#the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home novel

[literarycupoftea]

“But Andre had no interest in women, which lead to worried murmurs until it became clear that Andre did not have any interest in men either. Andre found people exciting, and wonderful to be friends with, and he had no interest in romance with anyone. This was not an absence from his life and it was nothing he regretted for a single breezy, smiling moment. His life was not better or worse for who he was, his life was the only version of himself he could be.”—The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home-Joseph Fink And Jeffrey Cranor. Page 90.

Thanks for introducing me to WTNV it's so silly and great and i love the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home she's great and really nice

also Cecil is so silly

You are very welcome, mate, I introduce people to my hyperfixations unsolicited and for free :3

The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home is so lovely. If you like her, there’s a book on her, titled The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home. Not sure if you can find it in the library where you live, if your town is even big enough to have a library. You can probably find it on an online library though.

I personally haven’t read the book, or any of the books in full — I took all three Night Vale books out when I wasn’t hyperfixated on it, and then only read like half of the first one — but considering how good WTNV is and how good the first half of the book is, it should be pretty good.

I forgot what episode you’re on, but the Faceless Old Woman is a reoccurring character, so you’ll get more of her, which is lovely. Also, the released patreon exclusive has her in it, and it’s like, I’ll talk to you about that later, because I’ve got Thoughts about that (but unlike tma, the thoughts are wholesome, isn’t that nice).

AND YES CECIL IS SO SILLY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HE IS THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE <333 HOLDING HIM SOOOO GENTLY!! I get very emotionally attached to podcast protagonists, but I mean like, am I supposed to not me? They’re so blorbo coded.

Anyway, uh, reviews are in, listen to welcome to night vale.

[cowboyinternist]

The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home please?

i’d vote for her

[podcastpeep]

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.

[gravytra1n]

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.

Before spring break, we had another book report, and I had to do it on another WTNV book. This time, The Faceless Old Woman novel

Y'all can have the art and poem, but not the obituary cause I never finished it :P

Kinda spoilery btw

"A woman with no face"

Washed away by the ocean

Wiped clean by the mist

Singed by the explosion

Missed by the fist

Furrowed and bloody

Stabbed a man with no crime

Left her fiance

Love takes too much time

Saw the grand sea

In search of the bull

No clue it was he

Who had made her life full

Orange trees ashen

They bear no more taste

She remembers his words,

“Where is her beautiful face?”

It’s not in the orchard nor the estate

It’s not in the deadly escape

Of pirates and monarchs, of whom she relates

But knew far far too late

Not in the sea, on the Wasp, or at home

For on the road, home isn’t known

Not with friends, in Gwo dziec, Paris, Toledo

Not Nulogorsk at Ground Zero

She sees his face all throughout time

And she thinks to herself,

“My face isn’t mine”

“But you’ll remember it still

All your descendants will

For each one I must kill

So my revenge is fulfilled”

[dimitrippy]

Sexiest Podcast Character — Night Vale Bracket — Round Γ

Propaganda

Dr. Carlos "the Scientist" Dave Robles

I would have said Cecil Palmer but I love Cecil Palmer too much to submit anyone other than his husband, who he loved from the moment he saw him

"That new scientist, we now know he’s named Carlos, called a town meeting. He has a square jaw, and teeth like a military cemetery. His hair is perfect, and we all hate and despair and love that perfect hair in equal measure. Old Woman Josie brought corn muffins, which were decent but lacked salt. She said the angels had taken her salt for a Godly Mission and she hadn’t yet gotten around to buying more. Carlos told us that we are, by far, the most scientifically interesting community in the US, and he had come to study just what is going on around here. He grinned, and everything about him was perfect, and I fell in love instantly."

huntokar never stood a chance

The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home:

oh come on how is anyone meant to compete with the faceless old woman. she's iconic

Mod note: This is a tournament about podcasts, please do not submit propaganda from the novel The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home

[astralisatlas]

I'm not sure how many people have read the 3rd WTNV novel ('The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home') but Carlos being a Marine Biologist and that line about "You Dr. Carlos Robles, were the son of—".... I'm just saying that that novel has several other characters with strong connections to the sea/ocean that have all some how inexplicably ended up in the desert town of Night Vale (a couple of which have been big players in the podcast). It's just a little weird that it's happened again.

The Rules

1: unless tagged #spoilers, any novel I post will not contain plot spoilers but may contain vibe spoilers or allusion to events; I may talk about what the story is About that the dust jacket or my own synopsis may not make obvious but I won't tell you who killed somebody or a cool twist

2: I'd I post a book here it is because I finished it and liked it, OR I finished it and need to untangle why I didn't. Novels I simply don't enjoy I don't finish anymore, as a rule, but I may break it if something about it compels me to finish it. I've only had to do it twice in the last year, but both novels were so antithetical to my enjoyment that it made me actually feel mad about trying to read them.

3: I'm not gonna rate them. I don't like ratings systems, I'm not gonna try to hammer something into a number, and forcing it is just going to be dumb. I did think about making a 7 point criteria list that if a novel met it I would declare perfect, but that's too much work. Maybe in a lull of books or something I'll hammer one out. If I do, one point will be "did it contain a character wielding a sword flicking the blood from their blade before sheathing it?"

4: no rereads. I have a bad habit of returning to old books series when I have so many books that interest me that I'd like to break, so for 2024 unless I need to for something wild like a series entry I'm not expecting, no rereads.

5: There's gonna be some nonfiction in here. I've got a couple of things at the top of my to-read list that are political or social in nature, but if you're following me or reading these you probably can attune yourself to my political stances to know what's up pretty quickly. That said, I'm gonna talk about social shit occasionally even outside of those, so idk if that's a big deal but, yknow.

6: fuck it, we ball
