This does sound like straight up from the show lmao

Had this dream the other night. Feels like something that could've actually happened in the show.

A very good show that should never be forgotten

Recently got into Blazing Dragons (the cartoon), decided to draw Squire Flicker because I love him

Blazing Dragons, from 1996

Terry Jones (Yes, that Terry Jones, the Monty Python one) created this utterly absurd series about a time in the Court of Camelhot, where the Dragons of the Square Table, led by the noble King Allfire and Queen Griddle as they face assorted nonsense.

Note the line in the song which goes: "We're straight, and true, and good and kind" with a different dragon for each word is as subversive as it gets as

"Straight" is Sir Blaze, "The Smartly Dressed and Fashionably Late", whose shall we say, more openly gay leanings were trimmed from the US broadcast version. The wink as be proclaims he's straight says it all really

"True" is Sir Burnevere, "The Overly Educated", who may speak the truth, but uses words that no one else udnerstands.

"Good" is Sir Hotbreath who is not bad, per se, but has a tendency to torch everything in sight uncontrollable.

"Kind" is Sir Loungelot, the lazy, arrogant Head Knight, who takes credit for everything that goes well (When the hard work is done by his smart and actually brave quire, Flicker)

I also love that the whole line is

"We're staight and true and good and kind

And we're very good at knitting.

THAT DOESN'T RHYME! THAT'S OKAY

WE'RE GOING TO SING IT ANYWAY!"

What are your thoughts on how King Allfire and Queen Griddle got married?

I always had the feeling it was an arranged marriage. It doesn't seem to be loving with Griddle willing to flirt elsewhere and cheat if she could and Allfire simply not caring for most part and cringing at the very idea of being intimate with her or partaking with her hobbies (essentially a Boomer comic marriage just without the hate), but they still seem to be close enough to enjoy little walks together and him be gallant to her and among othr things she does her job of a king's queen pretty seriously in trying to marry off his daughter, teach her how to be a real Lady and shaking him off when he acts a little stupid or balless instead of a King because she knows image and people understanding his laws matter pretty much. Add to that Griddle seems to still be in loce with her late husband Sir Herman in the way she talks about him and has tears just thinking about him going missing so shr might have never moved on (and tried to by getting married again and being promiscuous but it doesn't heal her heart... oof I made myself sad)

So not loving but working, therefore arranged. Plus both are widowed single royal parents (I mean it's never said for Allfire but we guess so) and back then a king and a princess couldn't stay widowed for too long because marriages were business contracts for alliances, especially because in tradition a mother figure had to care for a father's child and a father figure had to provide fot a mother and her child

So I always saw a still grieving King Allfire having to rise a newborn Princess Flame alone being advised to remarry to consolidate the alliances of the just as new Camelhot now whatever alliance was with his late wife's family couldn't work anymore and a still grieving Princess Griddle rising a toddler Sir Blaze alone being told by her mother Queen Mammoth a mother princess couldn't stay unmarried for the sake of both her son and her kingdom. So both were looking for a new engagement at the same time, found each other's advert (with how wacky this universe is I bet royals look for spouses through the papers too lmao) and because they were just what they were looking for got married with no other reason except maybe lust/physical attraction (Allfire was canonically a buff looker when he was young and we KNOW how Griddle is into "beefcakes" plus he was famous among kings for pulling Excaliburn and we know she loves prestige ; and with how she loves to tale care of herself and acts like she isn't old we can imagine she too was beautiful and Allfire didn't mind at all) but that aside no feeling, and they just grew to tolerate each other as they aged together because they had a deal

Also personnal headcanon that King Allfire had met Sir Herman before and the 2 hated each other due to clashing personalities and styles (hence why unlike Griddle who became a mom to Flame Allfire never loved Blaze and gave him daddy issues, reminded him too much of his father to bond with) so Allfire also had an extra petty motivation that felt like flipping the bird at his grave like "I'm fucking your wife whatcha gonna do" XD

Ah Sir Blaze my beloved. I am SURE it is on purpose

OK, so I remembered the show Blazing Dragons, which was this cute little cartoon about anthro dragons (and a few humans, plus other fantasy creatures) who basically had the roles of King Arthur and his knights, but in parody; they have a Square Table (instead of the Round Table), the sword Excaliburn (instead of Excalibur), and like Sir Lounge-a-Lot (instead of Lancelot). I could recall certain episodes and characters, but I was having trouble remembering the theme song, so I found a video and watched it with the sub-titles (because reading plus hearing it helps it form in my mind better), and... pfff, OK, I have to explain this part first; one character, Sir Blaze? He was always like, SUPER gay. I mean, he was "90s kids cartoon gay", so he was very effeminate and stylish (not quite as mockingly as you might think, he was also kinda "cool" too), but yeah. He was gay. So now I'm watching the opening theme with sub-titles, and this part-

He WINKS at the audience while singing the line "We're straight" (the rest of the verse "and true and good and kind" is spoken by the other characters, but it all goes by very quickly). Just. Haha, yeah, we're "straight" *wink*. I don't know how intentional that is by the people working on it at the time, but that is AMAZING. I miss you gay dragon knight. I hope you got a gay dragon boyfriend

On A Scale Of 1 To 10, How Do You Rate Blazing Dragons?

Nothing is perfect so 9.5/10

[blazingdragonsrevolution]

Do you ever read other dragon stories? Watched other dragon cartoons/movies/tv shows? What are your thoughts on Game of Thrones?

I LOVE dragons and always did it is precisely for that that I watched the show as a kid ! Little kid me was SURE they existed. I had Dragonology as one of my favorite books ever so hard I was sure it was a real journal and dreamt to keep goint with the searches one day, I had the nintendo DS game too, I love the first HTTYD movie as one of my favorite movies, many dragon characters BD characters aside are my favorite characters ever (Mushu, Smaug etc) I have lots of other dragon books and encyclopedias, Charles à l'école des dragons is an adorable story for little kids with GORGEOUS illustrations and colors (the fact Charles' dad is a European Dragon and his mom a Chinese Dragon is top notch), to this day I THRIVE to get my hands on a little kids booklet Le Prince Ernest et le dragon à trois têtes but I never found it because must have been out of stock and I SWEAR ONE DAY I WILL GET IT EVEN IF IT'S A TODDLER BOOK, I loved Potatoes and Dragons, Dragon Hunters, American Dragon Jake Long, Dragon Booster (though I didn't understand anything about its plot lmao I was just staring at the dragons), any piece of media good or bad I gave a chance to because DRAGON IN IT, I liked the Spyro Nintendo DS games even if I never finished them and LOVE Reignited Trilogy (and want to fuck a bunch of Spyro's dads lmao) Raghnarok is one of my favorite comics ever and probably the reason why I want to make comics at all, I love it when they subvert the trope and have the dragon be friends or lovers with the princess or the knight, I am sure I am a scalie because of all of those, many movies or comics or shows that had no dragon until then suddenly having one (like Maleficient turning into one) suddenly gain +1000 coolness to my eyes, I loved lehends and mythologies with dragons or huge snakes in it and would get interested in the myths more just to know more about them, I loved dinosaurs because they were as close as dragon evidence as we could get, and in fact when I was 8 or 9 I had my very first lore-based story I gave up on since then because what I was imagining as super badass was very childish (but I reused elements here and there) was a series of books I wanted to write in a world inhabited by dragons with dragon characters, dragon-like gods, lots of species and designs etc. Buuut even if they look gorgeous I won't watch GoT for them, never was interested in such a dark violent and hopeless series whose moral is "humans are bad and any form of goodness will always be crushed" I already live in the real world so let me dream
