What would the ramifications of having snakes for hair be?
Addendum: If they are poisonous, you are immune to their poison.
Just hair hair or all body hair?
>>43999987
Can you control them?
Dandruff from hell.
>>44000015
This.
Well, for one, you would have a very straight, limp hair whenever it was cold outsise. They'd get more active on hot days and/or if you walked in the sun
Probably snapping at anyone that gets too close depending on how aggressive they are
>>43999998
Venomous, you mean?
>>43999987
Can you control them, or at least stop them from striking out? Will they continue growing?
>>43999998
Being immune to the poison is nice but if the fucking snakes attached to your head are biting you, you still have some problems.
you would always have a cool head.
>>44000000
>>43999987
You would be a gorgon.
>>44000047
Poisonous too, I mean, chances are their circulation is connected with yours.
>>44000049snakebite nipple play, though
>>44000101
I know, right?
Unless you manually control them, you'd have to feed them even if they don't strictly need to eat, just to avoid them cannibalizing each other. And feeding them would take hours due to the care needed to ensure that they all get some food and don't fight over it.
For an idea of what this entails, look up what people have to do to feed two headed snakes and then multiply it by a fucking lot.
>>44000178
>Unless you manually control them, you'd have to feed them even if they don't strictly need to eat, just to avoid them cannibalizing each other
You actually can't feed them. Where would their food even go to? From where would they poop?
>>44000211
Into your head. You'd need to shitpost a lot to relieve the shitty ideas on your mind all the time.
You can give better blowjobs and be entertained by feeding them little bits of mouse
>>43999987
Apparently it causes you to turn people into stone whenever you look at them
>>44000066
that's not how venom glands work anon.
>>44000544
So, you think putting snake blood into your own circulation would turn out fine?
>>44000610
I think his point is that is wholly unrelated to their venom as snakes do not circulate their own venom through their body, which is what you implied when you posted >>44000066
Regardless, you are both being autists because you're autistically defending your improper usage of poisonous and he's being autistic for correcting you when everyone knew what you meant anyway, so shut up both of you.
>>44000847
I didn't post that. I also didn't see any implication of the venom being in their blood there, I thought calling them poisonous in this context was actually valid.

>>43999987
Good luck ever getting a kiss.
Unless you think it still counts when it's a kiss on your other lips.
>>44000610
If they're part of your body it wouldn't be snake blood, it would be your blood.
>>44002401
That's one interpretation. Another would be that they are connected to your bloodstream without being a part of your body. And yet another would be that they aren't connected to your bloodstream in the first place.

The slow creeping loss of self as the cluster of parasitic "snakes" rebuilds your mind while they mature?
Rolled 11 (1d20)
1) If one of the snakes is cut off, two will grow back in its place
2) The snakes are all of one distinct type and breed, and will viciously attack all other snakes
3) The snakes are all of one sex (your own), and will viciously attack anyone of the opposite sex
4) The snakes can spit projectile venom a moderate distance
5) You have limited control over the venom the snakes produce, and can modify it to a number of useful pharmaceutical or recreational mixtures (muscle relaxant, truth serum, hallucinogen)
6) You can only feed through the mouths of the snakes
7) You can only keep down the typical food of the snakes - mice, crickets, small animals, etc. You typically prefer live food.
8) The snakes' bodies and your body are cold-blooded
9) The snakes are actually a parasitic organism that has fused with your own body, with a separate mind.
10) Each of the snake heads has a separate mind. You get a blinding headache during any prolonged argument.
11) The snakes are long and have a lot of muscular power, but their fusion with your nervous system has rendered you paralyzed below the neck.
12) You can pull the snakes out of your scalp seamlessly and use them as weapons.
13) You're actually a type of zombie, kept alive by the snake colony joining with you moments after your death.
14) The snake hair is the larval stage of a hydra whose egg was laid in your head.
15) Each of the snakes has a personality representing one particular emotion.
16) All of your body hair is composed of snakes, not just the hair on your scalp.
17) You only have one snake, but it's a huge constrictor ponytail
18) If you cut off a snake it turns back into a normal hair, but one that's highly poisonous to touch or consume for most humanoids.
19) The snakes are completely charmed by flute music.
20) If all the snakes act in unison, they can seize control of your own body.

