My father sneezed his teeth out at a random couple in the Walmart parking lot than rode away on the grocery cart into the sunset giggling like a maniac.

Life is just one giant podcast. People really do just say shit. I am people. Shit.

The people who listen and interact to your audio teachings are just the people around you. Friends, family, the guy at the grocery store that plays music that you see there all the time but don’t know his name but donated money to once and said you had a nice smile or the dentist who said I had nice skin and teeth, or the thing under my bed who wanted to take my teeth out to add to its collection etc… But now you can comment on podcasts. This once beautiful land of audio listening has now just become a tweeting hellscape. Much like real life when you used to just be able to talk about if you liked something or not without it spreading like a wildfire now you can’t because of the internet. It can be beautiful but the devil comes in many forms. Isn’t it ironic (hi Alanis Morissette) that I somewhat of an internet user am using this.. the internet. Sometimes I even scare myself.

Apprentice of the Butler

AKA "Alfred Pennyworth hires an interim butler while he recuperates from a Rogue attack. Who better than adoption bait Danny Fenton?" prompt!!

Okay, so imagine Danny moves to Gotham to pursue astrophysics at Gotham-U but he's having a surprisingly difficult time keeping a job. Every time he gets hired, the place gets burned down or blown up by Rogues; it's like he's catnip for trouble. Somehow, he's always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And Alfred Pennyworth also happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He's at the Gotham Market Co-op, where Danny's been recently hired, and suddenly it's gassed by Scarecrow's Fear Toxin. All the employees and customers scramble to put on their gas masks, but Danny's new enough that he has no idea what's happening. He's suddenly seeing Fright Knight, Dark Pariah, and the GIW. So, he Goes Ghost, defeats all of Scarecrow's goonies, and saves the day! If only his boss would think so, too.

Uh, no. Apparently Danny's now on a Wanted List as an undocumented meta?? And his boss can't be investigated by the GCPD (he's, like, four years behind on taxes and has been dodging the IRS for longer), so he regretfully has to let Danny go. But, hey! Maybe if he becomes a documented meta, he can get hired back. Except Danny can't because the GIW can access the meta registration database and he'll be found out faster than he can leave Gotham.

So, Danny's fired again.

And Alfred "Pride & Honor" Pennyworth?? He's not gonna let the child who saved him (because Scarecrow absolutely was going to snatch the Wayne's butler, who better to take hostage than a billionaire's publicly beloved Father Figure??) possibly become homeless. It's clear the kid is a college student and is barely scraping by, probably paying way too much for room and board at Gotham-U. And... maybe his wrist hurts a bit from a fall. He's older now, it's not impossible that he'd get a sprain or a broken bone. (Plus, Alfred knows the look. The same one as Dick, Jason, Tim, even Bruce. There's an immense grief in those small shoulders, fear and loneliness.)

Cue Alfred hiring Danny on as an interim butler while he recuperates (oh, he's terribly injured, thank you so much for helping me, my boy-). And Danny can't say no. I mean, this old man got injured during the Rogue attack he was apart of! And he's asking for help! And it's also nice to have some money. And a bed and... oh, God, he's working for a billionaire frootloop. Uh-oh.

(Alfred absolutely doesn't tell Bruce about his new son apprentice. It's worth it to see Bruce's eyes glaze over as sees a black-haired teenager standing in the kitchen with Alfred, then doing a double take when he realizes it isn't Jason. And the others are banned from the kitchen, so who is this child in his house?? It's not Kon or Jon either??)

Meanwhile, Danny is actually having a great time with Mr. Pennyworth!! The older man is kind, soft-spoken, and really knows his stuff. Danny really enjoys learning how to cook, especially because none of the food comes alive to fight him. Eventually the Batfam just become used to seeing Danny in the kitchens, gardens, around the house with Alfred. He's a cute kid, always smiling and talking about his college classes. He has effortless sarcastic banter with both Damian and Jason, bonds with Tim about some kind of difficult mechanical mathematics or something, trades dad jokes with Dick. He even manages to win over Cass, Steph, Duke, and Babs.

