Unveiling Your Perfect Smile: Invisible Braces at The Orthodontic Centre in Reading
Are you dreaming of a straighter smile but hesitant about traditional braces? Say goodbye to metal brackets and wires and hello to the discreet solution you've been waiting for: invisible braces at The Orthodontic Centre in Reading. Our innovative approach to orthodontic treatment allows you to achieve the smile of your dreams without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.
Gone are the days when straightening your teeth meant enduring a mouthful of metal. Thanks to advancements in orthodontic technology, invisible braces offer a more discreet and convenient alternative for patients of all ages. Whether you're a busy professional, a social butterfly, or a self-conscious teenager, invisible braces can help you achieve a beautiful, confident smile without drawing unwanted attention to your treatment.
So, what exactly are invisible braces, and how do they work? At The Orthodontic Centre, we offer several options for invisible orthodontic treatment, including clear aligners and lingual braces.
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, are custom-made, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Made from smooth, transparent plastic, they're virtually invisible when worn, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly without anyone noticing. Plus, because they're removable, you can continue to enjoy your favourite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine with ease.
Lingual braces, on the other hand, are fixed braces that are bonded to the back surface of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. Using wires and brackets customized to fit the contours of your teeth, lingual braces gently apply pressure to shift your teeth into alignment. While they're not removable like clear aligners, lingual braces offer the same discreet treatment option without the hassle of daily removal and insertion.
At The Orthodontic Centre, our team of experienced orthodontists will work closely with you to determine the best treatment option based on your unique needs and goals. During your initial consultation, we'll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and bite and discuss your treatment options in detail. Whether you choose clear aligners or lingual braces, we'll create a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve optimal results with minimal disruption to your daily life.
One of the biggest advantages of invisible braces is their subtle appearance, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly without feeling self-conscious. Whether you're giving a presentation at work, posing for a photo, or enjoying a night out with friends, you can feel confident knowing that your smile is on its way to perfection.
But the benefits of invisible braces extend far beyond aesthetics. By straightening your teeth, you can improve your oral health, reduce the risk of dental problems such as cavities and gum disease, and enhance your overall quality of life. Plus, with shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces, you'll be able to enjoy your beautiful new smile sooner than you think.
At The Orthodontic Centre in Reading, we're dedicated to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams with invisible braces. If you're ready to take the first step towards a straighter, more confident smile, schedule a consultation with our team today. Let us help you unveil the smile you've always wanted.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening has become very popular in recent years. We are so used to seeing celebrities on TV and social media platforms flashing their perfect teeth, and many people want to emulate these beautiful smiles. Teeth whitening is a highly effective and relatively cheap dental treatment that can certainly create that ‘wow factor’.
There are many reasons why teeth tend to darken as we age. These include lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking red wine and other staining food and drinks. Teeth staining can also be caused by certain medications. However we live our lives, our teeth will inevitably naturally darken with age. When people receive teeth whitening treatment, they get a bright and whiter smile, which makes them appear healthier and often fills them with confidence.
Professional home whitening
Professional home whitening treatment offers the best of both worlds. You get the professional and safe teeth bleaching you need but you can also do it from the comfort of your own home.
At Kendrick View, they provide bespoke, professional home whitening. They fit you with custom-made whitening trays and provide professional strength gel. You wear these for a short period in the day or overnight to achieve a brighter, whiter smile in as little as 2 weeks!

Quick – a sparkly, clean smile can be achieved in as little as 2-3 weeks of wearing the whitening trays at home.
Comfortable – the whitening trays are tailor-made to fit your teeth and gums. This means they are comfortable, and you will get accurate and even whitening.
Effective – the fantastic results can have a positive impact on your self-confidence, giving you every reason to smile!

I keep thinking of Stan having braces in his early teens.
I think Stan would maybe have a very awkward phase in his early teens with braces, voice cracking and maybe a growth spurt that makes his limbs feel too long for his own body.
And then in his late teens, he's grown into a total hunk of a man
You know something funny? I was just thinking the other day about which kids would have braces!
