Roadside Picnic - Tumblr Posts

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

(it’s not for nothing that the zone is addressed as a woman)

that's kinda specific meme I made for myself and one and a half people who are as insane as me to understand da meme

if I had a dollar for every roadside picnic adaptation that got canceled

I'd had like 2 dollars which isn't a lot BUT it's weird that it happened twice

yeah ! pafl is a great series :) ! I really recommend to check it out if you're interested in the whole zone and anomaly themes, it takes a lot of inspiration from roadside picnic and makes a lot of references to it, while still being unique and making some interesting points, also characters are just so well written! it's mostly a songs based story telling (you can find on youtube) but there's also huge google doc and a comic named "Execution" you can read for free :) also author is on tumblr as well so you can check a lot of information directly from their acc and it's cool asf

"Ahhh, nothing beats a Roadside Picnic with my freak disease daughter"

me: im going to read roadside picnic next

wife: oh is that the yuri one?

me, thinking very hard for a very long time: yeah, kinda?

For @razielim’s prompt this week. 

Stalker dad dances with his daughter before he’s off to the Zone again.

At first, of course, he just stared at me bug-eyed. Then he seemed to understand. He led me by the elbow into his little office, sat me down at his desk, and sat on the windowsill facing me. We lit up. Silence. Then he asked me, careful-like: "Has something happened, Red?"

So uh roadside picnic has me on the floor in tears as usual and I just HAD to draw Kirill so !! here we are !! take my silly little fandesign

Hey again, Roadside Picnic has me on a chokehold once more. have a few assorted doodles, mostly just Red and Arthur smiles

I tried to draw Arthur from Roadside Picnic. How successful? Who knows

I almost read that...

yeah lmao 😭😭😭

it's basically lost media now

I'm very glad I was able to bring some new media to people to get interested in with my post, bcs I am also huge fan of both, the Roadside Picnic and Parties Are For Losers !

I do agree with you that every of this medias are taking The Zone concept and turning it into something their own and unique is incredibly interesting, there is something like a base, but The Zone is kinda of a sandbox, and I find it cool how differently people can interpret it based on what story they want to tell...!

Like The Zone originally created by Strugatsky brothers is dangerous, but more in the form of a natural disaster than something living or conscious. Although Zone is dangerous, even scary beyond human comprehension, it still brings people hope that the gifts of the Zone can and should be used for good.

I only recently started playing Stalker games and I enjoy them so much so far. The main difference between The Zone in Stalker and The Zone of the Strugatsky brothers is that it is Really Alive. Alive not only in the sense that it is inhabited (both living and dead, and mutants) but alive in the sense that it seems to have its own kind of Consciousness (C-Consiousness, you get it LOL), that tries to save itself at all cost.

While human mutants exist in Roadside Picnic originally, as you have noticed, Pafl takes this concept to the next level (I also really like that the Zone in Pafl is rather closer to the one of the Strugatskys, but everything mysterious and scary that is in The Zone is united in one person - Dr. Temnova), I also like how Pafl is about humans more than it is about The Zone, like the way it is in Roadside Picnic book. So yeah !

I haven't read much of the Otherside Picnic honestly, maybe I will pick up this story later, but it also makes some interesting points, like I really liked the "Otherside" kinda of pun, because unlike the other Zone takes, that "place" isn't actually some kind of anomalous zone of planet Earth, but rather something completely out of our world. That's very interesting.

"Kirill! He feverishly dug through his memories, and some words did float to the surface, more or less familiar, but none of them were right, because words were not what Kirill had left behind him—he’d left some vague pictures, very kind, but utterly improbable…"

old art of kirill before I figured out how I want to draw him :3

im obsessed with how redrick talks about kirill like he looks like this. pretend the text box says like "an ful l empy?" and that's him

these r very funny tags I got here but maybe consider it as a sign to read roadside picnic!!! IT'S very GOOD and is actually pretty interesting plus the writing style and narration as well as the plot in general still feels quite modern, this book is not only interesting and makes you think a lot, it is also very relatable

and well

a bit queer if you ask me

like I can see WHY otherside picnic was based on roadside picnic bcs it's gay as hell

also when you start finding references in inspired by roadside picnic medias they just become deeper and more fun IDK so yeah I recommend giving it a shot :D
