Option 3 is just the front legs and the entire back hanging out and the artist didn't dare draw it 😂

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Either option isn't very practical, the hands can't reach the back legs to slip them on. Therefore I posit that any piece of clothing for a centaur must be put on from the top, like a shirt or a jacket. To cover the legs you'd have to use what basically amounts to a shaped blanket. Perhaps the front legs could have sleeves that you can zip up, but the back legs would have to make do with just the blanket since you can't reach.

Exactly! Much like dressing up actual horses.

That said, I think your post still counts as a vote for the "Donald Duck" option. /jk

The centaur could surely find something for putting on pants at Aubesians & Such over on 57th.

Simple question that answers this for me:

Where is the centaur's junk? That's where the button-fly goes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed, but another question follows. If the junk is behind does it mean centaurs can have babies with horses? Where do centaurs come from? I know the official story, but really.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh man, how do his arms reach it

Also, they still make button fly jeans?

Love knows no race

Or isn't that a race horse?

Would have been even better if it didn't look like the one on the left was speaking. I like the idea of the reader deciding which one they're more comfortable with and assuming they're the one talking.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why don't you ever see a centaur with four appendages? Like the first one would make more sense if the arms were the front legs and he was walking on his hands, and the neck was normal length.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But that's not a centaur. That's a satyr

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, a satyr walks upright and had goat hooves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I find your mix of present and past tense disturbing. Makes it sound like something happened to the hooves..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cuz centaurs are heavy as hecc, they couldn't walk on those soft little hands. XD

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think their hands would toughen up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Option 2 would require a zipper at the back and is arguably more of a jumpsuit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I had no idea TMCM was still a thing!

I would not complain if you posted these daily wink wink

The left one because he is gesticulating, has the mouth open and doesn't look ridiculous

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks pretty ridiculous to me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like something the right guy would say...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No. The one on the left looks ridiculous!

You can tell by the way it is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for clarification!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The problem would be solved if they could just accept each other

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The answer is obviously 2 pairs of pants with a bare horsey midriff

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Two pairs of pants obviously.
