you can say "chimoora" instead of "cow of tailed snake" if you want. its a good pun.​

directive for all artists: make more anti-car propaganda. make your modern slice-of-life furry stories and worlds be ones where the car has been phased out or never existed at all. why sit around designing ways to fit tails and taurs into cars, when you could simply decide that when The TF Wave hit everyone finally decided to trash the stupid things and rework their cities to be livable for people? "because it's fun creative and worldbuilding exercise to imagine how the mechanics of these th-" draft up some taur-compatible light rail seating mfer. show me how bikes and buses and trolleys could be adapted to fit wildly varying body types. or come up with some new furry-specific transit method nobody's thought of before! the car is a prison for both your body and mind and it's time to cast off your shackles

ok yes look i know, everybody loves the taur transport, we all want to get on or in one, i realize this, i want to as well. but im trying to look at the big picture here, if a city's public transit infrastructure is entirely reliant on having enough of a certain type of person who's willing to carry others and walk miles and miles every single day to meet demand then that's a real fine balance you're trying to walk. and what of taurs who need to get around themselves, and don't want to or aren't able to trek all the way across town on foot?* a multi-pronged approach that serves everybody is the way we're gonna get a truly robust furry fantasy transit system

...also somebody who does enjoy designing stuff purpose-built for non-human bodies probably isn't gonna be very satisfied with "instead of finding a way to fit a tail in a car just make everyone ride taurs" as an alternative. which was really the main thing i was thinking about and the rest of this is retroactive justification. but still


*now i know what some of you are going to say. "just stack the taurs!" but you start doing that and before you know it you're gonna have a Throne of the Gods situation on your hand

so like yeah fair enough basically no downsides here

This is interesting to think about for me because my OC setting where such worldbuilding is applicable intentionally straddles between (having a hard time finding eloquent words) "oh this is nice" things and "oh my god why is it like this" things. So like, it thematically might have cars, but in a disparaging way and as a source of frustration.

But also I am extremely a mark for coming up with fun alternative infrastructure too, so... it might not have cars for long anyway.
