I had to fish this out to make sure it was the right one, and son of a gun:

My copy matches the one in the notes of this post.

Once upon a time, this tumblerite was gifted this printout by her art teacher, and she kept it always. It’s a short story called The Dragon Tamers by Edith Nesbit from The Book of Dragons, a 1995 collection selected and illustrated by Michael Hague (not to be confused with Nesbit’s own collection of the same name, as I found out).

Once I read a story as a child about if one feeds a cat too much blood & bones they gradually turn into a dragon, and if one feeds a dragon too much bread & milk they gradually turn into a cat, retaining only their dragon eyes and claws. So here's a Bosun Dragon.

🌹 The Book of Dragons selected and illustrated by Michael Hague

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This collection of classic dragon stories includes some iconic older ones (Perseus, Li Chi, and Sigurd) and then there are a couple newer stories too (Bilbo and Smaug, The Reluctant Dragon, and some E. Nesbit ones)! Out of the seventeen stories in this book, my favorites were (obviously) Bilbo and Smaug, Saint George and the Dragon, and The Story of Wang Li.

Michael Hague has a unique and bold art style that adds life to these stories in a way thats really special. The only reason it’s a 3 star read for me is just that I didn’t personally love all the stories. Some I’ve read many times, but I did enjoy the ones I hadn’t read before.

Ranking of all of Ewan's characters GO :D

OH MY GOD YES BUT ALSO YOURE SO MEAN I LOVE IT!!!!!

ITS UNDER THE CUT CAUSE ITS LONH AND UNEDITED AND RAW

1) Aemond Targaryen - First character of his I properly saw and cared about. Though I wasn’t a massive fan at the beginning since I was way too in love with his brother, he definitely grew on me a lot

2) Billy Washington - He’s so pathetic and sweet and traumatised what’s not to love? I wanna hug him and softly make out with him on a sofa before making him a nice cup of tea for him. He’s actually the first character I saw of Ewans, as I watched trigger point when it was on gogglebox. Only I didn’t know it was him at the time, so when I rewatched the episode and saw Ewan I had a whole realisation overcome me

3) Michael Gavey - It’s the nerd what’s drawing me in. I love a switch character I can tell is a switch. He has such potential especially with his bitchy yet whiny attitude. I wanna see the movie hopefully next week so let’s fingerscross it so I can see my boy on screen

4) Osferth - He’s a sweetheart, but to be honest it’s a tie between him and Ettore. Both have places in my heart for different reasons. Osferth has this determination and kindness that sets himself out from the others. For his friends, the found family he has made for himself and his faith. It’s an admirable thing and the exploration of his character in different elements are so interesting to read about. I’m watching TLK in small steps and am just waiting patiently for the baby monk to make my day

5) Ettore - He has a darkness that draws me in I ain’t gonna deny it. I don’t condone his actions I say that now, but his mind fascinates me, especially seeing how Ewan portrayed him in the movie. The use of movement was actually so cool looking at it in a bigger picture and his character as a whole. We know nothing about him, and yet we also know everything. I fucking love it

6) Tom Bennett - He’s a cocky shit, but he’s so pretty. His love for his family and his relationships with people are a nice thing to see. He’s got a charm surrounding him and a charisma that refreshing and draws you in. One thing I also like is that there’s a character in the series that has my name and I officially have tons voice saying my name. It’s sort of weird

7) Abraham - He’s so tough and so determined and so addictive to see. He’s got that whole dominating persona, and I wanna see it crimble. I want him to Dom the fuck out of me yet also allow me to hold him if he’s sad. The best of both world. Also, the hair is magnificent. I wanna pull it so bad

8) Billy Taylor - He’s a cinnamon roll, but a forgettable one at that. He’s adorable and I love the idea of domming him, but I have no idea where to go after that. He’s pretty but forgettable. I do love him though, the fics do his character very well

9) Genyen/Shawn - At least there’s works on Billy T. You’re just a scarcity like finding water in a desert. I had a dream once when Genyen and Abraham were the same person. This is as interesting as I can find this character apart from his stealing thing. That makes him fun

10) Will - Listen, he’s pretty yes I will not deny, but I forget he’s here half the time I literally nearly forgot to add him to this list alone so yeah. Interesting character yes I won’t deny, but forgettable in the long run compared to other roles

I love the vintage style Michael Hague chose to use! This is also the only example of concept art for Ariel's sisters that I've managed to find so far.

Updated VGK Playoff primer

I left off Robin Lehner, who hasn't played in 2 years, who is, by all rights, signed through next year. He hasn't played in 2 years even though I deeeeeeply love him. I miss panda so much. I also left off all the guys who got traded over the summer or aren't playing anymore (Phil Kessel, Teddy Blueger, Nolan Patrick, Reilly Smith, Laurent Brossoit) Rip our wives, but none of them have played at all this year, so.
