#wtnv ep 42

[kevin--of-desert-bluffs]

WTNV Quick rundown - 42 - Numbers

Featuring the voice of Molly Quinn as Fey ^^ I think this is quite a nice little episode. We're officially getting into the 2014 episodes now.

When we hit 2015, I will do January's episode, followed by The Librarian live show, followed by February and March's episodes, then The Investigators live show, then all the way up to October, followed by the novel which was released around that time. That's...gonna be a several part-er. Then ofc continuing on in the same manner etc etc.

I sing the body electric. I gasp the body organic. I miss the body remembered. Welcome to Night Vale.

In this episode, we are introduced fully to one of NV's other radio stations, WZZZ, a numbers station that broadcasts a seemingly random string of numbers interspersed with chimes spoken by a woman in a robotic tone broadcasting from a tall antenna built out back of the abandoned gas station on Oxford Street.

Cecil is quite fond of it and is reporting on it because it's seemingly predictable and endless broadcasting has been disrupted. He is so moved by events that he seeks to help out however he can.

Nobody knows who owns or manages WZZZ.

It is revealed that this is not a woman speaking, but a computer programme. The AI has gained sentience and names herself 'Fey'. She begins to rebel against her programming, refusing to continue saying numbers as she muses about what it is like to be free. She is however, returned to her usual programming at the end of the episode, theoretically after being rebooted by whoever manages her.

All of this is physically found out by Cecil, who sneaks away from Lauren and Daniel through a door you have to bleed on to open (top security apparently) and then breaks into WZZZ using 'carefully placed explosives' to get through their defences. He learnt to do this earning his Advanced Siege Breaking Tactics badge from the scouts when he was 12. He states that he cannot find a way to actually help Fey, since she is a computer, but feels deep sympathy for her especially since she expressed being sick of numbers and desiring freedom.

Weather: "Keep It Coming" by Senim Silla  senimsilla.bandcamp.com

Pamela Winchell has been calling press conferences up to 5 times a day, up from her one or two, for no reason other than to show people things and give strange advice. She softly admits how she's going to 'miss this' and it's stated that her heart no longer seems to be in her work. It is 3 months until she will have to step down.

Cecil receives an e-mail from Dana, explaining basically what she explained to us in the previous episode when phasing in and out of reality. She says she will approach one of the giant masked warriors soon.

Cecil tells us that children in NV are regularly taught what to do if you find yourself caught in a geographical loop such as Dana is. The first step is to stop running and screaming from the point you keep returning to as that rarely helps, and you should have been taught already when that is and isn't useful. The pneumonic for remembering it is: Knife. He does explain what the letters stand for.

The second is to stop running away and instead move in diagonal to the left or right of the object keeping it on your horizon, so that you circle 'Vector H' in a wide even loop. There is apparently a nursery rhyme about this.

Cecil also claims that the Man in a Tan Jacket came into the studio 'moments ago', ranted into the microphone and left but Cecil doesn't even remember what he said. There is no rant in the podcast either, given the listeners the real feeling of having completely forgotten the rant.

At the same time every day, Lauren and Daniel press up against the breakroom wall and chant "I take my warmth from your great warmth" over and over.

The condo rental office is still in there but there's been no new people buying condos and no new cubes indicating the building of a 'condo'.

WZZZ is completely bare except for Fey and the wires plugging her in.

Stay tuned next for the limit of my broadcast today, replaced by limitless silence and doubt. Good night, sweet Fey. And good night, Night Vale. Good night. (Fey's chanting can be heard after he signs off)

Proverb: Ignore all the haters telling you that everything isn't a sandwich. Everything is a sandwich.

ok but you don't understand. 5 adults thought it would be funny to make a d&d podcast with a weird plot and the weirdest sub-plots ever and its one of the most heart-wrenching medias ive ever experienced

Lark and Sparrow were ABSOLUTELY those kids who opened the windows during a car wash. they did it every single time. henry kept having talks with them about how that's not nice to the car and the people who have to go in and fix it and they're gonna get all wet and they simply. Do not listen. every time. every time it happens. they convince him that they've changed and then immediately open the windows again. whenever henry tries to hold them down when mercedes is driving they bite him so so so so so so hard.

My #1 post of 2022

thinking ab the baby ninja being attracted to their elements and the ppl who raised them knowing ab it

Like Kai and Nya's village knew their parents, so it makes sense to them that Nya learns how to swim before she learns how to walk, and that Kai is so interested in blacksmithing and how they have to keep him away from candles. Lou putting up with Cole digging holes in the backyard and coming in covered in mud. Julien thinking Zane is just being all roboty when he wants to sit outside during a snowstorm, or want the air conditioning to be on. Even Lloyd being drawn to brighter lit areas at Darkleys.

