: Oooh I know. Nothing. abotu this.
Ex-ocolonist
But I am Intrigued
fish deranged
Cimorene is the main character of the first three enchanted forest chronicles books and she is a princess who runs away from her kingdom and gets captured by dragons because she wants to be
fish deranged
and the entire first book is her being increasingly annoyed that knights keep trying to rescue her because she is trying to learn magic and hang out with her new dragon bestie
fish deranged
she also figures out the one way to (temporarily) kill wizards and it is hitting them with a bucket of soapy water with just a little bit of lemon
fish deranged
enchanted forest chronicles is genuinely a fucking great series just on its own merits but cimorene is very you in the 'i am a woman who will absolutely destroy you' sort of way
fish deranged
second book she gets a boyfriend and spends basically the whole book being cooler than him
💀 BONE DADDY
seconding everything Ink just said
Ex-ocolonist
oh my god
fish deranged
third book she spends pregnant and is still the most competent one in the adventuring party
Ex-ocolonist
I love that but also how you absolutely have invested in this series ink
fish deranged
okay but listen this series unironically fucking rules
fish deranged
it's one of those ones that plays around with fairytale tropes in a really fun, clever way
fish deranged
like just the way they handle dragons and dragons capturing princesses is so good, it's like. considered a Done Thing for dragons to have a princess and that is how most princesses get married. it's like. traditional.
fish deranged
so all the other princesses do not fucking get why cimorene is like no i want to stay
fish deranged
i like making dragon sized meals and organizing the dragon library and learning magic and also my dragon is really cool and nice actually
fish deranged
dragons are also very gender in that they do not have a gender for most of their adolescence until they pick one as an adult
Ex-ocolonist
oh
fish deranged
and also their political roles are not gendered in that 'king' is literally just the job title and any gender dragon can be king
fish deranged
cimorene suggests to her dragon (female) that she could be queen and Kazul is just like absolutely fucking not queen is the most boring job
fish deranged
anyway please read enchanted forest chronicles.

I remember loving it as a kid

tiny ink who still thought he was cis, reading about dragon gender: i sure hope this doesn't awaken anything in me
Ex-ocolonist
I'll have to find it... somewhere
fish deranged
if you have a library card i almost guarantee it is either at the library or available through something like libby
💀 BONE DADDY
