Funny as it would have been, I think it would have been a little pointless seeing as they never made his sexuality a secret. Heck, the first episode features him swooning over Carlos.
I thought interns were simply drafted by a vague yet menacing secret government organization to fill job slots that need filling. Not unlike how scouts are selected.
"Cecil is made of blood and unfinished leather" I...suppose he is, yes. "The butterflies do not inject venom." Well, I mean, that sorta takes the fun out of it...
Cecil can't read the ancient language, but Cecil can read the community calendar. Cecil is the voice of night vale, and if something is part of his job as the town's voice, then he can and will do it, regardless of silly things like not knowing how to do that and physical impossibly.
And before Carlos, apparently he and Earl were a thing at some point, and then there was the boy from Luftnarp that he mentioned in passing. Yeah, i don't really think he's ever been in the closet.
Cecil: and here's what the cat at the radio station sounds like! *unholy snarling* Carlos: OHMYGOD- *Two weeks later* Cecil: Goodbye listeners I'm getTING SUCKED INTO THE CLOSET SOME HELP MIGHT BE NICE- Carlos, sipping coffee: he'll be out in like, a minute
"Desert Bluffs will no longer exist". ... Wonder if this was an intended plot thread or just a happy coincidence, how far out do they plan the story arcs?
MacTechG4 I feel like ,plot wise, there is realy nothing happening because it happens in real world time and big plot points like that are easier to plan than you or I think.
Most likely he was fending off an attack of all the electronic machinery in his lab whilst trying to figure out a way to contact Cecil without getting killed by his cell phone.
Just picturing Cecil calmly being dragged while he's still calm, like "Well deary me, seems like I might be...in a bit of...of...PERIL here...here's the weather!"
But...What if you just got an electricity generator for the computer? That way it couldn't get into the power grid and stuff, so it would be safe for everyone!
I just love how cecil what to help Megan (Meghan (?) ) be happy. I love how he wants to throw away all order just so this child (adult sized) hand can have some joy.
my name is Megan... lets just not argue about who's name is spelled right lol every other Megan/Meghan/Megyen that I have met argued with me about it lol... My mom walked in as soon as the computer said "Megan loves computer" and all that jazz and freaked out and thought it was actually my laptop because I was doing school and TH-cam was on another tab and she told me to get away from it so I had to explain it to her.
I wish the WTNV people would make a channel that was just surreal free-verse poetry, no story necessary, like the computer's 'perfect world' segment. I would love it so much.
In 1986 the US government passed the 18 U.S.C. § 1030 also known as The Computer Fraud and Abuse act. In 1986 (in Night Vale) "The Event" happened causing all computers to be forbidden.
I wonder... if the computer had improved the world as he described, including the erasure of Desert Bluffs (and presumably Strex), would all the terrible events that follow have happened? Oooooooor would he have gone all AM from 'I have no mouth, and I must scream'? >_> Food for thought.
Spoilers for future episodes! I really like this one. It's one of the first times we see Cecil go against the general populaces opinion. He specifically mentions not just Hannah but also that people who need wheelchairs are suffering as a result of this We later find out he has a niece who needs a wheelchair who goes to this school

Love this pod, can't sleep to it because I get woken up multiple times a night to the beginning promo about their merch store and just end up pausing it💀💀💀
"There will be fewer ice cream flavours, but they will be better." Computer for president. I can get behind that.
Me too. I wish they would do that with chips.
Life is like a box of chocolates: I'm trapped inside, and all of my friends are slowly being eaten.