Imo I think Wendy and Craig would definitely have them. Cartman mentions Craig having "fucked up teeth" in The List, and Wendy mentions herself that her bottom teeth are crooked in The Hobbit.
Tweek is also mentioned in Tweek vs Craig to maybe have crooked teeth? Though he claims that isn't correct when the boys lie saying Craig claimed as much, so you can go either way with it, I think. Though with that meth addiction his teeth are probably pretty messed up, but not in a way that braces could fix. Sorry, king.
I also personally headcanon Kenny as having crooked teeth, though I don't think I have any canon basis to back that up. I just think it would be cute! Oh man, what about a snaggle tooth?? That would help explain why the Japanese think he's so gosh darn adorable.
Personally as an aggressive Style shipper I like to imagine Stan complaining about kissing Wendy when she has braces and how uncomfortable it is for him, and that this at least partially influenced Kyle not to get braces to correct the small gap in his front teeth.
Stan being an über dorky teen is iconic though, and frankly I think all the kids have a super awkward phase from like 13-16. It's an important rite of passage!
#ask asteria#headcanons#its so funny i really was just thinking about this#like did you read my mind anon?#i could see a lot of the kids needing some kind of dental care though#ken def couldnt afford it though sorry kind#maybe kyle will do Invisalign as an adult#and Stan can cry about missing his gap

die for me
☆ fuckboy!matt sturniolo blurb for anon
Not that you cared, but Matt had been M.I.A for over a week now. He hadn't been in class, hadn't texted you, and you hadn't seen him in his usual hangout spots around campus. Not that you'd bothered to check.
Well, okay, you shouldn't have checked — But you did. Not because you cared. I mean, he didn't care, so why would you? You'd been looking for him because, for some reason, your professor had decided to hand over his work to you. It didn't seem like he knew where Matt had gone either.
You didn't really understand what this had to do with you. The professor had just told you to give it to Matt whenever you got the chance. What, did he think you and Matt were something? Because you're not. That's not what Matt wanted, and neither did you.
But as your grades began to slip, it was clear Matt was on your mind. For no reason, really. Like, you didn't like him or anything. Seriously, you didn't like him. Usually, with the help of Matt, you would've been able to de-stress by now. Even touching yourself was no good. His help had been keeping you steady for the semester, and without it, you were nothing academically. At least that's what you told yourself.
Today 10:22 PM : ' Hey sorry. Been a minute. '
That's what you saw pop up on your phone as you tried to focus on studying for the upcoming quiz. You knew who it was before you even read the contact at the top of the notification — that unreadable way of texting, topped with an annoying amount of periods, just like always. He said it'd been a minute, but it had only seemed like seconds since you last talked at that moment. You were already annoyed.
Texting back seemed like no use, brushing it off with a sigh that exuded not only irritation, but a hint of relief as well. At least now you knew he hadn't gotten himself into some shit. Not that getting into shit was much like him, it was more his brother's thing. But still, he tended to stick his nose where it didn't belong when it came to any problems Chris got into.
Today 10:25 PM : ' Come slide. Dorm's P17. '
You tried to ignore it, but the numbers caught your attention. Could he really want you this bad? Usually he'd come to your dorm, or on some rare occasions you'd meet him at Chris' frat. Never once had he bothered to give you his dorm number. This felt new, possibly refreshing. He'd always told you where he stayed wasn't necessary information— basically the nice way of saying he didn't take you seriously, nor trust you enough.
Though tempting, your better judgement told you not to give in so easily. As you held down the power button and slid the icon to power off before flipping your phone face down, you felt a certain sense of empowerment, proud of yourself for deciding it wasn't worth it. So why did you find yourself waiting for him to answer the door, fidgeting nervously as you looked at the short brown carpet of the dormitory hallway?
"Didn't even get a warning," You heard his voice as the door opened in front of you, causing you to look up at him.
With an embarrassed chuckle, you lifted your hand to show him the black screen of your phone. "It died," You lied, eyelashes fluttering as your eyes met his blue ones.
