#juno steel and the bird's eye view

[headphonesleatherjacket]

BIRDS EYE VIEW PT 2 SPOILERS

what i SO EXPECTED to happen was that lawrence killed MINTY (instead of monty) so juno knew for sure that the revivifying process worked, and we had a villainous showdown with lawrence hiring juno for some other nefarious reason - mad scientist esque

i guess having the revivifying process perfected 20 years earlier would have the "running out of time" stakes-raiser for nuyerev be null - but god that would've been a fantastic way for juno to find out

LYDIA KILLING MONTY TO PROTECT CHIP WAS V GOOD

"...he was always repeating things." "repeatin things!?" yes rita go theatre girlie go

wondering about the title - i guess the point of the case is for juno to imagine himself from Lydia/Lawrence's perspective - someone who has let go vs. someone who hasn't. At the same time, though, Nureyev is also someone who hasn't let go - of Slip - will the season end with Juno letting go of Nuyerev as the healthy thing to do? I don't even wanna think about it

BECAUSE LIKE there's little things like "[running for someone else is] when i run the fastest" that's super reminiscent of Juno before he was trying to get better, and then Lydia pushing him to let go, and bird's eye view being someone that very literally points to him being forced to reflect???

what if the season ends with slip waking and then not being receptive to Nuyerev at all? to show that you shouldn't chase someone like that?

im going insane guys jupeter divorce era is NOT treating me well

[one-joe-spoopy]

It would be kind of funny if it turned out that Lydia and Chip both had a hand in murdering Monty.

[idontknowhowiamhere]

The plot twist in the next Penumbra episode will be that Monty was just Peter in a really convincing bird costume

[briony-poisoned]

I fucking love Chip Hoffman. Approached by a private investigator? Attempt to run off of a floating city. Threatened by your brother-in-law? Poison everyone's fish. Accurately accused of theft by your sister? Just literally play dead. There's no problem this man can't solve

[bedroomcloset]

every s5 tpp episode some new character indirectly says Juno should leave Nureyev in the past and istg if Juno listens

[frogiore]

everytime I make a theory for tpp juno cases the real thing is always much more over the top than mine so my theory this time is lawrence killed minty after he blacked out and presumably lydia brought her back to life through their research and used parts of the bird to do it

[ratstranaut]

I have GOT to see the notebook Juno writes all his little jokes in

[uhohitsmespaghettios]

OK SO NEW JUNO STEEL I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THE NARRATIVE PARALLELS

SO AT THE END JUNO MAKES A LITTLE SPEECH

AND NOT TO BE DRAMATIC BUT ALSO I AM GOING TO BE DRAMATIC ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE VERSIONS OF OUR MAIN CHARACTERS

CHIP IS MICK!! SO HOPEFUL THAT THINGS WILL WORK OUT STILL, WAITING FOR LIFE TO START AND FOR MICK IT DOES!! HES DOING SO WELL NOW BUT CHIP DOESNT!! HES STILL STUCK

LYDIA IS AGENT W-SHES TRYING TO PUT HER PAST BEHIND HER, TO ABANDON THE PERSON SHE WAS AND SHE DOESNT FULLY SUCCED, SHES STILL ATTCHED TO LAWRENCE BECAUSE OF THEIR CAREER TOGETHER, SAME AS HOW AGENT W IS STILL ATTACHED TO JUNO NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE WANTS TO NOT BE, SHE CANT FULLY ESCAPE THE PERSON SHE WAS AND THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW HER

WHICH TIES IN NICELY TO JUNO AND LAWRENCE!! ESPECIALLY SEASON ONE JUNO-STUCK COMPLETELY IN THE PAST TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR SOMETHING HE ONCE DID, THE WHOLE DEAD BIRD THING IS MIRRORING BENZIATEN SO HARD TO ME, ESPECIALLY HOW IT TURNS OUT THAT NEITHER OF THEM REALLY IS THE CULPRIT, BUT BOTH HAVE A HAND IN THEIR OWN SUFFERING. AND FOR SEASON ONE JUNO ALSO HAS LAWRENCES PREDILICTION FOR HURTING HE PEOPLE HE CARES ABOUT, EITHER INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY.

AND LASTLY- MINTY IS NUREYUV. FOR HER, LYDIA IS SLIP- SOMEONE SHE LOVED ONCE IN HER YOUTH AND TRIES SO DESPARETLY TO GET BACK, TAKING A BIG RISK ON THE WAY( confessing her love to a literaly married woman). THEY ARE SO PARALLEL TO ME!!!

AND ALL THAT FITS IN SO WELL ALREADY WITH ALL THE CONNECTIONS TO SEASON ONE IM IN LOVE WITH HOW CIRCULAR AND MISTAKES OF THE PAST THIS PODCAST IS

[junee-e]

NEW. JUNO. EPISODE. OUT. (i know im like a day late i was busy 😭) random thoughts and ramblings follow :D

words cannot express how happy juno doing funky detective work makes me

wilko the dog having so much more plot relevance that i ever thought possible is so funny to me

‘are you two together?’ *cue rita making the most disgusted noises* LMAOO

this is such a funky little dinner party cluedo story except there’s only four suspects and the person who died is a bird.

‘i thought a drink would give me something to focus on instead of Lydia’s…instead of her. do you know what i mean?’ ‘i do.’ - ahahahaha not me getting war flashbacks to season 1

NOOO WHAT??? UNREQUITED LOVE THATS SO SAD KEVIN WHY???

i think the chip guy killed the bird. based on like zero evidence just vibes. but that also seems like the obvious answer maybe i’m just basic.

juno going into full on detective mode while some guy is so obviously escaping is so funny

‘me chasing after a thief that did not want me following him because i thought i couldn’t live without him.’ i know it’s been established that they care for (love) each other and everything but every tiny little jupeter moment still makes me giggle and kick my feet.

i forgot this was only part one noooo :[

i loved this episode sm omg :D so excited for part two :] (time to catch up on the second citadel episode i missed (i know i’m slacking))

[orangetubor]

Oh this Juno ep was INSANE

[missyadventures]

JUNO FINALLY ASKED!

FINALLY!

THANK YOU STARS!

[ritaredacted]

Bird Time

[plainlyraine]

Is no one else losing their shit over the bird from the new Juno eps? Another "parrot" at the center of an investigation

[citruscrumples]

lawrence’s version: i, uh, politely turned him down :)

chip’s version: i don’t LIKE you, i think you FAIL at EVERYTHING and if i hear you’re up to something i will FUCKING HUNT YOU DOWN and GET you

[thepenumbrapodcast]

To to find a lead in his search for Nureyev, Juno Steel is going to have to solve his coldest case yet. Twenty-seven years cold, to be precise.

JUNO STEEEL AND THE BIRD'S-EYE VIEW (PART 1) is out now wherever you get your podcasts.

"Me, chasing after a thief who did not want me following him because I thought I couldn't live without him" Juno you better not have character development centered around you learning to live without Nureyev. Learn how to marry each other instead
