Urgent Dental Care: Why You Need an Emergency Dentist
Life can be unpredictable, and dental emergencies are no exception. oral problems can strike at any time, whether it's an unexpected oral infection, an abrupt pain, or a shattered tooth from an accident. In moments like these, finding an emergency dentist becomes crucial. You need fast, reliable care to avoid further complications, and having a skilled emergency dentist in Harrow can make all the difference.
Why You Need an Emergency Dentist
When faced with a dental emergency, it’s vital to seek treatment from a qualified emergency dentist who can provide immediate care. Waiting to see your regular dentist may not always be an option, and emergencies can worsen quickly, resulting in more complicated and expensive treatment.
An emergency dentist Harrow offers the advantage of flexible hours, specialised services, and a quick response to alleviate pain and address the problem effectively. With their expertise, they can assess the situation and determine the best course of action to help restore your oral health.
What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
Not all dental problems require emergency treatment, but some certainly do. Common dental emergencies include:
Severe Toothaches: If you're in excruciating pain, it could be due to a cavity, abscess, or a cracked tooth. Pain that doesn't subside requires immediate attention.
Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth: Whether from a sports injury or an accidental fall, a broken tooth or a tooth that's been knocked out is a serious situation. Swift treatment can sometimes save the tooth.
Infections or Abscesses: If you notice swelling, redness, or pus around your gums or teeth, it's crucial to see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Abscesses can cause severe complications if left untreated.
Lost Fillings or Crowns: A lost filling or crown may cause discomfort, and without it, your tooth is left vulnerable to further damage or decay.
Immediate Treatment and Pain Relief
One of the key reasons to visit an emergency dentist in Harrow is the immediate treatment they can provide. Whether it’s giving you pain relief, stopping bleeding, or providing a temporary fix, an emergency dentist’s primary goal is to stabilize your condition. Often, they can perform procedures that your regular dentist might not be able to do on short notice, such as performing a root canal, treating an infection, or even extracting a tooth.
Moreover, waiting too long for treatment can make the problem worse, leading to more invasive procedures later. For instance, delaying treatment for a tooth infection can lead to the spread of bacteria, resulting in a severe systemic infection that requires more extensive care.
Invisalign i7: A Quick Fix for Your Smile
For those who already have an orthodontic treatment plan or are considering straightening their teeth, the Invisalign i7 system offers a quick, discreet solution. Designed for mild cases, this treatment works faster than traditional Invisalign and can be a great option for addressing minor tooth misalignment. If you’re undergoing treatment and experience any issues, your emergency dentist in Harrow can also help ensure your Invisalign treatment continues smoothly during dental emergencies.
The Role of Complete Smiles in Your Urgent Care
At Complete Smiles, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful, and getting the care you need quickly is essential. Our experienced team is committed to providing prompt, effective, and compassionate care, whether you’re facing a painful toothache, a broken tooth, or need help with your Invisalign treatment.

pairing: alpha!steve x alpha!bucky, alpha!steve x artist!omega!reader x alpha!bucky (poly) - omegaverse!au pt. 3
word count: 4k
summary: “Honey,” Bucky sighs wistfully, falling into your embrace while Steve stands behind you with his arms around your waist and helping you not fall over under Bucky’s hulking frame. You don’t mind though, you’d happily die by being crushed under their weight if it meant you could touch them, and have them touch you. Caressing you, kissing you, adoring you the way only they can. And despite your earlier hesitation, you wouldn’t pass up the chance to brighten up your Alphas day for anything. And their grateful kisses and pleased rumbles let you know that you did just that.
or - your Alphas take such good care of you. their mere presence brightens up your day, so when your Alphas have a rough day you take it upon yourself to show them how good of an Omega you can be, that you can provide for them too.
warnings: 18+, mild suggestive thoughts, i apologize to ur dentists bc there’s so much fluff it might give you a toothache, omega is very shy and awkward but steve and bucky are fond and patient, fluff, kissing, tw for steve using 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, tiny bit of hurt/comfort, bucky needs some lovin’
a/n: this is dedicated to the loml @buckysbarne and @buckysprettybaby who also helped beta <3

“Babe -“ Bucky sighs, his head hanging low and hands clenched into tight fists. “I’ll be okay.”
Steve huffs, walking up to his boyfriend and wrapping one arm around his Alphas waist, cupping his cheek with his other hand.
“It’s okay, she’ll understand,” Steve whispers softly, leaning forward and placing a delicate kiss on his mate’s forehead before pulling back and guiding Bucky to look up at him. He quickly dips his head to kiss Bucky’s lips.
“What if she doesn’t?” Bucky mumbles, shame and embarrassment flooding his body.
Why can’t he just be normal?
The day started horribly; Bucky woke up at around seven in the morning from a particularly harrowing nightmare. He hasn’t had one of those in a while, so it was very unwelcoming. This one, unlike other nightmares he’s had, was terrifying in a way he’d never felt.
He knows they’re gone, that Hydra and its agents have been obliterated, but that doesn’t mean Bucky doesn’t occasionally get anxious over the ‘what ifs’ of any potential harm Steve could go through should Hydra get him.
This ‘what if’ manifested in the form of you getting captured too. Even if he and Steve haven’t mated with you yet, they both know in their bones that you were crafted by any gods that exist to complete them. And the thought of you and Steve getting taken from him is far worse than anything Hydra could ever do to him.
Steve had to shake him awake, and he hadn’t been able to stop crying long enough to explain what had happened. After ten minutes of shaking and sobbing into his mate’s chest, he was finally able to articulate the horrifying images that now plague his mind, Steve had held him close, and he had kissed his cheeks and forehead and hairline, all while cooing words of affirmation and love.
The day only got worse from there. After the dream, it started with small things; he burned his hand while trying to make coffee - then spilled the coffee all over his favorite shirt. He ran out of his shampoo and had to use Steve’s - and, listen, Bucky is fully convinced that he survived Hydra because the universe wanted them together again, but Steve could definitely use some better shower products. The whole ‘two-in-one’ thing just doesn’t cut it for Bucky.
But then they had to meet up with their teammates for a briefing over a mission that Bucky is really not excited about, and found out the original one-day mission was going to be three days. Three whole days without you? Luckily Steve is coming with him, but then he thought about you being without both of them and started getting anxious. Now, even though you all haven’t been together for long, and they both know you can handle yourself, they detest the idea of leaving you for an extended period.
