Don't take this as me throwing shade on anyone (because, as you know, I'm familiar with the feelings behind it). It's just that this situation depicted there is the epitome of what I imagined back then. I thought, or at least hoped, I had the soul of a dragon and that I was emanating an aura (like the person in the drawing) people might instinctively feel.
I moved past this sort of imagery, so it only feels silly to me now. I don't boost a lot of therian memes for this reason.
Sometimes, I wish I could still feel the way I did then because thinking I'm a dragon on some level sure is more fun than my current mindset. On the other hand, now I feel completely grounded in my identity and worry way less about stupid things.
