video; what's up with those dragons?
Type: Video
Sender ID: pinksidekicking (Nimona)

Subject: Dragons
Warnings: Only maybe spoilers for Nimona movie
[ Please do not adjust your screens, there is, in fact, a pink gorilla appearing on the network. One who opens their mouth and a somewhat feminine voice comes out of. ]
You know, there are a lot of awesome things about this place. You can have a crew, no one's trying to kill you just because of being different, all the new foods, getting to explore the world, having ample opportunity to use fish and sea puns... breaking things sometimes. [ The gorilla is counting on their fingers. ]
Really, I could go on and on about why I love this world. [ It sounds like there's a- ]
But! You know what really gets me? We can't adopt dragons! Sure, they say "dragons can't be tamed", or "they're just too wild". [ Cue the quotation marks and the eye roll. ] But all I want in this life is a tiny pink mini-me dragon. Who better to try and be a dragon parent than someone who's also a dragon? At least a dragon on occasion.
Come on, you can't keep placing dragons in front of me and expect me to not want to adopt one of my very own! I am literally made to be a dragon parent, watch this!
[ The gorilla is setting up the phone to stand on its own, then steps back several feet before... with a little sparkle of pink magic - turns into a semi-large, equally pink dragon. It's holding out front arms like "ta-dah"! ]
Dragon parent Nimona!

A dragon's not a pet. They're a partner. Sometimes an outright predator, but if it's the kind that can get along with humans, it's got to be on their own terms. How would you like being kept as a pet?

First of all, not once did I use the word "pet". I used words like adopt, mini-me, and dragon parent.
Secondly, it's not like I'm saying we all go up and just take a dragon against its will. What I am saying is that they've got these dragon sanctuaries, but they're slapping "wild" and "untamable" labels on them like dragons can't be our friends.
If there's one thing I understand all too well, it's the whole world only seeing me one way and putting a label on me. This world has got us, though, so why aren't we trying to change that for dragons?

Anyway, she's pissed her off, obviously, and not without reason, so she holds up her hands placatingly.]
All right, all right, you're not getting any argument from me there. I grew up with a dragon. [Syldra is a lot to talk about in a public forum, and that's why Faris isn't even going to say her name, but.] I just meant you shouldn't be rushing at it like it's easy. You want to break into a sanctuary and make friends with a dragon properly, you'd best take care. They're prideful creatures, not like to take readily to being anyone's "mini-me."
[As for wild and untamable, well... there are plenty of people that fit those words, and Faris considers herself to be one of them.]

Breaking in and making friends with one of the dragons there isn't really the problem. Mostly because I could just slip in, unseen by many, and one of the pink dragons from last month really liked me. We'd be the best dragon duo this world has ever seen.
[ A soft sigh as she imagines how chaotic they would be together. Tiny dragon biting people, Nimona roasting them or trolling them. ]
