After visiting several "clothes without gender" sites, I'm forced to conclude that I'm still too tall to be non-binary.

I want to share it with my spouse, and that'll give me a chance to watch more of the background animation and such.

Plus... I think I need to be in a more relaxed and open state to watch the last two episodes, because I tried to watch this morning and I think I was too distracted to really sink into it.

But I'm definitely watching through it again.

In the second episode, Horse sings about being afraid that by time she makes it home, she'll be unrecognizable to her Rider. That hit me hard, right in the feels, probably again because of Millimax. I nearly cried, and it's only episode two! I feel like this show is calculatedly finding my weak points.

I remember catching glimpses, sometimes whole episodes, of the treacley crap that passed for cartoons aimed at the lucrative and impressionable young "girl" demographic... and actually liking some of them, then later in life growing super jaded about them. Centaurworld really feels like some folks in the same boat decided to go back and express all that jadedness (it's a word, okay?) while digging through for the worthwhile bits and bringing them to the surface where they can be earnest, and that's cutting right through my defenses and I'm glad for it.

I just watched the first episode of "Centaurworld" and compared to my sweet little unicorn Millimax, this protagonist has a story that's... um... well, let's compare:

Differences from Millimax:
• a reasonably normal horse
• whose only name is "Horse"
• and who couldn't even talk
• and had only ever known war and combat and is just fine with that
• loses her companion – her rider – before the adventure even starts
• and winds up in a wholly different place without intending to
• because of an artifact she didn't even know was magic
• because she doesn't even know what magic is
• so her only goal is to return home to violence and such
• because she finds the new place to be unsettlingly cheerful and colorful
• and occupied by a herd of too-friendly centaurs who enjoy carefree lives
• who she has to work to convince to help her
• by singing to them!

Similarities to Millimax:
• she likes apples
• yeah that's pretty much it

Naturally, I gotta see how this plays out.

There's nothing quite like clicking the "Unsubscribe" link on one of many unwanted promotional e-mails from a company I purchased from once, only for my browser's anti-bullshit filter to block it as dangerous.

I'm sure it sucks for them to lose a customer, but they should look on the bright side! They can still sell my info because I don't live in California.
