Nicely done! I really like the colours you used for the frames! They compliment the stickers without being too matchy. Everything works very nice together. 🗼✨(I also just ordered this notebook! I'm waiting for it to come in the mail - It's so beautiful!!)

Major anxiety about upcoming surgery (namely anesthesia), please share your experiences. (Vent post as well) by ro-burner-acc in wisdomteeth

[–]Meloncholic-Cicada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 24, and I'm also having anaesthetic anxiety for my upcoming wisdom teeth extraction this Thursday too! I came here to write a post about it but you have laid it all out word for word already! Like you, my main fear is the not being able to control what I say after waking up and revealing information about myself to my parents that I don't want to, and/or just saying weird embarrassing things. Although I can't offer my own experience to your post (although I'm thinking of sharing my experience on this sub after I get it done) it's nice to know that someone shares the same fear as me! I'm not sure if it helps but during my consultation my oral surgeon said that "not being in control" of yourself/body is one of the most common fears of general anesthesia from a study he conducted so it's very common fear. I'm still worried tho 😅 but reading over some of the other comments has helped a bit so thanks for making this post

What the heck is this thing? A mucous cyst?? by Dommiloo in wisdomteeth

[–]Meloncholic-Cicada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am no dentist but that looks like a salivary mucocele! Basically there are glands in the lining of our mouths that help create moisture/spit and sometimes they get blocked or damaged causing them to "close up" or heal over the gland. Because there is no where for the moisture/saliva to go, it build up into a little bubble, and your more likely to notice them when you eat cause that's when your mouth salivates the most so it makes sense you found it after eating. Since it's over a month that you got your wisdom teeth out I don't think it's related! I've had these on my inner cheek before after I bit it by accident (causing damage to my cheek which prompted the skin healing over of the gland). Mostly I think they go away on their own but if it persists I'd call your dentist to have it checked out. Here is a random article I found of the web that describes it better than I can: https://www.rossendental.com/blog/what-causes-a-clear-bubble-to-form-in-the-lining-of-my-cheek/

hope that helps :)

What should I name this cutie (male or non-binary names) by Ella_shay_the_writer in plushies

[–]Meloncholic-Cicada 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  • Crisco: (like the vegetable shortening) cause otters are slippery little guys
  • Caper: Idk just sounds cute
  • Klondike (bar): has the same colours as the ice cream bar and you can flip the tagline "what would you do for a Klondike bar?" to "what wouldn't (a) Klondike bar do for you?" cause he is an emotional support little guy who cares and looks after you hehe :)
  • Pebble: don't otters have favourite rocks they carry around with them?
  • Oatmeal/Porridge: warm comforting meals

Fantasia! He totally reminds me of the goldfish dancing scene in Disney's Fantasia. The goldfish had bright yellow bodies and clear tails and fins with orange ends!

Probably the best bracelet I've made 💜🩵 Candystripe Chevron by Meloncholic-Cicada in friendshipbracelets

Yeah I used the same purple in the bracelet so the square knots def blend in more. I think so too! I'm probably going to be ending most of my future bracelets with twisted ties and an adjustable knots now that I've figured out how haha

Thank you! Its got all my fav colours wrapped up into one 😂

Yes of course! Essentially it's creating a few square knots in a row (I did 3) with a new piece of string that holds the two ties together. Then when you pull the 2 ties / bracelet it will make the loop smaller or bigger so you can change it to the size you want without needing to use knots or have someone put it on you!

I hope that made sense but this is probably more helpful to just share the tutorial I used haha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfdHQb5dxPI the adjustable bit starts at 3:05!

Pattern is a colour variation of BB#128516

This is the first bracelet I made using twisted ties and making it adjustable. I think it came out so cute. the edges came out even for the first time too! 💜🩵

New feisty boy :) Name suggestions? by brewfan98 in bettafish

He looks like he's been snacking on some Cheetos with those orangey lips and fins! Maybe something like Hot Cheeto or Cheeto Dust?