You watched his small smile as his tongue ran over his white teeth to hide it, invisalign making them chunky and, in some strange way, admirable. Then, he stepped aside, giving you room to walk into his doorway. "S'late, I know, but I just- like I said, its been a while," Matt began explaining as you walked into his dorm, leaning on the doorframe as his head followed you.
You turned to look at him after having taken in his dorm, rather unimpressed by the lack of personality. "Yeah, about that, actually— Where y'been?" You asked curiously, as he shut and locked the door behind him.
Matt only shrugged, suppressing a smirk as he took a step forward to let his hands travel down your waist. "Lot'a stuff," He replied simply, head cocking slightly to one side. Of course he wasn't going to tell you - he never told you anything. "S'a lot to handle, y'know," He then added, eyes darkening as they held contact with yours.
Your brows furrowed at his words, a bit confused. If he didn't want to tell you why he was gone straight up, you'd prefer if he didn't start hinting at stuff. "What is?" You breathed out, hands moving to rest on his forearms as you unknowingly caught his bait.
"Not being able to see you every day; To touch you every day." He said that as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, his head dipping to place open mouthed kisses on the sensitive skin of your neck. "To call you mine," He then whispered. You knew it were dumb to think he meant that, but for some reason, those four words made you want to give yourself to him completely.
Matt smiled for the first time since you'd walked in when you pulled back to admire his face, letting out a small hum when you leaned back into him to press your lips against his. Just like that, he walked you backwards towards his bed, hands slipping under your shirt to caress the soft skin of your stomach. The coldness of his silver rings caused you to hiss into the kiss, too distracted by the sensation to notice him turning you so that he was now with his back to his bed.
As he sat down on his bed, he pulled you down to straddle him, hands holding your waist. You looked down at his glossy blue eyes as your hands reached up to knock his hat off of his head, fingers threading through his brunette curls. "What d'you want, Matt?" You finally asked, one hand coming down to allow your finger to caress the underside of his chin as he looked up at you.
His hands traveled up your figure, lifting your shirt as he did so. He allowed his hands to rest on your boobs, kneeding them as he chuckled ever so quietly. "To not have to do the work this time," He answered in a teasing tone, eyes flickering down to look at where his hands worked.
Though reluctant, you lifted yourself off of his lap to hoover over it. Using one hand to stabilize yourself on his shoulder, your free hand made its way down to his belt buckle as he watched your every move intently, "Don't look so happy," You mused when your eyes had glanced up to see the excitement in his.
"You know I love this shit," He quipped as you pulled his belt through the loops, lifting himself just enough for you to pull his pants down to his thighs. You only had so long to admire all you could see through his boxers before you felt Matt tugging on your pants, pleading without words for you to take them off.
Again, you lifted yourself off of him, this time allowing him to unbutton your pants and shimmy them down your legs until they were discarded somewhere beside his bed. As he fiddled with your pants, your hand began palming him through his boxers, length already riled up from not being touched much longer than he was used to. He groaned as his eyes remained locked on yours, a wet patch turning a spot of his boxers a darker shade of gray.
After a bit of teasing, you decided it was time to finally get your eyes on the prize—his prize. Pulling it out of his boxers, you ran your hand along his shaft to feel it rock hard already. "So big," You muttered, eyes glued to it.
Matt couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his lips at your words, expression smug as it could be. "This's new news?" He asked playfully, a stark contrast to his usual cold behaviors. It was like he really came out of his shell when he was aroused, and you were ready to put him right back in it.
With a squeeze of his dick that caused him to grunt, you pulled your panties to the side and lined him up with your entrance. Matt looked enthralled as he watched you do your work like this were routine, hands leaving your hips to rest behind him, leaning back to tilt his head back when you sunk down onto him without warning.
His hair was messy, and he could feel he was ready to sweat with your gummy walls around him. Lips pursing together, he hummed as you began to slowly grind into him, letting you do the work, just like he said he wanted.
It wasn't long before you began bouncing on him, hands on his shoulders for stability as you let out choked moans, as if his cock were suffocating you. The quick pace had your thighs burning, struggling to keep up with it, and yet, Matt simply watched in enjoyment. It wasn't often he allowed himself to freely make noise, but you could tell he was really enjoying this, with the way he had let out more groans and pants than usual.
