took my dog on the shittiest little walk ever and now we’re both hot, itchy, and disappointed

[sexhaver]

the people on the last poll complaining about all weed universally smelling like skunk/piss but then waxing poetic about the subtle spicy notes of pipe tobacco... either you've never smoked weed and are basing the smell off someone smoking $100/oz Mexican brick pack in a poor neighborhood, you haven't smoked or updated your mental image of how weed smells since high school when you were also smoking $100/oz Mexican brick pack that your friend Terry charged you $20/g for, or you do smoke weed but suck at buying it

•he loves video games, his favorite being postal 2 (hes OBSESSED)

The Gang React to Weed

Happy 4/20, here's a thing.

(I'm imagining that demons have the same reactions to weed that humans do. I don't think they actually would have the same reactions, but theoretically...)

Oh, and to make my own bias clear: I'm not a fan, personally. I can't think about weed without thinking about the smell. The stink. So I'm not sure if the focus on the smell in these comes off as weird or not, but it's so powerful in my mind, it must be addressed.

Lucifer hates weed. Don't call that the Devil's lettuce, he wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. It smells like skunk. It's revolting. Don't use it in his house. Don't use it in his presence. Don't use it. It's antithetical to everything he believes in.

Mammon...would stone. I see him as someone who uses one of those vape pens on the DL (not nearly as smelly, so much safer to use in the House of Lamentation) but he'd also like gummies and weed brownies. Being stoned is just fun. It's pleasant. It's relaxing. Chill out, Lucifer, you're harshing the vibes, man.

Leviathan is nervous about weed. He has this idea that there's a way he's supposed to react to cannabis, and when he doesn't, he feels like there's something wrong with him. He's supposed to feel all chill and groovy, right? So why does he just feel dizzy? Why is he not relaxed? Why isn't he chill?! Why isn't he groovy?!?!?! He probably psyches himself out too much to enjoy it. He's too nervous about the social expectations.

Satan is kind of ambivalent to weed. He doesn't particularly enjoy it. I don't think he'd like feeling intoxicated in general because of the lack of control. But at the same time.... it pisses Lucifer off so much, how can he not appreciate that? He doesn't like the smell either, so if it wasn't for Lucifer, he'd be the one complaining about it, but as it stands, he's perfectly willing to enable his brothers who do like it.

Asmodeus doesn't mind it in moderation, and only in edibles. Again... the smell. He will not tolerate smelling like anything less than a bouquet of roses. He only really uses it socially.

Beelzebub can't have cannabis. And I know you know why. The cravings. You can't just take gluttony and make it hungrier. It Devours. Once, Mammon left some weed brownies unattended, and he was strung up by Lucifer for days, not because he brought pot into the house, but because Beelzebub ate them and went on a mindless rampage through the Devildom, eating his way through various businesses and even a few historic landmarks. Everything was game: stone, dirt, wood, you name it. The bottomless pit just became bottomless-er.

Belphegor likes it. Similar to Mammon, he doesn't want the hassle of Lucifer getting on his case, so he prefers the vape pen, since it's less smelly and also Beel-safe. It makes him feel cozy and relaxed, because if Belphie needs anything, it's something to help him fall asleep more easily.

Diavolo loves it! But since Lucifer hates it, he doesn't use it very often. I actually imagine he and Solomon occasionally hang out and smoke. Only very rarely, because he's much too busy to be fucking off with some tricksy wizard and getting high, but it happens from time to time.

Barbatos is indifferent to it. What's some intoxication in the face of millions of years of experiences and virtual omniscience? It won't affect him. But please, young master, if you must indulge, change your clothes after. The scent has a way of clinging to fabric...

Solomon loves weed! It's so fun. What a great way to take the edge off. Mind-altering substances are very fun for a guy who's seen it all, even if cannabis is relatively lowkey. When he senses that the moment is right, he'll whisk Diavolo away every now and then and hang out in some scenic location while smoking. He has a fantasy that one day, Diavolo will spontaneously suggest they make a pact during such an occasion. It hasn't happened yet.

