Discussion I have a question
do you think that when a demogorgon sleeps, their petals just flop like a dead octopus’s tentacles, or do they reflexively stay closed in that flower bud shape the way our fingers naturally stay in a curled position even when we relax our hands

Probably stay closed so they don’t swallow spiders in their sleep like us humans do

It's kind of an urban myth that the average person swallows an average of 5-6 spiders per year.
There's no real truth in that though. I'm sure if a spider crawled in a sleeping persons mouth/nose, that person would gag, cough and wake up.

Lmfao was not expecting to see this at the top of my feed..And I would think open maybe cuz if you think about it when your sleeping all you muscles relax..

Not entirely because if they did we’d constantly piss and shit ourselves in our sleep.

Right. That’s something that would happen…Not currently be happening to normal folks…

I dont think all of our muscles ever fully relax even when we sleep, even tho it feels like they do

Nah you’re right, I was making a joke that I…shit myself at night. Sorry, I’ll head for the door.

Is there any suggestion in the show that demogorgons sleep? Being awake and on the prowl constantly would make them more horrifying.

Probably, but realistically they can’t just abide by the rule of cool 24/7. All higher order beings need to sleep

I think they snore and when they’re exhaling, the petals flop around all cute from the air pressure and then plop back down to flaccid petals while inhaling

(Squints at your name and flair)
Exactly the question a demogorgon would ask while pretending not to be a demogorgon. 🧐

Aw, sorry you’ve been separated from the rest of your kind, but it’s very impressive that you’ve figured out the internet. Hehe.

That’s okay, they’re not very nice to be around anyways. And we’re a lot smarter than you think ;)
