Kahori Higashi on the Smells, Personal History, and the Dreams that Went Into Her Film Memories of His Scent においが眠るまで [Osaka Asian Film Festival 2024 Interview]
March 2024 will be extra busy for director Kahori Higashi. She is a director rising through the indie ranks who has two films that will be screened in the month. At the end, she will be unveiling Toritsukushima とりつくしま, a film based on a collection of stories written by her mother Naoko (source) but before that, her sophomore feature, Memories of His Scent (2024), will be screened in the…
when satoru crosses his fingers to open his domain he gets a bit hard. he also gets that obscene grin splattered on his face—one might think he really is a jujutsu obsessed freak getting aroused by the fact he’s about to fight
but little do they know that he’s smiling and twitching because those very fingers of his were inside you shortly before that, and— they still smell like you
4am thoughts: Vox craves constant stimulation of all of his senses. If he had access to taste or smell anymore, he’d probably try to seek out sensations for them too, as he does with sight, hearing, and touch.
by the power of modern day AU, I am delighted to announce that Fulj can have a girlfriend ! I haven't named her yet but have a few in mind so ... soon (TM). She is the one that she loved in canon before the whole memory wipe and as you can see, penchant for black, black hair, brown eyes, and prone to weird statements. Perfect balance to Deacon's weird questions.
HOWEVER ! I mentioned the problem of Deacon still having facial blindness to someone and how there is no glow from the deities for him to identify them. And her solution is the funniest thing ever so I have to do it. He identifies people by smell. So when he is in the same room as Ymber and Oh when they first cross paths, he doesn't really think about it. But later when he sees Ymber alone and gets the same kinda scent, same cologne or something, he knows that's not the taller guy therefore that's his scent ! Perfect!
So... unfortunately.... Deacon really can't beat the weirdness allegations in AUs...... he's stuck like that. Fulj has referred to him as a guard dog in canon and now he's a tracking dog. RIP to him.
(and because Deacon gets my facial blindness I am giving Fulj's girlfriend ANOTHER trait of mine I wouldn't wish on anyone because it's also really funny. She can't smell. She can taste ! She just can't smell. So she loves talking to Deacon because he explains smells as foods for her to get the vibe across. Which are REALLY weird conversations no one else wants to hear.)
an extremely fun video showing a HUGE gap in our noseworktraining. I neglected to teach Mav how to do a proper container search so for a while there he just alerted to all containers, whether they had scent in them or not.
we eventually got it sorted and he finished his novice and open nosework titles, but this was funny to me while it lasted
hey guys what if opening day of The Bear Richie wears cologne
not friends & family night, i mean the honest to god opening
what if it clearly smells cheap and unrefined and of teakwood and lemon
what if after that everyone winds up getting him a more refined, expensive cologne as a gift, assuming he's wearing it just because it was all he could really afford to get
what if everyone but Carmy pitches in
what if Carmy has to spend a good few minutes outside opening night because he nearly said Mikey instead of Richie because he could swear to god he smells that stupid cheap cologne Mikey wore in high school to cover up the smell of cigarettes

Kaeya has a habit of stealing and hoarding little things from people he loves. Small seemingly innocuous items going missing at random? Chances are, Kaeya is behind it.
During our Mocks last winter, as I was leaving an exam room with C, I complained that it was too cold inside. I had another exam there later, so he asked if I wanted to borrow a jacket from his department, and I almost said "only if it's yours". I didn't even start to properly have feelings for him yet, but it was so real of me.