They’d managed to sneak in a few texts to you. Wishing you a good day at work, sending heart emojis when you send them a picture of a cute dog you saw while walking to the studio - Sam and Natasha spent a long time trying to get the men to understand modern language - and sending you pictures of them while they were too bored to listen to Tony talk.
But then they went to a coffee shop intending to grab their coffee and rush back to their apartment to get a few things so they could pick you up from work and take you to the new ice cream shop that opened up a few blocks from your studio. Dark clouds came rushing overhead while they were waiting for their drinks, and they decided to wait out the storm in a corner booth.
But people were staring, giving them - mainly Bucky - nervous glances, and a few people at the table next to them ate quicker than someone usually would and then placed a wad of cash on the table before rushing out.
Suddenly the idea of getting ice cream doesn’t sound so appealing.
Steve noticed because he’s so attuned to his mate that he knows Bucky is dejected, Bucky is hurt, he’s tired. Tired of people still judging him. Tired of being accused of things that he had no control over. They didn’t stay long, deciding that getting soaked while racing home was better than being in a place that’s now making Bucky feel unsafe.
Bucky’s been fighting with himself ever since they got home and changed out of their wet clothes. He wants to spend time with you more than anything, and you’ve been excited about this date ever since they told you, and Bucky will be damned if he doesn’t give you anything you want. But he really doesn’t think he can handle being in public right now.
His body is hurting with how bad he’s trying to force the negativity out of his mind enough so he can enjoy being with you, but it’s hard. And Steve telling him that you’ll understand that he can’t go out breaks him. His fists clench tighter.
Bucky wants to be normal for you. He wants to go out with his mates and not get worried about getting less-than-friendly looks at the three of you.
“I’m going to call her,” Steve says calmly, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend and pulling him in tight while Bucky’s body starts to shake with how badly he wants to cry. “I’ll call her and I’ll tell her that you’re not feeling well, but we’ll go to her studio tomorrow for lunch. Okay?”
Bucky takes a deep, shaky breath before nodding, trying his hardest to not blame himself when he imagines the look on your face as Steve tells you they have to cancel. Steve kisses his mate's forehead and then untangles himself so he can get his phone.
It doesn’t take long for you to answer, and Bucky can hear your chipper “Hi Stevie!” and suddenly he wants to cry harder. He also hears Steve telling you that Bucky isn’t feeling well and that they’ll come visit you tomorrow. You go quiet for a moment before asking Steve to pass the phone to your other Alpha. And when Bucky mumbles, “Hey, honey,” he knows you can hear that he’s holding back tears.
“Hi, Alpha,” Your sweet voice immediately fills him with warmth, images of your smile filling his head. “You’re not feeling well?”
“No,” Bucky clears his throat, trying to force himself to not feel bad about it. “I’m really sorry, honey. I promise we’ll make it up to you.”
You pause, and suddenly Bucky is worried that you’re mad. But before his mind can spiral into more negative thoughts, your voice - soft and shy - asks if he’s home. And when he tells you that he is, you simply say “good,” and then hang up.
Well, fuck. Bucky tries to convince himself that you’re not upset, but Steve can see that it’s not working well. And at his boyfriend's suggestion of a nap, he trudges upstairs, lying down in bed and wishing upon every star in the universe that you’ll forgive him.
____________
When you heard that Bucky wasn’t feeling well you immediately thought of the worst. Is he sick? Well, that doesn’t make sense, he’s a super soldier after all. Is he hurt? That’s a possibility, their jobs are tough.
Does he… not want to see you? As soon as that thought crosses your mind, you dismiss it. Bucky and Steve have shown over and over that they like you and want to be with you. The word ‘love’ flashes through your mind but you dismiss that as well. It’s too soon, right?
No matter what’s actually going on, you know you need to make him feel better. As soon as you hung up the phone you gathered everything you needed to make apple pies. But then you faltered, what if he doesn’t like apple pie? Well, you have things to make brownies, and you know both Alphas love them. So you took out everything needed to make brownies with the intention of bringing them over when they were done.
But then a thought popped up. Would they even want you in their house? There were a few times when you told them they could come inside your apartment while you finished getting ready for a date night, but they politely declined. You hadn’t thought much of it at the time, but now you’re worried you might be crossing a line.
You’ve just put the mixture in the oven when you decide that you’ll just drop them off and then leave. You don’t want to make them uncomfortable, especially since Bucky isn’t feeling well. While the brownies cook, you run to your bedroom to change into somewhat presentable clothes. You don’t bother getting all dressed up since you’re not going anywhere but your Alphas’ place, and even then you won’t be staying long.
By the time the dessert is done and put into a container, you’ve talked yourself in and out of going several times. Finally, after several minutes of having a mild freak-out, you gather the courage to gather your things and get in your car.
The entire drive has you a little on edge, though you know you have to do it. Not necessarily out of obligation, but because you want to make your Alpha’s happy. They’re always doing little things for you; buying you new plush blankets, getting you food on their way to visit your studio, Steve had even given you a sweater that both he and Bucky regularly wear - fully knowing and hoping you’ll use it for your nest.
Those men make you happier than anyone else ever could, you relish in their praise, your whole body lit up in flames whenever they get all sweet on you - which is all the time, neither man can resist kissing you, hugging you, telling you how you’re the sweetest Omega to ever exist.
They make you happy, and you will do everything you can to make them happy too. You want to be the perfect Omega for them, to show them that you can provide for them too, and that thought is what fuels you to park outside of their house and gather everything.
Your confidence wanes when you get to the front door, anxious again that the Alphas would be upset that you came over. You don’t even get a chance to think about leaving because the door opens wide, and Steve stands there with a smile.
“Honey,” He says, giving you that same longing gaze he always gives you. His eyes travel down to the container you’re holding, his smile growing wider while you cast your eyes down to the floor nervously. “What is that?”
A part of you wants to laugh, you know his heightened sense of smell can already figure it out. You don’t though, you merely shuffle on the porch nervously.
