Hm suddenly don't know if I've ever asked u this but do u know that ur blog is undiscoverable through the search function ? It's been like that since we first started following eachother so I figured it was intentionally but I don't think I ever asked xD it very well could be some tumblr fuckshit
oh yeah I noticed that a while ago but I thought my app or something was fucky lol. I'm not sure why that is!! or how I would go about fixing it??? if anyone knows???
Rank the cr2 pcs!!! Who is ur fave cr npc! If the pcs swapped classes who would be who!
i'm not gonna rank ALL the pcs because then i'd have to put one last and i'd feel bad (especially bc i genuinely love all of them), but i'll give a top three haha:
1) caduceus
2) beau
3) caleb
caduceus probably became my fave as soon as That Scene (TM) with trent ikithon happened. i'm a huge sucker for gentle giants and low int high wis characters, so i just... i love him.
as for beau and caleb... i just like angry lesbians (and jerks with hearts of gold) and sad bisexuals, so i simply could not resist. the amount of heart, thought and care liam o'brien puts into caleb makes it really hard not to like him and believe him as a fully rounded person. their friendship is probably my favorite relationship in the series, too.
favorite npc is essek, yes i'm so unique and original i know haha. he was always destined to be a fave though bc THE quickest way for a character to get to my heart is through giving them a face-heel turn arc (aka bad guys who become/turn out to be good, and good guys who become/turn out to be bad). i watched zuko's redemption arc as a child and have been this way ever since.
as for swapping classes... ohh, that's tough. i hadn't thought about that before. beau would definitely make a good rogue?? and honestly probably a good wizard too, after all her time with caleb. i could see yasha as a cleric... jester as the warlock/paladin. molly as a cleric would be hilarious, too. for some reason i literally can't see caleb, veth and caduceus as any of their other class though, lol.
it would be kind of fun to imagine cad as a blood hunter... just not in an edgy way, in a "using something perceived as edgy and associated with death (aka blood) to help protect and fight for his friends" way, sort of like he already does as a grave cleric. then again, his intelligence score literally isn't high enough for him to be one loll. ...caleb as blood hunter?? oh, definitely.
Get to know @crykea, one of our artists for winter!
Favourite season?
My favourite season is winter! Tied close second is summer, but I love feeling cozy, and warm with friends and hot chocolate. Snow is so magical!
What is your favourite thing to draw?
I love drawing people in the moment if that makes sense. My favourite thing to do is draw people in candid ways, enjoying life. I also absolutely love drawing and designing cozy winter outfits which is pretty on brand
What is your favourite part of your drawing process?
My favourite part of the drawing process is sketching. I usually sketch traditionally, because I love the free movement of it!
How did you first discover The Penumbra Podcast/Second Citadel?
I discovered the penumbra podcast first through a couple of recommendations I had seen (I'll be honest, I was mainly drawn in at first by JuPeter art). The second citadel however I thought was similar to the Home and Coyote of the Painted Plains oneshots, so I put off listening to it until the hiatus of season one of Junoverse! After I started listening though I absolutely fell in love! There's really nothing quite like it
Who is your favourite Second Citadel character? Why?
It's really hard to choose, but I think my favourite character is probably actually a toss up between Rilla and Sir Marc
What is your favourite Second Citadel episode? Why?
It's a tie again! I love both The Moonlit Hermit and The Treacherous Heart
Anything else to say?
I'm so excited to work on this zine! Everyone involved has been absolutely lovely to work with 🙂

“Juno, are you sure we shouldn’t be more worried about the weather? Those dark clouds look quite menacing.” Peter looked out the window of the apartment as Juno tied up his boots.
“Yes, Peter, I’m sure the weather will be fine. We’re not even going that far, we just have to go meet someone a little bit outside of town, and I’d rather not be going all by myself because I don’t really trust this guy.”
“Juno I know we live on the edge of Hyperion City, and I know you’ve assured me that it’s only a forty five minute walk, and that the fresh air will be nice, but I really think we should just drive instead….”
Juno stood up from tying his boots, fixing Peter with a glare that clearly said “do you really want to argue about this?” When Juno didn’t actually say anything, just stood there glaring, Peter turned around. His eyes were wider with worry than Juno would’ve expected, and it took as much willpower as Juno had to not to say something that sounded too mocking. “Do you want to bring an umbrella?”
