Andrias's end kinda gave me a little deja vu...

Ok so it's pretty clear that animation style is used to portray not just what world characters come from/are in but what they feel most connected to. Horse only transforms into a more cartoonish body once she starts to accept centaurworld as her home and starts to think in a more centaurworld way.

The woman still looks like she's from the human world after decades of living in centaurworld because she has refused to adopt a mindset that allows her to truly become part of centaurworld.

I think the most interesting way that this difference is used is that the elktaur looked like he was from the human world even before he split himself apart. His body was more angular and he seemed to have more definition than a regular centaur. In a way, this is showing us that the elktaur would have been much more suited to living in the human world as he was - this being the whole point of the story and of the woman telling him she could have loved him as he was too.

Idk I just rewatched the show and I might have already talked about this but it just seemed very clear to me that everything the elktaur did was just working around a problem that had a much simpler answer than he was willing to admit.

I can't describe how much I needed a story about how hating yourself and assuming you can't be loved ultimately results in nothing good and causing harm to others

(I added translation in alt description. This is the first time I do this thing so I hope I made it right 👉👈. Also. Maybe I'll make a reblog with translation written in frames themselves but not now)

I really wanted to make this crossover. I mean like.. LOOK AT THEM🥺🤲💕💞

Watched all of Centaurworld while recovering from having emergency appendix removal, and honestly the show was weird enough that I had to google characters after I was off pain meds to make sure the show wasn't a product of said pain meds.

But I loved the show, and the villain was fantastic. 10/10

Both a version with text plus a slight color shift effect, and without either.

“You okay?”

Nah, I’m thinking about the elktaur from Centaurworld again 😞

#he just RESONATED with me on a deep and terrible level OKAY?? #i saw a piece of myself there and i hated and loved it all at once #i would have ended the world for you if you'd let me #the rift workers work is NEVER DONE #centaurworld #the elktaur

So I binged Centaurworld and have spent the last week processing and need to get it out of my system because I havent seen anyone else with this take -

I find it weird that the crimes of the General and Elk are laid at the feet of the Elktaur. After the split, the Elktaur no longer existed; the Elk and General may have each encompassed a half of who he was, but became separate entities by splitting.

The Elk and General were of the Elktaur, but weren't themselves the Elktaur. It's entirely possible I'm digging too deep into what was meant to be a Y7 kids show, but it really bugged me because intention, potential, and action aren't the same things. The Elktaur may have always had the potential to become what the Elk and General did, but he didn't commit any of the actions. Because he no longer existed. We can argue about intentions all day long without getting anywhere; partly because the show never really got into that aspect, but mostly because, in the end, what matters is action. You can intend to cause hurt without ever actually doing so - intention and potential do not make one evil/ a criminal/ etc.

Like, if I clone myself and that clone goes on to become an interdimensional war criminal, am I supposed to be punished as well? Of course not - the copy was me, until it wasn't.

This is a classic Mind-Body Problem and fits the scenario around the Elktaur - can his two component parts really be considered to be a single entity? But if they actually were a single entity, none of this would be happening at all. If we brought a whole version of the Elktaur to stand before his components, would he also be considered part of that conglomerate?

Is one not the sum of their experiences? How then, can two beings with very different experiences be said to be the same? Isn't that why, post-unification, the Elktaur has two voices?

Just to be clear, I'm totally on board with the actual events of the ending - I think killing the guy was a mercy, but that's a different discussion - but I find the reasoning to be questionable. I blame Netflix and thier pattern of canceling shows too early for the writing team not being able to delve further into some really interesting philosophical conundrums surrounding the plot. I did enjoy the show overall, but the Elktaur and his pieces were by far the most interesting thing going on. I totally understand that the juxtaposition of wacky and serious was 100% the point, but that plot thread was simply too good - it made everything else feel like a distraction 😂
