alhaitham tries to navigate through the feeling of falling in love with you <3 gn! reader

it begins with fleeting glances exchanged in the quiet moments between, ever so soft touches of your hands connecting when you walk past each other— and then alhaitham realises that his heart skips a beat whenever he sees you, feels you and takes in the scent of your signature parfum.

"why do you always do this to me?" he murmurs, the rough note in his voice barely above an octave as his body presses your own against the wall— locking you between his strong chest and a solid coldness against your neck.

your face glances up at him and you would certainly play stupid if you didn't catch the vulnerability in his tone, the slight shiver. it made your breath quicken and heart fasten— because well, the infamous scribe? behaving this way? after all, he known for his intelligence and clear wit.

although now, he was just a man, baring his soul to you.

alhaitham takes a step closer, his fingers brushing against your cheek— and you shiver at how light his touch was, almost hesitant, as if he were afraid you might vanish if he pressed too hard. you leaned into his hand, closing your eyes and savoring the warmth of his skin as he moved forward to place a subtle kiss on your lips, breathing in hard as you kissed him back instantly.

you feel the urgency of his movements against your skin as each lap of his tongue sent a jolt of electricity through your body— catching you in a haze, a hot embrace and in a place you were meant to be. his kisses became more urgent, more passionate and starving, alhaitham needed you, he wanted and craved you for so long, his tongue leaving a burning path in their wake.

alhaitham kissed you as if he were trying to convey everything he couldn't put into words, the reactions in his body he couldn't explain whenever he looked into your eyes.

i got a eros pur femme perfume (and everyone complimented me so far for its smells 😋) so i got to ask, What do you think boys smell like? like natural smell or some deodorant/parfume?

🤭 lucky for you anon there's actually official blue lock perfumes lurking somewhere out there in the ether. i did some research for you, so here's a fragrance note compilation (with additional headcanons):

RIN ITOSHI

top notes: lemon, eucalyptus, lavender

middle notes: rosemary, geranium, vetiver, nutmeg

base notes: guaiac wood, herbal green, musk

hc: rin smells like lavender. notice how there's a period there and not a question mark...that's because it is a solid factual statement. i'm guessing the lavender came either from his laundry detergent or shampoo. currently leaning towards the latter. rin definitely uses women's shampoo.

SAE ITOSHI

top notes: thyme, eucalyptus, galbanum, bergamot

middle notes: rosemary, lavender, orange flower

base notes: cedarwood, hinoki, patchouli, sandalwood

hc: sae's hands perpetually smell like orange peels, and you cannot change my mind. it's a concentration exercise he does on long flights to keep his mind off the airplane anxiety. tries to peel them in a perfect spiral without breaking off any fragments. rin tried to copy him and failed miserably.

NAGI SEISHIRO

top notes: spearmint, lavender, vanilla

middle notes: peppermint, violet, carnation, muguet

base notes: heliotrope, amber, musk

hc: nagi is vanilla (in every sense of the word.) i'm surprised he even smells good. will give him some due credit and say that the spearmint comes from him using listerine mouthwash, so at least he keeps up with his dental hygiene.

REO MIKAGE

top notes: bergamot, eucalyptus, peppermint

middle notes: clove, rosemary, cedarwood

base notes: tonka beans, moss, musk, amber

hc: he smells like peppermint because his boyfriend smells like peppermint. enough said.

BAROU SHOUEI

top notes: lime, bergamot, plum

middle notes: clary sage, tea, ambrettolide, cedarwood

base notes: agarwood, amber, musk, incense

hc: barou's fragrance being limes was not on my 2024 bingo card, but i do agree with him smelling like plum tea and incense. i guess the lime scent just comes from him using cleaning spray all the time. probably the type to buy scented hand sanitizers too.

BACHIRA MEGURU

top notes: neroli, mint tea, honey

middle notes: petitgrain, jasmine tea, cyclamen, muguet

base notes: musk, white cedar, iris

hc: bumblebee bachira is canon. he smells so sweet. like childhood dreams and cheerios.

