I ordered the aki cologne from otaku scents... and it arrived today...

it has a very cologne-y scent, basically it smells very much like a traditional masculine cologne... I sprayed some on my pillow and it's almost sweet at first, or sweet if you take a very deep breath in, but after it's lingered it has a faint but clean smell. distinctly sharp but subtle. the smell is comforting, it's soft and mature at the same time... a very crisp and pleasant scent... definitely something I could picture aki wearing I think... like an every-day sort of cologne? haha

Iruma is an invasive species within the Netherworld, and like many invasive species he will conquer if left unchecked.

We know at some point, humans and demons interacted though, at some point, they each became each other’s myths. I propose that the separation was intentional on the demon side, relegating humans to bedtime stories. They did this because they knew a single human could elevate or devastate the Netherworld. Humans are weaker in demons in most ways physically but their real strength lies in their cooperativeness and desire for community, adaptability  and perseverance despite adversity.

Right from the start, Iruma has unnaturally succeeded in a world that incredibly hostile to him. And yet from the start be began building relationships. We’ve seen demons don’t have much of a concept of ‘friends’ the closest being ‘allies’. The Misfits individually were lazy and self-centered which is what got them sent to troublemakers class. Only when Iruma reached out and formed positive relationships, created a foreign system of giving and receiving help did they really flourish. With each arc, we see the class cooperating and relying with each other more and more, even in individual events. Its helped them grow exponentially in power and personality and only occurred because Iruma planted the notion that they are stronger together.

Iruma is also extremely adaptable not only from his hectic upbringing but his innate humanity. Despite not knowing the context of what is happening during most of his day, he adapts extremely well. He uses what skills he gained in the human world by tweaking them to suit his needs and picked up new demonic skills (such as using Ali-san’s stored magic) very quickly. Part of the ‘special training’ leading up to the Harvest Festival was forcing the kids to break out of just using their bloodline abilities. Iruma has no power himself and thus isn’t limited in what he uses to complete a task. We’ve seen on a few occasions he wins simply because his opponent is too stuck in a particular way of fighting and thinking. Being able to think on his feet and not just stick to the familiar is what makes him such a fierce opponent.

Finally, we’ve observed that demons on the whole are self-centered and lazy. This is not always the case but overall many lack the ability to pursue or accept change. Even the Six Fingers is all about returning to origins and reviving Delkira, in other words, moving backwards. But since he arrived in the Netherworld Iruma has boldly moved forward. He integrated well into a completely alien environment and not only became popular but powerful very quickly. He worked hard to unlearn an ingrained skill (dodging) to win a contest going head to head with the most powerful student. Even when his fellows wanted to give up, his dedication and well known compassion helped win them the Royal One. He became an expert archer even when his master said most demons gave up, refusing to put in the effort. Challenges that most demons backed down from, Iruma charged on ahead.

Iruma used his ability to bring people together, to adapt to any situation no matter how strange and to see his ambitions through to go from someone who should’ve been eaten on day one to a stand out demon. Iruma himself is a kind, extraordinary young man but he also has a natural advantage in an environment he is unknowingly adapted to. It’s one of the reasons why he will eventually be demon king because who else deserves to stand at the very top than the creature who can outnumber, out-think and outlast any demonic opponent?

I've known people into fragrances and it seems like a cool hobby, but I do think that if you wear fragrances into an enclosed space with other humans, you should be charged with using chemical warfare.

tried alkemia’s nocturnes of the honeysuckle for the first time since i got it. i always rest my alkemia’s for at least a month but this one sure did fucking test me; i love honeysuckle.

