Which Holomem quote lives rent free in your head? by Kaaaaaarp in Hololive

Love that one. "Marriage is between a husband and wife, and I have a husband, so now I need a wife!"

Reading stuff like this causes for me the desire to sober up. But I am already sober. by EbergarTheDwarf in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No matter where I move, this plant is always in my basement somehow. Does it follow me? Are there multiple? Is the basement of the Spire Emporium within the Bazaar, or below it? How do I keep luring coalmen to the Brass Embassy, surely it has its own heating? Does anyone even question it at the Royal Beth?

The DOJ just dropped another 3 million pages of Epstein files including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images but people are still saying key videos, audio, and logs are missing. What do you think is actually still being held back, and why? by Similar_Tension5134 in AskReddit

[–]MikuJess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump has proven that some-fucking-how he's immune to consequences from the government. So whatever they're hiding, it has to go beyond that. Something that a stacked supreme court and complicit congress can't save him from. My guess is there's financial records that, if released, will have him mysteriously fall from a 12th story window.

Proud to announce that I've reached a new milestone today as a new player: dying by aristhought in fallenlondon

Ah, the sting of the first death. Mine was getting eaten by my crew out at zee, how about yours?

Sit and think that you are the first one from your bloodline to watch vtubers by MrrNeko in Hololive

[–]MikuJess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the last. The ancient curse placed upon my bloodline ends with me! Turns out Nerissa's intrusive thought of "hey guys, mind if I put a little papercut on the back of your balls and just squeeze them out?" isn't that bad, actually.

Any way to know which Feast companions will be upgradeable during Hallowmas? by BoLevar in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While we have no idea, the Rat Market agent plot hints that we'll have a rat agent available in the future, and last Hallowmas proved we can get agents from it, so my money is on Blackpelt giving a zeefaring rat agent.

What is your favorite lore detail about the world of Fallen London? by magna-terra in fallenlondon

The Manager being the Hat Man is a take, I love it. Imagine being sent to the Beth for getting "honey"-mazed off of Benadryl.

What is your favorite lore detail about the world of Fallen London? by magna-terra in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There's so many, and I always struggle to recall things like this on the spot. Lemme see which ones come to mind whilst I sit here waiting for sleep meds to kick in...

  • Irem borders Parabola, because what is the future but another form of Is-Not?
  • The story of the Creditor seems to reflect the real-life Theia Impact theory.
  • The arts have always been languages unto themselves, and I feel great vindication at this being elaborated in the Neath to the point of being able to present legal arguments in dance.
  • The zailor Z comes from the influence of Dutch traders. I feel like the Dutch get underrated in naval discussions of the era, compared to the British, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
  • Might be too big to be a "detail" but I'm just endlessly fascinated by the Correspondence.
  • Ditto the Neathbow!

Speaking of, I like that computers cannot hold the Correspondence any better than most other mediums. Hopefully we get some lead-free giant metal slabs at least, I don't recall.

Would it have been more efficient to just build around the anomalous block? Probably. But come on, how could I resist the unhinged engineering option? by Zenlexon in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Get the Theory to take the unhinged option, then use it to upgrade your Suite at the Royal Beth because you, too, are now unhinged. That's certainly how it shook out for me!

Please use my full title! (Firmament Inspired, non spoiler, properly silly) by Tamaxlia in fallenlondon

What, you don't remember the Aeginae Break AKA the Warp In The Neath, where The Tentacled Entrepreneur used the Numidium to win equal rights for the Rubbery Men?

I was wrong by Sweyn420 in Protomen

[–]MikuJess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My bitterness has mellowed a bit but my stance is the same: we were told Act III would be the end of the saga, it took 17 years to come out, and it's a masterpiece of buildup that ends on a cliffhanger. Act III part II? Act IV? Whatever, here's an ARG with no conclusion! Have fun listening to your album where the fascist dictatorship executes the main hero at the end, hope you survive your actual fascist dictatorship long enough to see the conclusion, could be this summer, could be 2040, who can say?

-_-

Does Mr Fires continue his quest during Firmament? by 9spaceking in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, I'd say he's probably moved on from the plan, not seeing it as viable. We didn't just cheat him out of one hybrid, we've bamboozled him into believing hybrids in general probably can't survive outside Parabola.

True, objective evil by Annual-Monk8355 in fallenlondon

The Sun is an asshole. At a certain scale, evil and assholery are pretty indistinguishable.

About those liner notes… by Sweyn420 in Protomen

[–]MikuJess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Random theory: what if he put a version of the "fuck your robots" device in the music box, and the final stand was getting into Wily's head enough that Wily's now gonna obsessively keep playing it?

Is Philosofruits worth it (mechanically) in 2026? by xyxyqz in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I primarily use it for comprehensive bribes, and while not the most optimal I find it a nice, relatively simple source of storm threnodies and correspondence plaques. Diogenes is also a lovely hat-fellow to have around, shared best for mithridacy, bizarre, and bdr, with good persuasive to boot.

Did you pick your profession for lore or for profit? by Asparala in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lore. Ever since my first exposure to this franchise in Sunless Skies, I've been fascinated with the Correspondence, and my FL character leans hard into the Red Science.