Simeon isn't interested in getting high. It's not for him, or for any angels, really. I wish I had a more nuanced picture of him for this prompt, but I'm just picturing a meme with Simeon's face saying "Don't get high: get saved."

Luke is a literal child.

"What's that awful smell, Simeon?"

"Oh, that's just some Devil-grass burning. Some demons enjoy the sensations inhaling the smoke causes."

"Demons would like something like that!"

[yokakaiju]

i got bored and made a tierlist based off who smokes the most weed

justifications under cut

so like i made this cause its funny first and foremost, but i did put like somewhat actual thought into this. not much, but synapses were firing in my brain putting this together

also im not tagging everyone, ill just like pick 2 or whatevs

okay so first up is chidaruma. dude prolly invented weed ngl. you know he's smoked everyway imaginable: blunt, pipe, bong, can, apple, vape, synthesized, edible, hotbox, blower; you name it, he's done it. he's kinda over it, but he's still up there just cause like... idk he is and won't take criticism

haru is a beautiful weed smoking gf thats literally it

13's entire schedule is probably wake up, smoke, jerk off, sleep, eat, smoke, jerk off, eat, smoke, repeat. he also would probably kin jesse pinkman

ton is a bitch and smokes all the cross-eye commanders weed. like they'll save up for MONTHS to get like 5oz (one for each of them :3) and he'll be like, "woah! a bag of weed!" and smoke it ALLLLLL in like an hour. he's like a truffle pig for weed, they can try to hide it but his ass always finds it and smokes it all. he would prolly also call it za or skunk or some shit like that

ebisu isn't quite in the high 24/7 catagory, but she could be. dawg loves weed, like she is also 100% a fucking master at rolling blunts she rivals chidaruma at it. rolling blunts is like a sport for her tbh

aikawa's gotta cope dawg. like if he aint at school or currently being possed by demons his ass is smokin that shit bruh he needs a minute to chill. also he's got crazy money (kai's money but shhh) so he might as well spend it on his pookie <3 (risu)

noi may be controversial being up so high, but hear me out. weed smoking gf? i think yes B) mogs at you

asuka also has to cope, but its cause shes a blackpilled femcel (her own words i stg)

chota would smoke, but he hates the smell and doesn't want it to ruin his clothes and shit. he prolly wears like silk gowns and dances around to madonna while trippin off like 10g. he's livin the life tbh

OKAY HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT johnston. fucking johnston is only i repeat ONLY UP HERE‼️ because kasukabe gives him those little non thc thc pills people give to dogs with anxiety and agression issues to keep him calm

poor dokuga cant share with his besties so he's been condemed to eating edibles alone... also smoking/inhaling smoke makes him drool a bit so like a bit deadly for everyone around him to even try. i like, debated on putting him in never, but tetsujo prolly cooks smth up for him so he doesn't feel left out <3

natsuki is only at the top of sometimes because she probably would more if she had money. also she sucks in a blunt rotation cause her ass ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL tries to hold it in and always coughs like a mfer and taps out after like one hit

vaux just makes sense. he looks like an average 30-40smth nu metal oldhead, theres no way he DOESNT smoke at least a little. id put him in 100% but he's also a fairly responsible doctor so liek idk

kasukabe doesnt as much anymore, mostly only when he's with haru, but he still does sometimes for funsies cause he's just chiil like that :3

tetsujo doesn't thattt much cause it fucks with his already dog shit depth perception super bad, but sometimes if ton or the others dont find it he shares it with dokuga and they like yuri pose and eat edibles together or smth idk

ik kaiman is gonna be controversial being so low, but listen. 1) his ass is too focused on socerers and shit to care 2) he's dirt poor. he simply cannot afford it 3) how tf is he gonna smoke with no lips? that blunt would just get chewed to shit. like genuinely he would maybe get one singular edible if nikaido or vaux were feeling nice, but other than that its like, idk almost never for him

i would but shin in never, but ik noi is like "boss!!!! come take hits off this bong with me!! its gonna be so sick omg you HAVE to come smoke with me RN!!!!" and he'd be like "sighhhhhh... anything for my weed smoking gf ig..."

