Call me Phosphor!
I’m just here (very reluctantly, given tumblr’s Everything) for my friends and my fandoms, and I read much more than I post. I expect that I’ll mostly post Fallen London stuff (namely my OCs and my fanmade sigils) but who knows. I may occasionally post things on my headmate Lark’s behalf, including stuff about his own FL OC. (You can find him on his own blog as well, at @lutekeeper.)
Anyone who’s not a TERF/Nazi/etc is welcome to follow. I believe in good faith and in caring about people despite their messiness; I have no fondness for exclusionism, puritanism, or the slapfighting that passes for “discourse” on social media. Do with this information what you will.

FAQ
Why am I blocked?
See this post.
Are you still drawing Correspondence sigils/taking requests?
Yes! I go long periods where I don't draw any because I'm prone to getting deleted by seasonal depression and other health woes, but it's always okay to send in requests as long as you understand that it may be a while until I get to it.
Can I get a tattoo of one of your sigils/use it in my Fallen London fanart/brand it onto my Fallen London OC’s back/(some other personal noncommercial use that doesn’t involve blockchain or AI)?
Yes, go ahead! No credit needed.
Can I make NF*Ts of your sigils/use your sigils to train my AI/(some other techbro junk)?
No. Fuck off.
Can I use your sigils in a non-techbro commercial project?
Ask me first! If it’s something like slapping my art onto T-shirts, almost certainly no. If it’s something like “I’m drawing my Correspondent OC for a Neathy charity zine and want to use one of your designs,” then it’ll probably be fine - but again, ask me first!

at some point, whenever Ergo Glast gets around to stocking one at 60% valence bonus, I'm going to nab a Tenet Grigori as well, because apparently Limbo can make it hit damage cap with minimal effort. and then to add insult to injury, I'm going to spend 20 plat to rename it to Tenet Gregory
the Tenet Ferrox slaps actually. it's a cool staff (speargun technically but w/e) that fries your foes with big crunchy jolts of lightning. it feels exactly like how I imagine What Might Be A Thunderbolt feels. I don't think it'll displace Scourge Prime for utility (the alt-fire pull-in is neat but I run Vazarin which comes with its own grouping button) but I don't regret grabbing one
(for additional context Ergo Glast is selling one right now that has a 60% heat valence bonus, which is the max possible valence bonus. great time to pick one up if you've got the holokeys and Mastery Rank on hand)
black mage pre-7.2 was a complex dance of mircomanging timers and skills and sacrificing mobility in exchange for Big Damage Numbers. it was the most complex caster in the game and people (including myself) loved it for that. then ffxiv patch 7.2 came out and the devs removed all of the timers and skill expression in favor of a simple job anyone can pick up and play. black mage is now one of the simplest casters in ffxiv. This Is A Bad Thing. it was a rework made to appeal to people who didn't like black mage, alienating basically everyone who actually did. this happened like seven months ago but im STILL angry about it and i refuse to touch the game until they give my baby back

"limbo is fine actually" post brought to you by someone who mained elementalist from literal launch in guild wars 2, which is probably the least surprising fact ever to anyone who knows what that means
anyway I'm going to kick a hornet's nest here and say that the people who actually play a frame matter more than the people who don't when it comes to discussions of retouches/reworks to said frame. yes, this is about all the people who go "limbo rework pls" who don't even play him
like, with apologies for going off on main: it's almost always the people who don't play him who are asking for reworks, while those of us who actually do (in all content, as our main, not just for a specific gimmick) almost always say "his kit is fine, it just needs visual QoL. if there's some way to make him play nicer in groups without fundamentally changing his abilities that'd be nice too, but not fundamentally changing his abilities matters more."
it's fine if he's not your thing, but that's why we have like 60 other frames. please go play one of them instead of demanding that DE change our guy (who is the only guy of his kind) into something he isn't. thanks!
ETA this week was super soloable as well with Limbo, it turns out. didn't go full modifiers because one strugglefest with a bad loadout is enough for me, but did grab enough to at least pick up the gold reward
I still probably won't go for Perigone because Janus Captain Vor sounds purely obnoxious, but it's nice to know that if I ever change my mind that last objective is right there
tonight wasn't hype and aura enough so I decided to see if limbo could solo this week's deep archimedea with all modifiers (including loadout). turns out he can
might fuck around and attempt elite deep archimedea next (what a way to unlock it lmao) but I really really need to build hate and kunai first. because, uh,
this is how the kit is looking right now. it's not great folks
decided to go into elite deep archimedea solo with no personal modifiers and my usual kit (scourge prime/furis incarnon/falcor) and it was not only perfectly fine, it was honestly kind of easy. I'd already believed the one limbo main who said limbo trivializes eda mirror defense even with shitty modifiers but it's sure another thing to experience it
next up would be either running with my usual kit + personal modifiers on, or finishing up kunai incarnon and hate incarnon and going in with everything on, but we'll see if my attention holds out

The lower leaves were fed to livestock (one variety in Portugal was grown specifically for the purpose), and were reportedly of great value: The Farmer's Magazine stated in 1836 that five plants would support 100 sheep or 10 cows, and sheep fed them were rumoured to produce silky wool up to 25 inches (64 cm) in length. The open cabbage at the top is comparatively small: "the size of the cabbages at the top was so infinitesimal that one seemed forced to the conviction that nature meant them to be stalks, not cabbages".
you know, brassicas really are the dogs of the plant kingdom. they're absolutely everywhere and humans have domesticated them into so many fucked up shapes for our enjoyment
