I'm late to doing the thing but I finally did it

The random recurring background ladybugtaur (who even showed up in Wammawink's backstory) was all I could think of for the red spot

[thebeingmerf]

This country is going downhill so fast man I need the whaletaur shaman to help a girl out

[fragilethingz]

[irregodless]

centaurworld wizard of oz parody where horse and rider land on the beartaur and waterbaby shows up to tell them they need the key to get back home so they steal his house key and run off before she can finish

then the woman shows up pissed they killed her roommate and lost the key to the cave because she lost her spare AGAIN

the tree shamans throw apples at them. judge jacket got confused on which story they were supposed to be doing and thought she was supposed to be the queen of hearts. johnny teatime is the wizard of oz pretending to be the nowhere king

comfortable doug is there. as himself.

Tell me how can you see this scene and not go like "They are in love with each other"

Fragile Things (Reprise) from Netflix's Centaurworld.

The episode 8 and the Whaletaur character in it act as a heavy allegory for suicide and suicidal ideation, but thankfully in this setting the result isn't permanent.

You're not alone!

The show is about a hardened war horse that gets separated from her rider and ends up in a strange new dimension. Her goal is to return to her own world and Rider, so they can end the war together, but she needs the help of the colorful, magical, singing and overall very weird centaurs.

YOU WATCHED CENTAURWORLD?!

YOU USED IT AS AN EXAMPLE IN THE TROPE TALK!!!!

It is my favorite and I require to know your thoughts on it.

It's. Hm

So I think it absolutely accomplished what it set out to do, which means it is a successful work of art. But I think what it was aiming for didn't work for me?

In its efforts to play with centaurworld's ridiculousness versus the gritty nightmare of the "real world", it tonally undercuts almost all of its profound moments and then tries to get profound character moments out of squeeky-toy inflatable cartoon characters. Of the main cast, Horse and Wammawink are basically the only ones who get sufficient development to feel like real characters capable of carrying impactful moments, and the rest of the crew are basically walking punchlines - even speedrunning their respective Tragic Backstories doesn't do much to strengthen them, because in the present of the show they're fundamentally joke characters incapable of emotional subtlety. It kinda feels like if a Looney Tunes episode randomly dropped a flashback to baby Daffy Duck being moses'd into the bullrushes as if that mattered to how he functioned now. Plus, once we start jumping back to the Real World again, it turns out all those characters are also wacky in their own way - lots of very quippy dialogue and self-referential humor. Instead of Horse feeling broadly representative of her world's tone, she feels like the most serious character in the entire show - at least until season 2 where her dialogue starts being 50% fart jokes by volume.

Overall I think I loved what they set up in season 1, but not how they paid it off in season 2. There's the themes they establish in season 1 of how centaurworld has a cartoonifying effect on everyone who comes there, and the way this plays to Horse early on is full on cartoon body horror - a realistic horse slowly and inexorably transforming into a parody of itself. I thought that was a fascinating way to frame it, and it was nightmarish to contemplate! It comes to a really strong head in the Whaletaur Shaman episode when her friends seem to finally realize how much she's been struggling and suffering and how, despite it looking like a big joke to everyone, it's profoundly unfunny to her. But while she gets a nice emotional resolution at the end of that episode, the underlying horror is never addressed again. She still seems unhappy with her new cartoon body, but the transformations are from this point forward framed as uncomplicated positives that everybody thinks are funny.

It's purposefully blending comedy and horror together, but the execution feels like the disparate ingredients are hindering each other's effectiveness. The horror stuff rarely gets sufficient gravity and is just left as Hey Look Horrifying Implications, and the jokes are often undermined by all the seriousness left lying around. It's a flavor combination that doesn't work for me.

And then the stuff with the Deertaur and the Princess is incredibly interesting and profound and tragic, and I don't understand why it's happening in the same show as everything else?

Also, this is a minor nitpick, but the musical numbers were astounding in the first season but seemed to experience some sort of weird categorical downgrade in season 2. All the solid numbers were reprises from season 1.

Centaurworld was doing something very much on purpose, and I just don't think I got what that something was.

Noble Zoroark dichotomy

>honestly a p chill noble. Just wants to help people. Offers them a "haven" as a zoroark.

>drawback to that haven is Noble Zoroark wants to take revenge on those who were wrongfully treated or murdiddlyurdered

>they take over the being w the strong attachment for a time to seek out the one that hurt them while the wronged one resides within their body, resting and being "protected"

>genuinely thinks it's fine. They're helping people. Sure, people are dying, but those people deserved it! They're just protecting people who have been hurt.

>Just like w the Whaletaur Shaman, Noble Zoroark is flawed but they mean well!

I don't know how to explain it but for some reason you remind me of the whaletaur shaman in Centaurworld?? I genuinely have no idea how to convey this but you are just connected in my head. Maybe it has something to do with the song she sings. Idk. Anyway ily bye

I have never seen centaurworld and I just looked up who that is and now im a little eensy weensy bit scared

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

that was an open invitation, by the way; PLEASE send in any talking/intelligent whale characters you know, i will never be satisfied. Furry, anthro, feral, minor character, major character, i dont care. Book, cartoon, anime, webcomic, fanfic, no judgements here.

Before it comes in, yes, I know Bubbie and I know Whaletaur Shaman.
