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!

I don't know if you answer questions, but can you give me some advice on how to make my own sigils?

Oh I'd love to answer more witchy questions from y'all! My best advice for sigil making is just to basically doodle, keep elements you like along the way, and keep changing it until it feels right. Here is the process I took for my "Clear Divinations" sigil :)

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.

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!

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.

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!)

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.
