I'm a little curious, how much of Talita's (or centaurs' in general) head and neck is fluff?

Just looking how deep into the fuzz her eyeglass strap sinks when she wears them kinda reminds me of owls, and it got me wondering.

(I remember seeing baby great gray owls at a zoo once. They were at the stage where the facial feather disc had already mostly grown in, but the rest of the head was still sparce baby fluff, and it made them look like they were missing the entire head behind the face. I'm kinda imagining a similar effect.)

Yeah, the back of a centaur's head is mostly air.

The long mane feathers mask the effect but the only significant organ back there is the vocal lungs, which can puff out the back of the neck even further. Centaurs visibly inhale into their neck before speaking (the effect is especially dramatic before shouting). Inflation is driven by the contraction of a muscle that connects a cartilaginous "diaphragm" to the rear crest of the skull. This lifts the diaphragm perpendicular to the neck and draws air into the lungs. I animated centaur respiration three years ago but the design of the vocal lungs has changed a little since then.... though the lungs still connect to massive sinuses behind the eyes.

Talita's glasses have a strap that sits between the notch created by the back of her skull and the vocal lung diagram. They also have some rubber grippy bands sewn into to keep it from sliding up her mane feathers. It works well enough.

Surprise OC ask! What's Kirsch's individual opinions on each of the Glamrocks?

Ooh hell yeah hell yeah, I love OC asks!! Okay, so!

I imagine Kirsch and Freddy would be pretty close. Kirsch is programmed to be easy to talk to and a good listener - part of being a barista. And I think Freddy would like having someone to talk to about everything going on. I think Kirsch would appreciate his calm, laidback vibes, too. He's always a welcome guest in her cafe.

Kirsch and Chica would be really great friends, with Chica stopping by often to chat or to try and steal some snacks. Kirsch's programming kinda absolutely forbids her from giving away free food (FazCo is a hellish corporation) but sometimes, after all the guests are gone for the day, she kinda. y'know. might leave some food out on the counter and if it HAPPENS to go missing while her back is turned, then whoopsie daisy!

Kirsch would think Roxy is just the absolute coolest. And I'd imagine Roxy would really like the ego boost of having someone genuinely look up to her. So the two would definitely hang out a lot. Kirsch is a bit of a homebody, not usually leaving the cafe too often, but to go hang out with Roxy? Absolutely.

I think Kirsch and Monty would kinda have a more strained relationship. Kirsch is real sensitive to loud noises and messes in her cafe, and, well. Monty is the king of loud noises and messes. So he is very much not allowed inside. But otherwise, the two just like pushing each others' buttons. They like butting heads and have fun with it. They're frenemies for sure.

And as for Bonnie... I don't think Kirsch ever got the chance to meet him. She was brought in some time after he got destroyed. FazCo wanted to try experimenting with specialized animatronics to run some of their food joints in the Plex, starting with her. But she's really curious about him. I think she wonders if they might have been friends. From how highly Freddy talks about him, she's rather sure they would have been...
