challengers characters and their signature scents;

⤹ tashi wears boy eau de parfum from chanel,a unisex perfume that leans extremely lavender heavy on the opening with a lemon and grapefruit undercurrent. it’s intoxicating enough to draw you in but has a dry quality that means you either love it or hate it,no one is really in between on boy or tashi duncan. it dries down soapy and powdery but not in a lactonic way,there something almost sterile about it,clean and a little cut throat (just like it’s insane price point)

⤹ clean,fresh and inoffensive,grey vetiver is a crowd favourite just like art.this isn’t a scent thats too loud,it clings to skin and honestly works so well in hot weather or on hot bodies. it’s icy lemon and grapefruit work with the sage and artemisia (get it?ARTemisia) to turn almost medicinal,like a french pharmacy.

⤹ cheap,sharp on the nose and obnoxious; sitting somewhere between juvenile and cheeky it’s a perfect scent profile and price for patrick zweig. perfect for throwing on before a match..maybe not for trying to woo ladies but im sure patrick’s charm will get him by. the patchouli,incense and pepper really fight with the grapefruit and lavender in this one and no ones really too sure who’s coming out on top.

I think the pervasiveness of sandalwood as a thing dudes smell like in fics is so funny. How do you all know what that smells like and that a dude would smell like it. I couldn't pick that scent out of a lineup

Everyone please drop words of endless praise and gratitude towards my gf in the replies, her attempts to troll me have led me to discovering my new favorite perfume and I once more owe her my life

omg but speaking of fragrances. I'm gonna have to figure out mossy fragrances because I once heard someone proclaim a certain reed diffusor smelled like a "gross sweaty man" and to my absolute delight THEY WERE SORTA RIGHT, as in, there was this note of masculine sweat in it, but warm and pleasant? as if a guy wore nice-smelling perfume, sweated in his shirt, and hung it on the chair instead of throwing it directly into the "to be washed" basket, a bit like this. the person who was so offended by this scent theorized that maybe it's the moss note, so MAYBE? i'll have to look around.

there will come a day when i remember that i'm supposed to put the sugar in the marmalade after cooking the oranges down

but it is not this day

(marmalade was successful regardless; it just means slower cooking + more stirring to make sure the sugar doesn't burn on the bottom) (lol i have made this error before)

THANK YOU, this is exactly what I needed! My chronic fatigue is so extreme that "easy" recipes are only occasionally within my grasp, and if they don't make several servings it's not going to be worth it even on a good day. This cookbook has tips for making quick stuff like noodles or rice in different ways so you don't get bored, and more nutritious too. It also has frank advice about how sometimes all that matters is getting some calories into you and it's okay to just eat a spoonful of peanut butter to keep your meatsuit going.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It's very simple in places. It's basically the cookbook for people who think, 'I'm really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can't think of anything else to cook that won't exhaust me'. And it's free!

the secret to getting into wine is that all wine tastes like wine. this is indisputably true. HOWEVER, if you try and hallucinate other flavours, there are some flavours you can definitely hallucinate and some flavours you definitely can NOT hallucinate at all. and trying to figure out which flavours you’re hallucinating is really, really fun and makes you feel so smart and cultured

live reaction reading this post

People who try to analyze what happened on Tumblr on November 5th, 2020, often really overstate how much it was actually “about” Supernatural. As someone who has never been in the supernatural fandom ever but dID join in on the hysterical destielposting—it was really more about the stress of the pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

The two biggest Youtubers I’ve seen try to dissect “what happened that November 5th” in video essays both weren’t American—- and I think that explains why they both tried to explain the hysteria primarily via analyzing the Supernatural fandom/the original show, rather than through the lens of the election. And while those videos are cool, valid, informational, and make lots of really well-considered interesting points— I can tell you that me and almost all my mutuals had literally no knowledge or interest in the fact that “oh supernatural had made nods at the ship in the past but the creators were adamant that I wouldn’t be canon” or etc etc etc etc. the first time I learned about any of that context was way later, watching videos where people claimed that fandom history context (that I did not know anything about) was the actual reason for the hysteria.

