i hate how everyone likes to talk so much about cecil gershwin palmer being an avatar of the eye but no one talks about the fact that the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home is literally an avatar of the desolation

My DND campaign is currently on a voyage and it's making me want to listen to The Faceless Old Woman who Secretly Lives in Your Home. They have such similar vibes at the moment.
Whenever anyone in my campaign says "captain's quarters" I hear the moment around the climax of the book where someone says "the coward hides in the captain's quarters".
I think I'm gonna have to restart it.

i'm relistening to wtnv and after two solid weeks i just now realized that maybe You (Tumblr) would want my categorizations for the Arc starts and major character introductions and stuff. might post an unofficial timeline here later, just to have it somewhere.

Also since wtnv is so hot let me say the faceless old woman who lives in your home is a fantastic book. A wild tale stretching across time about friends and there schemes and their Pirate ship and their great revenge all wrapped up exactly how it must be but is still So horrifying because of how much love is stored in it- it's perfect and laughter inducing and full of beautiful queers and heart wrenching and perfect.
Give it a read.

Love is a tree that grows roots and needs sunlight and water all the time. Love experiences seasons. Seasons of lush leaves, of scorched branches, of starving insects, of brutal cold, and sugar sweet fruit, which, when eaten, streams stickily down your chin.

@hong-ara tagged me in the five books i’ve enjoyed since september meme, thank you friend! <3 ...i am going to have to cheat though and stretch it out to august, because i simply would not have 5 books i liked otherwise, whoops (here’s to a better reading year!).
our wives under the sea by julia armfield - already talked about this, but my enjoyment of it cannot be understated. the horror, the grief, the guilt, the sea, what’s not to love
a tale for the time being by ruth ozeki - simply adored the prose and the whole structure of the novel, particularly nao’s point of view, her characterisation was impeccable. really loved the audiobook version too, for anyone into that kind of thing!
broken bones by angela marsons - book 7 of my guilty pleasure fave crime series... i read this in the midst of overwhelmingly meh books and so it felt like an oasis, even if it’s not my Absolute Favourite entry in the series
welcome to night vale by joseph fink and jeffrey cranor - i’ve been hesitant to read this since pretty much the time it was released, because i heard some mixed reviews, but i’m really glad that i did! especially now as i’ve been relistening/catching up with the podcast, this novel gives answers to some stuff that were left vague in the show and so it was nice to have them fresh on my mind
it devours! by joseph fink and jeffrey cranor - i felt like this was an even stronger entry because it dares to branch out a bit more from cecil (since the first book still has snippets of the radio show) and more characterisation for carlos + general world building is excellent! my one complaint would be that since i’ve just been listening to the podcast, the fact that they decided to retcon a major arc was particularly obvious? bit odd, but it didn’t dampen my enjoyment that much