ISAGI YOICHI

top notes: lemon, orange, clary sage

middle notes: muguet, orchid, heliotrope

base notes: vetiver, crystal musk, white cedar, tolu balsam

hc: isagi smells refreshing amen. the only other scent i would add to this is jasmine. he seems more floral than citrusy to me.

CHIGIRI HYOMA

top notes: bergamot, lemon, lilac

middle notes: ylang ylang, mandarin, spike lavender, sandalwood

base notes: cedarwood, fruity citrus, musk, amber

hc: chigiri doesn't need perfume. he is the perfume. he smells like spring personified.

KUNIGAMI RENSUKE

top notes: galbanum, leafy green, lime

middle notes: nutmeg, lavender, violet, rosemary

base notes: tonka beans, musk, cedarwood, labdanum

hc: i feel like it's obvious to everyone that kunigami is going to have a significantly manlier scent cus every panel of him during the neo egoist league arc is literally just him sweating directly through his uniform. the only sane way i can describe this is that he would smell exactly like a pine tree forest. woody and evergreen. he and barou have similar scents because they both have gone through the same masculine rite of passage. smelling like lime = very manly.

Eau de Parfume

Bob Floyd x Reader

PLEASE DON’T STEAL!!!

Be kind❤️

WARNINGS: Mentions of deployment (I know nothing about actually military so this may be wrong.). Accusations of cheating. Fluffy ending🥰

Word Count: 1976

A/N: I know I promised this a while ago and I am SO sorry for the delay. Basically my home life has been VERY stressful and I’m going through it😅.

Y/N was devastated.

He was cheating on her. Bob of all people!

How could he? How could sweet, adorable and loving Bob do this?!

Granted Y/N had no solid proof, but she had her suspicions for a few weeks now.

He had been very distant recently. Whenever Y/N would ask him, ‘How was your day?’ over dinner he would no longer go into heavy detail about who was where, what was said, sometimes even mentioning the temperature of whatever room he was in. But now he would only give one word responses and leave as soon as dinner was over. It had been weeks since he spent tonight at her apartment.

Y/N’s second clue, was that the Dagger squad was acting weird as well. When the group went out recently the entire team all basically ignored her. No harmless flirting from Hangman. Or gossip with Fanboy and Payback. Even Rooster couldn’t bring himself to look at her, and Y/N considered herself to be closest to him out of all of them. ‘They must all know,’ she thought to herself. ‘They must all know but are too scared or too loyal to Bob to say anything.

The third, and most damning, piece of evidence was a bottle of perfume she found on Bob’s bathroom sink.

It wasn’t hers.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Bob thought he was going to combust everyday since Cyclone broke the news. They were being deployed.

It would be six months, at least, and basically no communication.

This wouldn’t be Bob’s first time being shipped out to the middle of the ocean. But it would be Y/N’s first time having to send him off. That thought was what was driving Bob insane.

He didn’t know how to tell Y/N. He didn’t know how she would react.

Would she leave him? Would she wait for him? He knew she loved him but it was a big ask of someone. To basically put their life on hold for you.

Bob already knew he would be in trouble for waiting until the last minute to tell her. They left in three days. Bob had known for three weeks and instead of preparing the love of his life for the hardest test of their relationship, he hid it from her.

‘Oh God!’ He thought, ‘She should leave me just for being so stupid!’

Everyday he thought about telling her. He would sit down with the rest of the Dagger team, all of whom had told their loved ones already, and they would attempt to coach him on what to say.

Phoenix suggested that he should simply sit Y/N down and tell her like an adult. Bob felt like the metaphorical ship had already sailed on that one.

Hangman suggested he tell her during sex. Bob had to admit this was a tempting suggestion. The only problem was he could barely look Y/N in the eye these past few days, let alone make a move.

Poor Rooster just begged Bob to tell her. Blurt it out if he had to, but put Bradley out of his misery. He was a horrible secret keeper and it was killing him knowing something so important and not being able to tell Y/N.

Finally, Maverick told Bob that if he didn’t tell Y/N himself then he would take matters into his own hands. Bob knew Maverick was serious. That man feared nothing, not even the wrath of Bob’s girlfriend.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Y/N sat on the couch holding the bottle. She had been intensely staring at it for 20 minutes. She was meant to be cooking dinner.

