[[http://deliciousfriends.tumblr.com Delicious Friends]] is a roleplaying group centralized on Website/{{Tumblr}} based around [[Videogame/FallenLondon Fallen London]] as a setting. Characters all have their own accounts on Fallen London, and some roleplay takes place in the actual game via social actions, such as [[SpidersAreScary sending boxed cats.]]
----
!! A SMALL SAMPLE of VARIOUS MISDEMEANORS and OTHER THINGS OF NOTE, ET AL. :
* AbusiveParents: Worryingly common in the characters' backstories. Roland is confirmed to have had an abusive alcoholic mother; Alexis is frequently hinted to have had abusive parents, and Shewa has also had some hints in this direction.
* AmbiguousGender: Roughly half the cast, [[NotHyperbole and I mean that literally]].

* DistractedByTheSexy: Considering this is often a result of failing a few challenges in-game, being distracted by the sexy has happened to several characters.
* DysfunctionJunction: Everyone has ''some'' kind of trauma; the only question is whether they acquired it on the Surface or after coming to London. Except for [[TheNondescript Jones]]. Probably.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Vincent, who is by no stretch of the imagination a good person, is still absolutely creeped out by Jeremiah. And with good reason, too.
* FreudianTrio: "Pseudonym" Jones, Dr Thurlow, and Miss Brite form a loose one, being the Superego, Ego, and Id respectively.