“W-Well I - um… I know Bucky isn’t feeling well, and I wanted to drop off some brownies for you guys.” Your eyes suddenly go wide, a small panicked noise leaving your lips. “Which I just now realized is probably not a good thing for Bucky to eat right now.”
You kind of want to smack your forehead. You were so focused on trying to be helpful that you didn’t even think of what would actually help Bucky feel better. Sensing your growing panic, Steve hums softly, reaching out and taking the dessert from your hands.
“That’s really sweet, honey,” Steve purrs, transferring the container to one hand so he can take your hand in his free one. “Thank you.”
An unexpected squeak leaves your lips, warmth filling your body as you squeeze Steve’s hand and smile up at him shyly.
“Y-You’re welcome, Stevie.” Your voice is soft, nearly indiscernible except for your Alpha with his advanced hearing. “Um, just… I guess you can text me later and tell me how they taste?” It’s phrased as an uncertain question because you don’t want to make him feel like he has to, but you desperately hope he does. You need their praise more than air.
“You’re not staying?”
That question has your head snapping up so you can look at him directly, your eyebrows furrowed in confusion as you take in his equally confused gaze.
“I - um. I guess I just thought you wouldn’t want me to. I mean, you never want to come in my house, so I just figured you wouldn’t want me in yours.” Your voice comes out shakier than you’d like, and the hope that he’d invite you in is creeping up. “Which is fine! You - you don’t have to, and I don’t want to make you guys uncomfortable, especially since Bucky isn’t feeling well.”
Steve sighs, his scent souring a little as though he’s disappointed, and now you’re anxious over possibly saying something wrong. But when he senses your growing panic, he tugs on your hand until you follow him inside. And immediately, the aroma of both Bucky and Steve’s scent calms you down.
“Of course we want you here, sweet Omega.” Steve smiles at you again, pulling you further into the house until you get to the kitchen not far from the entryway. He drops your hand so he can place the food on the counter. The Alpha quickly moves toward you, wrapping you in his arms and pulling you into his chest. Plush, soft lips land on the top of your head, and they linger there for a few moments.
As though he sensed your arrival, Bucky comes rushing into the kitchen with a wide smile.
“Omega,” He says, walking toward you and Steve with purpose so he can wrap around you too.
“Our sweet girl brought us some brownies since you aren’t feeling well.” You can hear the smile in Steve’s voice, and they both release their hold on you so you can turn around and face Bucky.
Bucky goes silent, and when you place your hands on his chest you can feel how his heart rate picks up. And after a few moments of simply staring into your eyes, his smile softens, his body relaxing.
“Oh, honey,” Bucky sighs wistfully, falling into your embrace while Steve stands behind you with his arms around your waist and helping you not fall over under Bucky’s hulking frame. You don’t mind though, you’d happily die by being crushed under their weight if it meant you could touch them, and have them touch you. Caressing you, kissing you, adoring you the way only they can. And despite your earlier hesitation, you wouldn’t pass up the chance to brighten up your Alphas’ day for anything. And their grateful kisses and pleased rumbles let you know that you did just that.
“Thank you,” Bucky mumbles into your neck as he presses soft and chaste kisses to the area. “You’re perfect.”
You can’t help the nervous chuckle that passes through your lips, nor can you stop yourself from shaking your head, immediately trying to deny it. While you love praise, specifically theirs, you don’t really feel like you deserve it sometimes. How can these two perfect Alpha’s possibly be interested in you? You’re not too sure why they like you, but you try not to think too hard about it. You don’t want to overthink everything and spiral into self-doubt, which would then lead you to sabotage the relationship, and you absolutely don’t want that.
“I-It’s nothing, really. I just want to make you feel better.” Your voice is small and shy, and you cast your eyes downward when Bucky pulls away from you to look at you with such intensity that it makes your entire body go warm. Your heartbeat speeds up when Steve steps back too and moves so he can stand beside Bucky and look at you directly.
“It’s not nothing, baby,” Steve sighs, reaching out and placing a large hand on the back of your neck and turning your head upwards so he can hold your gaze, and it’s absolutely impossible to suppress the shiver that runs down your spine. Oh, how you want to feel his hands on… other parts of your body.
“It’s thoughtful,” Bucky adds, lightly squeezing your hips. “We mean it; thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” You say softly, smiling at both of them and reaching out to place your hands on each Alpha’s chests. In a quick and bold move, you lean up on your toes to place a gentle kiss on Steve’s lips, then move over to Bucky.
Bucky, however, decides a single peck isn’t enough. Steve keeps his hand on the back of your neck and angles your head so it’s easier for Bucky to slide his tongue along your bottom lip and take advantage of your surprised squeak by slipping his tongue into your mouth. He swallows your little gasps and sighs, snaking his arms around your waist to pull your body flush against his.
The intensity of the kiss comes to a halt when Steve’s stomach rumbles. You and Bucky break apart with breathless chuckles, turning to look at Steve’s sheepish expression.
“Sorry,” He laughs, sliding his hand from your neck to the side of your face, and he smiles wider when you nuzzle and kiss his palm. “We haven’t eaten since this morning.”
“I can cook for you!” You say quickly, surprised with yourself by how fast you were to offer. You’re not the best cook, but depending on what food they have you’re pretty sure you whip up something presentable. Plus, your inner Omega is just aching to please them.
“You don’t need to do that, honey,” Bucky says, stepping back but keeping one hand on your back. “We can just order something.”
“Please?” You ask softly, smiling up at him and using the fact that he can never say no to your pout to your advantage. “I want to.”
Both men sigh, fully knowing that they could never deny you anything you want. So, they both nod, stepping aside so you can go to their fridge.
“You can just make something easy, it doesn’t matter to us.” Steve kisses your forehead, then smiles as he turns to look at Bucky while you go about finding something to cook. Pulling him in close, Steve quickly kisses Bucky’s lips and murmurs, “Told ya she’d understand.”
____________
“Told ya she’d understand.”
Steve chuckles when Bucky playfully shoves his elbow into his Alpha’s stomach. And Steve absolutely cannot stop himself from kissing Bucky again. And one more time. He can’t help it though, Bucky was feeling so awful earlier, and seeing his genuine smile and sparkling eyes fills him with happiness.
“Shut up, punk,” Bucky mumbles with a playful roll of his eyes, wiggling out of Steve’s hold so he can go sit at the kitchen island. Steve follows him, muttering “jerk” low under his breath as he sits next to Bucky.
