Guys do centaurs have to eat both horse food and human food?
Centaur, eating out of a burlap sack of hay like it’s potato chips: So do you guys wanna get Chipotle later?
Centaur: *kneeling on the ground, ripping up bits of grass and eating it*
Nearby horse: *neighs*
Centaur: Well it’s easy for you to bend over, isn’t it?
Horse: *snorts*
Centaur: *through a mouthful of grass* Well goody goody for you, but some of us have two spines.
Human: Hey does somebody want the rest of my burger?
Centaur: Oh I’ll have it. I am starving.
Human: Didn’t you just eat like an entire barrel of hay?
Centaur: *snatches the burger* That was for the horse stomach not the human one. Don’t be racist, Carl.
Centaur: *eating a carrot*
Human: So does stuff like that go through both stomachs or…
Centaur: *pauses mid chew* *swallows hard* Well that’s something else to keep me up at night.
I love the idea that no centaur knows how the hell their body works. Like, no scientist thought about checking out how these man-horses work; their biology or anything else.
They don’t have the best healthcare.
these are all the things we should consider for our Aus don’t you think guys?
Oh dang you’re right.
I have put a little bit of thought into this, such as for sure having two hearts (just one human sized heart certainly wouldn’t be enough) and two sets of lungs (don’t ask me how that works lol) and certainly in the case of my main Centaur/CPS malfunction AU they have a double set of almost every organ, but that could vary by AU.
For the digestive tract I think it would be something like two stomachs, but all the intestines are in the animal part of the body. Also both stomachs would probably be different than a human or normal horse/deer body. They would need to support a human omnivore diet as well as an herbivore diet because grass, leaves, and etc is hard to digest.
All the possibilities for funny, angsty more kinda moments just 10x higher
If I remember correctly both deer and horses eat meat every once in a while cuz you know grass ain’t really that nutritional
Also I don’t know if it’s the same with deer but stomach issues with horses can be deadly if not treated so there’s some angsty stuff
