I've been playing Fallen London since 2017, if my account is to be believed (although I'm pretty sure I had an account before that in like 2011 that was connected to a now inaccessible facebook account??? We'll never know. My Neathy past is ancient and forgotten ig).
I like Tiger Ballets and Tomb Colonists and Scandal and some times I engage with Tumblr about that. I like people asking questions about my silly lil guys.
I have no tag systems but I tag my friends and mine OCs by their epithets, so they're easy to find.
Characters [WIP]
The Typical Composer
M. Atropos Saturni
The most typical individual in all of London. Atropos is just a normal guy. They promise. They're a composer of mostly ballets and symphonies, with a concentration in Hellish Dances and the Correspondence. They're mostly known for works of a scandalous and scantily clad nature, often involving tigers or risqué material...or both.
They are almost always seen wearing a smile upon their face! ...In the form of an ever-grinning mask. Uh losing their soul came with a little bit of a paranoia problem...Not that they would ever admit to it! But it's fine because if no one can ever see their frown then they're always smiling! As is typical.
They love cats, especially their best friend and keeper; the rubbery feline Matters of Ephemeral Beings (Matty for short). They also love to dance, especially with their dance partner (in all ways wink wonk) Clarence, and manage the Portinari Dance Hall.
Definitely not harboring any dark secrets, revenge schemes, or untrustworthy nightmare versions of themself that invade the dreams of their friends and are trying to kill them.
Definitely not.
The Unassuming Actuary
Mortius Calvaria
Just an actuary. Really.
Well, okay, his boss (Mr. Carrion of Carrion & Co. Ltd Financial Consulting Firm, London) assigned him a client that is having him Seek Mr. Eaten's Name as part of an actuarial analysis on the risks of such an act. Which definitely is...Not a normal thing for him to be asked to do.
But he's very dedicated to the job it's probably fine.
He moved to London for this job and has only been here a little more than a year, so he's still getting his bearings. He's made one (1) single friend in the Neath (which he will tentatively admit is his friend, indeed) a man he only knows as the name Sam and who he has refused to give his name to. They met on the Slowboat and play chess through the post.
He really likes chess. (WIP)
The Awkward Sousaphonist
Cricket Malarkey
Mortius' roommate (read: freeloader) and best friend (Mortius does not see it this way). He plays the sousaphone (loudly) and is sometimes a pickpocket and overall is a nuisance on all of London. Cricket has no money. Cricket has no decorum. Cricket has no body coordination.
He will trip over you, spill his drink on your shirt, pull down your trousers and yell in your ear all in one breath and then loudly apologise about it...while also implying that he will both pay you back and also you should buy him another drink. And maybe compliment your tits in the process.
He's Accidentally involved with Light Fingers (he just really wants that cow shaped diamond) and it's weirdly getting out of hand for him.
Cricket is romantically involved with a Talkative Rattus Faber named Petey. It's honestly kind of wholesome.
Canonically flaming hot nacho cheese flavoured cringefail.
The Sun-Steeped Cultist
Automeris Lux
The opposite of just a guy. He walks around London barely clothed, trying to convince people (and succeeding) into joining his sun worshipping cult that definitely has everyone's best interest in mind.
His fingers are tentacles (also his toes, if u were wondering), he's in love with the sun, and also we've never seen his eyes. (WIP)
When there's a version of your guy walking around who is suspiciously an unblinking, spidery monster whose main goal seems to be to...steal their boyfriends??
Atropos' sexier, more dramatic, spider filled doppelganger. Its machinations are complex and unreadable. Their acting skills? Unmatched. Their taste in fashion? Immaculate.
Last time it was seen...it uh...It tied up Atropos and left them blindfolded, scantily clad, and vulnerable in the homes of their intimate friends? So...You know it's a fun time!!!
i just personally think more people should put their fallen london creatures on artfight alongside their flocs. i just think there's not enough pets and creatures on artfight in the fallen london tag.
i feel like, in approaching this normal egge season you should think of all the creatures of whitsun and beyond and think 'who is this and how can a random person on artfight draw them'
i think you should tell me all about ur flocs pets cause like what if they're cool? how am i supposed to know.
So weird that the Tomb Colonies are considered this depressing, ruinous place cause there's two types of people there; people who are too old/not-dead to look normal anymore...And people who are Too Cool for London. (and like yes, objectively there is a third type; people who are too into getting injured that they became the former before they could be recognised as the latter but idc not the point)
Like they're not dangerous people, they're not like abject law breakers cause all those people are in prison. No it's just the cool people. It's the people the ministry of public decency can't stand (and fuck those guys, amiright??). All the artists making saucy artwork and the weirdos kissing severed heads and academics pushing their research too far and perverts having threesomes on the throne.
If you're going to put all your weirdos too against the grain for conformity in one place you might as well just call it Coolsville.
The most important running list I have is what characters Atropos has canonically kissed/has sexual relations with (canon in my heart not in if the game lets you. i care not what the game says so; THEY KISSED THESE PEOPLE. IT'S CANON). It's so incredibly necessary and gets longer constantly.

-those two thief guys (unconfirmed i gotta finish the ES) [ES The Mirror Heist]
-We can just assume all the masters eventually at some point for certain, even the ones they don't want to smooch
so i made a generator that creates a "the/a/an Adjective Noun" style epithet and assigns them a faction. there's over 200 adjectives and over 300 nouns for a total of at least 5 unique combinations. admittedly some of the combinations will be canon characters, contradictory/nonsensical, or Moon Moon type shit but that's not my problem. the 12 in-game factions are available alongside a few non-faction major players like the tigers just for kicks. i'll go back and add new shit if i feel like it ig.
anyway just for fun, reblog with the first guy you generate please :)
tumblr plz just allow nsfw again so I can post half my zagel art.
anyways uh reminder that I have nsfw bsky/patreon/subscribestar dot adult, all under username @bisexualvending
anyways have uh. Zagel + Sam having one of their ~sessions~ except amber + high shapling arts skills sometimes produces some interesting effects.
probably one of the best things I will draw this year just bc I finally took the time to put a bunch of effort into it. because I was submitting it to an art show. IT DIDN'T GET IN THE GALLERY PROPER unfortunate that I can't see my blorbos up on the wall of a gallery printed on giant canvas. buuuuuuuuut it DID get into the store as postcard prints. which is probably a lot better for me if it doesn't sell lmao, both in cost and in storage lmao
