thats it, which is nice too dont get me wrong.I never did quite warm up to his voice. This episode made him feel more real, what he does with his life, a separate identity from Cecil. Overall fantastic episode especially that ending wow.
carlos sounds like a mom telling the masked army not to fight anymore
WHAT NO WHY CECILOS NO *Collapses*
Also screw you Kevin.
S Whitley *Turns Kevin into a sheet of paper, screws him up,flattens him out and puts him into a paper shredder*.
**Throws Kevin's remains in a bonfire**.
***** Carlos come to me...
+hntrofdmads I regret this after Triptych...
the beginning of the show made me squint at my laptop and mutter "kevin back o f f "
Oh man, this could mean so many things!
But I think this is Carlos regretting the hurt their separation has caused Cecil, and knowing how much Cecil loves his job and his town, how much it would hurt for him to move. I think he has chosen Cecil, though he's built a life and friendships- including Kevin- he has decided to go home to Cecil.
Also, I love Kevin, Kevin needs a big hug. Poor, sweet, misunderstood, Kevin.
Ikr?! I love how he was trying to cheer Carlos up even in his wierd way when he realised that Carlos' live might be falling apart
I think kevin just really wants a friend. Hes trying soo hard to ALWAYS be cheerful and reach out and im just crying for him bc i relate, like sure, hes been twisted, and has problems but still...
The weather, repeatedly: "at the bottom of the garbage bin"
oh, now you're singing about me?
This episode makes me feel so many kinds of sad. I... I don't know if I want to even listen to Part B.
I'm going to listen to Part B, but I'm going to be sad while doing it. Even if I'm not supposed to be sad.
Cindy Grotz were you sad? Even the end?
capu700 After watching Part B, my sadness departed. Yet, I am still sad for Kevin. I hope they don't leave him languishing in the Desert Otherworld.
Cindy Grotz yea:( I kinda feel bad for him. But I can't figure out if he had any ulterior motives with his showing interest in Carlos
Carlos has such concerned dad energy in this episode, I love it
Kevin is totes into Carlos.
THAT IS SO CUTE I'M SORRY BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE SINCE HE IS CECIL'S OTHER SELF.
I KNEW IT!
I KNEW THAT LETTER WAS FOR THE PERSON IT WAS DELIVERED TO!
CALLED IT!
Tbh complimenting Carlos' work ethic and simultaneously being Really Obviously into bloodplay is probably the best flirting Kevin knows how to do
That end was actually really heartbreaking. Kevin (and probably all desert bluffs citizens) has been so indoctrinated into his city's beliefs that he ignores his own emotions in the interest of productivity. The resurgence of sadness distresses him so much; it not only ruins the productivity he values so much, but he's just not used to emotions in general
This is so sad
Alexa, tell me the weather
kevin.... keviiiiin! easy with the blood.
feel bad for kevin? feel like hating kevin? i don't know how to feel about kevin... but definitely sorry for him those last moments.
oh so this is officially a Desert Bluffs episode
that's nice :)
Kevin's opinion on pasta salad is exactly me with sweet pickles. Eugh.
I love how random this comment is tbh
and eggs. @#$% eggs.
Idk man, eggs can be good if youre not allergic to 'em. It depends a lot on how they're made and what spices if any you use. They're like the potatoes of the protein food group.
Eggs don't exist, show me an egg, that's *not* an egg....
@@MacTechG4 Who let *YOU* in here!?!
I love Kevin so much XD he's so happy about talking about his decorations
It is clear that Kevin can't be trusted but...I love his voice. It's so soothing.
"Like my friend, Carlos, he's a scientist-" I DONT LIKE THAT TONE OF VOICE
"Beautiful man who does beautiful things-" YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH MISTER
i always forget that kevin is cecils double. its just so unreal to me that they could be similar in any way. besides from kevs "hollow eyes" of course
What if the desert otherworld is actually the very distant past of Night Vale? It would explain why Night Vale had a radio station long before radio was even invented. (The mountain on the other hand though would be harder to explain.)
Sorry for the necro-comment, but it's implied that the desert otherworld was an alternate (or rather, the true) Night Vale that was destroyed in some sort of cataclysm as detailed by Cecil in the episode [Best of?]. The Night Vale we know is the alternate timeline where this cataclysm did not happen, thanks to a certain time traveler. The portal between the two timelines is the dog park.
I used to hate Kevin but now I can't. The way he genuinely sounded heartbroken at the end, especially with how happy he always sounds, was actually really sad. Being Cecil's double, maybe he's jealous of the fact that the one he thinks is inferior to himself found someone who he loves and who loves him, because Kevin doesn't have that. I'm incredibly bad at hating characters.
Just remember to believe in a Smiling God. And the company picnic. It Should come back
11:35 the point at which kevin turns into a ghoul
frootloopstakethewheel kevin must have a weird relationship with blood. tbh when i listened to that part before i thought he was jacking off
same, part of me thinks he has a kind of weird blood fetish
that's kind of cool though in a weird way
Kevin is Cecil’s double, it completely makes sense
*hugs Kevin* . 3 .
