how it feels to research an impossible theorem

[dandelioncasey]

Hmm. I am. Uncomfortable.

I find it really interesting the insights we get into veils when pretending to be it during BaL. Speaking as someone with chronic pain, the way the texts describes the way it hurts to speak and pain in general just was particularly poignant to me

I just think veils is a fascinating character in its own right, with just how much complications there are behind A Killer. This bleeds into the way I made my own BaL character in response

Only in Fallen London can I impersonate someone's coworker and then bite them and then leave

Yeah I'm not done Veilsposting actually. Woops. Anyways, the longer I think about it, the more its bounty has a very clear class implication that goes along with Veils' desire to not so much have a rival, as have a victim who draws out the killing. 4 billion Echoes. Think about who would go for that. A bounty like that, a share big enough to fund your life many times over and ridiculous enough to be a warning in itself, is going to pull out the overconfident, the overly curious, and the desperate. The type of people baited into hunting Veils would end up being: 1. Rich hunters armed to the teeth looking for glory, 2. The odd curious Neathy newcomer who's about to get way in over their head, and 3. Anyone too desperate to turn down a chance at the money, even if they know the chance is low if anything.

The first kind it could be flashy about dismantling, and prideful in its ability to overcome a well-funded arsenal. The last two kinds of people will be afraid. Openly, miserably, viscerally afraid. It enjoys that. There's a reason it takes its good sweet time actually showing up to try and kill the PC in the late stages of BaL, even though it can travel through Parabola and definitely has the resources to just have them assassinated at a distance if it really came down to it. It wanted desperate people to come to it, and it wanted them to jump through the ridiculous side-quest hoops the Scarred Naturalist set out, and it wanted them to show up and be afraid, for its own entertainment. For a chance at prize money they never had a shot at getting.

What I'm saying is modern-day Veils would fund those humiliating game shows.

IT'S OFFICIAL: BETTY HAS COMPLETED HER AMBITION!

God, it has been a very arduous journey. But thanks to Christmas events I have been able to do it

Get fucked Veils

BAL Player: [noticing a pocket watch] Hey, I had one just like that.

Light Fingers Player: Yeah, your dead body was buried with it.

BAL Player: You stole that off my dead body?

Light Fingers Player: Well, your dead body wasn't doing anything with it.

BITES YOU BITES YOU BITES YOU

I feel like every disabled flondon player has a moment in the game that felt personally targeting with the unintentional ableism (ie. The seats on the train scenario, ableist physical assumptions with labour, body horror, etc. etc.)

But for me personally it's still that shitty moment in Bag A Legend where Mother Superior directly excludes a deaf person from a conversation via the hearing and purposefully blocking any attempt at lip reading.

Like that was such. A direct moment of ableist behaviour from a character (and uhhh hit quite close to home) that truly shocked me out of nowhere.

[drholmestuck]

holy shit i just need 2400 echoes for 60 copper cipher rings and then I'LL FINISH MY AMBITION this is so exciting

[lazynoodlepuff]

Wow the Vake is very polite. Thank you for letting me know you are trying to kill me as you fly at me screaming psychically your stream of consciousness

[gala-xyzz]

does anyone have screenshot of the "mmm sandalwood" moment from bag a legend? trying to explain it to a friend of mine
