I...I think I need to stop trying to upgrade my pets

#I'm sure there's some meta strategy out there for -12 dreaded but man #cursed pets #I do love adding to my weasel collection though #fallen london #flmp #mp #I have no clue what's going on in parabola so I'm just wandering around making poor choices #this whole time I've been like wow how can anyone get monstrous anatomy and then I maxed it in like 5 minutes #guess I can finally go back to doing the evolution story now

Okay, theatre peeps:

We are thrilled to announce Jemma Redgrave and Ewan Miller as the cast of Marek Horn's Octopolis, directed by Ed Madden, opening at the Hampstead Theatre Downstairs on 15 September.

Jemma Redgrave plays Professor George Gray, who is a brilliant behavioural biologist who, alongside her recently deceased husband, became world-renowned for her pioneering research into octopus intelligence. Mainly the intelligence of one particular octopus, in fact: Frances, who still resides in a large, purpose-built tank in George’s campus accommodation.

#ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #okay #sooooo #I'm going to finalise my theatre plans soon #because I guess it will become a Jemma/Catherine theatre weekend #anybody wanting to join: hmu #jemma redgrave #hampstead theatre #london theatre

Me playing Heart's desire and clinging to every bit of text related to Mr Pages: That petty bitch, it's soooo fucking affectedly nice, it's soooooo fucking nice, I love this soooooo much I'm still just at the beginning, man... but that's so fun. I can't wait to hate it)))...

#fallen london #mr pages #I'm sorry I really like this character I've been going insane over it for a long time #since Mask of the rose (fucking obviously...) but in FL it's a bit different I think but still fun #Don't know if it's like cringe here but I'm having so much fun so I guess I can live with that #I'm cringe regardless...

Ugghhhhh I didn't bring a craft hobby with me aside from my sketchbook and I'm too headachey for writing so now I wanna eat my own hands

#maaaaay have to venture out into london tomorrow to hunt down some yarn and a crochet hook or something #in theory having some time to myself to watch loads of stuff i wanna catch up on is great #but my hands are unnoccupied and I'm Struggling with that #and like i fool i brought only quite cerebral/involved hobbies (writing/art/music/reading) to do assuming I'd have the brain power #fucking oops #i guess i could use it as incentive to go out and explore more but maybe i am tired and don't wanna you ever consider that huh?? #anyway. #my head goes whoooooosh when i stand rn so decisions on the backburner til I've eaten food maybe sgahshdbd #mr. bees speaks #this is the worst part about staying with non crafty friends too #if i was staying with ande i could be like hey any scraps of fabric lying around you're cool with me messing with? #these guys? nary a sewing needle in sight.... how do they live

[mangle-my-mind]

I'm going to London next week for work! Should I be doing anything quick, free, velvet-goldmine-related while I'm there?

#I don't have a whole lot of time to myself. I already bought tickets to see Hamnet and I'm very excited for that :) #Not my first time in London so I will not be seeking out touristy stuff. I might just wander around #Velvet Goldmine #was mainly filmed in London so I guess I can go location scouting? But I won't have any outfits to do a cool photoshoot while I'm there

my art haul from Artist Alley at MCM London :

The trio of witches ! By Hannah Alexander @hannahalexanderartwork

I loooooove Art Nouveau. I bought the Laudna print first, then came back later to complete the Witches triptyque !

Imogen ! by @onesmolhurts

Look at those freckles !! HOT

Keyleth !! by none other than the wonderful Kit Buss herself, who was very busy all weekend I'm sure, but whom we managed to talk to on Friday just before closure. She was so nice !!!

Keyleth looks like a little bit menacing and a whole lot sexy here, I love it, like she could ask me to follow her in a frozen land and I would be like "yes ma'am"

Another trio of witches, but this time under the menacing light of Ruidus ! by @caitmayart

I remember seeing this piece here on Tumblr, and when I was passing by the booth I was COMPELLED to buy it, it's so beautiful !

And last but not least, this absolutely beautiful version of Laudna by Maggie Mikan.

Story time : originally, I was going to bring my copy of The World of Critical Role for Marisha to sign, but when I bought this art on Friday, I changed my mind and decided to get it sign instead. And so after the autograph, 'no thoughts heads empty' me went by Artist Alley again, and showed it to the artist, who was amazed. We took one minute to scream over it together, and then they took a photo of me holding the signed art (yup that's me !)

Now, to get all of that wonderful art framed...

#I hope it's ok to put the photos here... #go check out these wonderful artists please !! #if you thought I was done talking about MCM guess again. this is how I'm curing my post-con depression guys #critical role #mcm london #critical role london

Thinking about Mr Wines today (possible spoilers ahead? for something implied in several places but never outright said)

If the theory that Wines is a demoted Judgement is true, I wonder how that must feel for it, physically...imagine being an entity of light and law and pure heat only, a literal star, and then suddenly a physical flesh-and-bones creature.

- it probably forgot to eat a lot in the beginning, and then got dizzy and remembered oh, right, this lesser form doesn't even fuel itself with elemental fusion >:/

- what if when it's not actively doing something it's just. Completely still. It's used to just hanging in a set place in the cosmos, so it doesn't really have the instincts to fidget or keep track of where its limbs are when at rest. The other Masters will sometimes just find it staring at a wall in the Bazaar with one wing held kinda weird like it just forgot about it there, until it gets broken out of its train of thought

- maybe it likes to drink because alcohol makes it feel warm and invincible and a little bit foggy, the closest it can get to the way existence used to feel outside of the limits of a biological body. (well yknow, that reason and the depression, but it can multitask)

- on a more light-hearted note, I wonder how long it took for it to learn how to work the wings? I'm guessing Very Long. And many crash landings.

