Cecil can have diamond symbolism. As a treat and also for no reason other than the fact that it looks cool

In honour of cecilsweep2023, here are some wtnv quotes that live in my mind rent-free. Feel free to add on more if you'd like!
...no pet is perfect. It becomes perfect when you learn to accept it for what it is. (Episode 2: The Glow Cloud)
Sleep heavily and know that I am here with you now. The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together, you and I. (Episode 12 - The Candidate
Time is like wax, dripping from a candle flame. In the moment, it is molten and falling, with the capability to transform into any shape. Then the moment passes, and the wax hits the table top and solidifies into the shape it will always be. It becomes the past – a solid single record of what happened, still holding in its wild curves and contours the potential of every shape it could have held. It is impossible – no matter how blessed you are by luck, or the government, or some remote, invisible deity gently steering your life with hands made of moonlight and wind – it is impossible not to feel a little sad, looking at that bit of wax, that bit of the past. It is impossible not to think of all the wild forms that wax now will never take. (Episode 21 - A Memory of Europe)
When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were – all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn’t yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing. (Episode 33 - Cassette)
Listeners, I do not know everything about Carlos and he does not tell me everything. That is OK. We are not one person. How lonely that would be! A couple who has made themselves one so completely, that they are once again alone. We are two people, separate. Unique. And joined only where we choose to join. (Episode 55 - The University of What It Is)

The new episode brings back up the question, what is Cecil's full name?
Most of us assume Gershwin is his middle name, but there's always been confusion on if it's actually a hyphenated last name (Gershwin-Palmer)
On the WTNV site you can find a list of character names and how they're spelled, and it's not hyphenated there
But if you search through the scripts, it's a mixed bag
Yes, he is more often referred to as Cecil Gershwin Palmer, but it's always when he refers to himself (33, 65, 127, 182, 206)
Wheras, others always refer to him as Gershwin-Palmer. Lubelle in 225 calls him "Mr. Gershwin-Palmer" twice, Sara Iyer of the Purrrcast in 190 receives an email from "Cecil Gershwin-Palmer", and Station Management in 217 address a memo to "Cecil Gershwin-Palmer"
The only outlier is when Cecil himself is naming Khoshekh in 159 "Khoshekh Gershwin-Palmer", which is where this whole debate even started I believe
But, now with Esteban referring to Cecil's father as "Grampa Gershwin", the issue has been dug back up
Could it be because Cecil seems to not be mentally able to retain any information on his father, that he just assumes Gershwin is his middle name? Perhaps he 'accidentally' writes a hyphen on any important documents like the cat show entry forms or an inquiring email to a podcast? Or perhaps it's still up to viewer interpretation, like most of the show

I am caught up on WTNV for the first time ever and um… what do I do now??? Start over from the beginning? Do you have any favorite/ go to episodes to listen too when you’re feeling the withdrawal?
(I adore your blog btw your art makes me feel big complex emotions about the podcast people)
fear not brother, theres a new episode tonight!
i kind of jump around, but any episode where cecil is going through it or i think he’s talking about his life/childhood i really enjoy, Cassettes, A Trip to Europe, It Sticks With You, it doesnt hold up, Go to the Mirror, the Delivery Man, Antiques, [Best Of?], The Tarot Reader, Liminal Spaces, and of the Guidelines episodes, or the A Story About You, Us, Them, i really loved the pilot arc (with the planes), Matroyshka is a huge favorite of mine, Summer 2017, Night Vale USA…… but also silly ones like Team Having Fun, the chen friendz podcast one, WATER FAILURE, the audition, god any episode with leonard burton is my life and joy…….some of the lee marvin ones are really good…….
God i could just keep going…. Theres so many i really genuinely enjoy, i didnt even get into the janet episodes or kevin ones,,,,. God.
Anyways, thank you for the compliment <33 have fun listening all caught up tonight!

