i was getting ready for court, putting my long brown hair into two spikes. as i looked at my brown eyes in the mirror, my boss came in. “i sold you to pay our debts” he said. “come meet your new master.” i went downstairs and there he was...klavier gavin
Zak Gramarye would in fact have sold his step-son to the Gavinners
real question to all of my fellow book reading people. how do you guys mark your place? do you use a bookmark, dog ear, memorize the page #, or a secret other thing???? 📚
Second of February (1/2)
I know Juno Steel technically already has a videogame, but I’m just thinking… RPG side scroller pixelated Juno steel game that goes along with the main story of the podcast. Hear me out.
each episode is a different level while the seasons are “parts.” Each season has a different gameplay dynamic- especially season 3, as in each chapter, you play a different character. It plays like any other fighting game, except for the impact that different characters can have on eachother.
for example:
-Rita and Peter are Juno’s support characters, and can give him health if need be, although Peter has the ability to non-lethally deplete Juno’s health at tense points in their relationship (for example, last episode)
-Vespa is a main healer, but only for after boss fights. During fights, the only person who she is willing to support and give health is Buddy
-Rita and Jet have a variety of combo moves together- alternatively, Rita’s presence is instrumental for Jet’s high-damage attacks
-Jet and the Ruby 7 are ridiculously powerful together, but the Ruby 7 occasionally drains Jet’s health if no one else is fighting with them
-Juno’s objective during several parts of season 2 is to protect Ramses. During these missions, Ramses offers a “second chance” (if Juno runs out of HP, Ramses revives him without having to start the level over) but afterwards Juno’s move set is significantly altered and restricted for the rest of the level
And so on and so on, with whatever effects the characters have on eachother demonstrating their relationship at the time
It would be a half puzzle half fighting game I think… especially given that Juno is primarily a detective. also, I think it’d be cool if there were “special levels”- such as The Next Page, where you primarily play as Peter and Slip, or The Monster’s Reflection, where you’re forced to work against the clock whilst solving Juno’s internal crisis with Benzaiten.
additional notes:
-Rita carries a ton of items, and when you ask her for one, they’re randomly generated. Some of the time they’re useful, most of the time they’re not. -Playing as Rita, you have the ability to hack into computers and open password protected doors with ease. Playing as Juno, you have to call on Rita, in which a long lengthy gag ensues
-During Man In Glass, as you run around the level as Peter, you have to furiously play a mini game where you squash down Peter’s thoughts about Juno every time you see him and file them away for future consideration. It’s very tiring, and very annoying, but at some point you get the chance to stop doing that
-Buddy is kind of like a very helpful narrator- “Juno, there’s 4 guards on the other side of the door” or “Juno, Nova loves attention” in order to help you make dialouge or action choices that help you fufill the level’s needs
-During season 1, Juno’s main weapon is his gun, and the accuracy doesn’t need to be worried about. However, during season 3 and beyond, it’s accuracy resets and become much less reliable, and you have to play a mini game of shooting practice with buddy in order to get that accuracy back up
-You can TOTALLY choose Juno and Peter’s outfits, as well as Rita’s

basically me doing coloring and style exploration with soukoku as my muses
In a universe they are…
Young demigods, each carrying unwanted burdens and expectations—unfavored by the Fates. (the song of achilles kind of angst and hades game kind of comfort)
In another,
They are the most wanted criminals of the sea, yet no one seems to have information on the real names of the notorious “Demon Pirate” and the legendary “Stormbringer”……aside from ‘mackerel’ and ‘slug’…(the only universe where dazai gets the fancy hat title)
In one universe,
They are the most feared detective duo of Yokohama. Despite their violent history, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya now set their hearts and abilities on saving people and protecting orphans. (and are father figures to several of them including the wanted weretiger)
In yet another universe,
They are world class figure skaters, known to be bitter rivals by the media. Famous for their own record breaking programs and titles, their rivalry would always be the main attraction of every competition. (only for them to announce something completely unexpected during their last olympic gala performance: their engagement)
And perhaps in another one, or in a timeline they’ve live through in the past…
They are warriors of the sword in their ancient homeland. A fearsome duo—powerful enough to defeat armies; cunning enough to end dynasties of schemes. (yet a tragic time they lived in, a tragic ending they got)
