Fallen London main: PhiriUlfur Fallen London/Sunless Sea blog

[pirate-poet]

hiya, im omi(they/them) and i love fallen london with all my heart and soul, and also boats

my main is PhiriUlfur, you can drop me a calling card or other social action but i havent played consistently for five or so years

you might remember me from the FBG forums as Iona Dre’emt where i did maybe 1 rp thing and made several jokes

i tag things pretty sporadically but feel free to ask. current tags include most sunless sea islands, sometimes the actual game titles, and ‘still don’t have a tag for this bullshit’ in which you can see me slowly lose my mind over the logisitics of zailing

on this blog you will find: -mushrooms -zee creatures(irl videos and pictures of fish and other marine life) -fallen london/sunless sea/sunless skies content -anything even vaguely victorian/edwardian(usually 1850s-1910s ish) -horrible, corrupting light -general boat things -bats -aesthetic stuff that even sort of reminds me of fl/ss/ss -memes -apparently a master and commander: far side of the world/sunless sea crossover now?? in progress (tags: #still dont have a tag for this bullshit, #salt & honey) read completed fic HERE

general cws: lots of ocean stuff, including some freaky lookin creatures, and cosmic/lovecraftian horror. sometimes some murder stuff

my legacy (meme)

my other legacy (fic) (i promise you can read the fallen london crossover stuff if you dont understand hermitcraft i promise)

If you like the film Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, you should watch the great documentary about the making of it that's on youtube. They built a whole fucking ship from scratch! The cast went to Napoleonic War naval bootcamp! Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany actually learned the pieces of classical music they play in the film!

I think if filmmakers are going to spend many, many millions of dollars making a film, there should at least be a whole ass ship to show for it. No AI. No green screen. Just build a fucking ship and get hundreds of grubby men to run around on it, shouting and running each other through with swords.

While two idiots who love each other play duets.

Bronze, Mariner's Astrolabe, Portuguese, 1645, Nicholo Ruffo (c) The Mariners' Museum

Navigational instrument used by sailors to determine latitude by measuring celestial body heights. Developed between 1460-1700 as a more accurate alternative to nautical quadrants. Found by diver Gigi Fernandes Corcia in November 1999 during a wreck survey at Passa Pau, Santiago island, at 7-12 meters depth. Only known silver-coated mariner's astrolabe. Three engraved scales (0-90°). Brass sighting vane.

Nayuhemat/'Beckett', my sunless sea captain who comes from the last decades of the second city. they may have learnt mirror-working (and a method of hibernating in parabola) from the shared dreams of a certain mr _______… not that they ever found out what happened to their bat bestie

now in 1888 they simply roam the zee with Senbi (he/him), searching for mysteries and profit! haven't found much so far, but they're hopeful. sometimes. jillyfleur keep attacking them…..

HELLO FLONDON COMMUNITY

I am making a spreadsheet of every ingredient in the neath! its very messy but you can find it so far here

copy_pantry

THIS IS A BIG TASK.

I'm trying to find a source for every ingredient that isn't like, directly implied by another thing (such as knowing ravens live here thus there must be raven eggs so raven eggs dont need a source)

so if YOU know about anything that isn't on this list and can provide a source (whether that source be "its in the text of this item" or "this action in this location" or "ssea wiki under "sheep", just please give me a source i can check)

COME TELL ME ABOUT IT!!

send me an ask or a message or something! make a list and send it to me!

AS LONG AS I GET A CHECKABLE SOURCE AND ITS NOT ON THE LIST ALREADY I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT

I recently learned an old French euphemism for bisexuality. It means to be powered "by sail and steam," and it absolutely comes from a specific flavor of 19th-century ship.

HMS Terror and Erebus were bisexual, you heard it here first.

Happy Pride!
