One of my pieces for @fragile-things-zine! If you missed preorders, don't worry! You can still pick up a digital pack, and leftover sales will be opening on 1st September, keep an eye on the store for that.
After I finished watching Centaurworld, I came up with a handful of essay questions one could apply to the show.
Posting them here for posterity. (They are spoiler-free. Feel free to answer one (or more) if you'd like.)
1. In the last episode, Elk claims he and Horse are the same. What evidence is there to support his claim? What evidence is there to refute it?
2. Do you think the final choice the Woman made at the end was the right one? Why or why not?
3. Discuss the various elements of modern culture and/or society, both good and bad, as reflected by least one of the following centaur groups: Bird-taurs, Centaurs (TM), Mole-taurs, Cat-taurs, Cold-taurs.
4. Use at least three of the characters listed below to discuss ways people try to attain comfortableness. Be sure to address the effectiveness of their technique. Characters: Ched, Comfortable Doug, Elk, Gebbrey, General, Glendale, Horse, Sunfish Merguy, Tree Shamans, Wamawink, Whale Shaman, Zulius
5. How might an adult utilize a show like Centaurworld to discuss one or more of the following topics with an audience under the age of 12? Be sure to reference specific scenes from the show. Topics: Depression, Suicide, Trauma, Loss, Self-Acceptance, Conflict Avoidance, Conflict-Seeking Behavior, Unhealthy Internalization of External Expectations, Boundaries, Recognizing and Respecting the Struggles Others Have While Still Respecting Yourself

If I were Bendy, I'd be screaming too - Comfortable Doug is the scariest character in Centaurworld, including the Nowhere King... Especially in season two as Flat Dallas... uh!
I love Centaurworld. And I must say that I really had a fantastic time making this picture - of which, of course, the main part which I gave the most time (and this is not a joke) is the amazing flora of this world. However, the shading in the serial is strange, so I didn't stick to it strictly - but these pastel colours and their combinations... I needed something like that, pleasing to the eye in my current state.
If anyone doesn't know the series, I highly recommend it. It's great. Although the second season was a bit worse (there are a few things that irritate me, e.g. the unnecessarily prolonged death scene of one of the characters), it is still great. And, ah, I'm counting on some spin-offs in this universum. If anyone has watched Centaurworld, please read my thoughts on the plot and its meaning. I'm proud of them.
