vanilla scent comes from orchids.

juno describes nureyev's cologne as smelling of spices from a far off planet, and something he couldn't place, which was later revealed to be the orchids.

vanilla and spices.

conclusion: nureyev smells like Christmas cookie Yankee candles.

It’s so funny that I’m the one obsessed with tpp when the person who told me about it has only finished s3 and the entirety of listening to s1 I was like Juno is so obnoxious, I dislike him wholly and completely. And they were just like …you can quit if you want, and I was like no back off, he’s my lady and I’m gonna finish it

still philosophizing over the morality of interacting with art/music made by questionable people or by people who are working together with questionable people

is it morally right to listen to type o negative since peter steele is dead, is it morally correct to listen to and talk about the beatles knowing one of them was an avid wife beater, has it been enough time to forget that oli sykes had a dv case against him in 2014 because its been a decade and nothing else has happened that the public knows of (and does it mean its acceptable for me to want to get band merch that costs far too much for my wallet), are hollywood undead clean of being freaks despite touring with ronnie radke, what crime is too much . is charlie xcx promoting kamala more cancellable than tswift being an ecoterrorist (using the term loosely. btw.) because its more widely known about. does the fact that david bowie allegedly had sex with minors make brian molko a bad person for missing him. whats the scale of atrocities someone needs to commit to get written off. is g way a normal man when his once best friend is an alleged pedophile. surely he had to know of him kissing underage fans at his shows at one point or another. and his wife is bandmates with the guy, surely she would know about it. is it acceptable to listen to pirated mp3s of msi since the band is inactive or is the music too reprehensable to even be listened to without the lead guy. if not listening to small artists who are weirdos stops their income then doesnt that go against the idea of everyone should have enough money to live a normal life without being in poverty or whatever. well. its probably a question of having power but. you know what i mean. you can also have power over people working an office job. but if you stop listening to a big popular artist bc they're a freak does it even change anything since they probably already have so much money that it wont matter.

i think about these things so fuckin often and i never come to conclusions because 90% of the music industry is fucked and even the ones who are "normal" can get immediate hate overnight because they said sth a bit "off" or whatever. ie i saw people being bitchy on twt at chapel roan for saying she likes trisha paytas or something.

should charlie scene get cancelled for singing "everywhere i go bitches always know that charlie scene has got a weenie that he loves to show"

7, 15, 16, 17 (for both in suit and civilian outfits please!!!)

7. Favourite villain? - if i'm allowed to pick a trio, its the Giark Ministers from Go Onger hands down. If i have to pick just one villain on their own.... I love Ecliptor tbh best pr dad 😭😭😭

15. Least favourite series? - I wanted so bad to like Ninja Steel, for Peter Sudarso, for the cool suits, for the bangin theme song... but alas I just couldnt take it for more than a few episodes. In terms of sentai, Kyoryuger would be my least favourite (not that I didnt enjoy it, i've just enjoyed everything else more lol)

16. Do you collect any merch? - I have a few things! A couple lightning collection figures, some dvds, but my pride and joy is my DX Engine O and Engine Souls (I do plan on getting my grubby little hands on this whole line at some point)

17. If you could cosplay any character? - i would kill a man to be able to wear the Shishi Red Orion suit, even if its just for 5 minutes PLEASE I BEG YOU. Civilian form tho, the second i laid eyes on Yanma Gust (King ohger) I was in love with his ridiculous fit - its just stupid enough to be absolutely perfect tbh pls give me that earring 👌👌

if ppl are talking about race in audio fiction, can we please. just. address the fact that The Penumbra Podcast continues to sell merch portraying their leads as a dark-skinned Black person and an East Asian person, when they’re played by white or very white-passing people.

i genuinely feel like ppl avoid talking about this bc Penumbra has canonical LGBTQ+ rep, and because some of the showrunners are LGBTQ+, but like. come on. literally how is this not blackface/yellowface.

My Peter Steele action figure arrived today!

[magnoliae]

Hii, I saw u had ppl who support the penumbra podcast on ur DNI, and i was just wondering, what was the hiring event u were referring to? It's on my list of podcasts to listen to n I was wondering if I should take it off

Hi! Ill start from a beginners perspective of the penumbra as the main controversy is very much a direct result of all of penumbras past mistakes, sorry if you know parts of this already. Also Im white and started listening mid season 2, so this is more of a rundown than like an authoritative judgement.

Theres two unrelated stories that are just going into the fourth season, one a scifi noir show with many themes on family, trauma, recovery and corruption, and a fantasy D&D like fiction which I have not listened to as much so I dont know the themes as well. However both stories are really popular because of their diversity in primarily LGBTQIA+ charcaters, but also race, disabilities, age, gender.

The main protagonist of the scifi noir is Juno Steele, a black disabled nonbinary character who has PTSD and other traumas. However, the penumbra has a predominantly white cast and writing crew, especially at the beginning of the show, and didnt explicitly give any charcters a race or ethnicity (except for iirc the antagonists of the now non-canon pilot who were south asian and said to "breed like rabbits" yikes).

Then in 2017, penumbra hired Michaela Buckley, whose art is a whole nother can of worms of racist and transmisogynistic caricatures. As the first "official" artist she gave the characters a lot of their traits that are still seen today, especially races and ethnicities like black for Juno, and South East Asian for his love interest Peter Nureyev. As a white person its not my place to judge the harmfulness in making an angry alcoholic character with a broken home black, and a suave homme-fatale thief Asian, but it doesnt sound good on paper.

When people brought this up with the creators of the show, they sort of made it canon but not really? Nothing really was mentioned on changing their ways or combating fandom racism. According to this timeline by @/ofdreamsanddoodles they later apologised, but still sold Buckley's merch. They also kinda sidestepped it by making their future "race blind", however the setting is very much not a utopia so idk the decision to avoid race as a topic seems a bit glaring imo. I think Buckley as well apoligsed separately, and she never intended to be like, the voice of god on canon representation.

The recent controversy however is around the newest artist penumbra have hired after their season 3 artist left. They hired Ellison Estephan, who also has a history of drawing racist, lesbophobic and transmisogynistic caricatures. the link goes over one of the most offensive artworks, which the penumbra team later address.

The first "statement" was given by one of the showrunners, Harley Takagi Kaner, on twitter I think a day after the announcement. However they basically only talked about the bullying theyve received in the meantime. It was mentioned later by Kevin Vibert how this was done in the spur of the moment by Harley. Vibert did compare the numbers of slurs sent to him, a white cis gay guy, vs Harley, a nonbinary POC so like, I understand why Harley would try to stop like abuse rather than criticism, but it wasnt great when this looked like their only official apology. Ellison also dismissed their offensive art as "goofy", which was also not great when fans hadnt heard anything else from the team. They did later apologise properly.

Then a week after the announcement, Vibert releases an 12 page statement on the matter. However, a large part of this was more going over why it took the team so long to respond and their hiring process, rather than an actual apology. In regards to Ellison's infamous artwork, he only goes over Alessandra Strong because no one on the hiring team was a black woman. And the response was it made sense to make a tall gruff muscular woman black because of her personality and because previous fans (like Buckley) had drawn her as black so it'd be taking away representation. I cant truly make a judgement on that, but he handwaves away the overly offensive caricature style which is what people mainly had an issue with, and didnt bring up the other characters. The crew have also decided to keep Ellison as their artist, so this is just another case of the penumbra team refusing to make changes and not take accountability in writing their characters and plot.
