Oh yeah. Context wise im trying to list every single food ingredients available in the neath and where they're from (WITH sources). Which is. Exhausting and not easy at all, but i am plodding along. In not really one of those people who scours data much but i wanted to write a neath cookbook for one of my ocs but nobody had a full list of food from the neath so i guess ive gotta do it yknow?
Having help would make it more likely to ever be finished! It's kind of a mess right now but ive got a lot of meats at least.
yknow what fuck it heres the latest copy of the sheet
it's not pretty and it's not consistent but it exists and this way you can all see how much I currently have on hand. If you know about anything that isn't on this list that you can give me a source for that's better than "dude trust me" let me know. sheet isn't editable because my memory is bad and if someone deleted what i wrote i wouldn't notice so just comment here or dm me
Oh I just remembered- does anyone have a list of the known items on Dante's menu? Or at least a healthy guess of what a 1890s devil-owned grill would have? I need it for later.
I know there's Deviled Kidneys and Moss Balls (if I'm remembering that bit of Light Fingers correctly).
Canon and implied in canon! It's... taking a very long time. Because I'm just one person, it's impossible to really search for these things on the wiki without already knowing they exist (not really a category listing for all foods mentioned) and I am trying to provide a source listing for each item so it's. Yeah. But if you want to have a look dm me!
So, a bit of a lore primer for those who don't go here: natural law, in Fallen London, is writ by the powers-that-be and enforced via literal light, particularly sunlight. Unfortunately, "natural law" means things like "people suffer, die, and then suffer more after death" and "transing your species is Forbidden and Shameful under celestial law" and "some people will instantly die if touched by sunlight for no other reason than being an 'illegal' species," with the deep, dark Neath being one of the few places where these capital-L Laws hold less sway. There are many more injustices I could get into, but that would delve into the Deep Lore - all you need to know is that a number of people are aware of this, think this is incredibly fucked up, and want to extinguish the stars and cover the world in complete darkness as a way of preventing anyone from ever wielding that kind of absolute, arbitrary power over others ever again.
This movement is called the Liberation of Night - its people are called Liberationists. It's no secret that I hold a special spot in my heart for the Liberation, problematic aspects and all, to the point that if you asked me what my IRL political alignment is, I'm likely to say "Liberationist (of Night)" and only half mean it ironically.
Despite (or perhaps because of) this fondness for the Liberation, I enjoy it when people wrestle with the concept, when they really, genuinely engage with its messiness. This includes things like having characters who are, for one reason or another, opposed to the Liberation even if they are also of the mind that heavenly law is unjust. Or critique of how the Liberation goes about its means - that this movement, so fundamentally analogous to real-world anarchism in its opposition to hierarchy, is prey to hierarchy itself. (That would be the Calendar Council, ostensibly the leaders of the revolution - but its members include an ex-king-turned-luxury-hotel-owner who treats his staff horrendously and a literal nightmare woman who drives her acolytes to suicide.) Or that many Liberationists play into the worst stereotypes of the bomb-throwing anarchist. (I personally believe that nonviolence must be a central tenet of any meaningful anarchist movement - this article explains it better than I can. Obviously, there are times when violence is necessary for self-defense, but it should be seen as an absolute last resort.) Or simply thinking about what a world without light might be like - where reality is a joint creation, where all beings have a say in how their world works, from the forms they personally take to the flow of time and space - and what the inevitable birthing-pains of such a world would be like.
That kind of engagement, I respect a lot. What I don't respect is this particular kind of dismissive non-engagement from a vocal minority of the playerbase. People who won't engage with the concept beyond calling it "stupid" and claiming that every pro-Liberation player or character is a "psychopath." (Mandatory pause here to point out the ableism inherent to this language.) People who say that they "don't want politics in games." (Another mandatory pause here to point out that for many of us, our very existences are political, and it is both privilege and ignorance to demand that stories be "apolitical.") People who say that the Liberation is an obviously bad idea because people are inherently evil and need ironclad authority to keep them in line. (This idea is a construct that has been proven wrong time and time again - read Rebecca Solnit's A Paradise Built in Hell, or if you can handle current events, her discussion of anti-ICE movements in Minnesota and beyond. Certainly, people are messy, and I wouldn't be so charitable as to say that people are Inherently Good under all that mess. However, that the typical response to disaster is compassionate unity, not selfish chaos, does say that we, on the whole, are more than our worst selves.)
And to be quite clear, I'm also rather bothered when enthusiastic young leftists in the fandom (by which I mean players, not characters - it's fun when characters do this) treat the Liberation as the best thing since sliced mushroom loaf. As something that will save everyone and everything without fail, to which ends all means and losses are justified, under which the Calendar Council are our glorious leaders, after which everyone will live happily ever after, and anyone who questions it is either a heretic or has yet to see the unlight - as, essentially, the Rapture, but with darkness coming to save us all instead of Jesus. That way is a dangerous way. That way, applied to real-world leftist movements, leads to things like telling diabetics anxious about insulin supplies during civil war that they should be happy to die for the sake of Revolution. (This is a real thing I have witnessed. It's why I keep the fediverse community at arm's length, despite generally being in favor of fedi's core idea.) But the former issue is more common than this latter one - and thus, I am here writing a 6 AM post where I complain about people not engaging with fictional anarchism Rigorously enough.
Anyway, if you enjoy inversions of the usual "light good, darkness bad" trope and love dark and marvelous worlds that are also monstrously queer in wonderful ways, come join us! Especially if you're also interested in anarchism as a philosophy about building a world without hierarchy and coercion. I'd love to see what more people make out of this premise.
I've been looking forward to getting a Big Eel to ride since last year's whitsun introduced transport-beasts, but I was truly unprepared for the majesty of THE INFINITE EEL SOURCE
In the 7th city there's a absolutely an app named like. Matchm8. And it's highly exclusive and desired, you sign up and wait, and then it pairs you with a single curated match at a time
However this app is owned and run by the bazaar and it is purely putting people together based on story potential. Sometimes this means a good healthy relationship but sometimes it's your father's murderer or the perfect person to enable your descent into madness.
okay, so, before the update, biting mr fires looked like this;
with the shadowy check increasing proportional to your repeat dentistry quality- IE; the more you bit mr fires, the harder this check became, until you literally couldn't succeed at it anymore. this screenshot was taken at the exact point i hit 0%.
but. post update. the option has changed. it now looks like this.
and the new requirement... is this.
and the success text...
this gives an exclusive burden.
i have no idea when this started triggering. i have no idea how this started triggering. i only know that i have done it.
i have officially gone further than anyone has ever gone before.
"Form used by Morgan [the Silvered Pirate] to convince Parabola to grant them access to the Whisker Ways. You may encounter this ratty pirate there, often accompanied by the Piebald Dreamer.
Weirdly but charmingly in contrast with the Silverer's usual parabolan form: a big, orange, fluffy Main Coon Cat."