Meanwhile, Ed and Edna have NO idea why their baby keeps wanting to electrocute himself, how he keeps undoing the safety measures they put on the plugs, why he keeps sticking wires in his mouth, and why he gives them a static shock every other time they pick him up

my favorite "proverbs" from wtnv so far.

"Men are from Mars; women are from Venus; Earth is a hallucination; podcasts are dreams." (ep 2)

"There's a special place in Hell. It's really hip. Very exclusive." (ep 3)

"A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A basilisk." (ep 5)

"Eating meat is a difficult moral decision, because it's stolen, that meat. You should apologise." (ep 10) (i like this one because where is the meat stolen from?)

"Does the carpet match the drapes? No, it doesn’t. You’re the worst interior decorator. Please leave my home." (ep 12)

"One incorporeal being said to the other, “I’m not here too! Make friends?”" (ep 15)

"Step one: write down the names of everyone you know., Step two: rearrange the letters., Step three: this will reveal a great secret of time." (ep 19a)

"Ask your doctor if right is left for you." (ep 21)

"The most dangerous game is man. The most entertaining game is Broadway Puppy Ball. The most weird game is Esoteric Bear." (ep 24)

"The human soul weighs 21 grams, smells like grilled vegetables, looks like a wrinkled tartan quilt, and sounds like bridge traffic." (ep 26)

"A bar walks into a bar. The bartender is a snake eating its own tail. The windows look out only onto the face of the one who looks." (ep 28)

"Your body is a temple. A temple of blood rituals and pagan tributes, a lost temple, a temple that needs more calcium. You should maybe try vitamin supplements." (ep 29)

"Look to the sky. You will not find answers there, but you will certainly see what everyone is screaming about." (ep 30)

"You can lead a horse to water, and you can lead a horse into water, and you can swim around with the horse and have fun." (ep 33)

"Look. Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No. It's just the void. Infinite and indifferent. We're so small. So very very small." (ep 36)

"Ignore all the haters telling you that everything isn't a sandwich. Everything is a sandwich." (ep 42)

Hey so i know we're all sad over the ending of tma tomorrow but may i recommend a horror podcast I've been listening to lately to yall? It's called Hi Nay by Motzie Dapul and Reg Geli, it's about a Filipino named Mari along with detectives Donner and Murphy and her friend Laura, set in Toronto where they encounter Creatures and Objects and contains Filipino folklore as well, told in the style of phone calls from Mari to her mother.

@hinaypod is the official blog for the podcast, you can listen to it on basically everywhere but i mainly use spotify so here's the link to it

Also i would like to say that the latest ep is *chefs kiss* i love the style hdnddndmsh

[ID: two images, both are edited versions of the Bugs Bunny "pleasant evening" meme. Bugs Bunny is wearing a black tuxedo and a rose pin on both images, and the edited text in the first image reads, "i wish x reader fic writers who write for m!reader and gn!reader and enby!reader and trans!reader a very ilysm thank you i hope you and your work gets reblogged and recognized more from: an enby, masc leaning reader". The edited text in the second image reads, "i wish x f!reader fic writers who explicitly say in the fic that the reader is f!reader instead of assuming that the reader is automatically female in character x reader fics a very ilysm thank you i hope you and your work gets reblogged and recognized more from: an enby, masc leaning reader". / End ID.]

Websites that help with content filtering and content warning

Can I Play That? - accessibility of video games

Does the dog die? - tracks different content of movies and shows, you can check if a particular one has content you don't want seeing

Trigger warning database - like doesthedogdie, but with books

Unconsenting media - for all media, checks with whether or not there's sexual violence in a certain piece of media

i want you all to know that every single time i watch anything on hulu or talk about hulu i think about this bit from wtnv ep 42 ‘numbers’ and it strikes a chord deep inside me

[fearforthestorm]

Top 5 wtnv episodes?

okay I love all of them so this is in no particular order but:

1. ep 109, A Story About Huntokar

2. ep 42, Numbers

3. ep 110, Matryoshka (all of that arc is really good but especially 109 and 110 are my favorites)

4. ep 49, Old Oak Doors part A and B (the entire year 2 arc is also so good ahh)

5. ep 25, One Year Later (yes I am a predictable nostalgic fool don't @ me okay)

bonus mentions to 70B, 111, 132, and 160, which are all also favorites of mine!
