      This show seems very interesting, I'll have to check it out one day! If you liked Centuarworld, I highly recommend The Black Cauldron [1985 Disney Movie] and the books it was based on: The Chronicles Of Prydain. Granted they both have issues [although Prydain's aren't talked abolut as often], and the ending of the final Prydain book is awful IMO [magic leaves Prydain and Eilonwy is forced to give up her magic, which is horrible and I frankly feel like the Prydain series did a bad job with portraying magic compared to fellow fantasy books like LOTR and Narnia]. Unrelated, but I'd love a lore lite video on Engie Benjy. It's a wholesome British show by Cosgrove Hall [who also made Danger Mouse and Count Duckula] with fun characters [Benjy himself has quite a few sarcastic remarks at times], fun worldbuilding [Cotton Candy Fog in the episode Lost Horizons], and some really unique vehicle designs.

      Athena P, CAN YOU PLEASE DO A CHAOTIC LORE VIDEO? It's a show that was on 4KidsTV. Here's what the show is about: Chaotic tells the tale of a teenage boy named Tom and his friend Kaz. They both play the Chaotic Trading Card/Online Game. Kaz always tries to tell Tom about a secret code to play for real which Tom refuses to believe. While playing online Tom receives the special password. When he enters the password into his game scanner he is transported to a place called Chaotic that is able to take him to another world where the characters, locations and items in the card game came to life.
      There are two parts to the Chaotic world, Chaotic itself and Perim. Chaotic is where the people play an advanced version of the card/online game where they transform into the creatures. The games can be watched via monitor by other players.
      The second part is Perim. In Perim the creatures, locations and items from the game are real. Players from the Chaotic game can teleport into Perim and scan the locations, creatures and items with their scanners, gaining the ability to use them in their games. There are four tribes in Perim. Two tribes, the heroic-looking Overworlders and the demonic-looking Underworlders, have been at war over a great power called the Cothica. Despite their names, there is no definite good and evil tribe, as both have different stories and interpretations of how the war began, with each tribe seeing the other as being evil and the ones who started the conflict. The Danians (insectoid creatures) and Mipedians (reptilian creatures) have since joined the war, turning it into a four-way conflict over the Cothica. It is said that the Mipedians were once united with the Overworlders and the Danians united with the Underworlders. It is still unknown why they separated.
      Both Chaotic and Perim are made up of a mysterious code called the "Chaotic Code". The code is noted for constantly changing in random ways. Thus, it is considered "chaotic." In Perim, the Chaotic Code describes everything. It contains the information for all the creatures, BattleGear, attacks, Mugic, and locations. The Cothica, mentioned above, is the source of all the codes in Perim. The code also describes everything in Chaotic. The BattleDromes, Transporters, and CodeScanners can analyze and/or modify this code for matches, transport, or creation of virtual cards.
      When the players are in Chaotic/Perim, they exist simultaneously on Earth so their daily lives can continue without drawing concern or attention from others. When a Chaotic player leaves Chaotic they become one person again and the Earth version of the player gains the memories of anything they experienced in the Chaotic/Perim world. This is awkward the first time they transport, as their online deck is blocked so that their Chaotic self can use it and their scanner becomes non-functional, causing many people to believe they have broke their scanners until they are re-united with their Chaotic self.
      But also there is Season 2 called Chaotic: M'arillian Invasion and Season 3 called: Chaotic: The Secrets of the Lost City. Season 1 was animated by Bardel Entertainment and Season 2 and 3 were animated by Dong Woo Animation. YOU GOTTA MAKE A LORE VIDEO ABOUT THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!

With some of the other centaurs, being able to look that danger in the face, to heal from old wounds and DEAL with these things without breaking or becoming worse.

    I can imagine horses jealousy is from a pet related Stockholm syndrome. Horse was essentially a pet to rider for, presumably, the majority of her life. This show did a great job at making horse seem like a real person the whole time even though she was a non verbal animal companion a week ago. I think it adds a lot more weight to the "you're just a horse" line because she was literally just a horse.

