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.

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.

*RACES AND RUSHES TO GET A PICTURE DONE FOR PRIDE MONTH* This is not canon to my AU. This is an AU of my AU where the Archivists are better siblings so they can be trusted to go to Earth without starting shit. Anyways please envision the looks on people's faces when they see 12 foot tall space aliens walking around at pride, casually carrying their 4'6" baby brother like a stuffed animal.

Pride flags:

Omnisexual - All Archivists

Transfemme - Penumbra

Bigender - Crescent

Demiboy - Collector (headcanon)

Demigirl - Solari

Agender - Satellite

As a reminder, in my HC all Collectors do not experience gender like we do, it's a purely aesthetic thing for them, but if they did interact with human culture enough to find all these different identities they would pick ones they feel best describe their aesthetic gender. Like for instance Penumbra is transfeminine and not just a cis woman despite her exclusive use of she/her and feminine titles and her presentation being what we here (US-centric) would describe as majority feminine, but she's not cis because she can't be cis, since she's a sexless alien. They're all inherently trans in some way.

I'm loving your Arc V swap AU so far! I am curious though: how do the dimensional dragons swap? Do they just change aesthetics, or something more?

THANK YOU IT'S IN OUR BRAINS SO BAD

anyway, aw man buddy you got no IDEA how swapped up these dimension dragons are, eheheheh. Right out the gate we ended up fuckign around and changing each summoning method's associated color(s) (so fusion is whites and vibrant greens, xyz is red/blue gradient/i guess also that seafoam/orange gradient of pend cards, pendulum is all blacks and greys, and synchro is purples,) so each yuboy does keep their dragon from canon, and it gets to roughly keep its color palette, but the summoning method associated with each is also swapped around, as are its deeper motifs/aesthetics. Here's a lil rough overview of the four of 'em.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon SWAPS TO -->

Eclipse-Eyes Xyz Dragon

@zxal named this one and it kicks so much ass. Playing around with sun and moon light and dark type motifs; it has a hyper aggressive evolved version called Eclipse-Eyes Totality Dragon that Yuya first summons in absolute earth shattering fury. It bites Sora's arm off at the Arc League Championship. Don't worry about it <3

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon SWAPS TO -->

Dark Janus Pendulum Dragon

Big beastie with two-faces...y'ever see Janus cats before?? It's like that but a dragon. Fucking around with the vibes of duality, beginnings and endings, creation and destruction, etc etc etc. It upgrades into Dark Entropy Pendulum Dragon<-- (ZXAL'S NAMES DONT MISS!!!) and has an Odd-Eyes Rebellion-type combined form with Eclipse-Eyes that gets busted out called Eclipse-Eyes Penumbra Dragon :^) yaaay The Big Bang and heat death of the universe YAAAY

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon SWAPS TO -->

Ravenous Venom Synchro Dragon

I think this one's name and Shattered Wing below both came to me while I was falling asleep one night and kickstarted this whole mess. ANYWAY we're still cooking on the visual direction going on with this gnarly guy but it has big oily black feathery wings!! It upgrades into Furious Venom Synchro Dragon and hey buddy. hey synchro yuri. is that supposed to be 'furious' as in angry or 'furious' as in desperate. or is it maybe both <3 ah

and finally Clear Wing Synchro Dragon SWAPS TO -->

Shattered Wing Fusion Dragon

SHATTERED WING IS MY BABYYYYY fusion yugo is really in my brain Especially Bad. imagine Clear Wing but its wings are completely smashed and broken, leaving it grounded. It has no back legs so it drags itself across the ground sooo slowly. but never giving up. Endurance predator 💚 It also upgrades into the absolutely horrifying Perfect-Wing Fusion Dragon that I took a lot of inspo from uranium glass, nuclear fusion, and glassblowing for--it glows with sickly green light and has yucky melted glass wings amalgamated from God Knows Where. we're still sussing out the abilities of all the swapped dragons but i think Perfect-Wing absorbs monsters to add to its 'perfect' state <-- (BIASED FONDNESS FOR YGO MONSTERS THAT STEAL YOUR MONSTER)

BUT YEAH THERE THEY ARE!! here's a nice neat little list zxal organized of all the dragon variants and evolution we've concocted so far, too!! :D

Listening to the penumbra podcast part 7: does Juno use he/she pronouns with a preference for he or do people keep calling him a lady for aesthetic

[mio-nika]

Heey, I know you listened to loads of fictional podcasts, could you recommend me one (or any amount)

(Not Knifepoint Horror or Mabel tho, know and love them)

Whoooo boiii.

I think I have a list somewhere, oh, here it is. You can also look at my beautiful pretty aesthetic collages.

Can I recommended something else? Hmmm. I probably can, but it will fall outside of my top faves. And also I'm really mean, so if Im saying something about your favourite podcast. I'm sorry.

