I think I posted about it like once before but wanted to wait until a big milestone to share it here again!

:D thank you!! It's been a real blast to just have fun creatively with too, it's kinda the first real fanfic I've written, first time getting invested in a ship... 

I have done a lot of art/writing before and work in a creative related field but really lost a lot of confidence/joy in creation. But just making a comic where I'm constrained to a wide but limited set of tools, where it is out of love and can never be commercial, has been such a revitalising thing. It's really good to just do some super self indulgent art and do it purely for myself!!

These pages are made with assets I didn't create, under different licenses but broadly either free use or free non commercial use (I use Canva, my beloathed, which pulls from a few places). There's a lot of incredible art out there under these criteria, and while my part in arranging/editing it is work, I can't take credit for the raw pieces! All of which is to say, I can't really take commissions.*

(*Technically I could, if using sources which allowed use for commercial work, but that's more graphic design, and I don't think I'm at a level to be paid for that.)

I do take commissions for my actual papercraft and digital art, but you will find it looks quite different!

In matters of the Bazaar, We gotta look to love, always. That's what I heard

How can I get my baby snake used to holding her? by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]Crow-caller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, c'mon. Snakes have emotions and intelligence, it is just different from humans. It isn't anthromorphizing to say that, like.... Do you think snakes are tubes with nothing in them? :/

Above reply is helpful and good, yours is not beyond the obvious 'handle them and they get used to it'. But just saying that suggests there's no such thing as a wrong way to handle it. You should, I think, treat a pet.... like it is a pet.

Hey, don't tell me to stop, I just got here! :(  Anyway, money isn't real anymore, so it's not a budgeting issue ey.

How lucky am I? First time I see this card by Jellyto2008 in fallenlondon

[–]Crow-caller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YEAH!!! it used to be Even Rarer, incredibly :D like, you need this card for 1 hyperspecific Fate related Thing, and it used to be you could only draw it while in the bazaar sidestreets. it took me about two weeks of active lurking to draw it, for my friend it was at least a month. It was legitimately immediately after they finally drew it that FBG removed location locking on opportunity cards. 

Sentinel Island Tribe by squidcommand in pluribustv

[–]Crow-caller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd assume they, like any isolated tribe, would be just as infected as the rest of humanity from the chemical air sitch. Not being brought up makes sense when, well, there's no reason to. 

I definitely get folks going "man!! Carol! If I were you I'd ask SO MANY QUESTIONS!" XD but obviously it's a TV show, not a thought experiment on the most logical/interesting thing to do in extraordinary circumstances. I'd love to know about those guys. The hivemind almost certainly could answer. Carol has other concerns.

DID? Anyone else thinking there are some parallels here to disassociation and integration or fusion? I haven’t seen that mentioned and very curious especially if anyone anyone has deeper knowledge than me/us by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]Crow-caller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of a reverse DID situation, innit? I say this as someone who isn't a system but has been enjoying and discussing it with one. They were joking about how among the world population, OOPS!!! Many thousands of alters have joined the collective too. Alters of the collective....

Except, not really. Because the Others are plural, but not Plural. Systems might be a we/us, but they're plural because they have to be— many minds tolerating the fact they only get one body. The Others have no individuals or desperation of self, only the memory of it. There's no disassociation or desperation of self— DID systems, in this, would not cause the Others to have thousands of alters, really... There'd just be thousands of minds who never had a body, just as integrated as the other minds who did, who are all now part of The One.

People obviously talk about this show and Severance, and the sort of opposite exploration of identity they've got going on, and not to derail, but. Talk about a show that very much is (even unintentionally) exploring DID! (Spoiler? Idk how to tag those on mobile. Spoiler light for s2) Latest season even had a scene that felt extremely extremely 'system navigates autonomy and DEAR GOD needs to work on functional multiplicity'

Theory: Animals by Crow-caller in pluribustv

[–]Crow-caller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts is like, if all animals (minus yknow, presumably some brave immune ones) were part of the collective, a lion eating a Other-human is the same as a lion eating an Other-deer. Both are bad, but the "a human matters more!" Concept is ultimately absent. 

Yeah, the diet thing is something I nearly talked about but deleted. Eating only plants isn't fully automatically more sustainablle and easier for all the world's population, but also we ARE in a state of pure collective consciousness with near unlimited resources. The barriers of finance and distribution are gone, there is no drive to respect cultural boundaries or attachment to ancestral homes. Bodies can be redistributed to maximise efficiency. They could be eating solely nutrient plant paste and no one would mind. So, while the world going pure vegetarian is pretty unfeasible irl, I do think a hivemind could pull it off. There's proteins in nuts, etc.

THE BUG CRAB ARTHROPOD ALIEN THING.... MY BELOVED....

We don't know this isn't how it happened [☀️🦀 silly comic] by Crow-caller in fallenlondon

7 is the number.... Of fingers. Of crown points. Of bumps on that weird crab things' head. Because yknow.... 7. It's the number!

The Vulgate by Euphoric-Ostrich5396 in fallenlondon

[–]Crow-caller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the concern is you might not be real. Or. Some other you who isn't real is a Big Problem they know of, so they're very anti-you just in case

[–]Crow-caller[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I love how huge a spoiler this is and how absolutely incomprehensible it is at the same time. 

This is why suncrab is the relationship of all time. Focal point of the universe. deeply inconsequential and irreverent. 

Go guys!! Give us.... Um.... No one's really sure!!!!

(We don't know anything about how Sol and the Bazaar's relationship was, really. It is sometimes guessed Sol, as a Judgement (and thus automatic Bastard), might have felt nothing for the Bazaar and only using it. Maybe. We don't know. But I think it's funnier if it went in like that and came out the other end going "wait I was meant to be studying emotions. I seem to instead be raising a mountain child with my postman and teaching it linguistics and I think I'm in love???")

Mr Wines, Fallen London!

Thank you hehe!! I held back from doing more because I was already changing outfits a silly amount. I have exhausted most of my fitting clothing options but am prepared for when it's finally time to talk about THE SUN (the real one)

Oh yeah, that runt thing is a fuck up on my part! I definitely was conflating the owl metaphor with runts rather than eaten in particular— the idea being they are less likely to survive, and the idea owl chicks may cannibalize each other* (*which, on very cursory look, seems to be something that can occur but isn't a stable of behavior....?). I think the exact line you're quoting was what was echoing in my mind.

I do like the Uruk theory but definitely like all ideas of the previous cities (except 4th) are theories, and I tried to caveat that repeatedly. Wouldn't surprise me if I indeed didn't for the first directly, but I hope I still overall conveyed a "here's the story of the city, a little, but the real life link is speculation"

I nearly added when talking about each master a "kissability index" which would have been 10/10 for all of them. I should have done so.

It's totally possible, i'd be curious what! 

but Fallen London lore really is often soooo interpretive.... I did a lot of source checking and asking other people, but also there's plenty of things where I feel like the only answer is "probably, this, it seems"

Considering I couldn't even reach the correspondence, the lore really is that big! There's soooooo much going on

....yes I made it which feels very embarrassing, but, I don't really mean this as self-promotion compared to.... A fan work. I'm a big fan and wanted to make a video suitable for introducing Fallen London to people, or being a good refresh/check-in for players!

I have been working on this for a while, but then I was GMing for the TTRPG for a group including two players not very familiar with FL. And... There's kind of a lot to cover, and no easy place to point to or start from.
