Finally gave my old ghostsona a makeover!
(Not pictured, Iris proceeding to launch a crochet ball at Frank and Len)
Had the idea to do it like Len has a Snapchat and came up with this :P
I’ve been obsessed with 60 Parsecs for a month or so now and haven’t posted any art. Here’s a quick sketch of my son Baby Bronco that I’ll finish later :P
Morty! reblog if you agree he needs a hug!
So I can’t brush my teeth. Like, it’s the worst kind of hell. I went to the dentist for a cleaning today and I told the hygienist this, and she was wonderfully helpful.
There are some incredibly soft toothbrushes available- namely, post-surgical brushes. Running them under hot water makes them even softer.
She told me that you don’t really need to use toothpaste- it’s mostly marketing. The foam gets to me, so that is really reassuring.
She gave me two particularly soft brushes and some xylitol gum. Trident is a market brand of xylitol gum, which helps with your teeth and can make your breath smell better.
The whole purpose of brushing is to disrupt plaque buildup. You don’t need to brush twice a day, every day with toothpaste if you brush correctly- little circles, focusing on near the gums (where most plaque builds up). So if you’re having a bad sensory day and can’t brush at all, it’s not the end of the world.
Hell, you don’t even need a toothbrush if even the post-surgical ones are too harsh. Going over your teeth with the same motions using a washcloth is enough.
She wants to find a fluoride rinse that has a taste I can stand (peppermint is the only mint I can stand) but she’s not particularly worried about it.
I go to Dr. Barr in Chicago. If you can get to the State St. Macy’s, his office is nearby. He’s very kind and patient and really understanding of my needs as an autistic person. The hygienist, I don’t know her name, announced everything she was going to do before she did it, and stopped frequently to see how I was doing.
This is really the only positive dentist I’ve ever had- past dentists have been too rough and not bothered to help find ways I can actually brush.
Basically this is a glowing recommendation for Dr. Barr’s office if you’re autistic, afraid of dentists, or have sensory needs. This is a recommendation even if you don’t have any of those things.
Okay so I was listening to Remains of The Day from Corpse Bride and I’ve yet to see a ghostsona themed around it so:
Still not sure how she died but I have it she and her party were staying at the hotel for a destination wedding when she died so yeah.
I just spent 8 hrs on this and now my hands are coated in marker and hurt but I get community service hours for it so worth it
I made earrings that look like Clem’s hat because I had left over shrinkydink plastic
Reggie: (quickly picks up his clipboard and holds it tightly against him) I- u-uh- I guess you did? He gives a nervous smile and fixes his glasses.
Flare: Scared Reggie by hanging upside from the ceiling and wails her arms at him. “Peekaboo! Raghh! Hahahahaha! I gotcha ya, Cotton Candy ghost!”
Reggie: (jumps and drops his clipboard) “AH!” (looks then shakes his head a bit nervously) “Please don’t- Please don’t do that again........I hate jumpscares.”
