Here's the art too:

1. I drew Jirachi-style Miku, as designed by mimimno_on Twitter
2. I'm on VGen now! I just need to finish setting things up

i went to the dentist today and my dentist honest to god said “can i ask you a question…….what the hell is in your mouth”

it was in awe lmao

then the hygienist and assistant all came over to look too and they were like “wooooow” and my ass was sitting there like

oh my god i posted this and then went to work, and

story time

okay so to preface this, my hometown where i’m originally from is a really fucking weird place. like from the outside it seems like a normal suburban town, but once you’re there for awhile you get the feeling that’s something’s not…quite all together. a lot of people are really fucking weird there — so much so that that was a running joke in school growing up, that people in the town were just like that. everyone knew not to go out to the farm lands surrounding the town especially at night, we called it “the cuts” and people used to disappear out there all the time or get shot at by the especially weird people that would live out there. the news was and still is truly a thing of horror. every time i come back i’m regaled with even more stories of crazy shit that has happened there.

to put it in perspective we generally never had “normal crime” like robbery or anything like that when i lived there, though that did happen sometimes. the news stories were always like, “a kid was kidnapped by local residents and tortured in a house around the corner,” “a random person was chased down and shot for sport in a really nice neighborhood,” “someone was gored to death by a bull while out car shopping,” etc. (these are all real, btw). everyone does drugs and the whole town is located really close to a government site where they test nuclear weapons and chemicals and shit. this is how i grew up, in this bizarre environment.

i need to preface it this way so that you get that it’s weird. it’s a fucking weird place. i used to listen to the welcome to night vale podcast and make comparisons from it to my hometown, that’s how weird it is.

i only say this so you know that this town is where i got my orthodontics from.

all the kids in my town went to this one particular orthodontist. i also used to go to a dentist in town that a lot of people went to as well. i had a permanent retainer put on my bottom teeth after braces and no one had ever said anything to me about the model of retainer itself or it being weird type of retainer at all. i saw a ton of other people (mostly other kids that were my age at the time) that had the same type of retainer as me too so i never thought about it.

so i kept my retainer in — it’s never caused me problems and it keeps my teeth straight, why not?

however i went to a dentist for the first time in a metropolitan area now, and when he saw it in my mouth his literal first reaction was to say “uh can i ask you a question….what the hell is that”

LITERALLY the words that he said

which in hindsight makes almost too much sense. of course my town of all towns would put these weird unnecessary contraptions in kids’ mouths, and of course it happened so much that everyone just thought it was normal. that sounds exactly, to a T, like my hometown.

my permanent bottom retainer is apparently this prototype that is so rare that he’s literally never seen it before in his life, not in dental school, nowhere. it’s not that it’s an outdated type, it’s just rare as fuck. they were still staring at pictures of it on my chart in wonder when i left the office.

so just know somewhere out there, in a weird ass suburban town where they test nuclear weapons and a good portion of the residents go fucking nuts, there’s probably hundreds of people still walking around with this same contraption in their mouth that exists nowhere else in the world thinking, “yeah, that’s cool. that makes sense. let me go drink the definitely not-contaminated water now and never move away from here.”

This sounds like an X-files episode

………………..yeah, you guys caught me

i grew up in tracy

also i have to add another person’s tags to this since it’s honesty hour because they’re hilarious and true

Honestly I wasn’t even surprised when I found out it was in California. Even less surprised when googled it and found out it was near the Bay Area. That sounds about right.

Im rebolgging just to add that it’s illegal to see the news from the city in UE. Like, LITERALLY:

it’s….what now

Okay, so I looked into it and I think that the town is Tracy, California.

I looked up the bull-murder thing OP mentioned and Tracy seemed to be only town that came up with a matching case. Though the man didn’t actually die from his injuries everything else matches up one for one. So just to make sure that it was the right town I looked to see if there was any murder-torture of young people in Tracy, and unfortunately there was. It was a 17 year old boy who escaped and survived the torture. And just to solidify that it was in fact Tracy I looked up shootings in residential areas and there was one of a 20 year old man who was shot and killed in a nice neighborhood.

