Added 2021-10-09 14:21:36 +0000 UTCHere, have another one while we're at it.
This is six years after this comic, Talita is 15. The early teens were a low point in her life.

2021-10-11 05:16:26 +0000 UTCAw sad baby talita :( centaurs expressing grief by shivering+chattering their teeth is really interesting though! Is it just how their bodies process overwhelming emotion? Snapping her jaw shut with frustration at not being able to control the chattering is so painfully relatable. (Also, is the buzzing the environment/air around her reacting to her infrasonic?)

2021-10-10 05:07:00 +0000 UTCI didn’t notice the badge on my first read either. I’m curious about the ID badge’s context. Is it related to the foster care house? Or is that just where she keeps her ID for convenience rather than in a wallet that she might have trouble getting a card out of?

2021-10-10 00:11:48 +0000 UTCI keep coming back to this, just to appreciate the details and expressiveness of it all, and it took me this long to notice her id badge and the adorable critter hanging from it.

2021-10-09 19:57:24 +0000 UTCI think I mentioned that in a comic several years ago, but it's pretty outdated. This is a typical centaur stress response, it's hard-baked into her in a way that a lot of her emotional range of expression isn't.

2021-10-09 19:56:47 +0000 UTCOh, poor Talita :'( I remember you mentioned before that she "cries" like a human- would this be an unusual distress display for a homeplanet centaur?
