Cecil Gershwin Palmer

Welcome, listeners! Profile by two lovely humans by the names of https://Cheriiart.tumblr.com and https://kalesbug.tumblr.com I have never seen myself in a mirror, but Carlos says it’s accurate, and my perfect Carlos would never lie to me so... Ask me anything you see fit! Though, obviously, nothing to... Explicit. I know how some of you can be... But other than that, anything!

Hi Cecil! I didn't know you ran a blog specifically just for you!

@thenightvaleradiostation

Shh!! We don’t talk about that here.

Don’t let them know this… but this account is kind of… secret 🤫 I get to have fun in my own little… internet… corner? Is that what the kids are saying these days? Anyway, I like to have a bit of space away from everyone else- (except Carlos, because let’s be honest- that secret wasn’t being kept long-)

Where I can kinda do what I want!

[unofficial-nightvaleradiostation]

Don't worry, boss - your secret's safe with me. (And the Faceless Old Woman - I'm pretty sure she's reading this over my shoulder.)

XOX Intern Aster

P.S. The usual phrasing is "my little corner of the Internet", but you were close enough.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Thank you, Aster, for your discretion. (And thanks for the info- Urban Dictionary has become my best friend at this point but it doesn’t have everything)

Hello Cecil!!! Happy Autism Acceptance Month!!!!

Speaking of Esteban (the cutest little guy in this cold heartless world), who do you think he takes after most? What percentage radio host/scientist is he? Or is he a secret third thing? Perhaps a banker like a certain uncle he's named after?

Alllllso, do you have any plans for Carlos' birthday? I won't tell 🤫😊

Hi again acidicsydney!

I think that Esteban (Indeed the cutest little guy in this cold heartless world) is a lot like Carlos in many aspects.

He’s organised- whenever he’s done playing with his toys, he puts them neatly back where they belong.

He’s really smart- he knows colour theory!

(Well, he knows the names of different colours- that counts, right?)

And he has PERFECT hair.

But he is also very… outspoken. His opinion is always known. Whether it be by asking for uppies, or screaming at two am.

He’s a little extrovert, like myself. He likes to try and make friends with basically everyone he meets (to varying degrees of success, as you would expect from a toddler who doesn’t quite grasp personal boundaries yet)

And of course, (thank god) nothing like his uncle.

So, in summary, at the moment, I would say Esteban is like 44% scientist 48% radio host and like- 8% his own person. (Because, let’s be honest, he’s a toddler. He doesn’t really have a sense of self quite yet)

But! Obviously, he will grow and change over time. And I really don’t care what he happens to grow or change into. As long as my little guy is happy, so am I.

Oh, and I’m so excited for Carlos’ next birthday! I’ve got so many plans!!

I’m going to [REDACTED] and then I’m gonna cook [REDACTED] for lunch, then we’re gonna go do [REDACTED] for the rest of the day! All in all, it’ll be a pretty [REDACTED] Birthday.

I apologise that it’s taken me so long to get back to you. I’ve just been so busy managing the station and getting all of Station Management’s affairs in order that they never got to do because… well people were just to scared to ask. I haven’t really had much time to myself. But! Things should hopefully start to ease up soon.

Oh! And happy Autism Acceptance month- even though it’s a little late.

hi hello i would like to know your opinion on spines. or any other bones really, like the collarbone or just b o n e s in general

I quite like spines. And bones. They’re one of the things that get me up every morning.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Hi there Cecil!!

How are things in Night Vale? What's your favourite part about it? How was your day and I hope you're well :))

- Robin, a fan of the radio show

Hi there!

Things are… okay in Night Vale.

Nothing is going wrong, per se… but- something’s brewing. There’s a tenseness in the air that wasn’t there before. Everyone is sort of- lying in wait.

As for something I love about Night Vale…

I love the mystery.

Things just- happen here. With no explanation, nor any need for it. I adore it. It’s what makes Night Vale Night Vale.

Not everything in life needs an explanation. Sometimes things just- are. It’s one of life’s rare beauties. It’s magical.

I’m doing very well, considering all things. I’ve had a pretty good day. Just me, Carlos and Esteban, enjoying our time together.

I got Esteban this mini ‘rockstar mic’ that he’s been babbling into all day. He’s definitely going to be taking over at the radio station when he grows up!

-Cecil, fan of answering questions for Robin and others.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

So… I guess I’m the new Station Manager… I’m not exactly sure how to feel about my decision except sure. Of all things I am sure of my decision. I know it is the best thing to do moving forward.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

You can make a difference, Cecil! Remember the Telly situation? And didn't the entire town attend your wedding? I think you're one of the most influential voices in Night Vale, under like City Council. (Also hi again! I will be living in your inbox now, it's very comfy)

You do make a good point... People did listen to me about that heathen Telly.

And everyone came to my wedding. That was a great day.

I suppose you're right. I do make a difference here! People listen to me! They trust me! I can change things! I have the whole of Night Vale by my side.

Oo! I can even do that thing where I challenge her alone, then she says ‘yeah, you and what army?’

And then everyone miraculously appears from the wood work! That would be so cool!

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

hie cecil! ( excuse the way i say hi, it’s something i do a lot!! ) :]

how's life going for you?

