Alice: I'm tired of being a horse. Nara: Do like this and you can be a unicorn! Alice: Ew, unicorns are like elves and fairies! Nara: You don't like them? Alice: I hate things that use magic to be cute. It's so not fair. Nara: JUMP!
Unicorns traditionally have unearthly beauty, but they’re also powerful, dangerous, ferocious beasts. That horn ain’t just for show.
Their sad decline into cuteness and rainbows is probably the result of their common depiction in medieval art (tapestries, manuscripts) as laying their heads in the laps of virginal young women, to whom they are irresistably drawn and by whom they can be tamed.
Metaphorically, the scenario might be…ummm…“romantic”, but it’s decidedly not “cute.”
“I used to think it was a terrible thing that life was so unfair. Then I thought, ‘what if life were fair, and all of the terrible things that happen to us came because we really deserved them?’ Now I take great comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe.”
You know, Alice, some kids employ the services of a highly talented artist to be cute, while the rest of us never had that advantage. Now that’s not fair!!