The only one Danny doesn't truly seem to like is Bruce Wayne, although he never outright disrespects him, since he pays the bills and Danny's midwestern manners kick in. Bruce is confused and very concerned because why is this kid literally glaring daggers at him all the time?? Is he going to poison Bruce's coffee?? Danny's just trying to figure out if Bruce Wayne is a "collects vintage dentures" or "keeps teenagers locked in his basement" type of billionaire frootloop. (He'd kinda prefer the kidnapping, Danny does not want to go looking for a wine cellar and find an entire basement of old teeth.)

Bonus if Bruce tries to subtly win the boy over and Danny's just like, squinting at him, white-knuckling a frying pan and muttering, "That's exactly what someone who collects teeth would say..."

Concept art for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze depicting an unused enemy called a "Peanut Eater", which would have been immune to Diddy Kong's Peanut Pop Gun by humorously eating the peanuts.

This was likely unused for two reasons: -In addition to Diddy, two equivalent projectiles shot by Dixie and Cranky also exist in the game, being gumballs and dentures. While it would be logical for the creature to also eat gumballs, it would be rather bizarre if it ate dentures; while if it didn't, it would not even be immune to every type of projectile and thus its gimmick would have been even more specific. -Peanuts and other such projectiles are extremely ineffective in the game to begin with, doing nothing except very slightly slow down the vast majority of enemies. As such, an enemy that is unaffected by them would not have an advantage interesting enough to theme an entire design around.

It's a Match! || 141 x Reader

[ Chapter 15 ] || [ Chapter 17 ]

Pairing: 141 x gn!Reader Words: 1.3K~ Summary: While overcoming recent heartbreak, you decide to join Tinder in search of a rebound. Your friends advise to just Swipe Right indiscriminately... What happens when 4 soldiers from the same squad match with you? a/n: I'm all for vigilante justice.

Chapter 16: Teeth

“Address.” Simon demanded as he crouched in front of you, a hand cusping your cheek.

“Simon… please…” You tried arguing.

“Address.” He insisted a bit more forcefully.

It was bizarre to see him in full gear. Black on black on black… And it was even more bizarre to be looking into the eyes of the nice, honest, respectful man you’ve been seeing but having his features hidden behind a skull. An actual, real life skull sewn to a black balaclava…

You can see the fire burning in his eyes through the skull’s eye sockets… You were severely wrong when you made fun of him for wearing a skull mask in public. It’s not silly… it’s downright terrifying…

It strikes you then that the person looking at you right now is the ‘Ghost’ and not Simon.

“He’s not going to be home… He helps Fridays and Saturdays at a friend’s pub…” You explained. “It’s called The Railway.” You said sheepishly.

Ghost caressed your face one last time with his hand, the rough material of his glove scratching your cheek lightly, the same way Simon.

Then, he pushed up on his knees to stand back up and turned. “Kyle, you stay with them.” 

“Roger that.” Gaz replied as he took a seat next to you on the couch.

“Johnny, on me.” Ghost said as he beelined for the front door of your apartment. 

“Aye.” Soap bounced up from his eat on one of your kitchen chairs and gave you a friendly tap on the shoulder before he took off after Ghost.

You watched them go until the door closed and then turned to look at Gaz. “They’re not going to kill Ethan, right…?”

“No. But he might need dentures once they’re done.”

-

You’re awoken by Kyle stirring next to you. You’ve fallen asleep on the couch, basically draped across Kyle’s body, his arms wrapped around your body protectively, as you laid between his legs, your head against his shoulder.

“Sorry, lovie.” He told you as he ran his lips over your forehead in a wisp of a kiss.

“Wha-” You murmured as you rubbed your eyes before pulling back to look at him.

“Johnny just texted… They’re downstairs, lovie.” He told you, causing you to slowly slip out of his embrace.

