JUNO GIVE ME YOUR GENDER

I still need to practice but I think i’ve finally figured out this style!!! I’m drawing Peter next I love that man with my entire heart

this podcast is so good!!

[multifandomlandfill]

I love how Juno has a pretty established fanon appearance but no one cares how you draw Nureyev so long as you (the artist) find him attractive.

[not-a-hawk]

logically i know that juno's cyber eye probably just looks like his normal eye but in my heart that shit is visibly robotic

[moosha-mushroom]

Media I imagine different fiction podcasts in instead of the media of being a podcast.

TMA: A selection of volumes, relating to the fears, each with those removable covers. Those covers has a victim or two, and then underneath the cover is a really detailed cover. The paper is decoratively ripped, with a kind of scraggly font, and each has a foreword and ‘author’s note’ from Jonathan Sims.

Malevolent: A really gritty graphic novel with deadly detail in each panel, and very little color. Maybe a trinket on each important character has a color? Like Arthur’s eyes being yellow or Oscar’s collar having a blue sheen to it. The novels are long, dramatic, and intimate in a visceral way.

Welcome to Night Vale: Local 58 bullshit. A broadcast on television with low quality images and audio, tacky music, and a kind of 80’s aesthetic. Each episode the words WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE zoom onto the screen, the purple eye behind them. And each weather segment is an animated short by a different artist.

The Penumbra(Juno Steel): A webcomic. Hours spent scrolling downward a comic that has so much color and GEOMETRIC design. Juno and his curvy jaw, brown pie slice eyes, a cartoonishly high collar for his investigator jacket. Nureyev and his sharp square jaw, shimmering jewelry, and stick legs. Characters sticking out of the panels, fonts changing constantly, a little blue Juno that does his narration and *guitar theme plays* each time he appears.

Wolf 359: A classic comic. Issues month by month. Different special covers of the characters in extra dramatic poses or scenes. Even MORE panel breaking than Juno Steel. So MUCH onomatopoeia, even for small things like the clink of a panel or the disapproving hiss of Hilbert in the background. Geometric designs like Juno Steel, but less colorful. Like the superhero art style mixed with a more stylized look.

Midnight Burger: You pull up the Midnight Burger website. They have a hidden page that has a sort of script-comic thing going on, where the art is next to the writing. Small coded in notes from Leif sometimes pop up if you hold your arrow over the art. Links are attached to the parts where Effie and Zebulon play music, linking you to the music so you can listen to it while you read.

Desert Skies: An animated show. Indie, something you’d find on YouTube. The animation is bouncy and incorporates 3D animation alongside the 2D. Maybe the Sphere Movers have 3D models and the staff don’t? The credits are short because it was made by one guy. People are complaining about it on Twitter /j. People are making content farms about it. Everyone is pissed at Corson like they’re pissed at Jax.

The Amelia Project: A sort of simulation video game. You play as Arthur. You listen to their stories and draw pieces of the tale to invent their death. Every once in a while the game transitions to a point and click suspense game where you solve puzzles as Cole and Haines. Maybe there should even be an Operation-esque part of it where you work as Kozlowski.

Ghost Wax: A novel with a lot of pictures spliced in it. The stories are all in a single book, though the book is through Luca’s perspective— so he picks up on the ghost’s body language and Voncid’s reactions. The pictures are tarot cards with each victim as a card. Some are repeat cards— Lorem does not have a card at the end of the story. Nor does Our Home or Evening at the Ardent. The pictures are only white with black line art. No color whatsoever.

Kakos Industries: A company newsletter. Not a broadcast. A newspaper that arrives at your door and has big bold letters with the main story and pictures of the events that happen in the story as it goes. And the Sunday Comic page is full of employee shenanigans. Some innocent… some not.

I am losing my mind.

