So why is there no skin? Different color eyes? My cheeks are not purely made of muscle. (Seriously, good shitpost, but let's talk about it)

    The iris of your eye (the colored part) is a muscle that controls the size of the pupil (the black part that let's light in). The muscles in your cheeks control the corners of your mouth, which I guess is why they're all sunk in: no tension to hold the skin up.

    I'm not so sure about the accuracy of this picture either, maybe it was something else with a funny caption?
