What Bath and Body Works Scent do the Jojo's wear?

I've been an avid consumer of bath and body works for the past like 12 years, for both men and women and I'd like to consider this accurate

Also! This is only for the animated jojos, apologies, I only recently started reading Part 7 :')

Jonathan

I have two words and they're nearly perfect for Jonathan in my opinon

Gingham 👏🏻 Legend 👏🏻

Smells like bergamot, oak, and sandalwood

This man is into his fall scents!

I think Jonathan would be into a subtle musk and a rich scent but not come off too strong

Has the full set of everything

Erina defo wears gingham gorgeous!! They're gingham god and goddess!

Joseph

Bourbon 100%

Smells like White pepper, dark amber, and kentucky oak

A New York man in the most American scent

I feel like he would buy the 3-in-1 for himself but also not wear deodorant and say the 3-in-1 is just fine

Has the cologne spray to wear on dates, and when he wears it he wears a suffocating amount

Jotaro Kujo

This applies to all parts (3-6taro)

The classic male scent from b&bw

Ocean !!

smells like blue cypress, vetiver and coastal air

Who is surprised by this at all

I think he really would like a clean and fresh scent, something masculine, yet refreshing

He has the full set but he doesn't use the lotion

He'd use the cologne spray for just going out of the house for work or with friends but uses a designer cologne (you know this man is loaded with cash) for date nights and important events

he'd probably use gio by giorgio armani, but this is about b&bw

Josuke

He'd wear something like Graphite for cologne in public bc he wants people to think he's a manly man

smells like sage, bergamot and leather woods

BUT i feel like he'd absolutely use eucalyptus mint for a body wash/lotion bc he likes the way it smells and feels

its so refreshing on the hair and body and feels so nice and i feel like he would appreciate it

he needs that stress relief with all the stuff he's facing smh

he's always reapplying his cologne

this man takes care of himself and he smells damn good 24/7

he keeps the eucalyptus mint (his secret scent) as a pocketbac

Giorno

I think he'd prefer something floral but also fresh

White Tea and Sage

smells like fresh tea, lemon and herbs

this is my fav and my personal b&bw scent !!

He also has the full set of everything, he uses all of it and probably keeps the pocketbac too

he also prob has a holder for it

similar to jotaro, i think he would use the spray for daily activities but pick something designer for things like dates and other important events

Smells good 24/7 and reapplies regularly

Jolyne

miss girl is busy and also in prison so she don't got too many options but she's still serving

much like her great, great, great (did i put enought greats?), grandparents, she's a gingham girly, only she wears gingham fresh

smells like juicy pear, sparkling clementine and fresh daisies

She probably only has the body wash and the body spray bc putting lotion on is too much work (i'm projecting)

[poorlemons]

If it's okay to ask, what is your Birdwatcher au about? I was able to figure out the godhuntrer but not the Birdwatcher