BrinaFlautist you would have to take a shower after that because he's covered in blood...
Miss Fluffy Why would I want to wash it off? That's no fun.
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS TO PROTECT HIM
To all of uou in the Welcome to Nightvale studios, thank you. You have brought me such joy and love for all you do and I hope you know that we all appreciate you guys, No matter what the haters say. You are worth the world... and at least 12 hooded figures and literally a five headed dragon
* You
Im sorry I have no money to donate but I hope my words will help, and a troll named Jerry, be careful with Jerry. He only eats poptarts
All of the poptarts......ALL of them
No..... my ship. ..... Its sinking so fast 💔
Bubba Fey There are no Welcome to Night Vale Haters. Such beings do not exist, like mountains.
i realy liked the weather in this episode
same.
Everyone is freaking out about Evil Kevin and I'd just like to point out Sad Kevin and that I really want to help him. Imagine the character arc that would be.
(SPOILERS listen to part b before reading this)
when i first heard carlos say the phrase "no more distractions" it made me feel absolutely terrible because i thought he was talking about cecil. BUT !! turns out he was talking about the desert otherworld and his studies and things of the like and that is so awesome!!! i think the moment he decided to leave the dog park is when he realized that he shouldn't put his passion for science in front of everything else. i fucking love this podcast so much
**carlos voice** so that's some but not all of the emotions that i had
Comment: says spoilers on it
Comment: warns to listen to part b FIRST
Me: hasnt even finished first part
Me: reads anyways
Me:regret
KEVIN NO THE HELL YOU WON'T TOUCH THAT BEAUTIFUL CREATURE! THATS CECIL BABY!
am i the only one who really like Kevin a lot...? i mean, he is sort of cute? like, he is blocking away things he doesn't like and living in his own world with no friend. (i like a cute psychopath.)
Cecil is just as nuts it's just that he breaks your mind with his voice over time.
I really missed Kevin!!! Listen to his voice makes me happy!
Personally, I feel that Kevin may have flirted with Carlos but Carlos was oblivious, thinking Kevin was just being nice.
Getting a pretty big wave of anxiety and sorrow at the thought of that letter.
Be still, my beating hearts!

Timelord!?!
No, she's human, with all five of the hearts that entails
Is this the Doctor???
Dear Kevin, my precious son I actually love you so much
My Kevinos ship has just sailed and sank. Is it just me, or am I the only person who wishes some sort of good/improvement for Kevin?
You're not alone. I absolutely ADORE Kevin. I love that thinly veiled passive aggressiveness, that can-do attitude and cheerful disposition, but mostly I love when his carefully crafted mask breaks a little and we get to see a bit of true emotion slip out. I support Cecilios 6386.72%, but I'd be lying if I said my heart didn't break a little at the end of part A here. Still not sure that Kevin wasn't just using Carlos, however they were together in the Desert Otherworld for a year. Maybe by the end Kevin really had grown genuinely attached?
All I know is that I am so indescribably happy to hear Kevin's voice again.
Why would anyone wish improvement for Kevin? It's being such a perfect, non repentant psychopath that makes him such a good character. No one wants to see him improve. He's the exact right mix of creepy, menacing, happy and pleasant. Also, he has a perfect taste for interior design.
quiroz923 But wouldn't it be fun
Wouldn't it be great
Wouldn't it be swell
To see Kevin break~
Shush
I just want a Kevin I safely cuddle
While in tears ,while in tears my dear Cecil.
when he said "I'm your radio host" i just screamed "NO YOUR NOT!"
Joseph Fink and Jeffry Cranor really said you’ll feel bad for Kevin huh
11:36 Kevin omg that noise, if he's doing what I think he's doing then there's definitely some kind of attraction towards Carlos/ his voice... or Kevin has a blood kink.
Kevin! Im so happy to have another full episode of him! I really wish he had his own spin off (full length) podcast
"KKKKKKKKKKKKEVINNNNN" was my immediate reaction to the picture
WHEN CARLOS SAID HE WROTE A LETTER TO SET BOUNDARIED I WENT "OH FUCK NO YOU ARE NOT DOING WHAT I THINK YOU ARE DOING"
Kevin sounds like hes trying to make a move on Carlos...
I'm so uncomfortable.
Come back to Night Vale and bring Carlos back with you.
The way Kevin said ‘my friend’ felt like he was savoring it
I swear to the glow cloud, if Carlos didn't leave the note intentionally there and wants to break up with Cecil, I will kill him and decorate my room with his blood. He cannot do that to Cecil. I always had the feeling that Cecil loves Carlos more than the other way around... I do not like this feeling I have
I want to hate Kevin, but I just can't! Omg the ending, I'll just go cry now
I don't know why, maybe because his voice is so smooth and clear but I'm kinda starting to like Kevin xD
