#zippermouth

[hypnofantasma-asks-and-doodles]

Hey Juno! I just wanna ask how a zipper-mouth exactly works, I know these are aliens but you are very passionate about giving explanations in what makes them tick. Soo, how does the musculature work to support the zipper-mouth, does the zipper mouth NEED to extend to the base of the neck or can it just reach to around the middle of the neck, (more related to kwaiz jaws in general) could it split in half and act as 2 separate jaws, I am brainrotting so hard and I want answers about zipper-mouths

Zippermouths are a complex mechanism involving several "muscular hooks" chained along a multi-segmented "split" from the neck/throat.

This is how it gets the name, "zippermouth"! Think of the head and neck area of one such individual as having five types of parts; the braincase, the top/static mandible, the bottom mandible (or jaw), the spinal split, and the "mobile" split(s). The two "normal" jaws are almost always free and able to act as jaws, like on a normal vertebrate animal. However, along the edges where the spinal and mobile splits meet, there are dozens, maybe hundreds of tiny muscle hooks that hide behind the lips.

When together, these muscle hooks fit and weave together perfectly to create the throat. The individual has the full ability to then pull them apart, as if simply opening their mouth, and these hooks will then unhook and allow the jaws to open. They tend to open from the jaws down, hence, a "zipper" mouth.

There can be multiple splits, as long as there's at least the main one (the spinal split) that provides strong neck support to hold everything up. The extension of the zipper also doesn't matter, they can go halfway down, fully down, even down across the body to an extent as long as no organs are compromised.

Even with a zippermouth, thanks to the underlaying muscles, zippermouth havers can still smile on their face like you or i!

REALLY quick shitty doodles but i hope these help in some way!

That wasn't hair spray. A real hair spray won't encase you in rubber, turn you into a doll version of yourself or seal your mouth with a zipper. Looks you're in trouble, Rae. Patreon reward for WagglingMermaid Apr 23

ok time to indulge in my hypofantasma brainrot

this is lyjori

tumblr probably tanked the resolution but i guess thats fine

also his pre-brandshock version, i did change the second color of her eyes, yes i didnt color it fully just pretend that it is, ok?

they are based off the chesire cat, eastern dragons, mustelids and old man historians

anygays details!

Sembla: dream

Affiliation: Humanity, he adores her tether and would go against the "end of mission" ritual, taking their tether with them off the planet, to keep their tether alive for as long as possible, if she was even working towards the endgame of the mercy mission, which he is not

Paradigm: Krainian, with Mettoan ancestry

height: 14'3", standing upright(pretty much never, she prefers to just float through the air than using his legs)

pronouns: he/she/they, doesnt really care tbh

occupation: historian/author

design notes: all four tentacle-esc limbs are switchlimbs. they have a zippermouth that goes down to about the middle of her neck. feet are talon-like. tail is often curled up like a chameleon, but he sometimes uses it to grab things. the tips of the horns, tail and(of course) the claws are all kraizenium/vanium, as such the horns and tail are much tougher at the tips(the same hardened tips are present on the switchlimbs, just a lot smaller). she wears silver reading glasses

important facts: brand is inside of ears. tether is perrin tophage. tanja is #6969ff. amplifier is the library[F-6-S-43-LIB-8736]

trivia: her name isnt based on anything, and "lie" and "jaw being the first 2 parts of his name was a coincidence

Holy Water - Zippermouth

He's been tempestuous for days, still steaming and raw from the shifting of water into fire. He lashes out at anyone who stares at him too long, and today's no different. Instead of thunder, there is smoke and ash.

Orange eyes narrow as they make contact with the other's, fangs bared. He's ready to fight with the way they all look at him.

"My imperfections scare you, I can see it in your eyes..."

Ravage

Chiltonwalk.Temp by Graham Kartna [ makes me think about walking/stalking but in a cat-like way. idk how else to describe it tbh. ]

Moonsetter [ i cant associate many songs with lyrics to Ravage, just very creature to me. i like that moonsetter is bouncy, reminds me the way a cat moves. ]

Seashore by the Regrettes [with your specific portrayal]

Deadlock

Necromancin Dancin by Bear Ghost [ note: delusional. also note: he likes killing]

Turbo Killer by Carpenter Brut [ Its a song that starts unassuming and gets more intense as it goes. Reminds me of a struggle, a fight for freedom ]

What do they know? by MSI

Drift

Boss by Little Simz [ i have a clear view of this in my head but I genuinely dont know how to pass it on. Just like. frustration. growing up in a difficult situation. being bad to become good. Having acomplishments dismissed because of who he was. list goes on.]

The Angry River by The Hat ft. father John Misty [ This song sounds religious to me. idk how to properly explain that. a sad prayer. ]
