the last unicorn

“Unicorns are immortal. It is their nature to live alone in one place: usually a forest where there is a pool clear enough to see themselves--for they are a little vain, knowing themselves to be the most beautiful creatures in all the world, and magic besides.” ― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

I'm falling in love with you. (Regulus)

( from here. - accepting - for @fallesto' Regulus )

The night is not too still. A wind carries the crisp scents of pine and damp soil from a recent rain that had passed over. There are cries of night birds and the rustle of nocturnal beasts, an undisturbed twilight where the moon has risen to watch over its domain of dark and star-strewn canvas.

And here is just two idling beings that seem so similar in their lucid shades and how each may yet see the ends of Eternity one day. Amalthea rarely spurns the company of strangers, whether man or beast or things from Beyond Knowing. She is old and traveled from horizon to horizon, slipping between the thin threads of the world and into different places. In all of these secret spaces and planes steeped in mist or floating in depthless oceans of cloud, she finds the new and the old and the unknown.

In her human guise - if one could call it that, for how etherealness clings to her even now - she turns slightly to peer at Regulus. His quiet confession weighing the air like stones and she wonders, always wonders, what he might be missing within himself to think it wise to love her.

"No," she says softly and with an echo of sorrow, "love for me is folly. I will bring you only emptiness, for I cannot love you in return." Cannot or will not? Is there a difference to her? She had seen firsthand obsession and love tangled, stolen the meaning and happiness from others until they wasted away. Loving her was always folly.

Tell me, ga ne. I love a good gossip.

Send "Tell me" and my muse will tell you 2 truths and 1 lie.

"Well, I suppose if its you, Three-san. As long as you keep this in confidence."

"I did not put those googly eyes on Buggy's hat." "My devil fruit allows me to speak with animals." "I have enough sitting wealth to purchase a small country."

[aamaranthiine]

your blog takes me back to childhood. i love it sm <3

ahh thank you!! the last unicorn and other fantasy stories about unicorns were pretty much my whole teen and young adult years. (who am i kidding, i read them now in my 30s too lol)

so so happy to have you and so many other lovely moots that know and are fond of TLU. like it always surprises and endears me when i get messages about people recognizing amalthea and her source ;; <3

[aamaranthiine]

looks to the right, then to the left. frowns. okay, no one was looking. approaches her slowly. " do you ... uh. like your ears scratched? " meg doesn't know what horses like. usually, it's not her.

A heartbeat of silence and something quizzical to her manners for another breath. "Yes, I suppose so." It had been a long time since anyone had touched her so.. casually? "Are you offering?" The unicorn asks for clarification.

⭐️ — sun, moon, & rising signs, if known ( i love astrology hehe )

from munday symbols~ as requested by @baeuty

real talk, i actually didnt know my moon and rising signs, since i was never really into astrology. so this was a fun little hunt to find the appropriate calculators for them!

i am an aquarius, with a moon sign in aries and i am also ascendant in aquarius. my moon sign does not really resonate with me after reading more into it, but i do find that aquarius does suit me quite well in some aspects.

thank you for sending in, nini!

Several seconds of silence before a short, audible sigh leaves her, "Stars above, I will never understand you. I've never been so thoroughly annoyed and vexed by a single individual in all my days." She throws her hands in the air and says something else, it sounds like a curse, in another language entirely. But then returns to English, "I dont like you, I dont trust you and I certainly would never be loyal to you but yet here I stay, wondering what in the hells Roger saw in you all those years ago."

Sees this normal looking white horse.

Squints.

Tries to, like... feed her an apple.

Another human trying to tempt her with a treat?

She stares at him for several long moments with huge dark eyes that are perhaps too intelligent for a common mare.

And yet, she stretches out her slender neck and very daintily takes the apple out of his hand. Crunching it in noisy contentment for the crisp, sweet taste of the fruit.

[aamaranthiine]

The smuggler grins mischeviously at the unicorn zoan, noting the relationship between her and shanks. "Should I call you mum?" She snickers.

"Ah, no, that does not seem quite appropriate." Thea responds coolly, clearly unamused by whatever Rya found entertaining about her relationship with Shanks.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ / for Mihawk ♥

stars for headcanons! for @seaoftales' Mihawk <3

⭐️ || Oh, these two introverts.. Thea and Mihawk will spend a lot of their quiet time together, having a sense of mutual contentment in silence. But there are times when Mihawk is reading that Thea will ask him to read aloud to her - doesnt really matter what the book is about or where he is progress wise - she just likes to listen to his voice. Of course she'll return the favor and read to him too, or they'll take turns reading passages just to mix up the routine.

⭐️ || Without Mihawk noticing, rare though that is, Thea does stick trinkets and baubles on his hat. Sometimes its a decorative pin or some flowers, maybe rhinestones or googly eyes. She cant help but be a little mischievous towards him now and again. Nevermind her penchant for stealing his hat for the occasional game of 'keep away.'