You pulled back to the other side of the couch and yawned, feeling the blanket he draped over you both falling off you and exposing your back to the cold air.

Rising up to your feet, you approached the intercom and buzzed them in. Kyle followed after you, bringing the blanket along, making you giggle a bit when you felt him wrap the blanket and his arms, around you.

Johnny and Simon came jogging up the stairs as you and Kyle waited by the open door. “Hi…” You greeted them both. 

“Hi, sweetheart. Wait a moment, we’re dirty.” Simon told you, his voice a lot more gentle than it had been as him and Johnny came up the steps.

They stepped inside and before either of them touched you, they took off their gear at the door and dumped them in a pile on the floor next to Kyle’s. Gaz and Ghost had rushed over upon getting Soap’s call… and good thing they came all kitted up. They needed it, as it turns out.

Only after removing their gear and washing their hands in the bathroom, did they come over to you and Kyle who were sitting on the couch again.

Simon came to sit across from you, atop the coffee table and gently held your hands. “How are you feeling?” He asked you, his voice kind, caring, soft… His brown eyes looking at you like he expected you to flinch away from him at any moment.

There was a deep-seated fear of being Simon (and only Simon) in him. It made him need some type of cover on his face… One he could justify to you under the guise of his scarring and deformities… 

But there was also a need in him to keep ‘the ghost’ as far from you as possible… Having come into your flat as Ghost before departing to go find Ethan had ruined those chances… So he knew that he had no choice but to fully shed Ghost and his mask at the door to your flat and bear himself to be just Simon to you. And never risk bringing him in again. And so he did. 

For the first time, Simon had no face covering at all, having tugged off his skull mask and balaclava and chucked it at the pile of gear by the front door. 

And you were still looking at him like he was the most beautiful thing you’ve seen, your eyes softened and fond as you regarded him. 

“I’m okay.” You assured him after a beat of silence.

Simon nodded and his left hand cupped your face again, his thumb rubbing your bottom lip.

“Oh, by the way.” Simon remarked and dug around in his pockets before handing you a keyring with a couple of keys and a singular metal heart keychain attached to it. “Believe this is yours.”

Taking the keys in your hand, you huffed, recognizing the keys to your flat and the keychain engraved with your anniversary date that you had gotten for you and Ethan once you had moved in together a year and a half into your relationship.

“I can’t believe he still had a copy… I could’ve sworn he gave it back…” You said as you looked down at the stupid heart. You had gotten rid of yours once the relationship ended, throwing it into the bin and having long since taken out the bag with it to the rubbish collection.

“He did.” Johnny said. “He fessed up he got a copy made.” He added bluntly.

“Piece of shit.” You insullted him and immediately set the key down next to Simon on the coffee table before shaking your head and leaning back on the couch, arms crossed.

“Now I wish I went with.” Kyle remarked next to you.

“Kyle!” You scolded him and he shrugged.

“What? He deserved what he got…” He said, causing the other men to nod in agreement.

“But I doubt he’s going to bother you again.” Simon added.

“You didn’t kill him, did you?” You quipped, which caused him to chuckle, his lips morphing into a smirk.

His smile… God, is he beautiful.

“No… Just broke a couple bones.” He assured you, making you sigh and nod in relief.

“Thanks, by the way...” You told them. “I don’t- I don’t think I should be thanking you for beating up my ex but…” You trailed off.

The three men around you chuckled at your words and shook their heads.

“Aye… Don’t worry. We needed to get some boxing in either way… only turned him into a bit of a punching bag.” Johnny quipped from the side, making you look toward him for the first time since they came in.

“Thank you.” You told Johnny directly. “You didn’t need to help… in any of this really.” You explained.

Johnny clicked his tongue and gestured vaguely with his hand, as if deflecting your gratefulness.

“No need.” He said with a light smile and crouched by your side, rubbing your forearm with his hand. “I wouldn’t have let you deal with that mess at the shop by yourself… Especially not when you’re with my mates.” He added.