The two men sit side by side, both with love-stricken gazes and twinkling eyes as they watch you flit around the kitchen happily, grabbing things here and there. They aren’t too sure what exactly you’re making, but it starts smelling good in no time. But the underlying scent of happiness coming from all three of you is what really strikes Bucky’s heart.
And in no time at all the food has been finished, and you make sure to pile their plates full of the food.
“I know spaghetti is boring, but I added a few spices so I hope you like it.” Your voice is soft and shy as you present them with their plates, and your rapidly beating heart showcases your nerves. You’re desperately hoping they like it - maybe praise you a bit for taking care of them.
“We’ll love it,” Steve says quickly, getting off the chair and walking up to you with a wide smile. “We’ll love anything you make us, honey.”
The squeak you let out makes both Alphas chuckle, giving you such soft gazes that makes you want to bare your neck to them in submission. With that, Steve and Bucky take their food and guide you to the couch in the living room, being careful as they sit down while Bucky pulls you into his lap.
They take time eating, occasionally feeding you despite your assurances that you already ate before you came over. They don’t care though, because they’ll be damned if they don’t dote on you for making them feel better.
And when the food has been eaten, Bucky gives you a glare when you offer to do dishes. “You’ve worked hard enough, honey,” Bucky tells you, wrapping his arms tighter around you to keep you in place.
It’s at that moment that Bucky realizes that this, the three of you under one roof, on one couch, is what home is for him. With you in his lap and Steve cuddled into his side, he knows that he’s the luckiest guy in the world, how can’t he be? He has his Alpha; the greatest love of his life, and you; the sweetest Omega to ever exist who’s teaching Bucky how to be happy in ways he never thought possible.
He doesn’t even realize he’s crying until you make a slightly distressed sound, your hands coming up to cup his cheek.
“Buck?” Steve coos, bringing up a hand so he can run his finger through his mate’s hair. “What’s wrong?”
Bucky sniffles, shaking his head as he wipes his eyes, then takes hold of one of your hands so he can kiss your knuckles. He smiles, so soft and sweet and innocent, smiling wider when Steve presses a kiss to his cheek.
“It’s stupid,” Bucky says with a quiet huff and shrugs. “I just… Today was shit, like, awful. And I’ve been happy all these years with Steve by my side, but other than right now, the only time I can remember feeling this happy was when I was finally reunited with him.”
Bucky briefly glances over at Steve, giving him that soft and adoring look he always gives him, then looks back at you and holds your gaze.
“You make me happy, Omega.”
Your eyes go wide, a soft gasp escaping your lips. Because, while you don’t know everything about what’s transpired in their lives and relationship, you know that it must be a pretty big deal for him to say this. And it fills you with a feeling dangerously close to love, but you can’t help it. Bucky’s been through the depths of hell and back, and he deserves everything good in the world. And you being able to give him some of that goodness just makes you want to cry.
“You-“ You cut yourself off, clearing your throat to suppress the waver in your voice. “You make me happy too. Both of you.”
“Good, Omega,” Steve purrs, reaching across Bucky to give you a tender kiss.
And when you break away from Steve, you turn to give Bucky a kiss as well, and Bucky? Well, Bucky is pretty sure (re: totally confident) that he loves you. He knows Steve does too, which makes everything easier. Knowing that they’re on the same page about their feelings for you gives him reassurance that maybe this could work out.
He wants to mate with you, he wants to be with you in every way possible. And when you pull away and smile at your Alphas with that sweet and tender way you always do, he thinks that maybe, just maybe, you want that too.
So who can really blame him when Bucky asks, “Will you mate with us?”
From next to him, Steve doesn’t visibly react, though his heartbeat speeding up and the flush creeping up on his face tells Bucky that he wants that too - they’ve also spoken about it in length, so he knows he’s not just speaking for himself.
All the two men can do now is wait for your answer with bated breaths. It comes only a half of a second later.
“Of course.”

GOOGLE SEARCH: HOW TO TALK TO OTHER DADS REDDIT
Lavernius Tucker and Oliver "North" Dakota are two single fathers forced to brave their most difficult challenge as a dad yet: making small talk with other parents. Not many survive this harrowing ordeal, but the bonds forged through this traumatic experience create lifelong friendships. Or, perhaps, even something more...?
A modern single dads Tucker/North AU written for @rvbrarepairweekdos Day 3: AUs. Warnings for discussions of sex/masturbation, but no actual sexual content.
I don't know why I wrote this, either. I don't even ship this. I suppose the wheel compelled me...
Also avaliable to read on Ao3.
***
“Sooo, uh, what do you… do with your time?"
“Oh, I’m a pediatric dentist.”
“No, I know that, I meant, uh,” This sucked. Tucker had zero things in common with these parents at this School for Gifted Children that had scouted Junior earlier this year. Most of them barely gave him the time of day, but this guy, Oliver Dakota, was insistent on staying the entire time his kid was hung out with Junior. After multiple false starts, Tucker shamefully ducked away for a second to look up ‘HOW TO TALK TO OTHER DADS REDDIT’ and found, “I meant, what do you do with your free time?”
“Oh,” North smiled warmly at the other man, then looked back to the door to Junior’s room. Left open a crack— he would have preferred it to be open all the way, but Lavernius had insisted the kids be given privacy. He seemed like a genuine and nice man, if a little awkward. North appreciated him and Theta being allowed into his home. Still, he wasn’t that interested in talking; compromising on the door meant he needed to keep a closer ear out for if Theta needed him. “I don’t really have much free time. With a kid and work, it’s like two full time jobs. But it’s all worth it for Theta.”
“Right.” God, this guy was giving Tucker nothing. Every single topic went back to Theta. And Tucker loved his kid, but being a single dad meant so much of his life was already dedicated to him. If he was talking to another adult he at least wanted to talk about something adult for once. “You gotta do something with your time, though. You into sports?”
“Haven’t really kept up with any lately. Theta was on the soccer team when they were younger, but we’ve decided to focus on academics in middle school.”
“Okay… Watched any good TV lately?”
“I mostly just catch snippets of whatever cartoon Theta has on.”
“……..Do you play games?”
