hello can i have some unicorns :)

Oooh, of course you can! Let me quickly look up some of my favorite sources...

Thomas de Cantimpré has no less than 3 unicorns covered! That's 3 times the amount of unicorns! From top to bottom, you have the monoceros, the Indian onager, and the unicorn itself.

Albertus Magnus gives us this classic animal, looking somewhat heraldic.

This unicorn from the Ortus Sanitatis, though, is rather contemplative looking. And seems rather goaty too.

The rhinoceros (karkadan) from Middle Eastern manuscripts varies a lot, sometimes clearly a rhino and sometimes more fanciful. This version is from a copy of al-Qazwini.

Jonston covers around 9 different unicorns, some of which are horny in more ways than one! (Trust me. Look them up, I've posted them before). These ones look like standard maned unicorns.

Ambroise Paré had a lot to say about unicorns (and mummies, and the plague, and anything else vaguely related to public health). Here is the pirassoipi, a two-horned unicorn (a bicorn?) from Italy

And you know what? I've been sticking to vintage illustrations but here's Rudolf Freund's spectacular historically-accurate unicorn!

Stay tuned for more unicorn imagery!

A couple nights ago, Kirsten went to a meeting of her local historical society.  She saw a presentation about John Johnston, an agent and trade factor between the U.S. government and the Indian tribes of western Ohio. Johnston’s home is now an extensive museum and living history center, where you can learn what life was like for white settlers and natives of Ohio in the early 1800s. Kirsten is super-hype to visit it come Spring.

My MCU Rewatch: Captain America, the first surprisingly wonderful Marvel movie

My MCU Rewatch: Captain America, the first surprisingly wonderful Marvel movie

The first 18 Marvel movies are essentially a story about Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and Bucky, with a little bit of Thanos thrown in. Even Black Panther has a post credit scene that plays directly to this storyline. And in Captain America we see the beginning of this trio’s story. How does it hold up and what does it foreshadow? Read on. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011) DID I FALL ASLEEP?…