1. The Magnus archives and the other Magnus archives.

It sure is a story! I have my personal grudge against it, which I don't want to explain. But it seems what people really like it.

2. Borrasca

With even more borrasca. Dunno. The original story rattled me (for obvious trigger reasons). And the first season is really just borrasca with more details. But, when I started listening to the second season. I immideately realized what I'm not really interested?

3. Unwell

It's really mid for me for some reason. I can't even explain why? The story is good, I like some of the characters. But it's not GRIPPING me. Even tho I finished the entire first season and the half of the second.

4. Wolf 359

Is good. Same as mag, but I have less grudge against it. People really like it, but I don't remember anything.

5. Penumbra

*the sound of scraping of teeth* people REALLY like it. Good, if you really into ao3 fanfiction. It's all what I say without my attorney.

6. ars PARADOXICA

The same as unwell and wolf. For some reason it's never clicked with me, even tho the story is really good.

7. The cluster of mindless slop Terry Miles ever produced

And by this I mean: Rabbits, Tanis, The Black Tapes (second season and up), The Last Movie... etc. Great audio production! But I really hope someone would steal his keyboard tho.

There is another specific problem I see with regard to sexuality. There is a common assumption that certain kinds of conceptual analysis or literary and film criticism provide descriptions or explanations about living individuals or populations, without establishing the relevance or applicability of such analyses to those individuals or groups. I have no objection to people performing dazzling analytic moves upon a body of assumptions or texts in order to say interesting things about those assumptions or texts. I have nothing against philosophy, literary analysis, or film criticism per se. But I have a problem with the indiscriminate use of such analyses to generate descriptions of living populations or explanations of their behaviors.

For example, there is a trend to analyze sexual variance by mixing a few privileged “theoretical” texts with literary or film criticism to produce statements about either the thing (e.g., “masochism”) or the population (e.g., “masochists”). The currently fashionable “theory” of sadomasochism is Deleuze’s long 1971 essay on “masochism.” Despite the fact that Deleuze based much of his analysis on fiction, primarily Sacher-Masoch’s novel Venus in Furs and some texts of de Sade, he is taken to be an authority on sadism and masochism in general. Since he is known as a theorist, his comments on sadism and masochism are surrounded with the penumbra of “Theory.”

Deleuze treats differences in the literary techniques of Sade and Sacher-Masoch as evidence for ostensible differences between “sadism” and “masochism.” But what are the “sadism” and “masochism” of which he speaks? Are they literary genres? Desires of living sadists and masochists? Floating formations of desire? He makes sweeping generalizations about “sadism” and “masochism,” such as, “Sadism negates the mother and inflates the father; masochism disavows the mother and abolishes the father. . . . There is an aestheticism in masochism, while sadism is hostile to the aesthetic attitude.” I find statements like these fairly meaningless, intelligible only because of a psychoanalytic tradition that has equated particular constellations of sexual desire with alleged universals of childhood development. What troubles me is that such generalizations are and will be taken as descriptive statements about those persons and populations who might be considered “masochistic” or “sadistic.”

Deleuze is very smart, and it also seems clear from his text that he had some acquaintance with practicing perverts. But his empirical knowledge enters primarily as anecdote. He seems familiar with female dominance, particularly by professional Mistresses. He seems to generalize from some literature and some kind of personal knowledge to make statements about “masochism” and “sadism” in a broader context. This essay is fascinating, yet hardly definitive. It is nonetheless becoming an authoritative text for writing about masochism and sadism.

There are now discussions which draw on Deleuze to analyze the “masochistic aesthetic,” “the masochistic text,” “masochism’s psychodynamics,” or “masochistic narrativity.” Such usage implies that masochism is an “it,” a unitary phenomenon whose singular psychodynamic, text, aesthetic, or narrativity are not only knowable but known. Leaving aside the issue of what terms like this mean, I see a danger that statements about what “masochism” in this sense “is” or “does” or “means” will be taken as descriptions or interpretations of what actual masochists are, do, or mean. Yet the authority of these statements is not derived from any systematic knowledge of masochism as it is practiced by masochists. It is derived from an analytic apparatus balanced precariously upon Deleuze’s commentary, Sade’s fiction and philosophical writings, Sacher-Masoch’s novels, psychoanalytic writings on the etiology of masochism, various other texts and films, and personal anecdote.

I have this quaint, social-science attitude that statements about living populations should be based on some knowledge of such populations, not on speculative analysis, literary texts, cinematic representations, or preconceived assumptions. And I can hear the objection to what I’m saying already: “But Deleuze,” someone is bound to say, “is Theory.”

[lionmythflower]

hello there!

I'm rayn!!!

I'm pangender and I use any pronouns (whatever ur comfortable using to refer to me i literally don't care lmao)

I'm abroromantic, asexual and demiromantic.