“Oh, Theta had me join them in playing a little farm game— what’s it called, star, starting… ‘Starting Farming?’ No, no, it’s definitely ‘star’… ‘Starry Farmy?’”
“Stardew Valley?”
“That’s it! Do you play it? It’s very cute.”
“Yeah, uh, not, really my type of game. What about stuff you do without your kid?”
“Ah,” That was kind of a strange question. Most conversations North had with other parents were all about their kids— mostly trying to constantly one up the other’s accomplishments. To ask about things that he did without Theta? Why did he even care about that? “Well, I read alone?"
“Awesome! What are you reading?” Tucker didn’t give a shit about books, but he would grasp onto literally anything this dude was offering.
“Mostly child psychology books. Though lately it’s been a lot YA novels. I try to read things Theta is interested before they do so we can have discussions about them. And to make sure there’s nothing too inappropriate for their age.”
Tucker was stunned. This guy could not be serious. Was everything about his kid? “Don’t you do things with your friends?”
“Ahh,” North’s smile got a little tighter. “We had to move away from my hometown a few years ago; the schools there weren’t great for Theta, and then they got accepted here…”
“You haven’t had friends for years?”
“I have friends.” North was taken aback. What kind of person asked something like that so bluntly?
“But you don’t spend time with them.”
“I… see them often enough. When I visit home. For the holidays.” North didn’t know why he felt so defensive over this.
“Do you…” Tucker hesitated, not wanting to overstep with a guy he barely knew but also fucking floored at what this dude’s life seemed to be, “do anything for yourself that isn’t about your kid?”
North balked. “Of course I do! And, the- this question is flawed. Taking care of Theta is something I do for myself.”
“You can’t just only live for your kid, dude. There’s shit you gotta do without them.”
North twitched a little at the swear word. “There’s nothing I want to do that I would need to exclude Theta from.”
“What about sex?”
“SHHHHH!!” North panickedly looked over at the door, “Lower your voice if you’re talking about that!” He half yelled, half whispered.
“Dude. Does your kid not know about sex yet??” Tucker asked, not lowering his voice even slightly.
“Of course Theta knows what sex is!” North said, still whispering. “Teaching age appropriate sex education is incredibly important to a child’s understanding of their own body and safety. Theta knows exactly what leading child psychologists recommended an 11 year old knowing.”
“Okay.” Jesus Christ. This dude needed help bad.
North frowned. He could feel the judgement coming from Lavernius. Other parents always thought they could butt into situations that didn’t concern them. “I do not need your input on how I take care of my child.”
“I don’t care about how you take care of your kid, man, I care about how you take care of your you.”
“What?” North had no idea what he meant by that.
“Have you had sex a single time since Theta was born?”
“What?!” Seriously, how could he just ask something like that?
“You know what, not even sex. When was the last time you jerked off? Please tell me you’ve had an orgasm in the past decade.”
“This- this is a highly inappropriate conversation to be having with our kids in the other room” North had no idea how they ended up here, but he desperately wanted to move on.
“Not even once?”
“I don’t want Theta to overhear this conversation.”
“They’re playing a game, they’re not gonna hear, trust me. Kids don’t listen to their parents talking even when you want them to, they don’t give a shit what adults say to each other.”
“Theta listens to me.”
“Uh huh.” They needed to move away from the topic of their kids. Tucker needed to help this man. “Listen to me, man. I need you to do something for me.”
“What?”
Tucker grabbed him by the shoulders and looked him in the eyes. Or at least, he tried to. God, this man was way too fucking tall. And actually looking into his eyes— Jesus, they were piercing. Tucker didn’t think this kind of blond hair blue-eyed motherfucker actually existed. Terrifying.
“Tonight, when you go home, once you do whatever weird nighttime ritual you do to put Theta to bed,” Oliver started to make a noise in disagreement but Tucker pushed past it, “I need you to go to your room. I need you to be alone. I need you to get comfortable. And I need you to jack off.”
North had no fucking idea how to respond to that.
“Trust me. I have a friend, his girlfriend died, right? And for like a year afterwards he was so fucking miserable. Until one day I was like, ‘You NEED to blow off some steam, if you know what I mean. Bow chicka bow wow.’ Next day he was like a new man.”
“I don’t. know.“ North thought there were probably some other reasons his friend may have been miserable, there.
“I know, you’ve been out of the game, you don’t know how to find good porn. I got you, I’ll send you some.”
“I wasn’t—“
“I got you.” Tucker was already pulling out his phone, thinking of some good beginner porn he could send Oli’s way. “What are you into? You seem kinda vanilla but sometimes vanilla looking chicks are into the weirdest shit, y’know?”
“That’s— I don’t— this isn’t— I’m. Gay.” That wasn’t really something North tended to share with other parents, but they were so far outside of the kinds of conversations he tended to have anyway, any normal ways to respond had completely left his brain.
“You’re—” Tucker looked him up and down. Huh. Maybe he should’ve been able to guess that. “Uh. That’s fine. I have gay shit I can send you.”
“You have gay shit.” Right. Okay. North was pretty sure he just swore for the first time in years. What the fuck was happening?
“Yeah, y’know, I’m… uh, it doesn’t matter what I am. But I can get whatever you want.”
“Okay.” Okay. North’s brain was starting to catch up to where they were. Was Lavernius… flirting with him? Was this what flirting was now? He was so lost.
He should probably set a boundary.
“I… do not want you to send me porn.”
“Okay,” Tucker said, putting his phone back in his pocket. “You got it handled yourself?”
“Yes, I,” North let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, “I can handle myself.”
“Good. ‘Cause the shit you were saying before was sad, man. I know we barely know each other but, c’mon, single dads gotta have each others backs, right?”
“Yeah, um. Thanks.”
“No problem.” Tucker smiled at him.
North liked his smile.

STOP AND LISTEN! A Palestinian Family Needs Your Help!
Alaa and her family have been suffering for a year now. They narrowly escaped the bombing of their home, during which they were trapped inside and surrounded by snipers.
They have been displaced multiple times since, and now live in harrowing conditions. Due to scarcity and skyrocketing prices (which, after losing their jobs, are completely unsustainable), they have been forced to eat weeds and animal feed. They have also been effected by the diseases in the tent camps; many of them have suffered skin diseases and Alaa's daughter Maria has contracted hepatitis from the bathrooms.
