I'm Seph (20s, they/she), Eastern European creative bastard. Here you will find a lot of content pertaining to my dear Lord Oswald J. Emerson (#the decadent parvenu), as well as my fiancée @letters-of-fire's Howard Underhouse (#the bandaged libertine). We share custody of these rascals.
You can see art, writing and videos of the good ol' "hoz" ship under the #damage of a collateral nature tag, as well as some relevant memes under the #howard/oswald and #howie meowie tags.
[At the moment, Noah and I are trying to save up so we can eventually move in together <3 If you'd like to support us and our further creative endeavours, you can contribute towards our goal on ko-fi. Thank you! ☕]
Under the cut you can find plenty of visual and writing references for Oswald, as well as a directory of all of my published fics and videos. I'd also like to give a special shout out to all the amazing content others have created of Oz; you can find it under the #made for me tag.
Without further ado, The Decadent Parvenu:
Lord Oswald J. Emerson (he/him, trans man)
All character art is by my sweetheart @letters-of-fire <3

Summary of my first year on Fallen London tumblr
Howard and Oswald will eventually have a child in the distant future, a butch sapphic called Jacqueline "Jack" Mikhailov! You can find her intro post here. Like fathers, like daughter.
Also! I have new OC in progress called Valkyrie Vesta. They are the leader of gemstone-themed cult serving Mr Stones. She is also an out of wedlock child abandoned by her Russian Orthodox mother, Marie. Marie still believes her to be dead and is looking to avenge her through Nemesis. Can't wait to see them wreak havoc upon each other and the Neath <3
Summer has rolled around once more, and London holds its breath. It was said there will be no Summer Event this year!
So, what is this? The No Summer Event!
In two and a half weeks on August 14th, the Discordance Will Not cause something to happen! Reports from Irem say that this will be the best (and only!) Frost Fair the Neath will have ever had!
So, mark your Calendars for The Reluctant Regent's opening ceremonies on the 14th of August, and head on over to the Frost Fair (this blog!) when the time comes! We hope to see you there for real snow, roleplay set-ups, art and more!!! ❄️
There may even be a guest appearance from some of the Masters- but you didn't hear that from us!
[ Hello Folks!!! This is a fan run event not affiliated with Failbetter games! It will start on August 14th, and continue for 2-3 weeks!!!
We the mods will set the scene, and you the fans will write, draw, roleplay, and more!!! Things will be hosted on this blog, and you can post what you do either in the replies of the post, or on your own blog!!!
The aim here is to give folks an excuse to have fun and get silly with it ^-^
If you have questions, please send them to this blog!!!
As a note: this is a public event everyone can participate in, as logistically we cannot fully prevent anyone from joining. However, we will do our best to moderate. On your end, always remember to block folks you don't want to interact with, and filter their url!
Thank you everyone, we hope you have fun!!!! -Cal ]
I mean, it depends entirely who judges how she handled it. Because if you ask Azula if she handled straight marriage well by incinerating her husband the first time he so much as breathed in her direction, she will probably say "yes".
while I'm thinking about lego, here's the Grace ( @capn-twitchery ) minifig that I made from pieces I found at work. perhaps one day I'll be able to give him a less formal outfit, but anyway I love him
In the spirit of Art Fight, I modeled the kitchen of @thedeafprophet's Fallen London OC Alexander Hastings/The Vitriolic Thief. I don't imagine Alex's shitty apartment has been updated since the Fall, so the kitchen is equipped with an old dry sink.
I also built a standing mirror for Parabolan escapades, but it doesn't quite fit the cramped footprint.
This is amazing I am floored rn. HE'S LEGO!?! HIM KITCHEN. the dry sink is such a perfect detail... all his cooking stuff, the old stove, the tea cups, the maps and papers, the letter... you got everything here this is so amazing
no fabric!!!! the original pattern i use for the base (and then super modify) suggested making tubes of fabric for locs, but i nearly keeled over at the thought of turning thin fabric tubes. and also i wanted something with more texture!!!
so instead!!!!! i ended up finger-crochet chaining a bunch of bernat baby blanket yarn to the right thickness, and then i wove the ends back into each chain!!! tumblr won't let me upload thr video, so i'll add it in a seperate post
Throwing a piece of art here from over a year ago because I realise I never actually posted it.
Pushed to the very brink by the Game, Jones uses all of his remaining capital to get himself sent to an assignment to the Surface--to trigger the defection of a former 'Koloman' agent with whom he'd cultivated contact. It wasn't about the job. It never was. But he couldn't stay in London a moment longer.
What precisely happened on the surface, neither party will ever tell. But perhaps it could be described as an exchange of sorts. Information pertinent to greater powers, certainly. But also that of far lesser import. Secrets never before shared, whispered along a Brittany beach. The birth of novel experiences, new worldviews under the watch of the stars. Names, old and new, exchanged in the shadows. Two moths, emerging in new, yet distinct forms out into the moonlight.