“Juno please, I just don’t think-”
“Peter, I’m telling you. We’re not driving, and if it starts raining, so what, we get a little wet. It’s not acid rain season. If it were, I’d at least wear a more fortified jacket. The guy we’re meeting said he didn’t necessarily want us to drive anyways, cars are easy to tail and more likely to get tailed, and it looks more suspicious. A lady and his ‘friend’ walking just outside the city? That doesn’t necessarily look suspicious, that just looks like they’re getting up to ‘some stuff’ or gonna die.” At this Juno winked. “Which, I mean, if you wanna get up to ‘some stuff’ after, I certainly wouldn’t say no.”
Peter rolled his eyes. “I think we should just leave as soon as possible if you insist upon walking.” He looked over his shoulder one last time as he walked towards the door to put on his own boots and jacket. “Do you have everything you need? Whatever you need to meet this guy for?”
Juno pulled out a small chip from his pocket. “This is all I need. Rita really pulled through on this one.”
Peter simply nodded and opened the door, gesturing for Juno to go first. “Ladies first.” Juno left the apartment, and just before Peter closed the door behind them both, he grabbed a small umbrella to put in his pocket.
----
They were about ten minutes away from the coordinates that Peter had plugged into Juno’s comms, and Peter thought he felt something hit his hand. “Juno, did you feel that?”
“Feel what?”
Peter looked up at the dark clouds that had moved over them. “I…. Could’ve sworn I felt a raindrop.”
Juno looked up from his comms and over at Peter, his face one of skepticism. “Peter, please. It’s not raining yet, we’re fine.”
----
Peter stood a little bit aways from the meeting that was going on, trusting Juno to figure things out. He held the umbrella up with one hand, the other hand playing a game on his comms, his focus mainly on assessing the situation from afar. The rain had started, not too heavy yet, but the even darker clouds that appeared to be moving their way didn’t make Peter feel any better about things.
Peter was beginning to consider going over to make sure everything was fine and see how much longer it was going to take, considering they had been talking for no less than twenty minutes of growing rain, when Juno walked over towards Peter, tucking something into his pocket. Peter didn’t even care enough to ask what he had gotten in return. “I told you it was going to rain.”
“Okay, yeah, you were right. Can we start walking back then?”
“Let’s go.”
----
They made it half of the way back before the weather took a turn for the even worse. The wind picked up suddenly, a gust that hit the two of them out of the blue and snatched Peter’s umbrella out of his slightly loose grip. He grabbed after it, but didn’t manage to grab it before the wind whisked it into the sky. Juno grabbed his hand a little tighter, and Peter turned towards him to see that Juno’s eyes were wide open. “Juno?”
“So, you were right. And, I don’t know how much I really want to go back into a city full of buildings that are going to conduct a whole lot of electricity.”
“Juno. My dear. If we’re out here, we’re both more likely to get struck by that very lightning, and also going to get even more soaked. And if there’s any flash flooding, which, considering this is usually desert, then we’ll have to deal with all of that as well.” He tried to keep his voice calm and logical since he could see how stressed out Juno was about the rain.
Juno looked around them. “Okay well….” His eyes settled upon a rock formation that seemed to be relatively close to where they were standing. “Could we go hide out in there?”
Peter walked over towards the rocks, wiping the water off of his glasses as well as he could with how much more was coming down onto them. He looked at the various rocks that were there. “I…. Juno I’m not sure how helpful these are going to….” While Peter was talking, Juno found some sort of small passageway into the rocks. “Why?” The question wasn’t even really directed at Juno, just at the whole event in general.
“Because it’s dry in here and also because it’s cozy.”
Peter bent over to look into the hole that Juno had climbed into. While Juno appeared to be patting the approximately three inches of space next to him, inviting Peter to join him, it was very clear that there was not enough room. “I…. Well, I’m glad you’re cozy then.”
“Come on in, there’s plenty of room.”
Peter just looked at him. “You know, I’m afraid I have to disagree with you on that one, Juno.” He pulled his jacket up over his head. “I’ll stay out here.”
Juno frowned. “But you were so worried about the rain earlier.”
“And now you’re more worried about the lightning. I can guarantee it won’t get to you in there. I’ll be fine out here.”
