There are cages and carriers full of sweet kitties all over the station, representing all four breeds of cat: Long-haired, Short-haired, Smooshy-faced, and Miscellaneous.

i cant sleep so i wanna talk about the different ways i conceptualize cecil's age. to me there are 3 domains i consider: chronological, physical, and functional

for his chronological age, we know cecil was a teenager in 1745 making him more than 279 years old. this one's pretty straight forward.

for his physical age we have to do some math. i've broken it down in greater detail before, but the tldr of that post is that (in my estimation) cecil physically ages 4-8 years for every 49 years he's alive. given how much wtnv likes a 1:10 ratio, i'd actually be willing to bet my math in the original post is close but wrong and cecil ages at a 1:10 rate. if cecil was at least 15 in 1745, and if he was stuck at 19 for at most 100 years, that would make him around 33 physically.

cecil's functional age i've never seen talked about and i haven't had a lot of chances to talk about before, so this was the main motivator for this post. cecil isn't just a man, he is The Voice. and since huntokar found night vale after it was founded and didn't break time until 1983, we can assume there was something supernatural about cecil before her involvement.

leonard burton was host of nvcr for "an uncountable number of years" and cecil has said he didn't recall anyone being host before him.

cecil interned under him from at least 1745 until ww2, likely after pearl harbor (1941) since cecil stated america was involved in the war at that time. so cecil interned for ~179 years and has been hosting for ~83 years

it's unclear when leonard died, i've detailed the murky timeline on his wiki page, but cecil had been hosting for between 38-60 years when he did. when leonard died he was crossing the street outside of nvcr, which i interpret this to mean leonard was still involved even after he retired, likely continuing his mentor role informally or else helping cecil as a consultant.

no matter how long cecil had been hosting, 38-60 years is a drop in the bucket compared to "an uncountable number of years." cecil as The Voice was still very new, functionally very young, when leonard died.

this continues the theme of cecil's life: that he's abandoned too young and before he's ready. i read cecil's lack of on-air professionalism to be a reflection of that; just like how he struggled and lashed out and acted up after his mother left he's doing the same thing on the radio. he didn't have anyone to show him any better. we aren't seeing cecil the 279 year old immortal or cecil the 33 year old man, we're seeing The Voice who is still only a child

You go to a funeral home where they are hosting Is It Cake. The judges, in shadow, hand you a knife, and a body. It is not cake, but they eat anyway. Welcome to Night Vale.

Yeah, Kevin's the mirror that shows everything Cecil fears and never wants to be, but do you think Kevin ever looks at Cecil and is reminded of his past imperfect self that Strex killed? Cecil has his silhouette but is drawn in the darkness that the Smiling God finds abhorrent; Kevin is Cecil's broken reflection but Cecil is Kevin's shadow.

Whenever I see someone use the word "neat" I will automatically make the assumption you are a wtnv fan. People who use the word "neat" who are not fans of wtnv should Listen to wtnv immediately.

I'm gonna be honest, there was a decent stretch of time where I thought WTNV & TMA were about two groups of people in the same setting having VERY different reactions.

Everyone in the institute is fighting for their goddamn lives, meanwhile over in the states yer man Cecil is chatting the shite, talking about his levatating cat, before playing "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira.

"Listeners, today begins Night Vale Poetry Week - one of our most sacred town traditions. As you know, every citizen is required to write hundreds of poems. Nonstop poems. During this time, the City Council lifts their bans on writing utensils, thesauruses, and public descriptions of the moon. And they mandate that everybody use their municipally-granted free will to join in on the fun."

- WTNV episode 20, Poetry Week

Q: What's going on?

A: In celebration of hit podcast Welcome to Night Vale and the ways it has altered our brain chemistry over the years, I am organising a poetry week, just like in episode 20!

Q: Huh? So if we don't write a poem, you'll send us for another HR retraining session in the Dark Box?

A: Well, probably not, but are you willing to take that risk?

You can write as many or as few poems as you like.

They can be Night Vale related or not.

They can be short or long.

You can write them fast or slow.

The most important thing is to have fun, be yourself, and avert your hollow gaze from any hooded figures you may encounter.

Q: I mean... I'm not much of a poet, but the part about averting your hollow gaze sounds fun. What are the challenge prompts?

A: Here are the poem prompts for each day of the challenge:

Day 1 (April 28): Mirrors

Day 2 (April 29): Deer

Day 3 (April 30): Teeth
