Not Wanting To Look Stupid In Front Of A Superior (professor, Boss, Etc) Who Just Explained Something

I think one thing a lot of people miss about drifting stars au (and other such aus where mabel gets cut off from her home dimension) is that she has braces.

Let me explain. I had braces put in in 2018 with the expectation that they’d come out in 2020. Then 2020 happened and i felt like it would be rather unwise to go to a place where someone tinkers with your mouth during a literal plague. Sooooo they stayed in, untouched, for a WHILE. I eventually started going again (and still needed adjustments for several more months!) I think sometime in 2021? I can only be glad the shutdown happened during one of the milder phases.

Back to mabel. Unless she has the time/money and finds someone with knowledge of human dental care, she’s stuck with those braces as they are for the foreseeable future. Which depending on the version, could be years. This will alternate between annoying and painful.

Also, just removing the wire doesn’t really help! Because of reasons, there were a few days where i had the brackets but no wire. Without the bands and wire, the brackets are SHARP. My lips were mad at me until the wire got replaced. Not only that, but the lack of the pressure feels really weird if you’re not used to it.

Anyways this has been my rant on what it feels like to have braces left on for way too long. Enjoy!

Im having sad doorkeay thoughts about this and i dont know if i will elaborate on this or not but if i do it will be in the form of a 1k+ word fic published at 3 am on a random tuesday

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.

Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.

just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

Martin would be genuinely horrified by my tea tastes.

Let me tell you how i make my tea. I boil water, pour it in the mug with the tea bag. So far so good.

And then i forget it exists for a half hour.

Result: lukewarm tea (sometimes reheated in microwave), steeped half to death, no sugar or milk. And i LOVE it.

if a werewolf dies but they were an organ donor does someone get a new kidney that turns into a wolf kidney once a month

Sad to announce there’s a new kind of spambot, basically an account that likes your posts. The pfp is usually an attractive woman and the content of the blog is 100% nsfw.

They’re liking posts, and if i’m not mistaken, yall can see who likes my posts. Been trying to ban them as I see them, but if I miss one, i’m deeply sorry if you click on who liked my posts and end up seeing those profiles (i’m a regular “searches for other fans of my obscure interests by looking at the notes”er, so)

The thing neurotypicals tend not to understand about the ADHD brain is that it really only has two gears