what's your doctor who wtnv crossover like? 👀
i am so glad you asked! (category 7 adhd event to follow)
so our doctor is cecil (no assigned number since i didnt want to cram the wtnv characters into a doctor who plot line when it would be so easy to make a new one special for them (though cecil does come from a welsh surname meaning sixth (among other things) so he could replace the 6th doctor? it doesn’t matter either way)) and while his name is, as always, just ‘the Doctor’, he lets carlos call him cecil as a treat cause they’re in looooooove <33 (he used cecil palmer like john smith when they met and carlos really like the name (it’s so i don’t have to completely erase either ‘the doctor’ or ‘cecil’ and i think i’m awfully clever) anyways he’s like doctor-weird plus cecil-weird, because they’re all so fucking bizarre (affectionate) he kicks off the fic adjusting to the new body and i felt the need to acknowledge the fact that cecil is usamerican while the doctors generally are Not (is a good fic if you don’t slander your own accent a little bit?)
i considered making carlos the doctor, because he’s. you know. a scientist and not a silly goofy gay who works in community radio, but since so much of cecil’s story revolves around him not being quite as person as the rest of the people around him, about him losing track of his age and everything he’s been through, of him canonically dying multiple times, about his relationships with family and parenthood (etc) i just felt like it would be such a waste to not make him the doctor, yk? (i also considered changing up what it meant to be the doctor to include cecil’s title of ‘the voice’ but that felt like too much so we have doctor!cecil now)
so that means carlos is the companion, he’s introduced while studying the phantom ocean which was actually just like. a big weird alien fish. then they go to the dog park and the desert otherworld and have a bunch of doctor who-ified wtnv adventures together (like lee marvin‘a birthdays, the whispering forest, the auction, etc… but make it dr who sci-fi)
i know most of the actual episodes are the doctor saves his companion and Others, but i’m such a sucker for ‘the doctor needs help’ that i wrote in four chapters of carlos saving doctor!cecil (technically could be six, depends how you count it)
and we finish off with a daleks confrontation which takes place during the blood space wars, because you have to have the daleks at least once, and it’s a good cap on a fic
i’ve made it 13 chapters long, cause all the new who seasons are well. 13 episodes long. and i’m considering doing a (not-)christmas (because even though doctor!cecil wouldn’t be jewish it would be incredibly ethically fucked up if i just. chucked a canon jewish character into a christmas landscape w/out acknowledging it) special afterwards as is customary, to follow the bbc’s standards
i am literally so invested in this fic i’ve written the first three chapters so far and they’re all like double my usual length and i’m considering making them longer because i think there’s still more i could add.
anyways thank you so much for asking i am in love with the world i have created. (would you like the link to the doc? (im so proud of this i want everyone to read it and i only want to post it when i know that i have enough of a buffer for regular updates, given how long the chapters are) (obviously it’s fine if you don’t want to read it no pressure))
here’s a drawing of doctor!cecil i made (though i changed the cape to a tailcoat because it felt Better)
Tumblr media
[ID: a black and whit pencil drawing of cecil as the doctor. he’s got dark skin and graying black hair. he’s wearing a puffy-sleeved shirt under a vest and a loosely-done tie. he’s wearing a bunch of jewelry, cat-ear headphones, and star-shaped glasses with beads on his glasses chain. he has multiple chains and beads handing from his belt and is wearing back pants with white pockets. he has a cape tied around his neck and in one hand he’s holding the sonic screwdriver, which he’s looking at and smiling. beside him it says ‘the Doctor (a.k.a. cecil)’ End ID]
i did draw carlos but he’s just like. some guy and i’m honestly not proud enough of that to post it here.
ok i think that’s all (it’s not but you get it)

Pls do not try to piece together a timeline, you will just hurt your brain (theres no timeline btw. A lot of facts contradict each others timelines
Anon, your concern is sweet...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Two big WTNV timelines drawn on a gridded background in a notes app. They have events, years, and episode numbers. The first one is a general Night Vale timeline that focuses on Cecil. At the top is a magenta timeline mapping out the beginnings of Night Vale and Cecil's internship up to November 7th, 1983. From there, a Night-Vale-purple line branches downwards, which has a few events from the series. The branch is labeled "Huntokar's meddling," and black marks places where the timelines met up. There is also a blue-purple line for the timeline in 33: Cassette, and one russet mark at the end of the canon timeline for 171: Go to the Mirror?
Image two is a Cecil-centric timeline, again in Night-Vale-purple. It starts from his probable birth around 1970 and lists childhood events (including unique blue text for 182: It Sticks with You), and it also covers information regarding his mom, Abby, and Janice and ends at 2017 with his reconciliation with Steve. End ID]

wtnv episode 33 my beloved

I’m obsessed with this WTNV concept of cardinal designations for things that aren’t directions, so I’m going to write down the lists from Episode 33 so I can find them easier later.
I don’t know what I want to do with them; my first thought was tarot cards but I’m not an illustrative artist so maybe I’ll make edits with them later.
No matter what I do, I’ll find it easier here than anywhere else.
From Episode 33 of Welcome to Night Vale, approximately halfway through the episode, Cecil says this:
“The cardinal directions are North, West, South, and East.
The cardinal temperatures are 35 degrees Fahrenheit, 67 degrees Fahrenheit, 3 degrees Celsius, and 10 degrees Kelvin.
The cardinal locations are a cave, a long abandoned cabin, the bottom of an oceanic trench, and City Hall.
The cardinal emotions are wild abandon, guarded affection, directionless jealousy, and irritation.
The cardinal birds are hawk, sparrow, finch, and owl.
The cardinal names are Jeremy, Kim, Trigger, and Jamie.
And finally, the cardinal sounds are a door slamming, slight movement in still water, popcorn popping, and a standard guitar G-string being snipped with wire cutters.
This has been the Children’s Fun Fact Science Corner.”