- ...I wonder if it bonded with Veils in the Neath because it could relate to feeling trapped down here and wanting to rebell against the limits imposed on it by law, even though Veils yearned for something lower (the hunt, the kill) and Wines for its old higher power back

#fallen london #mr wines #voidrambles #welcome to Shade Probably Gets 97 Little Known Lore Things Wrong #i always feel so unsure about making flondon lore posts or posts about the Masters because i feel like i don't have a solid understanding #of a lot of it still #but. thinking about Wines a lot this week #how it's just sort of stuck down here now #and I'm always always always thinking about what its behind the scenes relationship with Veils must have been like #and what made it finally go from enabling to giving up and selling it out at the end of BaL #at the point when it did #and the promise it traded for with the player. i just. o u g h #it's so good and it happened at SUCH A TIME in Hallowrove's personal timeline while i was playing #...well this wasn't meant to turn into a BaL ramble post but i guess all of them do with me lol #BaL spoilers

[ipwarn]

Òk, because I am bored and waiting for my laundry to be done, I shall do my yearly post guessing who will be at Elsie. I should probably wait till we get actual information on the when and where (and if) but as I said I am bored. 

Betsy Wolfe (obviously I guessed her last year but this seems like a no-brainer) 

Josh Groban (again I’m going first with people I know Darren can just call up and invite) 

Ashley D Kelley (she’s awesome and she’s a fan of Starkid)

Justin Tranter (either him or some cast members from Rise of The Pink Ladies - gotta have that musical TV representation) 

One of the leads from New York New York? (not sure about this because I don’t really know much about either of them but still seems likely)

#any other obvious people? #Elsie Fest 2023 #last year I guessed Spring Awakening reunion but I don't think that's going to happen this year #I also guessed one of the leads of Merrily but again I'm not sure #Jonathan is the safest bet there and even then I don't think it's likely for some reason #who knows how long he will be in London filming anyway #also last year Mason was on my list but they will be in Cabaret probably so they won't be able to make it #one year though they have to perform at Elsie

[harvestar]

do you guys think it would be super out of place to put like a weird grief/stress-based off page sex scene in the skies fic or no

#ktxt #I guess it's rated M so I can do whatever I want #also why are there so many tragic love triangle type things in this. its like here are these 3 ppl who might have been a family #although kelter/jacob & amelia is not really a love triangle so much as some kind of fucked up double tragedy for kelter specifically #at least three/su/iain had a chance if three and su weren't obsessed with hurting each other #and iain was cool with being platonic with three (although that was going to be the case probably in their marriage so I don't see why not) #victoria legalize polyamory challenge (idk if this is a thing in FL already but I'm assuming you can't do it officially in london) #tbh my headcanon is like london is way more conservative after the rise cause a lot of the cool ppl went to the reach and pan #...or the workworlds 😔💔

proper announcement will come when I have spoons for it but

I'm doing Soaps and Dragons at London ComicCon again!

May 26-28, North hall

Selling handmade vegan soaps based on spells, monsters, Critical Role characters, and this time a small selection of The adventure Zone characters!

I'm also selling my original novel The Goblin That Cured The King, a dnd inspired adventure story with autistic female driven main characters and everyones name is a pun :3

#mcm comic con #mcm comic con london #dnd #d&d #dungeons and dragons #soaps and dragons #guess who's OCD is going FUCKING NUTS about seeing people I'm not ready to see at comic con! #me #and I'm gonna go even while my brain is screaming to stay away #because I loved this last time and I love selling my soap and letting people smell the scents

[nostalgia-tblr]

The Avengers (not those ones) have gone to Castle De'Ath, in Scotland, and this was made in 1965 and it's quite surreal that Scotland is portrayed as so 'exotic' when the UK has existed for literally centuries at this point. Similarly with Dr Who in the 1970s with the Zygons really. I kind of want to see how the north of England was being treated at this time, I suspect it'll be sold as similarly 'odd' to that audience who is always assumed to - like most of the people who make British telly - live in London or thereabouts.

It's weird! And there's a 2005 Dr Who story that goes "ooh, imagine going to WALES!!!" whereas the suggestion a few years later that the show was London-centric was met with utter bafflement (by a Welshman). Because of course we're always in London, why wouldn't we always be in London, that's where everything happens and where everyone lives and no it'd just be weird if the alien sounded Scottish, let's go with Estuary, that's how normal people (and almost all aliens) speak.

#i'm still v bitter about the accent thing btw. “tour of the regions” indeed. (and again - A WELSHMAN!) #everyone in this Avengers episode is wearing kilts (except Emma Peel but she has tartan trousers on) #those of you not from the UK might think it'd be impossible for the British to be xenophobic about the British but GUESS WHAT #and we tend to say “this is why we all hate the English” but the north of England hate the south for pretty much the same reasons #(also “the north” starts about halfway up england which is less than halfway up the uk so it's a bit confusing at times) #scottish stuff #AND ANOTHER THING that bugs me is areas of London are referred to in the media as if i know where they are and what their nuances are #by the same things that will go out of their way to tell you that eg Newcastle is in the north of England

[vonlipvig]

well that was fun. i, for one, did absolutely nothing.

#VERY confused as to what is gping om but i'm intrigued #i was like ok where are the clues and then i go check and 17 of 18 clues found COOL OK #tho i think 9 are still not fully investigated #i followed a hunch and guess what it was WRONG so i'll be here cheering you guys who woke up at 10utc on fjfjfj #jack's fallen london adventure
