I was originally supposed to be a giraffe

[@WillHouldy]

Fauna: Would you still love me if I was a giraffe? Saplings: Yes

[@harley8047]

We would lover her even if she was some type of citrus leaf 🍃

[@sangerzonnvolt6712]

Giraffe thing is just a translation thing, Gaijingoomba made a video about that some time ago.

[@ghosty515]

Fauna is my favorite mythological real critter..

[@marinda653]

I mean, myth is real

[@gangrenousgandalf2102]

Giraffes are my favorite mythological fake animal

[@cosmicdunsparce]

Fauna's real! Don't lie to me!

[@BrummersArt]

"Giraffe? You've got to be kirin me"

[@thePsiRat]

Inaff! 🤣🤣

[@Sickmmaner]

+2 That may be the first +2 I've given to a pun

[@berserkknightdeadoralive702]

"Would you love me, if I was a giraffe?" YES, DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY

[@teammystictv5484]

Gravity Falls refrence!!

[@Suckynewb]

If you look at their neck they already are part giraffe.

[@Recidivous]

Fauna Pre-Debut: "I guess I'm a giraffe now."

[@AlveinFencer]

"Maybe I am a giraffe."

[@sertorius3319]

Some East Asian languages use Kirin/Qilin as the word for giraffe since Zheng He brought a giraffe home from one of his voyages and told everyone it was the mythological creature.

[@Mhill08]

That's a fun fact!

[@MYsolomate]

Also japan word for giraffe is girin or is it giri.. forgot which one but one is korean. 😂

[@CoRnBlom]

@@MYsolomate It's actually Kirin in katakana I think it's because of the same context since there's no Girrafe in East Asia until the exploration era so they need to use the word from the west/Chinese for this specific animal

[@MYsolomate]

@@CoRnBlom that's really explain the translated version to be giraffe.. 😂

[@Blak_star_Dcjn]

We koreans call giraffe 'girin'(기린) ​@@MYsolomate

[@Yuneless]

long necked kirin my beloved

[@ozzi9816]

For anyone wondering why, “giraffe” in Japanese is 麒麟, the romaji of which is “kirin”. It’s often written in katakana like キリン though, so google translate probably thought it was talking about the giraffe kirin instead of the mythological beast kirin

[@ArtwellI]

🍷 🤔 I see.

[@tapiokadesu8505]

I thought people knew this already

[@SingularCherubim]

I actually thought that the African animal was *always* written with kana, so the kanji would necessarily mean the supernatural creature.

[@swagnamite5065]

Fauna was so accepting of being a giraffe

[@pr0l0gue]

I love how she just rolled with it like “welp, this is my life now” lmao

[@saddpotato]

giraffe dna left behind the neck

[@tob505]

"I'M A GIRAFFE!" - Fauna, probably

[@KingDXVI]

I'm now just imagining Fauna's model with a neck even longer than it already is

[@BrutusSalad]

Supposed to be a Giraffe and has the thickest neck? Odd choice, Cover

[@RelativelyBest]

To be fair, giraffes do have very thick necks, the length just makes them look more slender than they are.

[@dloveless3585]

​@@RelativelyBest Furthermore, have you seen the fights these animals do using their necks?! Tbh, perhaps they were onto something with Mushroom Fauna.

[@NintendoFan6482]

"Would you love me if I was a giraffe?" Fauna, we'd love you no matter what you looked like.

[@The_Vending_Machi]

yellow fauna

[@GigaVanguard]

Like that would ever happen!

[@marinda653]

Like the shade of lemons...

[@nasanierulastname2997]

When I was younger there was a period of time where giraffes were my favorite animal, so this works out

[@RrmanRS]

Giraffe would explain that long neck

[@chemistweeb]

The mythological Kirin, almost as rare and fantastical as a female NL viewer

[@arcengal]

What do I think of giraffes? Why would I have an opinion on giraffes? They just have long necks and eat leaves. That's not, y'know, a multi-faceted thing in our world that needs critical thinking.

[@Shometsu7]

Never forget that time she overlaid herself a bunch of times to have a super long neck Love our silly Kirin

[@千海-w2p]

ファウナさんが、思う通りの姿でデビューできて本当に良かった。 英語には“GIRAFFE”という単語がありますが、日本語ではどちらも『キリン』なので本当にややこしいです。 貴女が麒麟だから、（もしもGIRAFFEであっても）、私は貴女を見つけて応援することができました。 本当にありがとうございます。

[@YTPaul3]

you do have a giraffle neck if you wanted to be one

[@noescapeonlycuddles4235]

Imagining a giraffe debuting along side all the other concepts would have been hilarious

[@route4112]

yooo these shorts are goated, i dont get the time to watch streams anymore but love to follow these girls. thanks :)

[@Ole_Rasmussen]

Wait, her neck being so thick may not be a coincidence

[@BeegBWolf]

Fauna: I'm a Kirin Mane-chan: Giraffe Chat: Tree!

[@SilverScizor753]

I love this mythological giraffe

[@Hakudamashi]

Well she does have the neck for it.