ushishimada is only so low cause i feel like he's too mothery to smoke a lot? like, he's too responsible, but not responsible enough to outright say no. also they're poor asf and ton always smokes it all

fukuyama would get his ass kicked by tanba if he found out, but ik dawgs gotta take a load off sometimes tbh

now again, controversial take but i have reasons. risu is so fucking poor. like, genuinely he is too worried about his tuition, bills, and groceries to give af about it (also cause aikawa is a bitch and makes him pay for everything cause "i forgot my wallet oopsie :3c"). now aikawa does supply him tho and he hooks him up with the primo shit ong. so at least when he does smoke he smokes that good shit (also they yuri pose as well while they smoke)

again, saji is too mommy to smoke that much weed (also another case of being too poor). bro doesn't want his clothes and needlework to smell like shit, which i respect

ai 100% would if his ass wasnt so busy with his damn self expiramentation bs. like, he wants to smoke so bad tbh, but he's like "sigh i gotta work on my plans to rebuild my body from the ground up.. maybe tomorrow" stares longingly out the window imagining how cool smoking weed is

again, kai's over here fuckin "i have to go to work" like he genuinely just doesn't care or have time. he's never even thought about it tbh, like you're tellin me this mfer has had a single thought outside of total domination in his entire existance??? HELL NAH HIS ASS DOES NOT THINK HE HAS ZERO THOUGHTS IN HIS HEAD I STG

now this may also be controversial. why isn't by beautiful coquette cottagecore angelcore babe out there rolling and smoking the fattest blunts known to man? turkey just like doesnt feel it. its not for her tbh. she tried smoking, she tried edibles. she just wasnt a fan tbh. like, she'll cook up some of the tastiest edibles you've ever had if you ask, but she just aint a fan

kirion also just doesn't feel it tbh. again, its not for her and thats alright

wow surprise surprise another controversial take. like, before you get mad just think abt it for a sec. like, she's so fucking business first and always has been that i think she would just see it as a major hinderance on her job performance, as well as the performance of her employees later down the line. now im not saying she's a narc or hardass about it, im saying she just doesn't feel it. the high she gets from people enjoying her food and making money is enough for her tbh. also she does do edibles sometimes, but mostly like when it rains in hole to make it a little less miserable and painful

en is about the same. like, he def has. he's just like, idk. he doesnt wanna. its not for him anymore. he doesn't care if anyone in the family does it, but they better not sacrifice the quality of their work for it. like if he catches you high on the job its prolly like some sort of repremanding, but off the clock he dont gaf

genuinely copy paste nikaidos shit for tanba. he's too worried about his business to even consider smoking weed

now... kawajiri is a fucking narc and a half. his ass would be like "erm ☝️🤓 well actually" and then give a big long speech about how weed is bad blah blah blah whatever no one cares dawg stop fuckin yappin. but like, he's just pissed cause no one will smoke with him or share their weed with him cause he's such a hardass

fujita is kinda weed smoking gf coded, but like ik his ass would be like "EN! EN! I SAW EBISU SMOKING A BLUNT THE SIZE OF HER OWN FOREARM AND TRYING TO SHARE IT WITH KIKURAGE!!! YOU NEED TO STOP HER RN!!!!" but hes only like this cause when he was in a blunt roation with shin, noi, and ebisu they all told him holding it in made you higher, but he ended up puking and they all laughed at him and made fun of him for it because hes a fucking idiot. so now he's an evil little narc who squeals to en when he even catches a whiff of a skunk like scent