Snakes have terrible hearing (it's closer to just picking up vibrations). They react to the flute moving.
>>44003325
These snakes are tapped into your nervous system and can hear through your ears.
>>44000178
I'd assume they're connected to your bloodstream so they get nutrients from your blood.
>>44003325
Wow, even the snake hair of a medusa attached to the head of a human body? That's incredible, I had no idea medusa biology worked like that.
>>44003246
I know I've seen lady gorgons with snek pubes before.
>>44003341
Literally doesn't matter. Most snakes feed on a biological timer, not because they're hungry. Those two headed snakes only "need" to eat from one head to be fed, since they only have one digestive system between them, but will fight over food if they aren't both fed and even if you prevent them from fighting, the one that wasn't fed will drag around the other one while looking for food.
Well for one you would be forbidden from going to school or college unless they were private institutions.
Second, you'd have to find some other way of washing your "hair" since I'm pretty sure snakes are really sensitive to chemicals.
Third, unless you have some form of control over them you'll have a hard time keeping friends because of snake bites.
Fourth, scale dandruff.
Fifth, what happens when they get too long? Are they permanently gone if you get one cut off? How fast do they grow?
Sixth, if they don't require feeding from the snake head, how many extra calories will you have to consume on a daily basis to feed them?
Seventh, You'll be seen as a freak (but Halloween will be awesome for you).
Eighth, in the modern world (or in America) you're likely to either get shot, swarmed by the media, or kidnapped and whisked away to a government laboratory.
>>44003553
I don't think they'd do the kidnapping thing. They've got big enough budgets that they can just pay you to show up and run some tests without any of that potential rioting and/or legal smackdown they'd get if the Supreme Court got wind of it.
>>44003553
>Well for one you would be forbidden from going to school or college unless they were private institutions.
Literally why? Bedel at my college has pet snake, would walk around with it every once in a while when checking campus ground (weather permitting, not now in the winter ofc) and nobody says shit.
For everything else there's always massive afro wig/snake nest.
>>44003553
>or kidnapped and whisked away to a government laboratory.
It's really retarded that so many people believe shit like this.
>>44003635
Yeah. You'd be much more likely to be kidnapped by a private laboratory or maybe just religious crazies.
>>44003629
Because of the third reason. It's fine if you have a pet snake in a purse or something, but 40 snakes attached to your head with little control over their aggression would be such a insurance risk no business would risk it.
>>44003553
Reason nine, nobody would give you a "normal" job.
Reason ten, probably have a hard (or easier) time driving with all those snakes in the way.
Reason eleven, you're a risk to other drivers as a massive distraction so insurance might be harder to find.
>>44000937
It is, albeit archaically. There's been a push amongst newer biologists and internet autists, but as someone who got their zoology bachelor's in the 80s and recently confirmed this from a herpetology PhD who is near retirement, older biologists don't sweat the difference this much. Maybe entomologists did in the past since it's more of an issue for them.

Sure it's also a matter of the way the snakes act. After all, you may not be able to directly control them, but they should be at least somewhat adapted to living with in the situation they're in.
>>44004168
Holy shit, I did. That was not intended.
>>44000015
Would they shed? Maybe you could save up their old leathers and make cordage out of them.

I like 20, but I think 15 and 18 will work better for roleplaying purposes. 16 is well of course and 19 is a cute touch.
>>44004246
Do you think people with long hair regularly shit on that hair?
>>44003711
People put their hair in nets all the time.
You'd just tie them back with three or four heavy nylon or leather bands and get angrily nipped after work every day.
Would get distracting when they get worked up and your ponytail tries to thrash out of its bows...
>>44004293
I feel like they could be pretty well trained, especially when you consider how early you'd start doing it.
>>44004288
Only they're careful. But I would imagine it would be even harder with snake hairs wriggling all over all the time.
>>44004280
If you actually get mileage out of 18 then your game is probably eRPG rather than ERPG, if that makes sense? I would have thought that 5 and 8 would have mileage in ero content, but frankly you should just rewrite the whole thing to better suit that. And add like 80 more things. A random chart can never be too big.

