How LED Tooth Whitening Works The Best Way To Whiten Teeth Professionally

Introduction
Did you know that the color of your teeth can have a direct effect on your personal and professional relationships? Recent studies have shown that a whiter smile can increase your chances of being hired for your dream job by 58% and make you 53% more likely to earn a generous salary (1). In fact, a survey found that 96% of single men and women consider a white smile to be a "dealbreaker" (2). Not only that, but people with whiter teeth are twice as likely to land a second date (2). It's no wonder why teeth whitening treatments are a hot trend among Hollywood movie stars, business professionals, social media influencers, and the wealthy.
https://direct.me/l/g8dt
If you're looking to achieve a brighter smile, you've come to the right place. In this article, we will explore the revolutionary Real White LED Teeth Whitener by Primal Life Organics. This breakthrough product has been featured as one of the "Top 8 Best Teeth Whitening Solutions for 2023" by Medical Daily. We will delve into how LED tooth whitening works, why it is the best way to whiten teeth professionally, and how it can transform your smile.
The Real White LED Teeth Whitener: A Game-Changer in Oral Care
At Primal Life Organics, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to create effective oral care solutions. Our Real White LED Teeth Whitener is a testament to this commitment. Unlike traditional teeth whitening solutions that contain teeth-damaging peroxide, harsh chemicals, and artificial flavors, our whitening system is formulated without these harmful ingredients.
What sets our whitening system apart is its ability to deliver outstanding results while remaining gentle on your teeth and gums. Many teeth whitening products on the market can cause discomfort, but our formula not only whitens your teeth but also makes them stronger in the process.
The Science Behind the Real White LED Teeth Whitening System
The Real White LED Teeth Whitening System features a unique formula that combines several key ingredients to effectively enhance the whiteness of your teeth and strengthen them. Let's take a closer look at these ingredients and how they work:
Hydroxyapatite (HAp): Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral that makes up the majority of our tooth enamel. By incorporating hydroxyapatite into our formula, we can help repair and strengthen your enamel, leading to healthier and whiter teeth.
Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP): PAP is a powerful whitening agent that effectively removes stains from the surface of your teeth. It works by breaking down the molecules that cause discoloration, revealing a brighter and whiter smile.
White Activated Charcoal: Activated charcoal has long been used for its detoxifying properties. In our whitening system, white activated charcoal acts as a gentle abrasive that helps remove surface stains and polish your teeth, leaving them looking brighter and cleaner.
Clay: Clay is known for its ability to absorb toxins and impurities. By incorporating clay into our formula, we can help draw out stains and detoxify your teeth, resulting in a whiter and healthier smile.
Olive Oil Infused with Essential Oils: Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and has antibacterial properties. When infused with essential oils, it can help reduce inflammation, promote gum health, and freshen your breath.
By combining these powerful ingredients, the Real White LED Teeth Whitening System tackles stains and discoloration while improving the overall health of your teeth.
The Benefits of LED Tooth Whitening
LED tooth whitening has gained popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness and convenience. Here are some of the key benefits of LED tooth whitening:
Fast and Efficient: LED tooth whitening is a quick and efficient way to achieve a whiter smile. The Real White LED Teeth Whitener can deliver noticeable results in as little as 16 minutes, making it perfect for those with busy schedules.
Portable: One of the biggest advantages of LED tooth whitening is its portability. The Real White LED Teeth Whitener is compact and easy to use, allowing you to whiten your teeth on the go. Whether you're driving to an interview or getting ready for a social event, you can use this 16-minute whitening trick to boost your confidence and radiate a pearly white smile.
Chemical-Free: Unlike many traditional teeth whitening treatments that rely on harsh chemicals, the Real White LED Teeth Whitening System is chemical-free. This means you can achieve a whiter smile without exposing your teeth and gums to potentially harmful substances.
Long-Lasting Results: LED tooth whitening can provide long-lasting results when used regularly. By incorporating the Real White LED Teeth Whitener into your oral care routine, you can maintain a radiant smile for years to come.
How LED Tooth Whitening Works
LED tooth whitening works by using a combination of light and whitening agents to break down stains and discoloration on the surface of your teeth. The Real White LED Teeth Whitener harnesses the power of LED light in conjunction with the whitening formula to deliver exceptional results.
When you use the Real White LED Teeth Whitener, the LED light activates the whitening agents in the formula, allowing them to penetrate the enamel and target stains. The whitening agents work by breaking down the molecules that cause discoloration, revealing a brighter and whiter smile.
Is Smile LED Teeth Whitening Effective?
Yes, LED teeth whitening is an effective way to brighten your smile. The Real White LED Teeth Whitening System has been carefully formulated to deliver outstanding results without causing discomfort or damage to your teeth and gums.
LED teeth whitening has been backed by Harvard Medical School and numerous other credible universities (4, 5). It has gained popularity among celebrities, health biohackers, and those seeking a safe and effective way to whiten their teeth.
Doesn’t that sound amazing?

