This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

my point is that the dragon just becomes a beast with napalm sacks in this case. dragons are a mythotype (i made that word up) that are inextricably linked to something deep in the psyche of man - something that has been there since before written history across multiple cultures. that's special. that's an insight into who we are. that's more than just 'big lizard with fire breath'. they have an esoteric quality to them that makes them purely magical to me, and to make them anything less than that just cheapens them into something flimsy and 2 dimensional.