Oh yeah of course! I'm always up to ramble about my ideas. (for ease i will refer to my aus by the abbreviations BW and GH) Ok so Birdwatcher is a lot less plotty than Godhunter. Where GH is angsty, bloody and has an actual timeline now, BW is feel good vibes, a nice break from the more heavy peepaw Leo aus. So there's not much by way of story or potential long-form content because it's more of a thing i can doodle and feel good while doing it. But there still is stuff to it, since it is the older AU. BW is a classic "what if Leonardo went with Casey jr through the portal". So Mikey makes the portal and as the krang hounds close in Leonardo grabs Casey and lunches through the portal, knowing he can move farther faster than Casey. In this au Leo wasn't as resigned to die, deciding he wanted to be there with Casey and ensure his safety. That's his son and he will give that boy a better future even if he has to do it with his two hands. The events of the movie are murky, generally it all goes the same, since it isn't the focus of the AU. Leonardo is wounded so cannot join the kids on the ship, the wound being too grievous to handle the physical exertion it would take to get there. He most likely works on saving civilians and aiding in the krang sister fight. Boom bam the krang gets defeated, Mikey opens the portal (much to Leonardo's horror) little Leo is saved. Everything is ok. Recovery happens, they all slowly heal, Leo is probably wounded as ever but Leonardo is there to make sure everything goes smoothly, and Casey jr is there to make sure he actually gets rest. that was mostly backstory but context is important!! I haven't focused as much on BW's dynamic with his living family but I assume he is very loving and caring towards them, tries to get them to go on nature hikes with him. He becomes another older figure in their life, older sibling type thing, though Raph insists he will always be the little brother. Leonardo and little Leo are a little different. Leonardo adores little Leo, thinks he's just a silly little guy. Little Leo pokes fun of Leonardo and is a little freaked out that his main hobby is birdwatching (little Leo secretly likes birdwatching with Leonardo). But everyone is family and it is great, Casey slots into the role of cousin-nephew-sibling type beat easily. Now to the main chunk of the au is his and Casey's rediscovery of the world. The basis of BW is that they find solace in nature, it is an old memory for Leonardo and a discovery for Casey jr. Leonardo is old and weary, Casey jr is uncomfortable in crowds, so the quiet peace in nature soothes them both. They take trips, visit state parks, zoos, forests. Leonardo becomes friends with Todd and they hang out, drink some lemonade together and watch birds. They also take to visiting the hidden city, to see the nature down there. I have some OCs to pad out the roster, Ellus is a plant wrangler/seller, and Leonardo likes to talk about plants with them. Elmon is up in the air but they could chill with Casey jr, do parkour together. The big chunk of the au is a lot more up in the air because it's very much a 'anything can happen, they're just having fun watching birds and healing from the pain of the apocalypse'. Sometimes I dabble with the idea of Leonardo's brother's ghosts in the form of little spectral birds but that's also wishy washy. Leonardo does have a weird griffin style bird though, I think it is goofy to give him a pet. I mean just look at him

GMMTV2024 Hopes + Predictions

Predictions:

It's clear that G4 is becoming GMMTV's new BW since ON didn't work out. They will definitely have more concerts, and their ship is too lucrative for GMMTV to NOT give them a series. If they do get another one, I definitely think it'll be another school-based series. One thing is for sure though, they will be working like crazy next year.

While we're on the topic, Gemini might just get his het drama. I think we could even see him star in one of GMMTV's classic ensemble het shows or even a non-romance series. If he gets one, they'll definitely try to make it a non-threatening pair (knowing Thai entertainment it could be a slight age difference pairing).

Possibly another MSP special episode, second season or movie. This is one of my most far-fetched predictions but there's something about how G4 pulled out of 23.5 and Mark pulled out of Cooking Crush that gives me the vibe that they want to have another season of MSP possibly giving more screentime to the TiwPor couple.

There will be another The Warp Effect/Friendzone-esque drama that will introduce a BL pair we never knew we wanted. Maybe Lee Thanat X other seasoned GMMTV actor..

If MilkLove shows promise, ViewJune will get a GL.

Hot take but I think we'll get another PerthChimon-led series. GMMTV DUMPED budget into them and, barring a disaster, I can't see them fading the same way ON did.

We will continue to see JoongDunk have international fanmeets, concerts, etc. I can even see GMMTV focusing less on making a good series for them and more on selling tickets and merch.

OffGun will not have a series next year.

I have no basis for this prediction but I feel like either Tay, Off, or Perth will get a movie. (watch me be wrong lol).

One of the babies will get their first puppy love BL, probably near direct knock-offs of either Bad Buddy or MSP, since those were massively successful. My bet is on Indy or Ohm (not a baby but we move) leading. Chokun or Java could be a second lead/part of the second couple.

A GMMTV basement dweller (e.g., Podd, Pleum Pongpisal, etc.) will have their 2023 Gawin moment and resurrect their BL career with a more established, yet unpaired GMMTV actor.

To put a cap on it, I predict there will be a similar amount of BLs as there were last year (9 +/-2), another QL ensemble series (like The Warp Effect), and another GL (likely led by View OR Jan + [insert girl here]).

Hopes

NEOMARK SERIES. Idgaf what it is, hell it can be these two watching paint dry for 45 minutes every friday, just don't fumble this highly lucrative bag @.GMMTV!!

Another gritty series directed by Anucha Boonyawatana (or even Jojo lol).

Another TayNew series, please. I know Cherry Magic hasn't even aired yet and I sound greedy but bitch these two are killing me lately.

Stop casting Pawin in literally every BL if he's only going to be a villainous side character lmao. It takes me out of the story instantly when I see him plotting in the background in every show.

GIVE AJ A BL. Bring back Fiat if you can and let that ship SAIL.