Smiling softly you nodded at him agreement. Johnny seemed like a good sort. No wonder Kyle had so many stories of times spent with him while on leave… He had regaled you with plenty of them while Simon and him were gone taking care of Ethan…

And as you sat surrounded by the three of them, you felt quite alright.

[ranfordgallus]

Theres a thought i have but im afraid that it sound wrong or im being too "woke" like i know that phrase is stupid, like you can't be "too woke" that doesn't make any sense....BUT it feels like it, no that's not it, not "too woke"...i feel like it sounds...racist? Like i don't know, you tell me

Basically my thought was...i was looking at alot of parent insta reels and in tiktok, but there are comments of black parents being aggressive to kids and do not get me wrong...i will make this VERY clear, black parents, not all of them are abusive. physically, mentally, or verbally. But i see that this generalization of black parents being abusive, basically beating their kids, BUT at the same time white parents also beat their kids, and other people of colour in general. So why only think of black parents, specifically black americans...

Edit here: i do not find that every black parents are abusive, i've seen ALOT more affectionate and calm parents from the community. Do not cherry pick the minirity into the majority. But unfortunately the minority is still highlighted more than the majority. But it is also important to bring up the minority to talk about it and it's issues obviously. Abusive parenting should not be normalized at all.

I know this pattern of behavior in abusive parenting, parents who learn from their (abusive) parents that beating their children, yelling at them is the only way to discipline kids, and so these future parents took it as value and treat their kids the same way their parents treated them. And they will not accept that this type of parenting is not normal because they are in denial, it's their way to cope because it's their parents, These parents who abuse their kids physically and or verbally are the ones who cannot control their emotions BECAUSE they are taught as a young age that anger "fixes" problems, yelling...spanking...etc. and thus they think it's normal, for them. Because they were taught by their parents.

Now that aside, my guess on black parents are seen to be more abusive iiiissss......racism, obviously. But the reason why these parents are abusive? I think it's...it's gonna sound stupid...but i think it's because of american slavery. hear me out, we've all learned that enslaved black people were tortured, beaten up, and the rest is forced breeding, babies used as alligator bait, cannibalized by the oppressor, treated like livestock, skin used as leather, teeth used as dentures, lips pireced and shut to prevent them from eating sugar canes in the plantation, used as a lab mouse, etc.

But my most interest is the enslaved black people beaten up to discipline them. Basically the slave owners maybe drilled this idea to the slaves and parented the owners behavior into their own children. And the children learn from their parents behavior, and then the grown children act this behavior into their future children, and generations to come. This does NOT apply to all black folks, theres no undenying fact that there were loving black parents who treated their kids the opposites of how white people treated them, because no adult, no child, no people of different skin should experience what they did with their oppressor. Not only slave owners but even when slavery ended, it's also probably racist people after slavery ended years ago that drilled this ideology to young black people

Now this abusive parenting among the black community can be weaponized to stigmitize, demonize, and generalize black people by racists that these people are aggressive, out of control, beings and it's in their nature that they can't control their anger, even towards their children. But like i said in the second paragraph, white people can also be abusive to their children. But people only care about what excuses their bigotry. Considering black people are already seen as aggressive by racists, not knowing these behaviors are from being in an oppressed community because of racists...

But either way, hitting your kids, especially spanking or anything is not the way to discipline them. It only makes them fear you, they do not respect you, respecting isn't earned by fear no matter if you think it is, they are afraid of you. They will not know how to regulate their anger because you taught them that way.

Gentle parenting is important, before say ANYTHING! Gentle parenting isn't being spineless to your child and letting them do whatever they want without discipline.

the discipline is natural consequences (a child purposely drops their snack, you tell them that they will not getting those snacks again until they learn that it's innappropiate to drip food purposely,let them learn and apologize, children will do certain acts to see their parents reaction, because they do not know when things are right or wrong).

be confrontive to them (asked why they did that, keep confronting them if they try to make excuses, if they start crying do not stop, you can comfort them but still explain to them because what they did is still bad and tell them to not do the same mistakes, and keep going until they own up to their mistakes.)

