Last weekend I had a very annoying but not extremely painful toothache and made a dentist appointment for today, and in the following few days it got a lot better so I was hopeful she'd tell me it was just a temporary infection, especially since I'd just had a regular check-up a month before. Well it was that but I also needed root canal treatment and a filling, now a temporary one but I have to come back in January, etc. etc. Boo. And on top of that it hurt much worse today than it did yesterday - hopefully that'll pass quickly. In the meantime I still need to make myself eat and drink enough. Ahem.

Unsurprisingly I have done very little today after that, mostly reading and fishing on MCCI. I got another screenshot with Etho today, that was pretty cool, after the first one two days ago (I was so surprised that time I completely forgot how to go into screenshot mode and remove the hotbar etc.) And I saw Scar yesterday, that was also cool. I've now made it to level 33 and the first tropical island, and I finally had some better luck with cosmetics today though I still don't have the ones I want most (the forest witch hat, or any of the rods or wings.) Currently I'm wearing a normal witch hat and carrying a beach bucket, with the new eyeblossom cape, and I think it looks cute.


About a month ago I was asking for podcast recs and [personal profile] scintilla10 recommended The Two Princes. I enjoyed it a lot! I really enjoyed the romance between the titular two princes, they are very sweet. I also enjoyed most of the supporting cast, like Joan and Cecily and the Chamberlain etc. Seasons one and two have big adventures with just the right amount of humor to keep it (mostly) light-hearted; season three had a bigger villain (and tbh a bit of a predictable deus-ex-machina ending, though I didn't really mind), but more importantly it's also a musical with some very fun songs.

Season one has the least songs and is occasionally a bit heavy-handed in its messaging, but my biggest pet peeve was queen Lavinia. She's a terrible queen. Usually monarchies are just something I accept in fantasy stories, but what I can't stand even in fictional monarchs is a lack of care about the responsibility as a monarch, and Lavinia is full-on committed to protecting her son at the price of his own agency and more importantly in all likelihood the fate of her country. Yes they gave her a partial "what have I done" realization but that wasn't enough for me. I wish I could have enjoyed her working together with queen Atossa more. I was relieved that she didn't appear again directly in the next seasons.

Commiserations on your tooth! Hopefully the treatment will resolve the pain. <3

Yay, glad to hear you enjoyed the podcast! Clearly I should listen to the later seasons, too. :D

Merry Christmas!

I hope your teeth will feel better soon. Good on you for getting it checked out before it turned worse!!

Sadly I'm only into nonfiction pods, of which I am listening to many, mainly historical ones.

Teeth are a mysterious body part that seem to get sick and well according to the movements of the planets or something 😑 I hope your tooth issue gets fixed swiftly and expertly!

I'm curious about "The Two Princes" but my podcatcher doesn't seem to have it. Is "The Two Princes" the podcast's full title?
