The world’s tiniest dragon must defend his hoard, a single gold coin, from those who would steal it.
Suggestion: The dragon’s definition of “steal” is somewhat loose. It still allows the coin to be used and bartered and change hands–but on one condition: the dragon must be with it at all times.
They become a familiar sight in the marketplace.
“Here’s your change, ma'am. One gold piece.” The merchant holds out a palm, on top of which rests a tiny, brilliantly colored creature clutching a single gold coin.
“That’s a dragon,” you say dumbly. “One piece… and a dragon.”
“Yes.”
You cautiously reach out and attempt to take your change. You tug. It holds. You tug harder. The dragon lets loose a tiny, protective growl.
“Ma'am–no, ma'am, you have to take the dragon, too.”
“Sorry?”
The seller notes your dubious expression. “Not from around here, are ya?” They shrug. “Them’s the rules. Take the coin, take the dragon.”
They wait expectantly. Wondering how the world has so suddenly gone mad, you slowly, slowly hold out your hand.
The dragon perks right up. It scampers from their palm to yours with the coin clamped in its jaws and scales your sleeve with sharp little claws.
“Have a nice day, ma'am,” the merchant says. “Spend him soon, now, you hear? At another booth, if you can. He likes to travel.”
From its perch upon your shoulder, the dragon lets out a happy trill.
Bonus: the coin eventually passes to the rogue in a group of travelling adventurers. The dragon becomes the mascot of the entire group, and they lay out a small pile of coins for him to sleep on every night, clutching his coin like a teddy bear.
Look at the anger on Scrooge’s face after Donald is thrown onto the ground. The way he turns his head and looks up at Glomgold with complete disgust sells the fact that he’s still very protective of Donald and loves him dearly.
Even though there’s some bad blood between them right now, nothing will ever stop him from being a protective uncle.
(PS: Please don’t remove anything from this post. Thanks)
what really struck me was how immediately he folded the very moment donald was threatened like he didn’t even have to think about it
always a massive relief to see scrooge clearly prioritise his nephews
“did you just pause the bee movie to have discourse about the bee movie”
Off camera: “This supreme court decision that could have happened, and since there had to have have been like, enough sort of like debate beforehand about whether…”
On camera: “Ok, but shouldn’t there have been a spinning newspaper transition there. Like Supreme Court declares bees as full citizens of the United States”
Off camera: “I mean, to be… to be fair, they’re only focusing on the bee media”
On camera: “On the bee media! *claps* ok, well on the bee media I think it would be a big fucking deal for them to be like Oh! We’re people now”
Off camera: “Well the thing is though, they probably already recognize themselves as FULL American citizens because they were born in America and have all… generations of coming *cut-off*”
On camera: “You know what this movie presents a lot of questions about personhood”
Off camera: “IT REALLY DOES! THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS MOVIE”
On camera: “The bee movie is about personhood really”
Off camera: “Ya, it is”
On camera: “Who is allowed to be a person?”
the crowning gem of this video is the Sollux shirt, which they probably wore specifically to watch Bee Movie
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
