Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #100

This will be my 100th generic letter to you. Imagine that! Assuming you can hear me somehow, we've been on a very unorthodox journey for a while now, no? How marvelous!

I spent some of today checking on my epoxy spheres. It needed a few small adjustments. I made another mess. But I'm feeling pretty good about how these are gonna turn out, and I'm looking forward to showing the finished spheres to you very soon!

I spent the bulk of today writing up descriptions for various items, though. I'm pretty excited about it, actually! But I can't tell you what it's for; sorry about that. With any luck though, my intentions will become clear in maybe a decade or so, assuming I can maintain my focus and my faith in my own efficacy. I suppose we'll see.

Along the way, I made myself a couple mugs of jasmine green tea! I was surprised, though, to find that we were out of milk. I improvised with whipped cream for the first cup, and ice cream for the second cup!! And I gotta say, these were THE BEST improvisations!! 11/10 stars, absolutely would recommend! I'll show you a couple pictures!!

At 4pm today I went for my orthodontics consult. I went to go see an orthodontist because I've got some weird jaw issues on my right side because of the way I gotta move my face when I try to chew things. And also, my dentists have been bugging me about getting orthodontics done for the last couple years, because there are certain teeth in my face that can't be cleaned properly because they got confused and wandered off, presumably to chase butterflies.

I was hoping that I'd be able to get away with using Invisalign to avoid needing to get teeth removed, but… well… the fact of the matter is that I simply do not have enough jaw to work with, and I am WELL beyond the age when things like palate expanders would work. So 4 of my teeth need to come out in order for the inside of my face to be aligned properly.

…And this really fucking sucks, because if my parents had given even a fraction of a genuine shit about me, this ALL could have been prevented. My jaw could have developed properly with upper and lower expanders. I could have avoided the crowding and the overbite and the crossbite and the resulting damage to my jaw joint if this had been taken care of like it should have been when I was a little girl. But, no. Instead, my parents were too busy being in denial about the fact that they wish I was not born. So here we are.

The reality that is, "because of my parents' negligence, I now have to get body parts removed and pay lots and lots of money because insurance doesn't cover it past a certain age" is just… fucken… it's WILD, man. Admittedly, I'm struggling with it. And I'm struggling with the resulting VERY angry thoughts. But that's okay. I can feel angry. It's allowed. And thoughts are just thoughts - passing noise that is not reflective of who I am or who I wanna be:

…I can make use of my coping skills. The technique outlined in the video above is one of them, and I make ample use of it on a near-constant basis.

Admittedly, I don't really understand why we can't just use the Invisaligns to scooch my molars back to where my wisdom teeth used to be (I thought being able to move teeth backwards was the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT, but I could be mistaken, so whatever). But I forgot to ask. I'll call them up tomorrow and find out.

Anyway. Wanna see my skull? And my weird-ass teeth? Of course you do. Why not. But I'll put it all the way at the end, after the part where I put my name, just in case you don't. Hahaha…

…Ya know… Sephiroth… admittedly… some days I get real tired of this meat-mech I'm piloting. I've got a host of rather unpleasant genetic issues. The defective collagen thing sucks; it impacts literally my whole body. The misshapen skull thing sucks. The misshapen eyeballs and misshapen lenses thing sucks. There are other things - lots of them; it'd be a long list if I wrote 'em all out. I'm really not gonna be sad when the one I've got can't clunk around derpily anymore. But I'm not gonna rush the process, either; I've got shit to do - I've gotta make sure someone I love is safe, even if it might take me a long time to get it done.

But ya know. Maybe when it's time to go get a new meat-mech, maybe by some small miracle, I'll get to visit you for a bit until it's time for me to cycle into something new! Tell you what - if that happens, I'll bring you some matcha ice cream or something, okay?

For now… I'm gonna get back to writing up lists and descriptions of items; if you're not gonna make sure you're safe, then someone's gotta, and if someone's gotta, then I might as well, right? I mean… what else am I gonna do while running around confusedly in a capitalistic hellscape on a dying planet? Aside from eat cheese directly from the refrigerator like a weird little goblin, anyway…

I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

P.S. Weird pics of my skull and teeth below, if you wanna see!

final invisalign update: retainers

okay, in my last post about my teeth, i was scheduled to get my attachments and buttons off. my mouth was SO DRY 😰 the only way to get the material off is to file/drill it off, which makes so much dust, more dust than you think. and i had to rinse my mouth like 4 times before it felt like we got all the dust out. but once that part was done, my teeth felt surprisingly, normal. when i mentioned this to the assistant she said, "it is surprising! it's because the attachment material isn't bulky, like brackets are." and that really made sense to me.