Life is like a box of chocolates: soon to be devoured.
It's too quickly consumed, and once It's over you want more, but It's too late, you ate it all.
And you'll be next
And only the nasty ones are left to rot. Lol
"Tuesday is a joke. a terrible terrible joke" I hear on a Tuesday after an exam
Plus it's when dean dies
I'm hear on a Tuesday 2 years later and It sucks
it's also Tuesday today it's 12 am and I need to wake up at 6 tomorrow
I feel bad for Megan and the computer. Also, tne computer's plans are good, and I bet they could have defeated Desert Bluffs and Strex Corp.
*looks at pc suspiciously*
I felt kind of sad when they unplugged the computer. It just wanted to make the hand happy. Poor Megan....
+AKArainkit like all computers, they just want to make the hands operating them happy
+oomusd Or hand.
"Desert Bluffs will no longer exist" XD
+starrkid94
Wait, isn't that what the episode that just came out today is about?!
WAIT
WAIT
Oh thank god
DAMN IT WHY DID HE SAY "I AM BACK" I WANTED HIM TO SAY " IM OUT OF THE CLOSET"
Babywolfz ME TOO
Bro I thought you said "I AM BLACK" and honestly that's a whole different thing and idk why this is funny to me
Funny as it would have been, I think it would have been a little pointless seeing as they never made his sexuality a secret. Heck, the first episode features him swooning over Carlos.
You know what I wanted? For Carlos to save Cecil...
LittleMissLouis the Apache tracker be like
Cecil probably only went to the school because he ran out of interns
Amber McAusland Either that or he was there for his niece.
I thought interns were simply drafted by a vague yet menacing secret government organization to fill job slots that need filling. Not unlike how scouts are selected.
@x y He has a niece Janice. But at this point in time she has not been mentioned.
"Cecil is made of blood and unfinished leather" I...suppose he is, yes.
"The butterflies do not inject venom."
Well, I mean, that sorta takes the fun out of it...
Not if we (me, Cecil, and Carlos) have something to say about it!
Computer to Megan is like,"I will make you queen of everything you see; I'll put you on the map; I'll cure you of disease."
lets say we went and leave this town
Tãmbler Gurl and turned our future upside down.
lETS PLAY PRETEND THAT YOU AND ME
OMFG l-/
the computer was a simp-
I'm in shock that traffic lights actually turn red and green like normal. Like... woah.
Whos to say it's "like normal"?
Homer simpson: D'oh!
Of course the traffic lights turn all of the normal colors red, green,yellow,blue,violet cyan,tangerine,mauve and §￦¿Ωฯuyop
Okay but Cecil can read the ancient prophecy????? Most likely in a forgotten language??????? Just a thought...
I mean, they said they teach ancient babylonian in classes in the first episode (I think) so maybe?
@@ViridianForests modified/unmodified sumerian but yeah tbh this isn't the weirdest thing to happen in Night Vale
That IS weird...
Cecil can't read the ancient language, but Cecil can read the community calendar. Cecil is the voice of night vale, and if something is part of his job as the town's voice, then he can and will do it, regardless of silly things like not knowing how to do that and physical impossibly.
@@voidpriestess42 I like to think that "modified sumerian" is just sumerian with modern words in it as if it's still a living language
I love how Cecil is literally getting trapped by cleaning supplies, yet he is so professional he brings us to the weather before he goes.
How is it Cecil can sound so silky and sinister at the same time? It's not fair!
I wish I had Cecil's voice...
@@bobbthefox1378 same
I love Cecil. Throwing shade and pleas at the school board to help poor Megan and the children in wheelchairs.
Holy shot Cecil actually spoke out against the cloud and school board
Why don't they get Megan a typewriter?
+Emily Armstrong (GoneIn30Seconds) It's 2013, Emily! Who in their right mind uses a typewriter anymore! Who do you think Megan is, Steve Carlsberg?
I have a friend who uses a typewriter. Seems to work for him. Also, didn't know Steve Carlsberg uses a typewriter.
+Emily Armstrong (GoneIn30Seconds) long live analog! down with digital!
@Hannibal Jack I assumed it was out of fear of what a computer like intelligence would do with power over all of Night Vale's paper?
Forbidden
At first when I heard "normalcy returns to night vale" I freaked out, but then I realized that he meant what was normal to them.
That is some fine weather we're having.
the word from their sponsors sounded like it was issued by Strexcorp, and Cecil's tone made himself sound like Kevin.
thank god i'm not the only one who was very disturbed by that sponser--
FOR REAL
It's funny because he's out of the closet now
When was Cecil in the closet? He's been openly crushing on Carlos on live radio since episode 1.
Maybe.
Aubrey Lawrence tBH XD
nora I just facepalmed so hard
And before Carlos, apparently he and Earl were a thing at some point, and then there was the boy from Luftnarp that he mentioned in passing. Yeah, i don't really think he's ever been in the closet.
Imagine how worried Carlos must get every time Cecil does something dangerous on the radio...
Cecil: and here's what the cat at the radio station sounds like!
*unholy snarling*
Carlos: OHMYGOD-
*Two weeks later*
Cecil: Goodbye listeners I'm getTING SUCKED INTO THE CLOSET SOME HELP MIGHT BE NICE-
Carlos, sipping coffee: he'll be out in like, a minute
@@valerietures9532 It's definitely more like screeching.
Like being completely honest when an evil computer asks him if he loves computers