[fallenfromtheskies]

and on the right you can see juno steel in his natural habitat, on a deadly case as a private eye with rita, enjoying the aesthetic of a brooding detective, running after people shooting at him, and tracking down a certain master thief

[glitterpricked]

listened to juno steel and the man of the future this morning and wow i have thoughts. i feel like it affirmed everything i said about heroes in my last post, but it also made me think a lot about the free dome.

there are a lot of obvious parallels between ramses o'flaherty in this episode and erin d'arc in juno steel and the promised land. for one, they both present themselves as people of the future. however, d'arc sees what the past and present have done to her world and her people, and she wants better; she is moving towards the future. in contrast, i would argue that ramses is running from the past. he is a man characterised by desperation and guilt and shame, and he has spent his whole life trying to assuage those feelings. as juno says, he is "self-righteous": he has his own stubborn view of what hyperion city ought to be, and he will carve out that idea regardless of what others think. d'arc, on the other hand, does not carve out a new world from what already exists, but creates one where she thinks no harm can be done.

for this reason, i think you can argue that ramses is more similar to marshall d'arc. marshall's work in the free dome was done partly out of obligation; his mother began the work, so of course he would continue it. but he sees his mother's idealism as flawed, and rejects the idea that anyone and everyone can find a home in the free dome. his sense of value is based on greatness, and he will only accept the greatest. while marshall is very open about this, ramses shares the same values in a more conniving way: he uses the theia, in its multiple incarnations, to mould Goodness in his image. marshall will take in only the best of the best, and that is partly why the free dome could never succeed (although of course there are a lot more reasons, like literal radioactive madness, but i digress). ramses, however, will carve out greatness no matter the cost. he argues insistently that he has always wanted what was best for juno and his mother and for everyone in hyperion city, but his idea of "best" is selfish and flawed.

while the free dome's biggest issue was its very location, newtown doesn't have that problem. but newtown will fail (i haven't finished the season yet so i guess i'll see) because ramses doesn't care to understand the very people he claims to want to save. another parallel between the d'arcs and ramses is that they're ostensibly very intelligent. but this season highlights that idealism and selfishness and self-righteousness can make that intelligence crumble to nothing. erin d'arc leaves spaces in her code for the future generations, but she and her free dome succumb to their inevitable mortality. ramses o'flaherty plans out every possible conversation with juno to win a single debate, but he succumbs to his own inevitable mortality.

his stubborn need to be right pushes him to persist and persist and persist, despite knowing his heart condition has weakened him. his guilt pushes him to places juno steel wouldn't go with a gun, the same juno steel who fights his own guilt in this episode when he talks to mick and rita about his selfishness. ramses has the audacity to accuse juno of being an idealist, but i think this episode shows that juno is no longer fleeing from his past the way he was before. nor is he desperately grappling for some great distant future. if ramses and juno are on different sides of "Good", it is because juno is living in the present, not in some twisted fantasy where a statue of andromeda in an aesthetically pleasing park is an attempt at an apology to a dead woman.

[ceaseless-rambler]

ALRIGHT TIME TO TALK ABOUT JUNO STEEL (s5e1 spoilers below the cut) (finally figured out how to do that! I should press more buttons)

Okay I was PLANNING to grab screenshots of the transcript but I can't find the transcript in the folder so I'm going to have to relisten to those bits and type it (so that turned into an entire relisten and reaction. Oops)

First. "Because he's- he's- aarghh something incredibly unkind that I'll regret saying later" JUNO STEEL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FUCK YES I love visible proof of him working in himself, how it's not just "oh I'm better now" but actual effort into being kinder. I love him and his arc is everything to me

"I'm Juno Steel. I'm a private eye" the DRAMA in how he said that I love it

Cassandra my love <333

"Harrassing is a strong word" "what would you call it then?" "Oh, oh, uh, harrassing. I said it was a strong word, not the wrong word" he is everything to me I love him so much

"No sarcasm? No bad jokes? No insults?" "Reading's not all I learned how to do over the past few years" MORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HELL YES

"My thief" HIS THIEF HIS THIEF HIS THIEF

"Could Nureyev have written that card?" Even without later events, I don't think we'd be lucky enough to get Nureyev immediately. My expectation has been that Juno will Just Miss him for like, two storylines before we catch up, but I do hope I'll be proven wrong

Carrie Gold (derogatory) OH HER NAME SOUNDS LIKE "carry gold" THAT'S GOOD

"I'm no art critic, but I know enough to say this much: [noise of disgust]" SO TRUE

Warner is so blind actually this play sounds like it's an allegory for how he does things. Offering something the artist needs (freedom, money) for something counterintuitive to art (perfection, the use of various things the artist Does Not Want). Actually that's just how the entertainment industry is, both the "blind to allegories" and the actual allegory. Wait Warner like Warner Bros???