when it arrived it had a sharp and somewhat unpleasant lemony scent (i like lemon but it was weird and bitter), but now after months of rest (yes really) it is incredible. nectary. smooth. tealike pure honeysuckle and this strangely resolute sex appeal. i am one of those people who tends to think of indole scents as being very sensual and sexy, but tbh, this is way more nectar than indole. so idk what it is here but it is sexy. it’s really sexy, honestly. and it’s a very pure silky floral scent, yeah, and maybe that’s not sexy to the general audience anymore but if you’re of my mindset and you don’t love the notion of smelling like a cupcake and burnt plastic (sorry to ariana grande, they all smell that way to me). maybe if you need a nectary wisp of white floral to feel sexy. this one would do. but mostly if you age it. sorry there’s no way around that with alkemia.

yuna should use her rich girl privileges to spoil hikaru, i think.

taking hikaru out shopping with her, using her father's money to buy expensive perfumes for herself, very nice cologne for hikaru. a variety of different scents, each on their own outside of hikaru's price range, that she'd never be able to buy if she were out shopping by herself or with her parents -- but yuna covers the cost and buys them for her, just so that she has something nice. even makes sure that each of hikaru's new colognes matches up nicely with a perfume that yuna is either buying or already has on her dresser.

(hikaru is carrying all of the shopping bags, of course.)

buying high-end lipstick and 'testing' it with hikaru, later, in her room, with kisses -- lips or arm -- to see if it rubs off or smudges, and doing this with each new shade, just in case one could possibly be faulty.

regularly having hikaru over for the night and washing her hair with the same nice shampoo and conditioner that yuna uses to keep her own hair so sleek -- being especially thorough if hikaru's had a long day or is particularly dirty or sweaty. brushing and combing out any knots or tangles (and just a little bit of affectionately combing her fingers through it) to keep hikaru's hair in as good condition as her own.

having a rich girlfriend has benefits 🐯

i randomly got curious so poll time

[eldritchmochi]

with precisely zero context, reason, or warning, i asked my boyfriend what deodorant flavor he uses, and i immediately got a very detailed answer, no hesitation, no question, just trust and understanding

i have rarely felt more perceived or loved, and its over *deodorant*, i couldn't be more jazzdd

[irritablepoe]

thank you coffee for existing and having a strong enough scent to cover up so many other smells

[depoteka]

anyway i was in my archive trying to find the "day 1 pregnant: the baby is craving tom ford tobacco vanille" tweet because that was me today

Talk about a scent? (for the ask thing)

(How ironic that my nose is stuffy right now)

If we talk about my favorite smells, then any that do not give off chemicals, as well as soft and pleasant

The ones that are very caustic, they make me want to get out of the world. Especially in perfumes, I'm bad at smells, but people who almost wash with caustic perfumes, why do you exist?

I understand that you want to make yourself more attractive, but God, get ten kilometers away from me

But I also like the smells of food, fruits, vegetables, musty things, dampness, autumn, winter, summer, spring (yes, for me different seasons smell different)

Lemons (any citrus fruits) and Christmas trees (any coniferous plants) occupy a special place in my heart

My life is falling apart… and I’m having halfhearted lunchtime sex with a car mechanic. How pathetic is that. (Part 2.2)

So Robert and Sadie did the nasty and Sadie pretty much insults Robert with her comment. Katie comes home when Sadie is still there and the two of them talk themselves clear (some logistics not covered like Sadie’s scent in their bed ignored). Not included, but Katie managed to keep her job with Tom who suggested she take accounting classes and her wages will be dropped until she’s up to speed. Scott presents Dawn with the car he conned Ivy out of.

what is it like having an elderly cat?

well, she has an air of dignity and majesty which is only enhanced by her little grey beard. she loves a cuddle and when she still jumps or plays she does so daintily - she has the carriage of a real lady!

which is why when she perches on my chest and then unleashes the unholiest farts known to what is left of my sense of smell, once it reaches her petite nose, she looks at me with assured blame in her eyes, and leaves me with the stink.

it is matched only by the indignation radiating from her entire little body when I clean her bum for her.

I love her more than anything.

[beetlejuce]

Is it just me or does all men’s cologne smell the same

[thestarofcottonland]
