Fallen London Travel Guide:
The Rat Market
A crawling, squeaking, jostling hubbub, precariously perched on the rooftops overlooking Flowerdene Market. Of course, as the Rattus Faber will tell you, the Rat Market is the real market. The human one is but a sad imitation of the ratty glories to be found up here.

I understand this is supposed to be Very Cool(โข) but I'm laughing because it's just serving this vibe for me:
I can't take it seriously. The man's like 5'5", and the hand that is off-screen is probably shaking.
Has Aventurine killed people and is he perfectly capable of killing again? Yes.
Is his personality in my head the fictional equivalent of a red panda rearing up on its back legs to try to look big and scary? Also yes.
#honkai star rail#aventurine#official art#never thought I'd ever label a character#NYC rat-coded#but here we are#I say this with love#you have to laugh at the HSR marketing#selling Acheron as an edge-queen#and Aventurine as a devil#when the actual vibes are#Acheron: Women want me; Fish fear me#and#Aventurine: It's time for Aventurine's Existential Kids' Corner!

it's less us adopting you and more like a-yuan where you ran up to us in a busy marketplace (tumblr tags/dashboard) and latched onto our legs with vengeance and adopted us into your chaos (but like in a good way)
Mutually Assured Adoption. We will take to the town and cause havoc
#ask#non mdzs#In my defense I *did* tag my posts with 'poorly-drawn-mdzs' specifically so ppl could filter it out of the main tag#It's like I'm a cool rat in the market that started doing a little dance for cheese crumbs#and then everyone started calling over their friends to watch The Cool Rat dance for cheese#Now I got all this cheese and I want to share it! I don't know what cheese is in this analogy#anyways. Thank you all for letting me scamper around your dashboards.#I'm very very picky about who i follow (my criteria is mysterious to even me) so i have very few mutuals#but tbh If I recognize your name in my notifs....you're a friend to me B'*) and there are so many of you!#I am finally free to start drawing more so I hope to give back a little doodle to all the kind messages ppl have been sending these last..#2.5 months......aurgh

wondering about Frank and insects but specifically about how it looks like the WH insects are highly stylized, so does Frank even know anything about real butteflies/insects?
& if he saw a real one, would he recognize it? are all of the species names he applies to the WH bugs real, or are they all made up like "Vibrant Eyespot" or "Fluttering Heartwing"?
and then there's the question - does the neighborhood have some of the more 'undesirable' bugs like moths, worms, roaches, spiders? does it have bugs outside of the generic groups of beetles and butterflies? like are there mantids? leafbugs? dragonflies? weevils? or are those too specific/complex/not-cute for the Playfellow Workshop to have included?
and then there's the question of what are the bugs? props? puppets? are they alive or do the neighbors just perceive them as such? Do they even exist outside of art, storybooks, and animated segments? I highly doubt they're alive like the neighbors are, since in the gif of Frank's head spinning, the framed butterflies' wings are moving. which is kind of horrifying if you think about it for more than a second.
just... the critters Frank loves so so so much being a complete fabrication... every piece of knowledge he prides himself on / delights in knowing being utterly Untrue... oof
#by not-cute i mean that most bugs dont sell well as marketable plushies#cute butterflies? round adorable beetles? those fit right in with a vibrant puppet-y world#so it'd make sense if those are the only two bug groups that exist#along with like. caterpillars of course. i can also see bees being a probable candidate for Existing In The World#AGHHHHH THIS HAS BEEN EATING AT ME FOR DAYS NOW#been questioning how the neighbors' consciousness and awareness manifests as well#might make a different post on that since this one has a Topic and id like to Stay On It for once#well. its related. but that deserves its own Pondering#welcome home speculation#i dont know what else to tag this as!#absolutely unprompted#ALSO ALSO are there any animals outside of insects?#does the neighborhood have birdsong but no birds? if one listens real hard to it will they notice it looping?#do they have squirrels? critters in general? is that why wally doesnt know what a rat is? he'd have no reason to.#in his world they simply don't exist.#anyway but i wonder how frank would react to seeing a real butterfly (& insects in general)#the WH ones are gigantic in comparison and overly-colorful and friendly & cutesy#wouldnt it be painful if he was scared of them. if they look too alien. would it be the spongebob butterfly episode all over again#many many thoughts tonight....#but also....#what if he tried to frame a real one. expecting it to be Fine and Alive when he pins it bc they always have been#theyve always been perfectly happy fluttering in their frames#but a real one would fucking die. so. yikes#traumatic core memory unlocked! frank frankly has discovered Death

I think Atsushi could make a great mascot for the ada
#bungo stray dogs#atsushi bsd#bsd#astushi nakajima#bsd atsushi#he can be their anime cat girl mascot or their tiger fursuit mascot#get a guy that can do both#I'm pretty sure the ada actually already have a mascot but I don't care about them#also he doesn't even have to be the ada's mascot#he could be the mascot to the cafe on the first floor#he could be any business's mascot#also in beast au he would be the pm's mascot#and a tiger as a mascot is way cooler than the little rat with glasses#like come on he's way more marketable#he can even have his own cereal brand or McDonald's toy#do they not see the potential here?

bwob is there a playthrough of the game up somewhere,,, or is there one that's planned to be recorded,,,
Im gonna need details from the game but I dont have the recording equipment nor the time to record an entire playthrough with all endings (head in hands)
nope and naur
but the moment one appears ill be there. Ill be there. More so if theres commentary Id watch it 20 times in a row
#do not test me im great at watching the same video multiple times it fuels me#we were talking about this with the rats actually#getting a big youtuber to play ur gaming is like. THE marketing startegy#but i fear its not the type of game for many youtubers out there#Oddly enough. even though I havent seen their content in a while now. I think ranboo would get it#Ah yes small streamer ranboolive surely i can just send them a message#actually i would be very scared if any name that i know of plays my game. Markiplier do NOT look at me i t would kill me#scary. it is scary. im scared

I need to say, that while I love Milo, I am super glad that I'm not the Night Market cuz there is no way in hell I'd be sleeping in the same room (in fact I'd probably be out the door as soon as I realized they were there lol) as anything scurrying about (that I know for sure is there - ignorance is truly bliss in some matters xD). And the NM being the entity it is just gives me the heebiegeebies thinking of bugs/rats/etc just crawling around on top of them.
What? You don't like the rat that is in Milo's apartment? It's his friend! I'm almost certain after some discussion on discord, that the rat followed him from his previous place.
And for anyone that is worried, this is an AU Patreon story. Not part of the main story. Although, rat friend might become cannon.
