another fine mess I've gotten myself into

Just a rando with a keyboard shouting "NOW KISS" at fictional characters. galwednesday on AO3, they/them, 30s

OK APPARENTLY the tooth fairy is NOT as universal a myth as i thought. so. if you/your culture has a myth about a being/creature/whatever who Takes Your Teeth when you lose them as a child, please tell me what it is. so far we have “tooth mouse” and saint apollonia.

why

the world is a large place full of wonders that i have barely glimpsed

It’s dangerous to yeet your teeth around! I’ve always heard that whatever animal finds your lost tooth, you’ll get a tooth from that animal growing in instead of a human tooth. So if a dog finds your tooth, you’ll get a dog’s tooth. Or if a rabbit finds your tooth, you’ll get a rabbit’s tooth.

We have a magic talking mouse in lieu of a tooth fairy over here. He's a distinguished gentlemouse and wears little clothes. Have a delightful piece of vintage art

He also has a family with named members a la santas reindeers but hell if I remember those, I'd have to look for the original tale somewhere at my parents' for that

YESS!!!! I'm glad someone mentioned El Raton Perez here already. One time my little sister was suspecting he wasn't real so she didnt tell my PARENTS she had lost a tooth. BUT SHE TOLD ME. She left him a slice of Kraft single under her pillow, a letter and her tooth. I had some coins saved up so I put those in there and I used my nails to cut out a cartoon bite out of the kraft single.

She woke up sooo excited hahaha.

buisinesses mislabeling their job offers in databases gives so much unintentional comedy, I just searched under "no experience needed" and "no degrees needed" and it gave me a job opening for 'dentist'. Like sure I'll have a go, give me the pliers

btw i'm 100% sure i did not invent this concept but i think coat racks are such a nice option for renters/dorm-dwellers etc. who would like to have hanging plants without nailing into the walls

^ this costs $12.99 at IKEA

and if you can go up to like $25 you can get one with a low shelf to put, like, medium-sized floor plants on as well

these tags make me so happy!!!!!! you can find really nice ones on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist sometimes, too – here the $10 rack i found on FBM :^)

I HAVE THAT SECOND RACK THAT JUST BECAME OUT OF USE FOR ME BECAUSE I MOVED AND HAVE MORE CLOSET SPACE NOW, THIS IS BRILLIANT

enjoy the plants!!!!!!!!

i’m really tickled people liked this post!!!! 🥰

for people with a higher budget, i think bamboo clothes racks like this one could look absolutely fantastic btw! and a little less stark white if that doesn’t match your decor (though that could probably be changed with a can of spray paint if you have the room to do any DIY stuff!)

i do see the bamboo racks pop up on Facebook Marketplace from time to time as well…..👀

The 42nd Traditional Kaga-Yuzen Crafts ExhibitionSilver Award: Visiting dress ‘New York, New York’ Miyoji Ishida

Author’s Comment : The lights of the skyscrapers in Manhattan are beginning to turn on, and I created this work with a bird’s eye view of New York City, which is being transformed into a vibrant city.

The 42nd Annual Exhibition of Traditional Kaga Yuzen Crafts is being held at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, from September 16 (Wed) to 22 (Tue). 

I think the main problem with a lot of Morgan le Fay characterizations is that they focus too much on the angst and not enough on the Wile. E. Coyote-esque schemes

Morgan: Even now, my servant, the Green Knight, goes to challenge my brother's men. But once they lop off his head, he'll just pick it up and walk out of the room! MWA-HA-HA!

Sebile: Weren't we trying to kill Guinevere?

Morgan: Yeah, and when she sees this, she'll die of a heart attack.

Sebile:

Sebile: Okay?

Reblogging with these absolutely gems that were hidden in the tags:

Esio knows all the rules about travelling to the fae realm: stick to the path, don't say your name, and don't eat any offered food. She is determined to make it to the realm's castle and ask for a wish from the mysterious being who lives there. Unfortunately for her, struggling stockbroker Ted has invited himself along for the dangerous journey.

if dracula was on queer eye

karamo: I think this attachment you have to your ancestral home is beautiful, it’s a really special kind of connection to have and it must be really intense to be leaving so soon.

dracula: yes sometimes I feel as though I would literally die without this land

karamo: but you won’t and that’s the beautiful thing about the human spirit. we can always move on and accept the new alongside the old.

dracula:

bobby, zooming from carfax: so my team here has been working hard to make this old Victorian mansion with a dilapidated church next to a wildly unethical psychiatric facility feel like a home. we have some beautiful stonework in the almost medieval portion of the property that I’ve chosen to highlight with an open patio space perfect to soak up that sun and entertain.

dracula: e. excellent.

jvn: so drac, i’m loving your long hair mustache moment, obvi, but I have to wonder are you maybe hiding behind it? a teensey bit? like when you look in the mirror are we seeing dracula or are we seeing full bush

dracula, crying: I do not know

tan: so i love the natural textiles, you clearly love a bit of camp with all the capes and blouses, but I feel like it kind of verges into costume territory at some points. you’re kind of dressing to your title but I want to see if we can’t pull back a bit and find something that doesn’t so much scream count as it does whisper it, does that sound like something you’re interested in? just a low key vibe that says “I can throw this on, leave the house, go to a nice bistro somewhere, and everyone knows dracula’s wearing the clothes the clothes aren’t wearing dracula.”

dracula in a cloak, two silk waist coats, and a ruff: I don’t know, tan.

tan: well, can we just try a black skinny jean? just to see how it looks?

antoni: so Dracula I notice that you don’t really have a lot in your kitchen. just. a lot of black sausage, so I wanted to ask are you iron deficient?

dracula: uh. n… yes.

antoni: okay so i want to to introduce you to this do you know that this is

dracula: a rock?

antoni: it’s an avacado

milk-thistle is an example of a word where the tongue barely moves… basilica is an example of a word where the movement involved is like a seesaw. opium as a word is circular to say. to say a word like violence involves a bit of a forced pause in the mouth where the o connecting the syllables is. etymologists trace the word’s history, poets feel the word’s impact, singers listen to the word’s musicality, linguists tell the word to go this way and that way, and the word is gracious to all in return

character concept: two people who have been reincarnated for thousands of years and have always found eachother but instead of being in love they just fucking hate eachother

I am so glad to see this back on my dash with my addition