Calm your tone (your voice, you do not have to baby talk them, talk to them in a calm but assertive manner, try to understand them but do not let your understanding to be weaponized either, keep reminding that what they did is wrong. And learn.)

But either way that's what i think...idk what i was gonna go w this because it's hard to explain...sorry if i made it sound very odd...this is stupid, my fault. This isn't me making excuses for parents who are black being abusive, this is me trying to understand why and how parents in the black community are more highlighted than the rest of the group...idk man..

TADC Caine and sibling! reader headcanons

WELL GUESS WHO IS AN AI!

You.

I wonder if you're also a talking pair of dentures! Or some other type of bone?

You and your brother's relationship is... Complicated to say the least, both of you are unhinged ringmasters but you take it a little too far.

While he keeps things the way he does, you tend to go for the more dangerous adventures, more reckless more distressing etc etc

Everyone prefers Caine to you, they can opt out of adventures with Caine, BUT WITH YOU??? they don't have a choice

Caine disapproves because the adventures are supposed to be fun and entertaining but you don't care if they're entertaining, just fun, for you.

So you two tend to disagree

Whereas Caine isn't seen during the adventures, you are.

You're always watching, always around.

You aren't bad, not at your core but you tend to force everyone into things and get annoyed when things don't go your way, and tend to take it out on others, you can't REALLY hurt them but you can throw em'

If Jax destroys something he wasn't supposed to he gets thrown into a wall, If Jax bullies anyone when they're all supposed to be getting along, he gets shot out of a cannon, if he threatens someone he gets-

If Jax does anything you choose violence.

You and Caine tend to bicker and fight but on the occasions you two team up??

Very whimsical, very organized, and for once you aren't floating around, probably vibing off somewhere with Caine, doing whatever.

I imagine you tend to be a little bit below Bubble's level.

GOOD EVENIN' FOLKS!! I DO HOPE YOU ENJOYED THESE HEADCANONS!! The fourth episode of the amazing digital circus drops later today and I cannot wait! As always thank you for tunin' on in and I hope you have a wonderful night!

[andhumanslovedstories]

To the extent you feel comfortable sharing ofc - why do you need a mouth reconstruction? Is that something dental insurance doesn't cover?

Best of luck for your recovery <3

I have a combination of very weak enamel and furious teeth grinding. The combination meant that my teeth were sheered down until the enamel was gone. I was down to just the dentin underneath, which means my teeth were only going to start eroding faster. Multiple dental providers were saying that I was on track for dentures by fifty. I was super cold sensitive on one side, and I had a tooth pulled on the other side due to a botched root canal, which meant there was no way to comfortably chew many types of food. It was affecting what I’d choose to eat, and buddy I do NOT need more obstacles to eating. And just aesthetics-wise, my teeth’s appearance didn’t bother me enough to pay this much just for them to look better, but I didn’t love that they were permanently yellow and that my face was losing height due to how small my teeth were.

(I’m convinced my prosthedontist and my dental surgeon were both more bothered by the aesthetics of my mouth than I was. My surgeon literally said, “I bet you were pretty insecure about your teeth before this, right?” And I was like “ummmm not really?“ and he was like “really? I mean good! But please understand they look so much better.”)

So I got gum surgery and a base for a dental implant installed several months ago, and now I’ve got temporary crowns in which are actually these connected blocks of teeth that I need special floss to take care of.

They’re So Big and So White.

And tomorrow I get my permanent crowns which should look and feel like real teeth! And then after that I get fitted for a mouthguard to prevent me from wearing the new ones down to nubs as well. (You can use an over the counter mouth guard for grinding, which is what I was using while I was buying time to get my teeth fixed. I’m getting in custom fit in the hopes my jaw will be less sore when I wake up. Any mouthguard is better than no mouth guard if you’re a grinder though, trust me. Save yourself the enamel and the money.)

