Crazy how you can pinpoint the second Rex Glass becomes Peter Nuyerev in the very first episode of the penumbra. Because he starts out as sweet and sickly as he is with Nova Zolatovna- “is there room in that window for two?”, all the purring and the flirting and the running his tongue over his canines-ing.
But you can see - right when Juno tells “Rex” to punch him again - the walls start to fall a bit. He’s just a little too concerned, a little too hesitant, unwilling to keep up the grandeur in the face of this private investigator who Peter suspects is too masochistic for his own good. They crumble when Juno tells the truth about his brother, I think because Peter doesn’t know how to react with true, hard-won honesty without returning it in kind.
And the walls creep back up later, sure - we know he’s ready to go long before Juno snaps the cuffs on his wrists. But I think it’s important that we did get to see the real Peter Nureyev in the first episode. Juno did too. I truly believe that that’s the reason he doesn’t really give up on Nureyev in season 1. Because he might not believe that he knows who Peter Nureyev really is, but deep down in his bones, he does.

My newest hobby is watching short horror films on YouTube and y'all there are so many good ones that I think need more appreciation. Here's a few of my favorites (tw horror, gore, death, etc)
This one is about a US air base in Germany that gets attacked by a werewolf. And guess what! It's all handmade practical effects!!!!
I really liked this one because you think it's gonna be one thing then turns out to be something different in a very forlorn way that I really like with scary stories (I think forlorn is an ok word to describe it but idk it's a feeling I can't often put into words)
Johnny had it coming (I want a funky little creature like that)
SO MANY FEELS
This is about vampirism and love and the things you do for family. I want to see more
THE COLORS THE VISUALS THE ALL OF IT I WANT THIS STAPLED TO MY HEART

We can think of the lantern as a prosthesis made mandatory after dark, a technology that made it possible for the black body to be constantly illuminated from dusk to dawn, made knowable, locatable, and contained within the city.

my prediction for season 5 of the penumbra podcast:
So Sasha/director W mentioned the radicals she was trying to collect, one of them being that people are trying to stop death. Now who do we know that is trying to stop death? The associates that Nureyev is paying. It would be really convenient if dark matters and the associates could take each other down, and it would also allow Juno and Nureyev to work together again and maybe even get a happy ending! However, no idea if this will happen.

Alright, but I still need to know. WHO TIPPED OFF DARK MATTERS?? Sasha had evidence of the distress call!! WHO WAS IT?!?! Was it just a lie??? Was it Nureyev’s debtors??? Do we find out in Season 5???
I haven’t started season 5 yet (doing a full re-listen for prep) and I don’t have answers and it’s killing me.

What lies beyond part 2 is a beautifully executed masterpiece I will never get over. I had a feeling they were teeing Wire up for hubris but it was so fun to watch it actually play out.