In order to help her family survive and rebuild, Alaa is trying to raise €100,000. So far, she's only raised €18,473.
Please help her and her family in any way you can. Donate if you're able and share their campaign. Everything helps.

Photo
Jimmy Sime, 'Toffs and Toughs'
It's actually a nice picture, but it's hopelessly posed. Also, the title is made-up, and the only person in it who is still alive (one of the boys on the right) no longer wishes to be associated with it for the simple reason that he isn't and never was a "tough".
This picture has been produced again and again over the years by Marxists (both the ideological and the de facto sort), who hate Britain and hate tradition, as some sort of piece of killer evidence that Britain has (or had, before the Second World War) some sort of terrible "class system".
In actual fact, yes, this picture is hopelessly posed, and the only difference between the two sets of boys is that those on the left had parents who were rich enough to send them to Harrow* and the others, were pupils at the local Church of England school who had take the afternoon off to earn a bob or two by helping out at Lord's Cricket Ground. And far from being "toughs" they were perfectly respectable, working-class English lads who all went on to live long, full and (compared with those of the two Harrow boys) happy lives.
Again, the only real difference nowadays (because I don't think the school uniform at Harrow has changed very much) would be that the boys on the right would be of a different race.
And that of course is the main way in which Britain is now a more divided society than it has ever been before - just not in the way the latter-day Marxists of the media Establishment would like us to think.
So, leaving aside that nowadays the boys on the right would be just as likely to be beaten up for being "posh" (not to mention English and white) as the boys on the left would have been back then, the photograph is hopelessly posed and the title itself is both misleading and probably no older than 2004.
In fact the boys on the right are not "toughs" but pupils at a local Church of England school. They'd taken the day off school for a trip to the dentist and then decided to earn some easy money by helping out at the Eton-Harrow cricket match that was taking place at Lord's that afternoon. Sime has clearly, er, solicited their aid for his photograph (presumably for a small fee). And given that nice young Anglican boys would generally have been discouraged from walking around with their hands in their pockets, he's presumably also instructed them to adopt the poses their holding to look as if they're quietly masturbating. The two Harrovian* boys though just happened to be standing at the gate at the time waiting to be collected by one of their parents, and by all accounts they were persuaded to pose for the camera with neither their parents' consent nor any financial emolument.
The picture is of course well known in England, and a good example of indigenous English leftist propaganda - that is to say the lies we like to tell ourselves. It was first published in the 10th July 1937 edition of the News Chronicle, a leftist newspaper that later merged with The Daily Mail (which of course by modern standards isn't even considered leftist). The screechy agitprop caption read 'Every picture tells a story'.
The real "story" of the photograph - of the tragic fates of the two "toff" boys and of the long, happy, normal lives of the "toughs" - is now freely available on line thanks to dear old Wikipedia.
*Not Etonians, as countless hopeless American editors have stated, as if it were true.

The DEFINITIVE POWER RANKING: The Alien franchise
As ever this list is legally binding, and objectively correct. If you find yourself in disagreement with it, you need to know that's ILLEGAL! I'll have my dad 20th Century Fox throw you in jail.
If you want to just count the Aliens films:
Alien
Alien 3
Aliens
Alien Romulus
Alien Covenant
Prometheus
Alien Resurrection
If you count the Alien Vs. Predator movies:
Alien
Alien 3
Aliens
Alien Romulus
Alien Covenant
Alien vs Predator
Prometheus
Alien Resurrection
Alien vs Predator Reqiuem
I want it to be known though that I like every movie on these lists, just to varying degrees. This isn't a Halloween list situation where I go from the good ones to the ones I hate. I would recommend basically any of these.
Explanations:
For the longest time I wasn't super wild about this one. It was good, but I always held the sequel up as the better film. Rewatching it however I appreciated it a lot more. It went by very quickly, even if the first half is a bit slower paced.
I've just always enjoyed this movie. Again, when I was a wee little baby 8bit I liked Aliens better, but I always held a special fondness for Alien 3 in my heart. I thought it was always so cool how the prisoners tried so hard to fight the alien off in melee combat, and I really like the downer ending of Ripley diving into the mystery lava pit at the end. I always thought it was cool how she held the chestburster in place while taking the plunge.
I loved the violence, and the guns. I still love this movie, but my admiration for it has diminished somewhat because of a particularly harrowing dentist's visit I had once. I had the brilliant idea to watch Aliens while still reeling from a mixture of intense facial agony and probably too much painkillers. Still though, great movie, and well worth watching to see what every sci-fi game stole from it.
This is such an extremely fascinating movie to watch. It sort of defies explanation, because it is an extreme pleasure to watch this movie. It is extremely unsubtle, and it has so much going for it. Then the movie hits one hour, eleven minutes, and seventeen seconds. It's like a switch gets thrown, and it just turns into such complete unadulterated garbage it took my breath away. I highly, highly recommend seeing this movie yourself. It is wild.
I admire this movie for the sheer gall it has to be so completely baffling. It's like they took the criticism leveled at Prometheus and course corrected so hard it basically sailed over a waterfall. Michael Fassbender is an utter delight, and I love the Neomorphs. I hope they have the gumption to complete the David trilogy. I really do.
It's just kind of boring. It's worth watching just to see the Predators get owned super hard.
It tries so hard. It's funny how they have so many human characters in this movie that it just does nothing really with most of them. I like the squid monster, and the c-section operation was legitimately hard for me to watch. The sudden turn of the Engineer becoming a slasher villain to kill our protagonist was pretty funny just for how abruptly that ends.
Even young teenage 8bit didn't particularly care for this movie. The monster stuff was pretty neat, I always thought it was silly watching that one guy fall for the really obvious alien trap and die. I like the way the actor who plays the evil doctor plays him, and Ron Perlman is always a treat.
The one thing I always will remember about this movie is the scene where the Predalien impregnates the pregnant women in the hospital with the chestbursters. The sheer amount of gore is downright comical, so that's pretty fun.
Just for fun, if you count Predator in with these movies:
Alien
Alien 3
Aliens
Predator
Prey
Alien Romulus
Predator 2
Predators
Alien Covenant
Alien vs Predator
Prometheus
Alien Resurrection
Alien vs Predator Requiem
The Predator
Fucking awful movie.