Okay, but I decided to look into Tracy more to find out more information about it and the town is super suspicious. There’s been a lot of murders and shooting in the town. Back in 2009 an 8 year old girl, Sandra Cantu, was kidnapped and murdered by a Sunday school teacher who said she had no idea why she killed Sandra. Another case happened in 2018 when four underage boys were shot and one was killed by four teenage boys. There’s a lot of news stories on shootings, homicides, and drug busts in that town. It’s a really cute town from the outside, if you just look up Tracy, California there’s a lot of really cute businesses and nice articles on sweet things that happen in the town, but if you actually look into it the town is really sketchy.

So yeah, this sketchy town with a military base, multiple homicides and shootings is maybe Tracy, California.

How did this post get weirder

Oh god my mom used to live in a town like that but like worse (not as far as weirdness, but like culturally worse)

So. Elk Mound Wisconsin. Very small population, very isolated. The water was neon orange, which is not uncommon in areas near mining. It’s because of the copper.

My mom moved around a lot so she didn’t grow up there, just lived there for a few years, in a condemned house, which a lot of the houses in the town were.

90% of people in the town had inverted nipples. Incest was common. One family had a set of quadruplets that were not identical, but they all died in a car crash and a couple of years later the family had a second set of nonidentical quadruplets that grew up to be identical to the first set of quadruplets. The condemned house my mom lived in was haunted by a (benign) ghost, that at one point threw things off shelves. My mom initially thought it was a trick but could find no way for it to have been done, and the weird stuff continued. At one point my mom poisoned the crops of one of her neighbors bc they ran down her dog for fun (they had serious problems) and the neighbors in question thought she was a witch and burned a cross into their yard. In a separate, later, incident, she and her siblings were walking to school and fellow students and teachers kept throwing rocks at them (sizable rocks, and many) attempting to stone them to death. It didn’t work mainly bc my mom and her siblings hunted squirrels via thrown rock so they started catching the rocks and throwing them back. There was a summer camp on a superfund site (I don’t remember if it was in the town or just near the town) where kids could learn farm work and logging work and earn some money (like a dollar per day, but that doesn’t matter bc it was child labor anyways). The water there would seep up from the ground in neon green puddles and kids splashed around in it and drank from it. This was one of the bands in WI where those magnetic rocks could be found, but the overall magnetic effect in some places was like. weirdly strong. There was one area that you straight up couldn’t use a compass in and people used to disappear there all the time. Sometimes in “hunting accidents” that very clearly were not accidents, but other times these disappearances were unexplained or attributed to supernatural forces. Most of the townspeople had a much easier time believing in supernatural forces than magnets messing with compasses. Which I would blame on the inbreeding and contaminated water, but might not be so unreasonable to believe if you were also raised in a town where some people purportedly had psychic powers. If I’m remembering the correct town (there were a couple ones with really high death rates), the death rates were insane, there were 24 people in my mom’s school when she moved there, and 8 when she left (not counting herself and her siblings in either of those numbers).

I have no idea how much it has changed since then, so I looked it up out of curiosity and found out about the haunted tower that supposedly has a literal dragon under it (lol) so yea i guess the town’s still weird.

I just wanted to say that access from the EU is blocked because that website decided not to conform to GDPR which is the EU’s fairly strict data protection law. This is not some conspiracy to keep the truth from Europeans, this is just that website deciding that it will NOT be frank about what data it collects, stores and what it then uses it for. And due to that it cannot work for EU residents.

This is a GOOD THING for the EU folk because it means your data will NOT be endangered.

category of blorbo called "technically i like them but fanons obsession with them to the exclusion of other characters pavloved me into having a negative reaction whenever i see them"

I had a dream that Joe Biden addressed the nation wearing a Miko robe like a Shinto priestess. He was also visibly 8 months pregnant. He didn't talk about that until the press asked him about it, to which he replied "I bear the child of a great spirit" as if that was like, something mildly inconvenient like getting stuck in traffic.

Laika how did you make this that fast

Who do you think gave you the dream

He…

Everyone's favourite bun boy being cute.

Fire Emblem Awakening is like. Someone has to kill the dragon. Someone has to kill the dragon. This is how the story goes, this is how every story goes. The evil dragon rises and the virtuous hero puts it down and this is how the world heals. Someone has to kill the dragon. But the knight won't do it, he loves the dragon too much, and the knight's daughter won't do it, she loves the dragon too much, someone has to kill the dragon, someone has to fix this world, but no one is willing to do it, no one is even willing to try, so what is there to do? What is the dragon to do? It has no choice but to do the deed itself.

gootbye, end of worl