curse is a bitch and ik his ass is like "RAAAHHHH‼️ I GOTTA GO KILL THE CROSS-EYES BOSS RAHHH‼️ I NEED TO SEEK REVENEGE FOR MY MURDER RAHHHHHH‼️" like dawg chill tf out be so real rn. he's too focused on revenge and shit to smoke and like, i think if he did smoke and kai also smoked they'd have beautiful hot sexy yaoi, thats just me tho

oh my god shou is such a bitch about it. like sure kawajiri gives lectures about the "scary true reality of weed" and fujita is a narc, but this guy. oh my god this mfer. THIS IS THE REAL REASON EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT HIM ITS CAUSE THEY KNOW HIS ASS IS GONNA WHINE AND BITCH AND MAKE YOU GO TO LIKE AA OR NA OR WHATEVER FOR IT!!!! HE'LL START CALLIN YOI AND ADDICT AND SAYIN ITS A GATEWAY AND SHIT AND HOW THE DEVILS WILL IMMEDIATLY DRAG YOI TO HELL AND TORTURE YOU FOREVER IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT OH MY BALLS

kikurage is literally just a dog dawg. her ass dont even know what weed is

store crow mauler is like... idk man. idk how it would smoke weed or if it even knows or cares what weed is. whatever, its kinds like a pet so whatevs

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

WIBTA for asking my roommate to stop smoking in our apartment?

🍃🍃🍃 <- For identification.

I (20, M) live with one roommate (22, F) in a college apartment. We were pretty cool with each other when I first moved in. She’s an art student who focuses on African American styles, and I’m the whitest engineering student on the face of the planet, but we got along well. Except for one thing: she smokes so. much. weed.

Weed isn’t legal in our state. I only smoke tobacco, but I don’t really care what other people do. But I can’t even use our common areas unless I spray febreeze and open our one window, because the smell is constant. When I first told her that it bugged me, she started burning incense to help hide it. Which would be great, if it actually did anything. It didn’t. Now the whole place smells like weed and incense. Even my bedroom, which is two doors separated from the living room where she smokes, reeks of weed. I keep a wax melter on all day just to try to make my private living space not smell like a fucking skunk.

But… she hasn’t spoken to me in three months. We still live in the same space, and I try to talk to her, but she acts like I don’t even exist. (This is probably because her family called the cops to our apartment one time because she wasn’t answering their calls, and I didn’t answer the door even when the cops started throwing shit at my second-story window. Because, y’know, if someone is throwing shit at my window I’m not opening the fucking door for them. But that’s a whole Thing.)

I’m exhausted with not being able to use the space that I pay for because it smells so bad that it makes my eyes sting, but I really don’t want to piss her off even more by having our first conversation in three months be an argument. I also worry that it might be rude to tell her that she can’t do some activity in the space that she lives in.

Would I be an asshole if I were to confront her and ask her to either quit or find somewhere else to smoke? (And if so, what else can I do?)

What are these acronyms?

[boxingcleverrr]

Dear Neighbor,

You live down the hill from me, right on the lake's edge. Clearly, you are trying to be a humane person and TNR some of the local feral forest cats, which....

...is a Sisyphean task. This is The Woods. There is nothing you can bait that nice new drop-trap with that will not also attract a fox, raccoon, possum, or, as you are very quickly learning, SKUNKS.

In fact that is all you are catching - skunks. Every few days, I see a skunk in that trap right below me. I'm pretty sure it's the same few skunks, over and over, cause our skunk population is doing just fine. And worse, YOU DON'T CHECK THE TRAP EVERY DAY?!

This is your second home, I have gathered. You are here a few days a week. You are about to have animal control called on you, frankly, cause I watched a skunk wait, slowly slowing, in your drop trap, for 3 days.

Whatever you have going on there is uh, doing a lot more harm than good. You're torturing skunks, basically, and guess what they DO when they're distressed thusly? So yanno, you're torturing your neighbors as well. There is a constant cloud, and crying skunks.

