#ESPECIALLY Taishen and Queenie

[incorrect-upon-a-witchlight]

Taishen, trying his first ever cup of coffee: I am ENERGY!

Queenie, an avid coffee drinker, on her twelfth cup of the day: Someone slap me awake or I am literally going to fall into a coma in ten seconds.

Okay, I’ve slept, and I wanna share how I imagine some of the LOA characters (specifically from EOM, Icebound, and OUAW) Smell like, bc I’m obsessed with that for some reason. Not including Twig or Daisy bc those are NPCs

Long post below. Beware.

Minor spoilers for EOM, but nothing too bad

[Edge of Midnight]

Marius: Marius is the only one whose scent changes slightly between his metamorphosis. Pre-Metamorphosis, he smells slightly metallic due to his armor, has a fairly strong musky outdoors smell, and an underlying scent of roses. Post-Metamorphosis, his musk has changed ever so slightly to be more “sultry�� (the way colognes and men’s soaps market the musky smell), the scent of roses is more prominent now, and he has an underlying scent of iron (from blood, not armor)

Lethica: Lethica, for some reason, I associate with the smell of petrichor (rain) and licorice. I’m not sure why, possibly because of her color palette, but I do. Although, I do imagine she also has an underlying scent of roses, because of her feelings for Marius, and how The Duchess has clearly taken note of them

Jericho: Jericho is interesting. Jericho, being a scarecrow, smells roughly how you’d imagine a scarecrow would smell like. He smells like dirt, wheat, old cloth, yes, but he also smells metallic, woodsy, and there’s a trace of sulfur and brimstone (ik those are the same thing, but my mind pictures them to be two different smells for some reason)

Briggsy and Farryn: for the sake of brevity, I’m combining these two together, since they smell fairly similar. They both smell of rot and decay, however Briggsy moreso smells like a mixture of a rotting crocodile and a rotting fish, whereas Farryn smells more like moss and rotting plant life.

Yorgrim: Yorgrim smells like dirt—specifically freshly dug dirt. He also smells faintly of limestone, due to the gravestone on his back. I’d also argue that he smells like The Mists, but idk how to describe that smell.

[Icebound]

Barnabos, Jornir, and Skrimm: again, combining them for the sake of brevity. They all smell strongly of their natural musks, but Barnabos also smells like fish and low tide; Jornir smells like wet fur and wood; and Skrimm smells like alcohol (tho less-so now) and dirt

Taishen: Taishen smells of cinnamon, clove, sage, nutmeg, cardamom, etc. He smells essentially like chai. However he also smells faintly of fire. Idk how else to say this, he smells like a hot cup of tea on a winter morning. I just. Idk what else you want from me.

Queenie: Queenie, I picture, smells like flowers (daisies, daffodils, etc), and honey. Though she also has a fairly strong smell of wet fur and the outdoors.

[Once Upon A Witchlight]

Torbek: Torbek smells like a dumpster and wet fur. I. Idk what else you want from me. He also smells of Witchlight, but I don’t know how that would smell like other than Magic.

Gricko: Gricko smells like the outdoors, and like he spends his every waking moment with an animal, who also spends all her time outdoors.

Frost: Frost smells like ink, old parchment, old books, etc. he also smells of sage, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. Basically, imagine drinking a cup of tea in an old library, and you’ve got Frost’s scent. Tho he does smell faintly animal-like, but that’s partly because he’s a Tabaxi, and mostly because he spends all his time with Gricko and Hootsie

Gideon: Gideon smells also of the outdoors, but in a different way. He smells like burning wood, like his cigars, like ashes, like, well, fire. He smells faintly of oil and metal, as well, and there’s an underlying scent of coal. There is also an underlying scent of cigarettes and Kremy’s perfume, however.

Kremy: Kremy smells of cigarettes, perfume (which, idk exactly how his perfume would smell like, but I imagine he would wear one that makes him smell rich), of a freshly pressed and freshly tailored suit. He also smells faintly of swamp water (or water in general), and however you’d imagine an alligator to smell like, idk. There’s also an underlying scent of cigars, oil, and fire, however.

mentions of events from ep 8 and ep 22 of icebound//

(adding a cut cause it may help a little lengthy)

I'm thinking so hard about when jornir told taishen "do not forget that you have the teeth of a dragon" when the group is having their talk in the cave cause..oh?? oh my god??

like that's gonna live in my head!! rent free!! what the fuck!! And I may not word it best, but imagine having that as like. a reminder that despite being humanoid, you're so distinctively not human. so distinctively predatory (in place of animalistic when accounting for queenie, especially considering they're the most animal related within the whole party)

and especially accounting for when he got possessed in episode 8, when something distinctively not only animalistic but also undead had access to those parts of him? that could've easily hurt his friends with an aspect so natural as his own teeth??

I must explode

"We could! I think you'd get along really well with my buddy Taishen; he's a sweet guy, real bubbly and kind. And Queenie's always looking for new sorts of people around, especially girls. She gets tired of hanging out with us guys sometimes–– Queenie's my roommate Jornir's girlfriend, by the way." Skrimm was realizing he was starting to ramble some as he tried to explain his friends to her, knowing that most people would get a little confused by the motley crew that amassed, not a single human among them and all incredibly different. As Jester gave her healing word, Skrimm couldn't help but give an audible sigh or relief, resting back against the booth for a moment, his eyes fluttering closed. At her question of how he was feeling, his eyes opened again, and he straightened out. "A lot better! Like there's still a distant ache, but at this point it's like after going to the gym rather than everything in your body contracting at once. So I'm doin' good. I appreciate it."

“zap” (legendsofthewitchlight) ((Skrimm and Jester?))

zap, sender calls out to receiver to ask for directions, but as it's late receiver mistakes sender for a creep and tases them.

@legendsofthewitchlight

Jester’s mother had given her countless warnings about men, both familiar ones and strangers alike at night, she knew firsthand how men could be and wanted to keep her daughter safe. So, Jester took everything her mother said to heart, especially when she was walking back to her apartment at night when she heard a voice calling after her, knowing just what to do next she pulled a taser out of her bag and right as the man was right behind her, she turned quickly and shocked him with the taser before quickly making her way into the nearest open establishment to gather her bearings, part of her deeply scared by what could have happened were she just a bit slower or had he not called out. To put her mind at ease, she bought herself a sweet treat and sat down by the window to watch out for when the man who’d approached her eventually got up, keeping her eyes peeled, not intending to leave the store until he was up and passed for her own safety and peace of mind. As she waited, she messaged her mom to let her know that she had to use the taser she had gotten for her.
