Behind Smiles: A Patient's Nightmare with MetLife Dental Insurance

Part 1: My Battle with MetLife Dental. The Toothache that Morphed into a Financial Migraine. My fateful journey through the MetLife Dental Insurance labyrinth began in February 2023 when an everyday occurrence turned into an exasperating ordeal. I needed a routine replacement crown on Tooth 18 and anticipated no issues, given my dental insurance with MetLife Dental. As I would soon discover,…

(rotoscoping of Reigen's twirl in op3 of Mob Psycho 100)

Finally done!!!! It took me way too long and a lot of it is still pretty rough TTvTT

Here are the static twirls:

And now some process gifs for anyone interested (I exported lines, flats, and shadows separately, then added some effects in video editing):

#submas #subway boss ingo #subway boss emmet #rotoscoping #saerart #boi pls let me know if I need to add tags for content warnings #this was pretty fun and satisfying to do #it makes me want to try animating something from scratch next time but it won't be for a while because it's incredibly time consuming 😭

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

Random captive TDL au lore dump and some behind the scenes stuff since you asked so nicely :]

Dark in captivity

victim did use dark as a way to train and get the mercs and him used to the box

victim and agent (i would probably explore their dynamic in this au also, mitsi would haunt this narrative because yes)

some behind the scenes things

additional art

#alan becker #animator vs animation #ava #ava tdl #ava victim #captive tdl au #long tag warning #dark is going to have some dog/caged animal symbolism and machine symbolism #TDL is very much a problem captive also very annoying one at that #you can blame the high security one him since his constant escapes helped rocket corp to tighten their security #victim is definitely insane and he will do some incredibly messed up stuff in this au #the machinery on agent is supposed to look like it is slowly consuming him like some kind of infestation #agent has some issues as well and will be an enabler for victim #victim and agent's relationship will get some attention in this au but the main plot will still revolve around chosen and dark #chosen and dark's relationship is a lot more complex so i won't bother to summarise it all since i don't really want to spoil it #TSC will receive a bit of attention since he is still very much tied to the plot of ava #tsc does have a split personality like an alter ego that takes over when he is in danger #i dont think i would really touch on the colour gang since i think it would make the story too messy #i do have most of the story already planned out #it is just the part leading to the ending #every weapon and tech in rocket corp was tested on TDL #in a way he did help with the destruction of chosen by helping rocket corp to improve their tech by being their test subject #fulfilling his code in its own twisted way #btw the additional cage in his containment area is to temporarily hold him during the box maintainence or upgrades #it is also the same type of cage that TSC is kept in currently #the box prototype that TDL is in would probably have a different name like 'the cage'#the bars of the cage is electrically charged and it also resembles a dog cage (dog symbolism)#there won't be too much about dark during his captivity since it will be more about how it impacted the relationship between him and chosen #i would probably start posting more random lore bits every now and then between comics #i hope i stop getting side tracked when working on this au

They're an older couple who who have a very rampant, interesting, maybe perverse sex life.

Cronenberg: Yes.

Which is quite a taboo subject isn't it - older people having sex? Why did you want to address that?

Cronenberg: I'm old, and I have sex. So maybe that's why.

An interview with David Cronenberg on his debut novel Consumed

#still thinking about that posts immoral implications in acknowledging the sexuality of old people #consumed #david cronenberg #i put the book down part way through to finish something else but he really fired his warning shots right off the bat its great #freaks only #not that old people having sex is freaky but there is in fact cannibalism involved #blogging

the entirety of the cavalier and necromancer dynamic is built on the cavalier being consumed. cam and pal circumvent this by creating a sort of ouroburos where their both eating each other, together, forever; therefore creating a singular entity. because love.

#!!WARNING!! NOT SCIENTIFICALLY SUPPORTED BY LORE #this is just the way i think about it #its poetic i think. so committed so neither of them having to consume/kill/even just watch the other die #that they create a scenario where they kill and consume eah other. dying together and making themselves anew as. well. paul #together #the locked tomb #tlt #nona the ninth #camilla hect #palamedes sextus #paul

i personally think it’s so funny how amongst all the people in doltown, the main two who are vying for vani’s heart and have reciprocation ( or a form of it ) is whitney and the fuckass doctor, harper.

like whitney is self explanatory, i’ve went into depths, details of their dynamic. meanwhile, vani just started bothering harper for simply blackmail & a way to get deeper in the cult besides just being reliant on avery. which, if i had a nickel for every time vani fell hard for what started as a bit, i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.

