*buddy aurinko voice* found family? no, darling, this is a made family. I superglued these chucklefucks together kicking and screaming.

Peter, via journal: ‘Juno DO NOT come looking for me, I have been in over my head since I was 17 and there is no getting out of it’

Juno, having a mid life crisis: ‘Well literally WHAT ELSE am I supposed to do??? Get a JOB????’

Look The Penumbra Podcast has had a lot of moments that hit me pretty hard.. Like really hard... but realizing that The Ruby sent the distress signal literally stopped me in my tracks. I hit my knees. Tears fell from my face.

Ruby crying out for help like a child. Not knowing what to do. Feeling It's family, all of them, scared and in trouble. Being so scared It couldn't do anything else but pleed for help.

I may never fully recover

Season two finale nostalgia

[secretlyhuntokar]

Penumbra podcast Junoverse headcanons

(under cut because there are a Lot) ((Also spoiler warning up to Thief's Honour pt 2))

- Juno leaves notes in his and Nureyev's room on the Carte Blanche if he gets up before him so Nureyev doesn't worry he left again

- One of the main reasons Nureyev is scared of aging is because he's already lived a full hallucinated life and doesn't want to waste any second of his real one

- Juno wears a trenchcoat because Rita was really into old Earth noir detective streams when they first met and she bought a trenchcoat for him. And it was the first gift someone had bought for him in years.

- Juno still wears that trenchcoat to this day

- Nureyev once bought/stole Juno a new trenchcoat and while Juno thought it was a really nice trenchcoat and a sweet gesture, he never wore it because its not the one Rita got him

- Nureyev likes to see how many of Vespa's knives he can steal before she notices and yells/threatens him for them back

- Vespa taught Buddy how to play Rangian Street Poker

- The Ruby Seven is green because wherever it's from, Ruby is their word for green

- Rangian Street Poker varies very slightly across Outer Rim planets, and even more so on the Solar planets

- New Kinshasa's version of Rangian Street Poker is the most similar to the Solar version out of all the Outer Rim Variations

- Nureyev and Rita make each other jewelry. Rita hands the jewelry she makes to Nureyev directly, while Nureyev sneaks what he makes under Rita's door at night, or leaves it on her seat for her to find in the morning

- Rita is from the Cerberus Province or someplace similar to it. Or she spent a lot of time sneaking out to the Martian sewers while growing up and befriended the Martian sewer rabbits

- Jet didn't know how to wash his hair properly and one time it got especially greasy after changing the Ruby's oil or something, so Rita showed him how to clean it properly. Since then they try to have a 'spa day' sort of thing once a week

- The Mechanisms are somewhere Out There in Junoverse

- Buddy Aurinko has met the Mechanisms, and Vespa has not. She is definitely not jealous about that. Nuh uh.

- Buddy is naturally taller than Nureyev but she does not know this because Nureyev is always wearing heels that make him appear an inch taller than her. No matter what shoes she herself chooses to wear that day.

- Nureyev kept the handcuffs from the Murderous Mask ep

- The entire Carte Blanche has matching friendship bracelets that they made together (suggested by Rita and organised by Buddy). The Ruby Seven's bracelet was made by Jet and is tied around its steering wheel. Nureyev also made it one later on, which he hid under one of the seats.

- Juno has 10 eyepatches he frequently wears and they are all identical.

- Juno and Slip would've loved each other if they had the chance to meet properly. Platonically or romantically it doesn't matter. Either way, they would pretend to be jealous of each other around Nureyev for a while, until one day Nureyev catches them watching a shitty stream together, making fun of the bad writing.

- Slip didn't want to be revived

- Slip was sometimes conscious enough to hear everything that happened around him

- Slip calls Nureyev "Petya" either because that's the Brahman pronunciation of it or because he misheard the first time they met and it stuck as a nickname

- If Petya is the Brahman pronunciation of Peter, then Mag was the one who changed his name to "Peter" so it "sounded more Solar"

- Buddy and Vespa dye their hair together

- One time they were real tired while dying their hair, and accidentally switched the colours around. For a few months Buddy had green hair and Vespa had red hair. Vespa has a photo of her and Buddy with swapped hair colours as her comms homescreen

- Juno used to think diamonds were beautiful, and now can't stand the sight of them

- Ben would teach Juno to dance (I think this one is canon? Juno's "I had a good teacher" line in Man in Glass makes me think so? And it might've been brought up in other episodes too)

- Juno couldn't bear to do any sort of dance for years after Ben died

- Juno tried to keep the dahlias and roses Nureyev got him for his birthday alive for as long as possible, but they probably wilted either during the THEIA stuff or soon after he left Hyperion city. They still sit in his office though, and he has a photo of them from before they wilted that he looks at sometimes

- Buddy sometimes does her makeup in a green that matches Vespa's hair. Vespa does the same, but in red

- Nureyev used to not have a favourite colour, but it became gold after Man in Glass

"Knight in stolen armor", "Say the one thing that matters", the return of the thief without a name theme, "If you can't trust family, real family, the kind you've made out of people who've earned it ... who the hell can you trust?", the door between them again, "Then say the one thing that matters", MUSIC: VARIATION ON JUNO’S THEME.", "Where are we going?"

How we feeling Penumbra fans?

[podcast-official]

i've said before that the ruby 7 can never be a sports car to me because to me it must always be something small round and whimsical allow me to demonstrate

please tell me you all understand

[anxious-omnipotence]

Quick reminder to everyone who is caught up on Penumbra: the Ruby 7 is still in Juno’s pocket, and Peter doesn’t know what Ruby actually is.

The next episode is going to be WILD.

[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

No detailed graphics because I am both sick and busy. Idea came from tags by @dokidyke. Sorry if anyone finds the concept of this poll gross, I've only listened to half of one of these, and none of the other, and don't know what "semi-sentient" fully entails in either case. In general I operate by the Harkness Test for polls about how sexy a character is, and if someone makes an argument that one of these characters doesn't pass the test I'll delete the poll.

[asexualsoup]

Relistening to some early Juno episodes to get ready for part two and my god the depth of Juno's growth.

Everyone's already talked at length about his emotional growth but can we also talk about the little things? Like he literally goes from thinking aliens are so dumb and hokey in Murderous Mask to sobbing uncontrollably when the Ruby leaves in Case Closed.

I... I just.....

The lady is so different now but it's so wonderful to watch him change.

[nureyevs-worst-alias]

In the next episode The Ruby turns into a green pair of heeleys that say Ruby 7 on the side. Kabert told me personally

[mothidocandart]

what if I was a sentient homesick alien who was older than anyone could ever comprehend and I got here by accident and all I want to do is go home and all I want to go is protect my friends and I do nothing but protect my friends and I get beat up because of it and I get split in half because of it but I can feel the way that everyone feels and I sent out a massive distress signal because I was scared for them and the whole time, the whole entire fucking time, EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS A GODDAMN CAR

[murderandcoffee]

the ruby 7 isn’t actually green, juno is just colorblind

[theangelofbrahma]

just finished the latest episode (5.19) and given the finale is so close, it is safe to say i am very scared 😁

[hyperfixssession]

Juno is so strong if I was in his shoes I would not be able to handle it. Helping the love of your life ‘save’ the love of THEIR life, (and how the hell are we even going to do that) all of which might get you killed or hurt you so bad emotionally you wanna just curl up behind a bar and die???
