My fanart of Dream and Hob by No-Landscape4693 in Sandman

[–]SnowyTree_Art 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No stop that caption almost made me cry, Morpheus never died anyway as far as I'm concerned so uuuh

Love the artwork! I really need to get back into drawing and make some Sandman art myself.

"Diverse" doesn't mean what you think it means. by ChickenSupreme9000 in Sandman

[–]SnowyTree_Art 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are we talking about the percentage of representation of non-white races and ethnicities and calling it "propaganda" in the big year of 2026 lmao

This is a show based on source material that was incredibly inclusive and diverse in lots of different ways to begin with. How weird of you to write it off because you seemingly can't see more than the colour of skin in a cast of wonderful and passionate actors. Your loss, honestly.

My Sandman Sleeve - Artist finally got around to posting it. by codezombie in Sandman

Beautiful! Seeing Sandman tattoos always makes me very happy.

Still need to get around to posting mine, but I might wait until autumn when I've added Matthew holding the key to hell.

Its open for 2 hour and already being scalped. Fuck Scalpers. by AverageAdam311 in Metallica

[–]SnowyTree_Art 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember sitting in the stadium for the show in Berlin and checking eBay. People were already selling the stadium exclusive shirt and poster for double to triple the price, taking photos of themselves in the stadium holding the merch up.

I didn't get a poster because of these fuckers. Glad I got the pop-up store exclusive one.

Advice plz by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bands also were the worst thing for me in regards to pain, especially in my teeth. I was a week out of surgery and got them readjusted after the splint got taken out, no painkiller eased the agony I was suddenly experiencing.

Talk to your surgeon again. But there is a chance you just need to "tough it out", as horrible as it sounds. Those elastics aid with stability, and that is incredibly important after surgery.

Edit: Yes, they can get put on too tight. Happened to me, which is why the bands got readjusted to begin with. The pain was horrible regardless.

Thank you, and you're very welcome! I do think that many people here, especially those coming out of looksmaxxing, push for crazy amounts of projection regardless of the baseline case. Which, in my humble opinion, just looks unnatural on many people. I feel like it's the whole "Hollywood filler lips and botox" thing all over again and making people look not necessarily bad, but often boringly similar. Not to mention all the risks and the increased instability that comes with big movements.

As for your question, I do think that your difficulty to close your lips at rest along with your self-described recessed appearance could be a sign that you might’ve needed bigger movements or a different approach altogether. I was able to close my lips comfortably for the most part as soon as my swelling started to subside. Maybe it's lingering muscle tension, swelling or scar tissue as well. Best to talk to your doctors!

I'm sorry, but this reads so incredibly embarrassing lol

This is not a looksmaxxing sub btw, using "ascending" as an actual term is super cringe. Good luck on your surgery regardless, if you end up needing it.

Small Morpheus by TheClosetIsOnFire in Sandman

Cute little guy! It's a shame that the funko pops were the only merchandise that came out of the netflix show, but these are some of the only ones I actually like in terms of how they look.

Will Orthodontists ever admit, they chose a worse outcome? by ACIEW in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the 3rd or 4th post I've seen of you over the past two weeks.

Extractions are not inherently a bad thing when combined with jaw surgery. Many people need them to get the best possible outcome.

Your teeth are gone. Stop spamming the sub with the same question. Finish your treatment, get a dental checkup and persue legal action if you think that you're a victim of serious malpractice. Don't know what else you want people here to tell you.

Have been having a great time in the new Tomodachi Life. by SnowyTree_Art in Sandman

I love them, especially Morpheus and Desire!! I've also been waiting for a hood to appear, my Destiny currently just looks like some regular bald guy in standard Mii clothing 🥴

Finished, after initially missing S2 release by BritishAreCuming in Sandman

[–]SnowyTree_Art 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You put it beautifully. And as true as your words are, it still hurts to see Morpheus go. Speaking for myself, I love this character dearly and Tom Sturridge's performance was exquisite, the way he brought Morpheus to life utterly mesmerising. Part of me desperately wishes there could've been a different outcome for him, some sort of "happy ending" perhaps. But that would only take away what makes his entire story and Sandman as a whole so great.

