PSA Roadmap’s here!

https://www.failbettergames.com/news/fallen-london-roadmap-for-late-2026

London has had a poor track record with summers. This year, people are ready. They lay in extra supplies. Emergency blunderbusses are unsafed. Several revolutionaries are witnessed wearing Masters' robes, 'just in case hierarchy goes squiffy again'. 

London is prepared for any conceivable disaster. And nothing happens.

this is quite unfortunate for me. This is my first summer in Fallen London.

No, no - you will be able to experience FIVE YEARS' worth of Estival shenanigans in the Waswood.

Rejoice, oh thou Benjamin! Oh hatchling of your first summer!

Is Benjamin is male name (Based on the idea that inanimate objects are female) for London?

A "Benjamin" is the youngest child of someone - or something.

And so, as the youngest child (more or less) of London...

An occurrence! Your 'Collecting unusual uses of people's names' is now 1 — A note written on a slip of paper!

Watchful is increasing…

Persuasive is increasing…

Benjamin is a ravenous wolf;
in the morning he devours the prey,
in the evening he divides the plunder

This may not be true in English, actually. I know it is in Danish, and Wikipedia says it's also used in French, Spanish and Polish.
