Oh yes! I read that and felt physical pain in my frontal lobes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's a brilliant thing, except that it sounds exactly like shit I get in email to Fury.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, what the hell are they trying to fix by breaking your jaw? I say leave well enough alone, but should your jaw become coincidentally broken, then let them at it.

Is it sad that some of it actually made sense? At least the point that both screenwriters and fanfic writers are using characters who aren't theirs?

What is even happening?
Allyson, do you currently have TMJ or other jaw pain?

I've no pain. It's all supposed to be preventative.
ita, supposedly my overbite will result in arthritis, eventually. But then, my smoking will result in cancer, eventually. So, there's that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to have TMJ pain. Once I was chewing gum when suddenly I heard a loud crunch in my jaw joint that was accompanied by a flash of pain. Also, my jaw used to pop out of joint a lot.

I have TMJ pain. Perhaps I should get hit in the face harder. Getting hit kinda hard hasn't fixed it yet.
But then, my smoking will result in cancer, eventually
Smoke more, I figure. And if you don't die before the arthritis sets in, start smoking something laced.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Nasty TMJ. We hates it. I got it from my mom, who got braces when I was about 8 to try to fix it (didn't work). I haven't gotten to the Very!Bad!Pain, but I tend to hold tension there, now, and get headaches from it. Also pops like crazy.
But medical jaw-breakage is a little extreme for my taste.