    • @mewmew6158
      @mewmew6158 5 місяців тому +165

      This! The jealousy makes perfect sense from the angle of pet/companion. I will say though, Rider only having faith that horse could rally the centaurs, but not find real information with her magic says quite a bit about Rider's view of those magical beings (centaurs aren't just talking animals and we know that as the audience). Even if Horse was a regular horse before, she can talk, think critically, and has magic in the moment Rider chooses to doubt her.

    • @Broeckchen
      @Broeckchen 5 місяців тому +27

      I mean, from a human pov yeah. But if you look at how animals tend to experience their connections to humans, they're more like sisters. Found family. Dogs adopt us into their pack, to cats we are members of their colony, and to a horse, Rider is clearly a member of her own herd. The only one. That's her entire family for most of her life. Chances are that Rider raised Horse from a foal up.
      So this must feel like her big sister/mother figure getting a new step sibling/step child and only ever spending time with them. Which is the kind of situation that makes real individuals in the real world very heartbrokenly jealous, too.
      And I think this interpretation makes a lot of sense when you consider that Rider's song is framed as a lullaby in which she takes on a motherly position, as well as how their duet has them call each other their only family.

    • @TobiasFangorIsntCis
      @TobiasFangorIsntCis 5 місяців тому +17

      I think it’s more about Horse’s role being re-filled, though? Horse and Rider weren’t *only* companions, they were also co-workers: Horse would carry Rider into battle. From Horse’s perspective, she’s been replaced, because why would a soldier need more than one horse to ride?

    If one transforms in centaurworld by becoming unburdened, could the opposite be true in the human world? Maybe that's why the elk centaur looks like he's from the human world because he is burdened with something like his role as rift maintenance man or his insecurity of being a centaur.

      i love his character bc it's so rare that you see the concepts of "this villain is sympathetic" and "this villain cannot be redeemed" applied together, usually you only see one or the other. his story is sad, especially so because it _didn't have to be that way,_ if only things had gone just a little differently it all could have been avoided, but it did go that way, and as sad as the nowhere king's story is, it doesn't excuse all the lives he ruined and ended, and now this is the way it has to end. it's absolutely wild how a show with such an amazing, impactful villain is also the same show with a talking giraffe who's farts talk to him, this show gave me tonal whiplash so many times and i loved it.

      Personally I wish Elktaur's death was more painful and drawn out. Have her slowly and repeatedly bludgeon him and beat him to death with each blow to the beat of the Nowhere King lullaby, each blow filled with her pent-up rage of everything he did to her, while in his final moments Elktaur goes from calmly accepting that he deserves death, to pleading for his life in pain and terror as blow after blow lands into him, and at last righr back into pleading for death again from the sheer pain, not just acknowledging that he deserves it but outright begging for it as she has now inflicted him all the pain HE inflicted onto others.

      “Healthy agere representation”
      (Laughs a laugh that would reduce your bones to ash in person who has to deal with age regression irl)
      No. It doesn’t. Healthy agere isn’t forced upon you. It isn’t healthy to be put in a state where you shut down and regress as a last resort to make people understand you not only are hurt but have been hurt for a while.
      And no, when you age regress, people are not kinder to you. They don’t take better care of you. They tell you to stop being so weird and immature and they mock you. They tell you to stop crying like that. They don’t give you space. They make up whatever act of control looks enough like love to an outside audience, so you have to learn to parent yourself when you’re like that. Congratulations if you have a more positive experience with age regression when it happens to you, if it does, but it is a _trauma response._
      Agere doesn’t make you soft and cute and passive. When I regress I’m not having fucking _fun._ I’ve lost jobs because of regressing at work, having to walk the kid home in our big adult body so they didn’t have a meltdown curled in a ball in the dark on the bathroom floor. I didn’t remember why anyone had ever thought it was a good idea to expect me to work an adult’s job. I lost my sense of place and self, and I panicked. Nobody was around to talk to, nobody to check in with in a position of authority with awareness of my medical realities, i did the best I could and it didn’t matter at all, because that kind of shit happening at random outside my control isn’t what any capitalist workplace wants. No, I would not have been somehow safer around other adults in that state if I acted like a silly little kid. My protector alts’ ability to run plans of action, to bargain with the terrified child that _does not want to be there_ and get them out of there regardless of what outside influences prefer them to do, hell even my ability to look big and spooky and competent is better protection for the age regressed alters than letting them be unsupervised around adults who aren’t dealing with agere.
      Not entirely sure what you think age regression is. But please don’t do this.