I am so proud of tooth fic and I love it for so many reasons but to be honest one of the biggest ones is that researching and writing it really helped me conquer a lot of my medical fears like now I'm in the dentist chair straight chilling bc a) I know exactly what's happening bc I've watched a billion tooth dissection/operation videos and b) I can think about harrow and how she would eroticize what's happening. LMAO. I told the dentist I like to know what's happening 😇 so he would describe all the steps but he doesn't know I'm doing research for nasty fanfiction 🤪
#the only downside is i hate being numbed bc it takes away my main pain seeking stim chewing my cheek :(#its actually sort of funny how dissatisfying it is without the pain like lol i do be stimming. i do

HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:
🤔 What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?
🤡 How many wips are you actively working on?
thank youuuuuuuu!!!!!
Harrow!! 💕💕💕
What's a story you'd love to write but haven't even started yet?
So, I have this concept for a Norse mythology AU with Rapline as the Three Norns (Yoongi as Urd, Hoseok as Verdandi, and Namjoon as Skuld) where Reader has somehow cheated fate and is confronted by the three as they attempt to avoid the consequences MC's actions might wreak on space, time, and destiny. I haven't started writing it, but the concept came from a scene I scribbled in my notes in the waiting room at the dentist. I'm going to include the scene below because I'm a slut for sharing my stuff lolol. 🙈❤ I don't know if I'll ever get around to writing this, but I love the idea of it.
How many WIP's am I actively working on right now?
Make Me, All I Haven't Said: Ch. 3 Parts II & III, Blame Me Ch. 2, Under the Hunter's Moon (WTMS drabble)
So...four. I have a stack of WIP's but my New Year's writing resolution was to finish all my current fics in publication before starting anything new!
Thank you so much for the question Harrow!! Ly!! 💜💜💜☺️☺️☺️

i'll listen to some version of some album for good measure not even so much as dutiful research as "yeah i liked the music haha yaaayyy" and i just am generally like "listening to the music what in the?" so knocking back any album is like, probably me firing up the goosebumps the musical phantom of the auditorium original screen cast recording playlist again, hell yes
anyways what i remember. first of all you understand that for a while all i Really specifically knew about little shop, beyond that it existed and had a joie de vivre & je ne sais quoi & the plant, was that there was the dentist song. thanks to marble hornets (that i knew even this). and i knew Just this. so for a good decade i've at least been able to hum the chorus to myself like (be a dentist) you have a talent for causing things Pain (pain!) and i love a bicuspid lyric usage, don't tell joe iconis (imperfect rhyme)
amazed when i did hear it like i've never heard this titular song?? it's so fun. i guess i wouldn't have unless i was experiencing little shop of horrors. but now here we are like i sure remember that one. i also really enjoy The Sound of the chorus of some fun now, both the melody and prosody of it. likewise so high energy and catchy and that juxtaposes so humorously with recalling our montage of rick moranis pouting while getting sucked (the '80s gum lsoh movie novelty stickers ranked by rick moranis's sex appeal text post scrolls by at half opacity while i voice over "a tremendously boneable ricky m") which brings me to one of the most memorable parts of the feed me song being like okay really long list of "what is going on in lsoh metaphor wise (speculated or stated as intended Or as interpreted): for one, sex with the plant" like i do truly appreciate that list just as i truly appreciate someone making a post about which rick moranises are hottest in the vintage gum stickers
i saw indeed the "this is kind of sing speaking as i remember? does it count?" number seems to indeed be a song, da-doo? which works out b/c i sure recall enjoying the doo-wop style backup echoing that sing speaking, speak singing. and of course it being really funny and itself just so B movie and lord like of course choreographed in acting And cinematography and that's so powerful in juxtaposition like grabbing directors Make Your Movie Musical Have The Movieness Work With The Musicalness anyways thanks frank oz obviously. and speaking of being able to see it, is it somewhere that's green that has that like Surburbia Fantasy sequence because that was soooo fucking funny lmfao they crushed that thank god. annnnd. suppertime sequence standing out being so like No Jokes ominous & harrowing for a scene? great to have that, greatly executed. umm he sure Does look like plant food to me, is another musical moment i remember even as that was earlier and of course i remember it due to Effect like exactly, i'm there. it's like the elevation and method of expression that is A Song has effect and it pwns
umm. i mean this is turning into like "what's Everything i remember" but as i especially remember like i do recall any of the movie's required whole new closing number, as stated like also love how there's just plenty to forever pace about mulling over they die, they don't, compare, contrast, i sure don't mind having Both, or all the more opportunity to Juxtapose as much & muse. umm oh my god yeah suddenly seymour like i'm missing some big one huh. t4t happy pride. can you believe little shop had small joe iconis immediately love Musical Theatre or can you believe that for real rick moranis was just There on closing night of joe's broadway debut musical that also is a great and obviously lsoh esque musical and it was just a coincidence? he was just there? and there was already that picture of him (rick) and will when he (rick) was visiting deh and it's like ooh That's giving father & son, will roland seymour krelborn when WHEN and it's me and even as i post this i'm not That familiar with the show in the least (only seen the film once or twiceish, never a stage production) and yet. and later completely coincidentally rick moranis walks on in to closing night of broadway be more chill (chill da-doo) and later than that. finally will roland seymour krelborn. mwah

Logan Charles and Dentist! from Little Shop of Horrors!
what song do you think would fit for Medli and or Redbeard?
Oh yes, Dentist works for Logan so hard (I also made Atlas listen and they also approved). I had actually only heard this before in a different character playlist (and only part of it), but honestly yeah, now it is about Logan!!
Medli is one of two OCs with a character playlist! Said playlist is a mess of just vibes but her character song I think is most her(TM) is When I Grow Up from Matilda
https://open.spotify.com/track/6i2S5zq6JY7TQp26N7Kb7E?si=eczABWLNTOyNpbo1jifPWQ
Very particularly I associate her with the second part with Miss Honey and Matilda which I kind of see as Medli just leaving the college and running away vs her slightly older now more confident about having her own life outside of what Clarissa tried to force on her. The school setting also just works really well for her.
But so seriously "When I grow up I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you need to fight beneath the bed each night to be a grown-up" is a set of lyrics I will never stop associating with Medli.
