#fallen london curators

[squeaky-warrior]

Hey, Fallon London Fans

...which is probably very few of my followers but hey that's how it goes. Anyway, I made a picrew for making custom Curators and I'm very excited about it! :0

I do intend to add more stuff to it later but it took so much effort to just do this much, I just wanted to get it done XP

Feel free to send me suggestions for it though, even if they'll take a while! (Also if there's any art errors, let me know about that also please.)

Here's my own Curator OC I made using this, Mr. Keys (who's based on a Townsend's Big Eared Bat):

So yeah! Reblog this or tag me with the Curators you make, I wanna see 'em! :3

Curators are a species made by @failbettergames and featured in their browser game Fallen London, (which I highly recommend,) as well as two of their other games in the same universe, Sunless Seas and Sunless Skies. They are kind of hidden and secret though so if you don't know them this is technically kind of a spoiler, sorry XP

#slight inspiration from moonstruck stormy's design. but also in the end the influence turned out to be *very* slight #sunless skies #failbetter games #actually im putting this in the fl tag too because it involves my thoughts for curator clothes #fallen london #art #digital art #drawing #digital drawing #anyway i've always imagined barleycorn as some form of black + red/brown. but i only today realised i could make its eyes so.. halved-like #the fact that what it's wearing turned out apron-like is honestly mostly a coincidence #only so many ways to design curator clothes without unwanted excess clipping of wing membranes...... #or just wrapping them in a blanket

[i.d. three photos of a black and green crocheted bat wearing a green cloak. in the first photo the hood is pulled up to hide the ears and face. in the second photo it is pulled down. in the third photo the cloak is unbuttoned, revealing two toned wings. end i.d.] @solariium made me a birthday/feast of the rose gift!!!!! a little crocheted veils, using the mr pages pattern!!!! (they modified it to be smaller and have the ruffle and bi-colored wings) i adore it so so sos soooo fucking much (and am likely to ask them to make more)

By Curator standards is Mr Hearts/Apples bisexual

#fallen london #this was a shitpost but maybe it's more like bigender?? given the role that collection has as a defining identity trait #curious now whether curators think of their collections as a natural interest they can't consciously sway or a thing they have choice in #like did Mr Fires choose to be Mr Fires? or did it just always like that category of things and start hoarding? #anyway happles is funny #i wonder if it sees its two identities as the same category somehow #just living things related in general #and it's only humans that care to make a distinction between plant and animal

[the-dye-stained-socialite]

I've never talked about it before but i headcanon that curators face nuzzle instead of kiss! specifically they will touch foreheads and noses together and make a kind of diamond shape. it would be a very intimate sign of trust for a species with horns and mobile teeth! you are putting an important part of yourself (face) right within range of two of your partner's main weapons!! especially since full size curators have venom and sound beam attack! very very intimate!! but i like to think they do this as a kiss equivalent! and then after they break it off they will give the other a lick on the nose! this also leads to occasionally horns getting tangled

i also think as a show of dominance, one curator will bite another's ear! the amount of damage caused (ranging from none/a little nibbled all the way up to taking a chunk out) depends highly on context: breeding, teasing, discipline, trade conflict, ect!

You hear a ripple of pings and wave of rustles through the crowd as everyone retrieves their phone. News? Then, it dissolves into silence. When you check yours: an airdropped .png containing "QUIET.", talon-scraped onto a slate.

You turn with the crowd. Herrn Eisen approaches, sweeping across the tarmac.

been thinking a lot about the neon future and what the masters are up to. i picture mr iron absolutely REVELLING (it doesn't show it) in the ability to effectively shout by airdropping words to everyone nearby.

i have ideas for (almost) every master already, but i'd love to hear other peoples' thoughts!

Romance in the Neath: Melancholic Curate

You have your eye on a handsome curate.

The Melancholic Curate is indeed gloomy, but burningly charismatic up close.

His voice is soothing, and you can admire his profile at your leisure…

It has blood on its hands that can never be washed clean- oh wait never mind that's just all the ink. It's fine.

But it also has blood on its hands.

