I just want to state that there’s more S+ tier, top shit comments in this here nifty little discussion than I’ve seen all year so far. Bravo peoples.
Because tooth fairies only want milk teeth that have fallen out naturally and is given willingly. If it started graverobbing dead people or knocking out adult’s teeth when they are sleeping, they would lose their ability to fly and they would become a dark shadow creature, alone and hiding from the light of day. And tooth fairies love the sun and they love the smile on children’s faces when they lift their pillows in the morning to see what the tooth fairy left them. That is what makes them fly and what makes their stomachs tickle with happiness.
And that is why tooth fairies don’t rob graves.
This person parents.
The dead are fully within the domain of the bone fairies, a more ferocious subspecies of the tooth fairy.
Because the tooth fairy takes the teeth to protect the children from a kind of contagious magic where an evil Magic user curses the teeth, then the child is cursed; but once people are dead, they’re gone and what’s left? It’s just a bag of bones; there’s nothing local on this plane of existence to curse.
Curses do not cross the black sand. That is all.
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.
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?
It’s in the name, fairy aka one of the fair folk. Of course the damned thing functions like a drunk SCP entity. The point of the fair folk isn’t to make sense it’s to induce headaches into men and make the gods question their very nature.
I always thought the teeth were building materials. Don’t know if I made that up or heard it from somewhere though
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.
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?🤔
Pretty clearly what he said
Seems logical, right? Unless it’s only interested in teeth that fell out naturally.
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?
“The 8 yr old”?
The one and only.
The chosen 8. Year old.
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.
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)
those teeth are all where they’re supposed to be. the tooth fairies gather the teeth to bury them.
