Innocent and Wise and full of pain @thelastamalthea - Tumblr Blog

But maybe I’ll be back one day. Who knows))

No but guys, GUYS, we need to talk about how important this scene is. Because the commonly accepted lore about unicorns is that they are so good and pure that they’ll only appear to young virginal girls. Because Molly Grue is a middle-aged woman who has been living with bandits for most of her life and is as far from innocent and virginal as you’re likely to get. Because she’s so angry that this creature, embodying everything that society tells her she’s lost, everything she’s thrown away through her own choices, is here now when all that The Unicorn represents is long since behind her. Because she knows, in a way that only someone who’s been steeped in an oppressive system her entire life can ever know, that she’s missed her chance and doesn’t deserve to be seeing a unicorn now.

And you know what? The Unicorn doesn’t give two fucks about her virginity, about her supposed loss of innocence and purity. She’s not repelled by Molly being older, being experienced, being a full human person. None of that has ever mattered to unicorns, only to the people telling stories about them. Not only does she step in to physically comfort her here, but before long this bandit’s wife becomes her friend, closer to her in most ways than Schmendrick.

This story is fucking revolutionary, you guys, and I just have a lot of feelings about it.

Let’s take a minute to appreciate how badass Molly Grue is that she has the guts to yell at a fucking unicorn.

I think Molly Grue’s character and her inclusion in this story affected me greatly as a child. I didn’t even know what the “This” was in the “…when I am this.” but you’d have to be a robot to not feel compassion for this character or feel gladdened by the Unicorn’s reaction.

((Sorry for the hiatus!

Hopefully I will return to this blog soon))

STILL LOVE TIHS COMIC

"I know you. I almost knew you as soon as I saw you on the road, coming to my door with your cook and your clown.

Since then, there is no movement of yours that has not betrayed you. A pace, a glance, a turn of the head, the flash of your throat as you breathe, even your way of standing perfectly still — they were all my spies."

no wonder they never do anything to stop them transforming. They probably just stand there like:

"Boo," said Benny realising a few seconds after that sneaking up on an unicorn might not of been the best idea.

The unicorn had sensed her approaching long, long before she had got anywhere near her, and the only reason the unicorn was still there was because she had decided Benny was not a threat to her.

The creature calmly and gracefully turned her head towards her, completely unfazed.

"Hello. Is there something you need?" the unicorn asked her.

The unicorn looked bewildered. "Killing does not equal healing in most respects. Is he immortal then, this Irving?"

"He’s a Time Lord.. It’s like the opening scenes from Terminator, no matter how much you kill the creature there it is crawling it’s way back to life. Oh right yeah, you probably have no clue what I’m talking about," Benny giggled to herself having a image in her head of the Unicorn sitting there watching Terminator.

The Unicorn blinked, the human pop culture reference lost on her. "I do not know what you are speaking of, no. But I understand the notion of a creature coming back to life. You say he is a Time Lord. Do all Time Lords have that ability, or is it just him?"
