y'all we saw a whole man self-actualize in what legitimately felt like real time (if you've been here for a minute/since basically the beginning like I have lmao) and i don't know what to do with that. not to get sappy but juno steel, sweet bbg that she is, really got me crying while also feeling hopeful because he's right we change so much and sometimes you can get lost but it's going to be okay because it will work itself out somehow. this story was long and hard and frequently gruesome and terrifying and lovely and the ending was beautiful, and i'm sure i'm going to see ending discourse but I personally think it fit. it's easy to cry for what it was and at the same time i'm so glad i got to go on this journey for so long.

this isn't a well-written lovenote to juno steel but it's what i have to offer as immediate thoughts, pls accept or reject as you wish

final episode of juno steel got me literally crying silently in my bedroom rn. it's not even gotta be sad i just cry because it happened <3

i've been listening to penumbra pod since god like fucking 10th grade and i'm 22 now and you're telling me she's about to end and i'm just supposed to process this and take it??? i refuse to think about it seriously because these little gay space fuckers are the og little gay space fuckers in my life as a podcast fan and I will miss them so bad ohhhhh i'm gonna miss them soo bad and at the same time it's like i'm glad they're gonna finish they deserve to end and have some closure but oh my god???

podcast consumers can never run out of content about all-seeing eyes and their boyfriends

sophie takagi kaner, kevin vibert, and jonny sims all woke up and chose violence this morning didn’t they

I can’t believe I was like “wow, these space sapphos and gays are too happy” about halfway through the episode and then lo and behold I reach the end of the episode and want to throw myself out a window

proof that your favorite podcasts were influenced by their creators’ love for twin peaks

literally everything. i don’t know why you were expecting one singular image for this. they literally promoted s3 when it came out.

god we were this close to a rita surname reveal

lucy moran and rita would instantly bond

here, have this age list i made for various podcast protagonists for literally no reason at all

Cecil Palmer - unknown. fanon usually puts him in his late 30s. kinda immortal.

Nic Silver - also unknown. literally. and he might even be a real person. i think. regardless, probably 30s

Sammy Stevens - also also unknown. probably later 30s. impulsive disaster of a man.

taako - actually immortal. said to be over 65, more likely over 100. fakes being a moron for money.

merle highchurch - unknown. probably as old as taako. not sure how dnd dwarf ages work. an old, wise dumbass.

magnus - human, so maybe later 40s. definitely lives longer than a normal man. good at rushing in. 

Juno Steel - 39. i swear this lady acts 50 years older than he is and like, 21, all at once.

Doug Eiffel - 36. not known for acting his age, so this feels fake. he’s a child.

Jon Sims - 30/31. holy shit he’s a baby. and the oldest person here. 

Kaitlin Le - 31. the most mature person on this list. 

Joan Bright - 32. she and kaitlin would really go well together. combined they could probably take down every other dumbass already listed here. 

Sir Caroline - another unknown. probably late 20s, maybe early 30s. she seemed like a good mc to go with, since she’s a badass and the only female knight but she’s still only got like one brain cell. could singlehandedly take down everyone. 

it’s interesting how the podcast universe decided the only gays who are allowed to get their shit together instantly are Cecil and Carlos, everyone else must have multiple trust issues and hero complexes

listened to the past two episodes of penumbra (Juno steel plot) today,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,didn’t know the podcast tagline for 2020 was “everybody’s very gay and very dead”,,,,,
