Better pictures of mah fangs that I got today! They are amazing! Just just click right in and I don’t need any adhesives or plastic mold to keep them in. They are very very sharp m~
So I know there’s a few of these out. But you don’t really get a good view on what they’re doing so hopefully mine works for you.
FIRST OF ALL! You want a pack of fake nails. MAKE SURE THEY ARE THE FULL-COVER NAILS AND NOT JUST THE TIPS.
(These are the full-cover, if you couldn’t tell)
You’ll also need some nail clippers, AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY(or unholy?) MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN THEM WITH, and an emery board. I’m just using the tips because that’s all I have right now and it’s just for the sake of the tutorial.
So the first thing you’ll need to do is get nails out of the pack that’s close to the width of your teeth. To do this just hold the nail up to your tooth just to make sure. It’s okay if the nail is a little be wider than your tooth because you’ll be filing it down.
(WOW MY TEETH LOOK GROSS ; A ; I’m so sorry)
After that you’ll want to cut the nail into the length and shape you want. I usually cut it so that one side is more steep(not the right word but I can’t think how to do explain it), that side is the one that will be closer to my front teeth.
Next file the nail into more of a rounder shape and file the sides. Also file the sides that don’t make up the point so that the nail will match the the width of your tooth more. Also file the point the tiniest bit to make it more realistic. Fangs on any animal isn’t perfectly pointy, the tip has more of a round tip.
Put the nail up to your tooth every once in a while to check and make sure it fits and is at the length you want.
Next you’ll need some denture glue so you can wear your newly made fangs! A little bit goes a long way and some will squish out the sides of your fang, which the more there is, the nastier your mouth will feel because you will get denture glue all up in your mouth.
This is the amount I use.
Then to place your fang in your mouth just barely touch the denture glue that’s on your fang to the tip of your tongue and press the glue your gum line on your tooth. Then wipe as much of the excess away as you can and rise your mouth out with warm water about 1-2 times to try and clean if up a bit.
For a while I’ve been working on a playlist of songs that sound like Mexican Funeral would play. I thought it might be useful if you’re writing fic involving the band and are trying to figure out songs you can assign to them, or if you want the sort of songs Todd might play in a fic, or just want it as background music.
All songs are pulled from my iPod, and the genres I surveyed with alternative, rock, punk, and indie, with some combinations thereof. I put them in chronologically order, so if you’re writing a fic specifically about the beginnings of Mexican Funeral and need a list of songs that they might have played/covered from that point in time, it’s easier to choose. I tried to make a version on Playmoss, but it won’t allow playlists of more than fifteen songs, so I just stuck to Spotify. Here is the link, and below the cut are the years the songs came out in. Not included is Joan Jett’s cover of Shout and Neon Trees’s American Zero, simply because Spotify doesn’t have them, so while they’re on the list below, they are not in the playlist itself.
