When Juno smells Nureyev's cologne he comically floats above the ground like a cartoon smelling a pie on a windowsill

The TPP production scripts are so very very good.
Nureyev, grabbing a ripped corner of a page out of an overflowing folder marked “Juno Steel” that reads “tell me to stop and I’ll stop”:
I do not want to see you anymore, Juno.
Juno, heartbroken:
that hurts but I respect your wishes
Nureyev, panicked, staring at the rest of the “Juno Steel” folder before shoving it into the already jam-packed “For Future Consideration” drawer and forcing it closed with his entire body weight:
BUT ONLY AFTER. I help get you out of here. So come with me let’s go. Together. Because that is obviously the sensible thing to do. How foolish you are, dear detective, who I no longer wish to associate with.
Juno, interrupted mid-heartbreak internal monologue:
???

Junoverse season five poster I've been working on!
Featuring the things Juno Steel holds closest to his heart, regardless of the space between them.
Hopefully, he can close that distance soon.
I also wrote a Juno-style monologue below~
People say that, sometimes, home isn't a place; it's a person or a feeling, or whatever.
My definition of home used to be found in a shitty old apartment, the endless bustling sounds of my city beyond those walls.
But the apartment itself was just a place. Home was Benten.
After that, it was a feeling shared between two young lovers. Hope for a future I was too naive to realize was rose-tinted.
So, when that didn't work out, home was the bottom of a bottle and a lumpy couch in the corner of an office.
And maybe that version of Juno Steel wouldn't admit it, but home was also Rita's gentle hands, taking away the bottle and putting a blanket over me on bad days.
For a brief, shining stretch of time, home was a group of six thieves- seven with the Ruby- all squished together on a little ship amongst the stars.
One of those people in particular stood out, of course. My thief.
Funny thing, finding a home in someone who didn't believe they even had one. But, where Peter Nureyev built walls, I managed to find a few doors.
Still. By any of those definitions, I haven't been home in a really long time.

The only way I can express how much I loved the new Penumbra episode is by drawing this.

I am just obsessed with the recurring themes of our lives as stories in the Junoverse.
Alessandra Strong reminding us that there are no Happy Endings in real life, only Happy Middles.
Juno being reminded that stories are a way humans have of trying to frame our lives in a way that makes sense, but real life is not that simple. In the reminder that you might want to become the villain in a story to make sense of it but maybe sometimes little kids who live in Oldtown die and no matter how much you blame yourself, it is just not that simple.
In the way Sarah Steel got her story stolen away from her. Andromeda's story, yes, but also her story. And how she couldn't deal with that.
How Juno tried to rebuild a story to survive, with him as a hero as much as he was embarrassed to admit it. And with the part of Sarah Steel pumping through his veins as the ultimate enemy. An epic of heroes and monsters. The way his life was not a simple story in which there was One Clue that would explain everything, One Answer from Ben that would make sense of it all.
The way Juno got robbed of his story by Ramses. Made all those sacrifices, those actions that felt heavy on his shoulders for a plotline that didn't exist. The plot twist was the unraveling of the story, leaving only pain and sadness behind. The way Juno was able to overcome that. To start a new story, to do with his life as he saw fit.
I also love the reminder that we do need stories like Mick's to keep us hopeful. To gather strength to face the big mean world. The acceptance of how useful and sacred the tool of "stories" is.
The way dreams - stories- like having a life of adventure among the stars with the one you love, or like having a home in a city that means death but also hope to you… that those are also necessary. But we can't live in a dream. And the dreams may pass, but it's okay that we dreamed them.
The way Juno could recognize the brutality of stealing Nureyev's story away from the thief. The cruelness of it. How he could sense it coming, looming from that door. How afraid he was for Nureyev.
The way Nureyev's only way of coping all these years has been telling himself a story over and over again. A story of martyrdom. A story of devotion… In order to keep Juno away and not succumb to the desperation to be next to someone he loves and feels like he doesn't deserve, he has been telling himself this story. This lie of how Juno would be better off away from him. How Juno would never understand the sacredness of his life's work.
All these stories, all these versions of what's going on… All these precious lives being used as little clogs of an infernal machine that does not care for stories. Only results and getting richer and richer…
Just ugh… this podcast…

So since I've seen it come up several times, I figured I'd post the song where the latest Junoverse episode gets it's name.
Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ford
It was about the horrible conditions many miners worked in. They worked in a company town and were paid with the company's exclusive currency that was only good at the company store. You lived where you worked, you couldn't escape, it was framed as a good thing—made your life easier... Sound familiar?
This mind set is also very similar to a lot of silicone valley tech companies. Amazon was also talking about going back to a similar system that just skirted the laws that make it now highly illegal.
The chorus of the song is especially relevant to our beloved thief.
The name of this episode is brilliant, honestly. And even then, I wouldn't put it past Penumbra to make it reference something specific within the story as well in the next episode.
Enjoy!

Also (more spoilers for Vanishing Act) can we just talk for a moment about the parallels between Juno's "ultimatum" at the end of this episode and Nureyev's "ultimatum" at the end of Final Resting Place??
The whole "I love you more than I can say and want nothing more than to be with you but if you tell me right now that that's not the future you want, I'll leave you alone forever"
.....sorry, I need to go cry again

My Spotify wrapped came out! This is the one that’s the most notable. I did the math - over 15 days spent listening to this podcast in total. Considering most of my media consumption this year was Penumbra, I’m not surprised it was on top, but I am surprised that I was in the top 0.1%. Maybe I’m a little proud of myself. That’s wild. Anyone else get this message??

Penumbra team: okay so we need someone to voice a couple of these background character lines
Harley Takagi Kaner, about to pull out the silliest voice known to man:

Finally finished my Penumbra Podcast poster! At least… one of them. This one focuses on Juno’s storyline! My next poster is Death By Dying, and sides of my other two Penumbra posters (for Second Citadel). I’m going to miss Juno and Peter and the rest of the crew.
