[stuckasmain]

Family fueling my 80s obsession with recreation products.

They do smell pretty damn good.

Baby soft is sort of a citrus baby powder scent

And terrific is. Honestly idk how to describe it but there’s some spice in there.

[jasondeansgothwife]

where’s that one bert mccracken quote about gerard way where it’s like “one night we made out so long it almost wasn’t funny anymore but it still was.” i’m thinking.

Aight, It’s Psychonauts Brainrot Hour so, here have my headcanons on what everyone smells like:

First Game(minus Ford and Augustus):

Raz: Old worn leather, wool and buttered popcorn, as well as stew and powdered chalk depending on time spent around the circus/caravan, and a hint of dirt from his time at camp.

Sasha: Very thick mixture of Cigarettes and Cologne, latter to cover up the former, occasionally Machine Oil and Wielded Metal but usually only when he’s been down in the lab or in the work shop for prolonged periods of time. 

Milla: “Gee,Your Hair Smells Terrific” Shampoo and Conditioner, along with Rosehip Oil, Cocoa Butter,Scented Candles/Incense and sweet perfumes that vary by the day. Sort of a lot like the fruity/floral/sweet scent sections at Bath & Bodyworks. Lilli: Woodsmoke,Pertichor(Rain Smell),Mint and Vanilla Perfume, as well as flowers. The Campers: Craft Glue, Pine Needles, Summer camp Food and for some reason in my head, Cheez its. Either Cheez its, Peanuts or Smores/Animal Crackers depending on the Camper. I imagine Kitty,Franke and Elka also smell like those flavoured children’s lip balms, especially the ones that smell like Strawberries, Bubblegum and Cotton Candy, on top of Kitty smelling like those candy scented body sprays they always market to tween girls. Milka also smells like cat fur. Crystal also smells like Thin Mints, and so does Clem by osmosis. Nils always has the faint smell of chocolate Animal Crackers on him. And Mikhail is the one who is especially guilty of smelling like Pine Needles, but also always has the faint scent of lake water and cattails on him as well. Oleander: A Camo shop, as well as that New Tent smell. A Rabbit Enclosure.

Loboto: Dried blood, Salt Water and a Dentist's Office

Boyd: Molotov Cocktail Solution,Milk,Cigarettes and someone who hasn’t had a shower in 6 or more years. Also Kitty Litter. Gloria: Vintage Perfume, Flowers, Plant Soil and Old Makeup, specifically Lipstick. 

Edgar: Acrylic and Fabric Paints, Linseed Oil, Paint Thinner and Vinegar. 

Fred: Pinewood, Duckcloth and Cardboard, as well as Craft Glue.

Sheegor: The Ocean. Also a Dentist’s Office by Osmosis.

The Psychic 7:

Ford: Shoe Polish, as well as generic Bacon,Barber's Shampoo, Dettol and Dishwash Soap. 

Lucy: Wool, Meat Stew, Lavender, Tea and freshly washed Quilts

Otto: Just, Copious amounts of Coffee, Machine Oil and a bastard that hasn't left his sacred dwellings for almost 3 years. 

Cassie: Honey, Lemon Tea and old/antique book scent, aged paper 

Compton: Anxiety, actually no. I always headcanon him as smelling like Black Liquorice for some reason. Black Liquorice and Sugared Black Tea with Honey.

Bob: Fertiliser as well as Pertichor(that classic Rain smell), Plants/Herbs and when he was still drinking, Alcohol.

Helmut: Hookah. If not just generally very sweet, like Strawberries and Butterscotch.

Motherlobe Folk:

Truman: Sage and Vintage Men's Cologne

Hollis: Expensive, rather musky/oriental smelling perfumes. I imagine something like Amber,Musk and Sandalwood. Nick: Aggressively like fish.  Agents in general always seem to have this looming air freshener smell to them, sorta like an Airplane, like that musky New Plane/Fresh Scented Air Freshener smell. Also Noodlebowl lady smells like breakfast and baked goods.

