#a NEW dentist

[bee-whistler]

TIL that there are people who reach the age of 52 (and I assume older), who take no particularly special care of their teeth, without ever having had a root canal.

Since the person in question is my darling husband, I am experiencing such a stomach-churning cocktail of loving gratitude and personal envious rage.

Shhhh stealth Wip while eveyone reblogs skrimp r bugs post again

[in-my-loki-feels]

I can't stop thinking about pairing this guy:

with this guy:

Just something about the absolute goofball energy of the first, running into the megalomaniac energy of the second. I feel like President Loki would be all "I am here to rule and nothing's going to stop me!" and the Mobius variant would be confused but on board and also distracted by a dish on another table: "Oh yeah? Cool, cool, tell me more. Hey, are you going to eat that?"

ETA: I ended up writing a short thing for this idea. Adding a link here in case the one in the reblogs isn't obvious.

There is now a 4+1 expanded version up on AO3!

Huzzah! It's birthday time! I'm slowly accumulating more and more things I like (latest additions this vest I made and a travel typewriter! Still need to fix the latter one though)

Sure has been a year.

Dentist Discovers Human-Like Jawbone and Teeth in a Floor Tile

While touring his parents' recently renovated European home, a dentist spotted something unsettling. Embedded in a travertine floor tile along the hallway leading to the terrace was what appeared to be a human jawbone. Sliced diagonally, the tile revealed a cross-section of several teeth. Uncertain of the proper course of action, the dentist turned to Reddit, where the discovery ignited a frenzy of online interest, ranging from enthusiastic curiosity to sheer disgust.

The discovery has captured the attention of an international team of scientists who are eager to examine the fossil. They believe it could belong to an extinct human ancestor.

"If it turns out to be a fossil hominin, which I think it is, it should be studied and placed in a museum," John Kappelman, an anthropology professor at the University of Texas at Austin who specializes in hominid and hominin origins and evolution, said in an email.

Travertine, a type of limestone commonly used in construction due to its aesthetic appeal and longevity, often forms near mineral springs and can contain fossilized remnants of past life. While plant, algae, and even animal fossils like those of rhinos and giraffes are occasionally found in travertine, human remains are exceptionally rare, as noted by University of Wisconsin paleoanthropologist John Hawks, Forbes reported.

In a blog post titled "How Many Bathrooms Have Neanderthals in the Tile?" Dr. Hawks highlights the uncommon nature of this particular discovery.

"I expect there will be many twists and turns in the story of this jawbone," Mr Hawks wrote. "With some teeth preserved and abundant surrounding rock, I expect that specialists will be able to learn a great deal about the life of this individual and when he or she lived."

The European dentist, who specialises in dental implants, told Forbes that he immediately knew he wasn't just looking at stone tile's natural pattern variations when he saw several teeth staring up at him.

"From my dentist's point of view I had no doubt it was some kind of human," he told Forbes. "The teeth distribution and size of the mandible is characteristic. Also, the width of the cortex is specific to ancient humans."

"I don't think it is Jimmy Hoffa," the dentist joked in a follow-up to his original Reddit post. He said he prefers not to reveal his name, or his parents' location, to protect the family's privacy.

When the dentist spotted a jawbone as part of his parents' home upgrade, he was surprised for a different reason.

It is very, very unusual to find vertebrate fossils in processed travertine tile, and hominin fossils 100 times more so," Kappelman said. "We have only a handful."

Mr Kappelman was part of a team that observed the earliest evidence of tuberculosis etched on 500,000-year-old human skeletal remains discovered by factory workers in Turkey cutting travertine tile for commercial use. The scientists published the findings of their research in 2007 in The American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

"we don't discriminate based on gender" then why did you make me give you my honorifics when you didn't include mx in the options❓

[wuntrum]

can't wait for everyone to point and laugh at me at the dentist office and say haha your teeth SUCK!!! we gotta get those OUTTA THERE!! and then everyone (other patients included) are gonna chase me down with pliers and drills etc. and then hold me by my ankles and steal all my money (i think my teeth are literally fine im just scared)

I really liked your dentist Peri art. Would you mind explaining what you meant by 'fairy dentist magic?'

First off, thank you I am so happy you like my lil drawing. And of course, I am more than happy to explain the weird thoughts in my head.

Those who have seen the Dreamworks movie 'Rise Of The Guardians' will likely remember that part of the reason why the Tooth Fairy collects teeth is because they hold the memories of childhood. She then uses these memories to help remind kids of the good times when they need it.

The Fairly Odd Parents version of the Tooth Fairy does the same thing and she also uses these memories to help Jorgen with his work deciding which kids to give fairies too.

Now even though teeth that have been lost are the only one that hold physical memories live teeth (those that are still in a kids mouth) have vague thoughts and emotions attached to them.

When Peri works on kids' teeth he uses magic to pick up on these vague thoughts and emotions. He does this by using some fancy magic dentist tools that the Tooth Fairy gave him, they kind of work like an extension of his wand but are less powerful.

CROCTOBER 3/31 ‐ "Coffee"

Inktober masterpost

[salemoleander]

btw in case anyone is like 'wow Salem you've been weirdly offline, esp considering there's a new Life series':

Starting last Thursday night one of my teeth became excruciatingly painful, and the earliest I can get in anywhere for a root canal is Wednesday afternoon. Been alternating high doses of ibuprofen and acetaminophen and sleeping 16+ hours a day.

Will be very excited about this series/gaming with friends/etc once this is resolved, until then I'm online very intermittently
