A stone dragon who lives in my lounge room. Gave him a name in a similar style to how the dragon names in The Last Dragon Chronicles book series work!

Zanna momence

(i literally had to draw this in ms paint and then bring it into krita to colour it because my tablet has no pen pressure and my apple pencil has entered the spirit realm and everything else is in [redacted] but i JUST wanted to draw a little thing before the new year but god hates me and thinks i am his strongest soldier when actually i am his most pissed off and sleepiest and he keeps giving me his hardest battles (degree i signed up to do of my own volition) so everything is broken always. ANYWAYS. NEW YEAR. HAVE ONE.)

warmup bonus zanna for my read more-ers

if ms paint had layers i would use it a lot more i think

My friend who has never read TLDC: "I think David Rain is on testosterone and also he eats raw meat. That's my headcanon."

I know Lucy is explicitly written as 16 in The Fire Eternal but I dismiss that and favor the idea that Lucy should have been a university student approaching her 20s in TFE, and let me explain why you should, too.

a) it tracks SO MUCH MORE with the timeframe of David arriving at Wayward Crescent and the time jump of five years because I refuse to believe Lucy was 11 for most of The Fire Within AND everything that went down from Ice Fire to/in Fire Star? she was 11 for the months of David dating Sophie, to the point that he thinks he’ll move in with her? she was 11 for the months of that scholarly Arctic escapade? she was 11 for the months of that interpersonal Arctic escapade? absolutely no way. that, and Lucy talks about David as if he stayed with them much longer than a year, which brings me to...

b) the parallels that would have popped had Lucy been a university student for the 4th and 5th books! this is the most important to me. David is 20 in The Fire Within...Lucy is 18-19 in The Fire Eternal...Lucy is 20-21 in Dark Fire...when David returns to her, she is the age he had been when he met the Pennykettles. pls!!! I could cry thinking about the inclusion of that little detail.

c) whatever was going on with the dynamic between Lucy and Tam would have been much more digestible because seriously @ Chris d’Lacey, Lucy could have been 18/19 and pursuing her undergraduate degree, Tam could have been 23/24 writing his master’s thesis about David, and I’d have thought “somewhat questionable but not the worst thing ever” but instead she was 16 and he was close to 30??? what the actual fuck!!! my daughter did not deserve that, and young impressionable teenage me deserved dynamics between Lucy and characters her own age, justice for Bella the cat girl!!!

FIRST CHAOTER OF THE LOAVES EVERLASTING (MY TLDC REWRITE FIC) IS OFFICIALLY OUT AND REAL ‼️‼️

The Last Dragon Chronicles--Season 1 Structure

When I was younger, I read a book series called The Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris D'lacey. Recently, I started thinking about how it could be adapted into a movie or a TV Series. Now, I think that a TV series would probably be the best medium for an adaptation. It would give the series lots of exposure, and maybe even get more people interested in the books. With that out of the way, here's how I would do season 1.

Season 1 would be based on the first book, The Fire Within. Unlike the book, the viewers would be made aware that the clay dragons can come to life almost right off the bat, a la Once Upon a Time. I'm picturing a reveal at the end of the first episode, where Elizabeth or Lucy Pennykettle--or both--enter a room filled with clay dragons and talks to them, and they come forward and answer.

The first season would essentially have three interweaving stories contained in it, as well as one big overarching story about rescuing a squirrel. One plot would be about David Rain and his hosts, Liz and Lucy. Another plot would be about the Pennykettle dragons themselves, and how they try to help the squirrels in their own unique way. The third plot would not be introduced until about halfway through the season, and would be the story-within-a-story that David writes, called Snigger and the Nutbeast, which, like in the book, would have a connection to real events.