JoongDunk and ForceBook need breaks...shake these pairs up. Give Joong het roles, let Force kiss other men, enroll Dunk and Book in improv! They already have all these concerts and reality shows, let them do that for awhile before filling your entire lineup with just these 4 pairings.

Inn Sarin in anything, but hopefully with a seasoned hottie.

In regards to this excellent post, I’d also like to make a post on how I designed my own logo. Zenith’s post gives an excellent breakdown of what elements go into a VTuber logo and things to keep in mind, but not so much how one gets from an idea to a finished logo. So I wanted to share my process, which goes through most of the basic process I learned while studying graphic design in community college.

Before doing anything else, I had to do research. I knew the general style I was going for; I wanted to evoke the y2k aesthetic, or at least somewhere in the late 90s/early 2000s. In particular I wanted to evoke the bright, optimistic aesthetic of certain games I played as a kid (DDR, late 90s to early 2000s Sonic games, Kirby Air Ride, etc.), as well as the Eurobeat music genre, which I’m a big fan of and is part of my overall “theme”. 

(Granted, I mostly find myself streaming gothic horror-esque games, but... A bitch can contain multitudes)

So with these ideas in mind, I spent a lot of time looking at y2k graphic design, researching different logos (for example, I looked at some racing logos as well), and eventually I put together an inspiration sheet with logos I wanted to evoke. Not all of these are from the same period, but they have a lot of similar vibes

Do you see some of the common elements? Text in dense blocks, lots of bold outlines, often a sense of motion, blobby geometric shapes, sans-serif fonts, bright colors. These were some of the things I wanted to keep in mind for my logo.

With my research done, it was time to design the emblem. I really like motorcycles, and they’re... technically supposed to be part of my theme even though I always forget to post about them... So I wanted my emblem to be a motorcycle helmet. (This also fits in with the eurobeat theme, since racing and driving fast is a common theme of eurobeat lyrics, albeit usually about cars and not motorcycles lol.) I sketched out a few variations on what I had in mind.

I incorporated my horns into the design, since they’re a big part of yknow, me. I also tried a few different decorative elements; The shooting stars are a motif sometimes seen in y2k graphic design, and the fangs are meant to emphasize the demon thing. As for the triangle stripe with the star, it’s meant to evoke the flag of Puerto Rico, but also has a classic racing flair.

After examining the various options and getting input from my friends and family, I settled on the design on the lower right. Next step was doing the black and white lineart.

This is a really important step. A good logo should, ideally, work in plain black and white. Even if you’re limited to just one color, your logo should be readable; This can be useful for things such as printing, stickers and T-shirts, things like that. Ideally you should be able to slap your logo on anything regardless of technical limitations. Am I, or you, necessarily going to do these things? No, but it’s good to be prepared anyway. You never know! So it’s always good to have a black and white variant of your logo.

This is the design I ended up with. In keeping with the y2k/late 90s/early 2000s style, I used bold lines with heavy weight variation, rounded corners, and a double outline. Now if I were really trying to be professional about it, I would have done it in a vector program rather than Medibang Paint, but I fucking hate vector programs and the only person who needs the files here is me, so I can afford to be sloppy. There’s programs out there that’ll let you vectorize black and white images anyway, so eh.

Next, it was time to add color to the emblem. Again, I had a bunch of different options, so I made several variations and asked for input from my friends and family. (I also put the BW version in the corner for reference.)

I already had some standard colors I use in my model and my graphics, so it was really just a matter of deciding how to arrange them. By the way, you can really see in the shading just how much inspiration I took from 2000s Sonic the Hedgehog art! Don’t be afraid to take inspiration from things that mean a lot to you, or... Well, inspire you, lol.

Once again, I ended up choosing the last variation as my winning design. With the emblem done, the next step was choosing a font. Zenith’s post already has some great notes on choosing fonts, so I won’t go into too much detail there, but once again I chose several options and asked for input. Getting feedback from others is a really important part of the graphic design process. It helps you to learn what works and what doesn’t, especially when other people may have different backgrounds than you (Is one of your friends colorblind? Does your art effectively convey its message to someone who doesn’t have the same knowledge of design history? Etc).

I actually chose 15 different font options, but for the sake of brevity I’ll just show four of them.