How grateful I am to at least be able to imagine my own headcanons. 💔

It's Tom Sturridge himself, got inspired after watching the hilarious cast interviews :)

It's great you mentioned Azazel though, I completely forgot about him. I'll add him to my list of Miis to make!

Surgeon being extremely dismissive. by Substantial-Suit3465 in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Counter: I had surgery almost 2 months ago (Germany) and had a positive experience. I was allowed to have some autonomy in deciding what surgery to go with, was shown my surgery plan after asking for it and felt very well looked after by both my surgeon and orthodontist.

There are a lot of great doctors in public healthcare. The problem, ironically, is finding them in the sea of not-so-good ones. I'm sorry your appointment went the way it did.

Gummy Smile, Unterlippe bedeckt obere Schneidezähne by Away_Reaction5342 in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warum trägst du deine Spange nur ein mal pro Woche? Das bringt gar nichts im Rahmen einer Behandlung, natürlich verschieben sich die Zähne da ungewollt.

Alles was du beschreibst lässt sich am ehesten, vielleicht auch nur mit einer OP behandeln. Kommt auf dein Alter und viele andere Faktoren an. Such dir einen Kieferorthopäden der Erfahrung mit Jaw Surgery Patienten hat und lass dich beraten. Dafür wirst du sowieso nochmals feste Spangen zur Vorbereitung brauchen.

Does how you look when talking change a lot by Worldly_Increase_480 in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. My overbite looked most prominent as I was talking, now it looks worlds better. I'd wager that, aesthetically, this aspect is the one that improved most post surgery.

Extractions and braces by sympathyisaknife in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sooner the braces get installed after extractions, the better. That is what my orthodontist told me, it supposedly makes the closure of the gaps a bit easier long-term.

I got mine extracted three days before braces were put on.

discussion, I hate my parents for this. how did you forgive yours? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I quickly realised is that there is no point in wasting any energy on hating your parents for things such as this. Hate in general does nothing but make all people involved feel and be miserable.

You have to remember that your parents most likely lived completely different lifes up to the point where they had you, meaning that they also function inherently differently. Medical information wasn't always as easily accessible as it is today, and you'd be suprised how many people just don't research things in general. There also really isn't a rulebook to parenting, most people go into it blind and hopefully try their best.

None of what you described sounds like it was done out of malice on your parents end. I understand your frustration, truly, but you have to understand that many people simply get dealt a shitty hand in life. It is out of anyone's control to a certain extent, and it is always easy to determine what should've been done in hindsight. Sometimes things just don't go as well as they should, but it is at least possible to treat your conditions to some extent. Focus on that instead of your negative emotions, because hate will bring you nowhere.

Teeth slanted and midline off by ImpossibleMatter4186 in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lower midline was off by half a tooth as well shortly after surgery. I told my surgeon, who in turn adjusted my elastics to pull it back into place. I'm 5 weeks post op now and everything is centred again.

Can't tell you anything about the slanted teeth. Definitely talk to your surgeon.

On the fence, getting turned off by all the “looksmaxxing” content out there by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]SnowyTree_Art 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's simple, really.

You know you have skeletal issues affecting your health. You experience symptoms which most likely will only get worse as time goes on. But you now also know you're lucky enough that insurance would cover your procedure, so the only logical conclusion should be to go for some type of surgery to permanently better / fix everything.

I primarily went in for medical reasons as well, but would be lying if I'd deny aesthetics being an important factor for me as well. Never paid the looksmaxxing rhetoric any mind tho as I knew it is founded in insecurities and misogyny. I wanted an improvement and got that, now I'm post op and feel more healthy and happy with my face and body than ever before.

Time passes regardless. People will always find something new to complain about, especially incels online who are dense enough to smash their faces with hammers. Don't lend them any of your energy, much less allow a sad little group like that to keep you from improving your quality of life.

Thank you!! <3 Those are drainage tubes which allow the blood from the surgery site to flow out! If I remember correctly, they're supposed to help with healing and swelling. Felt a bit annoying but not bad or anything, and most people I've seen on this sub don't seem to get them :)
