space v dragons

Obviously dragons are cool, but come on! They're much more limited than space. In space you can have space dragons, as well was as space whales, space unicorns, and all other sorts of freaky shit!

exactly!

voted dragons, because dragons are real

Has to be space really, although I'm coming round to dragons more. Hoarders of gold and terrorisers of little villages, burning furry halflings like roast chestnuts. Gloomy, mute, inhuman and ancient populators of otherwise fey mare's nests of childlike variations on folk tales and dubious sexual cliche.

But space. Ray guns. Vistas of uncomprehendable reality. Moons.

aliens.

Ultimately I am a pacifist, so obvs space.

I vote dragons because reptiles in myth get a bad rap and I think they're way more important than the sagas/Grimm Bros let on.

Hi y'all!

voted dragons, because dragons are real

Demons are real, dragons awake

it's just possible that there are actual real dragons out there in space. and if so, it's space we have to thank for it, not dragons.

you need space so you can banish bad dragons to distant solar systems

otoh there could be vast tracts of unexplored space inside dragons

THINK ABOUT IT

Demons are real, dragons awake
oh goddamn

also totally true, and i would rather be floating in space than spend one minute in the company of either/any of those guys

maybe when you are eaten by a dragon, you are instantly sent into outer space
~think about it~

aliens.

I forgot aliens! Knew there was something.

aliens are gross

in general, space

Prefer my books to be about dragons tho

I vote dragons because reptiles in myth get a bad rap and I think they're way more important than the sagas/Grimm Bros let on.

This is a good point. Pretty sure that the legend of St George and the space wouldn't have had quite the same resonance.

How about aliens that look like dragons?

they are aliens

space is full of moons

dragons that look like aliens would def get my wote

i mean, how would you categorise aliens that look like kfc? Would you eat them because they looked like kfc? Congrats u just started a war we cannot win, bozo.

smh

who cares, you're probably already eating aliens every day already

why not give in to the expansive peace of space

Would you eat them because they looked like kfc?

^ space dragon

cf. singing space dragon in The Iron Man.

well, space-bat-angel-dragon.

what if space is really, really boring

^hates life

Other way around, bub. Space is about getting out of this life, possibly out of bodies and humanity altogether. Dragons are about as vital as it gets.

That's my theory for today, anyway.

Space is infinite.
It is dark.
Space is neutral.
It is cold.

Stars occupy minute areas of space. They are clustered a few billion here. A few billion there. As if seeking consolation in numbers.
Space does not care.

Space does not threaten.
Space does not comfort.
It does not sleep; it does not wake; it does not dream; it does not hope; it does not fear; it does not love; it does not hate; it does not encourage any of these qualities.
Space cannot be measured. It cannot be angered, it cannot be placated. It cannot be summed up. Space is there.
Space is not large and it is not small. It does not live and it does not die. It does not offer truth and neither does it lie.
Space is a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact.
Space is the absence of time and of matter

^^^^you can't say any of that shit about dragons

it's still pretty cool tho

mine was a vote for space, BTW

Space is infinite and therefore symbol for an infinite number of possibilities, it's the widest canvas possible to project the self.

Dragons on the other hand have always been convenient shorthand for fears of the unknown, fears of the Other: remember the old maps that imagine a flat world where you could just sail and sail until you fell of the edge? And what awaited you there? "HERE BE DRAGONS"

(might be a reason to prefer dragons, actually)

Yeah, man, I'll take human life right here! All that stuff you just said about space repels me like fucken' magnets.

I prefer space because living in fear is a waste of time.

Important evidence for your consideration:

This had hitherto been a contest between the sci-fi future and the fantasy past

I also think of it as interior space/dragon and exterior space/space, though? Like space is gonna make us as we know "us" obsolete, or so different that we won't know where we came from. (I was thinking the other night while wringing out laundry about what a world without gravity or with very weak gravity would be like, and realized the differences in how we would live were eclipsed by the greater differences in what would have evolved as "human" in the first place.)

Whereas dragons are gonna show you what was already in you that you didn't even know about; primal, secret things.

Aw see I already know those things and I am ready to float in space, thank u

guys

imagine a dragon made out of stars

draccus constellation

that would pwn imo

"Some legends even speak of the dragons being a comet from space and this is definitely another additive to this scenario due to the fact that comets usually accompany fire."

predator vs dragon

I feel like space would only be palatable if FTL travel was provided. otherwise it'd be a BIG BORE.

"Are we there yet?"

FTL is a vague term with vague outcomes, stasis probaly the way fwd imo

xp - And then what, a dragon? Everything is a journey, you will never get there.

think about all the space pollution space travel would bring - what if we changed the universe from a red shift universe to a blue shift universe because people were choosing mass produced spaceliners from betelguese V instead of artisanal, locally sourced cruiseships from alpha centauri?

in dragons, no one can hear u scream

Outside of a dragon, space is a man's best friend; inside of a dragon, no one can hear u scream.

also we are already experiencing space, every day! do you know how much space there is between an atom's nucleus and its electrons?????? think of all the atoms in your body!!!!!

LOL

xpost

For all we know, dayo, part of that immense space is inhabited by infinitesimally small dragons

I call them...dragtoms

I was about to google for cats in drag before I remembered I was at work

clearly the superior way to travel thru space is on a dragon

do you know of the old proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold? it is very cold in dragons

xxp you need to change jobs to one that allows you to do that during working hours, preferably as part of your job description.

also, late but here it is:

I'm an alien
an illegal alien
At a KFC
in New Yo-oooork

i mean, how would you categorise aliens that look like kfc?

"They must have looked something like a roast chicken."

please to consider in favor of space

dragons motherfucker thats where i stay

Mass Effect is better than Dragon Age, so Space.

with all this Skyrim hubbub I'm sick of dragons, voted space.

dragons are and always have been bullshit

space isn't and hasn't

P sure Bruce Coville never wrote a book called Jeremy Thatcher, Space Hatcher, come on.

pour one out for anne mccaffrey

the only Bruce Coville books I read were the "my teacher is an alien" series

voted space

I have never really felt like I could trust a dragon

definitely need a bruce coville books poll

I have never really felt like I could trust a dragon

*cries*

Oh, and here's that dragon in space that deems mentioned. (Just look for a U-shaped line of stars around the Little Dipper.)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

What if all of space -- exists within the mind of a dragon?!

dragons in space obv

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoGYSvpJeII&feature=related

hold that thought, i'm gonna ring my mans for some good weed

pour one out for anne mccaffrey

word.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ha HA
38 is my lucky number too

space is the place

RIP dragons, maybe I'll see you again in space sometime

was this poll rigged? not sure i trust the programming in this place

Those results look approximately right.

Take that, Smaug.

if it came to a fight the average dragon would pwn space imo

was this poll rigged? not sure i trust the programming in this place space
