History Fridge / WelcomeToNightVale

* If Episodes 19A and B are anything to go by, Cecil and Kevin have pictures of themselves on their desks. Anyone would think this is strange, because why would you have a picture of yourself on your desk? Neither character has ever shown any narcissistic tendencies. Then you remember that Cecil -and in turn Kevin- sometimes doubts his own existence. Perhaps the photos of themselves are meant to remind them that they are, in fact, real.

*** In one episode, Cecil advises the citizens to keep a photo album with them in case of memory loss, so maybe he and Kevin keep a photo of themselves in case they forget who they are?
** It's been recently revealed in Episode 33 that Cecil keeps the mirror in station's the men's bathroom covered due to [[spoiler:a weird "flickering" movement that appears when he looks at a mirror sometime after he obtains a tape recorder, which may or may not have hurt him at one point]]. Who's to say he doesn't do that in his house too, if he even has any? And if that's the case, what's the best way to know what you look like without using a mirror again? Oh that's right, photographs.

* Why do we hear so little of [[spoiler: Strexcorp's takeover]] until episode 36? Because in episode 36, Cecil's supervisor Daniel breaks down and they can't stop him from hinting during the show. [[spoiler: Until they shut him down, that is.]]
* {{Fanon}} example: When Cecil is not depicted as blond, he is commonly depicted as Native American. This offers an excellent explanation for his hatred of the Apache Tracker; the racism is unbearable enough, but if Cecil is Native American, then AT's racism would be very personally offensive to him (and indeed, he ''is'' more hostile toward AT for being racist toward Native Americans than Mayor Pamela Winchell for being racist against [[FantasticRacism dragons]]).

* In Episode 19B, Vanessa and her double were building a shelf, but it collapsed. We know from that episode what materials Desert Bluffs are using to made things, and Kevin said they had no replacement parts. Desert Bluffs is all about productivity. One of the Vanessas was hurt and so couldn’t work to full capacity. StrexCorp don’t have room for unproductive people. What do you think the other Vanessa finished that shelf with? Kevin didn’t spell it out on the radio because everyone who lives there would have known what he meant.
* In episode 32, Cecil ends the broadcast on a rather alarming note: [[spoiler: [=StrexCorp=] has bought Night Vale Community Radio and seem to be invading Night Vale]]. Cecil says that "everything is perfectly...[[BlatantLies safe]]", sounding more uncertain and nervous than he's been since ''The Sandstorm'' part B. And the worst part? His closing statements:

* In ''The Sandstorm'', Kevin notes that the Night Bale recording studio is "odd and bloodless". Cecil is horrified that the Desert Bluffs station is full of blood and gore. Is Desert Bluffs' studio normally bloody?

* Also in Episodes 19A and B, you might not notice on the first listen but "The Weather" for both episodes is the same song, performed quite differently by two different bands (The Ventura Klezmer Band, then Disparition).

* In episode 33, Cecil finds some cassette tapes he made as a teenager, which he doesn't remember making. Turns out the Cecil on the tapes had a different voice, a brother that Cecil doesn't remember having (or losing), a different middle and last name, and by the end of the tape, Young Cecil seems to have been....eaten by a mirror.
** It's not necessarily true that his name is different. Cecil Baldwin is the actor; it's never stated that the character is anything more than Cecil, so it could always have been Cecil Gershwin Palmer.

* After re-listening to Episode 25, when [[spoiler: Cecil and Carlos share their moment]], that Carlos is essentially admitting that he realized he had been misreading Cecil's intentions. Quoth Carlos: "Sometimes things seem so strange or malevolent, and then you find that underneath it was something else altogether. Something pure and innocent." It seems to be a metaphor for Cecil himself, and Carlos coming to terms with Cecil's and his own feelings.

** Or the two photographs showed Cecil or Kevin with someone else, a friend or family member, and the narrator at the fixated on the person in the photo who looked identical to them because, hey, wouldn't you?