"Everyone can definitely tell how good an actor you are" the noise I made at this line

Nureyev fiddling by picking locks is everything to me

"The spooky abandoned theater vibes were really goddamn good! I can't say how cool it feels to brood mysteriously on an empty ghostlit stage. I mean c'mon, the aesthetic is part of the PI gig" I ADORE him. Literally me.

Carrie is making me suspicious and I don't think she has it in her to orchestrate anything like this ("it" being intelligence or motive) so I wonder if she has something Else going on. Then again I could also just really not like Carrie

"I'd been so caught up in protecting the chimes I forgot to protect myself too" CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT s1 juno would not have cared about that

I'll make another post with my theories on the actual case but I am. Aghk I love this podcast

[imgonnagetkilledbynutstink]

SO happy about Juno Steel being a Private Eye again in this season, he’s my favorite detective with his silly mood lighting and seeing-Nureyev-in-everything

Sorry this took me all day to get to and yes by far my favorite thing about this fool is how much of a simp he is and I think him caring about aesthetic now is maybe the most important part of his character development. Also yeah it's really nice to see him detectiving again because now he actually really enjoys it. Obviously he loved it before, it was always his calling but it was hard and he only seemed to love his job under certain circumstances, but now that he's taken time away to find himself he can appreciate it so much more and for the first time being a private eye actually feels like his element

[tauremornalome]

juno "the haunted theatre vibes were AMAZING, honestly im kinda mostly doing the gig for the aesthetic" steel i love youuuu

[m0nochromem0use]

tell me everything about monster of the week it sounds interesting i want a paragraph please please please

WONDERFUL monster of the week is a powered by the apocalypse ttrpg. that means it’s based off the monster of the week genre where there’s a different monster or antagonist for every arc (think buffy, supernatural, the x files) and the driving force behind every plot is the apocalypse (which can mean a bunch of different things, but usually translates to the monsters killing a whole bunch of people). the players are various types of monster hunters who have to work together to investigate the monster or antagonist of each arc, find their weakness, and then stop them from killing a whole bunch of people. you only use 2d6, and rolling works on a success, mixed success, or fail system- 1-6 is a fail and you don’t do what you wanted to do, 7-9 is a mixed success and you do what you wanted to do but there’s consequences or you only do some of what you wanted to do, and 10+ is a success and you get to do what you wanted exactly how you wanted to, sometimes with added bonuses. there’s a whole lot more mechanical stuff i could explain but it’s a very simple system especially compared to d&d, and it’s easy to find free pdfs of the rules online which i implore you to do if it interests you because it’s super fun!! it’s a mystery focused game so there’s a lot more roleplay and investigating than combat, which is part of the reason i like it so much lol. also, similar to call of cthulhu, the game master is called the keeper!

NOW what i was talking about in that post. the different types of monster hunters are the classes of this system, called playbooks. they’re what determines the skill sets, moves, and general vibe of each player character. some are professional or experienced investigators, some are magic users with funky powers, and a couple are straight up otherworldly beings or monsters themselves! i’m sticking to the classic playbooks and the playbooks from the tome of mysteries expansion for my picks for the jrwi boys, but there are also a ton of awesome homebrew playbooks out there. you can find a huge masterlist of them by just looking up “motw playbooks”. ANYWAYS here’s the playbooks that i think the jrwi guys would pick:

charlie

the mundane: charlie seems to love a good just some guy character and that’s literally what this playbook is. they have no special powers, no expertise on monster fighting, NOTHING they are just a dude. i think he’d find that extremely entertaining and also figure out a way to make it incredibly angsty

the initiate: basically a cult member and the closest thing you can get to being a warlock in motw, which was in my head because i listened to the suckening rolled earlier today and charlie mentioned how regardless of what setting he’s in in a game he’s always looking for a way to make a pact with something LMAO. the playbook also has a lot of built in dubious morality on the side of the cult, which i think he’d have fun with

