#rita penumbra

you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

absolutely OBSESSED with how much we’re on all the same page about Rita’s fashion sense I honestly included B3 for the express purpose of drawing Rita in it so this is exactly what I was hoping for!

Working on some more fun ones rn, stay tuned

Can we talk about how completely devastating Juno’s little “Please” towards Rita was when they were talking about how she had to leave alone… because that was what broke me

welcome to my second part of the headcanon series on Juno Steel characters, today, Peter Nureyev :

• He’s on the autism spectrum in some way. I know it, I feel it.
• He carefully checks if food isn’t expired (after having to eat mostly anything he could get his hands on to survivre on Brahma, sometimes getting sick in the process) and prefers rations and dehydrated stuff because he knows that it’ll never really get bad.
• He has a very sensitive stomach.
• He stretches and exercise mostly alone on the Carte Blanche but if he can he’ll definitely make Juno try out cheesy couple’s workouts from time to time cause he’s a sap and he actually honestly thinks it’s a fun activity.
• He never celebrated a single birthday, and he does not know what his birthday is, the age he gave himself is an approximation.
• Aboard the Carte Blanche Juno teaches him how to cook some stuff and he’s not that bad at it, he’s just not used to cooking for himself or people. Sadly, Vespa will not eat anything he came in contact with (cause she doesn’t trust him enough to think he wouldn’t poison her if he could) and if he doesn’t show or say anything, he’s still quite disappointed about it.
• He goes through his skincare routine mechanically but sometimes, after a bad day, it can feel like the most exhausting task. So Juno does it for him. He’ll take one look at the way Nureyev stares unblinkingly in the mirror waiting to find the strength to start removing his makeup and go help. Nureyev would argue a bit at the start, but in the end he’d just closes his eyes and let himself be vulnerable for a bit, allowing someone else to take care.
• He has secret romantic-comedy stream sessions with Rita when Juno’s busy doing whatever. Since he knows she’s aware of who he really is, and will not tell anyone about it, he’s been letting himself get a little bit more confortable around her. They chat and paint their nails, and one time Nureyev dyed her hair. They’re pals and I love them.

Since we don’t know neither Carlos (WTNV) or Rita’s (TPP) last name I’ve decided that, in some magical way, they’re related

welcome to my Juno Steel headcanon series because this fandom is desperately dry and needs more dumb content, starting with the lady himself :

• Juno’s safe meal is grilled cheese cause he used to make it for him and Ben when they were kid, it’s quick and warm and that’s all he asks from a meal
• He’s insanely good at nail art yet quite bad at drawing on actual paper
• He gets angsty about not having enough food at home but gets overwhelmed by grocery shopping, so Rita gets him stuff he likes delivered when he seems more stressed than usual
• He has asthma + his old nasal fracture that very probably didn’t heal properly, so he snores and can have some breathing complications in certain situations
• He bites the inside of his cheek when he’s thinking
• He’s always warm, especially in bed - Nureyev is always cold (I know my man has perpetually cold feet, rip) so Juno’s his personal heater
• After he lost his eye he sometimes misses the cup, when pouring something, if he doesn’t concentrate
• When he’s alone, he sleeps with a source of light in the room, he’ll keep the blinds open for the street lights to pour in. But since they’ve been staying on the Carte Blanche, sleeping in the deep dark of space, Rita got him an orange lava lamp type thing so he’d have a comfortable light to sleep with (she has the same in purple, and she also got one for Jet when he appeared interested in how relaxing it looked, his is green (yes bacause it reminded her of Ruby))
• He’s ridiculously good at rubik’s cube, or whatever the Martian equivalent is
• If alone, he will sleep with only one pillow, going as far as removing the extra pillow from the bed
• He has a small, fading yet stubbornly remaining, very badly done, stick and poke of a skull on his ankle that Mick did when they were kids (Mick got an equally bad stick and poke of a hovercycle that Juno did) cause they thought it would look very badass
