Y'ALL NOT AGAIN

fucking "Rex Glass" and the episode "Man in Glass" AND NUREYEV EXPLAINING HOW HE CHOSE "REX" BC IT MEANS KING, AS IN CONTROL.

In s1ep1, Nureyev (Glass) talking about the meaning of names and what "Rex Glass" means to him:

Nureyev: "I take my name as a creed to live by: control your name, and you control yourself."

Juno: "It's a pretty thought, Rex. [I] Wish it were that simple."

LIKE HELLO??? SHATTER MY HEART AGAIN AFTER THE SIXTEEN TONS. Nureyev thinking he controls himself, and he can when he changes his name. He can disappear when he changes his name. But he loses some sense of control with Juno, let's himself relax a bit and let's Juno take charge of some things instead. On the flipside, he has no control with the people holding Slip Jackson — they know his name and are willing to use it as a weapon against him. He can't control his name here, so he can't control himself (looks at the line in which Juno says that they "stole his [Nureyev's] story" because Nureyev always thought he was doing something inconceivable and unique (therefore no one could understand his suffering), just to find out that he is one of maybe thousands in the same position all across the galaxy.

Not only does Man in Glass make Nureyev more transparent for us, Buddy, and even Juno, but also it highlights the back-and-forth struggle for Nureyev as he goes between choosing his names and yet yearning to hear Juno "call [him] what [he] used to."

He's breakable, here.

Y'ALL THE LITTLE CLUES ALL THROUGHOUT THIS SERIES HAVE ME GASPING. YALL AINT READY FOR THE SHIT COMING UP WITH WHAT BUDDY SAYS TO JUNO AND THEN JUNO AND NUREYEV IN S5. SO MANY PARALLELS.

[hyperfixssession]

‘The name’s Juno Steel - I’m new to crime, but I’ve been doing illegal shit for years.’

the fact that all the other aurinkos are criminals who know of each other's exploits while juno's over there like "???" is fuckin hilarious because everyone's like "this is jet sikuliaq, the unnatural disaster" "this is buddy aurinko renowned crime boss and daughter of palomine aurinko" "this is vespa ilkay renowned assassin" "this is peter nureyev the angel of brahma"

and you know juno's sitting there frantically space googling everyone

[silkstew]

Mrs. Aurinko please just one chance

[thesecondcitadel]

I love that vespa straight up murders like four people in the aurinko permanent corrections episodes and nobody cares. other characters angst about it for years when someone around them accidentally dies, but not mrs ilkay and her killin' knives.

[notreyev]

currently absorbing buddy aurinko’s speech patterns

[totallycorrectjunosteelquotes]

Store Worker: Would a Mrs. Buddy please come to the front desk?

Buddy, arriving at the desk: Hello, is there a problem?

Store Worker: *points to Rita and Jet*

Store Worker: I believe they belong to you?

Rita and Jet, simultaneously: We got lost :(

Buddy: I didn’t even bring you two here with me-

[starsprinkledwaters]

oh WOW what lies beyond pt. 2 was so so SO good

[adrie-75014]

this tweet had me pulling out my favorite Penumbra Pod/Juno Steel quotes (I have a notes doc for quotes bc of course I do). I think I started writing them down starting in season 3. Anyways, here’s some that punch me in the heart every single time so you too can be punched in the heart again:

[mild spoilers]

(also it would warm my heart if people added their favorites to this)

BUDDY: “A legend is an old story, a dead thing. Frozen forever. And we are very much alive, still in motion. We must use that.” (S3E02, The Man in Glass)

---

DIRECTOR W: “You think you're some great hero for this, don't you?”

JUNO: “No. I think I did what I could and it was better than nothing.” (S4E25, the Blank Slate)

---

JET: “Because It changes the world to believe in someone, just a little. I choose to believe it, and I choose to believe that my belief changes the world.” (S3E25, What Lies Beyond)

---

BUDDY: “We must be careful not to fall too far out of date with the story about ourselves which we tell ourselves. It leaves you flinching from blows that never come… and blind to those that do.” (S3E21, What Lies Beyond)

---

JUNO: Self-loathing always arrives with bricks and with mortar, ready to build a wall that will keep anything good about you out and all of the self-hate packed tightly in. I wanted to tell him that he couldn't trust the feeling, that it lied, that I loved him and all of us loved him, and if he could only see that love he would never say he had no value again. (S4E24, the Blank Slate)

---

JUNO: You can’t think your way out of self destruction if you’re always self-destructing your train of thought. (S4E19, the Clean Break)

---

JUNO: If I learned anything during my time with the Aurinkos, it was this: there are very few battles in life that have to be one-on-one. (S4E25, the Blank Slate)

---

VESPA: “The hardest thing about “visual and auditory hallucinations,” like the medical handbook calls them, isn’t when you hallucinate a thousand spiders climbing out of the bathtub drain. It’s when the spiders are actually there — and you’re letting them crawl all over you cuz you think they’re just in your head. You can’t know what’s real, is my point. [...] What nobody gets, is the price that comes at — looking at everything and everyone through gauze, questioning every meal and word and kiss, because if you can’t trust your own goddamn eyes how are you supposed to know if anything you see is real?”

VESPA: “Sometimes it pays to be paranoid. That’s part of what makes quitting the habit so hard: because even if it only saves you one out of every thousand times, you spend the other nine hundred ninety-nine convinced this is the time that counts.”

(S3E09, Shadows on the Ship)

---

RITA: “I dunno Mr. Ransom, it seems pretty simple to me. If somebody tells you what they want you to call em, that’s what you call em. no matter what. Cuz I mean, you know yourself better than anyone, right?” (S3E14, Mega Ultrabots of Cyber Justice)

---

JUNO: Just because you miss something doesn’t mean you’re supposed to go back to it. (S3E21, What Lies Beyond)

[synth-ss]

mrs aurinko i think ur really cool and charismatic and suave and pretty and and and can i pls hold you hand

[imgonnagetkilledbynutstink]

I adire that this episode was just

Juno: i dont know anything about Mr. Aurinko. I have no idea what went on between him and Buddy... *swinging his fist* but if i ever see that cheeky motherfucker-

[indigokra]

Mrs. Buddy Aurinko 💫

(click for better quality)

[hyperionboutique]

what do you think the go-to accessory is for each member of the aurinko crime family? or any penumbra characters, i ain’t choosy ;)

G//N TW FOR JET

Wonderful question.

Juno:

I like to think that juno likes to keep decorative eyepatches. He’s always wearing a nice fancy eyepatch on a heist, but even when he’s lazing about on the carte blanche he’s got on a nice eyepatch. I also HC that juno has gauged ears so:

Dangly plugs or any nice earrings are also something he would wear!

Rita:

Rita, in true Mrs. Slocombe fashion, has hundreds of cat eye glasses in different colors. She wears a different color of glasses every single day and nobody has any idea where she keeps them. Some theorize that they’re a part of her body and she grows them daily…..I digress. Rita also is a kandi queen.

Buddy:

I like to think that buddy wears hat pins in her hair. Decoratively, to stab people, whichever suits her mood the best at any moment. She also wears long necklaces.

Jet:

The first is not necessarily an accessory, more like a necessity. A blaster holder can always be found on or around jet siquliak. But if you want to be more specific, I believe jet has an extensive collection of cuff links.

Vespa:

I think that vespa began to wear shoe chains to help her walk in the desert, but then as she started learning more about herself she started wearing more decorative types of chains.

Peter:

Aside from his classic ear cuffs (because peter nureyev is a twerp who won’t even get a real piercing) he wears glasses chains. It’s strange how quiet he is for someone wearing ten pounds of jewelry.
