#Dragon of the Lost Sea

My first thought as I spotted this in the used book section of the thriftstore, "Aw hell yeah, this looks exactly like the sort of book I would have read when I was a kid!"

My second thought as I picked this up and took it to the cashier, "I wonder if @godzilla-reads has read this book?"

My third thought as I gave the book a second look, after I had already left the store, "Oh, this is the second book in a series. Dammit."

Oh well, no problem. I'll look this series up on libby. It's not on libby. I'll try hoopla. Not on hoopla. Let's try bookshop.org. Looks like it's been out of print for like, 20 years, so it won't be directly on bookshop.org, so I'll just look it up on good old Thriftbooks. Ah, perfect! Thriftbooks has the whole series for super cheap, so I'll just get the rest of the books, they'll be here in a few days.

Alrighty, they're here! Love this cheesy 90s fantasy cover art. Books three and four look good!

Book one...doesn't look nearly as good. It's like somebody tried to draw Wayne Anderson's dragons from memory with their eyes half closed. Still, it's in good condition with sturdy binding so this will be good for reading.

Yooooo! Turns out this is a signed copy, which reads,

To Kay,

one of the good people

Thinking about my childhood and the ‘Dragon of the Lost Sea’ series, a fantasy series by Laurence Yep heavily inspired by Chinese mythology (Monkey was there!) and how the ultimate main overarching antagonist of the series was “The Boneless King”... a guy who was literally a sheaf of human skin who could possess people.

Like.... he was just skin you guys.

Not even like a moist stretched out face-skin like Cassandra in Doctor Who, he was just a papery human skin who could like.... crawl around and couldn’t be killed by normal means.

Au where the ASL brothers somehow get stranded on an abandoned forest island and it’s a lord of the flies situation but not really where they just become half feral and rely on each others. Horrifying bonus points if it’s somehow the island Luffy trained on for two years. And they are just impossibly strong before either, a. Getting found by someone or b. Setting sail themselves and they bite every marine they meet.

#shanks finds them #or Whitebeard finds them #or they still settle on their original path they’re just feral #it’s that how to train your dragon scene but it’s Whitebeard and ace is toothless #maybe they get kidnapped by blue jam #or cp 0 #maybe they got lost at sea #they are perfectly capiable of speech and being normal they just don’t want to #Garp working his ass off to find them :( #one piece #monkey d. luffy #portgas d ace #revolutionary sabo #asl brothers #rambles #one piece au I guess #BUSH BOYS

Den som väntar på något gott väntar aldrig för länge. @kulturdasset lär bli mäkta imponerad av några av månadens filmval. Det är klart. Värt att vänta på vad det också. 😜

65 (2023) [👍] Riktigt bra SF om en utomjording som hamnar på jorden under dinosauriernas regim.

Australiens (2014) [👎🆓] En budgetstinkare från Australien. Går på komisk knock men svingar vilt i luften.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) [👍🔁]

Grease Live! (2016) [👍🎭🔁]

Hairspray Live! (2016) [👍🎭🔁]

Hocus Pocus 2 (2023) [👍🔁]

Kapten Våghals / Captain Scarlett (1952) [🆓] Intressant, och mot alla odds, kombination av Robin Hood och Röda Nejlikan. Hollywood! Vi vill ha en remake franchise!

Lair, the (2022) [__] Neil Marshall, åter i samarbete med Charlotte Kirk, och precis som i The Reckoning inte dåligt men når heller inte riktigt ända fram.

Lost City, the (2022) [👍🔁]

Love of Three Queens / L'amante di Paride (1954) [👎🆓] Spretigt sömnpiller med Hedy Lamarr.

Mord i Venedig / A Haunting in Venice (2023) [👎] När jag tänker tillbaka till Kenneth Branagh föregående exkursion som Poirot (Döden på Nilen, 2020) kommer beskrivningen ”välpolerad yta och dyra färger” för mig. Men vad gör man inte för Michelle Yeoh liksom?

Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent, the (1957) [🔁🆓] Vikingraffel signerat Roger Corman. Den här hade jag tydligen sett tidigare... Ett upptäckt som är ett omdöme i sig.

Ski Troop Attack (1960) [🆓] Skidåkarraffel signerat Roger Corman, han har verkligen fått till det i den här filmen. Om oinspirerat sidåkar-pang-pang är vad man längtar efter. Jag tror storyn tog en annan nedfart, för den minns jag inte mycket av.

Totally Killer (2023) [👍] Hallå, hej! Amazon får till en underhållande liten skräckkomedi som andas klassiska grepp och tillbaka till framtiden. Me like! Kommer antagligen ses igen.

Vidioten / UHF (1989) [__] Idag kanske mer ett underhållande tidsdokument om tiden innan YouTube gjorde videostjärnor av svenssons.

WarGames (1983) [👍🔁] Idag, i skuggan av AI kanske ännu mer aktuell än någonsin. Står fortfarande stadigt utan behov av remakes. Lekte med tanken att se uppföljaren, tills jag såg att den bara fanns på hyr-tjänsterna.

@kulturdasset lär börja drägla över husguden Neil Marshalls senaste, hen bör dock trycka på play där med något nedskruvade förväntningar. Resten tycker jag skall ge Totally Killer eller Kapten Våghals en chans. Den senare är kanske inte A-klassad underhållning, men väl värd en chans.

För den nyfikne med ett sug efter en utmaning såg jag the Reckoning i februari 2021.

It’s wild thinking about how we’ve been playing this campaign for over 3 years but this is the first time we’re cosplaying our characters. But honestly I can’t express how happy getting to be Amoré for a night made me.

And we may not have had Diana this time but we did find Ziteng!

Best of 2022! 

I haven’t done one of these in a while, and I felt like I should do a simple art collage for all the shows and movies I’ve seen this year. I think this was a good year for animation despite the bumps on the roads. Ready for 2023!  

Update: I forgot to add The House ,another great film.

Still slowly making my way through Laurence Yep's Dragon of the Lost Sea series. My hunch was correct and this is exactly the kind of book I would have loved as a kid, as well as a book with a dragon on the cover and in the title where the dragon is a main character and not just a side character, or worse...the fantasy equivalent of a semi-sentient muscle car. *shudders*

Currently thinking about: Spider Socorro waking up at night remembering that he crashed the Sea Dragon and was responsible for a large number of human deaths.

#help why am i like this #but seriously #in the heat of the moment he was like #yeah this is awesome let's crash the sea dragon #but that was the adrenaline talking #after #he realised that lots of men and women lost their lives as a direct result of that #and he has no idea how to feel about it #being a murderer and all #ofc he looks up to jake and jake has never shown any guilt over killing enemy soldiers #so spider assumes he's done the right thing #but it still weighs on him #it GETS to him #and there's no one really to talk to about it #jake and neytiri are seasoned warriors #this is old hat for them #lo'ak has enough grief and guilt over neteyam's death #so the only person would be kiri #and they do have conversations about it #but yeah #it's a lot for a teenager #spider socorro #avatar the way of water