the chosen: this one feels obvious, with how often he plays characters who are chosen ones. the chosen playbook also tends to be quite tanky, at least every time i’ve seen it played/played it, which i think he’d like. plus you get to customize your own weapon and i think he’d have fun making a sword that can kill god

grizzly

the gumshoe: a classic detective type. i honestly have no proper reasoning for thinking grizzly would pick this playbook but the vibes are right for some reason. i’m picturing arthur style brooding with a noir detective vibe, a juno steel type character yknow

the divine: in terms of aesthetics, this is rumi if she was a monster of the week character. the playbook comes with a cool divine weapon that does a shit ton of damage but the move set is geared way more towards support, and i think it’d be interesting to see grizzly play a support character

bizly

the crooked: bebo plays a lot of criminals what can i say. the crooked playbook has specific backgrounds, and i think he’d have fun with the charlatan or fixer options. this is also one that you can take in a much more cartoony direction if you want which i think suits him

the wronged: the thanatos of motw playbooks babeyyyy. the wronged is all about losing someone you cared about to a specific type of monster and dedicating your life to hunting them down. again, very thanatos, but a lot of bizly characters have the theme of searching for someone they lost or attempting to make up for not being able to save those people, which is one of the most common routes i see played with the wronged

the flake: the timothy rand of motw playbooks! bebo loves his paranoid conspiracy theorists! this one i picked because i think he’d find the move set funny there is a move that rewards you for doing the opposite of what someone advises you to do, and one that’s literally called crazy eyes. very chip very rand i think he’d have fun

condi

okay condi is the hard one because he doesn’t really have a “type” the way the other three do. i honestly think that out of all of them he could take any playbook and make a really interesting and character out of it. my top picks would be the spellslinger (cool magic user) the spooky (little freak), and the searcher (little freak but without supernatural influence), but more for vibes than anything. again i think he could pull off any playbook

thank you for coming to my extended monster of the week ted talk hope you enjoyed

[veganbear]

So at work I started to listen to a podcast by @thepenumbrapodcast, Juno Steel and I love it.

Got through the first season and ogh.

Characters are like, hardly described at all so this is all my interpretation, I can explain some of my choices and personal headcanons for designs.

So the reason why I gave Juno long hair is that honestly, I do not understand gender in this podcast. I can not tell if Juno is a man or not (most likely is, but I keep being confused) so I have him long hair so he could more easily swap in my mind between being female and male. Accidentally genderfluid Juno, oops.

Rita wears yellow glasses because she would wear silly glasses to the office.

Peter's look took inspiration from Aziraphale. Not that I've seen Good Omens, I just think he fits his voice. Additionally, always wears a white tux because he likes the aesthetic (Though gets annoying with the blood that's usually spilled with him around).

Also I would have loved to make them look more martian and future like, but I don't have the creative juices right now, I'll redesign and color them later.

Hit Me, Kiss Me

by yours_featherly

The Carte Blanche is one of the few remaining fighting cages in Hyperion City where creds are bet on an exchange of fists. Some fight to feel alive- like they forget they’re breathing until the air gets ejected out of their lungs. Others fight because they have nowhere else to go or perhaps to escape to where their biggest fears can’t find them. Regardless, in the ring, it is never just a fight with one other person but also with yourself, and victory of the former doesn’t guarantee one with the latter. If you are Juno Steel and you find yourself stepping into the ring up against a man who’s sharp-toothed grin outshines the darkness of his ever growing shadow, you may be lucky. You may finally find the reason you fight and a reason you want to win.

A very gratuitous cage fighting AU with Hyperion City aesthetics, Juno Steel flavored self-recovery, Carte Blanche family finding, and Peter Nureyev’s inherent homoeroticism.

[shittykinaesthetics]

Shitty Juno Steel aesthetic: okay i literally can’t write anything funnier here than his entry on wikipedia. i read the words “whose best quality is making enemies” and i blacked out with how succinct a call-out that is. me too buddy