...am I about to wield justice for skunks? Maybe. One of the local animal control guys was our Weed Man at the mall back in the day, so. Please stop I hate confrontation but I hate seeing sad animals more. Even skunks.

[urfavlarry]

How about some hcs for Velvette?

warnings: swearing, bad grammar, might be an OOC Velvette?? idk , mentions of cigarettes and w33d

——————general hcs + reader insert——————

Velvette had an emo phase. I will fight you on that.

“mom its not just a phase”

I believe she would 100% skip school to go smoke either cigarettes or possibly weed. She would also sneak out to go to parties and just gotta add that she definitely had strict parents. (strict parents raise sneaky kids)

She would dye those streaks in her hair i think it’s called skunk hair ??? They would definitely be red tho haha and I think her favorite movie would be Alice in Wonderland and her fav character would be the Red Queen

She would have like a lot of followers (probably some being her alt accounts) and she would just blog every second of her life, but it would definitely be something related to fashion (also i think she sould be studying fashion or something like that)

She would definitely do some wild shit like go to raves and sneak into parties she wouldn’t be even invited to. I believe she would die either by someone just putting something in her drink or that she would die by driving while being on her phone or getting run over by a car for and not noticing the car coming her way, the reason also just her being glued to her phone.

When she went to hell I think she was just an angsty teen that lived on the streets for a while, holding up a cardboard box with something blunt as fuck like “need money, broke asf” and Valentino and Vox just find her and are like “Yeah we should take her in and just become a group of Overlords with a really shitty name cuz were unoriginal”

She would be really judgy and sould be like “tf are you wearing, here darling let me make you something better ‘kay?”

She definitely makes clothes when she is angry to keep her mind off of it lmao

If you have Velvette as a friend expect a lot of really brutally honest opinions on your outfit but I think Velvette would be friends with someone that has her sense of fashion so she can have someone to bond with. She 100% makes people clothes on their birthdays and says like “yeah whatever just take it” but deep down she hopes you like it and melts if she sees you wearing it, snapping a picture of you and posts it on her sinsta.

If you have a date you know who to call when you have no idea what to wear. She would judge the person you’re going on a date with too saying something like “No no he has no sense of style! Darling just date me at this point.”

If someone hurt you like a friend or a partner she would be the first to comfort you but of course she would just be complaining about their style. That’s just how Velvette is!

As a partner she would love for you to model some of her clothes and she would take you EVERYWHERE, showing you off and just is so happy to have you there. She would definitely make you clothes and accesories and would just let you sit by her to keep her entertained letting you yap he ear off lmao

——————————————————————————

Thats all i could come up with but Velvette fr needs more love shes the best girl character fr !! :3

[sburbian-sage]

Please help, my alchimiter is fucked up. Everything I alchemize fucking REEKS. Alcohol, skunk spray, weed, mint (which sounds pleasant, but I assure you, is NOT at *this* intensity), sulfur, ammonia, etc.

I don't have anything plugged in to the jumper block, and it even happens if I use someone else's alchimiter, and dowels that other players have used with no problem. No idea what's causing it.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear. That totally stinks.

Okay but actually this time. You said "MY alchemiter is fucked up", but then said that the issue persists even if you use an Alchemiter that isn't yours. So all other variables considered (does the issue persist if someone else uses your Alchemiter?), the issue isn't the equipment, it's the user. IE, you. you are the one stinking up the joint.

I'd first ask you what your Title is. It's entirely possible that all of your items stink because you're unintentionally Aspect-charging your stuff. Not enough to give them cool extraordinary powers, I imagine, but enough to cause a noticeable stench. My guess would be Doom, because a lot of these scents are pretty unpleasant and poison-y, thought it could also be Mist, which is for some reason recreating and amplifying random stenches.