Maybe two Curators with close interests would hunt for things they know the other would like (but that they could still plausibly want) and pretend it's something for their own hoard that they really don't want to part with but if the other one insists has such an interesting thing to exchange for... (The other did the same exact thing)

Trying to act like “Oh how did THIS little thing get in my pile, I was just trying to collect some botanical samples when this absolutely USELESS rare entomological subject got in here, guess I’ll throw it away into the void of space-“ fully aware of the scientific name and classification of said insect, because its partner spent the last two weeks going on and on about this genus, and pretending that it won’t make just the weakest trade ever so it can hear them smile~

[anomalouscorvid]

because it's been so long since i first made one and i've done nothing else today, i decided to make a fallen london oc generator on perchance again. because who doesn't love randomly-generated characters

#fallen london #failbetter games #if you get a curator then go find a random noun generator to use as well. for the full randomly-generated experience

a colored sketch of Mr Cures : ) just entirely unnatural in coloration, to reflect how ascension came about! their previous title was the Khan of Teeth, but Mr Cures changed titles because, well, good lord these Londoners know nothing of dentistry or caring for the self. Mr Cures is responsible for much of the "laymans knowledge" of "folksy cures" in the Neath: it deliberately circulated little rhymes and sayings that have now become commonplace. Mr Cures has a wide array of areas it has laid claim to: teeth & dentistry for one (as its culture of origin has had dental plazas discovered, as well as remnants of plants on teeth indicating their use as medicinal aids), but also surgery in general in addition to medicine and folk cures. It can be considered benevolent -- at least in comparison to some of its comrades like Veils, Fires, and Stones -- but Mr Cures has machinations of its own, and becomes incensed when confronted with encroachment upon its domain. In particular, it has been known to tear asunder London/Victorian doctors who refuse to acknowledge that a cure that isn't deemed "scientifically acceptable" can still be useful. When your office operates under Mr Cures, it's best to keep an ear open for remedies passed down through the generations, because Mr Cures takes special care to ensure these are continued on.

Thread dyed black and green

530w, vague/implied Bag A Legend spoilers, also on ao3

Here, take this, it’s just a shirt. Fold it open, mark the seams, trace the stitches, is there something to find? A story to tell?

It starts as curiosity, he would tell you as much. The stitches are fast here, loose, looking for thrills and excitement. But just as quickly they tighten, falling steady and even. This is a slow job, but there are promises, hints of more, he can work with that, he knows patience. He is no stranger to tedium, to repetitive notions and steady hands.

At first, he sees it as a sort of foray into deeper monster hunting, the kind where the real prize is the story, not whatever the ministry offers. That changes, though, with the addition of a new ingredient. There’s a stray thread, caught between the stitches, too tight for you to pull out, dark as night.

Black wings absinthe. That small, personal connection. Feeling the howl of wind, the pounding wings, the rushing blood and fierce adrenaline, There’s that thrill, just enough to get him excited. It gets him coming back, needing to feel that fervor again, pushing harder for progress, eager for more.

It meanders here, gets caught on a fold, lost in a knot. Skip down, jump a section or two, they won’t be missed, it doesn’t matter. We’re here for a story, it picks up again down here.

It comes down to a mutual desire for violence. Of seeing the other maybe not as an equal but as competent, worthy, not someone to go easy on, not someone to hold back with. Someone who won’t judge you for wanting to bite and rip and tear, someone who wants the same. It’s indulging desires that make others think you’re out of your mind, delighting in this secret you have to convince yourself is a rivalry.

But then – on the same fabric, just a different stitch, parallel yet separate – it is cordial, bound by business and social cues. It’s craftsman and retailer, worker and manager, tailor and supplier. They can both see through the other’s charades, playing the same game, knowing each other too well, connecting pieces others don’t get to see. Their interactions are polite, friendly even, competitive and overfamiliar in a way that implies too much. It’s a different sort of thrill, knowing what you do. You could ruin it, you should, it could do the same to you. You don’t, it doesn’t either, you both like what you’re weaving together.

Follow the stitches, further down, past where some are skipped and others are too tight – if, when it comes to it, he doesn’t know what choice to make? He knows there has to be an end, the stitch must be tied off, the piece must be finished. There’s an audience now, a chorus waiting in the sidelines, it’s not just about him any more, he’s not sure it ever was. Could he bring himself to do it? To push away this freedom he’s barely tasted? Or would he stop, pick the stitches, re-arrange the parts, read the patterns again and again, throw them out, try something new, something better, there has to be something better.

Well, who's to say?

anyways here's a little snippet from the fic (I'm planning for it to be a choose your own adventure story with raising baby curators!)

Your child chirps, loudly and repeatedly, reminds you that it is, in fact, feeding time, oh beloved parent! You laugh, and oh so carefully remove its talons from its current perch. Puzzles (you cannot convince yourself to call this month-old pup a "mister") is a clever child. When it realizes what you are doing, it frees its remaining foot itself, and re-attaches itself onto the front of your clothing.
