part 2 of whether tokyo ghoul characters go to the dentist and/or brush their teeth because its fuunnn 😁also u guys r nice and gave me cool headcanons all of which i agree with tbh. i love you! ok also small trigger warning for mentions of vomit with touka

ive been thinking about this. yomo is one of my favs bcos i feel like he wants to be independent while also being lowkey 40 year old man incompetent like he could probably kill you in a minute but hes also a dummy doodoo and has not much emotional intelligence. that has nothing to do with the dentist but i wanted to include it . 'whats a dentist? whats a dentist' u know like that one xxxtentacion video thats what yomo is like but genuinely and not even joking i think he uses mouthwash once a week and thats all . he probably smells like shit and piss and dead man and thats why people think hes homeless . he probably has holes in his teeth but if ever dragged into a dentist he would insist they dont hurt . i mean this with love i love him probably once tried to floss and accidentally made his tooth bleed (this happened to me im projecting) . probably got an infection and nearly died . can you tell im passionate about this

i think touka would hate the dentist but yoriko once was like 'wait.. do you go to the dentist? i feed you so many sweets girl u need to go' and then if dragged the dentist was like really concerned like. fuck is all this decay how often do you throw up (and thus she never went again) (she probably bit them on accident) touka is probably rlly responsible about brushing her teeth though as id imagine she's googled like 'what happens if u throw up a bunch' and got concerned . i think she tries to brush her teeth after every time she's sick just to make sure and then probably has a breath mint if she cant in :re however i think she'd fall out of the habit a bit without yoriko there to remind her , she isn't sick as often anymore so she kind of just .. forgets but she tries to remember and she does like every other night ish!!

yoriko on the other hand is just normal she brushes her teeth every morning and every evening, flosses and uses mouthwash when she feels the need . shes always trying her own food so she knows she needs to stay clean!! she's been to the same dentist since she was tiny and i reckon she has a gap between her teeth just cus i think thats cute

nishiki stinks like a bitch but he just wears that stereotypical teenage boy cologne and has a breath mint whenever kimi comes over . just saying . i do think hed go to the dentist though but maybe every other year, he'd 'i know i know' his way through the appointment and only brush his teeth regularly for like 4 days before forgetting again . bcos hes gross . kimi just brushes her teeth thrice a day bcos shes not an idiot and she visits her dentist once a year in the autumn time i think . she's actually a smart person in this so i think she would just be normal

i think kaneki would've had ur average teenage boy crookedy teeth at the start of tokyo ghoul, theyd stay the same until :re, but i reckon somehow theyd straighten his teeth before he became haise sasaki, and whiten them too kaneki would probably be jittery abt dental appointments but not like outright scared, he can still go , but it's just kind of uncomfortable he always gets the same advice 'brush more and dont forget to floss' (he then goes on to forget to floss) but he brushes his teeth regularly!! haise probably has one of those timers that u can stick to ur bathroom mirror or tiles or sink or whatever and u flip it over and he brushes for the whole time even when his mouth starts to kind of sting from the mintiness😭 and then he flosses, and does mouthwash, and flosses a little bit more just in case . and then he goes to see the other quinx like 'have u guys brushed ur teeth :D' (no yes yes no)(im sure u can guess who said what lmao) he probably has a dentist somewhat associated with the CCG and he sits there kicking his feet while the dentist prods around in his mouth (thats after the dentist told him to shut up bcos 'ahh ar ah ahh' doesnt rlly make sense, its hard to talk with metal in ur mouth)

itori doesnt have a dentist but i think she probably has a friend who doesnt have a dentist either and they just check eachothers mouths that sounds kind of gay and it probably is a kind of gay experience she brushes her teeth and uses whitening stuff probably . maybe some mouthwash . i think she'd have an electric toothbrush specifically . and then her and her friend gay kiss probably

uta doesnt have a dentist either i think one would be a little startled to be a dentist and have his eyes staring at you the whole time but i say that with love .. i think he once considered shaving his teeth down but then didnt maybe he has veneers. maybe. i dont know. im just some guy he probably only has kiddie toothpaste the ones that say they taste like bubblegum i dont know i can just see uta having that kind of toothpaste. probably doesnt even own a toothbrush just uses his finger 😭😭😭

roma has to brush her teeth and visit the dentist how the hell else would she remain so youthful?? but i do think she has a silver tooth but like its a back tooth so nobody ever sees it unless she like. opens her mouth real wide i think shes super efficient and probably likes to chew 'dentist recommended!!' gum just to be sure

i think hinami has very clean teeth because touka is a hypocrite and takes her to the dentist and then they leave without touka even going inside . i also think ryouko would've scolded hinami a little for going to bed without brushing her teeth lol

thats all i can think of . i love being hyperbolic ,. maybe i will do a part 3 if i think of anything particularly interesting 😆byebye

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

Sentient Mystery Shack, who is really biased towards Stan, so when Ford tells Stan he has to give it back after the summer it’s on sight.

Ford keeps tripping over nothing, nothing is where it's supposed to be and somehow he keeps running into closets when he tries to go outside.

But the worst part, the WORST part is that Ford's lightbulb just won't. Work. No matter what he does it keeps flickering and exploding.

Ford is spiraling. 

There is no reason why it shoudln’t work. All his trial runs work perfectly. He’s already checked the Shacks wiring three times and relearned this dimensions science from the ground up. 

Nothing works.

The Rift? Bill? The impending apocalypse? Eating? Sleep? Who cares about that. 

WHY. WONT. THE. LIGHTBULB. WORK???

It doesn’t help that Stan keeps laughing at him.

“Then you do it!” Ford eventually snaps at Stan.

Stan shrugs and with a little song under his breath screws his own lightbulb in. It works perfectly.

Stanford screams.

there's this horrible school of attempted literary criticism on here that holds that 1. everything in any given author's work is autobiographical, especially if it seems "real" and 2. those themes seeped into the work subconsciously, revealing something about the author that they're either trying to hide or unaware of themself. it drives me up a wall, since it seems to deny the fundamental skills that make people good writers: the empathy to imagine and portray experiences that one hasn't had oneself and the ability to take one's personal emotional experiences or worldview and fold them, consciously, into the unworked clay of a narrative.

I don't know how strictly accurate this is, but one of the things I find shocking about watching historical dramas is how many people there are around all the time---according to Madame de... (1953) a well-off French household in the Belle Epoque maintains a workforce of at least 3, and the glittering opera has staff just to open doors. According to Shogun (2024) you can expect a deep bench just to mind your household, and again, people who exist to open doors.

Could people....not open doors in the past? Were doors tricky, before the standardization of hinges? Because otherwise, the wealthy used to pay a whole bunch of people to do it for them in multiple contexts, and I find myself baffled.

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

dr who is (apparently) redesigning this turtle from the classic series to be just a green human elf lady instead and twitter is eating it up because "no one would take the show seriously otherwise" and "the audience isn't able to empathize with something that doesn't look human". another fascinating data point in the psychology of doctor who fans.
