I think I’ve seen other people bring this up before, but the connection between the General and the Nowhere King kinda makes me rethink the events of The Rift Part 2, where Rider almost kills the NWK. How was the General affected by that?

Like, do you think he was just. going about his day, then all of a sudden, he just gets this massive stab wound that almost takes his life right then and there? Then, after a short while, it slowly heals and closes over as if it was never there? Do you think he would have been surprised by that happening, or did he figure that it was only a matter of time before someone opened the Rift and found the NWK?

How traumatizing that must have been - to almost violently die out of nowhere, even though no one attacked him directly… combining that with the sense of dread he must have felt, realizing that as powerful as his other half is, even he’s not invincible, and someone could feasibly kill them both without even realizing it.

NO!! You don't fucking understand. Horse had always put her duties before her friendships, for the entirety of season one she had put her duty to Rider before the herd, but now. Now her duty is to the herd. To Centaurworld, but most importantly, to The War.

Horse chose her duty to Rider over the herd, and now she's choosing her duty to The War over Rider.

I just finished Season 1 and I am inconsolable.

I LOVE HOW THE NOWHERE KING IS WRITTEN.

the title says it all!

but lemme go more in depth. centaurworld spoilers under the cut.

OK. so let me get started. basically where it starts is only being mentioned by name maybe TWICE before the season finale? and you forget all about it by the time you get there, due to the shows Wacky Antics and what not… but hes never truly elaborated upon? which i really like? its just a really vague lullaby that sounds really nice and then you hear the lyrics and ur like "Oh Yeah Ok i guess." and then you get to the rift, horse and rider meet up and for like 2 seconds ur like "HOORAY!" and then the GOOP starts dripping and ur like "oh nah." and then one of the hardest villain designs in fiction just APPEARS? and hes IMMEDIATELY on their ass about the key. standard villain affair after that, but he gets WAY more interesting later. trust. something that rlly sticks out to me abt the rift pt 1 and 2 is the line of "i intended to spare you all." which IM PRETTY SURE I DIDNT HALLUCINATE BUT STILL. thats just so????? What did he mean by that. also i like how when the woman appears, he IMMEDIATELY kneels and says "i never stopped thinking about you." we LOVE foreshadowing.

and then she DOES end up stabbing him, just not fatally. he escapes to the human world after they "smash his skull" and "kill him", while they all head to centaurworld. so far Yeah I Guess It ain't much but it does set up something later.

after this, in season 2, we're introduced to the general (He will be important.)

hes not rn but he will be. anywho, the nowhere king goes back to the human world, and starts amassing more of his army. he begins doing some Crazy Ass Shit fusing animals together to make super minotaurs, and just. villain affair yeah.

his story doesnt really pick up until the last episode, where horse uses her backstory magic to see whats inside of him. and as much as she sees, its just a black void.. til she does something and.

WHAT THE FUCK. normal ass elk in his brain ig?

so he introduces himself, and comments on how similar him and horse really are. horse asks wheres the nowhere king and hes like "oh. thats me. im a part of him." and then he gets hit with the "nowhere king is nothing but evil and you seem really nice!!! what do you mean youre a part of him?"

and then HERE WE FUCKING GO.

im doing this chronologically in order of timeframe when it all happened, not in timeframe of the show.

so its revealed that he USED TO BE A CENTAUR. particularly an elktaur, who was a mechanic who worked on the rift.

^ look at him.

and he kind of HATES it. he wishes he wasnt a centaur because as humans travel in and out of centaurworld, they always have to make some passing remark about how centaurs are seen as lesser than humans, to the point where he Literally Just Shoves someone through the portal to get them to stfu which. That was so fucking real of him. not to mention he literally just fixed an interdimensional portal from bugging out which ungrateful??????????? wtf u couldve died?????

then he meets this human princess.

standard love at first sight affair. he IMMEDIATELY becomes flustered as soon as shes like "we'll tell him the reason we were able to get back at all." while smiling at him.

(hi elktaur.)

ANYWHO she then leaves centaurworld, and throws a party for him at the human world for. Securing the safe travels of everyone between dimensions.

this booboo ass cake.

she then points out how hes missing his antlers, and rather has a hat on. to which he replies, "they fell off!" Oh we'll get to that

do they know how to eat a fucking cake. Sorry im getting too offtopic anyways

he then presents her with 2/6 key pieces, to which she fuses them together and makes one whole. she comments on how shes learned a lot about magic from being in centaurworld, and how you need to respect "both sides" which is going to be a MAJOR theme for these two.

he does feel, that the love isn't real though, or that it wouldnt work, due to the way he was. which was, a centaur. And we will get to what he did dont you worry

this is where we find out what happened to those antlers of his.

