Inside-Out Boy 1989
No they didn’t. Bones would be on the outside as they are the innermost body part.
Is that really it though? Humans are topologically the same as a straw, so it would be more akin to maybe turning a sock inside out, or pulling your head through your digestive tract and out your ass.
It’d probably end up with your entire body enclosed in a big pink roundish sack, the outside being the mucous membranes that were previously the lumen of the digestive tract. It would probably break every bone in your body.
I suppose it depends on your definition of “innermost”. If we’re talking the deepest relative to skin, then it would be as above. If we’re saying “farthest from where atmosphere can reach without puncturing anything”, then yeah I guess it would be the skeleton. The anatomical definition is definitely the former, though.
exoskeleton with a thin layer of marrow on top?
Yup!
I could see such an abomination fitting right in with the aesthetics of Scorn.
Muscle groups inside a distorted skeleton, with organs on the outside. The trickiest or most confusing things would be the boney sockets on the skull would bulge out (shielding the eye balls which would be completely encased by them)… Also the septum of the nose would be on the outside of the nose area of the skull… I guess the brain would be like a hat?
Nah you over think it. All that needs to be accomplished is for what’s inside to become outside. A laxative would count under this very literal interpretation.