The Interns:

Norma: Hell, no for real, she smells like she's perpetually on fire. That sort of Smoke smell, just a very aggressive Smoke smell

Lizzie: that bottle of Dior's Poison Perfume that she shoplifted a good bit back

Adam: Teakwood Cologne/Body spray and fresh linen

Sam: Pancakes, very questionable pancakes paired with pine needles, goat fur and what a hamster would smell like. 

Morris: An aggressive amount of Hair Gel and Axe Body Spray

Gisu: A Skateshop, that sort of woodsy, wheel grease, Acrylic Paint, New Vans smell is what I'd best describe it as. 

The Aquatos:

They all smell like chalk powder in some sense including faint visages of such on Raz since that's what they use to dust their hands to prevent them from getting sweaty during shows and practice sessions

Augustus: Very woodsy, like Pine needles, freshly chopped wood and a Fireplace, with a thick scent of French Toast, Chalk and Burnt Caramel, very faint smell of popcorn

Donatella: Cheap but fancy Rose Scented Perfume and florally scented Talcum Powder as well as powdered chalk.

Dion: An aggressive amount of Hair Grease, paired with one spray of Men's Cologne and a faint smell of sweat and powdered chalk

Frazie: Very strongly of Marzipan, like that very aggressive Almond Meal candy smell, with a very faint scent of talcum powder, chalk,hay and buttered popcorn 

Mirtala: One spray of Dona's cologne, paired with the smell of chalk, cotton candy and that little kid smell of Baby powder/Baby food and Crayons

Queepie: Little kid smell (again of Baby powder, Baby food and Crayons) + Dirt

If you've been around little kids or have had little siblings before, you know exactly what smell I'm talking about, that's just the best descriptors I have for it.

Didya know?! That you needed to make your TV stereo?

1981 was a different time. In so many ways. Relevant to this post, it was an era where technology, always the driver of mass media, started to move television forward in a rapid way. Ted Turner and Gerry Levin had shown the world that television could be distributed over satellites rather than the more expensive and clunky telephone lines.

The company that was planning MTV: Music Television –my employer in those days– saw an opportunity.

Baby boomers were the the rock’n’roll generation. And eventually, along with rock’n’roll, stereo technology came along. The record companies started releasing two versions of an album, one in traditional mono (monophonic, all the music on one channel, and two channel Stereo!). No self respecting kid couldn’t have a “stereo.” A turntable and a couple of speakers, usually all in one box.

Oh yeah, and boomers were also the TV generation.

We knew our channel would be total crap in our viewers’ ears unless it was  stereo. We demanded that cable operators had to offer MTV in stereo, which would cost them a few extra bucks for the tech to do it. They resisted, we wouldn’t relent, we made it part of our early advertising, and when “I Want My MTV!” exploded their business, they started agreeing.

It was even one of our key “brand promises.” (and it’s Stereo!) tagged every one of our industry trade advertisements, and we put plenty on MTV in Stereo promos right on our channel.

But, there was a problem. (Isn’t there always a problem?)

TV’s were, as our older president said when we made the stereo suggestion, “a metal box with a crummy speaker in the side.” He was right, except for the most expensive sets 1981, TVs sounded like shit. What to do?

The MTV engineering team, led by my college radio buddy Andy Setos, came up with a solution. A clunky solution, but you know, it just might work!

Move your stereo speakers to each side of your TV. Take the cable from the wall, attach a splitter. Plug it into a free input on your stereo ampliflier.

Voilà! You can make your TV stereo!

Go back and play that “stereo” promo again. It mentions the “stereo hookups.” That’s the jury-rig that Andy’s group came up with. It took my other college radio bud, and future partner, brother-in-law and great friend, Alan Goodman, to make it possible for a human being to understand the thing.

Like most of us, Alan was constantly annoyed by the instruction booklet that came with almost any gadget. Add on top of that our weird attraction to “Gee, your hair smells terrific!” shampoo, and “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” margarine, Alan came up with the “hook-up” and instructions for the way to make your T.V. stereo!