⭐️ || Mihawk teaches Thea how to dance!!! She used to know a few, remembers only the most basic waltz if she really applies herself but dancing has never really been an activity she participated in. Thea is naturally quite graceful but she does stumble a bit in the learning process, but Mihawk is patient with her, which she is grateful for. They make quite the pair when they're all dressed up for some formal event. :3

Brook: ○○○○○ | ATTRACTION ●○○○○ | AFFECTION ●●○○○ | INTEREST ○○○○○ | LOYALTY ●○○○○ | TRUST

"I've lived for a long time already and yet I find myself still taken by surprise when I meet new people. I appreciate your levity with life, your sense of humor can be really entertaining. Sometimes, you remind me of myself, when I was younger and maybe, I dont know, maybe I need to find that part of me again." It's a weird mix of feelings for sure, and Thea looks forward to fostering more of a friendship with Brook.

⭐️ || Thea really respects Galdino as an artist - even if his penchant for wanting to turn people into sculptures doesnt always sit right with her - but she still seeks him out for help. Although she has spent many years honing her skills to draw - its necessary to make accurate maps after all - she does not have the best grasp of drawing people. Let alone 3d modeling anything like Galdino does. Part of her struggles with capturing facial features and expressions is a mild form of face-blindness due to her immortality. So she seeks him out for pointers, suggestions and criticisms about her own work to try and improve.

⭐️⭐️ For Shanks pls c:

stars for headcanons! for @ravarui's Shanks still accepting c;

⭐️ || Over the course of Shanks and Thea's relationship, she's assimilated (stolen) a handful of his clothing for herself. Shirts and a sash or two mainly, with a particular pair of flowery pants whose pattern she couldnt find anywhere else so she just took 'em. Thea does replace what she takes, and having something of his with her when they are separated is comforting.

⭐️ || I think one of my favorite little headcanons we spoke about is Sprout always bugging Shanks to bring him back seashells, sand dollars or sea glass from the other islands he visits. He learns wire-wrapping from Thea, and makes trinkets out of the prettiest things Shanks brings him. Sprout definitely has a few treasure chests of baubles and souvenirs his dad gave him.

"look what i got," as he's carrying a massive worm about a foot and a half in length inside through the kitchen door. / from s-hawk

an umprompted inbox visit from @seaoftales's s-hawk

"What did you get?"

She doesnt look up immediately, engrossed in precisely measuring out spices for what would be a seasoning blend for dinner. As soon as the measuring spoons are resting on the counter, Thea turns to regard whatever prize the Seraphim had discovered.

Only to visibly flinch at the length of the oversized earthworm he holds proudly, nearly long enough to touch the floor and looking slimy and dirty as any earth-dwelling creature. At the least, disgust isnt apparent on her face, just a sort of discomfort because that definitely did not belong in the house. "Eyas," Thea sighs, using the affectionate term with which she regarded both S-Hawk and Tsukiko, "that critter belongs in the garden, not in the kitchen."

Hands wiped on a towel hanging out of the apron's pocket she wore, the zoan takes a few steps towards her ward and gestures for him to turn around. "Come on, back outside you go, with your new friend too. Worms are vital for the health of the soil in our garden, we shouldnt deprive it of this impressive specimen."

⭐️ || It took a few years for Thea to even consider letting some of her guard down around Crocodile. One of the key turning points being when she discovered he kept bananwani and started spending time with the great beasts herself. Although she would've kept her ability to actually communicate and understand them to herself for awhile, the wani telling her they were treated well and even enjoyed the Warlord's company did soften her a little to him. The wani too, grow rather fond of her since she bribed them with extra treats without Crocodile knowing for a time.

⭐️ || Being something of a mischief maker and likely with the encouragement and help from a young Vivi, Thea would occasionally play silly pranks on Elio. One of her favorites being the day she and the little Princess went around sticking giant googly eyes on the various statues and fixtures around Rain Dinners. That included things in his personal office too.

⭐️ || Crocodile can count himself amongst the very few people in the entire world not affected by Amalthea's alluring aura. She does purposefully keep it mostly dampened using Haki but there is still this bewitching effect she has on others - though for the sand logia, he is spared that tinge of madness she can inspire. This is another reason why she warms up to Elio over time; people who arent compelled to obey or possess her are noteworthy.

⭐️ || Zoro becomes one of the few privileged people to become Thea's nap buddy. Whenever they happen to cross paths for longer than a day, she will gladly curl up beside or on top of him whenever and where-ever he settles down for a nap. It's usually that she uses him as a pillow, but he's welcome to lay his head on her lap or stomach if the mood strikes. There's something to be said about her willingness to doze out in the open as long as Zoro is with her.