      My understanding is that there is a clear connection between embracing Centaurworld and becoming "centaurworldified". The Elktaur was a centaur, but looked like someone from the human world, because he didn't feel of Centaurworld. In a throwaway line, it is explained that the woman's purple hair was a byproduct of her spending time in, and clearly embracing, Centaurworld. And Horse's transformation happened right when she started accepting Centuarworld as her new home. Whereas Rider's hair transformation happened when she started connecting with the centaurs. And Stabby's transformation happened when he truly saw Durpleton, a centaur, as his father figure.

    I'm gonna be so fr right now, Whaletaur's song was so hauntingly mellow that I can actually see how she was able to get all of the people in her care (the old town's folk) to come with her willingly. She offered them a release from the suffering they felt whilst shouldering their burdening pains for potentially forever. Her tears aren't her own anymore, those tears belong to the ones she's swallowed to alleviate and vindicate from their suffering. She offered them a way for all of them to leave and for no one to be left behind to remember all of the loss. She fills in that role by being their sole mourner.

    There are no other elktaurs. The Nowhere King/General is the only Elktaur.

I do not believe Human Woman would have wiped out the Elktaurs because she doesn't seem the type to genocide a race for the mistakes of one specimen and The General was focused more on Nowhere King and not even in Centaurworld to wipe out the Elktaurs.

      Yeah, while the nowhere king did kill tons of people I still felt bad for him as he was ultimately four different people. Honestly, I feel like the nowhere king being killed would’ve been more satisfying if it was The Nowhere king form and the general form being killed. Her mentally being able to kill the form that did no harm, but not the forms who actively killed people is pretty messed up. I didn’t want to see a poor love stricken fool die, I wanted to see the selfish general and eldrich monster die. (Also, did she never talk to the general, who she MARRIED, about going back to his og form? Maybe this would’ve been touched on if we had more seasons but with what we had she definitely seemed very knowledgeable in the situation, yet chose to do nothing to try and fix things before they got out of control.) but despite my minor complaints, ultimately I think the show ended well for having to cram a bunch of stuff into one final season, and I’m sure we would’ve had a more nuanced view had the creators been given the ability to show us it.
      Still one of my favorite shows and I’m happy it at least got a proper conclusion.

      Personally I didn’t like it because the person that was killed *wasn’t* the villain. The elktaur produced the villains (the nowhere king and the general) but as the elktaur, he didn’t do anything. If I had to change anything it would be so that she either killed them in the general/nowhere king state, or comforted him as he died of a fatal wound in the elktaur state (as it seemed the general and nowhere king were already dying, it would make sense that when combined the elktaur would still carry those fatal wounds.) I understand having that character die in the end, it fulfills the narrative, but the way he died felt too cruel. Especially since she didn’t really seem to have any real karma regarding her role in all of this (which I think gets overlooked too easily). As Athena mentioned in the video, the woman HAD the chance to kill the nowhere king yet didn’t take it, ultimately causing the deaths of more people. And even BEFORE that point she was guilty as she seemed to know the general and elk both existed, yet she let the general lock away the elk for TEN YEARS before trying to save him. Maybe she didn’t technically do anything bad, but by the same logic neither did the elktaur. For all intents and purposes the elktaur, the elk, the general, and the nowhere king are all separate entities, and I feel like they shouldn’t be punished for a crime a different person committed.
      Of course this is just my two cents. Like I said, I like that the villain died, I agree that too often they get an undeserved redemption ark, but the WAY he died felt unjust considering the way the situation was set up.

