#anyway moral of the story dragons are inherently queer to their core pass it on

[saphira-approves]

Coming to the realization that much of my favorite dragon media, both growing up and recently discovered, had some stealthily normalized queer rep, including but not limited to:

Memoirs of Lady Trent (some genderfluidity, an asexual character who experiments to determine for sure)

Temeraire (a canon queer couple and some Strong vibes for another) (if you know you know)

Seraphina (trans character, gay saints, a fairly central queer relationship)

Priory of the Orange Tree and its prequel (lesbians all the way down, queer rep all over the place)

Eon/a (technically my first introduction to the very concept of being transgender)

So now here I am, politely staring down Paolini, raising a gnarled finger and intoning in a dread voice, “YOURS NEXT—”

#mr paolini please im begging you. we all know the elves are largely bisexual. #inheritance cycle #dragon media #saph speaks #yeah hi i just finished the second seraphina book and I Am Not Sane #im wishing i’d kept my friends apprised of my thoughts as i read because the seldaphina vibes were Immaculate™️ but i was like #‘psh. it’s a 20-aughts YA fantasy novel. it wouldn’t have flown.’ #I WAS WRONG. IT FLEW. IT FLIES. #who let me only read the first book as a kid. I COULD HAVE HAD MY BI AWAKENING SO MUCH EARLIER. #anyway moral of the story dragons are inherently queer to their core pass it on
