i know it will literally never happen, because nureyev has gotta let this guy go for his arc to be completed, but I've recently fallen in love with the idea of slip getting resurrected and meeting vespa because like. he is a boy after her own heart. medical laws? they only exist to be broken. ethics? what are those? sure, i'll take my own homemade hallucinogenics. sure, i'll risk my life and mess with dangerous people to get the formula juuuuuust right. yeah, i could go for a self-induced highly contagious illness or two. there is no god, because i killed him with my biochemical crimes against nature. there is no doubt in my mind that vespa would meet this kid and immediately be like "FINALLY i have a new lab partner!!!! let's go blow some shit up, kid!!!"

(inspired by this thread from @waters-and-the-wilde, @smidgen-of-hotboy, and myself)

juno steel is actually so real because he went from rolling on the floor seething abt slip but then he saw slip jackson and was like "...and he has tattoos...he has tattoos <3" but then saw peter nureyev and reminded himself that he has a mission he needs to complete

“Your greatest sin was you destroyed yourself for nothing”

Peter worked so hard to pay off his debts to provide for slips medical treatments to the point where he no longer has a life of his own more rather he now lives to revive a long dead lover

“Even mars had water on its surface once”

Maybe just maybe Juno’s life was already so perfect he had a good paying job a lovely partner who he was getting married to a lady wouldn’t have asked for more but if only he never found out perhaps he still would’ve been married by now

“Jupiter was supposed to be a star but failed”

Slip was a prodigy chemist he per-cured drugs that work within minutes with surprisingly good affect effects unfortunately for him he never was good with dealing with the cards he was given anyways

twenty years of guilt

[ID: two digital drawings of nureyev and slip. in the first, a young, long haired nureyev sits beside the bed where slip lies comatose, a hand on his shoulder. in the second image, present day nureyev sits with his back against comatose slip's bed, clutching his head in his hands and crying. the words "MY FAULT" are written over and over in red capitals across both drawings.

okay okay okay wait i have just experienced A Thought

so it's been established that the title of the most recent juno steel eps comes from the coal miner song "sixteen tons", most notably covered by tennessee ernie ford. you can find it on youtube or spotify, but it's about the backbreaking labor and dangerous conditions these miners would go through for very little pay, and because of this, the most obvious reading is that this song title was chosen to be about nureyev working to keep slip alive for years only to discover that the dokana group was screwing him over.

but. what if the song title wasn't just in relation to nureyev but to slip as well?

stick with me for a minute here, because i've got some interesting thoughts about this.

the lyrics of the first verse focus on how the people in power think that the men working beneath them are just soulless lumps of dirt when in reality they are people made of "muscle and blood and skin and bones" who are purposefully under-educated ("a mind that's a-weak") so they can only do manual labor for a living ("and a back that's strong"). slip's intention with his drug formula was to give people an escape from reality. he wanted to help those people who could do nothing but work and wanted to flip off the pharma corps by making it easily affordable and non-addictive. the first verse is basically a summary of the motives that drove him to that game of rangian street poker with the executives that brought him where he is now.

the chorus is even more interesting.

yeah, you really could interpret this in relation to peter's quest for slip's resurrection, but it could also get connected to slip's dedication to creating this drug. peter flat out told us that slip put A LOT of work and testing into it and it wasn't just something that happened overnight. however, what specifically stands out to me here is the last two lines and the reference to st. peter. in sixteen tons part 2, slip basically gives peter permission to let him go (see this post from @smidgen-of-hotboy). if we're reading this from slip's pov, the song is just reiterating that message: peter can let slip go. he knew the risks he was taking by tangling with the executives and stealing from them so his soul is really the one that is owed "to the company store", which is why slip wouldn't want peter to "call him" (resurrect him) because he made the decisions and mistakes so he would want to be the one paying for them. every day that peter leaves him alive is just another day slip is getting older and not better. every day peter leaves slip alive is another day his debt is growing larger. for the sake of his own wellbeing, peter HAS to let slip go.

the rest of the verses are basically a summary of nureyev's story thus far (verse two being his new story being born as he starts working for the dokana group, verse three being his interactions with juno and leaving him at the end of season 4, and verse 4 being the absolute ass-kicking he's about to hand the dokana group) but with the chorus that is just chock-full of slip's voice getting repeated between those verses, it just almost feels like slip is begging to be let go but peter, being peter, won't listen. it's very interesting stuff.