In general it’s good practice to do variants in regular caps, no caps, and all caps, but I didn’t do that because uh... I don’t remember why. Anyway, I largely looked for y2k or racing fonts. Admittedly Excelorate is super cute, but I ended up going with Hemi Head, because it’s nice and readable. I believe it’s a popular font in the Eurobeat world as well? I know Odyssey uses it in her graphics sometimes, at least. In any case, it looks nice, it’s not too generic, and it’s really easy to read.

After choosing both an emblem and a typeface, it was time to combine them both into a logo. Again, I started with black and white, both because it’s useful to have and it’s also just easiest to add color later on.

I spent quite a lot of time fiddling with spacing and such to get it to look neat and tidy. I added a line at the bottom to add balance to an empty space, as well as a sense of motion. To tie it all together, I encapsulated it all in that big chunky outline we’ve seen so much of.

Finally, color. Since I already had a colored version of the emblem, it was pretty easy to build the rest of the logo’s colors from there. I incorporated the purple and pink gradient I’ve used for header text in a lot of my existing graphics, and again I added a fun outline, and... That was it! The logo was finally finished!

Now, I’m not claiming it’s the most perfect logo in the world. I’m sure there’s things to criticize about it, and plenty of people who just won’t find it appealing. But I think it looks alright, and above all else, I hope this breakdown of how I went from square one to a finished logo is helpful to those of you who may be looking to design your own. I encourage you to do other research as well, and again, to check out Zenith’s excellent post on VTuber logos. (It’s worth noting as well that VTuber logos often have a particular look to them that I personally chose not to go for, but Zenith’s tutorial does a good job of explaining how to achieve that look.)

As a bonus, here’s this thing I made while messing around and trying out different techniques that ended up looking hilariously like the iCarly logo, lmao.

The Lost Locations Of Weng-Chiang (Doctor Who)

BW Media Spotlight is under the weather, but here's a fun look for The Lost Locations Of Weng-Chiang (Doctor Who)

I should really watch the classic era Doctor Who episode “The Talons Of Weng-Chiang” some time, possibly while Tubi has it up if I can’t afford the DVD. Despite cultural depictions of Chinese people that were out of date when the show aired (which is a plot point for the tale as it puts the Fourth Doctor and Leela in Victorian England), it’s surprisingly important to the show. It has the Doctor…

[velvetthetrashmammal]

Okay so I’ve been in a big Pokemon (specifically Mystery Dungeon) mood so I’ve been listening to the Pokemon anime OPs and fuck it I wanna talk about each one and give my silly little thoughts. They’re in order of release just in case you don’t recognize the names. 

