do worker class centaurs have the ability to reproduce? if so, what would happen if someone other than the matriarch got pregnant?
They are not meaningfully physically different than reproductively active centaurs, the hierarchy is mostly socially enforced. Female centaurs have a very slow estrus cycle by default, and are only actually capable of becoming pregnant about once a year, when they grow long maternal feathers on their rump. Getting pregnant routinely speeds that cycle up to several times a year.
Centaurs in the worker group who get pregnant tend to either be ousted from the clan to start their own (can be done on purpose with the blessing of the matriarch), or cull their young shortly after birth (if they didn’t get permission, they’d probably be expected to do this). Depending on local custom, larva are generally not considered people and culling is acceptable until after pupation, or until after they start speaking at around 7-8 months. The matriarch may also “prune” their litters in case of undesired pregnancy or lower population capacity in their clan. From a human perspective this probably sounds rather brutal, but when you have six kids at a time, pregnancies are so short they might go unnoticed until birth, and the 3 inch long pink jellybeans all grow up to be ~700 kilo apex predators, well…
Anonymous asked: Bip, do YOU have a music preference? :)
Another eccentric A.I. form of… music? Temporal decoration? Is huge files of recursive self-deleting code they repeatedly download for the apparent aesthetic entertainment value.
I started drawing a reference for Talita’s work gear (a pressurized exosuit and Fall Arrest System harness for working on scaffolding) but then got distracted and started drawing her in cute little dresses instead. She has a semi-official reference now, I guess, though I usually draw her a little more muscular than this, lol.

That reminds me is there a reason talita is so jacked. like is it because of where she grew up or dietary factors or is she just built different. Apologies if you've already answered this cause if you did I forgor
Talita body builds for fun. She’s ripped because she wants to be
Her low BMI is because a lot of the food she eats is boring/samey and she views eating mostly as a utilitarian chore, and she’s very active (see above)

Even though saipents in rtts can't eat other saipents food directly, do they still try to adapt dishs/cuisines for other saipents?
Sure. It’s like making a cake in the shape of a bowl of fruit though. Imitation with different ingredients has its limits. People in the Patreon server keep trying to figure out how they could make those silk cheese knots in broth and like, call me when you figure out how to make cheese that doesn’t melt in soup and is more fibrous than celery
yes it's not the same thing and idk if they'd survive in warm soup but when I saw Talita eating knots of something called cheese I immediately thought "omg korbáčiky"
Oh this is so cool. I want to put it in my mouth
That looks amazing, and also I hadn't realized the broth was *hot*. I'd just assumed it was a cool broth xD
Anonymous asked: Idrisah, what could be considered the most well know planet with life that doesn’t have a sophont?
There’s also a handful of planets that show evidence of having had life in their past, but it went extinct after planetary conditions became too harsh to sustain it.
MoonFanged asked: Brownie and Pinkie, what were your childhoods like? What’s your relationships with your parents and twins?
Growling is a distressed noise for bug ferrets, not an aggressive signal.
Anonymous asked: Hey Gillie, how do you and Sirawit talk to one another? Avian hands don’t exactly have the right number of fingers for human sign language, so do you guys pass notes, or have you made up your own thing for communication?
I swear Gillie and Bip actually like each other, they just express this via mutual bullying.
Anonymous asked: Pinkie and Brownie, do you have a favorite myth/legend/cultural story? If so what is it?
This religious belief has lead to bug ferrets investing deeply in terraforming and interstellar wormhole technology. They have a much, much larger territory than other sophonts.
Anonymous asked: For Idrisah and Gillie: Avians can be pretty homophobic, right? So do you ever have any trouble with them when they see that you’re in a same sex relationship? Like refusing to hire you or something? Or do they not care?
Year-round relationships are weird for all avians. “Contractual” monogamy with financial dependence (or co-dependence) is legally a form of prostitution in the Dominion of Tiiliit.
is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags
How has this comic made such a groundbreaking cultural impact without getting over 40k notes

It's also interesting how many times I've told someone that I'm not trans, I'm intersex and technically cis, and then they turn on this sort of "I'm talking to an idiot who doesn't know anything about complex gender shit" baby mode
As if being intersex and starting to grow a beard as an eleven year old little girl didn't force me to develop complex thoughts and ideas and opinions on gender and sex
As if I'm not in my thirties now and have been out of the intersex closet for almost five years and it took years of work to even accept my intersex body
As if I'm not a woman who has intentionally passed as a man for my own safety. For years. In Texas. And lived with the discomfort and dysphoria of hating being perceived as male despite needing to for my safety
But yeah. I don't know shit about gender, please be condescending to me and treat me like an idiot bc you don't know anything about intersex people or our experiences
