Welcome to Litsy!

This volume collects the scripts from season one of the absurdly brilliant Welcome to Night Vale podcast plus behind-the-scenes introductions to each episode. This is my brand of weird and I feel no shame about that. Actually, I feel no shame or really any other emotion…I am suspended in a jar of jelly that isn‘t really jelly, just the consistency of what you know to be jelly. Send help. Or don‘t. It‘s whatever.

It took me about four years but I finally finished this! I read it episode by episode while also listening to the Good Morning Night Vale episodes for each one. There were many long pauses in between episodes but I got there eventually! It was nice getting to revisit the early episodes and I really liked the short forewords before each one💜

I've recently gotten into the podcast Welcome to Night Vale! It's so weird and fun. I had heard of it before, but didn't actually give it a listen until I stumbled upon a used copy of this at the store. It has transcripts of the first year of episodes and some other fun bonus content. So far my favorite episodes are "A Story About You," and all the episodes with the Glow Cloud. I guess the cover inspired this weeks mani ?

Reading in my backyard. It's SO nice outside. Finally cooling down 😊

Totally went off-track with my reading plans for the week...

I always enjoyed Welcome to Night Vale, but I'm not good at making a point of actually listening to the podcasts. It was lovely to be able to read the episodes instead. What a fun book! Looking forward to reading the next collection of episodes!

I went to Ikea yesterday and got myself a book cart! I absolutely love it already, it was so nice to move all of my #currentlyreading books into it and away from my nightstand. And it has room for my #bujo stuff too!📚❤️

I read the tidbits for each episode in the book after listening to them on Spotify. I only recently discovered this podcast and I‘m in love! I can‘t wait to keep going with the second book/audio combination.

"And now, a brief public service announcement: alligators. Can they kill your children? Yes."

Today I decided to finally get back to reading the first Night Vale script book and listening to Good Morning Night Vale. I like how I can experience the story again but in a slightly different way than before! #welcometonightvale #currentlyreading #lazymorning

This book collects the scripts of the first 25 episodes of Nightvale. Each chapter begins with a very brief introduction giving a little background in the writing if the chapter or something similar. Fun to revisit if you haven‘t listened to the early episodes in a while. Also a very quick read.

"PROVERB: What has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? I don‘t know, but I trapped it in my bedroom. Send help."

"And listeners: Night Vale is an ancient place, full of history and secrets, as we were reminded today. But it is also a place of the present moment, full of life, and of us. If you can hear my voice, speaking live, then you know: We are not history yet. We are happening now. How miraculous is that? Goodnight, listeners. Goodnight."

"We did not back down. We stood eye to eye with violence and it blinked first. Stand proud, Night Vale. Be afraid on the inside, of course. You are, after all, your own downfall. But stand proud against those predators that would harm your family."

"Dear listeners, stay tuned next for a live broadcast of a man locked in a recording booth, silently staring at the microphone with intense suspicion. And, as always, since always, and for always: Goodnight, Night Vale. Goodnight."

I haven‘t actually listened to Night Vale in a very long time but I‘m revisiting my 2013 self‘s deep love for the podcast by reading the first script book 💜

I just do not believe violence is ever the answer. (It is a question. The real answer is far more terrifying.)

“The sun gave a great shout of light and then, after several hours of thought, quietly retracted the statement.”

“It becomes perfect when you learn to accept it for what it is.”

Man, PTA meetings are scary...is this what I have to look forward to 😳🤔😜?

Watched like five episodes of Parks and Rec with the husband tonight after a really rough work week but for some reason I‘m feeling wired still. #Chloe and I are up too late to start a new book, but we‘re going in anyway. 👍 @MinDea Doesn‘t she have such a baby face in this picture? 😻

Oh yeah! I already read a book that works for #litsyAtoZ #letterF! These compilations of the first two seasons of Welcome to Night Vale podcast episodes (with commentary before EACH ONE) are amazing. You can't beat listening to the podcast, but this is a great way to catch another layer of understanding and get genius background info on the podcast, process, and people. A million stars to these wonderful weirdos. #recommendsday

All of this behind the scenes commentary is killing me 😂

Gonna try to get this one done today ☀️

Sick day, with some old favorites in book form ❤️ #sickday

MORE PINS! I definitely have an enamel pin obsession. 😍

This was so great! I love reading the episodes rather than listening to the podcast. For some reason, I just can't pay attention to audio books or podcasts, so this format is much better for me. If you have the same issue and you want to see what Welcome to Nightvale is all about, then I highly recommend this book. If you're already a fan, then this is a great way to revisit the older episodes.

Switching to audio books to give my eyes a rest. #24in48 continues with Night Vale...

A #NightVale kind of night. 📚🤓

This is one of my favorite welcome to night vale episodes and I enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed listening to it. #weirdread #goodfiction

Got in another argument with my mother over politics (I will not start, but let me just say she needs to get out of her own head more because the voices in it seem to be the only ones she is listening to) so I bought myself this pretty. I am definitely considering a welcome to Nightvale tattoo for my 27th bday

This last paragraph from Cecil about the live show just speaks to me in ways that Nightvale has always spoken to me. ---------- My mother died last week and I was just now able to be in my home with my cats and boy and feel things I needed to feel. And this observation just blew me away.

Sometimes the best/only therapy is laughter.

As I finish my final book of the year, I can't help but look a head to 2017. Clearly I haven't been paying attention to my growing TBR pile! Oh well 😂 #BookwormProblems

listening back to some of my favourite episodes from year one of Welcome to Night Vale while admiring the companion art work featured on the Night Vale tarot cards :)

Welcome to Night Vale.

What I feel I should say when a gross dude asks me this. 🙄

Reading this book is almost as much fun as listening to the podcasts. Only downfall is not having Cecil Baldwin's deep velvety smooth voice in my ear.

I could never get into the podcast, but the book is cracking me up! 🤔☠️👻😂

Wonder if reading the text will be way different than listening? Had to bail...with my reading time so limited and having listened to all of these before, time to move on...

Listening while finishing today's #T5W. I love #WTNV so much

#photoadaynov16 #setinasmalltown I just recently started listening to the Welcome to Night Vale podcast and immediately fell in love with it. I haven't read this or the novel yet, but soon!

things to enjoy: explaining greek myth references in modern (?) literature to @utterKATEness while reading about Carlos' perfect and beautiful hair

If I'm looking for #horror, NightVale is my go to! #ScaryRead #AllHallowsRead it's not outright scary (except for intelligent spiders and man eating librarians), but the imagery stays with you for a long time.
