Across the rainbow-colored bridge,
Past the hills, beyond the ridge
Stands a city of post-modern fantasy,
Where everyone drinks taro bubble tea.
Star-shaped buildings astound the weary
Iridescent windows sparkly and cheery,
Crystalline doors and purple glass roofs.
On the ground spy a print of a unicorn hoof…
Ermine Square, the center of town
The colorful citizens gather around
They make magical treats at the Candy Factory
Where only delicious is satisfactory!
Every flavor is produced
From Cosmopop to Unicorn Poop!
Hop on the bubble trolley and you’ll see
Some of the local citizenry:
(They may not be what you expect -
Hold on, you ain’t seen nothing yet!)
The girl in the back is an architect
See that hologram saucer around her neck?
The boy by the window has lavender hair
And the lady with an ermine is paying her fare.
Past the Shimmering Lake down on Hologram Street
Sea horses and axolotls come out to greet;
The neon carousel now awaits -
Take a unicorn ride through outer space.
But brace yourself for an incredible twist:
This place of wonder already exists!
Candyfuture belongs to those
Who stay true to self through highs and lows.
(continued next Monday)
Architecture of Candyfuture, pt 1
Candyfuture sounds like a pretty awesome idea :)
I love this : )
“Where only delicious is satisfactory!”
You could make your own candy with that as a slogan, very clever!
The ending was really sweet too, about how Candyfuture already exists for those who are true to themselves. Definitely something to think about on those slow, low days.
i’ve been so looking forward to the continuation of candyfuture! this is fabulous. i’m dying for the next update!
WANT.
…to live there, that is. ;]
Candy Future is neon rainbow prettiness <3
I can only hope for a candified london eye, waiting in anticipation for the next instalment ^_^
Aaaah, Doe, I love this!
I want to move there like, right now, haha.
This is totally my dream-land. XD
DO WANT.
I like this style, it feels very fairy-kei to me! Also, I wish I could meet a boy with lavender hair… to match my pinkpurpleblonde :)
Aaaaah I want Candyfuture to be real. RIGHT NOW. <3 it!
I’m moving asap! :)
Unicorn poop? lol
Sounds very awesome, and I love the pics, although ‘rainbow bridge’ is a term used for Animal/Pet Heaven
<3<3<3 im so full of love for this one!
Ah, if everyone in the world drank tea it would be a much better world, for certain. ;)
You’ve officially won me over with this installment!
x
*dies because this is just too awesome. : D*
So what does unicorn poop taste like? I’ll take two :)
Looks like a lovely place. But what of the town in the summer? Does Ermine Square become Stoat Square?
I think I’m too much of a literary nerd for Candyfuture… I compulsively syllable-counted some of the more rhythmically awkward lines and found that they’re the ones with odd numbers of syllables.
But I actually love the concept of dance parties with the Bard (and Bowie? Alliteration and fabulousness!), and so: YES.
I have an axolotl. They are lovely!
AHHHHHH it’s amazing!!!! Love love love love love it!!! You’re the next J.K. Rowling! I can’t wait to hear more about the characters (lady with the ermine?? boy with purple hair??) and the streets!!! so perfect!
Did you alter these images? (I recognize 2 of the spots! Where is the first one from?)
I am already obsessed! Can’t wait for more!
btw, doe, you should definitely check out this flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/surrealize/3628340618/ it’s totally candyfuture, and i think you’ll like it.
This reminds me of the ‘rainbow road’ in the old Super Mario Cart game! Love it.
I’m already loving it, and can’t wait to see and hear more!
SaraJayne, yes! I forgot about that track! It’s very candyfuture.
I love this concept. it always makes me want to go buy clothes that fit with it!
Y’know, unicorn poop probably smells wonderful.
…
