Maddie is the field specialist “I’ll let poisonous insects bite me to see what it does” genius and Jack is the shut in “I’m gonna use gene editing to cure my lactose intolerance” genius and no one can fight me on this characterization

Adding on to this, I’d think it just be hysterical for both of them to figure out half of Danny’s identity. Maddie clocks Phantoms “Dannyness” first and just thinks it’s some kind of mimicking behavior so she tries to lure him with stuff Danny likes, ultimately ending with her saying stuff like “Hey fellow GigaChad, I’ve got dank tickets to see Humpty Dumpty and a moon rock signed by Buzz Aldrin ” and Danny has to sit there deciding where to take the bait or not.

And then Jack is always up super late, working on hyperfixation #5789 and downing a plate of snacks so he runs into Danny sneaking in and out the most. Jack of course helps Danny with his injuries but never thinks to question them because *stuff happens when you science* and he notices Danny has ectoplasm mixed in with his blood which prompts him to say “oh cool, ya know I had ecto-contamination like this once. I blasted myself with a proto-portal to study ecto acne for Vladdie but it just gave me cool ghost powers for a while before I figured out you could remove them by blasting yourself twice. Don’t tell your mother, she’d be pretty upset” and Danny just sits there reevaluating his life choices

See I’m more focused on the fact that they could have wished away Desiree’s ability to grant wishes at any time but just don’t process the necessary brain cell

now that s3′s been officially confirmed, here’s a couple of things i want to see

did you main super, who, or lock back in the day

if youre tagging this with “none i had good taste and was better than you“ i know you have skeletons in your closet its okay to laugh about it

Why’d they de-sexy-code King Neptune for the SpongeBob movie?

Yo, people with acne

These are hydrocolloid bandages. They work wonders at pulling fluid through skin and absorbing all that gunk. 

You can cut them down to size, wear them on your face at night, and in the morning you’ll see a noticeable difference plus the bandage visibly absorbs the goo and it’s gross but weirdly satisfying.

They’re cheaper than most acne products, they work, and 1 pack lasts for ages. They’re sold in the band-aid section of most pharmacies; try them if you can.

it’s the same stuff they use to make those new acne spot patches, but

These are also absolutely game-changing for anybody with a skin-picking problem. This is a judgment-free zone, I’ve Been There, and there are plenty of times I still find myself unable to leave something alone, whether it be a bug bite or a pimple or whathaveyou, because it’s There and I can’t ignore it long enough for it to properly heal.

Hydrocolloids basically act as a scab over the thing you can’t stop bothering, and as Gaud mentions above, they absorb gunk, which makes them bubble up like a little artificial blister. It’s so satisfying, you have something to pokepokepoke at, without actually hecking up the thing healing under the bubble.

These are, hands down, the fastest way to get problem spots under control; you can leave them on for multiple days at a time (up to a week, actually), based on the size, location and severity of your picky spot, so you can slap a hydrocolloid on something minor before it becomes a problem, and four days later or so you peel it off and there is no more problem, just smooth new skin. (They minimize scarring too, in case that’s something anybody else has psychological issues with.)

Basically, these are magical and they’re worth every. single. cent.

well hot damn

have you noticed if they help with old scarring? my picky areas are kind of my entire upper arms, back of neck, and various shoulder regions.

Yannow what? I have no idea? My instincts say probably not, hydrocolloids help speed up a natural bodily healing process called debridement (DON’T LOOK UP PHOTOS THEY’RE HORRIFYING), so once your body’s finished bombing an area with white blood cells and scar tissue’s formed, I want to say a hydrocolloid won’t do anything.

That being said, there’s another option in the ‘stick a gooey bandage on it and ignore it for a while’ field of treatment, and they’re called “silicone scar sheets.” They’ve been used as a treatment for scarring, both new and old, since the 90’s, and while I can’t personally vouch for their efficacy, apparently they do actually work?

I see ‘em at the pharmacy all the time, and I’ve been too put off by the price to have actually noticed that apparently they’re reusable???

I just learned this in the last thirty minutes, so I’m here like “?????” but more critically, scientists are also like “?????” because despite having been in effective use for thirty-some years, they don’t know how or why silicone gel treatments work. This is honestly hilarious to me and has piqued my contrarian nature, so TELL YA WHAT:

I will run a field test for you! If one box of silicone gel sheets actually is the two-month supply it advertises itself to be, they’re cheaper than an equal volume of hydrocolloids, especially if there’s an equivalent store brand. I’ve got a couple largeish, unlovely surgical scars I wouldn’t mind being rid of, so. Yeah.

I’ll pick up some scar sheets this week and try ‘em out, then update you on how that goes. Call me weird, but I won’t recommend something to somebody else unless I have firsthand experience with something, and I have intense opinions about bandaid-type products.

LET’S SEE HOW IT GOES

in my experience, silicone sheets are quite helpful for scars!

the one annoyance i’ve had is some brands don’t stick very well, so you may have to tape over them or try another brand. they also make silicone gel, which is applied like a liquid bandage. there’s less research on the effectiveness of gel, so if you use it, i recommend applying a normal silicone sheet over it (buy the sheet + gel pack if you can).

but yeah, silicone will be especially helpful for newer scars, so apply it sooner rather than later. that said, it should improve the appearance of old scar if worn long enough.

note: silicone sheets are more expensive but can be worn for much longer than hydrocolloid bandages. they don’t absorb gunk and can be wiped off, so there’s nothing preventing you from wearing them for weeks at a time. like hydrocolloid bandages, there are plenty of generic options.
