Ugh, I totally agree with you on Prince Lir, the poor boy deserves all the love! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Prince Lir is one of those characters that I could talk about all day. But, instead, Iāll just settle for a REALLY LONG RESPONSE ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM!
While I love The Last Unicorn movie and it is still my fav animated movie, it didnāt do Lir (or any of the characters for that matter) the justice the book did.Ā
Lir is introduced as this silly, nothing of a young man without a thought in his head. And when the party shows up at the castle, heās infatuated for Amalthea before sheās even inside. So he decides that, in every stereotypical way expected, heās gonna prove himself and win her over. He goes and becomes a hero. Like, he becomes ridiculously accomplishedāsaves tons of innocents, kills evil monsters, etc, etc. Thereās a whole long paragraph in the book about just how awesome he is. So he develops from this empty-headed schmuck into this hero, but, low and behold, Amalthea doesnāt give a shit. Sheās more concerned with the fact that he hurt his horse killing a dragon than the fact that heās killed five dragons.Ā
But does Lir get all butthurt about it? No. Heās frustrated because nothing he does seems to get her attention, but instead of becoming bitter, he says, okay, this isnāt working. And THEN he goes a step further and realizes that, hey, maybe Amalthea just isnāt interested in me. I know she doesnāt really approve of my hero-ing, but thatās cool, Iām my own person, so Iāll keep it up because I like it, but Iāma not pressure her or anything. Iāll just be there if she needs me and to write poetry about how great she is. Thatās fine.Ā
Does he complain about beingĀ āfriendzoned?ā No! He accepts that sheās not into him and instead of being frustrated with all the work he did to get her attention, he decides, instead, to realize that trying to get her attention made him a better person and that itās probably better to keeping doing those things, even without her validation. Not a bad plan.Ā
Well, low and behold, actually talking to her gets her attention. Lesson learned, Lir has some character development and, well, I donāt really blame the kid tbh. I mean, he grew up all alone in a castle with aĀ āfatherā that never viewed him as good enough and four old guys, plus a giant, rampaging bull. Heās gonna be lacking in social skills and awareness.Ā
ANYWAY! So him and Amalthea fall in love and everythingās cool. He spends time with her instead of trying to impress her and all is well. Heās respectful and never pushes herāitās stated in the book that Amalthea doesnāt like to be touched, ever, so you know what he does? Never fucking touches her! He loves her and doesnāt complain about it! (this is different in the movie). He is fine with her boundaries and loves her unconditionally. They have a merry fucking time for the months theyāre together and he helps her with her demons. He becomes a safe place for her, without a catch, without a clause.Ā
Now, at the end, itās revealed thatāspoilerāAmalthea is actually a unicorn turned into a human and in order to save the other unicorns, she has to get turned back and save the day. But in her mortal, love-blinded human form, sheās lost sight of the goal sheād been striving to achieve for years. Instead, she decides she wants to give up and basically run away with Lir because sheās afraid of whatās coming.Ā
You know what Lir says? He says, well, Iād love for our story to end happily and be with you, but hey, maybe we should focus on why you came all the way here instead of abandoning this quest you spent years putting your heart and soul into. Because he knows just as well as she does that they canāt just walk away from hundreds of imprisoned unicorns. Itās pretty much a certainty that they canāt be together, but with Lirās resolve, Amalthea finds the strength to move forward. Support! How nice.Ā
So she eventually gets turned into a unicorn again and Lir canāt do anything to help her fight this giant evil bull, but damn if he doesnāt try. He doesnāt take over, doesnāt take the glory. Nah, he does what little he can. Which, in the end, leads to his death. As a result, he gives the unicorn the push to become something greater than she thought she could be. Itās not a sacrifice that was made to save a damsel in distress, but one that empowered. He went in knowing heād die, and knowing he couldnāt save the unicorn himself, but, perhaps (in my interpretation) hoping that maybe he could give her the strength to save herself with what little he had to offer.Ā
And in the end he gets brought back to life, and is upset and gets kinda pouty, but hey, he doesnāt get the happy ending and thatās shitty, but forgivable.Ā
And, like, he never had any issues admitting that he was in loveāno hyper masculinity made him secretive or reserved. He respected the other woman in his life and was even willing to help out with menial things like peeling potatoes because that wasnāt below him or something only for women. He respected when Molly talked to him and he listened.Ā
Like, heās such a nice, respectful, good guy and he deserves more love. Read the book people. Lir in the movie is pretty good too, but heās a lot better in the book.Ā
Honestly, he spent his whole life pretty much alone in that castle and he still turned out pretty great. Heās like the original sunshine child.Ā
READ THE LAST UNICORN! Lir isnāt the only great thing about it.Ā
Okay, Iām done.Ā

ICE raids happening in Chicago on Tuesday January 21st. Get organized and get prepared.
what to do if you are arrested or detained by law enforcement, a resource from the National Immigration Law Center, available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese
immigration law help, database of free and low-cost immigration lawyers, searchable by zip code as well as by detention facility if you or a loved one has already been detained
report an ICE raid or arrest in Chicagoland to the Resurrection Project, a Chicago nonprofit that works on immigration justice as well as housing affordability and other community needs
for those of us watching in horror from the sidelines, one of the best things we can do right now is donate to immigrant justice legal services, like the National Immigrant Justice Center or a local group in your community
in the longer term, we can all help by speaking out in support of immigrants and against these xenophobic deportation campaigns ā in public discourse and in caring but firm one-on-one conversations with loved ones who've been swayed by hateful anti-immigrant rhretoric
What A Waste
I felt Inspired to bring awareness to the fast fashion industry and climate change. SHIEN is currently the biggest polluter in fast fashion. Iv boycotted them for almost a year now. Overconsumption and capitalism is eating away at our planet and at ourselves. We donāt always need something brand new.
All clothing is made by hand. So who isnāt getting paid when you buy cheap things?
Slow fashion is revolutionary. Play is revolutionary. Art is revolutionary.
SO GET CREATIVE!! Challenge yourself against the norms and push past your beliefs about clothing. Buy second hand, reuse and up cycle. LAYER LAYER LAYER FOR FASHION!
Fashion to me is not about how much money you have but how creative you can get with WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE! Use what you got! you think of yourself as an artist?? SO GET CREATIVE! Think outside the box. Cut things up. Tear them apart. Redesign and sew new creations. We must destroy to create. There is no one set way to do thing.
90% of my closet is thrifted or shopped second hand. The quality is what Iām after for materials. Fabric is multidimensional!
Trade with friends, donate, and think creatively! I believe in you. I believe in us. We can make a difference together.

BTS on film from āWhat a Wasteā. Think of what you are consuming, how much and how often. This isnāt sustainable.
Inspired by the waste of fast fashion like SHIEN, TEMU and Amazon. Who are leading polluters. Someone always pays for cheap things.

Well I guess Iāll be posting here some more besides just reposting quotes I want to use for my Instagram posts and art Inspo. Thankful I never fully left
People aren't homes, they never will be. People are rivers, always changing, forever flowing. They will disappear with everything you put inside them.

āA refrigerator isnāt freedom.ā
- Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley in the television series Ripley (2024)
āāwe are not only one thing forever. Weāre allowed to change at any point in our lives. We don't have to be stuck with a label someone else assigns us. Gods, we don't even have to stick to a label we give ourselves. So, you can be bi or pan or a lesbian or queer, and tomorrow you may have a better sense of who you are, or tomorrow you can be a big ole queer mess and figure it out fifty years from now.ā"