First I want to make sure you’re crystal clear on how to use this teeth whitening solution… and how often you should use it for the very best results.
https://direct.me/l/g8dt
Here’s how to use it:
1.Apply 1/2 of REAL WHITE GEL pod to the mouthpiece (0.25 ml top/ 0.25 ml bottom). RECAP tip after use.
2.Press button to turn on the LED device, and quickly press to switch between modes, Red, Blue, Combo

4.The device will shut off after 16mins
5.Remove the mouthpiece after 16 minutes. Rinse your teeth with warm water.
6.Remove the mouth guard and Wash the mouthpiece with warm water after use.
7.You’ll want to repeat this one time 5-6 days per week at first…
8.Then — when you reach a point where you’re happy with the whiteness of your teeth — you’ll use the system 2-3 times per week for maintenance.

Sound good?
It’s really that easy to get the smile you’ve been dreaming of… But here’s the catch…
You Must Order Now… Before We Run Out!
Studies show that 89% of people want a whiter smile.
Teeth whitening procedures have increased by a whopping 300% in the last 20 years in the United States alone.
Because people are catching on to how important it is to make a great first impression with a bright white smile to up their social life and status.
A white smile leads to more success… love… friendship… trust… and so much more.
What that means is people just like you are searching for teeth whitening solutions now more than ever…
And our LED Teeth Whitening System is rising to the top of people’s radar all over the world.
With that said… due to increasing popularity and the soaring public demand for a 100% safe and natural teeth whitening system…
Running out of stock is a very REAL RISK.
Especially because we are the ONLY teeth whitening system that doesn’t use any toxins… and uses BOTH Red and Blue LED lights to give you a sparkling white smile.
Plus… the Primal Life Organics LED Teeth Whitening System is the most cost-effective teeth whitening option available. Because…
One system will last you 15+ years
And you don’t need to purchase a bunch of trays… and the effect won’t “wear off” like other whitening kits.
Basically, you’re making one purchase today for almost two decades of a sparkling white smile.
I’m so proud of our team because we’ve taken a brand-new and scientifically proven concept…
… and have quite possibly revolutionized the dental industry with our all-natural activated charcoal paste and LED Teeth Whitening System.
And with a product that is in such HIGH DEMAND… we could have easily priced the Primal Life Organics LED Teeth Whitening System at $995…
And even that would be generous…
Especially because you’ll only need ONE unit for the next 15 years…
But listen… we genuinely care about the look and health of your smile because we know how much it matters.
So we’ve gone to great lengths to bring this solution to you at the most cost-effective investment possible...
Because we would hate for price to stand in the way of you finally getting the dazzling smile of your dreams…
Which is why you’re NOT going to pay the $995 today. You won’t even have to pay the $549.97 — which is our standard retail price. Instead...
Right now on this page only you can claim your Primal Life Organics LED teeth whitening system for a one-time payment of
just $549 $199.97
That’s $199.97 for 15+ years of use…
Here’s What You Get One More Time:
1.One LED whitener — 32 bulbs of (16) Red and (16) Blue light
2.One Magnetic Charging wire - One Removable Mouth guard
3.10x (20 treatments) Real White Gel pods (FREE fast action bonus while supplies last)
4.There are NO CHANGING BATTERIES and NO EXTRA TRAYS.
This unit plugs into your phone or laptop... so you don’t need batteries to power it… and the LED bulbs last 50,000 hours…
Which means this system will last you 10 years if you use it once every single day for 16 minutes…
But like I mentioned above…
You’ll only use it 4-5 times per week to whiten your teeth… and when you get to a place where you love the color of your teeth… you’ll only need to use it 2-3 times per week to maintain your pearly whites.
Which means you could easily get 15 years out of a single unit when you order today.
Plus… the LED whitener unit is the tray. So you don’t need to futz around with any extra trays.
It’s also made of a food-grade silicone… which is soft for your teeth and completely waterproof. It requires NO molding and allows you to whiten the top and bottom teeth at the same time comfortably.
And you NEVER have to wait for results.

Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, The Paleo Mom

I keep thinking about the tragedy of not just the Dellamortes we know and love, but all the others too. Caterina's five children and the six other grandchildren. I think it's implied that Lucanis' parents were killed first, right? House Velardo sent Lucanis' mother's ring back to Caterina to demand she surrender, and when she didn't they started the war that took the rest of Caterina's children too. Did Caterina's children support her risking their lives, and their own children's lives, in her bid for power? Did they have to watch their siblings fall off one by one, with those remaining mourning each sibling while knowing the message of this murder was that they, and their families, could be next? Or did Caterina (and Illario and Lucanis) just wake up one day as the only survivors? Did any of her children ever ask her to stop, or try to run away? Where were Illario and Lucanis when their families died? How did they end up as the only two survivors? How old were they? Old enough to understand what was happening, or not? Which is worse? There are no good answers to any of these questions and I am now miserable.
#Caterina Sunk Cost Dellamorte indeed#Also#Does Illario know that the fact he survived likely means that someone loved him so much they were willing to give up everything#for him and him alone to survive?#How does he feel about that; that one of the only time he's ever been truly loved it was ultimately a tragedy?#Illario Dellamorte#Lucanis Dellamorte#veilguard spoilers

roommate katsuki lore time:
your job isn’t as physically demanding as that of a pro-hero, but it is equally, if not more time intensive. your friends often comment you seem dead on your feet way more often than they do, and you have to agree. so when you decide to scrounge up some extra money and hire a private chef, you think it’s the best decision you’ve made in a while.
your friends would seem to agree—and some tease that maybe you should ask your guy if he can cater to izuku, too. except for katsuki, who seems appalled, betrayed, and disgruntled. it takes all but one week about you gushing over the meals your chef has prepped for you for katsuki to show up to your apartment in the middle of the day, while you’re at work, and the chef is in your kitchen, kindly ask him to leave forever, and get to work himself. when you come home, you’re confused and pissed when you realize katsuki has fired your saving grace, but the anger falls flat on your tongue when you’re interrupted by the blonde spoon-feeding you the most delicious bite of steak that you’ve ever had in your entire life. he’s way too smug watching you physically melt about the food, and ordering you to sit down and have a proper meal.
he tries not to be endeared by your stuffed cheeks, but there’s a satisfaction brewing in him that he can’t quite place. all he knows is it won’t be taken away from him again; that’s why he flicks your forehead, throws a dish towel over his shoulder, and says, “make room for my shit here by the end of the week. and don’t complain when i put all your spoons together in one drawer,” before heading over to the sink to wash up.
you don’t even get until the end of the week before katsuki is barreling into your apartment with boxes and clothes and, “this is what we call a stainless steel pan in the wild. ever seen one before?” prompting you to reach up and pinch his ear even as he cackles all the way to the kitchen. you suppose, in the end you can’t complain. you get to live with your best friend, you get free catering, free cleaning, and it takes you two months of living together to find out katsuki’s paid off your rent for the rest of the year, too. you know, what friends are for.
#you ask him what happened to the rent money for the month go and hes like well how much did u think a set of#'eight of those super pretty french pots' cost like boy did u use my money to buy le creuset????.... carry on#(he's joking he bought them himself)#he moves in (you didnt ask him to) and complains about EVERYTHING and then fixes it all anyway#like baby girl YOU CAN GO HOME! TO YOUR HOUSE! YOU DONT HAVE TO BE HERE (he does and he wont leave)#btw he moves in and shoto is like...................... r u two fuckin serious and is appalled nobody else is seeing what he's seeing#every time i write katsuki just know i want to hit him with the aforementioned frying pan#katsuki x reader#katsuki bakugo x reader#bnha x reader#mha x reader#wrote this like i would

