So… Unicorn Lovers, check out this manic masterpiece MOONLIGHT SILVER, a “Fantasy Couture Ornament Figurine” created by Nene Thomas. It’s a zebra! It’s a Unicorn! It’s a carousel horse! You know what this stunning symbol of striped beauty says to me? (If you guessed couture, you are right! Actually, it made me kinda confused, but then I dug a little deeper.)
One look at the Nene Thomas website showed me that, firstly, 0206058 people had found her magical realm of fairies, unicorns, and victory before I happened upon her. Sadly, most of the products on her site are sold out! Her seasonal and sensational Wall Plaques are not available. The birch and maple themes make me wonder if this artist is after my wintery Canadian heart. Plus, eagles and horses and fairies and castles and wolves! Maximum Princess!
But do not despair my darlings! There are a number of [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%5Fsb%5Fnoss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dnene%2520thomas%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&tag=dailunic-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957"]Nene Thomas Items[/ame] here, and I’ve noticed more being added all the time. I’m always amazed to find these successful, niche artists… I joke, and then part of me is really encouraged. It’s hard being hilarious and sincere at the same time. Nene Thomas proves you can make a living playing ponies and fairies and moonlight and magic. And that RULES.
Now. Nene is not keeping all of her genius behind shop doors – she has released a number of chapters of her book The Zarryiostrom on her site as well. (Visit count: 37457 at the time of writing.) A prologue, 12 Chapters and some sample art are there for your reading pleasure. The author describes her book:
“The Zarryiostrom” is a sweeping fantasy epic about four kingdoms: warlike Dakkadia, wealthy Illymar, vast Ferralin, and the prize of prizes, the anarchic Badlands.
​
I’m not the only one checking her out. Since I began writing this post, 8 10 others have found a world mystery and shiny pretty fairies and free fantasy fiction.
Now watch this and think about unicorns.

Is there a unakorn cult in SoWal or is this lame spam?

I told you it didn't come out. I have a picture of them from a distance, but you can only see that he had the right body for it.

This work of art, rendered in the purest Danish stacking block portrays a rare phenomenon; rectal propulsion of the Unicorn. While it is commonly understood that a Unicorn may drift upon the breeze, flying under its own willpower, the initial thrust required to leave the ground requires a great deal of wish power. The emissions produced by contact with concentrated magic and the Earth’s atmosphere take the form of a rainbow, and form great arcs, which can be miles high. The curvature of the rainbow prevents even the most intrepid and savvy wizards from triangulating the location of takeoff.

[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsintaosaurus"][/ame]
The Tsintaosaurus is the evolutionary precursor to the Unicorn of today; a Hadrosaur, its most prominent feature is its horn. Legend has it that the wish of a wily Carnotaurus, commonly referred to as the “ahole of the Dinosaur World” made on a Tsingtaosaurus horn led to the KT Extinction 65 million years ago, which wiped out the dinosaurs. A little known fact: Jurassic Park was a real theme park, but the dinosaurs weren’t created from “Dino DNA.” They were wished into existence by an unscrupulous investor, who was later eaten.

There are those of us who understand the desire, nay, the NEED for a variety of Unicorn apparel to get us through the week. If one Unicorn shirt is amazing, then 7 are 49 times as amazing. Well, Unicorns Rock has got *all* of your unicorn t-shirt needs, wants, desires, and wishes. For every shirt you purchase, a wish is granted that will allow the rise of humanity’s next greatest hope for survival.

Look, go buy a damn shirt, unless you’re a wienie.

Wil Wheaton riding a UNICORN PEGASUS KITTEN



As you may know, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil_wheaton"]Wil Wheaton[/ame] is one of the last surviving Eldritch Gods of Yore. This glorious photo is a realistic depiction of him mounted upon a Unicorn variant, battling the Deep Orc John Scalzi for the souls of the damned. Alternately, they are raising money for research into treatments and/or cures for Lupus. A noble cause, gentleman, and one all of us (i.e. just me) at The Daily Unicron support.

This (brought to the author’s attention by DubiousOrigins) represents the sheer diversity of Unicorn lifeforms. This one, as you can see, arose from a sheet of paper in a mystical, yet organic process. It is paper given shape, the shapes of things, the form of something beautiful.

Also, if you are not a virgin, it’ll papercut the hell out of your gonads.
