Because dragons are kefirah, surely you know that?

I loved this, please continue the story!

Are they?

I remember debating whether a Jewish dragon is allowed to breathe on shabbos, due to the risk of accidentally setting things on fire. The shayla centered on whether the fire is always lit inside the dragon or only activated when necessary.

Dragons are not kefirah! The word תנין is translated by some as sea-dragon.

A Jewish dragon has bigger problems. Unless he's a vegetarian or strictly carnivore, what to do about basar v'chalav? The entire mouth area would definitely reach a temperature of yad soledes bo.

The only line I don't get is "I met boys with blue eyes" after being taken away by the dragon

Blue eyes are very common among Chasidim . Is this an insider reference that I am missing?

Realize that with your satire you are trivializing anyone on this board that is struggling with their community, feeling repressed. The tv show is trash, but other peoples feelings - you know the ones that dont have Netflix series, but sit home and cry and try to make things work - they can be hurting from this.

Any color was forbidden, so they all wore grey contact lenses.

That's probably why the OP wrote this is a satire in the title so people who would be triggered won't open this thread Rolling Eyes

Was Topaz depressed after Frima left to live her life? Or was that unique to Puff the Magic Dragon? (That song is my main source on the psychology of dragons.)

OP, this needs to be a YA book. You're a gifted writer.

Here's what I want to know - what kind of pixie magic does it take to have twins, and then go on to become a bikini model?

I find the dragon part far more believable. 🐉