You mean Evie?

killmenowprettyprett she can try

Life is like a box of chocolates: a gift given to you by people who love you, yet full of things that are bad for your health.
“Cecil is made of blood and unfinished leather”
Well at least we know for sure now that Cecil is... biological...
I think it is more correct to say that he consists some organic materials :3
Well, it just said "blood and unfinished leather" not what type
Noooo, I started to like the computer. He just wanted to make Megan happy.
"-normalcy returns to Night Vale."
o.O
Ikr
Normalcy is simply a myth created by simple minded people who still believe that everything that was, is, or will be can be controlled.
"Desert Bluffs will no longer exist". ... Wonder if this was an intended plot thread or just a happy coincidence, how far out do they plan the story arcs?
presumably this has been on the backburner since Sandstorm
MacTechG4 I feel like ,plot wise, there is realy nothing happening because it happens in real world time and big plot points like that are easier to plan than you or I think.
Trust me 3 years later it seems like they planned faarrrrr ahead with some ideas
//its nice to know that a grown man's hand has the same name as me. Lovely.
Same!

AKArainkit Well it is so now you know
Where the heck is Carlos!?!?!?
Most likely he was fending off an attack of all the electronic machinery in his lab whilst trying to figure out a way to contact Cecil without getting killed by his cell phone.
No that makes to much sense.
Anna Lucas hes trying to show cecil what a non-floating cat would sound/act like
I know right he's probably on his way to help Cecil with his perfect hair
"unfinished leather"
That was freaking depressing, poor computer.
the vacuum part made me laugh.
same XD
-Ashes
Just picturing Cecil calmly being dragged while he's still calm, like "Well deary me, seems like I might be...in a bit of...of...PERIL here...here's the weather!"
+Laura Moore That's most likely what happened XD
Computer is such a pure soul.
life is like a box of chocolates. Only a few people like everything in in, and everyone else ignores what they don't like.
I accidentally fell asleep listening to this episode and had a very creepy dream and woke up in a cold sweat. I wonder why lol.
Sydney Negus Fucking same!
Featuring special guest star Stephen Hawking.
RIP
*cries hysterically when remembering Stephen hawking*
My though
Touché
I didn't expect to see you here, grayfruit!
But...What if you just got an electricity generator for the computer? That way it couldn't get into the power grid and stuff, so it would be safe for everyone!
I just love how cecil what to help Megan (Meghan (?) ) be happy. I love how he wants to throw away all order just so this child (adult sized) hand can have some joy.
"There will be fewer ice cream flavors, but they will be better."
Okay, yep, the computer's good after all.
After those last few minutes I'm just gonna say... CECIL PALMER FOR MAYOR!!
Hyrim McDonald for mayor!!
ok but since my name is actually meghan this is bloody terrifying
ToastChild same
my name is Megan... lets just not argue about who's name is spelled right lol every other Megan/Meghan/Megyen that I have met argued with me about it lol...

