Second Citadel - Blog Posts

I just want to thank everyone who works on the penumbra. Firstly for building stories that are funny and well thought out, secondly for creating characters that really resonate with both me and a lot of other people. This last second citadel story really touched me so thank you.

Real question

Is Rilla a magnet for bi messes or for messes in general?

@thepenumbrapodcast Has amazing stories, and a canon throuple in their Second Citadel story. I finally got back to work on the sketch I made months ago and added a vine border so it didn’t look so empty. ♥

So....after IDEK how long, I have lined this...next task is to color...will probably take longer than I want, but I think it will be worth it in the end.

So. Second Citadel of @thepenumbrapodcast has caught my attention. I’m sure I will be drawing more...I also need to catch up, but I’m a couple episodes into the 3rd season and I had to draw something cute of them. Because reasons. 

I found these old sketches I did of Olala and oh my goodness, these are such cute sketches. I need to finish the Second Citadel eventually. Also spoiler for 2nd main story of Second Citadel below, if you haven't listened yet.

The direct quote was slightly altered (omitted a few words): And now your boat has vanished, and you are floating on the waves The fish are only your thoughts. Can thoughts bite you? They can hurt, that they can, but can they draw blood? Wound you? No. And so as each thought touches you, do not resist it. Do not grab the fish. You are floating, and the waves are gentle, And they will protect you. When a bad thought touches you, that Is all it has done. Touch. Thieved. Then, let it swim away. Swim away, swim away.

[Image Description] Digital drawing by bmpdraws shows the character Olala from the Penumbra Podcast of the Second Citadel floating on top of water. The water beneath the character is filled with numerous blue lion-fish. The character's tail has a mouth at the end of it. Olala looks up at the sky, drifting.

Been binging this podcast for two weeks and I’m absolutely sick about it.

ALSO, Lord Arum is everything. Sir Marc is the best knight. Start with the first episode, ‘the head of the Janus beast’ you’ll LOVE IIT

I have a couple Tpp mutuals who have exclusively listened to Junoverse and I get it, but please listen to Second Citadel I am insane about it

so im going to list some propaganda for why you should listen to it along with Juno

Less time between episodes you can listen to

theres 2 weeks in between every episode anyways, you might as well fill the podcast less void with SC

Sir Caroline