If it's not your Aspect going haywire, it could be a prank. Like someone's doing the Alchemy equivalent of "let's put spoons in our mouths and hit each other on the head, but I have a guy behind you using his arm to just go to town on your skull", but with Bad Odors. Maybe not even a player necessarily, but it could be an Imp or a Carapacian. My money is on CD, this sounds like some low-stakes antics he would pull, only for your next item to smell normal, and you're like "wow finally something that doesn't literally smell like shit" and then you hug it, but it was a bomb and he kills you and your entire house. I'm not saying "set up tripwires and infrared cameras around your Alchemiter while waterboarding your coplayers for the truth", but it is a distinct possibility.

The last possibility is the most terrible one. You might just be cursed. As in, "you are experiencing a bug that is causing your items to smell bad and I do not know how to fix it". Either leave all the alchemy to someone else, or at least get a coplayer to make you a gas mask, so you can create your bad-smelling items and not be affected by them in peace. This is also a good idea to enact while trying to figure out if there is in fact a way to stop this problem from coming up.

Also, this might sound stupid, but have you tried washing the items? Like run a hot bath and start scrubbing them? Or maybe getting some air freshener? I'm throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

[chrlotpony]

uhh, reading an old fic I never finished, apparently I hc that sunil smells like warm carrot cake?? it sounds nice but when I describe smells with "warm", it means there's a fleshy undertone to it. so if you pick up sunil after he's been sleeping for 4 hours and sniff him, he'd smell like an off carrot cake. big pro of having a pet, my chihuahua smells like doritos🙏

I actually love smell hcs cuz it gives me an idea on how the characters一 or how I think the characters live which leads to more ideas and such. no surprise, sunil likes things and himself to be kept clean. not as clean as russell but yk, tolerable and nice. takes great care of himself, too. I wouldn't say russell has a notable smell like sunil, he's so clean that he doesn't even have a smell. he's got a faint smell that is just russell... russell smells like his DNA. his house has that unique smell that can't be described, ykwim? and it's not bad either, I guess I would call Russell's faint smell as new furniture. yeah.

since I'm here now, ig I'll just explain the rest of what I think the main 7 smell like.

My mind immediately went to Minka, I think she smells similar to Russell except she has a smell that's actually notable. She smells like if you baked a potato pie using sharpies. "Sugar, spice, and everything nice" ahh monkey. It's not warm either, it's fresh. Like sharpie potato pie with a side of fabreeze. I don't exactly know what this means for Minka. I'd say she's doing fine. Living. Painting.

Zoe... I think she just smells like blanket. A well taken care of blanket, and not one that's sitting in a shelf or cabinet with other blankets for like 3 years, no, like a blanket you washed 2 weeks ago. Obviously she also smells like prefumes and stuff. A Sephora store, even. That is only when she is pampered up, though.

Pepper makes her own scents for herself but it majorly depends on how she's feeling. When she's not, she does have her own smell, and it's not anatomic skunk fart smelly, it's weed and mint cream smelly. If pepper doesn't have a mint smell, that is NOT her, that is a fake, don't go near her. And yeah, I did mention weed but I really mean more like a hemp cream. I do love both smells of weed and mint though, nostalgic scents. But here's the "smelly" part... she also smells a little like an abandoned meat farm. She just has to not be upset for that weed mint smelly smell to happen naturally, or else she is fish bomb stinky.

Vinnie smells, erm... Not the best. Could use deodorant more often, especially before dancing. I'm sorry😭 He doesn't smell sweaty all the time though, ofc. I think he smells like... minions kid perfume and olive oil. That's the smell I think reflects vinnies living habits. Are reptiles even capable of producing their own smells? (yes) Whatever, the gecko has hair. HIS HAIR, actually his hair does smell pretty nice. Coconut oil, maybe? It's not like Vinnie doesn't care about his hygiene, he just needs to work on that more. Mother never taught rahh

I think Pennyling smells the best, actually. She tries hard to smell good. Who'd wanna hug a fuchi panda? :( She learns from Zoe and Pepper about layering and what scents fit her best. Her smell is heavily based on what she puts on, so you'd less likely catch her smelling anything less than nice. So I'd say that she often decides to smell like Christmas-feel milk chocolate. It's a warm, cozy smell. While her natural smell is like leafy citrus. Very earthy.

