Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 02, 2013
Transcript:
Lord Splendid Humility: I heard these silly unicorns were planning this "intervention" and using me as an excuse. And I could not have that. I LIKE that your best friend is a mere human child. It displays a kind of... well... Marigold: "Splendid humility?" Lord Splendid Humility: That is mine Get your own.

I like Phoebe with her hair down. Shes gonna be a Heartbreaker one day. Marigold, its the others who need Intervention not you.

So, really, no unicornâs noticed that âLord Splendid Humilityâ is apparently small enough to fit into a trash can? (Or, for that matter, a small bush from the previous storyline?) Compared to all the other unicorns who are all at least Marigold-sized?
Still wondering how Marigold is able to swoon at his withers when no oneâs ever actually seen him beyond his horn⊠:)

Youâre exactly right: thereâs no humility in calling Phoebe a âmereâ anything. Kind of irked me when LSH said it. Itâs only cute & funny when Marigold makes her little jabs because thatâs who she is and thatâs how she sees things.

The word âmereâ is not an insult, just a description. Websterâs definition: â1. nothing more or other than; only. 2. unmixed; pure; unqualified; absolute.âThat sounds like a perfectly accurate description of Phoebe to me.There has been an intervention of the intervention.Marigold needs to find her own version of humility, splendid has already been taken. She is still working on it.

Sounds like all Unicorns feel like they are above humans. but LSH sounds more like Lord Selfish Characteristic. (couldnât think of an H word) He DOES NOT want any one to be the trait he is known for. Kind of like if Dr. Who got in to a fight with Doc Brown over who had the exclusive rights of time travel.

What does that mean male unicorn?

I actually applauded LSHâs statement. Yes it is a bit gruff but it shows that he (Iâm assuming his gender) is humble, but also has guts. He will stand up for whatâs right when the time comes, and that takes real courage and strenght.
Although he needs to give Marigold, and Pheobe more praise. After all, thereâs something very rare with those two. Not all of us hairless apes have a unicorn mare as a best friend. We must get the 2nd best with horses.

Ite easy to assume that the others just donât understand cross species friendship. Of corse, I could be wrongâŠ

Donât see any unicorn accent marks around âhumanâ or âewwww Man!â. .Without hearing the timbre and volumes on the syllables, Iâm reading original intent as a compliment to both. The childlike always is superior to the childish whatever the age.
