i....am getting very very very sick and tired of people in the fanbase undermining Juno's abilities, esp his role in the carte blanche in s3. Did y'all like turn your brains off for the entire first two seasons? Juno isn't just some helpless dumbass who complains, that's such an oversimplified mischaracterization. just because Juno has his dorky/idiotic moments, and just because he complains a lot, does NOT mean that he isn't also intelligent as fuck and extremely clever. If he wasn't he would be dead by now. No normal person can go through everything he's gone through and come out alive.

a lot of ppl will insist that "his sharpshooting is all he's got" and like yes his sharpshooting is excellent but he has literally proven to be capable without that ability back when he first lost his eye. he had so much fucking willpower and just got through it all relying on his mind. just because we see him berating himself from his POV for not being a good enough shot doesn't mean that factually he wasn't good at what he did anymore. He's quick witted, clever, intelligent, and thinks outside of the box when he can. Being a good sharpshooter only takes you so far. that skill is nothing if you can't even have the brains to solve the case. the blaster has always served as a resource for Juno, but not his crutch. Like guys there's a reason Buddy wanted him in her crime family. Buddy is extremely cut and dry about things, she will never sugar coat anything. So if she thought that Juno wasn't capable for the job she wouldn't have ever reached out to him. So yeah, I'm a bit sick of people acting like Juno is a liability to the crew when he fucking isn't.

He made a genius plan in the s3 finale !!! he saved everyone in heart of it all because he was the only one to look at things outside of just spur-of-the-moment shit!!! Juno canonically made Nureyev feel embarrassed in man in glass bc he assessed the situation, gathered knowledge, and was observant in a much more effective way than him. He literally has saved everyone's lives several times in the course of s3. and it makes me so upset bc i saw a post where someone point blank said "he’s literally just there to complain, look pretty, pretend to be peter’s wife sometimes, and work through his issues" like???? can yall stop (btw if u know the acc please please dont harass them)

so yeah im angry :^))) let's just appreciate juno's intelligence as much as we do with his dorky/idiotic moments, mkay? in terms of emotional and interpersonal stuff he stumbles, but when it comes to tangibly solving things and getting through whatever case/adventure he's doing, he's dynamite.

tl;dr juno steel is a valuable member to the carte blanche, do not ever fucking forget that.
