Upon wrapping up the latest Exceptional Story I can safely say that it would have been downright painful for my PC, but also cathartic, with his and the Sun-Touched Gardener’s shared longing for Sunlight. The flower and conversations reminded him of how much he misses the Surface all over again, of what he can never have.
Yeah he’s going to need to recover from this.

Playing through April's Exceptional Story and let me just say I've only known the Sun-Touched Gardener for 5 minutes but if anything happens to him I'm killing everyone in the Neath and then myself with Sunlight.

📝 n 👶 for the emoji ask game please :p
Thank you for the ask my good Anon!
📝 How many words do you have posted?
I’ve got things both here and on AO3 but for simplicity’s sake I’ll stick with AO3 since that’s where the bulk of my writing is so uhh 113,485 words. Woah.
👶Fankids: How you do you feel about them? Would your OTP have kids?
Full honesty I don’t really engage with fankids. They just aren’t my thing, but I think they’re cute in the sense that people are so attached to characters that they give them bigger families!
To answer the second question, my current OTPs are Kelly Severide and Matt Casey from Chicago Fire (a bit random I know) and Fiddauthor. The first would probably want at least one kid but decide against it due to their jobs. Fidds would consider a kid only to remember how unhinged Ford can be and deciding against having him do something like take a child into caves, giant’s domains, and possibly radioactive alien ruins. He would also genuinely worry about a baby getting eaten by gnomes.
I’m throwing in stuff about my Fallen London OCs Thomas and Atlas because I can— they could not imagine having kids, especially since one almost sets his desk (if not himself) on fire every other day and the other’s parents would try to find some way to yoink the kid’s soul at some point.

I genuinely can’t remember where the original 4 names came from (were they the default??) but anyway I’ve got the main stats, “A Lil Freaky” for my Monstrous Anatomy, “A Fine Fellow” as my main character fit, and “Zailing!” For Zeefaring and also clothes that reduce Troubled Waters.
(“A Fine Fellow” and “A Lil Freaky” used to be for Respectable and Bizarre respectively but there weren’t enough checks to justify keeping those as outfit slots)
Tumblr media
A conversation the other day got me really interested: How do you guys organise your outfits?
Mine are based on the main four skills, Other is maximum Respectable + Bizarre + Dreaded, Exceptional Outfit A is whatever skill I need for any specific roll, and Hallowmas is meanwhile also kind of that. Needs More Green is the canonical profile outfit (as many green items as I can find, plus maxing out Glasswork and some silverer/Fingerking-themed things)

If you’ve ever wondered how reposting hurts artists- yesterday I found a post from 2012ish featuring one of my Sherlock/Doctor Who pieces. That post had 17,604 notes. It wasn’t my post. My post of that art had 0 notes.
Apparently I saw the post once when it was at 6k because an artist I admired reblogged it, but at that stage I was very unwell & not experienced enough with Tumblr to realise what effect it might have.
Looking through the notes now I see that in the six years since then-
Several people got the design as a tattoo.
A number liked it enough to want custom designs but didn’t know how to contact me so that’s approximately £300 I didn’t get a chance to earn.
Someone used that art in the front cover of a comic by accident and while the company fixed it after I contacted them that’s exposure that it’s far too late to capitalise on now.
If you like an artwork that you find off tumblr, please, please I am begging you search for the artist’s name and see if they do actually have a Tumblr you could reblogged from instead. If you’re an artist search your username(s) every so often to see if your work has been taken.
A few hundred quid might not seem like a lot, but that’s a few months of income for me

Reading through the tags and like what a way to go.. imagine you’re in this hellish memory trip then blink and are suddenly with the Boatman who’s like “you died from dehydration because you didn’t move for a week while being literally blitzed out of your mind on red honey”
what happens if you just drink like 5 jars of red honey at once. you're only supposed to take like a drop or a spoonful right???
if twitch downed a bunch of red honey on their way out of the cage gardens to try and get their memories back. there must have been a few hours where they were having the worst fucking trip of all time that anyone in existence has ever had
no wonder they didn't remember what happened they probably short circuited their entire brain 100 times over

One unexpected but fun outcome of me writing Fallen London fanfics is that I can actually trace my in-game progress with what I wrote my character doing.
