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”

[queencatradora]

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

[queencatradora]

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

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.

………………..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

[what-even-is-thiss]

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.

Apparently the motto is “Think Inside the Triangle” and I’m not sure how to feel about that.

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

So you’ve maybe been wondering what the deal has been with All Wounds as a visual novel. Truth be told, I needed a break from it. I wanted to work on other things (mainly Arcadian Rhythms while I was waiting and working to move in with Jenny), and I was honestly burned out from Life is Strange after the disappointing and salt-inducing Before the Storm. And then Life is Strange 2, while being good in its own right, and certainly a more ambitious game than the original, ultimately just didn’t grab me emotionally the way I had expected it to going into it. With LiS2 officially over, and 2019 on the way out, I thought now might be a good time to finally try to pick back up the mantle of the visual novel – because despite my aversion and my muddled feelings about the LiS brand, I am still passionate about my original vision of the VN, it’s just way more time consuming to work on than it initially seemed. In the summer of 2018 I put in a lot of time adapting the written prose of All Wounds into code format for the visual novel. Hours and hours were spent converting the text to code, and I’m sure just me working on it leaves some bugs. I’ve gone back this autumn and tried to continue work on Chapter 3, but it’s been rough, especially when I’m trying to incorporate new daily habits in – writing has been basically non existent for months, sadly, despite things I want to catch up on. The fact of the matter is that All Wounds is such a big story that adapting the whole thing to visual novel format while still working in my original vision of alternate dialogue, scenes, etc. is just very tricky, and I don’t even have assets to work with for a lot of it. I figured it’d be worth asking, then: Does anyone want to help make it? Mainly I could use bug-testers, people who can help me sort out where the VN breaks and provide feedback on the choice-based stuff. But someone who actually knows how to work with python/Renpy and could help with coding would be a great help. I could also use someone who is interested in scoping out royalty free sound effects and the like to add more ambience to various scenes/moments, someone who can help look up creative commons photos that can be modified to work as backgrounds, etc. I haven’t put out a new release of the VN in a very long time because despite how much more code has been added to it, nothing past Chapter 2 is presentable, it’s pretty much all just text past that atm. Anyway, I’m not expecting much from this, and for all I know, the desire and interest on this project as waned by now – but part of me just can’t let it go, I just need to swing back into momentum on it, I suppose, which I am hoping to do going into next year. Regardless of what the future may hold, I’m still pretty satisfied overall with the story I was able to tell in prose, what I was able to make in visual novel format at all in the first place, the people I’ve connected with because of this project.
