Molly pushed him aside and went up to the unicorn, scolding her as though she were a strayed milk cow. "Where have you been?" Before the whiteness and the shining horn, Molly shrank to a shrilling beetle, but this time it was the unicorn's old dark eyes that looked down. "I am here now," she said at last. Molly laughed with her lips flat. "And what good is it to me that you're here now? Where where you twenty years ago, ten years ago? How dare you, how dare you come to me now, when I am this?" With a flap of her hand she summed herself up: barren face, desert eyes, and yellowing heart. "I wish you had never come. Why did you come now?" The tears began to slide down the sides of her nose. The unicorn made no reply, and Schmendrick said, "She is the last. She is the last unicorn in the world." "She would be." Molly sniffed. "It would be the last unicorn in the world to come to Molly Grue." She reached up then to lay her hand on the unicorn's cheek; but both of them flinched a little, and the touch came to rest on on the swift, shivering place under the jaw. Molly said, "It's all right. I forgive you.”

I think about the scene where Molly Grue rages at the last unicorn a normal amount.

Round 1

The Last Unicorn has always been an inspiration to me in my art and storytelling.

I had the chance to meet Jeff Bridges (Prince Lir) and tell him how much I cherish this film.

Here are Prince Lir and Amalthea redrawn in my style. (If she looks familiar, I based my Amalthea on Anna Taylor-Joy.)

I forgot this 1977 Italian release of The Last Unicorn existed:

Why is Amalthea posing like a hiker trying to walk past a grazing cow? Why the bikini? Why does the Red Bull looks like Ferdinand's ginger twin?

It took me too long, but I finally finished The Last Unicorn. I had bought a deluxe edition of the novel which came with an interview and a note from Mister Beagle.

What I didn't expect was the second story that came as an epilogue.

Two Hearts was beautiful, exciting, and the ending of this shorter tale is what finally made me cry.

I felt like a child again reading this book, though I stepped away and kept myself from reading it. I felt like once I read it, the magic of nostalgia would leave. It wouldn't be special to me, anymore. But it was. It truly was.

No, no, listen, don't listen to me, listen. You can find your people if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints. Let nothing you dismay, but don’t be half-safe.

Book 88 of 2024

I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons by Peter Beagle

★★★

Find the author here. Find the book here.

Pages: 275

Genre: Fantasy

Review:

Twas okay. The romance was kinda buried and then shoehorned on at the end. It ended in a way that wasn't super satisfying. Cerise and Robert and Reginald were very lovable, though.

Round 2

About Percy and Annabeth :

It's Percabeth. What else do you need?

"And in the whiteness, of the whiteness, flowering in the tattered water, their bodies arching with the streaked marble hollows of the waves, their manes and tails and the fragile beards of the males burning in the sunlight, their eyes as dark and jeweled as the deep sea—and the shining of the horns, the seashell shining of the horns! The horns came riding in like the rainbow masts of silver ships."

(a scene from The Last Unicorn, and also a custom request from last year’s Kickstarter!)

90% of making art is being in agony over your creations not being on par with the vision you had for it but that other 10% is soooooo blissful and worth it ngl *:ﾟ*｡⋆ฺ(*´◡`)