>>44004322
Depends, I'd assume a younger gorgon would have decently well behaved hair, but adolescence would potentially influence the snakes.
Additionally, there's the complex issue of sensory sharing between the snakes and the human; Binding of the snakes may translate to restlessness or frustration of the human.
>>44004344
>then your game is probably eRPG rather than ERPG, if that makes sense?
That's the kind I like.
>I would have thought that 5 and 8 would have mileage in ero content,
You're right about 5 and 8, and 4 and 6 could be good too.
>but frankly you should just rewrite the whole thing to better suit that. And add like 80 more things. A random chart can never be too big.
Agreed. /tg/, can you help out with the medusa chart?
>>44004361
Not really; Women with snakes on her head? Safe as shit. They'd pick you up, interview you and probably let you go after administering amnesiac. They wouldn't give a shit about a person with fancy hair unless you started turning people to stone or seeing the future
>>44004420
That's kind of neat. I've never really had the whim or the wherewithal to seek out that kind of game but the vast majority of ero RP just seems to be meet-and-fuck. If you've got an actual game going just with that element included, props to you.Not trying to be a prude or anything, I actually got into RPing through these really convoluted, explicit, historical things I was a part of for a while
>>43999987
If we're talking realistic medusa here's how I'd imagine it working:
>The snakes aren't literally full snakes just hooked into your head. They are a full part of your body with shared circulatory and nervous systems.
>This means you can feel pain if you accidentally hurt one.
>You can't control them directly, but they don't act like regular snakes. (I.E. No fighting, trying to eat when they lack digestive systems.)
>Snakes are really controlled by your subconscious. They will follow things or people you're subconsciously interested in (for example, if the person you secretly like walks into the room, all the snakes will turn to look and will follow them and will stare until they leave the room)
>If you feel very threatened they will lash out at anything in reach.
>Snakes produce a mildly paralyzing venom that you're mostly immune to. You can get them to inject it at will if you concentrate really hard.
>What they see or smell is added to your perception. Overpowering smells give you a headache.
>They don't like being covered up under hoods or hats and will try to wriggle out.
>They hate being in water and will panic and struggle to keep their heads above water if you submerge yourself.
>As you get older you gain more control over them.
>>44004489
>but the vast majority of ero RP just seems to be meet-and-fuck.
I know. It's tiresome having to wade through that, but it's relatively easy to spot when someone else wants something more too.
>>44004561
I like most of these. In particular, snakes controlled by your subconscious. Your subconscious can be a kind of hivemind, and if individual snakes get killed, you're not really losing a pet.
I'll also make them very fine snakes, not big ones, so they can pass for normal hair easier and don't act so much like a bunch of extra heads.
how would the snakes deal with cold temperatures? do they get to be endothermic because they're attached to a human? is the human pained or otherwise hindered by the cold?
>>44005525
They would be endothermic but extra skin surface means that they would cause you to get colder, faster.
Shaved head would be your best bet, rather than seeping snake shot all over your head, scaring small children, accidentally poisoning people, and so on.
>>44005951
Shaving off snake heads would be like sticking your fingers in to a lawn mower.

>>44004561
I really like all of these, it's pretty much exactly the way I'd do it, but with one addition:
>The snakes only grow to a set length
Because fuck cutting your snakes. Although I'm not sure what the length would be determined by; Age? Will? Something completely different?
>>44006534
I'd assume length would be based mainly on genetic luck-of-the-draw. In a setting with advanced medical science, surgery to adjust it might be possible.
>>44006534
It's probably best to be determined solely by genes. Snakes grow as you do, but stay the same length proportionally as you age. The average person get shoulder length snakes give or take a few inches. Those who wind up at the extreme ends of the bell curve can wind up with 4-foot-long snakes getting into everything and being a general nuisance, or sad little stubby snakes.

That's some pretty fucking advanced medical science, getting some serious Franken Fran vibes from it.
>Genetics
>Proportionally
Both sound like pretty good, very realistic ideas, but are both a little too heavy for me since you would be stuck with your snake length for your entire life even if you might want longer/shorter snakes.
>>44006485
>completely safe but odd paranormal objects are always destroyed, and humans demonstrating any sort of supernatural behavior are killed as a first priority if there isn't anything unique that would merit them getting strapped down in a 'happy room'
No, those are contained as well.

Wouldn't the guys with hair have long snakes too because of the genetics and the fact that cutting your snakes off every 6 months would be really fucking painful
>>44007026
It's a bit of a bleeding of site policy into the fiction, but slightly paranormal humans are always written to be killed off as part of the "no sues" rules.
And you probably missed the document of "minor paranormal objects", most of which were destroyed after it was concluded they were safe, including a rock that can glow like a flashlight and a pencil that writes "help I'm trapped in a pencil" (for the edge value).
>>44007184
Guys would just have a giant anthropomorphic snake head, don't you into sexual dimorphism anon?
>>43999987
You will never be comfortable because you've got reptiles on a mammal body. When it's hot enough for your hair to be happy, it's too hot for your body. When the temperature is right for your body, your hair is cold.
Plus, when you're in bed, you're always laying on a bunch of your head snakes.
>>44007184
Yeah. The only reason guys hair is short is because society makes it ugly for a male to have long hair.
>>43999987
Well for starters, shaving would be incredibly painful, essentially self-mutilation. The ones under your arms and in other areas where the sun doesn't usually shine will probably be very uncomfortable and keep nipping you until you give them space to move around unrestricted. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it.
>>44007396
no no no no no noooo! No snakes in the snizz!!!
>>44007312
I'd imagine that insomnia would be quite common with snake hair people.
>>44007312
One assumes that by being attached, you're not dealing with those issues.
For example, the snakes might actually be endothermic, being attached to your body.
And there's proper ways to lay in bed without it being too uncomfortable, I'm sure. It's entirely possible the snakes have no need to breathe, after all, so laying on top of them with your head might not be anything other than a minor inconvenience, or hell, they may like it.

