centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. discuss.
Oh. This. I don’t like this.
#not enough distinct body parts#insects have three#arachnids on the other hand have two#therefore i propose that centaurs are actually spiders hiding a pair of legs somewhere
this is worse
jade how did you manage to make this worse
But centaurs DO have 3 body parts. Insects have head, thorax, and abdomen. Centaurs have a head, a human “thorax”, and a horse “abdomen”.
Instead I propose that insects are arthropod centaurs.

sir that’s my emotional support category structure
The tone of Lord of the Rings changes significantly when you learn that Sauron isn’t his name but an elvish pun on it that basically means “that mother fucker”
especially when you learn that he kept calling himself smth like “Mairon the Admirable” or “Tar-Mairon” (King Excellent), despite all the Middle-Earth calling him “Stinky” (elv. saura -
“foul, evil-smelling, putrid”
).