Redbeard, the original comic relief man that has massive guilt about his dead sister leading to harrowing angst blorbo (how is that list at three off the top of my head now). I have always heavily associated him with a lot of my sad boy musical songs, though right now my brain is pretty settled on Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from Les Mis.
https://open.spotify.com/track/54DkuNM2cLPdWDeHN3tswB?si=SfWWc_n6RnaiLYP7jRJwCw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2Ppz0JOBTXzAM60aMI5Ul2
He just is the man that ends up the soul survivor surrounded by the ghosts of his friends. He is the man stuck trying to figure out what the sacrifice of everyone he knew was for. (People can pry my Ianitee Les Mis associations from my cold dead hands, they are all the dead French revolution boys)

How should you respond if you experience dental anxiety?
One of the most frequent problems that many people have while thinking about seeing the dentist is dental anxiety. This fear may originate from several things, such as bad experiences in the past, a dread of pain, or a generalised uneasiness about being in a medical environment. To prevent any decline in your oral health, you must take proactive measures to alleviate dental anxiety if you are experiencing it. This post will discuss easy-to-complete methods for overcoming dental anxiety and improving the manageability and enjoyment of your dental visits.
Recognising Dental Anxiety
For dental anxiety to be effectively addressed, it is imperative to recognise the symptoms and indicators of the condition. Frequent signs include anxiety, elevated heart rate, perspiration, and skipping dental visits. Prompt intervention is made possible by early recognition of these signs. Additionally, dental anxiety can have a real impact on oral health since people may put off getting important treatments and jeopardise their teeth health.
Coping Strategies
1. Communication with the Dentist:
Establishing open communication with your dentist is the first step in managing dental anxiety. Inform them about your concerns and fears, allowing them to tailor their approach to make you more comfortable. Like those at Complete Smiles, a dentist in South Harrow can provide personalised care and understanding.
2. Relaxation Techniques:
Incorporating relaxation techniques can significantly alleviate dental anxiety. Deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation are effective methods to calm the mind and body before and during dental procedures. Practising these techniques regularly can build resilience against anxiety.
3. Gradual Exposure:
Gradual exposure to dental settings can help desensitise individuals to the anxiety-inducing environment. Start with short, non-invasive appointments and gradually progress to more extensive procedures. This gradual approach allows for a sense of control and familiarity.
4. Sedation Options:
For individuals with severe dental anxiety, sedation options may be considered. Discussing these options with your dentist can help determine the most suitable approach for your comfort and safety.
Preparing for the Dental Visit
1. Schedule a Consultation:
Before committing to a full dental procedure, schedule a consultation with your dentist. This allows for a discussion of your concerns, a tour of the facility, and an opportunity to build rapport with the dental team.
2. Bring a Support Person:
Having a trusted friend or family member accompany you to the dental appointment can provide emotional support and comfort. This additional support can make the experience less intimidating.
Alternative Approaches
1. Hypnotherapy:
For some people, hypnosis helps reduce dental anxiety. The goal of this treatment is to induce a relaxed condition so that patients can more easily tolerate dental procedures.
2. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy:
An evidence-based strategy for treating anxiety is cognitive-behavioural therapy or CBT. A mental health practitioner with training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can assist in determining and addressing the underlying causes of dental anxiety.
3. Virtual Reality Distraction:
New technologies such as virtual reality have the potential to divert attention from dental operations. Certain dentist offices might use virtual reality experiences to create a less scary and more engaging atmosphere.
Pediatric Dental Anxiety
Compared to adults, children frequently have distinct experiences with dental anxiety. To guarantee a good experience, paediatric dentist offices have a kid-friendly strategy that includes creating a warm environment and including parents in the procedure.
Seeking Professional Help
Consulting a Mental Health Professional: Consulting a Mental Health Professional can be helpful if your dental anxiety is severe. They can investigate more profound problems causing the worry and offer coping skills for sustained alleviation. Under the supervision of a medical practitioner, medication may be recommended in extreme situations.
Long-Term Oral Health Maintenance
Establishing a routine of regular dental check-ups and maintaining positive oral hygiene habits is crucial for long-term oral health. Consistent dental care, coupled with the strategies mentioned above, can help individuals manage and overcome dental anxiety effectively. When seeking a dentist in North West London, choosing a reputable practice like Complete Smiles becomes integral to ensuring not only excellent oral health care but also a supportive and understanding environment.
Conclusion
A proactive approach, patience, and open communication are all necessary on the journey to overcome dental phobia. Through the application of these techniques, people can turn their dental encounters into constructive and controllable experiences. Selecting a dentist in South Harrow or North West London, such as Complete Smiles, may improve the whole dental care process and guarantee that you don't have to deal with needless tension or anxiety.

For the writer's truth and dare game: 🦷
🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on:
learn proper time management.
like, i get it, this is incredibly hard for some people, and that's completely valid. but if all you do is figure out how to break down different tasks, put them in different boxes, prioritize them, and then lay them all out on a calendar of some sort, you are going to love yourself so much. the amount of stress i have avoided simply by taking 20 minutes to break everything down and put it all together is insane.
the other life hack i would swear on would be to simply time up your horrible chores with happier things. I almost always try and do/put away my laundry whenever i am chatting with my bestie Monday nights. if i need to cook, i listen to some cheerful music. basically, make chore time fun. you used to do it when you were a kid, why stop now? listen to fun music, or a podcast.
OH and also, never underestimate the power of "small treats". Just had a harrowing appointment at the dentist? go buy yourself a yummy doughnut. Just had a stressful job interview? go treat yourself to some discount makeup at TJ Maxx. reward your shitty experiences with nice ones (and no, they don't all have to involve buying things, that's just what works for me. you can reward with watching a nice movie, or eating something yummy.) There is no use going about life with only negative experiences. You need to reward yourself for getting through those negative experiences.
And tying back to the time management: i cannot recommend a Pomodoro timer enough. It kinda ties all of these things together. Work your yucky chores/job for 30 minutes. Then take a 10 minute break, maybe with a small treat. Do that cycle 3 times, and you've earned a Long break, which I usually make last 20-30 minutes. You can find a pomodoro timer app online, but you can also just make it up yourself.
