He is like a little bunny to me....

thinking about raoul and erik's exchange in final lair: "show some compassion!" "the world showed no compassion to me." because MOMENTS later christine does show him some compassion, and that single gesture is enough to make him throw away all of his villainous schemes and his grand plans for the future and just... give up and let them go.

this isn't a simple case of a morally grey character claiming that they haven't been shown compassion when in reality they have but they're just refusing to see/accept it. once you see the effect just a second of true compassion has on erik, it puts into perspective truly how hated he must have been for his entire life and how painfully true that claim of "the world showed no compassion to me" is.

do you have scent hcs for any pathologic skrunklies? i feel like you’re the type of person who might (/pos)

if you mean scent hcs as in how they smell like perfume-wise fragrance-wise... as opposed to how they experience the sense of smell. well. "i feel like you’re the type of person who might (/pos)" objectively one of the funniest things i've read and also I JUST MIGHT LOL! come here

i don't know if you mean "skrunlies" as in exclusively the little ones, as in the adults i consider skrunklies, or if you use it as an umbrella term but i'm going to give you the scent hcs i do have which includes for characters i would beat the asses of before calling them skrunklies. ok (pulls you by the leg in a beautiful world of scents and smells)

if that's not what you mean i'm gonna feel. well i won't feel bad actually lol #yolo i love to think about it; it helps me write later

most characters i feel have "general" scents and "localized" scents, meaning they cling to specific parts of them: think, leather smell on gloves and boots, clay on hands… i'm going to try to give both general and localized scents when it makes sense.

Dankovsky: he's followed by the scent of his bergamot soap (written about this in OTHTWHYH… teehee), which is a a low, kinda warm citrusy smell, uneventful and relatively subdued. he also wears a relatively cheap cologne which is, too, kinda "warmer" in scent, i think with bergamot and orange. he uses very little because he's trying to have the bottle last as long as possible lol. from his hands and the general thorax area, he also at first smells of formaldehyde (used to keep anatomical pieces and curiosities) and formalin (used as preservative in medical labs). those are strong, astringent, pungent smells usually, but on him they're very subdued because. well he washes his damn hands. it's like… the ghost of formalin clings to him, it's very very light. his hands also smell in the same tiny amount of alcohol from his disinfecting handwash. the longer he stays in the town, the less these localized scents are present, and he picks up the smells of rugs, of wallpapers, of dirt and clay.

Burakh: his body is like cleaved in half by scents, with the upper body smelling herbs and lower body smelling of leather (from his boots) and clay. clay is a subdued but kinda sprawling smell, it climbs up to mid-thighs. it's dull (as in like… low-vibration… like a buzzing drone sound… do you see what i'm seeing) but relatively potent, and is piled up on itself the more he wanders out. the herbs scent starts from his hands and sprawls upwards towards his neck and down near his guts. since it's multiple, mixed herbs, the scent is powerful and a bit confusing. some strains are very… "high-pitched", stringent, very sharp, close to a very spicy peppermint, and other are duller, closer to rosemary or sage for example, or wild, august-hot thyme with the sun crushing the smell into this low, spreading, warm scent.

Clara: i think her hands smell of metal and rust first. she has a bunch of things about hooks, and twisting hooks, so i think her hands smell of that (the metal/rust smell can also be confused for fresh blood). i think her hair smells nice, of herbs: the warmer types, the rosemary-like the sage-like. her coat smells of. you know when you walk into a secondhand/thrift shop and the smell of Clothes But Old follows you? this is her.

Yulia: i think yulia wears cologne, in fact i think she wears THE cologne, which is Kölsnisch Wasser FROM the city of Cologne/Köln. a hit in the 18th and 19th centuries. it's a… high-pitched, clear and fresh cologne with a strong citrusy presence of orange, lemon and bergamot, with a distinct lavender and rosemary backdrop and latent neroli and petitgrain (both bitter orange blossoms oils) subdued smell. however, she smokes a lot (p2 lore of her being a nervous smoker) so she… mostly smells of tobacco. if you yourself smoke you might not be aware of the smell since you're used to it. on her i imagine it's not the throat-grabbing smell of fresh smoke but more the.. dull, buzzing, latent sourness of smoking, through which pierces her cologne like snowpiercers in early spring.

Eva: she smells warm to me. i think she smells of sbiten (here the hot drink made with honey & spices such as cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves/rosemary, cinnamon, coriander). maybe even sbiten with blueberry jam (same recipe but you 50/50 honey and jam) (this is not a recipe ask but i'm telling you anyways). she also smokes and drinks so think the smell of smoke does follow her kinda like it does yulia, but even more subdued from the smell of spices, and the aniseed, kinda bitter and sharp hint of twyrine lingers around.

Peter: twyrine twyrine twyrine… twyrine, so that sharp/bitter/pungent/aggressive aniseed smell that comes from distillation. sometimes, depending on the bottle, the twyre scents of rosemary-like or sage-like pull through, but it is rarer. he also smells of ground ink (put your nose over a black ink bottle now… or imagine what the very bottom of its smells like, with ink chunks that haven't been incorporated into the liquid… that), linen from his canvas, the... strong/bitter/pungent/clinging odor of oil paints and the pungent/sharp/chemical piney smell of turpentine to clean his brushes and thin paints.

Andrey: twyrine too, but less. smoke clings to him from the smokin/opium/haschish den of the broken heart, and i don't smoke and don't do hasch but i know it has a specific smell so i think that follows andrey around too. but mostly, kinda cloaking these smoke smells, i think he smells of metal from playing with his knife blade. the sweat of his hands traps the smell of the metal blade into his skin.

Rubin: pungent low droning leather smell (for P1), herbs and soil. the scent of herbs does not cling to him the way it does burakh, but it is still present. there's an underlying rusty scent too, from being in the Warehouses but also from blood, which is cloaked by the leather smell. for P2, same but no leather, instead the smell of heavy, old garments.

Lara: mint soap to me. a subdued, uneventful, covering but relatively thin layer of mint soap, mixed with milk and honey. it's this… wrapping, cushiony scent, but it's so low that you feell like reaching for that cushionness and find nothing but her and her thin arms and her heavy grief.

Anna: i think she smells sugary sweet. like a very high, tart peppermint smell. it smells not articifical as in manufactured, but artificial as in She Does This On Purpose, like she's trying to drown out other scents.

Maria: she smells purple (and why she ourple... etc). i'll try to explain it because like mentally i'm stepping into her room and it's all red blues purples in that low pink light and it smells Purple. it's a low, droning but powerful smell. it's very floral, close to violets, but more than that it's also sweet, like hard violet candies. it kinda… hovers right above the ground here she is like a very low fog. abive her waist, she smells very clean, very cold; a short of… ghostlike, winter-morning-scent cold which meshes with the sweet, sugary violet.

Katerina: very dark wood and its veneer, heavy velvet, and a same hint-of-floral-and-sweet of violet candy, but it's evasive, elusive, it seems to avoid her in the way it avoids your nose.

Grace: she's followed by the smell of twyrine of her deceased parents, it's this… high-pitched peak that's completely drowned by the passage of time. it's more potent when she moves around because it seems to be living in her hair, so when she shakes her head it is aired out. she also smells of rain-soil, you know how the dirt smells after a short rainshower… that.

Murky: murky :) she smells of the old, creaky wood of her little wagon and of soil; it's not really the same wet soil scent as Grace, more of a… high-august dry soil smell, with the warmth of it. at night, the scent also grows cold like the earth would.

all i can think of now mostly bc those are the characters i think the most about but you know. if you want me to diagnose a character i haven't mentioned with Smell. send away