David's Plot

David's plot would, much like in The Fire Within, be about his journey to finding inspiration and believing in dragons, all while trying to help a bunch of squirrels. Of course, since the audience knows by the end of the first episode that the clay dragons come to life, the suspense will be in getting David to believe in it, as well as figuring out just how and why this happens. David, much like Emma Swan before him, initially is quite skeptical about dragons, but unlike Emma, he is at least willing to play along. Lucy would act as his Henry, constantly talking about dragons and trying to get him to believe in them. Liz, on the other hand, would initially treat David like any other person and try to discourage Lucy from giving away too much. She'd warm up over time, however, especially after David breaks his special dragon, Gadzooks.

The Dragons' Plot

The second plot that would happen throughout the narrative is that of the Pennykettle dragons. As mentioned earlier, this would mainly be about their own efforts to help the squirrels. It would be more comedic than David's plot, and there'd be quite a few mishaps and close calls. We may even see a few scenes that homage classic silent-movie comedy. In the end, however, the dragons would ultimately achieve their goal. Of course, we would have to make sure that this sort of plot doesn't get too grating on the viewers. I personally would like someone such as Howie Mandel to provide the voices for the Pennykettle dragons.

Snigger and the Nutbeast

The third plot of the season, as previously mentioned, would not appear until about halfway through the season. It would be, essentially, the story-within-a-story that David ends up writing about the squirrels. This would not be irrelevant to the plot, however, as the passages would be connected to true events. Of course, David's special dragon, Gadzooks, would be a huge help in that regard. Personally, I would like this segment to be animated by someone such as Cartoon Saloon.

Changes

As mentioned earlier, there will be some changes between The Fire Within and this hypothetical first season. For example, the character of Sophie would be removed entirely. Instead, Zanna Martindale, who in the book series doesn't show up until the second one, Icefire, would take her place. In this one, she'd be more of an "eco-goth" and would have picked up Sophie's trait of caring for animals because of it. Also, the concept of dragontongue would come up in the first season, though it may not be called as such yet, because we would obviously need some way for the Pennykettles and the dragons to clearly communicate with one another.

So, I've just written a sort of structural outline for the first season of a hypothetical Last Dragon Chronicles series. I hope all you fans of the series enjoy it.

So like *twirls hair around my finger* there’s this old book series...

Still on my re-read and I cannot describe how unhinged the end of book 4 made me so naturally I drew scenes instead. Just picture me gesturing wildly and gasping and you’ve got it.

this file is aptly titled ‘before you ruin it with snow’

and hey, you can actually see that the bear is translucent now 💀💀

wait guys in tldc whatever happened to zanna’s family? do they still believe she’s dead? but wouldn’t she have been mentioned on the news w all the david stuff maybe? or did she tell them she’s alive but they just never get mentioned? cos she seemed rly close with her sister and like… she has a literal kid now so have they never met alexa?

quickly coming to the conclusion i need to actually reread my last dragon chronicles books now that i’m an adult and can actually retain knowledge of the plot

Pet the Kitty

You reach out to pet the funny looking pink shoelace? kitty sleeping so peacefully… but just as you’re about to pet the creature, you jerk your hand back. You suddenly realize your hands are not your normal hands- th, they’re.. not normal, not normal at all!

“WHAT THE FU-!?!” you exclaim in fear and surprise

“Reow!!!” The adorable Shoelace Kitty yowls in fear, she jumps straight up into the air and scrambles off somewhere..

You feel bad for that, but still in the process of trying to understand what’s going on rn- it’s all so much..

While reading The Last Dragon Chronicles I’ve always imagined Elizabeth as looking like Ms Frizzle

Do you see my vision?

God FORBID women do anything

Pri:magon zanna is rattling around in my brain like a shiny penny and she must be let out on occasion for some crime and relaxation

i think it's imperative for people to know that, even if i don't tag it, every time i write David Rain into a fic he's transmasc (and Zanna is probably transfem)

I think finding a baby dragon in the bushes at work and nursing it back to health and havinf it sleep in my bed and forming an inseparable psychic bond with it and practice flying out in the back fields and going on wacky adventures and riding it thru the clouds and into the sunset and exploring places I couldve never reached alone would fix me. that or making out with someone.