[@adamchuahzongye395]

"Would you still love me if I'm a giraffe?" With all my heart, to the moon and back my queen. UUUUUUUUU

[@TragerM]

"Am giraffe 101" would be a hell of a book, for her merch 😅😮😅

[@how1e28]

Faun fact : In Taiwanese, giraffes are called "kirin"

[@ignacio1700]

"For you baby, i would be batman" -Fauna probably

[@Shoeboxjeddy]

Fauna, born to be a Kirin, but ready to improvise into a giraffe if that's what it takes to make a good impression in Holo. Debut audience: Oh wow, she's a tree! Or maybe a deer! Fauna:

[@layzeemi98swagger41]

Giraffe.......... Long neck n long legs fauna............. Tempting

[@luco1338]

Kirins were in stories before giraffes were known in Asia, so when they saw a giraffe they were like "I knew they were real!"

[@D1j1t]

The beast from Over The Garden wall

[@jackknight1899]

Fauna’s default outfit is my favorite vtuber model so far She looks like a fairy coming out of a painting to do asmr

[@orbitalrayw]

Kirin is both Kirin the mythological creature and giraffe in japanese :D

Got mighty close to saying my name and now i am just being alerted by the repeated use of that word

[@SturmGamerxD724]

That's why her neck is so long

[@Zeracan]

-If Undertale was Realistic "actually, I'm not a giraffe, I'm a genderless child"

[@Nakirium_Addict]

Man, I love giraffe Fauna

[@sesiohaluoleo6095]

lore drop 🤯🤯 We'll always love you💚❤

[@sird135]

That explains the moment in the World Tree construction process that it looked like Fauna's neck.

[@sagwasu]

Qilin[chinese]=Kirin[japanese]=Gilin[korean] was originally a name for a mythological creature, but when east asians met a girrafe for the first time they thought "that must be the legendary Qirin/Kirin/Gilin" and now girrafes share the same name

[@khov]

I gonna miss her

[@Evalend]

When I first read scans of Naruto, the chapters where Sasuke fight Itachi used the same translation for his thunder Jutsu, leading to some confusion amongst fans. Thank you Fauna!

[@Kaijudomage]

We were so close to getting long Fauna

[@1003JustinLaw]

She still became a giraffe in that one model

[@iyqcha1789]

"Giraffes are awesome, i love Giraffes" -Usopp

[@VagabondNightmare]

we almost could have had fauna's giraffe neck slam instead of kirin headbutt and now I can't get the image of a giraffe fauna headbanging to Can you feel my heart out of my head

[@Hotrob_J]

This explains so much

[@Chooie6]

love my jolly green giraffe lady

[@2024년새해복많이받으]

Fauna, late but Merry Christmas and what I want to say is thank you for protecting the peace of nature in mythology. Thanks to your ASMR, many people have been able to like it. One more thing, when your pet cat leaves, I think it's amazing and I respect you for remaining calm and collected. You also had a lot of influence on mythology. If your graduation was truly your own choice, I won't deny it. But remember, even if you leave, I won't forget and protect Fauna. Of course, even if I say this, you won't see it. 💚

[@Seino446]

she could definitely be a giraffe if she wanted to be but I’m happy she’s a Kirin

[@avglover5]

It’s why her being one half of Gigiraffe is perfect 🦒

[@mindo1899]

Merry Christmas Fauna 😊 hope you’re having a joyful holiday.

[@SariusxX]

FST for Fauna Standard Time in the timestamps is a funny detail!

[@Eldien301]

[@wa_ge_official]

Why is the silly green giraffe talking about💚💚💚

[@Enclavefakesoldier]

So thats how wide fauna was born

[@WeebsLifeBalance]

Giraffe? That explain the thick neck

[@therighttrousers343]

What a long-necked surprise!

[@Yukari_MAiG]

Not just wide but also looooooong

[@NeroTheBoop]

Giraffe Fauna is wild

[@sable-king2066]

You know what to do, fanartists

[@kevsonkeyboard]

instead of the long-necked kirin we could've gotten, we got the WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE necked tree-trunk of the mother nature that we love

[@jehoiakimelidoronila5450]

Don't worry, you don't need to be a giraffe as being a sentient tree is already tall enough

[@Agent_Ice]

So that's where the long neck comes from

[@jimmyelkordy3752]

Instead she became one of the rarest mythological creatures: a woman on the internet

[@epiccarrot88]

Wait, is this where that original Halloween long-neck Fauna came from? The lore expands, like giraffe kirin's neck

[@braveagentg]

Well, she did go giraffe eventually

[@MeguminDStaff1007]

This is the canon reason why her halloween form is long necked lol

[@Gigadramon6]

Don't underestimate the unlimited destructive power of a giraffe!

[@yuki9612]

分かります🦒

[@Sparking_Roar97]

I thought she was some kind of nature spirit, like a dryad or nymph.

[@Drail.]

In another timeline Fauna's neck was incredibly long instead of incredibly thick. Wild

[@ジョン-h3v]

In a parallel universe: Man I love yellow gaming giraffe lady

[@Chewy_Dayo]