Speaking of money, I’ll be super blunt: in total, I paid about $8000 for the gum surgery and implant, and $36000 for almost entire mouth of new crowns (I’ve only got two original teeth left). Insurance covered a little over half the surgery fees and like $2k of the crowns. (My insurance will pay for up to 50% of the price of a crown every two years, and I need about twenty crowns all at once, so. Yeah.) I investigated going to Mexico or Canada to get the work done, but ultimately my dental situation is complicated enough to require coordination of multiple providers and regular check ups over many months. It was going to be to complicated to arrange that internationally, plus travel and lodgings, to be worth the diminishing amount of money I would save. I do think I could have gotten all this work done for cheaper, but I’m not sure if it actually would have been something I followed through on. And basically, the sooner I get this work done, the better in terms of face shape and teeth migration and all that, so I was like “fuck it let’s go,” so here we are. In twenty-four hours, I’ll have a brand new mouth.

On what age range does Stan regress? And also what type of agree gear does be use? Just politely asking as a fren :3

Yes! Thank you friend for the ask! There’s going to be more coming this way because I’ll have entirely too much time on my hands in the next few days! So please enjoy this too!

Can you guys tell what book I apparently really like?

I don’t think there’s a solid age he regresses down to, like consistently, I think it’s around the 2-5 mark, unless something happens or he’s feeling extremely distressed, then he regresses down younger. Which, in that case, means he HAS to have someone take care of him. Which is probably going to be Ford, he’s the only one he can really trust to care for him in the way he needs when he feels that young.

As for gear, it depends.

If Fiddleford is his caregiver (and even though this would be in the early 80s we are going to be anachronistic. This is fiction we can take liberties) then he’s getting at least one pacifier. Fidds probably made it for Stan so he doesn’t mess up his teeth even more, and he probably made it to have a cute little nickname spelled out. I like to think Fidds uses food/southern nicknames for Stanley when regressed, so think something like “Pumpkin” or “Junebug”. He does have his “Poindexter” plush that he’s had since he was 19, but Fidds does win him a really big Duck plush when the fair comes to Gravity Falls. He has some sippy cups because he has a tendency to tilt the cup all the way up and pour his drink all down his face and clothes. He really only has some footie pajamas for when it gets to be winter up there. It’s not easy to come by someone who will custom make clothes in gravity falls, especially nothing like the kind of clothes Stan wants. So he mostly settles for some softer clothing with fun designs and patterns. Nothing vibrant that’ll hurt his eyes. Sweats and grandma sweaters mostly. Fidds makes sure he has a lot of paper and coloring books with as many crayons and markers as he wants. He loves to color and draw. He also has some blocks, a lite brite for when the lights needs to be off so his eyes can rest, play doh, and fighting robots to name a few. He has a few story books that Fidds will read to him. Fidds wants to spoil him, but he knows that he can’t buy Stan everything he wants to, so he does what he can (for now…)

