lmk if this made u her knee
Okay, I'm just gonna say this once, because it's late and I'm dead tired and I genuinely like the Tumblr friendships I've developed in here – as well as this community – and this is all giving me major anxiety.
You don't have any say in who or what a person likes. It's not your thing? Cool, block and move on. Just don't send hate to that person or make them feel bad for liking something that you don't.
It's none of your business. Mind your business. Let people enjoy what they enjoy, regardless if you approve of it or not.
You sending anon hate and being a dick about it won't make you a better person.
I know there’s this myth that getting harassed online is supposed to be less traumatizing than getting harassed irl, but like. no, it isn’t.
a lot of times the safe spaces we carve out for ourselves occur online (especially common for queer & neurodiverse folks). for many of us, it becomes one of our few options to socialize in a way that feels safe and good. that space becomes as special and intimate as any physical community.
and when that space gets violated by trolls, by bullies, or just by confused and frustrated people who are encouraged to attack first and check facts later–these acts are not inherently less violent or traumatizing than things that occur in our “real” lives. when we are part of a community, and we are attacked by members of that community–that is a harrowing experience, in any form.

how do the centaurs sleep? and how do they stretch after a good sleep?

Ok this is one I’ve been wanting to cover for a while and my cooldown sketches got out of hand, so buckle up and enjoy the picturebook!
The easiest options is exactly what you think, the flop. In a home, thick carpets or tatami-like mats would provide at least some sort of cushion for the horse-half and various sized cushions and pillows to lift and support the top half. And they CAN sleep standing up, like horses, but it does require both a special harness/corset and practice. And it’s not very comfortable for anything deeper than a doze or catnap for most, so it’s mostly reserved for bad situations, naps, or guard duty.
Most common are recliners, or ‘hammocks’. Easy to fold and carry for cultures on the move, or make fancy for the city-folk they are probably the most ubiquitous of centaur furniture. A simple adjustable A-frame supporting some sort of flexible fabric-ish sheet for the top half to lean against and sleep. Usually paired with some sort of large blanket or padding on the ground to lay the horse-half on!
When you don’t have no fancy recliners, your herd will do! The preferred sleeping method of closely bonded herds is to simply rest on your buddies cushy backside! Roaming bands can often form long chains of sleeping centaurs with the unlucky first taur either on guard duty, sleeping sprawled, or with the group’s only hammock.
Mix and match to your character and herd’s personal preference!
Also stretchies!
Omg these are delightful and add so much inspiration to my little centaur culture ideas.
Also, these sketches? So well done. I love them.
I AM FUCKING SOBBING THIS IS SO GOD DAMNED BEAUTIFUL
