Aww, I kind of feel bad for hating the tooth fairy growing up😂

Seems you did the right thing.

This delightfully dreadful depiction of the dilapidating tooth fairy made me wonder - what happens to the creatures and characters of lore when people no longer believe?

I imagine it’s not good.

Nyxley telling herself 'no, no' before going back in anyway is the moment that made this click. Enjoyed it.

Thank you. With that moment, I wanted to give a little glimpse into the goodness within.

Loved it! Right up my alley.

Also... did you happen to see the short-film "Dust" starring Alan Rickman? Love the fact that you called the father Alan and that it is about a tooth fairy who has a slight problem.

I did not see that one. I love Rickman, so I’ll go looking for it.

Wow I love this story! The ending is particularly horrifying! Really good flash fiction piece.

I love a macabre fairy story. Great visual too.

Tooth-eating tooth fairy. Yeah I can see that.

That is such a „Neverending-Story-esque“ story! 😂 Loved it! 🥰👍🏻

Where's the animated tooth fairy from?

I created the image in Midjourney, animated it, and then took it into EZ gif creator to get the final piece.
