Me and the arrogant detective I pulled by giving him MY NAME, WHICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF MY IDENTITY THAT COULD GET ME KILLED

[anonymousaccountuser]

Here guys, enjoy this really old meme I made back when I was in the Penumbra fandom.

[idontknowhowiamhere]

Juno and Peter’s ship name should be Jupeter

Because it’s like- it’s like- like the planet

Edit: So uh- I just got into the podcast like two days ago. I should have looked at fan content before I declared something extremely obvious like I am this generation’s Albert Einstein

[smol-stary-clown]

Anyone else screaming after that last episode?

Like I wasn’t expecting that heart wrenchingconversation! I was literally expecting him to jump out the window before they could talk.

It does remind me about the first time they met though because Juno was climbing out a window just this time it was Peter.

(Also learning how to tag my posts 👍)

Juno Steel doesn't believe in 'Happily Ever After.' Forever Love Day is for saps and suckers who can't see the flowers for their thorns. But, hell, when Peter Nureyev looks at him like that…all he wants to do is stop and smell the roses.

During a series of comical and oddly coincidental events, Juno Steel finds himself trying to enjoy a romantic weekend getaway with his Forever Lo—I mean—his “you know,” Peter Nureyev, along with a few old friends and some new ones. ‘Trying’ is the key word. But old habits die hard, and besides, this mystery isn’t gonna solve itself.

REALLY PROUD OF THIS ONE GUYS so here u go :3 part 2 is on the way...

me and the bad bitch I pulled by being a nerd

[ephemeralgalaxies]

NUREYEV STILL DOESN'T SAY THE LINE RIGHT. IT'S STILL NOT VERBATIM WHAT JUNO SAID. I'M SOBBING.

Juno's version of the line is, "I never want to see you again."

(Juno also says to include the bit about not loving him, but ofc even Peter Nureyev can't lie that well).

Nureyev's version of the line is, "I do not want to see you anymore, Juno." (and later, "I have no interest in seeing you any longer").

Which... it fits more into Nureyev's pattern of speech (as the previous fits more into Juno's), but is still completely changed. Especially when Nureyev asks, "You said it would just take those words to excise you from my life entirely, didn't you?" BECAUSE NO. NO, THOSE ARENT THE WORDS. HE DOESNT EVEN GIVE JUNO THE CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT IT EITHER. IMMEDIATELY STARTS TALKING AGAIN.

After all of that, he comes so close and yet STILL cannot say it to him. The great thief, master lier, professional manipulator, and yet he still cannot force out that little phrase of finite.

Bye y'all, I'm crying for the next month :')

snippet from a fic i’m working on

“Of course, Juno, although I did skip eating so I could get to on time, so perhaps we could go to a restaurant first?” Juno threw a box of cold, leftover takeout at him.

ROUND 1: POLL #2

ROUND 1 ALL POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Astarion Ancunín/Wyll Ravengard:

Wyll and Astarion play out as a story of parallels and contrasts. 

Wyll is a monster hunter, and Astarion is a vampire. However, Wyll can be surprisingly reasonable when he learns of Astarion's true nature, to the point that he makes a "pact" with a player character Astarion to not hunt him if Astarion promises not to drink from innocents.

Both Astarion and Wyll are trapped in a relationship with an abuser--Astarion with his vampire sire, Cazador, and Wyll with the devil he contracted with to receive his powers as a warlock, Mizora. (Spoiler: Both Cazador and Mizora cause monsters transformations in Astarion and Wyll.) The way the two react to their bondage contrasts in interesting ways: Astarion latches onto behaving selfishly, his centuries of slavery without any aid convincing him that he needs to focus on gaining power to protect himself, no matter the cost. Wyll responds to his own abuse by clinging to his folk hero persona, the Blade of Frontiers, leading to him being selfless to the point of great personal cost--at one point in the story, Wyll can choose to (spoilers: be bound into his contract with Mizora for an eternity to save his father--the father that banished him from Baldur's Gate at the age of 17 because of his contract.) There's a good chance for them to push each other away from the extremes of selfishness and selflessness to end up more toward the middle, particularly if you choose one of them as the player character. (Spoilers: Astarion can be talked out of sacrificing 700 souls in a demonic ritual to become the Vampire Ascendant with a charisma check, and Wyll's highest stat is charisma. If you're playing as Astarion, you can offer to use your past as a magistrate to try to help Wyll get out of his contract, and it's pretty in character for him to argue against giving up on ever breaking free from it to save Wyll's father.)

