whenever i see a noir detective in the rain i’m like yeah man… that’s exactly where you’re supposed to be
Noir detectives are actually meant to be stressed, it’s their natural state. A Noir detective with nothing to be stressed about, will quickly revert to a more highly stressed state than normal.
Noir detectives require stress to be healthy, that’s why it’s a good idea to make sure that an Inside Detective has access to regular difficult and alarming cases to solve and also a shower they can stand in (fully clothed or not) to agonize, since they can’t go out in the rain. Don’t be alarmed if they bang their little fists on the tile and howl, that’s a normal part of the display. If they sit on the floor and cry, though, they may be overstimulated and need some hard alcohol and a nap to help them settle down.
It can be difficult, but if you have a friend with a Femme Fatale, arranging a (supervised) playdate can be enriching to both of them.
[ID: Fanart of the character Juno Steel from the Penumbra Podcast. He is a lean white person with short, messy blond hair, long sideburns and scruff on his chin. He has a pair of sunglasses pushed up on his forehead and a mild frown on his face. He is standing with both hands in the pockets of a dusty brown trench coat. In addition to the trenchcoat, he is wearing a pink camisole, blue-and-white plaid flannel, a red skirt, black leggings, and brown boots. End ID.]
i recently started listening to the penumbra podcast, and i have a very strong picture in my head of what juno steel looks like to me that is not at all based on anything other than the sound of his voice and the noir atmosphere
I managed to collect Penumbra sketches for you since I have been busy BUT I have been doodling. Some of this is from some projects I wanted to do but ultimately abandoned. (+bottom right is @mx-marrow OC Hieron!)
[ID: A digital drawing of Juno and Rita. Rita has pink-toned darker skin and short reddish-brown hair which flips out at the ends. She looks concerned. Rita is wearing a blue skirt and a pink long sleeve shirt. Juno has darker brown skin and coiled black hair and he is smirking at Rita. He is wearing a black shirt and a black trench coat. The background shows that they are at an amusement park.
@black-taako‘scosplay was so good that I almost didn’t finish my work before finishing this
[image description: fanart of juno steel based on a cosplay. juno has medium-brown skin, curly, dark-brown hair, and scars across his nose and right eyebrow. he is wearing a blue turtleneck and a blue and gold jacket, with his hands in the pockets. the background is tumblr blue, with a gold halo around his head. /end id]
my second art piece for the @penumbrabang! this time for @alexandenight’s fic beware of vacations. definitely give it a read if you’re a fan of angst/whump! this one was a challenge to draw (ew, cars) and i took some liberties from the canon scene to more just capture the Vibe instead but i’m pretty happy with how it turned out <3 they’re in love your honor.
(ID: a digital drawing of juno and nureyev. nureyev is lying on the ground, semi-conscious, next to an upside-down crashed car. juno is kneeling beside him, wearing a concerned expression. one of his hands is holding nureyev up, and the other is interlaced with nureyev’s fingers. they both look a little scuffed/beaten up, and there is a cut on nureyev’s forehead. the backdrop is an orange sky with smoke and sparks flying through it. there are three neon-colored bio-luminescent creatures floating around them, which resemble small puffballs with eyes. END ID)
As much as I love the penumbra podcast, it really needs to have a ‘previously on the penumbra podcast’ thing at the start because there are too many weeks between episodes for me to remember the storyline, especially considering it switches storyline every two episodes
I get that what happened at the end of the latest episode was bad but honestly I’m just happy that Juno and peter didn’t interrupt the wedding to propose to each other
