[its-your-mind]

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*

Quanyii I'm actually crying oh my god I miss her

[trashburgersblair]

New Second Citadel episode!!!!!!!

I think Quanyii is 4x more unhinged then she was before and I'm loving it

[fear-no-mort]

favourite thing: his new habit of saying uhuh/mhm and also this

[dontbelasagne]

the last TPP episode description: "We hope you've enjoyed your stay"

me: *violently combusts*

[pidgefudge]

something about how hyacinth is a combination of her parents (part human part monster) and she was made with the magic that olala gave back to the universe

[pyske]

Welcome to the Universe little Hyacinth,

may you be blessed with your mom's brilliant mind, your dad's eloquence and your father's social awkwardness.

if I had a nickel for every time a podcast ended with the protagonists (consisting of a gay couple and an extremely powerful person whose already dead by this point) getting buried under a building leaving their friends outside the rubble questioning where their bodies are, I’d have two nickels WHICH ISNT A LOT

[murderandcoffee]

who would win:

sir galahad the great, undefeated knight of the second citadel

OR

a gun

[laughable-umbrella]

Damien: I cannot find the truth, no matter how I look. at every angle is a gap in what I know for certain, and the bedrock is cracking, Saint Damien, the very foundation of all I know crumbles beneath me. That my love can ally herself with a beast when I when I feel such emotion. For whom I should I should fear to look up-

SAINT Damien: b e g a y w i t h t h e l i z a r d , d r a m a q u e e n

thinking about how no one knows quanyii is dead. thinking about the last time most of them heard of her it was that she tried to kill olala and caroline. thinking about the last time rilla saw her it was when she took her memories. thinking about damien questioning whether she's still a friend being one of the last times anyone talks about her. thinking about how ale and angelo, who traveled with her for five years, don't so much as wonder where she's gone. thinking about quanyii going unmourned and remembered poorly by those who remember her at all and screaming at the top of my lungs

[trashburgersblair]

I'm almost caught up with the Second Citadel and I think this encapsulates my feelings to one Sir Tristan very well

[asexualsoup]

Just finished listening to the final SC episode.

No spoilers but

If you thought the death of Slip was painful

Get ready

Anyway, I can't form too many coherent thoughts right now because I've been crying way too much but I just want to thank @thepenumbrapodcast team for everything they've done over the years. I first started listening mid season two so I guess that makes me one of the oldies.

This podcast gave me everything I didn't realize I was missing from the media I consumed. Everything I watch or listen to or read, I compare to how The Penumbra makes me feel. It wasn't always perfect, but I always had fun. Even when I was in the most emotional pain, crying and screaming and frothing at the mouth, it was because I CARED about these characters and I CARED about their stories.

No other piece of media has successfully made me feel this way before and it's hard for me to believe I can ever feel this way for something again. I think that's the definition of true love, honestly.

Thank you for not only your stories but for helping me find my people online. I have made friends through this fandom I would never had made otherwise. This wasn't just a podcast, it was a place and a people.

As a writer myself, I can only aspire to do for others all that you've done for me.

Thank you 💜

Anyway, back to crying about my girls and gays and Bouquet's ending 😭😭😭😭😭😭

me hearing Rilla and Damien comfort Lord Arum about being scared to tell them of his immortality and discovering love exists yet again because of this podcast
