This is spectacular!

Its what we dragons do.

That foot's gonna come off.

Not the foot. The chain or the tongue. Because physics.

So, dragons are typically insanely strong, and a tongue is 100% muscle. so let's assume he's got a good grip and isn't going to rip in half any time soon.
The chain itself is easily more dense than bone, so the only place it's gonna break is either at a weak link, or the wooden post.
Now, the post itself looks *fairly* solid. Safe to assume it's a hard wood throughout. There's also some kind of tendril thing at the top possibly holding it in place to give it an unknown amount of anchoring to the ground too. Between the structural integrity of that thing and an ankle made of flesh and bone? Almost definitely the latter would give first.
The only place where it *might* break is the link that connects the post to the chain. It's also facing away from the point where the tension would be so it'd need to be ripped out at a 90 degree angel. All in all I still think there's gonna be 5% of a sacrifice left over, but who can say.

My headcanon: he bites and breaks the chain with his teeth once she's all the way in.

the way that dragon looks, its going to break the chains, then consume the sacrifice.

If your angel reaches temperatures in excess of 90 degrees, douse liberally with water to cool.

Oh lawdy. Okay, can I rant about something real quick?
Okay, so the context here is I'm a teeny bit dyslexic. This isn't usually a problem because spellcheckers are a thing, but THEN you get words like angel and angle. These words are bullshit.
First up, they BOTH end with an 'el' sound. The difference between them is the 'a' noise. Why the fuck does the end of the word affect the start of it??
But then we have the added problem of them both being proper words, so my spellchecker does nothing.

Fuck angles, they aren't real. >:C

As someone who studies and uses English on a professional level, I agree; English is right fucked. It has been influenced by so many other languages, it doesn't even know what it's doing. There's bits of Latin, French, German, Gaelic, and Norse, not to mention all the modern or esoteric shit, like Japanese or Esperanto.

Consider these words: through, though, and tough. Just looking at them makes me sick. Not only do the letter combinations not make sense, but they're not even consistent on what sound that combination should make (throo, thoe, and tuff).

Other people who get it!!! :D
Sorry, it's hard to contain my happiness when there are people who can speak/write properly around. (My peers are teens unfortunately, and all speak in 'txt', as I call it)

One of my 'favourite' little English jokes is;
"The English language can be confusing, but it can be understood through tough thorough thought though."

Figured you might like two more words to keep you up at night. :P
