gushing about kobolds, long post
aside from them just being cool critters, i love kobolds because i relate to and sympathize with how they're treated in their original context
they're fragile creatures seen as weak and lesser, regularly mistreated when they aren't murdered without a second thought. looked down on for worshipping dragons and being thieves and rascals
there's something powerful and queer about subverting that bleak narrative, and treating kobolds as precious and valuable and lovable creatures that learned to be crafty to take care of each other, and happily serve dragons in exchange for care and protection

kobolds are really important to me on a personal level!! it makes me really happy to see more people liking them
something about turning what feels like an unfair, dehumanizing narrative on its head by genuinely loving and valuing kobolds gives me a warm feeling inside
