Curious Archive’s newest video about the cultural history of unicorns draws a connection between the huge market of selling “unicorn horn” in sixteenth century Europe and the modern presence of the unicorn as a commercialized symbol across unicorn stickers and unicorn toys and unicorn breakfast cereals and comes to the conclusion, “From the moment we first captured the unicorn, we’ve been selling it”
And I had to stare at the wall for a bit
“What’s endured about The Last Unicorn is its treatise on how trying to possess a symbol can erode its meaning, how attempts to commodify the transcendental deface its poignance — as Miller writes in The Unicorn Trade, ‘The Last Unicorn could be interpreted as a parable warning against the destructive desire to possess unicorns.’
“And therefore there is a notable irony that the book’s success helped launch a new unicorn marketing craze — one that’s never fully let up.”
Last night, I dreamed many things, but it ended with a unicorn atop me in my bed, looking out the window into a marshy woods and colorful sky. I pet her coat and the hair was longer and softer than I imagined. “They’re sometimes so hard to deal with” she said. “You’re beautiful…sorry.” I said. “No, it’s fine. I know it’s just how you feel.” She said. “Does it annoy you, how people treat you?” I asked. She looked out the window. “A bit. It’s unjust at times.” She said, then looked towards me where I was becoming foggier. “I must go now.” She said. I woke up a moment later and greeted August.
I wonder if she really visited me. She was so soft and smooth and lacked temperature. Her eyes were huge and ringed with purple and long lashes like a llama. I hope I meet her again, but more than that I’m grateful for a nice dream.

I recently found a copy of The Last Unicorn being tossed out at a library! The coincidental timing of the worker pulling it from a box right in front of me was magical. I have yet to read it as I still need to finish my friend’s book, but I am very very Very excited!

I know unicorns in modern media are kind of regulated to cutsie, MLP, rainbow plastic toys, or shitting rainbows, 'lets go to candy mountain' but man. I WISH more fantasy media would put them in unironically. There is so much symbolic and narrative potential in a creature that is, depending on your mythology:
A guardian of wild spaces, the embodiment of nature untouched by mankind's industry and greed. Fewer and farther between.
The ideal of "Purity" made manifest, elusive and powerful and hunted for fruitlessly by many a person. To kill. To actually kill. Living symbol of the oh-so-coveted Purity, not treated as a sacred thing to protect, or even predated for food to survive off, but a trophy for knights and lords to boast about.
So absolutely fierce and deadly that no one smart dared to fight it fairly. A gentle maiden had to betray it into resting in her lap so that a man could spear it while its guard was down.
Able to heal any wound no matter how severe - it promised miracles, if you could find one.
A creature who's magic vanished if it was captured or killed. In trying to take control of it, you destroyed it. Some things can only be given by free will, and no amount of personal desire or brute force can change that.

The Pale Horse is done! \0/
i am REALLY happy with how this turned out. and the original has a shimmer i wasn't able to get in the photo.
enjoy!
[image description: a traditional, mixed medium painting of a white horse with long, wavy white hair that touches the ground around its hoof. It’s tail is longer, and trails to the ground and swirls out and back near the legs and hair, framing the horse. It has its left front leg and right back leg up off the ground, and it’s head is turned to look at the viewer. On its face/nose is a large opal jewel with two strands of uneven, smaller opals trailing town either side and dangling under the head. The jewelry piece is a real 3D object atop the canvas. On its hindquarters is a red blanket/cape with slight golden shimmering embroidery. A strand of tiny pearls interspersed with four large, water-like pearls and two small pink tassels, comes from under the blanket and rests on the back in a similar shape to a saddle. The underside of the cape is visible behind the hind legs and as the cape lifts up closer to the viewer, and you can see galaxies and stars in blues, blacks, and purples as the cloudy shapes travel off of the edge of the fabric and slowly disappear into the sky above until it’s a few tiny clouds of color. Behind and below the horse, the environment is a cloudy rusty reddish brown that is darker around the horse’s shadow. End Description]

The unicorn has white fur, light auburn hair with a lighter blonde streak, a golden horn, a black shirt, and blue leggings. Her tail is whip thin and similar to a lion’s tail, it curls around towards the hyena. End ID]
