I and two of the girls I live with play and we’re thinking of cosplaying it for the London MCM expo this October. Not sure anyone will get it except the Steampunk contingent but I’ll own an Archeologist’s Hat and that’s all that matters.
It would actually be more accurate to say that my Fallen London gear is based on my favourite real-life clothes. Granted, my quizzing-glass can’t actually see Correspondence-letters, but my pocket-watch was actually a wedding gift from the long-haired daughter of a bohemian theologian, which is a pretty good backstory for a Shepherd’s Timepiece.
Ha, I commend you. I have a dress which is essentially identical to that of the girl who represents the Bohemians. And her hair. I know I’m going to end up wandering through Spitalfields in it, being smug that I actually live in Spite. Way too involved in this game for my own good. Or the good of my degree.
I went as a FL (EBZ at the time) devil/spirifer at dragon*con last year, which was pretty much just my steampunk garb with added horns and a spirifer’s fork. No one got it at all, I was sad.
You’d probably have to wear something really iconic, like an exceptional hat. Or cosplay as a Rubbery Man. Those are the only two things I can think of that are absolutely unique and recognizable to Fallen London…
KatarinaNavane- the stone tentacle key is actually quite amazing!
Yep I think scarlet stockings and avid glove would be a necessity…Quite tempted to make a sporing bonnet, I’m a trained milliner so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. I’m not sure I even mind if anyone gets it, I’d just have a really good time doing it!
I want to cosplay Miriam Plenty, with a fanged hat adorned with moonpearls. Trying to figure out what to make rubbery lumps of – they must be both edible and durable.
