welcome to night vale is dating the magnus archives. they opened their relationship a while ago and so the magnus archives started dating the penumbra podcast, a young podcast but experienced in polyamory. the magnus archives has an extensive polycule of queer fiction podcasts, and welcome to night vale is a little old but still gets on with everyone—the dilf of the polycule, if you will. the penumbra podcast is very involved but not necessarily official with most other podcasts. when you talk to the magnus archives or the penumbra podcast, they go on about their polycule and offer you and your queer fiction podcast friend to join in. does this make sense?

diversity win! the two knights who are both best friends and rivals are bisexual (but neither of them knows it yet)!

Queen Mera: it is a pleasure to meet you Lord Arum

Lord Arum, He Who Rules the Swamp of Titans’ Blooms: (Well I can’t just lie to her and tell her it’s a pleasure to meet her as well because it’s Not. if we had met an hour ago she would have ordered my death.)

Lord Arum, He Who Views Ceding Conversational Ground as a Blow to His Pride: (but more importantly she is the one who exiled my Amaryllis and taught my beautiful, gentle, sweet Honeysuckle to hate and kill)

Lord Arum, He Who Loves His Partners More Than Anything and Will Hold Grudges on Their Behalf: (I may be willing to call you ally, but I cannot and will not forget that I met this man, one of the two loves of my life, as we tried to kill each other because of a war that you and your predecessors have waged on my kind.)

Lord Arum, He Who Has, At This Point, Lost His Train of Thought Entirely: (though I must admit that our first meeting was… electrifying. Seeing my Honeysuckle in combat, moving like poetry through the fabrics as he attempted to catch me before I could abscond with the Queen’s handkerchief)

Lord Arum, He Who Has Just Remembered He is in the Middle of the Most Important Introduction in the Universe Right Now and thus Does Not Have Time to Daydream About Damian’s Lithe Form Moving Through Soft Fabrics: Yes, thank you, Queen Mera. You have good handkerchiefs.

Lord Arum: (nailed it)

Caroline: *facepalming in the background*

So yeah. That episode destroyed me. The end of an era. The end of the second citadel. I cried a lot. But I also smiled. At Marc and Tal making up, at Angelo and Ale getting together, at hyacinth, it was all a lot of emotions. Its so hard to describe how much this podcast means to me. If you all couldn't tell I love the second citadel(With how many quotes I make about it) and the ending felt so beautiful to me. A work of art. And its something where it lefts the characters move on and live their lives. This story is done but they all have new chapters to explore and discover

The thing that felt so perfect to me was the ending of Marc and Tal. The two who started the story off in the same physical place that they started it. Two brothers in the woods exploring the world. But this time changed from where they were in the beginning in an insurmountable way. Full circe but this time the story is different, the characters are the same mostly only in name. We move on to our next adventure with them.

Why did nobody tell me honeysuckle means devoted and everlasting love? And Arum has just been calling Damien that casually?!

[samglyph]

Long time no second citadel art but I really like @damienthepious’s new fic

I’ve pavlov dogged myself into thinking about the penumbra podcast every time i smell fabuloso, specifically the purple one, bc every time i clean my grammy’s house i listen to tpp and i use fabuloso on her floors and i’ve done this for about 4 years.

i love how rilla fell in love with arum because of their shared love of science and magic, while damien just desired him carnally

[murderandcoffee]

*lord arum voice* you want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid, honeysuckle

I love Olala so dearly, she shape shifted into herself but with muscles, who thinks of this