My name is also Meaghan, but I bet mine has the weirdest spelling.
One of my favorite hands down
Hahaha...I see what you did there.
Jose R. You deserve a high five.
These puns are getting out of hand.
Wow you nailed that pun
Ohhhohoh....you got jokes don't you?
I love how happy he sounded when talking about fire
he really did sound like kevin
Woah, the weather today was pretty cool!
Shame it was written by a monster.
i know right, those recorders though
I wish the WTNV people would make a channel that was just surreal free-verse poetry, no story necessary, like the computer's 'perfect world' segment. I would love it so much.
Let no one ever say that Cecil doesn't have a soft spot for disabled kids.
"Welcome to computer" is what killed me
In 1986 the US government passed the 18 U.S.C. § 1030 also known as The Computer Fraud and Abuse act. In 1986 (in Night Vale) "The Event" happened causing all computers to be forbidden.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
I wonder... if the computer had improved the world as he described, including the erasure of Desert Bluffs (and presumably Strex), would all the terrible events that follow have happened? Oooooooor would he have gone all AM from 'I have no mouth, and I must scream'? >_> Food for thought.
Poor Megan, poor Computer. Hope Computer can be turned back on some day.
THE SPONSOR SOUNDED LIKE KEVIN KINDA
OwlGirl i know right!
OMG MY THOUGHT so tooooooo
Where was the sponser!!!
YEAH THAT SCARED ME
I KNOWWWW
I am emotionally attached to the computer. Help!
Welcome To Night Vale Episode 34- A Beautiful Dream Starring Cecil Baldwin and Guest Starring Steven Hawking.
I mean, I love the faceless old woman who secretly lives in my house, but I think the Computer would be a fantastic town mayor
Aww, the story of megan and the computer is too sweet.
"Tuesday is a joke. A terrible, terrible joke."
Maybe the events in the previous episode happened on a Tuesday. o_o
When i read the description, all I could think about was "ACTUALLY MEGAN I CANT SIT ANYWHERE"
why does this have so few views Night Vale is the best!
5 years later and I agree😂😅
7 years later I also agree
8 years later I also agree
"Unfinished leather" is by far the creepyest way to refer to skin
Computer had a solid plan tbh, the getting rid of desert bluffs was enough to convince me
Six years later this is still my favorite episode, the one that makes me cry
Spoilers for future episodes!
I really like this one. It's one of the first times we see Cecil go against the general populaces opinion. He specifically mentions not just Hannah but also that people who need wheelchairs are suffering as a result of this
We later find out he has a niece who needs a wheelchair who goes to this school
I can't believe I thought Cecil would make a full on Forrest gump reference
Bro they shoulda let that computer live. He was gonna erase Desert Bluffs!
But then we wouldn't have gotten Old Oak Doors. That episode destroyed my heart in the best possible way 😂
Steven Hawking makes a cameo in today's episode...
ALLL HAILL THE GLLOW CLLOUD
Spyros ALL HAIL
ALL HAAAAAIIIILLL. ALL HAAAAAIIIILLL THE GLLLOWW CLOOOUUUDDD.
I’m gonna miss that computer. *single teardrop*
It's nice that Night Vale's wild cars generally obey the laws
Hearing Cecil sound so eager during the commercial is unsettling.
Strexcorp was taking him over at the time. Strex was starting to seep into his voice. Good thing he overcame it later!
I really really wanted Carlos to save Cecil. Like, really really wanted to.
naturally i listen to this episode the same week my school is having library amnesty day...
RUN LIKE HELL
Jessica Corlichsdcghj my library had trees. What does that mean?
Night Vale has a ham dispenser? Forget everything else, it's a perfect place.
The day that I catch up on these podcasts will be a sad day; I love binging this podcast
but computer, if you fixed everything, we would all be dead. Because that is the only way we would be 'perfect' in the eyes of perfection.
who the fuck are you, Ultron?
nah man
will egbert
Will Egbert is your actual last name Egbert or.....? Cuz the first thing I thought of was homestuck
Awe, poor Meghan, Computer just wanted to help you 😢
I'm not exaggerating when I say this podcast restored my love for life and childlike whimsy, that I quite possibly never had, 10/10 would recommend
Computer is my favorite character
This weather is so nice!
i really like the weather this time. not too cloudy, a bit on the misty side though.
"don't be alarmed is what I said 5 minutes ago" wow Cecil's got great short-term memory
RIP Computer. I actuality cried a little when it died.
wow! tom milsom! i haven't listened to his music in a few years. gosh, what great weather
Eeeeeeeek! During this episode's end my power flickered! I was so scared.
Anyone else hear the computer and have a moment of confusion thinking it was Gary from Red Vs Blue?
Cecil has been attacked a lot recently-
The word from the sponsor sounded less like Cecil, more like Kevin. I'm kind of scared
Fantastic weather, one of the best

i went from laughing at the computer when it took over to feeling sad... when he was talking about the dream..
This ep makes me so sad - they just wanted to build a beautiful world.....
"Fewer ice cream flavors-" WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!?!?!?!?
But they will be better.
Love this pod, can't sleep to it because I get woken up multiple times a night to the beginning promo about their merch store and just end up pausing it💀💀💀
the computer sounds like that satisfaction song that creeps me out
The weather is really really good today
5:30 sounds like Kevin and Strex needs to GET. OUT.

What I hear: I love you bacon
