Careful what you wish for

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-d29z8G6U28 And here this exact post is, animated with the original voice acting!
Well
No
the voice acting comes from a different channel @ZacSpeaksGiant but the animator and him have a mutually beneficial relationship.
-
I must have missed the part where the dragon funded infrastructure, hired knights to keep his populace safe, propped up the food stores and economy in times of famine, and negotiated with neighboring kingdoms when needed. Oh and funding research. Forgot how often dragons did that.
And for those asking about benevolent kings:
Aragorn
T’Challa/Black Panther
Mufasa
King Arthur
King Leonidas
King Tirian
Some real life good kings(and a queen)
Emperor Augustus(look up the slave who broke a crystal glass)
Empress Wu Zerian
Cyrus the Great
Never would have thought to find a shill for royalty in the year 2025

show me a dragon that doesnt burn down villages
Show us a fucking dragon

True, and he does link the source.

In regards to King v. Dragon.
-
Show me this king that personally leads the road building crew
Well, I said funded so…
-
A yes, the benevolent ruler, almost as common as the benevolent slave owner.
Funded infrastructure
Or, returned a small amount of the value extracted in order to facilitate further extraction
Hired knights to
Keep his interests safe
(Hoarded resources and returned a pittance to prop up) food stores and the economy in times of famine
Negotiated with neighboring kingdoms
To further state interests
Funded research
At public expense for private gain
Still more common than the benevolent dragon though.
-
can it be fucking a car?
Preferably, yes
-
The king answering with anything other than some variation of “Because I ordered you to” broke my immersion.
Ironically, this king was the one exception that was benevolent and fair. The knight, of course, was a member of MAGA - Make Arcadia Great Again.
-
In regards to King v. Dragon.
They both suck
-
Well, I said funded so…
Show me this king that creates value.

Lol you cannot be for real

Mufasa

What? It’s a fictional kingdom based on Hamlet. You’re not going to split hairs over it being fiction when the second half of the equation is a dragon are you?.
