Giraffe Girumble - Last Chance Preliminary B

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Unnamed Giraffe propaganda:

the main character's wish was to ride a giraffe! and then she finally gets to in the epilogue! this is the giraffe who helps that dream come true while surrounded by her family!

The Dangiraffe propaganda:

In the episode "The Beak" Candace takes on the identity of a supervillain she calls "The Dangiraffe" in order to bust her brothers who have decided to become superheros in a bird-themed superhero suit. She doesn't actually have any powers but dresses up like a giraffe, I guess because of her famously long neck.

Getup propaganda:

She's a good friend and we love a clumsy queen

Giraffe (Un Lun Dun) propaganda:

Absolutely horrifying

Raging Bolt propaganda:

"it's a Brontosaurus--" no it's a giraffe

Giraffe Prototype propaganda:

So, the basis of this show is a group of angels that makes animals for God. Like most designers, they have to make many attempts before they’re successful. Their first attempt at a giraffe is a long necked deer that passes out from lightheadedness and cerebral anemia. Here’s a link to the clip: https://youtu.be/jI85dL3ooVU?si=HuNa2sdxLwuW2BYs

Valkyraffe did not get any propaganda. I instead offer you the eshop page for the Mega Man Zero ZX Legacy Collection.

Books of 2023. UN LUN DUN by China Mieville. Clearly the natural progression of Driscoll Vibes is from VanderMeer to Mieville, right? This one has been languishing on my TBR for a while, but it’s finally time!!

#photography #my photography #un lun dun #china mieville #books of 2023 #weird to more weird let's goooooo #i did like railsea a lot!!#and i liked perdido street station up until that fucking ending reveal #also: i about ran out of driscoll-adjacent things lmao BUT!!!#i then ordered a bunch more for independent bookstore day XD #i am. slightly daunted. by how long this book is #(almost 500 pages like WHY please it's sold as YA but it's not built like a YA book)#fingers crossed that it goes speedily i need to ANNIHILATE something

This piece is probably the most self indulgent fanart I’ve ever made. It is for a young adult fiction novel my brother got when he was around ten. That was 16 years ago now and it’s still one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s called Un Lun Dun and I cannot recommend it enough.

Who would win: the inescapable feeling of dread that has been consuming me OR a clever kid's book about a fucked up city

Trying to get back into reading; first book I've picked up in a while! I love Mieville's stuff, though I've never read any of his children's novels so I'm really interested in how this'll go. So far it's got big Neverwhere/Alice in Wonderland but kinda grimier vibes which is fun 💖

Believe me, there’s nothing so terrible that someone won’t support it.

Gotta love an UNchosen One. Gotta love a character that sees the narrative passing them by and seizes it for their own ends. Such a plethora of potential motivations and so many ways for the primary narrative to react! Swear we've only scratched the surface of this concept

#sure this can be about katniss everdeen but its ESPECIALLY about Deeba Un Lun Dun #which is such a deep cut i cant remember her last name

just had a really important revelation re: my reading tastes. if it can be described as "whimsical" and "a cross between Alice in Wonderland and [literally anything else]," i will hate it.

#i started Un Lun Dun by China Mieville #an author i love!#and within ten pages i was like. 'it's fine i'll just slog through it'#by the time i got to page 50 i was like #why am i reading this when i hate it #reading tag

y'all i think i have plotted my next string of reading pretty well again, here it goes:

1. finish skybound saga (birds, YA for driscoll purposes), which leads to:

2. UNTETHERED SKY (also birds, coming in book mail hopefully this week), which leads to:

3. VENISS UNDERGROUND (coming in the Same Mail As SKY, back toward weird driscoll vibes), which is adjacent (maybe) to:

4. UN LUN DUN (also driscoll vibes, weird world paralleling, etc), which takes me to:

5. TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY (again: for driscoll vibes)

6. (bonus)(maybe) THE WAY SPRING ARRIVES (still coming in that same book mail batch, nonbinary voices in translation for driscoll vibes also, AND it's springtime babeeey)

goncharovposting has nothing and i mean Nothing on the hyperspecific ideal adaptation you imagine while reading a book that exists exclusively in your brain. does anybody else do this

#.rtf #nobody asked but rambles incoming.#tailchaser's song feels like an old don bluth movie that would have scared you so so much as a kid but left a strong impression regardless #un lun dun Needs to be a stop motion miniseries and i will only accept henry selick for the job. he would get it.#and i envision mexican gothic as like. an old movie that was filmed in grayscale then painted over with splotchy watercolours in post #and that's just my top 3!