Seemingly out of nowhere, his hands dartted out to grip the flesh of your hips as you continued your motions. You could've swore you heard a whimper when his head dropped forward to lean on the front of your shoulder. "Fu–ck this," He drawled out to you, hips begining to meet yours as he chase his high.
This simple, not so innocent gesture only served to fuel you, completely forgetting about the burning sensation. Your bounces got bigger, lifting yourself all the way to his tip before dropping back onto him with shreik-like moans. Matt was loving this, pants and groans now following each motion on his painfully ready cock.
"K- keep goin' f'me, baby, m'gettin close," He rasped, forcing himself to lift his head from your shoulder so he could look in your eyes while he came.
You nodded, bouncing mixing with grinding as you tried to tell him you were close too. It was too late. You let out a loud moan as you snapped on top of him, Matt following suit at the feeling of your sticky liquid releasing all over his dick. Your movements slowed to ride out your guys' orgasms before eventually coming to a halt, both of you panting with each other.
"Le's, uh— We'll do that more often, yeah?"

⠀⠀ ׅ ⠀⠀⠀ઉ⠀⠀𓂂 ⠀ 𝆬 ׄ skater!matt sturniolo & artist!reader.
as the new york city sun has fallen into hibernation, the routine that you’ve become so familiar with falls into place. clocking out of work, 10:30PM sharp— relieved to be free from yet another excruciatingly slow day at the library. you’d hurry to catch the underground subway, tense muscles relaxing against those filthy seats you’ve grown to love. the transportation jerkingly pulls off, an obnoxious screech left behind as it makes way for the next stop.
you pull your black sketchbook out of your crowded tote, funky stickers and your name in bold lettering adorned on the front. every ounce of stress you had, exiting as you begin to draw, one of your overpriced lead pencils gliding against the paper. art was your safe place, loving everything about the craft since you could walk.. the way it conveyed how you felt with having to utter a syllable. perfection.
it’s only when the train makes a halt that your ripped from your bubble, a boy’s infectious laugh echoing through the almost deserted station as he daps his friends goodbye, stumbling into the ride shortly after. he was beautiful, facial structure something out of a greek god description. baggy jeans hanging low on his waist, the sleek calvin klein font of his boxers on display. his hair was kept hidden in a cheap beanie— shit… is he looking at you?
your eyes immediately dart away from the stranger, gaze falling anywhere but him. you could feel his blue orbs burning into you still, the temptation to make eye contact making you sweat. it was as if he was begging, daring you to look up. finally, you push that scared feeling down before ripping the bandaid, wide eyes flickering to his curious ones.
a soft smile grows on his face, the shitty overhead light reflecting onto his invisalign. your expression mirrors his, a sense of comfortability filling up the space. neither of you knew who the other was but god, everything felt so familiar, so warm. his eyes flicker down to the sketchbook sprawled across your lap, the neat yet expressive drawings speaking life into him.
he gets up from his seat across, plopping his body right next to yours. he sets his custom skateboard down on the floor, samba covered feet coming to rest atop, keeping it in place. a pair of hands reach out, fingers wiggling as if silently asking to see your work up close. you nod with a idiotic smile, carefully placing the gem in his palms.
“y’drew these?… this shit is… woah. got a lil’ van gogh on m’hands…” he praises, his ring-clad digits flipping through the pages as his curiosity runs wild. a soft hum leaves your throat, turning a couple pages to show him your newest work. oil pastels smudged and swiped perfectly into place, pen work underneath for guidelines, his eyes widening with amazement.
