I'm still not over the idea that Darren Korb at some point mustve gone "yeah, I think I can provide voice & music for THE MYTHICAL ORPHEUS WHOSE MOURNFUL SONG WAS SO BEAUTIFUL IT MOVED EVEN THE RULERS OF THE UNDERWORLD" and like it's not even a flex it's just straightforwardly true. Who else could?

in #fallenlondon I got the ratwork mechanical dancing shoes that use Red Science to make it "ankle-sprainingly impossible to move off-beat" and I just like thinking about Samuel's shoes giving him no choice but to keep up if his dance partner starts getting fancy.... [no FL spoilers please!]

A drawing of my Fallen London character, Samuel, dressed in a suit and top hat and tie instead of his usual clerical collar, dancing with a muscular lady who is significantly taller than him. She is confident and clearly leading, he has a smile but is sweating to keep pace. His shoes are fancy and half-mechanical, spitting sparks and steam as he takes long, quick steps to keep up with her.

Recent #fallenlondon event had a surprise twist where A FLEET OF SHIPS OVERTAKEN BY EYE-STEALING SPIDERS amalgamated to pilot them has been awakened to menace London's waters. Samuel did in fact lose his missing eye to eye-stealing spiders so HES UH. DOING GREAT!!!!

A three panel comic, fanart of Fallen London. The first panel is shows a small steam ship belonging to my Fallen London character, Samuel, approaching the shadows of two large wrecks. The shipwrecks are wrapped in spiderwebs with small spiders scuttling all over, and large spider-council amalgamations of many spiders fused together are spilling over the decks. The second panel shows two of the crew on Samuel's ship, one yelling "Spiders! They take your mind, I heard, if-" as Samuel steps out on deck and stares out at the wrecks. The final panel has an offscreen sailor ask "...Captain?" as Samuel continues to only stare in horror, one hand reaching towards the eyepatch over his missing eye. Behind him, in more vibrant colours, is the memory of spiders pouring into the water and stealing his eye, a symbolic streak of blood running past his face.

Delightful option in #fallenlondon to hire a sliver of your own reflection, an incomplete version that does not speak and is implied to have failed at your ambition. I got attached and started thinking too much about Sam's........ [no unrelated spoilers please! im still playing through the game]

Drawing of what looks like my Fallen London character, Samuel Ashman, but is actually another version of him from inside the mirror -- he's missing most of his scars, and the one scar that is visible (a prominent, poorly stitched scar on his forehead) is on the opposite side. He's also wearing just a cassock under his coat, and his fingers are bloody and badly scraped with broken nails, with a dusting of dark soil over his coat. There's a couple of extra drawings of him, one giving a curious, silent tilt of the head, and the other holding up his hands and backing off nervouslyA drawing of two characters who both look like my Fallen London character, Samuel, but are actually both different reflections of him, reacting to the question "Would you smooch your original?" Samuel's main reflection, Lyon Ashman, is dressed slightly fancier than normal Samuel, and narrows his eyes with a dubious smirk. The Silent Partner, a reflection of Samuel before he got most of his scars, folds his arms and blushes frustratedly. The main reflection is labelled "No. What!? No" while the silent partner is labelled "....maybe....."

What does Poor Edward do for Hallowmas normally?? Does he participate or is it annoying when everyone is masked? Ive decided my money's on: wears normal mask, no attempt to hide his identity, "confesses" his various unsettling crimes to unsuspecting londoners and has a great time

A drawing of a victorian lady in a Hallowmas mask that resembles a moth's wings, looking straight ahead as Poor Edward, in his uncanny tragedy mask, leans close to her ear to whisper something to her. Edward is smiling and pleased to share; the lady looks horrified.

do u really think that jesus would prioritise ANYTHING over feeding hungry people? That one seems like a no-brainer to me!! "Well, we may not be feeding the hungry, but we HAVE made sure people violating niche religious laws are suffering" you are in the bible and you're not the good guys
