Every single entity who posted in this thread gets a cameo somewhere in the Fallen London writings.
Failbetter silently adds in a new storylet at your lodgings with no explanation that unlocks when you acquire the "A Weaseler" accomplishment. All it says is "press button for weasels".
When you click it, every single weasel in your Fallen London inventory pours out of your screen and into your house in real life.
You might have had a life before, but now you have weasels.

The weasels overthrow the Masters and force them into retirement. Fallen London is now much more humane and run by weasels. Except, alas, for Mahogany Hall, which is burned to the ground, or people who might have wanted to wear fur coats (no longer allowed). A Popular Song is banned upon penalty of Newgate (first offense) or banishment to the tomb colonies (2nd offense). 3rd offense = NORTH.
Mr. Pages, freed from the burden of Masterdom, becomes very successful as Fallen London’s first stand-up comic. Mr. Wines opens a very well-reviewed vegetarian restaurant. Mr. Irons wanders around, muttering to himself about how he used to run the world.
ALL HAIL OUR WEASEL LORDS. ALL HAIL. ALL HAIL.
A weasel is chosen to go North.
And they do.
They kinda just burrow under the door, completely circumventing the entire storyline.
Vake runs for president.
. . . President of where?
The Gracious Widow is murdered by and then replaced by your Aunt.
A Master legit runs as a potential candidate in the next election…
… but they desperately try to disguise the fact that they’re a Master.
Seriously. If anything in this thread should be canon, it’s this. FAILBETTER.
Long before you were born.

Vote Shacksh 1896! What are you talking about, Silas is definitely that tall and squeaky.

But as soon as the Master starts talking, it becomes painfully obvious that he’s Mr Pages. Also the opposing candidate is the Topsy King. Their debates give every Fallen Londoner the d—edest headache.

This is the best thing ever.
The entire plot of Mean Girls happens for real at Summerset, with all the needed Neathy and period-appropriate alterations.
Also at the part where they’re dancing on stage, Mr wines is dancing with them in the aisle cheering them on, and they kick the gramophone into Mr. Veil’s face, at which point Mr. Wines almost bursts out laughing in Correspondence

Is it possible to laugh specifically in Correspondence?
It is! Laughter sounds like the crackle of broken light.
The message of love that the Sun entrusted to the Bazaar was actually intended for the Struggling Artist, and you can’t convince me otherwise that this isn’t why everyone reacted the way they did.
Foxes return, forge an alliance with bats and finally drive out the feline menace.
There is both an Accomplishment and a Gear/Item reward once you finish becoming a Poet Laureate. And it also becomes a London’s X quality because why not.
Hell doesn’t actually have a use for souls but they keep trying to find new, innovative ways to spend their treasure hoard.
Soul-powered engines (simple coke turns out to be more efficient.)
Lava lamps (They don’t burn bright enough and there isn’t any actual lava inside the lamp despite the fact it’s from Hell, disappointing many would-be buyers.)
Bedside Nightlights (They just. Keep. CLINKING.)
Using a soul to smash the bottle against a ship when you put a ship in the water for the first time or something akin to that, in an effort to save a poor precious bottle of wine from being smashed instead (Oops. Now the ship’s haunted.)
Literally giving the souls to The Church in exchange for money (Church believes this is a trick or scam or they have some sinister ulterior motive since it goes against the age-old believe that Hell doesn’t export souls.)
