i've also recently reread my old smile for me retrospective for old time's sake. i'm still super proud of it, it's probably both one of my best pieces of writing and the most peaceful way i've ever let a special interest go, but Man, you can really tell it was written before the bloom update/before i learned that transfem habit hcs were a thing lol.

A question re: the way you handle elf teeth: assuming that the multiple sets of teeth grow in slowly over time, does elf diet influence the speed at which they grow in? Or the health/durability of the new set once they are grown in? For instance, if Aredhel lost a tooth in a hunting accident but didn't damage the foundation/new growth, could she alter her diet to grow the new tooth in faster? (I assume nan elmoth would not have a cosmetic dentist in residence. )(Related: would times of privation, like the helcaraxe or the dying days of beleriand do long-term damage to the growing-in set of teeth??)

jrrt show me the dark and fucked up nan elmoth prosthodontia

ok OKAY taking with a large pinch of salt that i have never studied dentistry and performed extremely averagely in 100 level biology years ago, i think yes and yes!

aredhel eating a calcium-or-whatever rich diet to prompt faster and healthier tooth regrowth or regeneration makes a lot of sense to me, mostly because i firmly believe in the inverse—gwindor definitely lost teeth in angband, due to a poor diet as well as obvious physical trauma, and was unable to recuperate and replace them afterward; maedhros was a frequent client of the himring dentist because he just kept breaking his weakened teeth off in things (living and not) post-thangorodrim; etc.

regarding the trek over helcaraxe—during which i think the nolofinweans and their ilk were eating their horses and drinking seal blood to avoid starvation and thus not receiving much vitamin c, d, or otherwise—a lot of them suffered tooth loss and found themselves with slow-growing and very brittle replacements. i think disability and chronic pain struck the exiles quickly and in ways they didnt imagine: who would have suffered serious nutrient deficiencies in a fantastically plentiful land? certainly someone, but not a significant enough population that i think the amanyar would give a shit pre-darkening. so what do you think and do when your teeth start falling out on the ice? what is the precedent for that? is there one? were there dentists in aman? periodontists? orthodontists? or was the declining health and quality of ones teeth an entirely new experience in beleriand?

all teeth-related questions that keep me up at night

I hope you're glad to know you're responsible for Dentist! getting stuck in my head on a daily basis. Which version of the lyrics do you like best?

HAHA HELL YEAH! I’m so happy to be haunting you with that song. I'm spreading the disease hehehe!! And though it may cause my mutuals distress (Distress!) somewhere in heaven above me, I know Howard Ashman's proud of me <3 /ly

... welp, Now you’ve engaged with me so you need to face the consequences (reading my ramble). I love both versions, but the only real difference lyrically is “when I start extracting your molars, you girls will be screaming like HO-LY ROLL-ERS” vs “I thrill when I drill a bicuspid, it's swell! Though they tell me I'm MAL-UH-JUS-TED” (if I remember correctly) and honestly both those lines are probably my favorite parts of their respective songs, so it’s hard to pick a favorite. “Holy Rollers” rocks and it’s dramatic enough that I got to convince my choreographer to let me fall to my knees when I sing it, and of course I’m partial to it because it’s the stage version and I’m a stage actor plus I’m generally partial to the stage version. But “Maladjusted” is just SO CHEWY i love it I love the way it feels to say and it's so groovy and Elvis-y and I always love a line that gives even just a little more insight into the character. Then of course there's that extended version of the movie one, that I reblogged from @calliemity a while ago, which I frankly don't remember too well but I remember I danced to it in my room like a twelve year old girl listening to Katy Perry in a 2000s Disney movie, which is to say it rocked, and of course extended version just means more Dentist! and that's gotta be a plus. But, well, if I really have to choose one, I guess I would have to s ay thatj gk jkjth.e etjgtigjtr ejgejrjgiqerjqetigjqeoi irejgeriogjqeiorghkbnfjr''l;,;l;',;.l904l;erijqeiqio rojgerioqjerigjgtjgoij;b./fg;t.q;e'rtlktrger;'te[e.tttghkbbbbbbbhhhggggggggjgggbbjgghbbggghhhhhhghhhhhhhhhhhh

hate my sister's shitty good for nothing boyfriend. can you imagine being a 30yo man with two kids who won't even scramble an egg. Not for his kids, not for his girlfriend, not for himself. literally if my sister doesn't leave out pre-made meals when he's watching the kids he will rip up bread or pour them dry cereal or open a granola bar and make himself microwave dinners. like, lowest effort possible. but if i mention this to my sis, she'll be like "no he's definitely cooked for the kids! he scrambled an egg for them once! i watched him do it!" but it's like...so he scrambled one egg in the last five years. just to like, prove he can? at your direct insistence? should we all clap? like seriously. hate this guy. had to really hold back recently because he had someone over and he was interacting with the kids more than usual for appearances, and he had to keep asking me and my sis what the 5yo was signing because he barely bothered to learn his own son's primary form of communication. i was so tempted to say "that one means 'go home' but you wouldn't know that because you don't take them anywhere." so hard to hold that in. If I had to describe this man in two words they would be these: Low Effort. Not quite bare minimum, but JUST enough to convince my sister that it would be too much hassle to get rid of him. he's stupid as fuck, but just smart enough to quickly stop shit like screaming obscenities at the kids for doing normal kid things. and he once stomped on my headphones and broke them in a fit of rage, but gave my sister money to replace them so it was "fine." Like, my sister thinks that he's just struggling with his anger issues, because he had a bad childhood, blah, blah, and oh he would never actually hurt her or the kids. and like, good for you, but i don't trust like that. genuinely hoping he gets struck by lightning and dies instantly.

Why are people scared of doctors and dentists

and either comment or reblog to say why.

I don't like the dentist because it's uncomfortable