      Really wanna see more of the non-marginalized person in the relationship between a marginalized person experiencing open bigotry in their partner’s society, while their partner expects the love they share to make that bigotry disappear, and whose worst punishment by the narrative is to suffer the loss of their marginalized partner for “turning evil out of nowhere” trying to offer their privileged partner a future without consulting them about how they prefer monster love but will not actually do anything about how their partner is treated like a monster by the people they have active political influence and power over, never having their own complicitness in said bigotry as a figure of political power in their society addressed because look! They were never bigoted. And they got SAD! So the marginalized partner is killed by the privileged one, who can finally find someone who accepts their love as a suitable replacement for being treated equally, and who now never has to examine the bigotries of the world they passively made excuses for is what drove their previous partner insane. Wow it was so cool how she stood up for her taur partner in private but just looked embarrassed and stayed quiet when other humans were being openly antagonistic towards him at her own party. It’s not like she was literally the princess or anything. Why would he ever want to destroy the body she cherished therefore rendering the racism he experienced trivial. That was so fucked up of him specifically she wasn’t even involved!

      @@Lucifersfursona a little confused on your rant, but if you’re saying you found the elktaur being killed at the end uncomfortable, I agree. If she was going to kill them/him she should have killed the monsters (the general and the nowhere king) not the innocent guy who did something in the name of love, not knowing that things would end up how they did. I probably would’ve liked her turning them back into the elktaur and comforting him during his death (as he was already half dead from one of the bodies falling off a cliff). OR her killing the General and Nowhere king as separate entities but telling them she would’ve loved them as they originally were. But turning the guy back, meant bringing back a guy who ultimately didn’t do anything just to kill him which feels wrong to me. (Especially since all the Minotaurs are just getting reformed despite also killing hundreds to thousands)
      (And just fyi, I view there being 4 people who made up the “nowhere king”. That being THE nowhere king, The general, the elk, and the elktaur. Just thought I’d clarify in case what I was saying got a little too confusing.)

      “Wow it’s really comedic watching someone force you to age regress otherwise they won’t take you to the hospital, because the aesthetics of it are in the girliepop cartoon world” fucking incredible take
      The term is safe sane and consensual for a reason. I do not give a shit if you tack “platonic” on there. The “forced” part is the issue. That is abuse being shown not just uncritically but being framed as positive and healing because the framing device has already decided that who Phil is without being forced to go along with Durp’s fantasies to survive, is inherently wrong and bad. His overall personality stays the same- the aesthetic fumbling here for a show that built its majority on trying to explore complexities through and despite aesthetic assumptions absolutely dropped its ball here. This shit is not okay and y’all’s reactions to it is a core part of why it isn’t okay.

      I doubt the creators wanted to put that parallel in there, it was just meant to be a funny gag. I mean, stabby doesn't even really age regress in the way that most people think of it. He plays into being durpeltons Son, but he remains with an adult mind the whole show.

    Edit:
    I’d honestly watch the hell out of a direct continuation but for a young adult audience. I know that might sound wack as hell because like… the show is Over or whatever, but I can’t be the only one who wants to watch Horse gain more powers, and she *has* a houseboat now, she can go anywhere she wants. If it had to not be about Horse though, I’d enjoy a spinoff that maybe takes us to each of the Shamans backstories? Honestly a prequel would kill in general, I just want to see more of Centaurworld itself. Before AND after everything that we get to watch. I really like this world and if it were up to me, I wish they had given it a third season, by splitting the second season into two parts and giving us more time in each place, or maybe in between places. Also, yeah, they dropped a LOT of plot lines, it would’ve been so nice to see those wrapped up.

      I’m sorry, but I NEED to infodump about this! So first things first, SPOILER WARNING ⚠️
      I was genuinely so disappointed in Cheri’s character development. Not in the sense that it was badly written, but in the sense that it was such a change in her morals for the worst. Throughout the show, she wanted the best for the other shrunken humans and didn’t want people to be ruled by a tyrant. But then at the end of season 5, she becomes the very tyrant she swore to prevent. It’s really poetic and my jaw was ON THE FLOOR. Now back to the main plot of the show, I’m very interested in the existence of the ex team leader. I really want to see more of him in season 6. I’m also very invested in the Silver cops subplot but I can’t say I have much to say about it. But please if you haven’t seen this show, I beg of you to watch it I love it so much and we need more fan content 😭
