#what would they like?

[fictional-men-have-my-heart]

Welcome to day 18, everyone. I'm writing this late in the day after some long drives and visiting my partner's family before the holidays. Traveling to his family's grandparents made me think of this odd thought of that regardless of whether it's a new house or car, people tend to have this natural scent that is solely theirs.

I kinda wonder what the 141 Taskforce, Los Vaqueros, König, and Graves would just kinda... be?

Price: I feel like since we've seen him with cigars, he'd smell a bit like smoke. Not like a campfire, but a more muted type, such as a faint note you'd catch on his jacket. However, he'd likely be conscious of this and carry mints on him to combat it. Mint and tobacco, plus a mild cologne when he's off duty.

Ghost: I feel like with how much we've seen of him, he'd likely carry the smell of old, worn leather and some crisp clean smell like a typical soap. He probably doesn't wear cologne unless he's off duty, but if he does, it's likely very low-key, maybe a bit of spice and sandalwood.

Soap: I feel like he would take a bit of pride in keeping clean as well, but not to a degree of wearing cologne on missions. He'd likely smell clean most times, which one could joke also contributed to his call sign. For occasions he's not on an op though, I feel like he'd be a bit more particular, aiming for something woodsy like cedar and amber types.

Gaz: I think he's a bit more cognizant of what he smells like, aiming to smell nice. He may gravitate more toward warmer, comforting smells, like a sea spray type. Something refreshing and easily procurable in many places.

Alejandro: I feel like he'd like spicy and sweet colognes. He'd smell clean and warm, maybe a cologne that boasts sandalwood and vanilla with amber and pepper. He seems like the type to put some thought into what he'd wear, and it would linger even after he leaves your sight.

Rudy: I feel like he'd be more into sweet and mild smelling soaps and colognes. There's a citrus and herbal musk soap I came across once that I thoroughly enjoyed. Maybe something similar. It's clean and pleasant, not too overpowering. It's very refreshing, too.

König: Despite being a massive unit of a soldier, I feel like he'd prefer something more understated and muted. Something mild but cozy. To me, I think of something that smells warm but not overpowering, maybe something with ginger, cinnamon, and cedar. He'd likely use it sparingly, not wanting to be overwhelming.

Graves: I see him being the type to put a good amount of stock in first impressions. He'd likely wear something that smells clean, but typically masculine. Something woody and spicy, but crisp. He seems the type to wear scenting with cedar, amber, and mint with orange or lemon to mellow it.

Since I've been coming across more Graves content now, I may include him going forward. Let me know if that's something y'all would like to see or not.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.

"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.

IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??

BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

10 years later

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...
