BREAKS DOWN YOUR DOOR HELLO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THE TAUR AU

why are they taurs!! what societal adaptations do they have!! why is no one suffering from severe back pain!! i would love to hear!!

HELLO I SHOULD BE SLEEPING BUT I FINALLY HAVR THE URGE TO ANSWER THIS SOOOOOU

THEYRE TAURS BC OF MAGIC!!! its a HUGE cop-out but i literally would have spent months thinking abt how taurs would have evolved, creature design, the species and sub-species, culture, etc instead of actually drawing stuff for it so.. we do what must be done yk.

i make up for it in building up how the culture adapted to all this shit but thats coming later- basically in the canon soul eater universe theres an actual witch coven which kind of regulates magic to an extent? and my wife was like: so what if before the witch coven was founded? so basically a rogue witch fucked up a REALLY powerful spell- what it was supposed to do idk yet- and managed to turn the entire world into taurs.

this is what helped fix the huge loophole that was bothering me w/ some taurs being species domesticated by humans bc i was SHITTING myself over the evolution. (fun fact: before this was a taur au, when it was just like 3 naga!crona doodles, i did worldbuild an entire specevo snakepeople universe on the spot for them)

the magics actually really cool because i took a lot of inspiration from all those posts abt it being a narrative force! idk a lot abt the soul eater magic system bc if it got explained it was in the manga which i didnt read lol so im making a lot of it up on the spot BUT: the way taurs FUNCTION 24/7 is entirely metaphysically based on what would be funniest/narratively significant/make a good character arc or SOME SHIT like that. would it be funny to give Crocodile Jim back pain on his way to work? L to jim if it is. (i have to force myself to stop pondering the woes of taur physicians every time bc that is Not Important for my autistic little au STOP THINKING ABOUT-)

this also answers the question of How Is The Species Decided. when the Taurificationing happened species was assigned based on pre existing traits in the human, personality etc, but from then on through birth its kind of decided by a ton of environmental factors (would it be funny if A parent and B parent produced a Z kid, would it make for a cool protag if an A kid was born into an entirely C family, the works) hybrids that dont already exist arent possible obv and a hybrid-species taur can be born to any species parent like everyone else

SOCIETY-WISE.. my au takes place a few centuries or so after the Great Taurification to give the society time to adjust. i have greatly considered seating and sleeping and cross species hygine products but im gonna talk abt this more in another post later bc it includes Art i think & also this is already long af and i cant add readmores on mobile
