The unicorn could represent any number of things: herself, her stories, or it could have the more literal meanings that unicorns usually have: purity, goodness, light--innocence abused, in this case. The fact that it is chained seems to mean that innocence is trapped in some form and cannot flee, or that Evil will find it wherever it goes.

The bears are most likely some sort of evil thing, perhaps representing the Trio o' Evil in her mind (Jules and two other writers), or they too could have a more literal meaning. I suspect that they are to represent Tilly's followers. The fact that they are all similar is a subconscious betrayal of her emotions about Tilly’s followers: they are more like a giant, nameless, faceless group than actual people.

The puppeteer could very well be Tilly; her face betrays spite and glee at some heinous act, most likely the manipulation of the bears. As the puppeteer, she could be controlling the bears to do the evil thing to the unicorn. (i.e.: Tilly controls EVERYONE to do evil things and abuse poooor LQ’s innocence).

And the crying girl, I think, represents LQ herself, and how she feels about this whole thing: all she can do is stand by and protest as Tilly forces people to do evil things to good, pure, wooooonderful people and innocent things, but she is subconsciously saying she cannot be arsed to do anything about it (the figure is not screaming and is sitting down—passive gestures). The fact that it is decked out in Zelda-esque fashion reinforces my belief of this.

In short: this picture is a reflection of LQ’s self-image in this whole situation. She sees herself as goodly and wonderful and never in the wrong, watching as mean ol’ Tilly manipulates people to do dreadful things to good people.

Or it could just be a work-in-progress for some story. I’m not a psych major at all; I’m just hypothesizing. I realize it’s a bit of a stretch.