[eruptedinlight]

my educated swamp kelp hypothesis is that if you touch it while it’s in bloom it releases a fuckin horrific stench

there’s a plant called skunk cabbage (it's one of my faves), which also grows in wetland areas and has a beautiful but incredibly stinky flower that smells like burnt rubber/cheap weed/rotten compost all rolled into one so maybe swamp kelp is like that but EVEN WORSE

like it’s almost impossible to remove once it gets into material and you have to take 50 showers to get it out of your hair

maybe it’s SO bad it burns your nose hairs and you throw up and immediately pass out

… but what saru needs to understand is that humans will willingly line up to smell a flower that smells like rotting corpses FOR FUN

[mavratt]

I felt that it was only fair to give you an ask of your own

What are your top 10 (real or fantasy) critters and please tell me about them

First off, how did you know I love critters? Second:

1. My all time favourite animal since I saw them on NatGeoWild years ago: the Marine Iguana! A completely herbivorous species of iguana that lives in the Galapagos, they eat sea weed and sea grass which they can dive more than 20 meters (65 feet for the yanks) to get to! (I also have a character based on one)

2. The Nile and/or Saltwater Crocodile: same reasoning as above, I love all croc species but Nile and Saltwater have a special place in my heart. I love the way crocs look, move and behave. Living in Australia, home of the salty's doesn't help either. All around just incredible creatures.

3. Bearded Vulture: number 2 and 3 are very close on this listing but I had to put crocs above my favourite bird. The bearded vulture is super cool because it's diet primarily consists of bones! It eats the bones of dead animals it finds which also means that unlike other vultures it is able to have feathers that go up to its head because it doesn't have to worry about blood and meat getting in them! They will also roll around in red dirt that makes their naturally white feathers red, making it look super cool! (I also did a lino print of one in art class last year):

4. Hoatzin: another bird but its so cool looking! How could it not be one of my favourite animals! Known as the stink bird or skunk bird, this guy smells like ass but it also has a segmented stomach system (like a cow) making it able to digest leaves and other vegetation better than any other bird. Also, as babies they have little claws on their wings that help them climb from rivers if they accidentally fall into them (making them look like dinosaurs). (I also have a character based on the Hoatzin).

5. Godzilla (sticking to the theme of dinosauric marine reptiles, huh? Maybe he just reminds me of the Marine Iguana): I just think he's neat, specifically in Shin Godzilla (2016) and Godzilla Minus One (2023) as in these movies they are incredible stand ins for their respective theme/disaster while also being great narrative foils for their respective protagonist (while also having my favourite designs of all the Godzilla's). (Godzilla is also the character that I have the most posters/merch for)

6. African Lungfish: while not the only species of fish that can breath air, they have the incredible ability to form a mucus cocoon and go into a state of torpor (like hibernation) if the water where they live dries up. I am currently doing my science assignment on them and they are super cool.

7. Thresher Shark: with a caudal fin that can be bigger than its whole body, this goofy lookin fella is my favourite shark species! They use that fin to whip fish, stunning them so they can eat it. They also use them to jump out of the water! (They also always look bamboozled and I love that)

8. Aardwolf: a super cool little hyena lookin fella that is completely insectivorous! They primarily eat termites! I just think they look cool lmao, they have a mowhawk!! Little punk rockers!!

9. Migaloo: my literal white whale. While we don't know if he is still alive or not, he has got to be my favourite whale, what I would give to see this guy irl.

10. Clydesdale horse: gotta be my favourite horse, what a beefy fella. Hard working horse that looks super neat!

(I realised as I got further from the top that I cared less and less about giving more detail than: looks cool! Visibly see my love for these animals has a drop off after 7 lmao) (I love them all I promise!)

Eldarya boys as roommates.

