This Is A Dragon Appreciation Post

Inspired by the amazing and dragon-centric books by Marie Brennan, A Natural History of Dragons and The Tropic of Serpents

Let’s get straight to it: Dragons are the best mythical creatures ever.

From evil and fire breathing

to adorably cat like

they are delightful in their diversity

(also the fact that there are real ones is pretty cool)

True, many are huge and terrifying

good golly, I need new pants

But there are also tiny and adorable dragons!

seriously, I just want to take them home and cuddle

I can't even

And as with all things, it’s not all about size; dragons come in all shapes as well. You have the serpentine sort

the more dinosaur-y kind

and of course, the sassy spirit guides

Dragons are also known for displaying the full range of emotion (unlike boring unicorns who just prance around being peaceful. LAME)

(just kidding, The Last Unicorn is awesome)

There are happy dragons

Angry dragons

Sick dragons

Confused dragons

Content dragons

Wounded dragons

And even baby fighting dragons

So what did we learn today? THAT DRAGONS ARE AWESOME

And books about dragons are even better. Check out A NATURAL HISTORY OF DRAGONS and THE TROPIC OF SERPENTS by Marie Brennan!
