I made a bunch of sketches the other month to keep my sanity intact during the heatwave and now that i finally made peace with the weather i can share at least one: Catboy Hiram.

The text reads:

is a grown ass man

steals all your drugs

leaves gory gifts at your door

i'm officially no longer insane in the bad way. only in the "eccentric genius" way and also the "sexy" way. are we clear on this.

I think having "Nightmares" encompass all psychological troubles is an interesting and honestly pretty fitting decision for the game, given the time period. With Freud being on his peak nonsense at the time, ascribing lots and lots of meaning to dreams was becoming fashionable, and there's a certain elegance to considering yourself to be Plagued By Dread Visions! instead of just...coming apart at the seams from the stress of it all. You're losing sleep because of the nightmares, not because of the things that caused them and their effects on you. You're mumbling to yourself and jumping at shadows because of the lost sleep, not because of that other stuff. Just get somebody or take something to fix the dreams, that's the trick! Nothing you have to acknowledge. Nothing unseemly, and nothing outside of your control. It's so very Victorian. It's sad, in a way, when you see it as an attempt to apply a cultural attitude of denial and carefully constructed (performative) self-mastery - that already didn't work well for the real time period it came from, mind you - to life in a cave that kills and traps you and is filled with horrors both beyond, and unfortunately well within, your comprehension.

governor of port carnelian

Marlowe zailed to port carnelian and while I’m finishing her last term I was like she’d probably be vain enough to want a portrait done of her at her current finest. so she’s fancyed up as the governor! ignore the fact that I forgot her necklace it’s time consuming to shade

'You have moved to a new area: The Royal Bethlehem Lobby'

[Image id: A fan art creation done in the silhoutte style similar to fallen london's header art. It depicts the Royal Bethlehem lobby, framed by curved staircases on either side, who's columns are decorated with eye engravings, the railings laced with vine worked. In the center of the scene is the royal bethlehem's fountain. The lobby is backed by columns, each depicting different items, including the lobby's check in desk, plants, mirrors, clocks depicting different times, wall scones with heart imagers, and curtains frame two of the column setups. On the furthest left is a moth, on the third from the left there is a lizard on the luggage, and a cat beside the luggage cart. Two silhoutted figures are depicted in the lobby, a bellamn with buttons, and a lady walking by, her scarf turning into a snake.

The whole scene is depicted in an umber red palette, taken from the state of some confusion header art. The other two images are close ups of the first image. /end id]

I love the state of some confusion art very much, but I always wanted to imagine what the lobby and the fountain of the beth is like, so here is my own take :-)
