Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

listen its about the last unicorn being fundamentally no different from the harpy and feeling more compassion for her than she does the trapped animals or the humans trapped by circumstance. it's about haggard grabbing the unicorn only once she has become human enough for him to drag her down and realise her eyes are empty. it's about schmendrick and the magic that lives in him more than he wields it, it's about "never run from anything immortal, it attracts their attention" while walking slowly from an unspeakable horror devouring an old woman, it's about "how dare you come to me now, when I am this?". it's about the unicorns staying in the water until they can't anymore, until the castle crumbles and the one unicorn who is different from the others now - she lowers her horn and she digs her hooves in and she stands her ground for a dear, dead boy. it's about the trade of immortality between schmendrick and the unicorn, it's about stories needing to be told, it's about lir loving the unicorn enough to know that she cannot stay with him, and to let her would be to do her a disservice.
it's about "your name is a golden bell hung in my heart. i would tear myself to pieces to call you once by your name." it's about regret.
(it's also about little 5 year old me renting the movie from the library whenever i could and watching it on loop for hours. it's about just how much this story has shaped me and my understanding of storytelling.)

Round 3: Match 2 of 16
Why they deserve to be the ultimate wizard according to YOU:
Will:
Vanquished (so far): Rupert Giles, Mickey Mouse
"Look at his cute little hat!"
"He's a fashion icon and we love him. Address him by his full name. Will the Wise"
"Will the wise was such a certifiable slay that’s that”
“he is my sweet cheese, my rotten soldier, my good time boy”
“everyone’s soooo jealous because Will’s hat is pointier than theirs and their robes aren’t even breathable”
Schmendrick:
Vanquished (so far): Petrosilius Zwackelmann, Merlin (Shrek 3)
"He's so babygirl he deserves it"
"Schmendrick is the wizard of all wizards"
"He became a court jester to help out his unicorn bestie who doesn't even like him. He watched an old lady get eaten by a harpy and copes with alcohol"
"Vote for the kitten in a wet cardboard box"
“He's not "the ultimate", he's just so bad in order to make something work, he has to tell magic to do whatever it wants”
