The Trick That Finally Worked: How I Got My Toddler to Let Me Brush Her Teeth

Parenting is a journey filled with little challenges that sneak up on you. Sometimes, it’s the big milestones—sleeping through the night, potty training, learning to talk. Other times, it’s the small, everyday things that test your patience and creativity. For me lately, it’s been brushing teeth. Or rather, trying to brush the teeth of a strong-willed toddler who is absolutely convinced she’s got…

'what are you up to right now?'

it's 01:20am and i'm awake, listening to the rain hitting my window, contemplating writing poetry or painting because inspiration only seems to strike at around 2am when i definitely should be sleeping. in the morning i'll make banana pancakes and chocolate pastries and, hopefully, i'll have a better day than today.

Since I'm planning on participating in ArtFight for the first time in 2 years, I decided to warm up with a practice sketch of everyone's favourite haunted ass alien, Paranormality Daichi! It's like normal Daichi except he's got anxiety.

Have said it a million times and will never stop saying it.

Phannies whose first language is not English, please write as many posts and fanfics you want.

This includes phannies who aren’t completely fluent and or have poor grammar/spelling.

Please rant and engage and be as chaotic as the rest of us. Even if you cannot express it in English.

I personally have always found it so impressive and admirable when I learn a phannie mutual of mine has a first language other than English. Your ability to participate as much as you do while having to translate every video, every post, is something I am always so impressed by.

Please participate as much as you want in the phandom. Even if you only feel like posting in your first language, even if you know your grammar/spelling isn’t perfect, please share your thoughts and feelings!!!

@snoozy-red-panda tagged me to list the top ten songs apple music/spotify/whatever repeat playlist.

Thanks for tagging me! Sadly I cannot answer this properly. I have been in a really bad habit of not listening to music much anymore, partly because I live with someone now. I say bad habit, because I know listening to music helps my mood.

And anyway, when I do listen it is basically always Pandora. And I haven't have it set up to scrobble to last.fm or libre.fm in... probably like a decade. And Pandora doesn't really give stats on what songs it played for you.

I guess about the best I can do is list the first ten songs that come on if start playing Pandora now. This my "Doobie Brothers" station, which I listen to like 95% of the time, and has been fine tuned over many many years.

First ten songs that play in this Pandora session:

Long Train Runnin' - The Doobie Brothers Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Browne Do It Again - Steely Dan You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman-Turner Overdrive Listen To The Music - The Doobie Brothers (Wolf Trap live version) Jet Airliner - Steve Miller Band I Won't Back Down - Tom Petty Free Ride - Edgar Winter Eyes Of Silver - The Doobie Brothers Lookin' Out My Back Door - Creedence Clearwater Revival Hold On Loosely - 38 Special

Oops, that's eleven. Anyway yeah. That's pretty much how it goes.

Honestly for the longest time the way a lot of characters talked about bandits bothered me and I wasn't really able to place why until now. Fl4k outright calls them more savage than the beasts on Pandora (despite them Literally Collecting Organs and other things from the people they kill) and even Troy and Tyreen, two characters who ARE technically Pandoran because of their dad and who are head of bandit clans seeing their bandits as less than nothing and cannon fodder. I think the biggest issue with me is the fact that like. Under different circumstances this could've been *you*. You could've been from a heavily exploited place and fighting to survive only to get treated as cannon fodder and disrespected. If Troy and Tyreen grew up on Pandora things could've been very different for them and they could've been treated the exact same as they treat their followers.

YEAH ITS SO. Man. You can really tell that most of the Borderlands writing staff is White and American from how the word 'savage' gets thrown around, but even more so to how the consensus on bandits seems to be that they're hardly even people It's especially upsetting because these were, by all means, already disadvantaged people (Prisoner, lower ranking employees of dahl, etc) who got dumped and forgotten in a dangerous planet and who are just trying to survive while insanity takes its hold (probably from the combined constant stress, heat and how Everything Tries To Kill You all the time). But the part about Troy and Tyreen especially kills me.

Troy and Tyreen willingly abusing their connections to a group of people they KNOW are desperate enough to do anyrhing for protection and familiarity and exploiting them even further. It's so sad to think about for too long like. What if that was you. What if the only reason that Isn't you is because you were depraved of a connection as a child, as a teen and as an adult too. They would've been treated the same as they treat their followers right now, exploited the same way they are right now, and maybe more given they're sirens. Man. I wish we got to see more human sides to Tyreen and Troy, maybe even some genuinely sympathetic moments where they talk abiut Pandora with some fondness, even if it was just as a way to manipulate the cult more, even if their intention of opening the great vault and destroying everything was still on there, because I think it would be so essential to showing WHY they're so appealing to bandits. They have this twisted idea about Pandora and about themselves growing up in it, and maybe they're almost a little sad that they didn't actually get to experience it before, that there was never community for them before that moment. Fuuck
