Since it's my best buddy Enterprisingengine93 's birthday today, thought I'd dig up this piece I did of his two trademarked (not really) characters in their natural environment.

Happy 31 Matt! Here's to many more!🎉

Well, seeing as I cannot perceive the unperceivable... as attractive as that title is. Tell me about Ravenglass (even if I have to read more than 3 chapters of Broken Bird yet.)

I'll give you a booby prize: you're already aware of the Unperceivable One, the Hellspawn, er, spawned it. The whump one? Yeah that. That's what that is.

Ravenglass is still in the I'm Thinking About It™ stage. I don't really have a plot for it, just a vibe, which essentially boils down to Ariel throwing herself into work to cope with grief and trauma. It doesn't work very well. Interally I like to refer to this as Ariel's Villain Era.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to share except bits and pieces of Ariel attempting to meld into the role of Warden-Commander, and how her vassals/constituents might perceive her.

A recent thought that I had was an official portrait of her commissioned to be hung in Vigil's Keep, the base of Warden operations in Amaranthine, and the seat of her rule (though she'd never call it such, as she's not there to rule anyone).

What biases would the painter have? Which side of her would they paint? Would they paint the "good" side of her face, or the side with a scar and docked ear? If they paint this side, would they make her look more human to be more palatable?

Another thought I had regarding the painting was having her painted as the tarot card Death. Oooo symbolism.

Some other tidbits I have:

She cuts off most of her hair and keeps it this way until reuniting with Leliana (so about 10-11 years)

There's a sidequest in the Awakening expansion (which this fic would be based around) where a Grey Warden's dying wish is to give his wife his wedding ring. You do this for him, and discover the wife has been having an affair with the "military wife" justification. I don't know where to go with this but I feel like this would fuck Ariel up a little.

Someone is very likely to meet the business end of Ariel's sword for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time

90% sure she's gonna have a breakdown somewhere

TLDR, Ariel has a Very Bad Time.

Here’s a picture of Northern Rock I got when I went to the Ravenglass and Eskdale railway back in 2019.

This is my first post on Tumblr so I’m still trying to figure stuff out but hi ig!

A thought

If the RHDR exist in The Railway Series, what personalities would the engines have?

Green Goddess: As the flagship of the RHDR, I would imagine she would be a bit arrogant at first, but as she got older she mellowed out. However she loves introducing herself as "The Flagship of the Romney" to the passengers and apart from that, she is a wiser engine

Northern Chief: Level-headed and modest, Northern Chief loves pulling trains, with his favourite being the Demonstration Works Train. Often overlooked. Loves visiting other minimum gauge railways

Southern Maid: Level-headed, she is also quite shy. Hates it when people bring up the time she ended up in a ditch after colliding with a lorry.

The Bug: Really mischievous. Due to his fuel and water capacity he is used for events. Nearly scrapped, but was found before being returned to his line. Proud of his role in the construction of the line

Hercules: I would imagine that he is bold with a bit of a hero complex, especially after both the "Inaugural Train" and "Armoured Train" inflated his ego to great heights. A series of incidents in the 1950's and 1960's made him lose the ego, and today he is a calmer engine, even supporting his fellow locomotives on the line, however he still has a touch of the arrogance, but he is an insecure engine. Hates it when people mention the time he ended up in a car park after running through the station

I will update this post

#sleepy's thoughts #Coming up with RWS esque characterizations for real life locos is tough #Well considering Northern Chief has visited the Ravenglass #He might have visited the Arlesdale #That was one of Hercules' incidents in the 1960's

Jon's Author Diary - August 18, 2023

Hello from cloudy Morecambe! This week was truly special for me. Finally visiting Ravenglass—where I derived the name of my main series from—was a moving experience.  Walking through the very streets that inspired so much of my writing and exploring the beauty of the surrounding area felt surreal and invigorating. If you haven’t been there, I recommend it—the place truly resonates with…

⚔️

⚔️ — Do they have a particular fighting style/signature weapon? (reprise!) I already answered about his fighting style, so now I'll talk about his most-used weapon!

A rapier made of a sliver of glass of the Ravenglass Road (from the ES The Path of Blood and Smoke). He used to wield his replica of the Jaguar Blade, but laid it down after turning back from Seeking. That served as a memento of a god that dragged him to his lowest; this, one of gods rebuked.

ask game here!

The Naturalist and the Captain Francis Morgan are sitting at the table: the Naturalist uneasy and restless. Planning, discussing. The eyes of the Naturalist wander around, a drop of sweat running down his brow. His lips tremblrs.

The eyes of the Captain follow his micro movements, pupils so small it's almost like they haven't any.

The Naturalist face relaxes, he sighs and chugs some brandy. "You'll have to cut me open, Cap."

The Captain's pupils go wide. All goes black, white and red. The Captain, and in front of them, almost concealed, lies the Naturalist: tied and ready on the table.

The eyes of the Captain, dead still but so ready. Nods to the naturalist. He nods back.

A Ravenglass Knife, as sharp as one of those nightmares where you can't wake up from and almost feel everything, slowly decends upon the Naturalist. A muffled scream.

A clean, perfect cut. With care and an almost intimate touch, the Captain separates the tissues. Skin from fat from muscles from bones.

The Captain's expression become stern and focused. Blood is the only colour they can see, flooding the scene like wine, creating unnervingly alive spirals on the table, the floor, the Captain's hands.

The Naturalist never loses consciousness but it's never present. The Captain knows he won't remember anything once this all crazy adventure will be over and yet.

Cut. Open. Separate the tissue from the stone. Carve the bone with a cut as thin as a hair. The Captain's eyes are slightly twitching, all dark almost as if having no irises for how big their pupils are.

A small river of blood from their own bitten lower lip. Hands firm and delicate. Quick images flash through their mind: they're feasting, alone, in their cabin on the Requiem, their galleon; all those regrets, all these twists in the Naturalist's flesh; all this blood of his, spilled in the name of a Much Greater Self...

The texture, the taste. "I know you. I know you. I know you." A candle flame flickering and then getting snuffed out. The candle smiles and glows. The Unterzee, deadly still. An Urchin who haven't had anything to eat in days. The Masters wasting the pleasures of life.

Softly, the Captain chants to the Naturalist: "To eat is for the living. To be eaten is for the dead. And you're not dead, yet. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet." as the surgery goes on.

Their hands, finally done, put the extrusion down on the desk.

They chant some shanties to the Naturalist, while carefully stitching back his wounds, delicately as if he was made of Whisper Silk. When they're done, they lean with some Muscaria Brandy and pour it lovingly in his mouth.

"You're not dead yet. But for now go, rest and Dream of the Dead."

Then they just sit, sliding down with their back against the table's leg, head on their knees, smearing everything in red: floor, jacket, face. And they just sleep there, sitting on the floor amidst all that red.

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THAT THE RAVENGLASS AND ESKDALE HAD AN 0-4-0!?

THIS GIRL IS BABY

[chrismerle]

got back into Fallen London after a couple years of not playing and started re-progressing on the Nemesis storyline, only to come up short when it informed me I need 77 ravenglass (or skyglass) knives

so, uh

what's the best way to grind to sell enough to make echoes to buy them? or is there a way to get the knives other than just buying them from the bazaar? i have 11 ravenglass knives so far

#i'm not like super put out #my grinding abilities are intense #i paid for a bazaar wedding almost entirely by grinding rats on a string #fallen london
