@thunder-threnodies Felt like this definitely deserved its own post. I absolutely agree, and there is some precedent for it in how the Oneirotects help the Great Game spies develop and fortify their "mind palace", presumably referring to the method for memorization through visualization.

Though with the existence of Midnighters and the Great Game canonically using Irrigo and other methods to also alter memories that might otherwise keep their agents from completing their work, I think the two could imply that Silverers could influence more active alterations to the minds of sleepers.

After all, we see the public consensus being swayed in Parabola, when war is being waged. (I don't have the screenshot, but specifically: Provide A Distaction in the Fallen London theater, where the dreams of London's populace are tied to strength in Parabola).

And it especially seems possible when you consider the overlap between different professions, namely the more abstract capabilities of Schismatic Crooked Crosses in particular:

There is quite obviously a manipulable self, and it is definitely tied to Parabola. The Crooked Cross seems to also have some knowledge of this, if not the same scope that Silverers understand Parabola, with even the Beatificator working in the Waswood for their tasks. Meanwhile the Fractionist Licentiate seems to work on the more physical side to manipulate the same.

I love the implications of the self in Fallen London.

They choose to hide the truth of history. Numerous convents across Europe throughout medieval times were houses of prostitution, that knights and travelers had a rating system for what you could expect to receive if you spent the night.

having multiple characters in fallen london is great for a lot of reasons, such as being able to try all options and see all results. it's also great when i'm presented with an option where the bold warning text says 'this will kill you' or 'you will die' because then i get to look down at all my guys with love in my heart and be like which of you little bastards am i going to yeet into an angry mob of tigers to get mauled to death today

Let me know in the tags! I'm curious who we got running around in London! If you have multiple accounts, answer for your main and put the rest in tags.

Oh man, right, some people haven't seen the professional specializations.

For anyone who doesn't know, Fractionist Licentiates are the specialization that doesn't seek to necessarily permanently end their victims, if the job could be accomplished by "killing" the smaller portion of the self that is the actual problem. It can be either figurative– such as breaking the legs of a courier so they'll never deliver a message– or more literal:

For anyone who wanted more context for why the Director Is That Way ™

on a more specific note, how about this: fractionist licentiates differ from their colleagues in that they don't always kill the entire victim, but rather identify the small part of them that needs killing to eliminate the self or trait that they've been hired to remove.

does your FLPC have a specific person, value, or thing that made them who they are today? what would a licentiate have to kill within them to make them fundamentally a different person? is there any such thing?