HE FUCKING SAWED THEM OFF. to appear more human.

he then tests the magic of the key by taking a turnip to the rift, and firing some sort of blast at it. and what hes resulted with is

it being separated into 2 things. Naturally you can see where this is going so ill cut to the chase. he blasts it at himself, hoping hell lose the side of him thats a beast, and hell be fully human, but then..

THATS RIGHT. THE FUCKING GENERAL IS THE "HUMAN HALF" OF HIM. when i saw this shit for the first time i YELLED.

the elk then proceeded to have a perfectly understandable panic attack. to which horse tries to comfort him, only going to another memory.

the elk and general confront eachother, with the elk saying "we made a mistake." and the general just absentmindedly going "yeah i shouldve invited you to the wedding lol" because he DID in fact marry the princess.

he tries to convince the other half of himself to undo the mistake theyve made, saying "we didnt even try. she couldve loved us how we were." only to be followed with, "no, she loves ME." and he straight up STARTS DROWNING THE ELK????

fortunately, it doesnt end up working.

theyre still connected. whatever affects one, affects the other. meaning that he dies if he kills the elk. so what does he do instead? well, captures him of course.

and its never shown on screen, but its stated he put him in the castles deepest dungeon, a windowless cell, which he couldnt even STAND in, for a decade.

by the time he escapes he. is a LITTLE screwed in the head. understandably. so he thinks to make his own family, by fusing humans and beasts.

he's made the first minotaur.

and this scene is especially rough because you can just SEE his slow decline into the nowhere king.

this is accentuated with him telling himself "i don't belong anywhere."

the self hatred fucking GOT him.

and he just starts to look worse and worse every time he spins that key.

Oh hey look at that hes starting to look kinda familiar

THERE WE AREEEEEEE!!!!!!

then we're brought to a scene where the princess takes the key out. to which she reality checks the FUCK out of the general.

"whatre you doing? put that thing down! havent you seen what it's done to him?"

"you locked him away in the dungeons. did you think there would be no effect?"

the princess then shatters the key, being thrown into centaurworld, with the general being thrown into the human world, and the elk -- now, nowhere king, being locked in the rift, as both doors close.

then stuff happens w rider and horse ig but this aint abt them sorry whats important is that the general tries to kill rider for shooting at the nowhere king

the princess, then appears and the general tries to counsel with her. "i had to do it! i had to do it so i could stay with you!

(images stop here bc i put too many above)

the princess then SNAPS and has her horse kick general off a cliff, to which the nowhere king follows him down.

the princess also follows them down, and uses the key, saying "let me see you how you were. one last time."

she tells him she would have loved him the way he was, after all.

and then.. she brings back the key scepter, and starts SINGING A REPRISE OF THE LULLABY FROM ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING, AS SHE WINDS UP AND..

ending the tale of the elk and the general, for good.

in conclusion, i am REALLY obsessed with the character and how they handled the nowhere king. the feeling of being a hopeless romantic, but having that feeling that youd NEVER be accepted, so fundamentally changing yourself and ripping yourself in half, ending up in fucking up both you, and the one you just wanted to be with, for good. not to mention the allegories for internalized racism, self-hatred, and dissociation, and GOD man hes just so fucking well written. this entire story is so well written and heartfelt, and its just. so surprising for a joke with such. Ehhh humor at points that theres this story thats so. heartfelt and dealt with so much care in the final episode thats been built on over the course of the series.

tl;dr hopeless romantic who gets racially profiled splits himself in half. shocked to learn he hurt his lover as well and gets killed for it.

tl;dr tl;dr elktaur rolls "Worst Idea Ever". asked to leave mortal plane.

#centaurworld #nowhere king #elktaur #elk #general #god hes SO fucking cool.#i needed a way to speak abt him #ill add the other images later im tired #i just spent an hour writing this #spoilers

Round 1 of 8, Group 4 of 8

propaganda and summaries are under the cut (May include spoilers)

Centaurworld: 2.08 The Last Lullaby

Horse leaps into the Nowhere King's mind and learns his haunting backstory. Meanwhile, Rider and the herd come up with a plan.

This single episode packs in a Massive soap opera level drama of love and betrayal that ultimately severed two connected worlds, plunging one into war and the other into ignorance. All while singing Amazing songs

Mad Men: 1.13 The Wheel

Don and Betty Draper have an argument when it becomes apparent that he doesn't want to spend Thanksgiving with her family and she plans on going only with the children. He also learns some information about his brother Adam. Pete Campbell confirms that he has landed an account from his father-in-law for a new skin care product called Clearasil. He objects however when Don gives the account to Peggy Olson, whom he has just promoted to junior copywriter. Peggy proves her mettle in auditions for the weight loss device but later is feeling unwell and goes to the hospital where she is given some shocking news. Don comes up with a brilliant presentation for Kodak on a new wheel-like storage device for a slide projector that he dubs The Carousel.

it may be from the first season, don's final pitch for the kodak carousel is one of the most remembered pitches on one of the most acclaimed tv shows of its time. mad men is also one of the most tv shows of all time thanks to its constant commentary on the effects advertising and media have on our lives. it serves as excellent commentary on how capitalism has refined advertising to become our new american mythos, as well as meta-commentary on what tv shows like mad men self-consciously mythologize what many remember as "the good old days" of the united states.

