Part of my Christmas haul was some actual oudh and sandalwood oil.

I thought I knew what oudh smelled like. Hell, I thought I knew what sandalwood smelled like. You know, sandalwood? Kinda smoky and sometimes a bit acrid or even bitter? The same for oudh, tbh? Lies.

Fuck House of Creed. Fuck Tom Ford. Fuck Juliette Has A Gun. Le Labo lied. They’re robbing us all blind.

Like, for those who are experiencing this post with tolerance or confusion, allow me to explain the crazy thing about oudh

You have some (but not all) subspecies of one extremely specific species of tree called agarwood

You infect it with one particular fungus

As a self-defense mechanism to this one fungus, the tree begins to exude a resin

This resin, made by this one tree as it dies from this one particular fungus, smells like the scent that wafts from angels’ wings

It smells like if the slow-mo “love at first sight” scenes had a scent

It smells like if soft focus photos of your beloved were scratch-'n-sniff

Every time a fanfiction has said that someone “smelled like x, and y, and something that was indefinably [third person singular pronoun]”? That last thing was probably oudh

I smell so good right now

The gods cursed me with a super sensitive sense of smell but because I bore that cross meekly I have been rewarded with this hallelujah

So 10/10 review on perfume oils from Abdul Samad al Qurashi tell them I sent ya

Immortal Samsara is in my top 5 favorite dramas of all time and it's because Cheng Yi and his acting. He made me think he was ACTUALLY in love with her. He was so passionate and hot.

Sorry for the bad quality but my friend sent me this and I find it fascinating and I need another bsd fan to overthink this with me

im pretty sure aku uses the characters 人虎 which literally just mean man - tiger (or cat)

and ive heard it can mean some what equivalent of a bitch or something but ive never seen anyone actually prove it so

but its interesting how the context changes when its a name - so like when aku's not saying the jinko in fanfics and naming him "jinko"

Since the truth has been revealed, why are you still trying to pretend? When I become the ruler of the world, I'll still accompany you in waiting for the flowers to bloom. Then, you'll know that I'm serious. Wait for me.

[antidotefortheawkward-art]

沉香 chénxiāng, agarwood A type of wood commonly used for incense. Trees afflicted with heavy stress are highly preferred over their healthy counterparts, as it is their infected heartwood that provides agarwood's valued fragrance.

[ID: A portrait of Liu Chenxiang from the waist up, looking forward solemnly. He is holding a mountain-shaped incense burner which is emitting incense smoke. Where the smoke crosses his face, features of a young Erlang Shen are visible instead, including his Heavenly Eye. Behind Chenxiang is a split log of agarwood, the inside of which is infected and blackened. Where the incense smoke crosses the log is desaturated, making the log appear more like a mountain. The shadow of the log extends upwards and where it intersects with the smoke is colored like a 青绿山水 painting. Over the shadow is written “香炉墩 (Lit. Incense burner, Fig. Only son in the family)” from right-to-left in golden seal-script. A red stamp to the right of the text reads "宝莲灯 (Lotus Lantern)." End ID]

Thoughts on Immortal Samsara

SPOILERS

SPOILERS

SPOILERS

So I finally watched Immortal Samsara. I was worried that it was going to be ashes 2.0, and at first it did feel that way, but it quickly turned into its own story. Overall I enjoyed it. I'm glad I didn't watch it when I was watching fairy/devil as I do think this show may not live up to that same excitement. I think it is better than galaxy tho. I ended up reading the novel (Agarwood Like Crumbs) as well (an English translation, as I cannot read Chinese). I think I know why the drama ended the way it did, they seemed to have wanted it to end open ended. I am also glad they released those special episodes with Yan Dan and Ying Yuan reborn again.

I want to take a moment to appreciate the costumes. I think that the costumes were absolutely beautiful. Yan Dan was always stunning in her outfits. I love that each character had their own special motifs built into their costumes too.

I was definitely rooting for Tang Zhao during the mortal trials. That was probably my favorite parts in both the drama and novel. Mortal Tang Zhao was much more true to himself than Heavenly Emperor Ying Yuan. The drama's confession scene was so beautiful and heartbreaking.

I am just soooooooo SHOOK that Yan Dan ends up with Yu Mo in the novel! Did I read the wrong translation?? Like what?!

You Mo is probably the healthier choice, and maybe he was better for Yan Dan, but I high hopes for Tang Zhao.

I think both versions of the story had their pros and cons. But I felt like I wasted my time reading the novel when she didn't even end up with Ying Yuan/Tang Zhao in the end. I feel like he was so much more forgiveable in the novel than the drama, so it just made scene to me that they would work out.

I think that Yang Zi's acting has improved since ashes and hope that she will continue to bring out lovely fantasy dramas. For a bit it seemed like she was always playing the same character, but I'm glad that she has improved. I wish all her fantasy boyfriends luck as she seems to enjoy stabbing them all in the heart.

This is the first drama I have seen Cheng Yi in. AND I AM HOOKED. I will be looking for all his dramas to watch, so excited. Um have you ever seen a man cry that beautifully? It seems like he always has angsty roles? Oh boy.

And man the "sexy daddy arc?" Woo, so good. Cheng Yi was soo damn fine during that arc. Unfortunately, that didn't happen in the novel. There was actually a lot of stuff in the drama that did not happen in the novel. But that's why you just gotta explore it all.

Anyone want to talk about Asian drama? Hit me up!

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk, byeee
