He couldn't really happen because he's... not... real. Does your confusion also extend to ghosts and zombies? Because that's the same thing really.

Also unicorns. They're scary as shit and thankfully not real.

I mean, it's fine to not be afraid of things that aren't real. Goodness knows there are far more scary real things, like taxes and armed gunmen. However, people who do fear the unreal, the untrue, aren't faking it. They just have different fears.

Also, at least for me, it's nice to be scared by something I know logically can't happen. That makes if safe, in a way. I can have my fear in the moment but when I want to go to sleep at night I'm not going to be kept up worrying.

[cassandraoftroy]

I assumed OP meant they found it implausible, and thus weren't scared by it, while they might be scared of something they knew wasn't real but had more verisimilitude or was less ridiculous. Which I get -- there are some not-real things that I find too nonsensical to be scared of, and some that seem plausible enough that no amount of rationally knowing they don't exist will help.

[forgottenjester]

Oh, I guess I just think differently because I don't have that problem with imaginary beings. Huh. Good to know. That's for explaining there's a difference.

[(Anonymous)]

You're afraid of unicorns?

[forgottenjester]

If they're written the way I like? Yes.

[(Anonymous)]

Whoa! How does this work? I am so intrigued!

[forgottenjester]

Unicorn are psychotic, uncaring creatures who use their good names to lure unsuspecting virgins into their domain. Everyone thinks they're sweet, innocent, weak but in actuality they're killing machines who feast on virgins to sustain their long life.

Something like that.

[sarillia]

Huh. So there may be an audience for that story I keep meaning to write after all.

[(Anonymous)]

Doooo iiiiiit. I would totally read it.

[forgottenjester]

It's an idea I like that I see around every so often. There's an audience or I wouldn't see it at all.

[elialshadowpine]

YESSS.

[(Anonymous)]

O.O

...


THAT IS SO AWESOME.

[forgottenjester]

You haven't come across the idea before?

[(Anonymous)]

No! I am clearly deprived.

[forgottenjester]

Oh! Well, I'm happy to be of service.

[darkmanifest]

I once read a story where a unicorn was a carnivorous predator with an appearance and voice that was incredibly beautiful. Ever since, I can only think of unicorns how you describe, using beauty to lure their prey. And I imagine them like this picture, which is actually a unicorn killer, but I like it better as a unicorn itself.

[forgottenjester]

That story sounds cool! What was it?

Also, the picture's not working for me for some reason.

[darkmanifest]

Sorry, hope this works better.

Sword and Sorceress 16, the short story "Changed" by Lisa Deason. Can't believe I actually found it, lol.

[forgottenjester]

Oh snap, that looks rad.

Thank you! I will try to see if my local library has it.

You're so terrific.

[blunderbuss]

... AWESOME

So they're like sirens/mermaids, using their beauty to enchant people away to their deaths? That is so cooooool.

[forgottenjester]

Yes it is. :)

Some do. Some just look monsterous but still have a good name to use as a mask. It depends on what the specific writer wants.

[(Anonymous)]

You should check out Diana Peterfreund's Killer Unicorns series! It's not exactly what you described, but unicorns are straight-up murderous and the only people who can hunt them are virgins.

[forgottenjester]

That sounds super cool. Thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

Unicorns probably would fucking gore you, thinking you're after their horn or some magic shit, when you're just minding your own business, trying to go on a nice walk.

Fucking asshole horses.

[forgottenjester]

Right? Horn right through the gut. You're dead and they have to put "unicorn attack" on your gravestone. I would say you'd never live it down but...