“not even close t’being like him… i jus’… draw sometimes..” you brush off his very obvious compliment, foot tapping against the train floor. he scoffs, fluffy hair moving with a shake of his head. no, he saw your potential, the possibility of you. reading people was his superpower.. apparently. “nah, there’s more to it then that… feel it in m’bones. never seen sumthin’ like this before..” you roll your eyes playfully at his words, taking the gallery back and shoving it in your bag.
after a few beats of silence, the small screen on the wall reads that your stop was up next, the conversation slowly coming to an end. the boy looks over at you, a gigantic light bulb going off in his head as he speaks. “yo… uh, y’should pull up to the skatepark.. tomorrow. the one downtown. screams you.. i can show y’the pretty art n’ all that..” he explains, a hint of nervousness laced throughout in his tone..
your eyebrows furrow at the invitation, not really sure how to respond seeing as you just met him 10 minutes ago. the train pulls into a stop, the automatic doors sliding open as you stand, gathering your things. “don’t even know y’name…” you counter, a grin peeking through that neutral expression you tired so hard to keep.
the mystery boy shrugs, a sly smile adorning his pink lips. “s’a good thing, right? now y’got a reason to lemme see y’again… tomorrow! don’t forget! ” he yells after you, his pink muscle running along his retainer as you rush to make the door, biding him farewell. oh, he was hooked. and there was no doubt in his mind that you were too.

Disclaimer: I wrote this post as an enthusiast for Dune: Part Two (2024) and the ‘seductively sick’ portrayal of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. Any other thoughts or comments are welcomed and appreciated! TL;DR: The aesthetic choice of Feyd’s blackened teeth aligns well with the widespread custom in ancient Vietnam — a sign of beauty, maturity, and even brutality. Read more below. Original photos belong to their respective owners.
Teeth blackening in Dune: Part Two (2024) through the lens of Vietnamese culture
One thing that mesmerizes me about Feyd in the 2024 Dune movie is his blackened teeth. Not only does this provide an impressive physical appearance for Feyd, but it also reminds me of a long-lost fashionable custom in my home country.
Original inspiration. As far as I know, the film crew creatively invented this aesthetic for the movie from the inspiration of the black mamba (a type of venomous snake in sub-Saharan Africa) and images of geisha with black teeth. Similar to folklore and legends, other countries and ethnicities also dyed their teeth black with their local traditional recipes.
Vietnam-specific. Particularly in Vietnam, teeth blackening was once a popular aesthetic choice for both commoners and noblemen. As teeth blackening was a sign of elegance and decency, it was prevalent for Vietnamese women to adhere to this practice. This custom was deep-rooted as early as 400 BCE and grew so profound as an indicator of being ready for marriage or fierce on battlefields. Side note, Vietnamese people would not dye their teeth black until they came of age; it was indeed a statement of maturity.
A clash between the East and the West. It is also hilarious that until the early 20th century in Vietnam, white teeth were regarded as barbaric; only animals, savages, and evil spirits would have white teeth. During this time, one may casually make a sarcastic remark about pretty girls with white teeth such as “Oh you’ve got a pretty face but your teeth are as white as doggo.” On the contrary, in the eyes of the French colonists, the locals had impressive straight teeth but those were “as black as sewer pipes”.
Cannibalism? In some online discussions, internet users theorize that Feyd’s blackened teeth may indicate cannibalism. This fan theory is reasonable enough, because during World War I, to curb the abuse and bullying from the larger and stronger Moroccans and Senegalese mercenaries to the smaller Annamese counterparts, a French officer spread the rumor that black-toothed people were cannibals and could devour two legs in just an hour, terrifying the African mercenaries and bringing peace to the Annamese ones.
How to? So, without the privilege of wearing an Invisalign filled with black dye like Austin, how did the Vietnamese dye their teeth? In short, one must generally undergo the following stages to dye their teeth black: mouth sanitization, red dyeing, black dyeing, polishing, and maintenance, which on average took around three weeks. It was reported that the first teeth-dyeing session would rather be physically painful due to swelling mouth and lips, stinging sensation of the dyed teeth, and strict dietary restrictions (e.g., refraining from fatty and hot food, smoking).
On another side note, I don’t know exactly what the food that Feyd chewed in the early morning attacking Sietch Tabr and degrading Rabban, but to maintain the sheeny stylish black teeth, ancient and older Vietnamese often practiced betel nut chewing.