If Ford is his caregiver (we’re doing Grunkle Ford for now) then he is going to do his best to spoil Stan with all he wants as much as possible. From buying stuff online (the internet is marvelous!) to making/inventing it. Ford’s got Stan enough pacifiers stashed around the ship and later shack to have a different one every day. He’s getting Stan sippy cups of all kinds of patterns and designs. it’s easier than cups for him if he’s got dentures since he likes to take those out. He’s got one bottle for the times he’s feeling extra small. He’s got some nice and warm footie pajamas for when they’re in the Arctic, and some lighter ones for more general use-sometimes his brother just needs a lazy day where he can wear what’s basically pajamas. Those kinds of footies are going to be the kind that are animal themed with the ears and tails-Ford thinks they’re so cute. He’s also got some nautical themes pajama sets for the summers spent in Gravity Falls. That’s not even accounting for all the soft handmade sweaters Stan’s got from Mabel that he wears-his favorite having dinos on it-and the soft pants and shorts he feels more comfortable wearing now that his secrets out in the open. I’ve already mentioned Poindexter, that’s a staple for any kind of regressed Stanley, and I mentioned in a few posts Shanklin 2, the stuffed Opposum Ford gets Stan after finding out he’s barely got any Little stuff. He will give Stan all the toys he had back in Jersey and all the toys he’s ever wanted. Legos, blocks, slinkies, playdoh, etch n sketches, fighting robots, hard to break tea sets, coloring books, fancy crayons (This is art, it deserves the best!), anything Stan looks twice at really. He goes a bit overboard, but he’s just trying to make up for all the years he’s missed out on. Also Goodnight Moon, can’t forget that book. That’s Stan’s favorite out of the multitude of books Ford reads to him.

Now if it’s just Stan regressing by himself? He only allows himself the bare minimum. He has Poindexter, an old onesie he allowed himself to buy a few years beforehand, and old and worn pacifier, some crayons, coloring books, blank paper, Ford’s old coat that he likes to wrap around himself when he misses him, a sippy cup, and Goodnight Moon. He feels guilty letting himself indulge. He feels ashamed to be acting like that, a child, to be needing his paci and sippy cup, even in the privacy of his own home, even though he can’t help it. So without anyone there to tell him it’s okay, he doesn’t allow himself to indulge or to spoil himself like he is when he’s being taken care of.

Rbs are off because I don't want this to take too much attention from more important things. But I currently only have 4 teeth left on my upper mouth- have been saving up for almost 3 yesrs now for a tooth implant bc I don't want my entire upper row of teeth to be just dentures;; I've neglected my dental health for years due to homelessness and perpetual poverty in the global south.. and because my parents are both very disabled... and because of a fear of the dentist. I currently have two jobs- one is industry work, and the other is doing commissions. I swear on everything I am working as much as I possibly can, but for the past few days my mental health has been very very bad, and I've not been able to work as much as I usually can. I'm nervous because I was not able to draw anything for patreon this month, so am rushing to work on both patreon, and my other two sources of income / workload. A few days ago I collapsed, and ended up hurting my lower jaw / cracking my tooth and experiencing significant paint. I would absolutely love to go to the dentist this month or next month. Hopefully I will just open commissions once I finish the batch I am working on, but atm I just.. I don't have the time or strength or health to draw as fast as I can. I have a tipping jar.. and maybe if you guys like my art, maybe you could send me a small tip. I'm sorry I've not been able to draw of late; I've not had a single proper/ planned day off since August. Thank you for reading, and please stay safe.

Are minors allowed to interact? I wanna make sure since I don’t see it anywhere—

There are multiple reasons as to why I don't have anything mentioned on my blog.

For once, I am not the Internet Police. Tumblr allows younger people on its platform, so my main responsibility is to mark 18+ content as such. Everything that happens afterwards is out of my hands. Besides, I was a teenager once; hard to believe, I know, but still. I am realistically assuming that a lot of the "not a minor" blogs are, indeed, minors. If it's so easy to type in a random age, what's the point of using it as law?

Secondly, my blog is not exclusively NSFW. A lot of my posts are more or less general audience, so it's not like you're entering an intercourse-galore cave of decadence and debauchery.

Last but not least, there's many toxic corners of the Internet who'll gladly accept minors. So, you know, in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather you giggle to some lewd joke than scroll through BestGore, for example. I'm talking from experience. You will notice from the people frequenting this blog that regardless of content, it's a safe, accepting space for everyone. Thus my door will always stay open as a counter to less favorable online environments.

I guess my only request is that you keep direct interactions with me in the PG-13-ish realm. So no "Hello I am 15 and I was wondering what you think of monster peepees <3" ...Otherwise you are free to reach out, I don't bite - not since the grandma dentures, anyways. 😔
