Nightvale’s finest

(announcer voice) AND HERE COMES CECIL NIGHTVALE WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

[ID: a coloured sketch of Cecil Gershwin Palmer, in monochrome Night Vale Purple. Cecil is in front of a microphone displaying an ‘on air’ light, looking off to the side and taking off his headphones, an exclamation mark over his head.

text bubbles around him read;

“Be sure to wish these sexymen luck as they compete to the- oh? One moment, listeners… Well! It seems that I have also been conscripted into this sexyman tournament! I think this would be a good time to go to the weather…” end ID.]

I told the creators of Welcome to Night Vale about the sexyman poll.

im taking a narrative podcast production course, and we had joseph fink and jeffery cranor come speak to the class over zoom

as the final question of our Very Serious QA panel, i told them about the tumblr sexyman poll, with hundreds of thousands of votes, and that cecil still won a decade later. i asked if the power of creating The Sexiest Fictional Man was something that could go to their heads. they couldnt stop laughing.

joseph gave a long spiel about how grateful he is for the impact Night Vale had — he told a story about seeing a fictional flights board in an airport and that it felt so strange to see Night Vale up there. he was super humble and said that Night Vale ‘belongs to the fans’ and takes no ownership of Sexy Creationism.

then jeffery comes in like ‘yeah, what he said, but personally i think it does go to my head’ and giggled and said “It feels pretty awesome.”

LET THE INTERNS LIVE.

no but what about that specific feeling given by

— “head archivist of the magnus institute” ⤍ “the archivist”

— “the weather” ⤍ “a song”

because whatever that is, it's messing with me

cecil is both a fashion disaster AND a fashion icon they CAN COEXIST okay consider: you ever met that one person who pulls off the most ridiculous combinations even though no one else could???? you ever see a celebrity wear an outfit that would look ATROCIOUS on its own but when they style it & wear it you’re like “oh this slaps actually”???? THAT IS CECIL ENERGY, MY MAN!!! THAT IS OUR GUY!! LEST WE FORGET THE FASHION ORB DEEMED HIS OUTFIT WORTHY?????

To September monologue or to not September monologue that is the question

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

#1 radio host and Tumblr sexyman

Decided to draw Cecil, as he rightfully won, and because I’ve started relistening to Nightvale from the beginning.

is no one going to talk about the possibility of wtnv mentioning the tumblr sexyman poll? like the podcasts still running and i’m willing to bet someone on the team caught on to cecil winning official tumblr sexyman and that person has the potential to make this so so funny

voices

The ball is in your court fellas

Summary: Martin and Jon end up somewhere else, and that somewhere is Night Vale.

nothing like waking up at 7am to listen to cecil gershwin palmer horrendously mispronounce les miserables
