Greetings, delicious friends

So many faces in the street. Which catches your eye? || Fallen London sideblog, header from Failbetter Games

Pinned Post (WIP!)

This is very much a WIP, but for the time being, please have the bare bones of some character intros and something to put together for the sillies

A link to my (surface level) spoiler light guide to FL lore!

A link to my summary of the events of the Horticultural Show!

A link to my AO3 (almost exclusively fet)

Extremely brief descriptions of the sillies:

Elliott Marsh (the Ailing Zailor): a transplant from the Surface, who came searching for a man that shouldn't have been found. When he isn't at Zee, he is often found roaming the Fifth City, in search of friends and family and good company. He is currently the guardian of Warren and Arthur

Warren Penbrook (the Blind Urchin): a former urchin who never aligned with any gang, but while she's no longer on the streets, she still very much retains the mindset of "do what it takes the survive". She's rarely seen without Arthur, and is deeply protective over the idea of her independence

Arthur the Cat (the Pessimistic Feline/the Banded Baronet): a rotund orange tabby who considers himself the guardian of Warren, fulfilling a promise to someone from long ago. He is often found menacing the people around him, but in Parabola he's something significantly more grand

Florence Penbrook (the Scarlet-Clad Widow): an employee of Wines, and a notorious scourge upon both society and Society alike. She is a ruthless businesswoman in many avenues that are less than legal, and can often be found in places she doesn't belong. She is Warren's birth mother, but the two have no contact

Dr. Joseph Valentine (the Infernal Surgeon): a time worn devil who spends his days engaged as a surgeon to the elite, and a professor of medicine at Benthic College. He is known both for his brusque and sardonic manner, and his nigh prodigious talent. Rumors abound that he steals souls, but those who voice them are rarely seen again

Bolormaa Otgonbayar (the Scar-Striped Cannoneer): a zailor in charge of the munitions on deck, who is one half of a notorious brawling duo in foreign parts. Rumors exist that he's a spy for the Khanate, but it's difficult to determine whether these are fabrications or a passing of vital intelligence

Rhoda Westing (the Mycological Milliner): a milliner whose works are enjoyed by the upper echelons of Society, known for her use of the Neath's abundant fungal life in her creations. She is fiercely defensive of her reputation, and will protect it by any means necessary

Christine Valentine (the Stygian Sycophant): a young debutante of Hell, intent on beginning a new life in London and earning her place its society. It is single mindedly pursuing a relationship with its father, to make up for lost time and his absence in her life previously. The illegitimate child of the Surgeon, and under the auspices of Virginia

If this is too many, feel free to just pick your favorite!

💤 (their sleep attire) for Odunayo, ❌ (something they would absolutely never wear) for Winnie, 🔥 (what they’d wear on a very hot day) for Zouhair, and 🎭 (another OC’s typical attire) for Silas? :3

Hiya, thank you for the ask! (And for your patience!)

  • 💤 OC in their sleep attire
  • ❌ OC in something they would absolutely never wear
  • 🔥 OC in what they’d wear on a very hot day
  • 🎭 OC in another OC’s typical attire

Odunayo - nightcap's probably made of Surface-silk. Really likes the ruffly nightgowns

Winnie - "never" is a strong word, but she doesn't find the appeal in hoop skirts. She's not very fond of hats in general either.

Zouhair - I feel like their hometown had a lot of hot days, especially compared to a typical London day! Djellaba time

Silas - Outfit swap with Zouhair! She's more bothered by the fact that it's her ex-friend's outfit, rather than objecting to the style.

Individual shots below the cut!

So there she was, wearing Margot's father's too-large coat and an ill fitting tie as she waited for Margot's tirade against the nurse in the next room to end. It wasn't like her to forget, and yet... She played with her hair, much longer than it had ever been, and could only sit there in silence. There was only one explanation; Margot had been wrong about her. She wasn't losing time, she was losing her mind.

Was so captivated by a WIP I was thinking about that I had to doodle something digitally for the first time in a month! warning for art with some blood under the cut

how do you think fallen londoners would react to hanahaki disease showing up in the neath. personally I think they’d romanticize the hell out of it

They would LOVE that shit. The inherent romance of it? Being close to the already romanticized consumption? The floriography of it all? THE FACT THAT DEATH DOESN'T STOP YOU FROM COMING BACK SO YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE DRAMA AND FEW OF THE CONSEQUENCES?

The thing is actual fresh flowers are so rare in the neath that all these flowers and petals would be in HIGH demand. There's be market stands of "surface" flowers made of carefully glued together petals on preserved stems. They'd be used to decorate all sorts. They'd be pulling the flowers out of peoples insides to try and plant them normally. It would be a whole industry

You've opened my eyes... you're SO right. New option on that card in Watchmaker where they can cut you open for medical students but they're doing it to harvest flowers. People are making rose jam that's made, literally, with love. The illicit industry to make the absolute most out of this phenomenon would be unstable and cutthroat and a beautiful mess in every possible way

Ughghggh I need this guy out of my head I can’t live like this he makes me sick. the new earring is him just fucking with santillana

he got the tattoo yesterday. Maddie got the hellfire tattoo. I posted without thinking that it might be mildly suggestive because of the. cough. scratches but oh well one scar isn't like the others (he has more but I was following my dick to draw and couldn't bother)

Btw

I'm proud of everyone who took the time to reach out to anyone else in the community and work to be more social. I know a lot of us are really anxious and struggle to make that first move, and especially to maintain it afterwards, but I know that there was a lot of effort that happened last year. Maybe you gained a new friend, maybe it was unsuccessful, but either way, if you tried I'm really proud and I'm cheering for you to keep trying this year too
