(through tears) juno steel and the monster’s reflection u will always be famous

I am listening to the junoverse once again so that I can catch up with the series and,, dear god I forgot how much I love these episodes. Sarah Steel the most realistic depiction I have seen of and abuse and dysfunctional families?? The gut wrenching realization that the people who hurt you are people too, that not everything was their fault, that not everything is black and white. Loving someone because they are your family and hating them for what they have done to you at the same time!!! Knowing that they will always be a part of you, that they are in your blood, seeing them in the bad parts of yourself and being terrified of it. And having to accept that! Because you can’t change it no matter how hard you deny it! Recognizing cycles of abuse and putting in effort to stop them. I’m not obligated to forgive you, and I don’t forgive you, but also holding onto this anger is only hurting me and I’m not going to let you hurt me any more. Healing as an act of retaliation!!!!

Also I love the way that the unpacking of Juno’s trauma was handled. Brain surgery metaphor I love you. Juno fighting against his own mind!! using Benzaiten to depict the part of himself that still wants to live!!! And also!!!! A huge thing with childhood trauma is memory loss, which I don’t see explored a lot in media. And I adore the way it is depicted here! Bc yes! Piecing together fragments of memories is like solving a mystery! And no! You don’t know what mystery you are even solving a lot of the time!

Ugh I love this stupid gay ass podcast!!!!

KEVIN VIBERT WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU

[hehehesnazzysnake]

why is his name slip it is so hard to take him seriously 😭

it's an amazing set up and tense and plot-fulfilling and then nureyev is like 'slip...🥲' and im reminded that this well written tragic character is named SLIP JACKSON of all things

[restlesschilled]

Penumbra really just activated my cute aggression cause I wanna punt Nureyev into the sun right now

[currenthyperf1xat1ons]

kevin vibert

please.

read the room.

the ending of thief’s honor pt 1 did not facilitate an “if you’ve enjoyed this tale”

i am so.

emotionally numb.

[the-voldsoy]

hello my brain latched onto the lyric "rich boys in nightgowns" and now im thinking about how Juno Steel-coded Gloomtown Brats is (im delirious)

[penumbralwoods]

does river also hate sebastian?

[obligatory ♠️joke] okay actually no. they’re very close, they’re just both obnoxious assholes. and traumatized. and queer.

their relationship is kind of inherently fucked, since the only reason they didn’t just stay vague acquaintances was because they… didn’t really have a choice. there isn’t a lot of company down there that won’t be dead in an hour. and with how chaotic and horrifying the hadal blacksite is, any kind of reliable presence that isn't going to kill you is fucking invaluable. it’s built on that codependency and idea of “this is the only person i have.” unfortunately by the time neo shows up and breaks up the isolation a bit both of them have already formed a complex about this.

but no yeah the TSP fixation lives on in the way i have to cut off all of sebastian and river's interactions before i write 700 words of them arguing and telling each other to kts

hi penumbra fandom I'm new 👀 anyways

please envision with me. Peter Nureyev going undercover to steal a temporary memory altering device but when he steals it it malfunctions and bam amnesia trope, but consider

the people he has gone undercover for tells him "who he is" which is the fake identity so he tries to be that but vague memories of Juno keep leaking through, even though he thinks he's someone else

Juno gets worried and goes in there (undercover as well) and when Nureyev sees him his mind immediately goes. hello you are so so important to me and it scares me. at the same time he still thinks he's this other person and he can't make it fit. Juno can't say anything immediately because he can't blow their cover, so he has to get Nureyev alone and then try to convince him.

do we delve into angsty territory? or hella flirty? both??

I feel like there must already be a fic out there about this
