fallen london is actually tailor made for the once more with feeling/subspace rhapsody genre of musical episodes where the entire premise is the musical being 100% diegetic and the cast needs to figure out why this is happening and how to stop it before things get wildly out of hand. now you may be asking, how in god's name is this eldritch victorian london game primed for this highly specific genre? the drummer. the answer is the drummer. i think you can explain literally any kind of musical incident in the fallen london universe with just "the drummer decided it should happen" and no further reasoning would be required. giant bug that rocks out and makes people rock out with it you will always be iconic etc etc

this post crossed my dash and it got me thinking about carousels in the neath... they would have all kinds of figures, aurochs, bats, spindlewolves, midnight whales.. the possibilities are endless

Something hilarious about Wellington, who is/has:

Closest to Criminals

Helped the Last Constable murder her dad

A habitual larcenist (in and out of mechanics)

Living in Old Newgate’s cellars

A columnist for some tiny newspaper

Wasn’t even a concept when I started FLondon

This man is so far from being a detective that the only magnifying glass he owns is a shitty toy one. And not even a cool shitty toy one

In short- I love the Candlefinders, and will eagerly await more, simply to put London’s Least Detecting Detective in them.

by any chance, does anyone know if any of the 1890s editions of uk Who's Who are available online anywhere? i'm curious as to what the real life equivalent of slowcake's would actually have looked like

When someone asks what month the Manager is:

i think if there was an ES centered around lark it would be like. so incredibly looney toons. one day your character arrives in their lodgings to discover their most treasured item, (insert a vast number of tie-ins here), has been stolen from their very own home and under their very own nose and the entire story is just chasing the culprit around london scooby doo style. the culprit being lark himself of course. how does this all end? i don't know. but it's definitely goofy and light-hearted and dare i say a little bit silly

i am once again thinking about Neathy Frost Faires...

would be the perfect opportunity for the Masters to arrange meet-cutes love stories, so i imagine it would be very encouraged, possibly sponsored by the Bazaar even, and the Master could use magic to manipulate the thickness of the ice. Making it thick enough and safe enough to continue... but also easily thinning it if someone displeases them. Hot drinks and faire foods being sold

I imagine January might do something around it and the Discordance. The idea of an Upper River frodt fair seperate from the Masters is a cute idea

The Captivating Princess being called to officiate and kick off the faire in place of her mother and siblings, a beautiful blue and purple dress trimmed in expensive furs.

Adoration or ending players being required to visit same as the Princess. Vast Network endings finding out how much was being managed behind the scenes, duties they now have. Travelling Cloak players also taking over duties in lieu on a certain absence, or Returned endings taking their loved one to experience the faires. False-Star endings maybe getting to see their child for a single day, safe in a secluded area where Fires won't tread...

Stewards having so really cool and fantastic things they could do. Scholars of the Correspondance having some Incredibly Unwise Decisions they could make.

Wellington: Thinks he’s a cat (Lyon Pursuivant and all that). Is an owl.

Seidel: Thinks he’s a wolf. Is a bear (big, easy to anger).

Elise: Thinks she’s a weasel. Is a weasel.

I'm asking this here, but instead of assigning your oc a fursona, what would your oc assign their own fursona as?

“The Adventure of the Abbey Grange”, 1904 / “The Case of the Dead Puppet”, 2024