Indigo League: Bro it’s fucking Indigo League that shit’s classic for a reason. It hasn’t aged a DAY it goes hard and if you say otherwise we literally cannot be friends anymore I’m sorry. Also it has an extended version which is more of the same vibe but like... It’s like getting more good food. Same flavor but MORE. Orange Island: Honestly underrated in my opinion. It kinda gives off a celebratory vibe? Like everyone ate up Indigo League so much that the Orange Island OP is just the team cheering themselves on. Feels very grand and epic in a way. I like it! Johto Journeys: Bruhhhhhh this song is so good. Not my favorite but GOD it’s up there. It has just such a positive energy and I can’t help but just STIM the life out of me when I hear this. It also leans back on the motif of “Gotta catch ‘em all!” the first OP had so I think that’s just kinda cute.  Johto League Champions: THIS SONG IS PEAK HOLY SHIT THE FUCKING INTRO THING I DUNNO ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC SO I DUNNO THE WORD FOR IT BUT GOD THIS IS LITERALLY HYPE CONDENSED INTO A FUCKING MP4 FILE THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE??? Master Quest: This has a mix of being peak hype, sounding like the cheesiest and corniest shit, and also being the intro song of my favorite Pokemon movie. It’s so good! Not as good at invoking the emotions like Johto League but it’s close! Advanced: This kinda has a really good vibe. It feels like the series is growing with it’s audience a bit and is trying really hard to be “cool” and is honestly succeeding really well. I appreciate the vibes behind this. Also “There’s a hero buried deep inside” I know they mean emotionally but my brain can’t help but go “Bro dig him out??? Can he breathe???” Advanced Challenge: Hmmm, I like it allot. It does lean into a cool “epic” aesthetic. But I don’t have any thoughts past that? It’s just good. lol Advanced Battle: BRO HOLY SHIT, THE ONLY TRUE WAY TO LISTEN TO THIS IS MAX VOLUME! IT’S SO GOOD okay okay no but for real though godddd this is peak Pokemon OP! I have no fucking real thoughts just LISTEN TO IT NOW I DEMAND YOU Battle Frontier: This is pretty good, I do find the lyrics “If you’re strong, you’ll survive, and you’ll keep your dreams alive!” and “It’s the master plan!” kinda... Hello??? Is this weird or am I overly analyzing it? Probably both. lol Diamond and Pearl: I may have not found this season interesting but the second I heard this OP I was READY for PEAK. This song has such a POWERFUL energy that felt like I was about to FIGHT GOD DP Battle Dimension: Ehh, I’m very mixed on this. Some parts feel like a theme you’d hear during a fun adventure (and the focus on the friendship of the cast was nice) but it also lacks a real energy I enjoy from the Pokemon OPs.  DP Galactic Battles: This song genuinely sounds like the end of the series. Like a beautiful swansong! Almost as if they wanted Pokemon to end with a beautiful send off. Besides that it’s genuinely fantastic and I come back to Galactic Battles’ OP allot! Sinnoh League Victors: I’m gonna be honest it’s like... Okay? It’s kinda middling at best. It sure exists you know?  Black & White: The time I hopped back onto the Pokemon anime since it was back to airing on Cartoon Network! I like this one! The start is a bit too slow for my tastes since I prefer the hype but hey when it gets there it really gets there! BW Rival Destinies: I dropped off the show again during this time. It’s pretty alright, I prefer the Black & White OP though, this feels like it doesn’t have the same energy as the previous one. It’s focus on the friendship aspects does add a bit though! BW Adventures in Unova: It sure exists. It takes so long to really get to the punchy parts of the Pokemon aesthetics. I do like it’s focus on the fact that Ash has come so far and stuff. Overall I don’t really care for it.  XY: After dropping off I came back for XY and honestly after so long after Indigo League hearing them essentially come back to that original theme with a twist was amazing! This OP goes hard and high-key so did this season. I recommend XY allot! XY Kalos Quest: It takes so much build up to the good stuff BUT GOD IS THE WAIT WORTH IT! I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE OUT OF EVERY OP SERIOUSLY IT’S SO GOOD! I cannot recommend listening to this enough, it’s full of so much life and energy!  XYZ: Again, dropped the show. So I have no nostalgia for this. All in all though I kinda like it. Not enough to sing it’s praises from the rooftops but enough to give it a listen every once in a while. It’s mostly just not my vibe.  Sun & Moon: IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT SHITTY BEACHSIDE TRACK FROM SONIC LOST WORLD IT INCITES ANGER AND HATRED IN MY HEART Sun & Moon Ultra Adventures: This sounds like the kind of song someone would blast out their car with the windows down and make me wanna throw a rock through their window, pass. Sun & Moon Ultra Legends: Better than the previous two OPs so... Good? Journeys The Series: Woo, back to the kind of energy I come to Pokemon OPs for!!! I have yet to watch Journeys but boy howdy this is a nice bouncy vibe!  Master Journeys: Oh shit sorry I accidentally put on my Hatsune Miku music oops (not bad but... Not the vibe I want?) Ultimate Journeys: Way different vibes from basically all the other OPs but honestly I kinda vibe with this. Not what I expect but still something fitting.  I wrote all these in a single listening session AS I WAS LISTENING TO THEM so uhhhhhhhhh hope you enjoyed? (Maybe I’ll make a tier list of them? Who knows.)

Byers House Candle Aesthetic 🕯

Byers Family Home ✨

Candle: “Sweater Weather” by Bath & Body Works

Fragrance Notes: fresh sage, juniper berry, eucalyptus, fresh woods.

Concept: This is a classic B&BW fall scent (one of my favorites actually so yes, I do also own this one 😂) and it just makes me think of the cozy interior at the Byers’ house. Idk, I just feel that Joyce’s home would feel warm and soft (despite its occasional messiness). Not sure if this makes sense but you know how old houses or knitted weather or even wood sometimes smells kinda dusty? But not like in a bad way. Kinda like how old books smell. That’s what I think of when I think of the Byers home and this candle kinda captures that idea for me. 🤷

This is also the ultimate ST season 2 candle for me. It just gives me alllll the crisp fall Halloween air vibes ~