then my orthodontist came over, looked my teeth over to make sure all the material was off and then he did the final filing. evening out my teeth, it's called "hollywood" where they take off the sharp tips and such. yes, i could've said "no, leave them." but him filing the sharp tips off it actually fixed the incisor that was missing the corner. he filed them so they were even. it was really just on the top, and i think if i had asked, he could've also filed my incisors to be sharper, but i'm okay with them looking even and not sharp bc at this point, my incisors wouldn't be sharp anyway, they would be worn down anyway.

after that, i got scanned for my retainers, we did after pictures and x-rays. then it was time for the big reveal, i was shown my new teeth for the first time! i was very shocked at how they didn't look too different, since i got to see my teeth the whole time, BUT she showed me my before pictures and wow! i didn't think my bottom teeth were THAT bad and i didn't think my front tooth was sticking out that much, but the pictures don't lie. anyway, after that the staff came over to congratulate me 😁 i got a box of goodies that i wasn't allowed to eat when i had my invisalign.

at my wednesday appointment, i got my retainers! they were tight, which meant my teeth had started to shift and it wasn't that long from the time i didn't have a tray in, to when i got them (about 72 hours total), which motivates me more to wear them. for anyone who doesn't know, your teeth continue to shift and move throughout your life, even after braces. so when your orthodontist gives you a retainer, you wear that shit for the rest of your LIFE. my retainers are clear, like my invisalign trays, but a much sturdier material. my bottom retainer is currently different, made of a heavier material to make sure my bottom teeth don't move at all. the assistant explained that they've noticed when they don't use this material for patients that have a lot of initial crowding with invisalign that the teeth still shift back a little even with a retainer, so they use this heavier material for the first 8 weeks and then change to the standard material.

speaking of, i wear my retainers 24/7 for 8 weeks, except for when i'm eating and drinking anything that isn't water. i go back in july for a retainer check-in to make sure my retainers fit properly and if my bottom teeth are doing good, i'll get a new bottom retainer that's the same material as my top retainer. i'm not sure if i'll have another settlement period for my molars yet, but i'll find out in july! but if all goes well, i only have to wear my retainers at night after that. and i'll continue to wear them at night, every night until my orthodontist tells me otherwise.

for now, this is my final update and the end of my invisalign journey. it was fun, informative, and surprising! i also want to say, it's never too late in life to get braces or to get your teeth straightened if you want! i am so in love with my teeth now and i can't stop smiling. i was actually scrolling through my instagram and before getting my invisalign, i never smiled showing my teeth. my final pics of my teeth after these appointments are the first pictures on my instagram where i'm showing my teeth. and even when i send snaps now, i smile with my teeth showing. i wouldn't say that my straight teeth have boosted my confidence, but i am so happy with my teeth now, i can't help but show them off!

anyway, i hope you have a good week! make good choices, stay safe out there, and stay hydrated my friends! 🩵

OK, this is for ToE and I don’t know if you if you can come up with something with it, but did any of the kids ever have to get braces and if they didn’t, did they get Invisalign later on in their adult life? I just started my Invisalign journey and today is the first full day and my mouth hurts. 

I always pictured Riley having braces. And I feel like she hated them with every fibre of her being. Kids can be cruel, so it’s probably no surprise to you or Rooster that Riley comes home from time to time in hysterics because some kids have been calling her names.

“Little punks,” Rooster hates when his children are made to feel like they aren’t worth the world. “They’re just lucky Riles won’t give up their names or so help me god I’ll—“

“You’ll what? Big guy?” You chuckle as you hand your husband a cup of tea. Bradley takes it kindly with a sigh. “I’ll talk to her teacher at drop off tomorrow, there’s no need to go throwing kids around.”

“Plenty of kids have braces! I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal,” Bradley groaned in frustration as he took a small sip of his tea.

“You know Jake had braces growing up?” You decided to test your husband’s stance. The raised eyebrow said it all. “Yeah, I had to fix a few of his wires in the metal room a few times so his dad wouldn’t beat the shit out of him for being too reckless.”

“What a nerd,” You don’t mean to, but tea spills out your nose at your husband’s comment. But it proves your point.

“Let me handle Riley’s situation, you big bully.”

Send me a concept ToE