Nevra: Has a lot of stuff he doesn't want you to touch but they're literally everywhere, you will inevitably have to touch it to make way. He'll keep the house clean if he has a date coming over though, which happens every few days to every few weeks. He has a lot of expensive stuff, so he's watching you with concern when you walk by his antique table lamp he decided to put on a coffee table, or his handwoven Persian rug that was passed down from his late father to him, or the irreplaceable framed picture Karenn drew of them when she was 6. Also, Karenn. Shes at his place maybe every other day? She never stops talking but that's fine, at least Nevra isn't bothering you. He thinks he's mysterious and dark, but he's simply a goth chatter machine.

Ezarel: Always annoyed by something you just did because he was planning something and you ruined it. He'd need to be at the edge of death before he disrespects your boundaries. He could be literally bleeding out and he'd avoid going to your room and waking you up because that's rude. He makes messes but they absolutely cannot be cleaned up, otherwise he can't find what he needs. He brings his work home a lot, there's documents and alchemical formulae on the kitchen table because why not? Why shouldn't he read his research notes on fungi based aphrodisiacs while eating dinner? He often comes home with his fringe burned, legend says his hair is like that because he forgot to tie it up and something exploded.

Leiftan: Very polite, he did nothing wrong in his entire life, he's a literal angel... But he's never home and his cat is a bitch and you're gonna have to feed that thing pretty regularly. When he comes home the cat is also an angel, but the bite marks and the piss stains remain. All his clothes are white or grey so he's done for the week in one or two loads, he's great at cooking (for eldarya standards anyway) and he sweeps up his cats hair every time he sees it. He's great.

Lance: You'll probably never be his roommate because he always lives with his brother. He's never home, he's always up to some bullshit, he's got no job most of the time but he has money somehow? Probably from Valkyon. You'll never have to worry about burglars, he'll eat them whole. He leaves his big ass shoes everywhere and you'll probably trip on them. He's usually a tidy person but by the end of the day he just wants a nap. Also, this creature is simultaneously a night owl and an early bird. Does he even sleep? How is he so muscular? Did you know sleep is detrimental to muscule development? Hmmm? I've never seen him sleep.

Valkyon: He has so many drugs, you'd start praying that the cops never show up. He's also that one bitch who has expensive liquor out on the top of the shelf to let people know he has a problem but he still has taste. He's not home most of the time because he's out getting laid somewhere. He's never late with rent either, but the cash is always sticky. He hates it when people come over but he also hates not minding his business so he shuts up about it. It doesn't matter what he's having, it could be antidepressants, but he'll ask you if you want sum'. That's some brother behavior right there.

Mathieu: He's a gym bro and he always has his gym friends over and they're playing video games while you're trying to live life like a normal person but there's 4-6 shredded dudes and girls in your living room every weekend. He's a Kevin, sadly, but he means well. (Search stories about Kevin, you'll understand) He ran into Lance at the gym and now he smokes weed too so he smells like skunk every once in a while. He'll cook nice meals for you, which is nice unless he Kevins it up.

Top 5 worst fragrances lmao

This is tricky because I want to say all cologne and all perfume/body spray and every essential oil and also every plug-in scented whatever-the-heck, as well as most cleaners...because these things make my throat try to close up, but that's not really fair. It's not like they stink or anything (usually). I just have an adverse reaction to them! So.

dead skunk on a summer day (extra fun when it happens without warning) and also weed (whatever neighbor does this so that it wafts right into my open windows? i hate you). absolutely vile.

cat with colitis takes a massive shit and doesn't bury it (this has woken me from a dead sleep multiple times).

someone at work heated up some chicken soup today and my brain told me it smelled like vomit so this probably counts.

haddock nuked for 3 minutes straight on high in the work microwave (i will never forget this criminal act or the person who committed it).

paper mills. iykyk.

shoutout to the guy who burned popcorn in the popcorn maker last week and it made my throat try to close up like a fucking can of lysol sprayed in my vicinity.
