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.

This is so pure I am in love

Where is the fanart? I need a fanart.

I need this on a shirt

Let me see what I can do

Can the dragon say ‘i am fire, i am destruction’?

chikorita is the most forgettable starter pokemon.

i dare anyone to try and remember the names of either of chikorita’s evolutions without looking them up.

or even try to remember what they look like. i sure the fuck can’t.

OP i respect your blog but I am honor-bound to tell you to square the fuck up

like how dare you OP chikorita may not be good competitive-wise, but I will defend that starter with every inch of my being

jokes aside though, it is true that chikorita pretty much got overshadowed by the others, especially since many consider it to be the worst grass starter and thus, doesn't get used a lot

What the gifs don’t convey is the soundtrack: the opening to Guns N Roses “Welcome to the Jungle.” Perf.

This movie was so fucking underrated. I blame the marketing. They tried to sell it as a face-off between Will Ferrell’s character and Brad Pitt’s, all because they didn’t want to spoil the twist: that Metro Man dies 10 minutes in. But it’s not that much of a twist, because the entire story is about what happens if the villain actually wins, and what makes a villain in the first place. I think it also got buried by Despicable Me, which came out at the same time, but this is infinitely superior.

Seriously, if you’ve never seen Megamind, go watch it right now.

the soundtrack? excellent. the voice acting? superb. the humor? diamonds. and the “true” villain? this movie has a pretty rad message to it.

it was absolutely buried by dispicable me, which had minions. the minions are marketable to a fault. all you have to do to sell something is slap a minion on it. megamind didn’t have an equivalent and it didn’t have steve carrell doing an annoying accent either.

they were presented as two versions of the same story archetype, but the reality is that dispicable me is a story about families and adoption, while megamind is a story about agency and identity. when marketed side by side as two attempts at a villain-is-actually-a-good-guy story, megamind looks like it fails to measure up; but they are actually two very different movies.