But the reality is that people latched on to the Destiel stuff because it was a piece of big useless inane zero-stakes fandom news in a time when we were desperately waiting for serious high stakes election news. We were latching onto a “positive “ piece of inane stupid fandom news in a time of great stress, with all the desperation of a drowning man who latches onto whatever piece of wood will keep him afloat.

The core of the hysteria was that Americans (who make up a huge chunk of tumblr’s userbase) were currently glued to their laptops watching the live presidential election vote counts come in. These vote counts were taking an extended amount of time due to the pandemic causing high numbers of mail-in ballots, resulting in a constant state of Election Day Stress for multiple days straight.

This was also during the height of the Pandemic. People had predicted Trump’s presidency would be bad; no one had predicted it would be this apocalyptically bad. No one had predicted pandemics and lockdowns and hospitals overflowing with bodybags. remember Trump spreading Covid lies and conspiracies?? There were so many Qanon conspiracies about democrats being Satanic child traffickers who had to be put to death, and coup threats were mounting from the right wing side. It seemed like this election was a choice between ‘centrist democrat’ and “apocalyptic right wing conspiracy theory authoritarianism,” in the midst of pandemic conditions that people feared would never ever improve— and it seemed like a close election.

Another major point was that Trump voters were more likely to be antimaskers/Covid deniers, while Biden voters were more likely to take the pandemic seriously— so Biden voters were more likely to send in mail-in ballots instead of risking the in-person voting crowds, which meant their ballots would take much longer to count. And so, in many state electoral vote counts, it would initially seem like Trump was very far in the lead— only for Biden to slooooowly build up an agonizingly small lead as the mail in ballots came in, and then defeat Trump at the very end.

So you’re just watching these news sites giving live election updates, refreshing the page every 2 minutes to see if you’re going to live under a spineless centrist democrat or a literal Qanon Dictatorship. And then you go on tumblr to distract yourself, and there’s more election posting, and more agonizing over the votes, and more stress and despair—-

And then it’s been days and we’re right at the crucial tipping point where it’s anyone’s game and the next few hours will determine whether Trump will win, so you need to keep your eye on the vote count, because the next hours will determine the future of the pandemic and your country and your plans for your entire life—

And then stupid Destiel becomes canon! And it becomes canon in the silliest way possible!

If Destiel had become canon at any other time, it would have been a big goofy tumblr celebration? But we wouldn’t have gotten the insane explosion of hysterical interaction.

The entire core of it was the contrast between the inane meaningless stupidity of fandom news vs the actual stressful election news you wanted to hear! It really is best conveyed in that meme where Castiel says “I love you” and Dean indifferently responds with a piece of important election news.

It’s about the contrast between the low-stakes inanity of fandom and the massive life-destroying stakes of a terrifying election. There really was no reason it had be Supernatural specifically, except that Supernatural was a thing everyone knew basic things about from dashboard osmosis— it could’ve been any other equally huge silly fandom ship news about a ship everyone *knew of* but might not necessarily be invested in (ex. Stucky becoming canon, Johnlock becoming canon, Kirk/Spock becoming more canon somehow, etc etc etc.)

I think it’s true that people who weren’t paying agonizingly close attention to the American election news got swept up in it, and that non American Supernatural fans also were extremely excited for purely fandom reasons — but the entire reason it blew up to an unprecedented degree was because of that core of stressed out terrified Americans glued to their computers watching election results and suddenly receiving stupid fandom news instead, and deciding to just hysterically parodically hyper-celebrate this absurd useless zero-stakes news.

I think it was also all elevated by the fact that, as I said before, this happened at the crucial “tipping point” of the election where the next few hours would determine the winner. The fact that Biden began to slowly develop a lead in the hours after made it feel, hysterically, as if the hours after Destiel became canon was somehow the turning point where he began to win; so celebrating Destiel felt like celebrating that slow turn towards victory.

The tl,dr is that it’s so important to Remember the Fifth of November …..in preparation the inevitable hysteria that will happen in the presidential election on November 5th of next year. XD. Personally I’m rooting for Johnlock or Frodo/Sam to somehow become canon in the eleventh hour right before the democrats win
