We used to dunk on people asking random users on here questions they could’ve googled but now that every single google search gives you an AI generated response it’s actually better for the environment to just ask a random tumblr user and see what they have to say.

behold! a continuation of the late spring descent into madness!

i don’t like sorce obligate disclaimer. their dna is fuzzy sweet plastic on my skin. but i had a sample from their summer collection THREE YEARS AGO (wowza) and clung to that crystal prism sample. i detected that base but a friend told me sorce EDP’s don’t actually smell like that at all, so it would be worth a shot. i plunged, and im glad i did. crystal prism is a camphory cypress and elderflower scent. mediterranean summer. with a tonka undertone that marries into it like a soft chocolatey earth. earthy, a bit medicinal, green and fresh. it’s lovelier than i remembered and so beautifully tempered without the oil base. even my mother liked the sample so im very excited to bring it on a trip soon.

i already have touched on reviewing possets beatrice and somewhat beat it to death in my discord server (it smells like the loveliest hair conditioner one might imagine. a sweet and floaty musk, with a lingering almost cakey quality, but is so timid and shy), but vega was the wild card and i’m glad it was. hawthorn tends to smell kind of like minty bubblegum to my nose and this is no exception, but it pairs spectacularly with that special possets grapefruit note. i don’t know how possets makes such lovely grapefruit scents. between this and berenice, i’ve become a grapefruit enjoyer in every season. vega reminds me for reasons i cannot fully place, of being at summer camp as a kid. it could be the woody background of hawthorn; certainly there were hawthorn bushes at camp. it could be that the musk and vanilla and grapefruit flirt with sunscreen and kid’s shampoo. it could be that it almost smells like fresca and i don’t know why. but christ above, this is nostalgic. as always with possets, this is a fine addition to my collection.

reviews for my samples (a witch’s valentine, the moon, and silver narcissus) shall come eventually but for now i relish my grapefruit cocoon.

OK new game. Use this website to see how common your first name is, and then put that number in the tags.

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

What they don’t tell you about getting into bird watching is that once you get into it, you do not get to decide when you bird watch. You can be on the beach of some distant tropical country with nothing planned except relaxing. But then you see a Common Fluttering Nut Buster and you’re like fuckkkkkkkk holy shit guys the Common Fluttering Nut Buster is not supposed to life this far west holy shitttttttttt
