I cannot let this one gallop past me without climbing aboard.
Of course I mean in the mystical sense, the elegant equine with the scintillating spiral spike atop their forehead, the faithful forever friend to all lonely maidens.
There is also a link to SciFi, courtesy of Blade Runner, the original, where the origami unicorn reveals the truth, that every replicant is really in search of not just life, but freedom.

It never was. And yet such was their love
the pure beast arose; they had cleared the space.
And in the stable of its nothingness
it shook its white mane out and stamped its hoof.
—Don Paterson, “Unicorn”
from Rilke’s “Die Sonette an Orpheus”

...or is it #NationalUnicornDay? I keep seeing both tags.
Have Starflower, then - a shiny unicorn wearing a shiny suit, also by Hornbuckle.
The Internet informs me it is #NationalUnicornDay but doesn't tell me for which nation!
Just to be safe, I'll be making nice with all international unicorns as well