Despite being ignored by the entire team, it was Maverick who finally called her that afternoon. He said he couldn’t go into detail but the team was undergoing some intense training. He said he was calling all of the members' partners and family to let them know that the team was under a lot of stress.

Hearing this made Y/N feel relieved, maybe that was the cause of all of this. She decided to surprise Bob by cooking his favorite dinner and maybe they could simply talk out whatever was going on. At least that was the plan until Y/N went to wash up before cooking.

She went into the bathroom and saw the bottle sitting on the sink. It was very obviously not her perfume. The perfume she wore was an, admittedly cheap, light and sweet fragrance that came in a simple yellow bottle. This new bottle was black with pink accents and even looked expensive. Y/N wasn’t a huge fan of most perfumes. She actually didn’t care that much for hers. Ironically she only wore it because she thought Bob liked it on her.

The final nail in Y/N’s coffin was when she sprayed it. Curiosity got the best of her. What does this person smell like? Is it similar to mine? Completely different? She needed to know.

Much to her dismay, she liked it. She really liked it.

‘Damnit!’ She mentally screamed. She was praying the pretty and luxurious bottle would be just a fluke. That she would hate it and it would give her some kind of relief. Instead she just cried.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Bob was terrified. As soon as Maverick told him that he reached out to Y/N, he knew that he could no longer wait. He could no longer procrastinate or plot a way out of it. He had to do it now.

When Bob pulled up at home he saw Y/N’s car, he actually wasn’t surprised. She was a loving and generous person. He knew she would be there to try to comfort him from Maverick’s ‘secret stressful training’. That thought made what he had to do so much worse.

Bob walked up to his front door. He paused, took a deep breath and said to himself, ‘Now or never Floyd. Just try not to break her heart.’

But when he opened the door he was met with his worst nightmare.

Y/N was sitting on his couch crying. Out of instinct he immediately ran over to her.

“Y/N! Baby! What’s wrong?” He tried to confront her best he could.

Y/N pushed him away, “What’s wrong? WHAT’S WRONG?! You lied to me!”

Bob sighed in defeat. He had been caught.

“I’m so sorry! I never meant for you to find out this way!” He tried to reason.

Y/N couldn’t help but roll her eyes at that.

Bob knelt in front of where she was sitting on the couch, “I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell you. I just couldn’t bring myself to hurt you.”

“How the hell would this not hurt me, Bobby?!” Y/N yelled, “There is absolutely no way that I could come out of this not hurt!

Bob felt the tears starting to well up. It was over. He screwed it all up. All he could do was apologize.

“I am so sorry Y/N! I truly never meant to hurt you.: Bob felt himself start to ramble, “I just couldn’t think of the right time and the team kept pushing me. Hell, Hangman even suggested I blurt it out during sex and I know that sounds ridiculous but I am beginning to think that would’ve been a better option then you finding out from Maverick!”

Y/N looked at Bob like he had grown a second head.

“What? Hangman suggested that you tell me you’re cheating on me during sex?!” Y/n was incredibly confused, “What the hell is wrong with you two?!”

Now it was Bob’s turn to be confused, “Cheating on you?! You think I’ve been cheating on you!’

“Haven’t you?” Y/N said accusingly, “You never talk to me anymore, you rush off as soon as you can, the entire team has been avoiding me like the plague, and this was in your bathroom!” Y/N felt the tears coming again as she held up the bottle.

Bob let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. He didn’t think anything would be worse than Y/N’s reaction to him leaving. But this was so much worse.

Bob gently grabbed her hands.

“Baby, I would never cheat on you. I’m lucky I got you! Do you really think I would be stupid enough to throw away the best thing that ever happened to me?!”

Y/N looked into his high puppy-dog eyes and almost melted. Almost.

“Then what the hell is going on Bobby?’ She asked desperately.

Bob took her hands and kissed them before speaking, “I’m being deployed.”

Those three words made Y/N’s eyes go wide for a moment. Then she practically leaped on Bob in a huge hug that nearly knocked him over.

Bob was once again, very confused.

“Wait, you’re not mad?” He asked.

