Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
“I will keep the colour of your eyes until no other in the world remembers your name.” ― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
“Haven’t you ever been in a fairy tale before?” ― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
“Unicorns are not to be forgiven." The magician felt himself growing giddy with jealousy, not only of the touch but of something like a secret that was moving between Molly and the unicorn. "Unicorns are for beginnings," he said, "for innocence and purity, for newness. Unicorns are for young girls." Molly was stroking the unicorn's throat as timidly as though she were blind. She dried her grimy tears on the white mane. "You don't know much about unicorns," she said.”
“The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.”
“I think love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last.”
“I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.”
“As for you and your heart and the things you said and didn't say, she will remember them all when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits.”
“Your name is a golden bell hung in my heart. I would break my body to pieces to call you once by your name.” ― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
“We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream.”

This is it. Their relationship. In two gifs.
It was a preemptive objection.

Newest bear with the print he was designed for (and the first print I lost my mind over- Little Bear’s Cafe). Thinking of calling him Jack after president John F Kennedy.