Dear Dune fan fic writers, please consider adding this long-lost social custom into your fics; multi-cultural representation would be greatly appreciated and respected.
Please let me know if you want me to delve into greater details of the teeth blackening tutorial in Vietnam. I may do a part two on this for my lovely Feyd and Vietnamese culture if you guys are intrigued!

How to invest into yourself
In the past 15 years, there as been so many tools and new age techniques to change yourself. All of them more and more complex than the one before. Either it is weird diet, or wall Pilates, there will always be new ways to improve yourself.
However, i had to look back into old traditional beauty tips that have proven effective and helpful. The beauty of those tips is that most of them can be done at home at a very low cost which i love.
So here is a list of things that i do to invest in myself.
Let’s start by the physical investement.
The biggest investment i did was with my teeth. I did Invisalign and now i have a million dollar smile. I understand that teeth are expensive but if you have a chance to do so, it is a long term change that you will not regret. Also Try to go to the dentist at least once a year for a clean up.
My new smile actually even changed my face and i love it.
If you cannot do invinsalign, you can definitely ensure that your teeth are white at all times. I used white strip ( the best one is crest Hollywood white stripe ) with whiting toothpaste! Do it twice a week and within a month your smile will look amazing.
After investing in my teeth, it came time to take care of my skin.
I needed to update my skin care but honestly , with time I realize that the real trick was to be constant and have a simple routine that is easy to follow. It is important to have good product but if you are not committed to the routine there is no point into investing in pricey skincare.
You need to start by understanding what kind of skin you have and base on that RESEARCH the type of product that will work for it.
I double wash my face, than toner, serum, moisturizer than face oil. While my face still look like a glazed doughnut, I will gua sha the fuck out of my face and luvvs Gua sha keeps my skin tight and young. So do not sleep on that.
I not only take face of my face skin but also my whole entire body. I will turn my bathroom into a spa once a week and do a good hammam session to my self. I will take a warm bath for a good 20min just to make sure that the scrubbing is smooth sailing. I would use Moroccan black soap to exfoliate my body. After the exfoliation, i would be taking a warm shower and moisturized my skin with natural shea butter. If you live in Canada, you can find great one at your local Marshall with body oil.
Making sure that i look good, i started getting those cutes fits that would make me feel like that girl, invest in quality product because i now wanted the best of the best for myself. I don’t mean to break a bag but definitely not being cheap with my self. So instead of being the cheapest option, let’s say i will be looking into things that match my budget but still are good. I will take more time researching for things instead of just getting the product that was just cheap.
There will be always many option of the same things so just taking an extra sec to look into those options is you investing into yourself. You cannot be the best version of yourself by doing the same thing and buying the same thing as before. You wont change by doing the same!
Now let’s talk about investing to our mental and confidence!
It all fun and game to look good but if you do feel good about yourself. All of this will be worth nothing.
If you can afford it and if needed, talking to a professional or life coach can be life changing. Learning new skills and making yourself some goals will build your confidence so fast.
Something that really help me feel better about myself was podcast. I would listen to a shit ton of self improvement podcast and it really help me see things differently and broaden my perspective on life. READING too was game changer. So far, since the beginning of this year, i have read 4 books so far and reading my 5th right now. I never felt so smart ! But you know what i mean. Keep learning , reading , journaling , it will keep your brain sharp!
Honestly the best kind of investment you can do for yourself is to invest TIME INTO YOURSELF. Whatever you decide to do, take time doing. Make time when you do your skin care, make time when you talk to yourself, make time for your workout, shopping, hair care, body care.
Just invest time into everything you do. Every time you will try to cheat and go the easy way, you will never win. YOU ARE REBUILDING YOURSELF AND IT WILL TAKE TIME!
Invest time into your budget, finance and you will be able to reach your goals!
Believe me when i say that i am a living proof of investing time into yourself will change/better the person that you are. The more i worked on my self the more i became the woman of my dream and I know you can do it too.
Xoxo cheeky

old headcanons by @cunningweiner & yours truly!!!
we don’t necessarily subscribe to all of these anymore — most were written before we even watched the finale — but I can see exactly what we were thinking LOL
below the cut, read about painted nails, braces, Randy’s health, weinerham, and more!!!!