You know I'm realizing one reason you keep seeing mdzs modern AUs where the Jiang parents are alive mainly so they can dramatically fail and betray Wei Wuxian by cutting him off financially--defaulting on his college tuition or formally disowning him etc--isn't just that people want to translate the Burial Mounds II arc into modern terms while keeping Jiang Cheng clean of it.
(Despite the fact that the internal logic of Jiang Cheng's character is largely built around him being a person who would abandon someone he intensely cared about under these specific circumstances.)
It's because it's hard to set up a modern analogue for the way that Jiang Cheng is responsible for Wei Wuxian, as his Sect Leader.
We live in a highly individualistic society. People are trying to write Wei Wuxian Tragically Wronged, and because there's a normative expectation that people in the position of parents will provide you with resources, and certainly won't withdraw them without warning, but no such assumption that people in the position of siblings necessarily owe each other support, making this work in modern setting with Jiang Cheng in his canon role would require a lot of extra work, just to get a less readily resonant result.
But I keep thinking about it. Because something that's getting lost here is, not just the nuances of character and relationship, but like...it's sort of key to the story that cutting Wei Wuxian off was, in fact, Completely Socially Appropriate.
The level on which it was a betrayal is subtle, and deeply cutting. And intensely tied up in the very different opinions each of Jiang Cheng's parents had about what obligations existed in their family wrt Wei Wuxian, and what these meant.
The level on which it was the obvious, normal course of action is blatant. That is to a huge extent why it happens: because Jiang Cheng's instinct to conform is a survival instinct, reinforced by trauma, and Wei Wuxian's choices meant he had no coherently compelling reason not to obey it, and enormous peer pressure to do so.
The fact is that Jiang Cheng was making a reasonable choice, the actual thing 'anyone would do in that situation,' unlike Wei Wuxian and Jin Guangyao's respective wildly warped ideas about what that is.
Wei Wuxian wasn't betrayed by Jiang Sect like your foster parents cutting you off because you're disobedient. Wei Wuxian was betrayed by Jiang Sect like your brother refusing to drop fifty grand to bail you out of jail.
Of course Wei Wuxian tells him not to. And of course the fact that Jiang Cheng already chose in the moment not to pay a cent because Fuck You Wei Ying still stands there glaring, a precedent that can never be taken back.
And then later he's betrayed by Jiang Cheng like your brother cooperating with a police investigation into a manslaughter you really did commit, that's being handled like domestic terrorism. And then like your brother calling the cops on you. And then like your brother helping the cops find where you're hiding.
I'm personally fascinated by the way Jiang Cheng's lifelong resentment for the way Jiang Fengmian reliably bailed Wei Wuxian out of everything informed those decisions to do the normal thing, the way he's reacting against his dead father as well as against Wei Wuxian and the actual situation.
But even without that daddy issues angle, the fact that the person who made that choice was Jiang Cheng, and that it was simultaneously the reasonable appropriate normal upstanding citizen rational thing to do and so shitty Wei Wuxian would be entitled never to forgive it is sort of. The Point.
Of the scenario, and also to a considerable degree of the entire finely tuned narrative construct that is Jiang Cheng.
#hoc est meum#mdzs#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#meta#like sometimes people commit transgressions#and you have to actually decide what that means to you#what you're willing to let them cost you#whether you agree that that transgression deserves punishment#and even if it does what role you're willing to take in that process#jiang cheng is someone whose sense of right and wrong operates along emotional and pragmatic axes before consulting the moral#which means that without being a *bad* person he's someone who's highly susceptible to pressure#as long as it comes from either a superior or Society At Large#especially if his insecurities get tripped#but like sometimes just for example it's illegal to be gay#or people have less rights because of who their parents were#and those instincts can lead you into bad choices#it's good to be able to set boundaries but jiang cheng is not good at setting them where he personally actually wants them#and when he does they're the boundaries Angry Jiang Cheng wants#and calmed-down jiang cheng just has to live with them#which ofc is something that applies to wwx too in very different ways#the fact that BOTH jiang cheng and lan xichen when the chips are down choose society over their respective halves of wangxian#at one crucial point#and that lan xichen does so in a way that he can live with and not withdraw from the relationship because of#while jiang cheng is almost insane with the need for wei wuxian to deserve everything that happened to him#and how much of that is who they are as people?#and how much is that lan wangji is not dead#and how much is it that lan xichen understands exactly what happened and why#while jiang cheng doesn't and can't so he has to make up his own story to make sense of it#so much going on here