Would telling a gorgon/other snake-haired creature that you're going to give them a haircut be a credible threat? Would you expect them to accede to your demands if you made that threat?
That would be a really dickish threat to make, though.

>>44009537
Oh, the two-tone gorgon actually works pretty well.
>>43999987
How intelligent are the snakes? Are they independent of, or a part of the "host" body in terms of mentality? Alternatively, are they more like colony organisms? Would a gorgon qualify as a "super-organism", a collection of distinct beings acting under one will?
>>44009577
The snakes are probably not intelligent themselves.
What if they were only longer the older they get, once they reach the average lifespan of a regular snake, they die out only to be replace by a new snake, which of course would be short.
>Snakes are really controlled by your subconscious. They will follow things or people you're subconsciously interested in (for example, if the person you secretly like walks into the room, all the snakes will turn to look and will follow them and will stare until they leave the room)

People can learn to control many functions like heartbeat rate given training (e.g. via biofeedback 機械), so controlling your snakes should be much, much simpler, unless there are some neurological hijinks involved (but then that wouldn't make sense, and what you wrote points to that not being the case), but then it wouldn't work your way anyway. It would be reasonable to have the snakes share their entire neural system with you, which would essentially make them another set of quasi-limbs instead of anything like actual snakes. Also, the snakes would have to be warm-blooded and, really, rewired so much they might not resemble any real snakes much visually.

Actually, snakes with that kind of skull to to not be too dangerous to humans, since that specialized fang is designed more to latching on and injecting veneom into something that is already being eaten, so when humans are bitten its less common for them to get poisoned, and in most species the venom isn't that dangerous.
The exception is spitting cobras, but that's because their inner fang is modified to squirt caustic venom.

I like your idea, though it does raise the question of what the case would be for those of mixed ancestry.
There is one obvious benefit to having several stalk semi-heads: eyes. A gorgon should be able to have as many fields of vision as they have eyes, though snake eyes should give a, what's the word, weaker? image, as is the case with spiders; also, this raises the issue of differences of perception, though I'd say fuck it and have gorgons have what snakes have, perhaps a bit toned down.
>>44011230
Rule number one of making sense of the impossible is to make as few assumptions as possible. There is no reason to assume laws of nature as we know them don't apply to mythical critters apart from what has to be allowed for the critters to be capable of existing in the first place. Occam's Razor is key when speaking about fantasy.

>>44011285
That's a king cobra skull, man, they inject about 400 mg of venom per bite. I read somewhere that it isn't particularly potent, but that's a LOT of it.
I think they're not a big health issue because they prefer to avoid confrontation.
The venom from spitting cobras isn't caustic, you can get sprayed with it and as long as it doesn't reach an open wound or your eyes it won't do shit.
>>44011679
Even if you are obese, you cannot compress yourself much, and then there is applying lethal force to the whole body. You'd be screaming in agony if it were done to you.
>>44011790
Take your hand, relax your opposite forearm, and squeeze it. Notice how the flesh is easily displaced. In fact, it displaces in essentially any direction, making it more compressible than hair under the only definition of compressible that would apply to hair outside a diamond anvil cell.
>>44011946
Hair is compressible in the sense that strands of hair are. Living flesh cannot be compared to hair in such respect, and braiding is more than just compressing, so it would kill the snek and leave it to suffer horribly in its last hours.
>>44011691
It's also the same basic jaw structure of the snake in >>44011203 and its pretty nonvenomous. While snakes with a Proteroglyphous head structure can be venomous, it can be a crap shoot as its designed more for injecting a creature they're trying to hang on to, rather than a quick pump bite like in solenoglyph. Granted I will give you that the former can me more venomous than the latter, its still less convenient/likely for the protero to bite and inject a large creature like a human, than a soleno species like a viper.
>>44012060
I'm still confused about how braiding is compression in the first place. They don't appear to be at all tight or knotted. They're just layered.