The way their romance paths play out also have an interesting mix of contrast and parallels. Astarion is an incorrigible flirt and very quickly pursues a sexual relationship with the player character as long as he reaches a relatively low approval score threshold, while Wyll refuses sex in his romance until the end, because he wants to have a slow, romantic courtship as portrayed in the bardic tales he loves so much. However, (spoilers: Astarion eventually comes to the realization that being forced to prostitute himself to lure victims for Cazador has damaged his self image and relationship with sex, and admits he was initially seducing a romanced player to try to secure protection for himself. Once he hits that point he asks the player to halt sex in their relationship until he can figure out what he himself actually wants. Between this and dev notes found in the game's script that details that Astarion actually DOES want to have non-sexual intimacy, there's a good argument to be made that Wyll's style of romance is actually much closer to what Astarion truly wants in a relationship.)

Both Astarion and Wyll are attracted to all genders, and make comments indicating attraction to each other. Wyll frequently mentions that he finds Astarion charming and beautiful (particularly commenting on his "well-coiffed" hair), and Astarion immediately responds "Wyll" when asked which party member he wants to drink from the most, and eventually admits (if somewhat derisively) that "Wyll's the sort of prince-type I would have once dreamed of marrying. When I was about thirteen."

And the cherry on top of all of this? You can choose to play the game as either Astarion or Wyll, and romance the other. So you can, in a sense, choose to make this pairing canon, at least in your playthrough.

Juno Steele x Peter Nureyev:

[SPOILER] They're actually insane the had crazy gay sex the second episode and spent the rest of the currently five seasons recovering. They were divorced and then they got married and then they got divorced again and nureyev is trying SO hard to stay divorced but Juno WILL NOT ALLOW IT [END SPOILER] it's all spoilers for everything past the second episode basically

[ephemeralgalaxies]

smth smth the crack in Juno's voice in Final Resting Place when he explains to Nureyev his hypothesis on what the ancient Martian bomb was actually for, hating how he was just like them and hating that he couldn't do the same.

it's that horrible reflection in finding someone who shares the worst parts of you and hear how everyone calls them a tragedy, how no one understands them, how you fought so hard to do something right and can't even do that well enough.

Juno exposing himself to Nureyev, confessing his affections and desires for living, thinking these would be his final words (his final resting place). The way his last words were "it was a gift I... didn't deserve." And then he lived.

(hold on we cooking smth in the brain about s5 but there's a bad storm here so gonna go ahead and send this out)

Gay wrongs tournament, round 3 of the minor bracket

Propaganda:

For Juno and Peter:

One is a thief and one is a PI but (spoilers) they eventually both become thieves! Their second date is robbing a train. They join an intergalactic crime unit and do heists as a married couple. Also juno used to be a cop AND he snuck out om his lover in the middle of the night so those r both bad things. And peter has definitely killed people and will always look out for number one. 

For Wu Zetian x Gao Yizhi x Li Shimin: (propaganda from previous poll here)

They are in a poly and are so morally gray and I love em. The triangle really is the strongest shape

They're gay because they're all bi (literally in Shimin and Yizhi's cases, kinda more implied for Zetian). Zetian and Shimin tortured a man for information (and also because he tortured them first) while Yizhi cooked back in their apartment. They made a plan to destroy their government and take over instead. Yizhi killed his dad because he was talking shit about Zetian and trying to sway his trust in her (it didn't work lmao). Instead of a love triangle (it REALLY seemed like that was what it was heading towards) they all love each other and would (and have) committed atrocities for each other. There's a whole thing about how they're stronger together (like, metaphorically and on the battlefield (Shimin and Zetian pilot a giant mecha together and Yizhi balances them))

They're a canon polyship who are all a bit deranged and down to kill for their goals and/or to protect bae. Two have tortured a man to death together and came home to the third making celebratory cookies for them. 

What's more gay wrongs than trying to take over your country and torturing a man together