I like to draw, read and write (currently working on a few fics on my ao3 acc @/rainbows_n_gays)

I'm in many many fandoms and I hyperfocus on so many things that my acc is literally a mess-

A few fandoms I'm part of and interact with one Tumblr:

Marauders fandom

Mphfpc

The Hollow (Netflix)

Thitcs

Toh

Amphibia

Gravity falls

Rrverse

de:pp

Tsoa

The two princes podcast

the Penumbra podcast

And probably more lol

Welp that's all I can think of to put on here, feel free to use my ask box and dm me to talk w me :) ill make this more aesthetic and shit later 😭😭

[leveractionlesbian]

my hot take for the day is that there is nothing wrong with art being derivative. i'd be lying if i said all my writing wasnt completely derivative. every horror story i make is just channeling the energy of Frictional Games' Amnesia and Penumbra games. its ok to put a spin on an idea or an aesthetic. shh. its ok. shh

[azurebolt-fr]

For the FR lore asks: Peregrin sounds like an interesting creature, wanna tell us more about her? DHow did Diciassette and Cymbeline become friends?

On Peregrin:

Do you ever buy a dragon for an accent and intend to give them lore but just... never do? At least not expansive lore? Peregrin is that.

She's a cryptic figure around the Starwood Strand. Angelic at first glance, but it's clear she's not entirely that, so what is she then? Paradisium isn't sure. Folks figure she's a little bit like Angel, since it's somehow able to talk with her (Peregrin doesn't speak the common draconic language; "triangles" is a placeholder for something more incomprehensible). And Angel's a demon (I promise that makes sense if you look at its lore). So maybe Peregrin is one, too? Not from its world, though. She's something else, and that's all they know.

She doesn't really have a room in the clan. She has her perches of starwood near the entrance, and that makes her happy enough (but it doesn't make Seinaru, the actual starwood fairy of the clan, happy at all). She watches over them with curiosity and occasionally pokes her head in with a calming presence. She seemingly likes seeing Cerasus' workshop most.

On Sette and Cym's friendship:

Man, it's been a while since I've seen these two side-by-side. Their aesthetics are completely opposite of each other, but there's still similarities...

Them being friends was one of the first things I established with adding Cym to the lore, it seems. It didn't even start as anything grand- Sette just offered his room to sleep in on her first night of joining the clan. That was way before he had to worry about the demons, so he was a lot more open with his kindness. (Not to say he isn't open these days, but he is a lot more on guard.)

After that night, they bonded over being magic-focused. While Sette's on the route of being a cleric, Cym still encourages him however she can. And when Penumbra was founded, inspired by her magic techniques, Sette was one of the first to enroll to follow a similar route.

GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR.

name:  jayne bird.

pronouns:  they/them + she/her. 

preference of communication:  you'll get the most consistent replies on disco. i work 40 hours a week and can reply from my phone, ( disco is available to mutuals )

most active muse:  gerri.

experience/how many years:  i've been roleplaying forever, tumblr since i was like ? twelve ? we won't talk about it. but i've been around awhile.

best experience: probably when i was frequently writing in the tma/penumbra/podcast fandom. i made a lot of friends and plotted a lot / idk, it was really comfortable and was a safe space, though my time writing beetlejuice was also really fun, it was the first time i ever made an rpc server and i learned a lot !  

rp pet peeves: replacing fcs for aesthetics / shipability - ie replacing fat or old actors ( especially older women ) with younger / more conventionally attractive actors OR using skinny faceclaims and then "body claims" for fat muses. ( i understand it's hard to find the perfect fc especially when fat actors / content for fat actors is hard to come by, but it feels bad to me as a fat person. ). the idea length of reply / speed of reply = effort / care. sometimes, words are hard, i'm dyslexic and work full time, we're here to have fun and personally i don't care if you match length. write what you can / what you feel.

plots or memes: both ! i love a good plot but i am very much the sort of person who likes to improvise a majority of the time, i like to go with the flow, though gerri is one of my more plot driven blogs due to the nature of the show, i'm just not very good at like . . . plotting. i'll just throw ideas at you and giggle. 

long or short replies: i personally write para / sometimes novella, especially with gerri, she has a lot of thoughts and emotions she doesn't actually display but i feel are important to understand what she means. a lot of the time what she's saying needs to be deconstructed, and there are multiple layers to it, which is hard to get across in shorter replies. though i'm not opposed to one-liners.

are you like your muses: some of them yes, most of them not so much. gerri is far more serious than i am, she's also more sure of herself and better at hiding her nerves / desire for acceptance, but we both crave that sort of acceptance, and for both of us a large obsticale in getting it is our perceived gender. i project a lot onto my muses which is something i'm aware of. ( i'm far more like connor in terms of personality, which uuh says something. ) . she's also sixty years old with a law degree and a job she's secure in making millions of dollars a year, while i'm just a goofy little guy.

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.
