Fallen London - Blog Posts
How many times do I have to investigate the tattoo parlor!?!?!?
I've been playing Fallen London a bit, so I drew my character. Meet Silence, an absolutely eccentric man who likes hunting an eldritch monstrosity.
Also here's a sketch of something I found funny in the game:
Because Silence may regret dying in Fallen London due to his new inability to get honey that doesn't drop you into a nightmare every time you consume it, but he won't be complaining about having a new friend to play chess with.
FALLEN LONDON! Deep, dark and marvellous.
Thirty years ago, the great city of London was stolen beneath the surface of the waves. It was not the first one to end up in the Unterzee. It was the fifth to be taken, as part of a vast scheme stretched across millenia.
This is officially the best gender choice in a game ever.
We've had a go at reworking some festive songs for Fallen London, what do you think?
Foxfire candles and jars full of honey, Urchins that carol, then steal all your money. Besuited devils that offer brass rings, These are a few of my favourite things.
We welcome any delicious friends to take a stab at it themselves! There are also plenty from last year.
Fallen London is a place of blurry fog and cloudy decisions, hurtling farther and farther into the endless night of the ‘Neath. Fortunately, you’re not alone. It’s a resource post!

Based off a real in-game experience.
Bonus: the aftermath
Didn't pay my dark bill so the power company shut my lights on
opening flondon and realizing I don't really want to play, I want to roleplay. I want to write with my friends and form plots, that's the exciting thing about this game for me. and I'm always thinking about mine and my friends' OCs and how excited we get when talking about them and plotting, and I'm always writing and drawing and making art, inspired by what we make together.
so this is my humble call for more friends to go stupid over our little guys together plleaseoleaspkease. pleasee. new, old, any character and any of you! this community is so nice and brilliant and I want to create something with all of you - when I see all of your OCs I itch to know them. pplleaaaseeeee . look at him don't you want to know him
What Did The Thunder Say, Anyhow?
Felix goofing off at job no. 1, again. The thunder in these common dreams is fun to play with, especially from inside the storm. He’s a competent Silverer, though, if you can get him to actually do his damn job…
The Londoners…. I might formally introduce them later who knows ???? Not me
A pair of doodles with my FL OCs, the Malleable Smuggler and the Glass-Wrought Gentleman, made mostly as a way to practice drawing clothes. These two need to get those suits ironed out, methinks
I love this game so much
Chuckles I'm in danger...
No seriously, how do I lower Nightmares again...?
Bruh I thought I was gonna get her out of there not straight up kill her
...Jeez. I'm not sure whether to feel guilty, horrified or... Something else...
(Also; yay, more Nightmares! This is definitely going to end well for me..)
Been doing things on Fallen London after forever of not playing and it's honestly been really fun lol
Was Edward like the others at the orphanage, an orderly? I suggest that he was brought there as a baby, and probably doesn't remember his parents. And the jar of hearts... it was probably given to him for one of his birthdays. He just wakes up one day and there's a jar of hearts on the table or under the door, and a letter next to it.
Did he work to become the manager? Or did they make concessions to him?
What about poor Edward??? Who is he? I mean, who is he in the orphanage. I know he runs an orphanage, but dude, Can u explain what he does in general? I've never played the game, I know about him and about all of game, but I've never played.
Another beautiful giggle emanated from his newlywed spouse between heavier breaths.
"Then don’t hold back. Take me."
Don't cry Edward!!!
This is a Russian doll that was custom made for Edward. It's one of his gifts, as you know!
I admit that Edward's mask is terrible to draw
I also like to draw him without a mask. HE'S SO CUTE
I have a LOT of ideas about, no matter how boring it may sound, Eddie's nationality. Of course, he could be of any NON-existing nation, because there can really be a lot of strange creatures in Nita (well, as there are). Considering that Edward is not entirely human, we can say that he is of mixed ethnicity. I like to imagine that he has an emphasis on some letters, which is unlikely. So, either he is of human nationality
For example, British or American or Italian
Wikipedia said that in London, at the time of the 19th century, the majority were “whites,” that is, Europeans. So it can be assumed that Edward is British based on the location.
I'm sorry bit I just love the idea of Poor Edward thinking he's hot shit with his creepy gifts and deranged letters, then here comes Samuel who's even more fucked up than him, looking for some homoerotic stabbing while Edward cries. Baby faced loser just cannot handle an experienced freak.
LAKSJDFLASEKJES INCREDIBLE ASK TO RECEIVE, THANK YOU
but okay listen I think they're on different freaky axes. Stalking, sending someone your skin in the mail, getting possessive and jealous enough to kidnap their baby, those are all ROMANTIC freak activities. Samuel did not get the skin and go "pff, amateur, get on my level," LIKE HE WAS PRETTY DISTURBED TO GET EDWARDS SKIN IN THE MAIL. and then Sam is not really romantically inclined, he is just SEXUALLY freaky (calling him an "experienced freak" absolutely delights me but I don't know if this is true, he DOES like homoerotic stabbing but hes still a confused and repressed Victorian gentleman) while Edward simply does not seem to be sexually inclined at all?? TBH I pretty strongly headcanon him as asexual just based on how he handles love and marriage... So they're just on different tracks.
BUT HONESTLY?? IM NOT EVEN SURE THATS THE ISSUE. gets fully sidetracked with my Poor Edward Is A Kinky Ace headcanons
Thoughts & Evidence: - pain/injury: top - he "dislikes butchery" and seems to have a flair for causing psychological terror over simple murder, but causing people real tangible pain is the one thing he truly misses in his happiest ending. - restraint/confinement: switch - hes SO fixated on the coffin thing but ALSO in That One Very Normal Silverer Option hes fine playing along when YOU restrain HIM, it's only when you threaten to murder him that he actually freaks out - control; dom/sub: bottom - this never occurred to me during the ambition but makes a lot of sense in retrospect... he wants a master to pledge himself to and he's not sure if you're going to take that slot or not so he flips back and forth between pitching himself as a loyal henchman and a sadistic tormentor as he tries to capture your affection. But the only way to actually be with him is to fully take control, to essentially tell him "new plan: i do whatever I want, and you lock yourself in this building until I get back <3" and he's SO HAPPY TO DO IT.
All this to say that like, there's a couple of actual obstacles here, but neither of them are "erotic stabbing is too much for Edward." HE just doesn't wanna get murdered! BUT LIKE THATS PERFECTLY COMPATIBLE, SAMUEL IS ON BOARD FOR BEING THE GUY GETTING LOVINGLY MURDERED!!!!
I strongly suspect the actual obstacles here are: (a) Sam is too much of a bottom to be Poor Edward's master but also (b) Poor Edward is chemically impaired. In the whole first chunk of Light Fingers he's grabbing you constantly, easily overpowers you, and has NO PROBLEMS inflicting death as long as it's not permanent, but after the moon-milk he NEVER TOUCHES YOU AGAIN unless/until you actually consent to the wedding. THIS IS A FASCINATING DETAIL TO ME. He's clearly frustrated with you at points and trying to force your hand, and he doesn't seem to mind you getting hurt in the Nightmare-Orphanage when he's not the one doing it; can he just not bear to attack you himself????? ARE HE AND SAMUEL BOTH EQUALLY FRUSTRATED BY HIS INABILITY TO JUST FIGHT SAM
It's just little Eddie boy
his gaze scares me
These eyes will look at you for the rest of your life👀
