...why does the internet keep telling me Cecil has tentacles?

My bff jon keeps wondering this, too. IDK why it's such a prevalent headcanon. I don't hate it, but it's definitely not my favorite. I prefer Cecil to be mostly normal, a la the Addams Family. Like, they're pretty regular folks who just happen to be used to less-than-mainstream ways of life (and okay, maybe sometimes have unusual physical abilties/characteristics, but mostly regular), you know? That's much more interesting to me than if everyone in Night Vale's walking around being sekritly be-tentacled or whatever.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I accept that when dealing with fandom on the internet, a certain amount of tentacles is inevitable - as the old saying goes, where there's fandom, there's tentacles. Also catboys, regardless of how suitable the original canon is for either. I haven't checked, but I bet there's Sons of Anarchy tentacle fic and catboy art for Spartacus. But Night Vale seems like it's all tentacles, all the time. Mix it up a little, dudes. Let's at least get some catboy arts up in here.