#. // ♡ 🌱 txt #like the thought first implanted in my head when i joked to ethel about vani seducing harper to get lili an invite to the parties #and then it stuck #and then the spoilers warning: lore tidbit in game about harper being a previous patient of the asylum #and how they lied their way to becoming the town’s new doctor #like vani using that over harper’s head when she finds out #and its just sex & degradation play at first #and vani like turning off her feelings for harper bc she knows harper would claim her to others with pride #meanwhile harper who is gaining feelings quick and fast but has to act normal because vani is a patient #which if you are asking: to what aspect of harper could vani fall for?#she likes that harper is very intelligent!! and knows what she does and follows on her lead!#she also likes that harper doesn’t shame her for what she does with her body #like they do when talking with others in town but vani knows harper is LYINNG and furiously jacking it when a new vid drops on the hub #and also because they are very much consumed in passion over her which is like! wow!#sidenote also of kylar and harper having similar obsessive love thing going on but #kylar who kidnaps her says she loves her and then gets pissed when vani is being abused #harper who subtly hints to wanting to kidnap vani to the aslyum but wants her to be evil mean and slutty as ever #i have more in my mind but i need to stop rambling

I hate when people are like "I already didn't like xyz so it's not difficult for me to boycott it unlike those loser customers that actually Liked the thing which I could never understand bc I was never a customer uwu" bc like. That literally isn't boycotting lmao. That is just Never Being A Customer In The First Place, which means nothing actually.

Boycotts are primarily about applying pressure (or completely making it impossible to operate) via financial/commercial/economic impact. AKA it's about money and capital.

If you already weren't spending money on a product/franchise/company, then you were already never part of their sales data, and you just doing nothing & making absolutely no change to your daily life and just continuing to not be part of their sales data as normal, has literally no material impact. You were already never a factor. The people who WERE customers & WERE part of the sales data & ARE withdrawing their money from those sales figures actually ARE making a material impact.

"Supporting" something isn't about vibes or thoughts or feelings or you telling your best friend how much you like a thing, "support" in a meaningful sense is specifically material. It is financial. Refusing to continue supporting something means taking the money you were previously spending on it & putting it elsewhere. If you were never spending money, you were never supporting it, and therefore it doesn't make any difference if you continue to not support it. Boycotting is something CUSTOMERS and CONSUMERS do.

SO STOP FUCKING BRAGGING ABOUT IT & STOP MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE BOYCOTTING FOR "EVER LIKING XYZ TO BEGIN WITH" & STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE IDEA OF HOW BOYCOTTING WORKS LMAO sorry for capslocking I remembered I was annoyed

I just hate this low-morale mean-spirited bullshit some people do in the notifs on boycotting info posts where they arbitrarily moralize about something they just don't understand so they can pat themselves on the back for doing literally literally nothing AND inadvertently spreading misinfo in the process. Be quiet. Go do something that matters. There are plenty of posts going around, including from Palestinians themselves, with lists of references for how to help Palestine & other similar causes for people currently in crisis, please please do something For Real instead of boasting online about your fandom superiority complex as if it means anything.

#txt #It's annoying but more than that it shows that you have no desire to understand how meaningful action actually WORKS #You are not DOING anything you literally have no right to try to demean ANYONE who actually IS.#anyway just saw a comment on a post that annoyed me. I'm normal again sorries.#Like I'm a comics fan but I HATE the MCU so I was never going out and watching MCU movies anyway #I can't “boycott” CA4 bc I was never a customer to begin with. That's just me not watching another movie like it's a regular day.#But I CAN spread information about the boycott in hopes that people who might be actual consumers will see it & decide to boycott #& I can do that without insulting them bc if they're boycotting then they are engaging with more material action than I am on that issue.#But like it's not even really the insulting I care about so much as the “bragging about doing nothing (& spreading an incorrect idea of how #boycotting works in the process)” that actually bothers me most #BE WARNED THIS IS NOT A WELL-THOUGHT OUT INFORMATIONAL POST OR ANYTHING #so I may have worded things dumb/awkwardly bc I'm frustrated and I didn't like Plan Out this post #I made it on the fly in 5 minutes after getting annoyed about something I have seen enough times to be frustrated about it #coincidentally this whole post also doubles as me explaining why piracy isn't a real crime #it's a fake crime made up by people who care about Theoretical Money They Could Maybe Have but has no basis in material reality

I fear that Alfons's route will be just as emotionally taxing as Elbert's and I'll miss using my tickets in time just like I did in Elbert's route because my brain's had enough emotions and miss finishing the mission board again
