Wants fresh teeth.
Because the tooth fairy only comes for kids’ teeth, not interested in the adult stuff. Also, what makes everyone so sure the digging doesn’t happen?
So its digging up dead children?🤔
“The 8 yr old”?
The chosen 8. Year old.
The one and only.
How do you know they don’t?
The tooth fairy is the sketchiest of the childhood figures. I mean Santa is kind of sketchy with his big brother surveilance of little children.
Jesus is just a magical wizard who becomes a zombie.
The devil never seems to have much of a motivation beyond “do evil shit, and make one sided deals”.
But the tooth fairy??? What the fuck is she doing??? Running around the world paying money for childrens teeth. What the hell is that all about??? Is it a sex thing?? Is this some sort of cult ritual? Are childrens teeth currency in her world???
Thats the problem with these characters. Their motivation is never clearly defined. I remember my mom telling me about santa when I was 5, and I asked why this stranger was ok to come into our home late at night. But I can’t accept 1 piece of candy on the street, even though every halloween we get a full bucket of candy.
Life did not make sense to me as a kid. Doesn’t make sense as an adult. I live in 2025 where government officials are publically doing nazi salutes, and The Onion reports plausible news.
I don’t get life.
Symbolism is weird and only makes sense to those who adopt it.
Edit: Anyway, the tooth fairy represents the loss of innocence and the beginning of the journey towards adulthood.
You should read (or watch) the Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. May help explain.
I’m not British (thank god), but I do feel weirdly as though it’s… Teatime?
I always thought the teeth were building materials. Don’t know if I made that up or heard it from somewhere though
Maybe the tooth fairy is like a vampire needing an invitation: the tooth must be willingly offered.
But they want fresh baby teeth. What good are dead peoples teeth?
Wrigley’s gum is the chewiest gum
Give it to your friends and chew it with your teeth
Your teeth are bones that live outside
and hang from your lips like BATS
OH
outside bones
outside bones
never forget your teeth are outside bones
and when you’re a kid
they fall from your head
and to make it less weird
we say they’re stolen by a demon
that your parents knoooooww
WRIGLEYS!
Brushing your teeth is the only time you clean your skeleton.
(not technically true but fun anyway)
Tooth fairies actually run the largest group of crematoriums globally, although it’s impossible to link them legally. Why? Because the teeth don’t actually burn, that’s just a myth they perpetrate. They just sift all the teeth from the ashes and get their tooth fix that way.
Prove me wrong.
those teeth are all where they’re supposed to be. the tooth fairies gather the teeth to bury them.
