SO I DREW SOME BASE/CORE LOOKS/REDESIGNS OF THE ALIEN MUSIC MEN AND i have some extra lore tidbits
So all their limbs are double-segmented - On the immobiles (left), they no longer have digigrade back legs and now have the same limbs all the way down. Also, I have to applaud them for giving me the idea on how I could make them look coincidentally "human-ish" to still pass off as Music Men - facial discs!
Both their ears are now on their cheeks and have the appearance of DJ's cheeks! accompanied by a facial disc that directs soundwaves down to their tympanums, and with the configuration, they've got a music-man-y appearance. Got the idea from owls since for this same reason they kind of have a very flat-faced appearance!
However, I don't know about the nose. It's not for smell, I would imagine they smell through a completely different way (their antennae, which i was on the fence on actually giving but i will now). I gave the comids a nose like the immobiles for the reason that the comids and immobiles should look more alike but as for how it got there in the first place I have no clue. Maybe it makes them hot? OOH wait what if it helps with making calls
Which, speaking of calls, they actually are called Music Men in canon because of their complicated tracheas - I imagine the reason for it is during the interception where the now-extinct ancestors of the music men were resurrecting their planet, they were homesick for the world pre-extinction, one of the things being their equivalent to birdsong. Their world was, unnervingly, silent, and at a time when they were not at the top of the foodchain, it only reminded them further that death is near. So alongside everything else, they gave the comids and immobiles alike the craziest natural acoustics they could give. They don't exactly have genders - Their "man" is any living thing, and seperate themselves as the "music men."
Also, their homesickness is a tenant in a lot of the music men's religions/values because a big thing is that they have a lot of reverence and protection for any fauna or flora that has remained since before their worldwide intervention - conservation is holy to them because animals are living relics and it's partially why they are so fascinated with us. We are the survivors of an extinction that didn't have an intervention like they did and they kind of wanna stick by our side because of it.

Started watching tristamp and right off the bat its much different than 98 and I haven't read the manga (yet) so I can't compare that but from what posts I've seen it's also quite different. and y'know that's fine but something I just can't forgive is what they did to the powerplants. like what happened to my giant ass spooky lightbulb orb. ? why did they smallify them. into cylinders. so cruel

For someone who dresses (or tries to dress) like a Monster high character you'd never guess how much I like being around trees and shit
But as cool as I look😼
I am a safety hazard.
It's been almost a year since I've started really going to the forest, not regularly but whenever I can and TO THIS DAY there is not one time where I haven't like almost died--
I'm already tall and fucking- lanky, I literally am a tree considering my hair is green and curly- like- like i look like bush
I never plan to go to the forest I just end up going and there is not one time where I wasn't wearing platform boots- I SWEAR
Literally everytime I go to the forest I'm wearing platform boots AND I FALL EVERY TIME CUS THE GROUND IS UNEVEN AND THERE ARE EXPOSED TREE ROOTS
I'm already tall add that to being like 4 inches off the ground, that fall hurts
Again I don't ever plan these foresty outtings, they just happen, everytime I go it just so happens that I'm wearing platform boots- I hate it here😣
I SWEAR IT'S ONLY A COINCIDENCE
Love shouldn't hurt, I love the forest but the forest hurts me🤕🤕
