Idea: orchard harvester saddle. More of a standing platform with a scooter handlebar for the rider where the centaur can hand things up and down. (playing Farming Simulator is making me crave more peaceful/agricultural world building; there's already so much Warlike WB around, it needs some balance)
(also, eat like a horse vs eat like a bird, horse metab is high efficiency but a lot of it just due to net size, imagine that efficiency applied to refined grains and breads. Centaur diets would be less-per-weight than humans, although not necessarily by much due to the metabolic needs of sapient brain and foretorso)
Ohhhh I absolutely love this and absolutely think it should be a thing. I've been thinking more about the inherent benefits of centaurs in an agrarian society and more and more the borders of the Merchant city has been expanding outward towards the edge of Rider territory with enormous matriarchal farm towns that feed most of the surrounding societies so this would fit right in to that kind of lifestyle! And sounds so useful! One doing the moving and loadbearing, one doing the climbing and picking.
And I agree, war shapes societies undeniably but so many worldbuilders forget that trade, craft and industry shape cultures and societies just as much! It's definitely a topic i could GO OFF about haha, I have major exports and interrelated trade agreements drawn up between ALL my current societies 😁
(also absolutely, the use of refined grains and bread was a huge part of my initial thoughts about how centaurs could survive feeding that big horse body with comparatively small/limited human teeth. The efficiency of processed grain and grass fibers would be SO necessary to their digestion and overall survival!)

man. even after spending a month bracing myself for it, and making sure I was well-informed and prepared to stand my ground if my hunch turned out to be correct, it sure didn't feel great getting confirmation that my mom has been uncritically guzzling all kinds of pro-zionist propaganda like water and has made herself nigh impervious to any and all factual information 💀💀💀

Nepeta’s sprite complete! I loved working with the stylization of this base sprite. The blocky colors and weighty linework helped it run the smoothest of all the edits i’ve done so far.
To make interlinking the posts cleaner, I’m going to start using my progress post as a base. That way I don’t end up sticking a dozen links onto the end of each new one.
Check it out here! [X]

knowing that most complex life forms are host to a teeming multitude of various life forms by design and actually each their own fully unique microbiome is simultaneously one of the most breathtaking and disgusting facts i have ever known

I know the whole point of quirks is that they're extraordinary powers with whatever drawbacks make for the best story but I like making things complicated so I'm just going to ignore that. shouldn't all of bakugo's sweat be nitroglycerin? do you think he ever accidentally explodes stuff if that's the case? did mt. lady ever destroy a building in the process of discovering/mastering her quirk? is there quirk insurance for accidents like that? how are people whose quirks manifest in "atypical" bodies received by society? and how the FUCK does momo's quirk work

It’s so jarring witnessing how the trans masculine community is rife with innumerable arguments on what experiences are and aren’t “correct”… but in the intersex community, that sort of talk is few and far between.
They’re two entirely different groups—with some overlap because of people like me who are both intersex and trans—so that contrast is to be expected, but it’s still baffling to see so much unnecessary, endosexist language from endosex trans guys.

Oh! Do you all want to know my crackiest timeline idea. I think the bit at the end of htn when gideon is having cpr is actually near the end of atn after they've resurrected her properly and she's seeing alecto because alecto is actually there
