Drabble Kaboom!

Dragons And Cosplayers

"About how Ember and the Equestrian dragons would react to those dragon suiters?"
Drabble commission for Ardashir.

Dragon Lord Ember looked at the photographs Princess Twilight showed her. "This is disturbing."

"You don't like that humans would want to imitate you?" Twilight asked.

"That's not the problem! The body shape, the texture of the scales, the size of their heads... ugh! It's actually LESS disturbing to look at the amateur costumes, they are more iconic, symbolic! I feel like I'm looking at an artistic rendition of a dragon... rather than a drunk changeling trying to infiltrate my kingdom."

"It's not... THAT bad is it?" Twilight asked nervously.

Ember focused her eyes on Twilight. "Tell me, if you saw a creature wearing a disportioncate and exaggerated costume of a pony, would not find it uncomfortable?"

Twilight thought of some of Pinkie Pie's ... 'pony costumes' and shuddered. "Okay, I see your point."

"Which is why I have to commend Spike for thinking first of selling his molts to them."

"WHAT?"

"Oh it'll be perhaps even more creepy, seeing them go around with our molts that won't fit right and be misshapen... but if they're willing to part with TREASURE for it... Teenage dragons are going to be flooding the market with their discarded skins!"

"Ah... okay... So... WOULD YOU want to be making a public appearances?" Ask Twilight tentatively.

"For how much?"

"I thought you were trying to be a PROGRESSIVE Dragon Lord?"

"I am. That doesn't mean I'm about to be a PONY Dragon Lord."
