Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)
I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.
Edit: Hey you don't need to keep copying out the tags, I wrote all the Minty Hellfire lyrics here. And then someone recorded them here.
Also, I think it might technically be a sensitivity rather than an allergy, but whatever it is, toothpaste is not supposed to hurt! If it's burning then that's bad and you should try to find a new one if possible!

My thoughts on Pitchfork's 150 best albums of the 1990s; #100-#91
Reminder: three completely subjective criteria. 1: do I like it, yes or no? (Basically, is this for me?) 2: Would I recommend it to anyone, yes or no? (is this for anyone else?) and 3: Is it better than STPs "Core"? (The lowest bar. Few things are better than "Purple," but Core should absolutely be in the top 150, so that's the bar.)
100: Jim O’Rourke: Eureka (1999). Inoffensively boring and strange at the same time. It's one of those things that seems very familiar, but almost completely alien as well.
Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no
99: The Flaming Lips: The Soft Bulletin (1999). It's passable. Both in the "not a failure" sense and the "I'll pass on this" sense.
Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no
98: Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream (1993). There are parts of this album that hit me very hard. I was never a huge fan of Pumpkins in the 1990s, and learning what a tyrant Corgan is makes his legacy tricky. I feel like he jerked around a lot of people and hissed at anyone else that he felt was absorbing even a sliver of his limelight.
The music is good. There's that.
Like it: yes. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": yes?
97: A Tribe Called Quest: Midnight Marauders (1993). I am listening to more hip hop as a result of this 1990s rabbithole I'm exploring. Call me biased because of my 16+ years in NYC, but I'm an East Coast rap enjoyer. And Tribe is great East Coast rap.
I'm a babe in the woods when it comes to hip hop. I know I have a lot to learn, and I want to listen to more. So I will. And where I'm at right now: Tribe is great.
Like it: yes. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": yes
96: Primal Scream: Screamadelica (1991). The only song of theirs I knew, I didn't know I knew ("Loaded" is on the "World's End" soundtrack.)
This album is fine. It never blew me away. It's good driving around music, so it does evoke the 1990's for me. But I never heard what I would call "greatness." And there is like...no screaming at all?
Like it: yes. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no
95: Ice Cube: Death Certificate (1991). I get why Ice Cube was important in his heyday. But listening with 2023 ears, this album is misogyny. I think that making songs about violence, drugs, profanity, excess, machismo, and systematic issues are vital to society and doubly so for the time and place this record emerged from. But the misogyny is so off-putting that I think this one is best left as an important influence, not something people should listen to for actual enjoyment in the modern era.
Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": maybe
94: No Doubt: Tragic Kingdom (1995). It's hard to overstate how huge this album was. And hard for me to articulate why it is what it is. It is still full of great tracks. It's timeless, and energetic, and angry and funny and greater than the sum of its parts.
Like it: yes. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": yes
93: Beck: Odelay (1996). It's so weird. Beck existed, and this album came out and I remember everyone saying "it's amazing! Groundbreaking! Album of the year! (though it lost to...let me see here...nominated against "Mellon Collie," "The Score," the "Waiting to Exhale Album," and it lost to Celine Dion?!?!?!?!?! Sweet merciful crap. I mean, I don't think Odelay should have necessarily won, but...come on.)
Anyway. It's fun, it's weird, I like it. Probably like it more now than I did then.
Like it: yes. Recommend: yes. Better than "Core": yes
92: Autechre: Amber (1994). There were way more "lofibeatstostudyto" albums in the 90s than I realized. It's fine. Not mind-blowing.
Like it: yes. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no
91: Weezer: Weezer (Blue Album) (1994). I don't like Weezer. I have never liked Weezer. I can tap my foot when they're playing.
I know I'm supposed to like them. I'm white, I'm a geek, I'm lame. They just...meh. They're not worth the anger I like to whip up for other, more-overrated bands.
Like it: no. Recommend: no. Better than "Core": no

When you look into the mirror and see the person you hate the most because your need for revenge leads you to becoming more and more like him.
Brain worms wouldn't leave me alone until I drew something so.... I do love the idea of Luceris' actions created a monster that will one day kill him and keep the cycle of pain going. Or the fact MC getting revenge could very well mean having to become more like him.
I think this just proves that I love drawing eyes and blood....the blood only being there because I thought it added to the drawing.
Some things about @coeluvr's story lives rent free in my head but it's all mostly just about MC becoming a monster because I think they deserve to be horrible after everything.
