entranceway | [VIDEO] these bones in my jaw- they don't have a flaw.

[So here’s Mabel sitting at her craft table in her room, surrounded by her piles of stuffed animals. It looks like she’s about to make the world’s cuddliest State of the Union address.]

Hi, Wonderfriends!

As you know, I, Mabel Pines, am an expert at problem-solving. I not only solve my own problems, but the problems of my friends, and I have the scrapbooked evidence to prove it! Plus I’m co-leader of Angel Investigations- we make your mysteries history. Aw yeah, nailed that plug! [she high fives a stuffed animal, and then sighs and leans back.] But as surprising as it is, there are some problems I can’t solve. You see, I’ve been in Wonderland for two years now, which means I definitely haven’t been to the orthodontist. [and here, she smiles, revealing her braces, which she gestures to.] These things? Do not tighten themselves, guys. And since I kiiinda don’t want a super messed up mouth while I’m in Wonderland, I only have one question for you.

[and here she looks deeply pained, all the casualness gone from her tone, because believe or not, people, untightened braces are uncomfortable as hell.] Is there a dentist in the house??

[GASP] Are you an actual dentist? I knew we had to have one here!

Indeed I am. And seein' as I have only recently arrived, it's entirely possible there was not one until now.

Whoa. You're like an angel with a luxurious mustache sent to save me from my torment.

[dial it back Mabel.]

[ whoa there, mabel. ]

I wouldn't go so far as to say I was an angel. [ just a near-immortal. ]

I dunno, guy. You've got crazy good timing. Sounds like a miracle to me.

You say miracle, I say coincidence. Ain't no such thing as miracles, little darlin'. There's a rhyme and a reason behind everything, even a fanciful place such as this.

[o-m-g. he just called "little darlin'" like a real cowboy. SHE IS LIVING.]

Shh shhh don't take all the magic out of it, cowboy-dentist guy.

[ hold on now. he's a dentist from georgia, not a cattle driver from texas — nevermind the fact that in his day "cowboy" was more used to describe outlaws and wanted men. ]

Ah, but I am only one of those things, and it most certainly is not a cowboy.

[okay but consider this:]

I didn't think any other kind of person used "little darlin'" unironically.

[she's from 2012 and "unironically" has entered a twelve year old's vocabulary. god help us all.

note that she definitely dropped into a southern accent when she said "little darlin'." nice...]

[ it's 2017 where he's from (it's complicated) and nobody has questioned his vocabulary. ...save wynonna and rosita, but they are in the know and likely do so just to aggravate him. ]

Well, I do. But I am also from Georgia, and my momma raised me to be a proper gentleman.

[okay fair. she will accept that. as she is from California and most Californians probably assume all of the south is weird rednecks.

besides, she's been watching Dipper internet argue with the poor man for about five minutes, so she lowers her voice and adds:]

Sorry about Dipper. He's kiiiinda intense. It's a twin brother thing. Or maybe just a brother thing...

I'd say it's a family thing, but in my experience, siblings especially do tend to look out for their own with a certain amount of vigor that others simply cannot conjure.

[ not just the earp sisters of present, but wyatt and his brothers as well. ]

[you're so eloquent, mysterious dentist-guy.]

Yyyeah. If I can convince him, you're probably gonna have to deal with him and my Grunkle Stan standing in a corner. Sorry about that.

In a corner in the next room over. Unless a person is child that needs to be accompanied by a parent, there's no need for anyone else to be in there while I am working.

I mean thanks for respecting my near-womanhood. More points for you, guy.

You're welcome, I suppose.