( an extra thought to keep in mind, opinions on rolling around in a washing machine at full speed? )

Well hie to you too, anaccountsecret!

Life is actually going pretty well for me at the moment!

My podcast is nearly eleven years old, and still going strong!

My son is nearly [REDACTED] years old (also still going strong)

Carlos and I couldn't be happier together.

The only problem at the moment is... Ugh...

Dr Lubelle.

She's becoming stronger with each passing day and it's harming the community badly.

I'm trying my best, I really am. But- I'm running out of options. I just- I’m beginning to question if one man with an opinion and a mic can actually make enough of a difference.

But! Moving on to your other question, that sounds simultaneously horrifying and exhilirating. Especially with other stuff in there- weird, but cool.

Just chillen in Rundle mall

You know how it is

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Thank you for blessing my screen with this gorgeous creation.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Oh, wow, um, great!! Definitely great good amazing :) I'm going to a masquerade ball tonight, so very excited !

And I totally relate to Carlos. Being socially awkward until somebody brings up your interest, and then not being able to stop talking! It's that autism magic ☆ Personally, I can't shut up if someone asks me about Alice in Wonderland (or y'know, Night Vale)

Do you two have any evening plans?

A masquerade ball? Exciting!

And Yes! We do have plans, actually!

We're going to see a musical - Spamton? I think was the name?

I've listened to one of the songs- it goes something like

Now's your chance to be a big shot

Be a big, be a big, bi-ig shot

It sounds pretty cool!

It was done by a guy named Toby Fox? I've Heard great things!

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Hey there, Cecil!

Do you think Carlos has been with you long enough to know how to do your show? What would a Carlos hosted broadcast even sound like?

Ooo! Tell Carlos I said hi!

Sincerely, Carlos fan in MITCHigan

Hello! Carlos fan from MITCHigan... Whatever that is...

Carlos running my radio show?

I've never actually thought of it before...

But now that you mention it, I actually really like the idea! I think he could do a GREAT job, given the chance.

It definitely wouldn't be the same, but it would be just as good, if not better- (I mean, it's Carlos. It would be hard for it to be bad)

As for what it would sound like... I think that the Children’s Fun Fact Science Corner would be a lot more prominent.

There would probably be a lot more science in general, as Carlos can be very socially awkward and closed off when in the spotlight.

That is, when he's not talking about science. Carlos is one of those people that, once you've gotten them started on a topic that they find interesting- there is absolutely no stopping them.

Overall, I get the feeling that the show would be very different (and very possibly three times as long) but great in it's own Carlos-ified way.

I'll tell him you said hi right now!

------------------------------------------------------------

*turns head, looking over shoulder*

Carlos! Honey! Someone named asydicsyndey on Tumblr told me to say ‘hi!’

...

Tell them I said hi back! Oo and ask how they're doing!

*laughs* okay honey! I will!

------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos says hi! And also how are you doing?

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Birthdays go

Birthday? What birthday?- I never mentioned any births.. Or days *nervous*

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

What DID you have for lunch today Cecil? :3

*gasp* FINALLY!

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME ALL DAY (after lunch of course)

Well, *Claps hands together then pulls up a chair, sitting down*

My wonderful Carlos actually made lunch today! He made us a wonderful meal of Salmon and noodles.

It sounds odd, but trust me- it is THE BEST THING.

Soft noodles (ordered from only the finest local Chinese takeout place)

Salmon fillet cooked in foil parcel with garlic, ginger soy sauce, coriander honey and lemon juice. Gently cooked at 338 degrees for twenty minutes.

And finally, the pièce de résistance of the dish:

Oven-cooked kale (until crispy) coated in sugar, salt, and balsamic vinegar.

Just- *chefs kiss* IMMACULATE.

Oh! And I can't forget one of the most important parts: it was made with love. And care. And, you know- by Carlos. Anything he makes is immediately good.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Opinion on bugs. I'm a big fan o those guys

I have mixed feeling on bugs.

One the one hand, some of them are ADORABLE.

Ladybirds? Adorable. (But honestly- quite frightening when they fly)

Woodlice? Cute.

Salmon burgers that turn into spiders the size of footstools, that eat your ceiling tiles? Annoying, but cool.

But cockroaches? No. I despise them with a burning passion and the fire of a thousand suns. They only seem to cause trouble. And they’re no fun.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Are you aware that, to us, you are an anonymous character from a podcast eith no canon form?

I seem to recall an odd man named Joseph Fink saying something of the like, after interrupting my radio show…

Oh! You know him too! Did he get you in on the joke?

*gasp*

Am I being filmed??!!?!

*looks around excitedly*

[not-enough-fandoms]

Does someone have Cecil or Carlos' number? Khoshekh got out of his fixed point in space again. He is fine and well fed but his yoweling screams tell me he is missing his dad's.

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for him!

[cecilgershwinpalmeraskblog]

Hello, Cecil. What are your opinions about spruce trees?

Ooo I ADORE them.

They are strong and mighty beasts, and they give off such a nice scent!

They have an air of warmth and joy about them.

I've seen them on TV fairly frequently- (Esteban seems to really enjoy nature shows, I've discovered!)