The fact that this was Italy's motivation to tell America about the mansion which led to the events of HetaOni is so. Isn't fate so cruel
#Italy: i want to be closer friends with the others!! (=ヮ=)೨#[monkey's paw curls]#this makes me so upset every time i remember it like. he just wanted some fun bonding time with the others and messed up directions#and now he's trapped in a torment nexus with no end in sight while knowing full well they're there because of him 😭😭#i mean it DID bring them closer but. at what cost#does he even remember he fucked up directions and told america it was east instead of north.#god i hope he doesn't he doesn't need that weighing on him on top of everything else#i do wonder how things would've turned out if they went to the regular ao oni mansion instead...#would the ao oni have the power to neutralize their immortality too except with no time looping so they'd just be dead for good.#or can it only kill regular people so they would've been fine and it would've been just another tuesday#much to think about#also sorry for hetaoniposting on italy (and romano)'s bday of all days but 😭😭 waugh#hws italy#hetaoni#hetalia

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...
...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art#crochet#fiber art#described images#image description in alt#used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE#see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet#i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece#with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same.#i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean#plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece#one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it#*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost*#if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡#i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting'#did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO#i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3#i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to..#...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

Season 4 hope/prediction: Deb's show is solid, zero issues, runs flawlessly with great ratings, but her personal life is completely eroding. We start with her discovering Marcus is leaving, and it culminates in DJ going into labor right before a taping. Deb chooses the show. When it's over, and she finally flies to Vegas, it's too late -- Aiden's not letting her in because he loves his wife too much to let DJ get into a shouting match with her mom right after giving birth, and instead takes the brunt of Deb's wrath, with her making excuses and talking about how they used her money for IVF, and anyway, DJ's fine, so who cares if she wasn't there? Kathy's in the room with DJ and the baby (DJ's the closest she has to a daughter, after all) and Deb leaves too furious to think about how badly she's hurt her family.
She heads back to her Vegas mansion -- empty, obviously, Josefina and the dogs would be in LA -- and pops open a bottle of wine. Alone. Completely alone. Can't call Marty, she has no friends, the closest she's got would be Kiki and wouldn't that be embarrassing, calling your poker dealer to talk about your feelings --
and then Ava's there. She got the news about DJ's labor, she got the story from Aiden (who was distraught, by the way, man's too much of a sweetheart for Vance drama), a spare key from Damian (happy to pawn that off on her, though if it isn't returned promptly he's taking legal action) and has arrived just in time to see the Deborah Vance having a breakdown the likes of which no one thought physically possible. Crying gives you wrinkles, you know. But Ava has to be here. She's the physical embodiment of a lesson Deb never truly learned: you don't have to like someone to love them.
In my imaginary fantasy land that I am concocting this would then subsequently lead into them fucking nasty but I understand that this may be a step too far for the surprisingly large number of very normal people who watch this show and would forgive JPL for not taking it that far. However I do believe they should fuck about it and let Ava take the reigns in their relationship while they see how many of Deb's bridges they can un-burn.
#hacks hbo#ava x deborah#avorah#avadeb#hey if anyone wants to bother writing this for real go for it I don't care#if any of this is any degree of accurate for JPL's vision of s4 then I will be extremely happy#deb is NOT miranda priestly#miranda knew from the start that she could never have human connection or she'd lose her dream job#deb has inspired such genuine devotion that she does not understand that a woman in a man's role historically requires sacrifice#she knew the fire cost her the show but she didn't KNOW that that was the only reason until now#that the network did not give a shit at all#the advertisers did and the advertisers are the true enemy#she still believes she got to the top through hard work and talent#wrong the deborah vance brand was built by people who love her and believe in her#only when she has lost DJ will she be open to hearing the truth (that it was a group effort)#from the mouth of the one person who stood by her out of a wombo combo of love and spite#only THEN will she accept that kathy was right#THIS is why frank left her. THIS behavior. the belief that SHE is a special queen who did it all alone#frank was scum by the way dude groomed her little sister#his behavior is fucked but his reason is close enough to correct that ava can use it as an example of how much deb HAS to change#btw please please please we need deb sleeping with ava and not calling it a mistake because she's too fucking tired and sad

