okay controversial take. fallen london and the expanded setting is like the opposite of homestuck lore. homestuck is like a frog boiling in water, where if you read along, all the wild twists make perfect sense in the order you're exposed to it. it's only if you approach it from a larger perspective (like trying to explain it to a newcomer) that it comes across batshit.

fallen london never stops having those moments even if you have been here the whole time and consumed the entire wiki and three games worth of lore. sometimes you've been here for years and still get sucker punched by "what do you mean, the gods' true foe is eye-eating spiders". it never stops.

#fallen london spoilers #listen #i can also casually drop things like that #and there is a large portion of you who will still not be spoiled for any content related to it because #because it really is just so disconnected from most of the canon. having this information will not help you. #it's just something that will haunt you at night like it does me #fallen london

"Welcome to a small, velvet lined box, delicious friend!"

SO UH………………………….. SAMUEL GOT, BURIED ALIVE, IN FALLEN LONDON………….. what a horrifying delight. a little treat just for me. OBVIOUSLY I HAD TO DRAW THIS

(rambling about Fallen London ambitions under the cut)

SO YEAH THIS HAPPENED DURING MY AMBITION -- I ended up finally picking Light Fingers, the "steal a huge diamond" ambition, DESPITE SAM'S ABSOLUTE WORST STATS BEING SHADOWY AND PERSUASIVE LMAO. I was waffling on choosing for a while, until a friend found one-sentence summaries of each ambition's tone that described Light Fingers as the one that turns into horror, which like…. I can't resist flinging sam into a horror story…… and it's surprisingly easy to make the ambition pretty canon for him, tbh -- "Someone you knew sent word that they knew how to get rich in the Neath, and you followed them, but now that you're out of prison they're nowhere to be found." While stealing giant jewels isn't Samuel's passion or anything, his main reason for coming to London was to escape a life in the church that he saw confining him more and more, and thinking he had a friend with a plan down here might've made it seem less like an impulsive nonsense idea. It works better than I expected!!

Anyway IF YOU FAIL ENOUGH TIMES ON ONE PART OF THE AMBITION you can get caught and THIS HAPPENS??????? ITS THE BEST!!!!!! One of the guys involved in the horrors does threaten to bury you alive if you keep sticking your nose into his business (since just murdering you isn't as effective in a world where death doesn't stick), buT WHAT A HORRIFYING SURPRISE TO HAVE IT ACTUALLY HAPPEN!!!! They give you a bunch of options and it's all stuff like "SCREAM" and "SCRABBLE AT THE LID," all of which Samuel attempted to no avail. i love this game so much,

I'm enjoying discovering the world for myself

my dealer: got some straight gas 🔥⛽️😜 this strain called “Seeking Mr Eaten’s Name” you’ll be zonked out of your gourd

me: yeah whatever I don’t feel shit

5 minutes later: dude I swear I saw a brown-boned skinless eyeless scarecrow, tattered into tendoned gristle, sword still clutched firmly in the corner of the chapel just now

my buddy Mr Candles, pacing: is it opening, now, does it open? Are there snares we can grasp, to place them tinily in our flesh, as we will take the flesh of Vake-the-betrayer, black as the knives? Dear deep void those knives. My flesh was not meant for them. And their teeth like the tenderness of insects. Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Here's my character lineup of the Bag a Legend NPCs! It's not my favourite writing-wise but it's the one closest to my heart.

Design notes + pics split into layers under the cut:

april:

she's described as short and stocky ingame so i did give her a body type to reflect that more accurately compared to her ingame art. also let me have this one i like butch women

made her a bit older as well. there's text saying she has experience with infernal ammunition (like that used in the war against hell), making her at the very least in her 40s

fun fact she's 4'10" here. i did use a height chart as reference

sinning jenny: not too much to say about her since she has a canon design as well and i didn't really deviate here. in my mind she's tall to contrast april being short though

mother superior:

she has a gold and beryl mask at the end of the ambition which i thought was cool so it's there

holding an ankh because she's originally from the second city - you can see the influence too by how jenny's rosary resembles one. the mask itself was also ever so slightly inspired by egyptian death masks

that's meant to be a pistol in a holster but you can barely see it

scarred naturalist:

wanted to show off his real identity as a snuffer, so i had some of the snuffer tentacles/flesh peek through the skin

gave him a green waistcoat partly to show his connection to the vake

remember the bit where he ripped a guys upper lip off just to wear his mustache. i didn't until a friend reminded me

the vake: looked at fallout deathclaws and venus flytraps for inspiration! i'll be honest i personally think making the masters just straightforward anthro bats is a little boring so i took some more liberties with it. that's a liver it's holding. whose? who knows.

The canon interpretation of Cards is that the player is possibly being given the domain of games, and I like that! But these titles can be nitpicked and disputed, so The Academic already has their eye on paper and sorting systems. Looks like that feud with Pages isn't quite over…

"rain is wet and therefore the navy's problem" is about the level of response I'd expect from people who thought it was a good idea to round up volunteers to carry explosives. the fact that despite this statement they are undoubtedly about to make it my problem only makes it funnier

pardon the fallen london: light fingers spoilers, hopefully the missing context is enough of a safeguard :)

May I humbly present the absolute worst couple in all the Neath, brought to you by moonmiser milk, master meddlings, and a fair bit of vivisepulture. And also their weird adopted son.

For a moment, you can see the bones in your hand...

my delicious friend phosphor gifted me the fate needed to play the exceptional story The Shallows!! I HAD A GREAT TIME AND SAM DID NOT, and I decided the events of this story (which included Samuel having to do the Boatman's duty for a bit) were a great excuse to make him come out of it a wee bit more skeletal than he went in.

Here is some of my context-free liveblogging under the cut (some story spoilers):

Thren: "hopefully he doesn't mind all those 'you should not have done thats'...."

came for the Far Shore lore, stayed for the NARROWLY ESCAPED BECOMING THE BOATMAN OF DEATH FOR ALL ETERNITY