Centaurworld Theory Post

hi so this post contains major spoilers for like. the entirety of centaurworld. i highly recommend anyone who hasn’t watched it already takes some time to do so. it’s made me insane.

I don’t make meta posts, generally, so bear with me as this may be unorganized.

so rider is the general and woman’s daughter. or, she was meant to be at some point in the writing process. This is me making a wild swing in the dark based on my thought process while watching--nothing is confirmed.

To begin with--I was stricken immediately upon seeing The General for the first time with the thought, “is that her dad?“ And then she started talking to him as a stranger. She had no idea who he was. There are only so many “named” humans in Centaurworld, and it feels...significant, that the two of them bear such a close resemblance.

Rider’s skin is darker than General’s or Woman’s, but her hair and eye color are very similar to her would-be father’s. Plus she has his eyebrow shape.

Rider is, as far as we know, an orphan. Her parents died in the war.

That would be a convenient cover-up for the fact that General discarded her when his wife disappeared, no longer interested in playing house without her present--instead he can play the role of a big, strong, serious man, a leader, without being bogged down by a fragile little thing like a child.

My boyfriend and I have considered that he may not have done this had she looked more like her mom--but as it happens, she looks much more like her father, and as the show establishes, deep down, he doesn’t like himself very much at all.

The fact that Rider becomes a soldier, chasing General’s approval, her own father’s approval, is a cruel twist of fate. She wants to be taken seriously. Wants to be seen as someone serious and important.

The first thing General does when meeting her, of course, is undermine that. It’s not personal, he’s just a dick. I don’t think he immediately recognized her as his daughter. He probably doesn’t think of her much at all--he seems very involved with himself and thoughts of Woman.

But...he seems to take a liking to her. Seems to warm up to her--not in the supportive, fatherly way he should, but he sees a malleable pawn who wants his approval, and he takes advantage of that. Rider would have died for General before even meeting him, and he knows he can make use of that loyalty.

Still--at some point he does recognize that. Before the final battle, I think the reveal would have come--that he’s figured it out, that he’s recognized her, and to seal that loyalty she has in him, he’s going to tell her. That he had a daughter once. That he had to give her up for adoption because of the war, because with the life he leads, it wouldn’t have been safe. He probably would have fed her some line about how fitting it is that after all these years, she found her way to him. She followed in his footsteps and grew to be a soldier he’s proud to call his daughter.

Why the fuck else would Rider look at her best friend--for so long, her only friend--and tell her, “You’re just a horse.“

Why else would she say that if not because she was blinded by a connection she was convinced was stronger, more meaningful, than that? Sure, General is condescending about centaurs and animals like horses from the get-go, and there could be some bleedover from that attitude, since Rider has been around him so much in season 2.

But it makes so much more sense to me that her faith in Horse would falter in the face of General, who she looks up to so much, who she now knows is her father.

Her father, who--when Rider is willing to risk everything to kill the Nowhere King--finally sacrifices that perfect pawn without a thought. Without hesitation.

She looks so much like him, after all--and he’s discarded parts of himself before. It’s easy to do it again.

General stabs Rider without hesitation or remorse, and leaves her there.

And then Woman arrives.

Woman arrives, too late, and sees Rider on the ground. She recognizes her immediately. Knows General did this.

And that’s what pushes her to finally, finally end him. She couldn’t before. And she arrived now, resolved to fix that--but seeing their daughter on the ground, dead over a war that never should have happened, is the final straw.

I don’t know why Woman doesn’t try to establish any sort of relationship with Rider after this. Maybe she feels she doesn’t have a right. Maybe she thinks she’d be a poor mother, now. Maybe she thinks Rider doesn’t need one.

But here’s something my boyfriend (@chaosflight, by the way <3) pointed out:

Rider’s hair tints a dark pinkish purple when she gets comfortable in Centaurworld. It’s not light, like her mother’s, but it’s still a fantastical hue.

And it does make her look just a bit less like her father. More like an individual. Her own person, finally.

*pops head up from vent*

I Don’t Know Him is a vague precursor to the General and the Nowhere King’s relations by showcasing two individuals who are embittered towards one another and have a shared history that they would much rather bury altogether - by extension making Zulius and Splendib a semi-foil to the latter two, as they were able to mend their relationship, while the human and elk’s relations became unsalvageable (though, of course, both cases’ relations are different, with Z and S being bitter exes and the General and Nowhere King being two halves of the same person).

Sometimes it really hits me that in the season one finale, the Woman and the Nowhere King literally recited their vows to each other, like whoever decided that would happen is a sick fuck and I love it.
