Informal Fallen London blog, main: @marrowkind, they/them

[alphabetofscars]

Blog where I chatter about FL and (hopefully) my pcs. I've been playing on and off since December 2015. Presently I have:

Silverer, Axile enthusiast - Heart's Desire - my main of many years. Enigmatic, complicated. Slippery to pin down.

Correspondent, Seeker (completed, turned back, still a Seeker) - Bag a Legend and (fingers crossed) Discordance - I've had the account since 2021 but they only recently started gelling as a character so they're fairly new! Will likely post about them the most as I get to know them.

Licentiate - Nemesis - not yet a character, an account made on a foolhardy whim to get to the Mr Mirrors and Mr Cups content, before I looked at the wiki guide and realized It's Gonna Take Awhile.

Some of my favorite FL things are identity/memory horror, unreality, and how non-humans are written. I've got a lot of thoughts about SMEN, so you can expect those. In general I am a horror enthusiast and like when there's a bit of sour and bitter in the flavor mix.

Some Fallen London inspired color palettes! 22 palettes, 7 colors each. I tried to make them varied, which got harder to do the more I made.

I'd love to see people use them! Feel free to modify or mix the colors as needed. If you do use them I'd love to see the art in #neathly hues !

THE FEAST OF SEEKERS

Shunned and reviled

Cast out and broken

Spat on, despised,

But still I maintain

For I never meant to go out a-Seeking

Eaten and eating, the same old refrain

------------------------------------------------------

AND IT IS DONE. Finished this big hunk of a project. Not the biggest mass attack ever, but it's bigger than anything I'm used to lol.

I actually had an idea fairly early on of drawing a bunch of Seekers at a morbid dinner party, so I scoured art fight for all the Seekers I could, grabbed Sims to get some poses (which went about as well as you could expect), and got to work.

From left to right;

Sage "Pitforth" Blackburn, @marrowkind

Caeru Komisk, @thegreatyin

Sibyl Bierce, yours truly

Arthur Blackwell, @thespiderwhisperer

Bertrand Palomo, @allthestarsdevoured

Laila Keller, @vulpine-gentleman

He wasn't in art fight this year so I couldn't officially attack him, but I did include @anannoyanceofjackofsmiles' Seeker Augustus as a cameo.

Now of course, most of these characters aren't Seekers anymore. In fact I'm pretty sure only Sibyl and Laila are curently seeking. But since everyone has sought the name, I figured it would be alright to include them.

To thespiderwhisperer, I do apologize for making Arthur the one who had to stand in the back. For what it's worth, you can see in the front he has a chair pulled out for him! And another chair for a certain guest of honor who sadly couldn't attend.

I couldn't exactly make any of them pose for eating, but I assure you they were likely only waiting for Arthur to join them. As soon as everyone was sat that table got DESTROYED. As in, someone literally ate the table.

Anyway hope you all enjoy this art! I really did have fun drawing all of your characters.

Oh and lyrics at the top are from a fansong called The Seeker's Lament by Jan Počarovský.

Feverishly bangs out a ref for my Fallen London oc in preparation for Artfight. It turns out the secret to doing a turnaround is to have a character design that warrants it.

I had a lot of fun designing the Weeping Scars even if they're a fair bit deviating from canon. The longer winding scars is because the rind peeling imagery in Seeking Mr Eaten's Name stuck with me.

Mr Eaten spurred their interest in the Correspondence, which turned out to be their calling due to their language and conceptualization aptitude. They will turn back, to kill a certain someone. The Discordance is in their future, which I am excited about. A reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely.

Another artfight ref for my Fallen London main. Regrettably only had time for one outfit, but at least it's a fun one.

A silverer pursuing the Heart's Desire ambition, curiosity is a chief motivator and weakness. What will they wish for should they win? Truthfully, they have not considered that; they just wanted to see what would happen. They have a keen interest in all things Axile and hold a deep respect for Shapelings.

Lorelei is enigmatic and hard to describe. Their identity is fractured and malleable. They are many things, with many connections.