I went in with the assumption we're talking about the traditional snake-hair gorgon, not something like MTG's tentacle-head gorgons, So I was looking to keep the appeal of the gorgon, and figure out how it would work more realistically. That said, I'm not opposed to revising my ideas to make even more sense.
I'll concede the snakes being hard to control doesn't make sense, but at the same time, their movements being fully in control doesn't fit with the image of a gorgon I'm sure most people have. For a mostly non-magical being, your hair literally having a mind of its own doesn't really work, but I think still looking like a snake and acting like a snake at least part of the time are key gorgon/medusa elements.
I think it would make sense if they worked in a manner similar to a cat's tail. Consciously, you can do whatever you want with them. However, if you're thinking about other things they'll just go on autopilot running on some primal instincts. I'd imagine by default they'd look around, smell the air, and survey the surroundings, keeping an eye on things of interest or potential threats.
Also, as for warm/cold-blooded, the snakes should be whatever the owner is. Warm-blooded probably makes the most sense.
Hmmm, I'm having trouble finding appropriate non-lewd pictures.

Proteroglyph is the dentition of Elapids (though I don't remember if some of them were opistoglyph), which are pretty much all venomous.

You're talking about separated neural systems, and that's such a clusterfuck it's simpler to just discard the idea rather than trying to make it believable.
> looking like a snake and acting like a snake at least part of the time are key gorgon/medusa elements
I didn't say you can't have that, it's just that such displays would be merely instinctive on your behalf.
> I think it would make sense if they worked in a manner similar to a cat's tail.
That's exactly the analogy I thought of using, but…
> if you're thinking about other things they'll just go on autopilot running on some primal instincts
But is that really the case with cats? We have no tails and we can't know if cats manipulate their tails always on the same level of consciousness they do with the rest of their bodies; I guess I should look for a study on the subject. Well, one way or another, it doesn't refute your point, since subconscious expressions are a thing.
> by default they'd look around, smell the air, and survey the surroundings, keeping an eye on things of interest or potential threats
Now that's more independence that I consider realistic. Still, it's not like you can't do all of that on your own — we human beings already perform the equivalent of such behaviour instinctively — and considering perceptional input they give, you have all the reason to.
> Also, as for warm/cold-blooded, the snakes should be whatever the owner is.
We are talking about human beings, and if you live anywhere far enough from the equator, you should understand just how important it is to not essentially just sleep through the winters.

Site policy says "no "humanesque" SCP"s because a bunch of fuckers were writing their own fap fuel into the register.
The SCP foundation would have no problem with containing safe SCPs of human enough behavior (mostly because "I think she's safe enough to destroy" is an order of magnitude outside necessary rigor)
That's also assuming the SCP foundation gets there at all, because they're a bit busy dealing with corpses with foot long claws butchering anyone who sees their face to care if "snek lady" spends her days writing poetry in a cabin in Holland.
Then again, it's collaborative fiction, what I think is practical and appropriate for the SCP foundation is not only nugatory, but actively irrelevant.
>>44007220
> don't you into sexual dimorphism anon?
We as a species aren't particularly that dimorphic, and we are slowly moving towards being even less so. There is absolutely no reason why snekpeople would have ridiculous levels of sexual dimorphism.
>>44015406
I suppose they might be referencing the general trend in the media towards having male monster-people be more monstrous-looking while the females are blandly sexy-looking.
>>44015406
There's no reason not to have it either.
It's not a particular evolutionary advantage or disadvantage at the societal level, so it comes down to sexual display and preference.
If the snek people like their men (or more likely women) big and scaled, while they like their partner small and smooth, that's where they'd go over time.
I'll note again, the females are more likely to be the big ones following reptile trends, but that's not a bad thing, and actually is a rather hilarious idea when you consider the potential social dynamic between the sexes.

In the cold it would be really uncomfortable having snakes for hair, especially if they sneak out of your hat / headband.
And in the opposite of that, depending on how the snakes actually biologically work, snake hair makes desert travelling more dangerous.

You are arguing for what amounts for an additional set of limbs being part of the difference between sexes, and this is so stupid just thinking about it hurts, and that's not touching the issue of it actually fucking mattering. You haven't a single idea what you're talking about.

And you've missed the point. Snekpeople would definitely be primates where it counts, with no reptile traits aside from having snek hair.
feeding them if whatever you eat doesn't affect their appetite
hair is dead so would the snakes be dead?
would they just be on your head or would you have snake pubes?
haircuts. if the snakes keep growing they'll get heavier and that'll be a pain. besides, if you cut it you'd have dead snakes hanging from your head.
also they'd snap at people and probably stalk little animals even when they're out of reach.

Summon as many ape names as you can think of and then compare how their males and females look. Hint: monogamous species have low rates of sexual dimorphism, and vice versa. Now, us? We are going towards monogamy, which will make us lose sexual dimorphism as we go on.
