#tpp second citadel

[justablah56]

hi guys . I am once again drawing fanart for @crazydreamer6 's fanfic Lily and Honeysuckle , all of you should go read it rn even if you haven't listened to tpp , this fic is better anyways , ok .

this scene with Zraine and Rilla was literally so cute , someone needs to get Zraine some shineys rn

[mocacheezy]

I forgot sir Damien wanted to marry Rilla since the first episode he appears in.

Ah, Saint Damien, bless this lovestruck poet and his hummingbird of an anxious heart.

*is aware that by 5th season, there is likely still no altar or priest that would perform the rites Damien wishes for with all his partners tying the knot*

Ohhhh, Kevin Vibert, take pity upon the foolish heart of this man and his desires, give him and his loved ones tranquility. Ohhhh, Harley Takagi Kaner, may you direct their union so, that us Travelers hear of the joy before we leave this story closed behind the doors of Penumbra.

... in less flowery words;

MAY DAMIEN GET TO BE A PRETTY GROOM!!!

Shitty Lord Arum aesthetic: so is every character from the penumbra podcast specifically designed to give tumblr users gender envy, or is that just a freebie that comes with the purchase?

Angelo provides deep pressure to Damien when he’s having a panic attack, reblog if you agree

[lovelylichabee]

I must have not been paying enough attention to the earlier episodes of The Second Citadel because I somehow never registered thar Sir Marc was disabled until just now listening to E5 E11... the whole dipdang series pretty much, and I never realized until he talks a little more in depth about his saddle that he made to keep him on Dampierre.

I feel silly about how badly it went over my head.

"Jezus Kristus MA NE, no!!", said by me at that cliffhanger.

finally caught up with junoverse. time to change the vibe completely with second citadel

[rabdoidal]

the characterization in the penumbra podcast is absolutely incredible, in both juno steel and second citadel. with the static characters, them being static is an integral part of their characterization. and the characters that do change are consistent. each of them change and learn in ways that are consistent and integral to that character specifically. we see multiple characters learn the same lessons in different ways and change in different ways in response and it's amazing because it's so incredibly real. each character stays consistent in who they are as they change.

i'm going to elaborate on specific static characters under the cut because i am especially fascinated in how them being static was used in their characterization. there aren't really any spoilers, but it makes the post a little long.

for sasha wire, every time she shows up, we explore her more and we get a deeper dive into who she is fundamentally. each time we see her, the magnifying glass gets a little closer and we learn new things about her. but when you go back to the beginning, those things are still there, just smaller. through each of her experiences, it becomes solidified more and more.

ramses is also similar, in a faster scale episode-wise and a wider scale timeline-wise. every moment we see him, he has the same values and beliefs, but we see those in so many different ways and from so many angles. we even see the things that could have caused him to change but instead only set him harder in his ways. each new piece of him that we see, it's a new angle of the same beliefs and the things that he twisted and misinterpreted to get him there.

queen mira is kinda similar to ramses, i think. we don't get as close a look into her head as we do sasha-- the season 2 finale is about as close as we get-- but we see her experience things that could have changed her but just firmed her current stance. they might choose to add some growth for her at some point, but there aren't any seeds for that currently and she would be a successful character either way.

talfryn, i think, is static in the other direction. in the good vs bad, yes, but also in his experiences. because for ramses and mira, the things they go through should have made them reevaluate things. but the things tal experiences aren't opportunities for reevaluation because they truly align with where he already is. for ramses and mira, they experience things that show them another perspective and that they choose to interpret in a way that aligns with how they already think instead of allowing it to broaden their viewpoint. tal is in a good place when the story starts and each of his experiences that we see are affirmations of that. i think he also serves as a sort of guiding point for some of the other characters, with little nudges here and there. he doesn't serve as a catalyst for any of them, but he sees the people around him growing and keeps them in check, in a way, without trying to push them.
