Something was nagging at me for the last few days, I kept getting the feeling that the wave 2 slizer discs used the newer technic logo, and it turns out I was right, so I had to redo them.
Realised I never posted these here. Recently I finished the faceplate for Judge, and then pretty quickly did the faceplate for Blaster, since it’s just judge and Amazon slapped together.
For the purposes of this poll, “Harry Potter” does NOT COUNT as a valid answer. If it is the media that introduced dragons into your life, ignore it and please enter the next media with dragons that came into your life after HP.
IF you first heard of dragons somewhere else, please SPECIFY the name of that media IN THE NOTES. I was going to add an “Other (please specify in notes/tags)” but I have apparently run out of available answers. Also it seems I’m only able to run the poll for a week maximum, so that’s how long it’ll run. I hope to have fun with your answers :)
Pretty sure I first heard about dragons from Eric Carle’s Dragons, Dragons & other creatures that never were.
The true answer is probably one of the books of mythology and/or Arthuriana I read as a kid, but the first one that really made an impact was Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern!
A kids’ book about a boy who hatches and raises a dragon he names Tiamat!! I might have to go track that down now…
TBH I’d be shocked if anyone said their first encounter with dragons in media ever was something like GOT or Skyrim, since I assume that most people’s first encounters with dragons would be media aimed at very young children. Dragon Tales. Sleeping Beauty. Shrek.
Anyway my first one is The Paper Bag Princess:
But second on the list would be the audiobook version of Dealing With Dragons.
Y'all just unlocked a repressed childhood memory. I used to flip through this poem book all the time when I was little!!
I have no idea where I first heard of dragons, but I know that these two things are part of why I like them so much:
