#i cant describe it but they have that vibes

[skeptiiciizm]

I like to think their love languages are physical touch, flirting and kisses.

[sunnibits]

potentially hot take but this is a pet peeve of mine

[moeblob]

That fae OC of mine who is void of color (black hair/black eyes) and is looked upon as a blemish by the older fae and decides to go all out and wear only black clothing with a sharpness who actually has a good friend group who loves their little black hole. They love him so much. He's just their special little void.

ok anyway. Spanner time!!! funny lil mirror-dreamworld false-sun snake autism changeling. Of all my flondon/sskies characters I think they're definitely having the most fun, they are just thriving and vibing forever. The High Wilderness is a playground full of such interesting flora with a lot of fascinating stories to tell!

After aging out of the Regiment gang, Spanner and Kerry spent some time on zailing crews. In the High Wilderness conflicts they pretty quickly sided with the Tacketies. Adaptable and surprisingly effective, they proved themselves very useful to the cause, albeit quite eccentric. The duo earned their shared position, after a few attempts to utilize their skillsets on separate crews proved that - as much as they tend to egg each other on in making impulsive reckless decisions - not having the other to balance them out creates disasters much worse for everyone involved!

Text Transcripts:

In the top left are some quick details. In the style of other Fallen London characters, Spanner's epithet is 'the Incandescent Mirror'. Spanner uses they/them mostly but also any other pronouns, they're around 20 years old and around 5 feet 6 inches tall. They're not human, but a mysterious one-of-a-kind Parabola hybrid. Their role is as co-captain of a Tackety locomotive.

Near the main illustration are these notes: "Spanner's penchant for wearing blue is a holdover from the uniforms of the Regiment, the urchin gang in which they grew up alongside their adoptive brother Kerry. Kerry is the other captain of their shared train, Spanner's best friend, and the basis for their human appearance."

Above the two panels of Spanner hissing with a cat is this note: "Cats and Spanner don't tend to get along... Felines always seem to recognize the 'Parabolan serpent' in them, and no amount of negotiation has ever convinced a cat that Spanner has absolutely no allegiance to any fingerkings. And no connection at all, probably."

The last notes are next to the illustrations of Spanner with their inner metalwork and sunshine showing + Spanner chatting with plants: "Beneath the human veneer is a skeleton of metal, glass, and cosmogone. Their body is malleable and fluid, able to take on new forms at will. Spanner's been 'human' for most of their life, so they're very used to and comfortable with this shape. Their first and other default resembles some sort of constricting snake. Anything radically different than these requires a lot of study and practice to convincingly mimic. They don't inherently know where the joints should be."

"Even when not visible, Spanner is constantly exuding cosmogone radiation. To humans, it's a little chillier than true sunlight. To plants, it's about as good as or better than the real deal, and fungi benefit too. It vastly enhances their growth, and they draw closer to hungrily feast on the raw energy. Spanner is content with this, given their fascination with all flora & funga."

"Through an innate, automatic ability to Absorb Ambient Vibes (taking in residual, surface level feelings/emotions/senses around them), Spanner is uniquely able to communicate with plantlife. They are VERY excited to be in the Reach, where growing things are so abundant, although... Reach flora tend to be quite intense and volatile, flourishing aggressively and clamouring for the slightest hint og sunlight. In Spanner's hands, a verdant seed becomes a bomb. Not that this will stop them from greeting the local greenery =)"

I've not reread wings of fire in a few years (an issue, I'm aware. I'm working on it) and only remember bits and pieces, but I love Thorn and her massive 'only realized im a lesbian after having incredibly underwhelming sex w a guy and getting pregnant but i love my child so much she's everything to me' vibes

[honeyboyfelix]

the most fucked up part about making dnd characters is you can do whatever you want with them but it come at the cost.... of having to actually play whatever it is you come up with

[astral-scout]

pandalily and clairo i am correct

[youredreamingofroo]

I love seeing my non-rain world mutuals reblog my rain world poll, like yes 💞 you guys don't realize some of these lizards could be annoying as dicks and your assigning the rudest and most annoying lizard to your mutual, how cute 😇 /lh /nsrs

[br1ghtestlight]

i dont talk to my dad because he genuinely does terrify me but ALSO because there is no way to contact him whatsoever and i respect his grind of living off the grid (homeless and no cellphone)

[anotheruntitledsong]

i did like the hidden palace but (SPOILER if anyone hasn't read it?) i'm genuinely so annoyed at how Arbeely is handled like... I wish i could be sad but i'm just fucking irritated. I was overly invested in him and that's def why but i just feel like they did him dirty

[ittybittybumblebee]

i think what i want to say is i want to do really cool and weird music but i struggling because i also like a type of style ive been doing on my own thing but i sometimes it feels too sappy for what i Really want to be doing and maybe im just critisizing myself too much in the area. like there could be a duality of style in my music but the only music ive really been able to make has been the easiest starting point i can go off from. but i feel . aughh,. the vibe isnt there yet i guess. BUT ITS GOOD TOO i like the music ive tried to make know but its quite different from my listening style i guess which is what id like 2 learn how to make. more like what i listen to. i wanna do both

[infizero]

one day i'll make my beautiful meticulously thought-out c!tntduo animatic with the chess game from falsettos that lives in my brain always. one day.

[honeyboyfelix]

when you suddenly realize that you have no idea what your dnd characters personality traits are 🧍

[skenpiel]

u guys should watch lake mungo btw i havent watched any new horror movies in years but its a really well written one with a very cool concept

[casdeans-pie]

I dont draw very often but whenever I do I affectionately refer to my "style" as Stuck-In-The-2010s

It just, has that exact look

If you showed me anything I've drawn in the last few years I'd be convinced it had come straight from 2014 era tumblr

That's just where my art style is cursed to live forever