Randy paints his nails real
Usually black but sometimes he gets adventurous (when Howard says the black nails emo)
Whiteout nails & sharpie nails are his fave……..someone save him ✊😔
HE also Does Not take care of them. He lets them chip until they’re either completely gone or he just paints over them again
I just know his hangnails are AWFULLL
On a similar note, Howard has a scheduled monthly mani-pedi
he does NOT shower tho
Never gets them painted, he just like to feel pampered
His hands are DELICATE!!!
Randy is afraid of the dremel tool the artists use so he doesn’t go
HOWARD CROSSDRESSER REAL‼️
Not trans, not a drag queen, but a secret third thing
He just likes to feel pretty ok!!!!! but has has not yet, and honestly may never, wear his dresses/skirts/wigs/heels out of the house
Randy has HELLLLLA scars/bruises/clicky joints cuz he’s reckless and stupid ‼️‼️
RANDY EPILEPSY CANON🗣️🗣️
Loses ninja powers…keeps brain damage 😍
Howard def needs braces but bullies his dad out of getting them cuz waaah wah it’ll look nerdy wah 😫 and then he has rlly fucked up teeth his entire life but he’s too proud to just get the damn braces
Randy’s like “invisalign™️?….” So naturally Howard can never give him the satisfaction
He would have gotten too if it wasn’t Randy who suggested it
Howard uses twitch slang. Pog, fail, epic, etc
he wants to be a streamer SOOOO bad😫😫
Randy has richass parents but bc of whatever their job is, they’re gone a lot. He keeps it a secret cuz who wants to have S1 Steve Harrington syndrome??
Howard is SOOOOO showy with Randy — especially at events and when he gets jealous
Randy has to play arm candy all the time cause Howard is vain and likes the way he looks with Randy
He’s very possessive
In return, Randy is a GRADE-A SHOWOFF as the ninja if Howard is around <33 at a certain point Howard has to be like “dude u HAVE to tone it down, ppl are starting to think maybe ur not 800 years old” “wdym??” “800 year old divine warriors don’t say WHOS THAT CUTIE PIE IN THE SQUID SHIRT”
Randy and Howard are SOOOO coupley throughout high school but it takes them foreverrrr to put a label on it
They def practice kissing on each other
But for a while they’re like pshhh that’s just biffer stuff!! Wdym not everyone does that 👬
Howard falls first but Randy falls harder I will die on this hill
Randy is a shower singer. Howard records him secretly (blackmail 4 Deborah 🫶)

Happy full moon! 🌕 part 2! In this post think of it as an empty 6th house and it’s just in the signs. Part 1 explains the planets in the 6th.
Also, you can read for your sun sign and even your rising as additional information! Since I explain the signs and that sign in the 6th house. I love being a Leo rising because even if I don’t feel well, being out in the sun instantly makes me feel better! The winter time is not my favorite…I really do get depressed 😭 and I’m a winter baby so how does that make sense 🤨
Look at the your SN sign to see what area is a focus for you to maintain in good health ☝🏽 as a Leo SN I’ve had issues with upper/middle back pain and I use to even sunbathe at the beach wearing no sun screen 😩😭 SPF is always on now! My NN is in the 6th house and I really have a strong interest in health and preventative medicine 🥰 but I also isolate to escape 😭 I go into hiding 🤷🏽♀️And as a Pisces sun (especially this year 🙄) I’ve gotten a cold twice 😩 like wth and my feet are quite sensitive and I realized this when I was in Europe and walking! the water retention is too accurate! I do lymphatic massages to take care of that now. I have Capricorn in the 6th and I’ve struggled with diet cycling and gallstones. I had to have my gall bladder removed. I also had crooked teeth but I got that fixed with Invisalign after I turned 30. Ive been doing very well to take care of myself. I’ve been so fascinated with 6th house things and although I’ve taken my health seriously, the older I get I’m just much more cautious. Let me know your placements and if this resonates! Take care of yourselves ♥️
