#marc tpp

[eternal-flame]

you know, I was relistening to Head of the Janus Beast today, and had a thought. what if Caroline is going to be the one to convince Marc to get his head out of his ass already ultimately side against Tristan?

they always had narrative parallels going on, what with both of them not being taken seriously by the knights and desperate to prove themselves no matter what. that is literally the first thing we find out about them! in the very first second citadel episode! in a way, Marc is undergoing a nearly identical arc to Caroline, but with a delay. now that he's powerful and respected, he is actually more or less in exactly the same position as she was in season 3. you know, the season where she realized just how much the knights suck and left?

okay, this got really rambly and I don't know how to end this properly but I hope you understand what I mean

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 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sometimes a family is a woman who's been through literally so much shit and assumes everyone will turn on her, her absolutely unhinged witch wife, the preteen shapeshifter they accidentally adopted, said preteen's himbo uncle, a badass swordsman with commitment issues, and the polyamarous monsterfuckers they talk to sometimes

Canonically disabled characters in podcasts cause I feel like it

- Juno Steel - The Penumbra Podcast (visually impaired)

- Rudyard Funn - Wooden Overcoats (technically not canon but basically has every symptom of autism)

- Arthur Lester - Malevolent (visually impaired)

- Brain Jeeter - The Strange Case Of Starship Iris ( has a disability that gives him trouble breathing though I don't remember if they specify exactly what)

- Lucille Kensington - Where The Stars Fell (I believe chronic pain though I admit I haven't listened to the show. She uses a cane)

- Nicholas Waters - Archive 81 (chronic pain. He uses a cane)

- Sydney Sargent - Camp Here And There (psychosis, autism and chronic pain)

(extra fun fact all these characters are canonically queer accept Arthur though ppl are still holding out hope for him)

Marc: I'm not much of a chemist but to be honestly you don't need to be to blow something up

damien after realising that 'salamander' was in fact other knights being ableist towards marc and not because marc is slimy

[echidnacht]

The disableds!! I love them both so much

[yourlocalspacecryptid]

Cosmo goes insane over the new tpp episode!!!

They are feeding me so very well with all of this Ale and Angelo content

I want to murder Galahad with a brick, every time he talks the feeling grows stronger

my hopes for a Marc redemption arc have been raised significantly by the end scene

speaking of which, OH MY GOSH Lord Arum honey :(

any Ale content is a win in my book, he’s so silly!!

Angelo has two brain cells and both of them are laser focused on keeping Ale from getting himself killed

I need to draw them so bad omg

My second citadel fancast 🥰🥰🥰

Damian:Tom Holland

Lord Arum: The Rock

Rilla: Gwyneth Paltrow

Sir Angelo: Jared Leto

Alé: Jensen Ackles

Sir Marc: Johnny Depp

Talfryn: Chris Hemsworth

Quanyii: Scarlet Johansson

This is satire

[nerdetiquette]

I think until this episode, I was under the impression that Marc would come around but with the most recent episode it looks like that’s not happening. I get that he finally was able to win in the system that beat him down for so long, but I just kinda thought he’d do the right thing eventually for the sake of all his friends. I mean really, his basically sister is dating the people he’s trying to kill. The venom in his voice right before he left settles everything though. He never even tried to change, not really. Prejudice is something you need to unlearn, and everyone is a casualty of their upbringing, but they all gave him ample time. No wonder they weren’t talking to him season 4.

the sportive nymphs (part 1) thoughts;

sir angelo is so, so, so, so stupid, and i love him so, so, so, so much

the antagonistic brothers-in-law energy between sir marc and sir damien is outstanding, 10/10, no notes

sir talfryn my asexual beloved, i see you. i see you.

[asexualsoup]

Probably not gonna happen this season, and also given last season's 💀✨EVERYTHING✨💀 it is pretty much irrelevant, but I'd honestly love to meet Tal and Marc's parents.

I want to meet the people that took Rilla into their home and raised her, despite the dark reputation of her exiled parents and her own interest in magic.

I want to meet the people who helped Marc find creative ways to stay mobile with his disability. Given that they're from the carpenters' quarters, I'm guessing they're ingenious builders themselves and I'd love to see the things they're proud of making.

And, most of all, I want to meet the woman that bashed a bully's head in with her elbow and then elbowed his dad too just to make her point. Where is my new kick-ass mom to worship??? Where is she????

[lovelylichabee]

I must have not been paying enough attention to the earlier episodes of The Second Citadel because I somehow never registered thar Sir Marc was disabled until just now listening to E5 E11... the whole dipdang series pretty much, and I never realized until he talks a little more in depth about his saddle that he made to keep him on Dampierre.

I feel silly about how badly it went over my head.

[your-mom-friend]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MARC IS ONE OF THE MOST TRUSTED MONSTER SLAYERS?!

WHY DID HE SOUND SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT?

[penumbrapodcastincorrectquotes]

Marc: I came out here to have a good time and honestly I'm feeling really attacked right now

[shapeshiftershenan1gans]

OHMYGODSOHMYGODSOHMYGODS

Oh my, sir Marc.. he.. really is a good guy 💀💀💀

I love Talfrin so much, and how brave he was facing Marc.

And yay patial family reunion <3

"OOOOoooohSaintDamienyouofcalmwavesetceteraetcetera..." bwaahauahaush

But like can we talk about Quanyii for a sec?

!!!!!!!

I love her so much and how feral she gets about Caroline. I mean, she never was really unwilling to harm others to get what she wants, or just cuz, but daaamn

And then just ✨poof✨

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE PLANES (or whatever they are)

I wanna know what's beyond the edge of the world ._.

Like, ok yeah there are humans somewhere out there, but !!!!! What's with the bombs and stuff?

AND WHERE THE HELL ARE OLALA CAROLINE AND LAM?????

I'm thinking maybe they ended up in the Garden of Graves?

Special mention to Angelo just for existing <3
