Do not answer the questions I put in my posts unless I ask for it. Thank you! Fallen london accounts: (main) Correspondent Vaaris arcanaa (bag a legend). Page books (it was supposed to be paige but whatever) (hearts desire + seeking). Mark bloodgood (light fingers). Jimmy Deadwife (you will never guess which ambition this one has) Ive also played through mask of the rose a couple times, quite a lot of sunless sea and sunless skies etc

This is @comrade-slugcat 's fallen london blog, for putting art, opinions and maybe even theories into the world.

Main fallen london account: here

My pronouns are any, you can send asks if you want

I reserve the right to say things that are already commonly agreed upon as if they are new and revolutionary, to try and make theories without all the information and be terribly wrong, to accidentally forget things and have my analysis of things be incorrect or off, and to call the vake a loser

[high-wilderness]

I think the way I think about things I like is different from a lot of fans. I like to make a nice perfect framework in between which is the possibility-space that theories and headcanons can lay. I think most people are just like wouldnt it be fun if the masters had met anomalocarius I think theyd like them and I think about it and get annoyed because a fact I know is the masters dont tend to care for animals unless theyre useful to them in some way and a common sense thing is they probably aren't 530 million years old so this cant exist in my possibility-space and so this person is being incorrect on purpose. This makes me fun at parties

When will there be a mediocre to bad live action fallen london tv show with no money for costumes sets or cgi thats very controversial amongst the fans and creates an influx of people with no interest in any of the games to annoy everyone who likes lore and text?

[high-wilderness]

everytime i try to draw these things fullbody they look more gross and yucky

wrist starting to hurt so thats enough journal review for the day

The plant is clearly from the elder continent but I wonder about the men, did this happen after the first city fell and they spread or was there some humans in the elder continent even before the bazaar came... wandering the country of eden

I wonder why this coral has a depiction of whats probably the bazaar and the masters. A commemoration of something? is every memory of the coral inscribed in pictures, if only you could find them all you could see the whole story of a great many things? Was it made by the coral at all or is this the nonsapient stuff and someone else carved it into it. Many questions!

Is this the reason that everyone loves to lie and say Mr Fires is secretly a good person or regrets it or cares about people and just thinks its way is the best for everyone somehow and theyre just complaining because theyre lame?

[high-wilderness]

Its both, I think. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive, after all.

The rosers are a faction from the second city, the copper from the third as far as i recall.. If they were still active in the fourth city they cant all have disappeared from the fifth.. Maybe it hasnt been long enough for them to be established or maybe they all hide in plain sight

How can the vake appear in dreams of people who havent drunken its absinthe, thats a bit silly to me. I know it goes around in parabola but parabola and dreaming arent quite the same thing and itd be reallly hard to find a specific persons dream from parabola I imagine, so just using that to torment a bunch of nuns is like? You could use that time for so many more things like showing what a loser you are and cheating in hunts

[high-wilderness]

Can you masters play better games than this I have a suggestion: hunt the vake yourself. Get big horses guns etc shoot it with weaponry we all know it deserves it and its power over londons markets seems to be slipping so like. Do it yourself.

I feel like the masters need to relearn what "game" is tbh I think at some point they stopped knowing what a game is meant to be.

[high-wilderness]

it must be so beautiful.. towering over the zee, spinning endlessly like a great orrery, radiating its glow (golden, hateful) over everything..

[high-wilderness]

Is it painful to be a thing that emanates law when your existence breaks it, or is the solution simply to shine brighter and drown out all opposing thoughts and words and rules until you are the one that remains and you make the rules and nothing can harm or suppress you again?

[high-wilderness]

ok yeah considering the New Sequencers are still a thing in sunless skies either they were like who cares about that dawn machine thing its clockwork sun for us or they are the same machine, moved and improved and turning things to glass

Personally my headcanon is the natural lifespan of a curator is probably somewhere around 600 years, and we know that curators are not special little star-creations designed to handle the strain of immortality, theyre pretty much normal animals, so even if, with service to a messenger their bodies could live for 530 million years, their minds would not be able to take it. At a certain point, if they didnt just shut down, it seems likely to me that their only desire would be to escape this awful endless life and find a way to meet oblivion by any means necessary. The masters in london are not like this, so we can easily conclude they have probably not lived that long. Even a single million years is probably sufficient to do that to a person (though results may vary depending on lifespan theyd probably last about 6 times longer than a human does before experiencing the full force of it all)

[high-wilderness]

Personally I dont think theres any instance of life on earth thats only decended from the bazaar, as all of her eggs hatch into "normal" creatures you can or could have found elsewhere it seems more likely to me she just took inspiration from them rather than being the originator, unless evolution actually does not exist in which case I have to take my master/curator designs out back and shoot them and we dont want that. So make sure evolution exists
