Ouch
Whilst travelling the fabled lands of Overseasia, I made many erratic notes of Things To Find Out More About. One such note reads “the symbolism of the narwhal horn?!“, made whilst wandering the Melancholia art exhibition in Paris.
Rigorous google-based research has since informed me that the narwhal horn gained its value by being detached and flogged off as an alicorn, a genuine unicorn horn. It was attributed to all sorts of wonderment: not least phallic glory, but also things like curing epilepsy and whitening teeth. And was also, presumably, linked to the perverse power and magic of ye olde melancolie. Somehow.
I hereby challenge the author of Spicy Pony Fantasy #1 to do something with this information.

Comparing to what I’ve read about this before, it sounds absolutely impressing. I’m an old internet user, and have read a lot about this kind of stuff, but what I read here today is absolutely different.