I like Batman. I like Batman as a character. I like Bruce Wayne. But it is very unserious when people act like Jason Todd, or maybe Damian, the robins as a whole, or any one writer, or any specific story arc, is singlehandedly corrupting Bruce’s character into an severe and inflexible colleague and distant, emotionally-unavailable father. Because even if he hadn't consistently been a questionable, loving yet unhealthy AT BEST father figure in the majority of his appearances since the early 80s (and I do mean to Dick, to Cass (actually shaping her into his image in Batgirl 2000 at the cost of her social development and autonomy ISNT good,) a BAD mentor to Steph, not even getting into Helena, like truly it’s not all about Jason?) The first well-written book that comes to mind where his morality is at its worst imo? That’s Wonder Woman: Hiketeia. No robins, no batfamily, just Bruce putting aside Wonder Woman’s input and the context of the situation and chasing down a girl who killed the men responsible for trafficking, assaulting, and killing her baby sister, to the point where it ends with her jumping off a cliff.
And the thing is I still like reading him in Hiketeia, because he fills the role he needs to fill in that story well, his actions align with his wordview even if it’s taken to the extreme in an uncharitable way, and he keeps my attention. I just think it’s goofy how some of us on here look at the guy who’s big character trait is being a hard-to-know, stubborn, and condescending control freak who puts other people's emotions on the wayside in favor of his mission prolifically, and go “all he did was LOVE TOO MUCH! His mean kids and associates and teammates are PUNISHING HIM for LOVING with his BIG BIG HEART and it’s tainting the narrative!” And you could say “well Hiketeia doesn't count, Greg Rucka is just a hater!” (though I certainly wouldn’t.) But when the issue is Damian entertaining the idea of leaving the family business, and before that it’s Red Hood stepping on toes, and then, wait, before that it’s Green Arrow and Wonder Woman, and then Huntress, and then oh wait we can’t think about the weird patch with Nightwing where their relationship was super rocky, and then Jason but before he died, and of course the Green Lanterns are basically treated like punching bags for him to do something awesome then- Like maybe if it’s a consistent pattern spanning what, 20, 30 years now? The issue isn’t Damian or Red Hood alone, or PKJ or Greg Rucka or Judd Winick or Marv Wolfman + George Perez or even Jim Starlin being a hater, but your blorbo just having extremely well-documented character flaws?
#Batman already has to be the strongest and smartest and most powerful at the cost of other characters getting shafted to a comical extent#and now he's the kindest and the sweetest and the most understanding and the biggest heart in the whole wide world too?#why's it character regression for Damian + Jason when they get into the same 20 year old fights w/ Bruce but not character stagnancy for hi#it's okay for him to stick to his guns at the cost of everyone around him but for them it's regression to not fold to his will everytime?