#there is no place like london

[mysticarcanum]

the issue with the current fallen london event is that it lets you choose the difficulty (or rather, the quantity of explosives you are willing to pack onto your ship) and that's very hard for me, because even though it would likely be much more profitable overall to go on any difficulty but the hardest (which is comically, punishingly difficult) i am incapable of such WEAKNESS. what am i, a COWARD??? pack every last inch of this zubmarine with explosives, lads!!! we sail into the mouth of hell!! DEATH OR GLORY!!!!!!!

#ehhhh its fine what did i spend all that time getting my cider for if not to EXPLODE MORE TIMES #i will EXPLODE WITH GREATER FREQUENCY than you CIDERLESS FOOLS #fallen london #(also wait ive just realized that in a universe where hell is a place you can go and that i built a railroad to get to #saying youre sailing into the mouth of hell is no longer hyperbolic but just plain inaccurate #like. what do you mean we're sailing into the mouth of hell? we're sailing northeast! hell is west! should we turn around??)

oh i can just show a journey through beckett and connor to show you what i mean by i went through this awkward transition phase before. do you see what i mean

#blood sports characters aren't changing at ALL i'm still very happy with where they all are right now #if no one got me blood sports got me you know #but they couldn't have gone from step 1 to step 4 just like that they had to go through several variations on step 2 and 3 #i don't even hate og beckett anymore honestly. i think he has charm #do you like beckett's dark academia phase sdjfklsjfs. yeah there was a point where blood sports took place in london. i don't even know #he has not always been southern this is actually a fairly recent development #he started out kinda punk ish then got grunge then very very briefly dark academia and now he's our country boy. he's been through a lot

Space Bat…. I think Doc makes a good one!

Bonus first doodle:

#the ashen-streaked doctor #visage: my art #fallen london #fallen london oc #he is just a little (big) beastie #still has his bad leg of course. and of COURSE he still has his cane! #tho he can also walk using his wings as support so the cane would be more bc he likes it #glasses are held in place by being pinched around the snout #he probably wears a chain on them sometimes too so if they fall it’s not far #also if I need to tag this as anything lmk!

Mizu, after six months of learning English from Fowler in the hold of a ship, taking her first step into London proper: excuse me, sir, where might I find the House of Lords?

The north Londoner she unfortunately picked for directions: oww righ’, youwull be wan’in’ thee houses ‘a parlermen’. We-uhll, take a leff up there pas’ the bridge, see, an then head norf fer a ways an—

Mizu: this… is not… the same language? Is it???

#I for one kind of hope the boat doesn’t make it past that thunderstorm in the last shot #if only because I think splitting the party for a whole season would be a tough dynamic to pull off #but if they do get all the way to London I will die laughing at Mizu the out of place foreigner with a fuckin Irish accent 😂😂😂 #blue eye samurai #blue eye samurai spoilers #everyone she talks to will be like ‘is this what people mean when they talk about the black Irish??? what??’

ok seeng your haas commentary is killing me bc I grew up with nascar and Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) which gene founded with tony, its a whole story, was a powerhouse pain in the ass problem causing team and then their european cousin is the poorest little meow meow i fucking love it

haas f1 forgot to tighten the bolts on their tires in australia in 2019 after qualifying the highest they ever had and then it all went downhill from there

#they’re so stupid #they placed fourth their first year i think then everything went to shit #they can’t keep a sponsor cause they suck #had to fire nikita and his dads fertilizer company sponsor because they couldn’t prove he wasn’t supporting the russian war and was bad pr #the grosjean crash #steiner every five minutes having to call gene for more money like a gold digger because they broke something else #and that one dts scene where steiner says that he flew from charlotte to jfk to london to italy or something insane #and the guy he’s with is like from ferrari or something #and he’s like i flew in my jet i can give you a lift next time #absolutely insane #not a tag #from saph #f1

Today I bring you month-old doodles of Hallowrove having a rough day at work. Tomorrow? Who knows?

#Hallowrove tag #fallen london #i need to do a good day at work doodle sheet one of these days to make it up to them lol #yes sometimes a bad day monster hunting can look a lot worse than this re: Almost Getting Eaten #but I've always loved how many of the activities the game describes are just sort of mundane or could become so #the necessity of slogging through the swamp for a few hours to find anything in the first place #or regularly scheduled jobs like collecting poisons for the Detective

Love how I just put on the Tim Burton Sweeny Todd film for the first time (I’ve been a fan of the original 1979 cast recording for ages but never saw this film) in front of my parents and it just opened with the “There's a hole in the world like a great black pit / And the vermin of the world inhabit it / And it's morals aren't worth what a pig can spit / And it goes by the name of London” and they immediately just went “Too right I’m rooting for this guy already” (Ireland moment)

anyone happen to know what this thing is?

#in the science museum in london #theres pictures on google maps but those dont say whats in the picture #on the thing it reads the last few words '[...] sends today the world will read tomorrow' #so im thinking its like smth abt communications? #im on the science museum website where you can search for things they have in their collection #but i dont even know what category of thing this is #and they have thousands and thousands of pictures #where do i start #hang on i zoomed in further #'what rugby sends today the world will read tomorrow' #so either this just became more incomprehensible or rugby might be a place? #its a town! around birmingham #but they dont seem to have a lot going on #what are they sending #and how does this thing factor in #is it like cables? is it like telephone cables they all coiled up? #or is this how the thing is supposed to be in use too? #they iNVENTED RUGBY??? oh my god #is this a rugby thing #i admit im not very sporty but. do they use this thing in rugby #i thought it was just pointy balls #turbines? is it a turbine? i dont know what turbines are #'rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work' #could be a turbine?

actually? fuck it. do you know how good it was to hear someone speaking in a cockney accent who was not only a main character in a piece of mainstream media, but a good guy? it was so fresh to see a cockney guy that wasn't victorian streetrat #6. daniel kaluuya did a fucking fantastic job on hobie i don't know why i don't see more praise for him.

#I absolutely adored that he mixed in a bunch of different phrases from a bunch of different places around London and other parts #people who say they 'looove british accents' can get fucked because they are almost ALWAYS referring to bloody queen's english #'ahaha where r u from' 'grew up in england' 'but you don't sound english' #that's because not everyone sounds like they just walked out of a jane austen novel bint #esophagus speaks #daniel kaluuya #hobie brown #voice acting #atsv #spiderverse #across the spiderverse #spiderman atsv

“If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell you” is one of my favorite expressions specifically because every time I hear it I think of the one well known case of a guy actually buying a bridge

In 1968 Robert McCulloch bought the London Bridge from the City of London for 2.46 million dollars. He then had all the exterior bricks sent all the way across the ocean and across most of the US to Lake Havasu, Arizona, where it was reconstructed around a steel and concrete frame, which cost an additional 7 million dollars.

#it’s still there #I went on it like a decade ago bc my mom thought it’d be a cool vacation destination #(we also went to Sedona and the Grand Canyon and other places. not JUST the London bridge)