#ok#yeah sure#some of you are so devoted to the character Batman (man who dresses up as a bat) being right forever and ever#that you're starting to use actually unbelievable justifications to defend his name in every possible situation#“it doesn't count that he punched Dick in the face he was just in a really bad emotional place!”#“he's such a cute girldad to Batgirl! I love when he tries to get her to live her life underground unable to leave for fear of the FBI”#batman has never wronged ANYONE! and don't say prioritizing catching the Joker over his runaway presumed-suicidal kid son#or blaming Dick for Jason's death or trying to sacrifice Cass's chance at a public identity so she can be his soldier full time or Steph#or Helena or making an effort to isolate every one of his kids from their peers (he's overprotective daddy uwu) or#or letting multiple women die in favor of their assaulters or firing Dick in the first place or going out of his way to PROTECT the Joker#“Jason's the only problem child who makes him act like this” so I am excluding every thing he did wrong to RH Jason to humor that bs#this isn't even about Jason the ever-understanding version of Bruce you imagine simply does not exist outside of maybe DCAU cartoons!#dc comics#I'm not tagging this as Bruce for obvious reasons but I'm not anti Bruce for real#and I'm not saying “urrrrgh Batman hitting his kids is fine actually”#I'm saying “Batman would NEVER! He kisses them tenderly on the forehead every night and reassures them he loves them” is just so untrue#just saw something tagged with “bruce wayne critical” which feels much more accurate than “anti bruce wayne” so I'll use that!#bruce wayne critical#I'm not anti him this is just kinda unflattering commentary on how we interpret his character sometimes

John really likes to annoy Dirk and see him irritated until Dirk genuinely smiles for once he gets SO MUCH CUTENEES AGRESSION he wants to punch objects to dust and eat it with an inner monologue repeating "KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM"
But for Dirk, he could detect when John is Not actually expressing the real emotions he's showing, until John Genuinely smiles after a crying session which Dirk DID NOT expect. He's getting cuteness agression but the calm way with his inner monologue saying "I'm in heaven." and he just wants to hold John in his arms forever.
> John looks so calm and smiley all the time but he's actually very violent and when he's very mad he would love to punch everything and make them explode to prevent himself from thinking about anything.
> Dirk looks destructive and intimidating but he's actually just a guy who likes to hold someone's hand and blush in anime.
#dirkjohn#john egbert#dirk strider#homestuck#disguisedtalking#john does NOT have a blank/empty state of mind. (he (also) has adhd TO ME)(hashtag projection)(and it fits!!)#just as dirk over thinks about how much he HATES himself -#john over thinks to cover up his trauma effectively using these violent thoughts as a distraction#and it also cost him not being able to feel or describe his emotions anymore because of repression#JOHN IS AN OVER THINKER WHO OVER THINKS HIMSELF INTO FEELIN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING(repression)(jsut like me fr)(but to be fr dont do this)#dirk wants john carnally(holding hands) while john wants dirk carnally(cannibalism)#dirk and john are both audhd but in a parallel way too im serious