Y/N chuckled, “Give me a few minutes to be relieved I was wrong. Then the madness will probably set in”

Bob felt himself melt into the hug. There was hope. Hope that she would actually stay.

“Baby,” Bob began slowly pulling back from her, “The reason I’ve been distant is because I was scared to tell you. I didn’t know how you would react. Same with the team. Poor Bradley has been on edge for weeks because he was afraid he would let it slip.”

“Weeks?” Y/N asked, sounding hurt, “You’ve known for weeks?”

Bob nodded his head in shame, “We found out about three weeks ago. I thought maybe if I put it off it would go away or by some miracle I wouldn’t have to go. But I guess this is it. I leave in three days.”

Y/N was in shock. She finally understood. Believe it or not she even understood why he hid it. He wasn’t afraid to tell her he was leaving. He was afraid to ask her to stay.

She looked at him and gently put her hand on his cheek, “It’ll be okay Bobby.

Those four words pulled him out of his own head and straight back into reality.

“Really?!” He asked, trying not to get too excited, “It’s six months. Little to no communication and I did solidly prove today that I am an idiot. No one would blame you if you jumped ship.”

Y/N giggled at the pun before holding his face in her hands and looking straight into his eyes, “I’m not going anywhere Bobby.”

Bob couldn’t contain himself. He pulled her in for a kiss and hugged her so tight he lifted her off the couch and spun her around. He felt like he was flying.

“Wait!” Y/N said and Bob felt his blood run cold.

He slowly set her down and looked in her eyes, “What?”

Y/N went back to the couch and grabbed the bottle that now had no explanation.

“What is this for then?” She asked, no longer accusing, but genuinely very curious.

“That? It ah- well I wanted to-“ Bob rubbed the back of his neck and blushed, “It was to take with me. To remind me of you. I know it's not the exact one you wear but when I went to buy that one I smelt this one and-” Bob shrugged, struggling to find the right words, “It just smelt like what it feels like to be with you.”

Now it was Y/N’s turn to feel ecstatic. She looked at the bottle then sprayed some on her forearm and inhaled the scent for the second time. He was right. It smelled comforting. She pulled him in for another kiss and let the scent waft around them like a cocoon. And Y/N made a mental note to pick up a bottle of that perfume to keep with her too.

Just another one of those posts where I do a bit of a general update on a few things. This time opening with an edited scan of Maomao from Nekokurage's Kusuriya no Hitorigoto manga adaptation to get your attention. Boo!

I've been reading the Kusuriya no Hitorigoto light novels and enjoying them in the sense that I think preteen me would have liked them. I started reading the LNs earlier this year (as they're great for reading in waiting rooms and the like thanks to their short format) and I think the LNs are definitely my preferred version of the story. The anime has a nice OP theme but is fairly middling otherwise and I don't go much on the art in either mang adaptation (though Nekokurage's art has improved recently and Maomao looks less like a giant-headed baby doll in the Animate bonus cards per my scan above). Maomao is the real draw in all versions so obviously I preordered her Nendo the first moment I could — bring on May 2024!

Speaking of translated light novels you can buy right now, the first part of the Oguni no Koushaku Reijō wa Tekikoku nite Kakusei Suru light novel was just released as A Young Lady Finds Her True Calling Living with the Enemy Volume #1 by Cross Infinite World (see here). It's a solid story that doesn't overstay its welcome and Bertine's business acumen is just *chefs kiss* for those after a competent heroine.

Once the second and final part of this is out, I'd love to see Cross Infinite World pick up another short (but unrelated) PASH! Books publication, Shiitagerareta Shuusai Reijou to Ringoku no Haraguro Kenkyuusha-sama no Amayaka na Yakusou Jikkenshitsu. The web novel version was quite solid but I haven't read the printed version yet. Yeah I like science ladies, what can I say? It would be so good to keep seeing interesting titles for girls and women being picked up for English release because I tire of isekai villainess stories (which imho peaked years ago with Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou) and there are some great little tales out there that do things a bit differently & just need to be shown to the right audience.

I'm so excited for Metallic Rouge in early January! While it used to be that getting an original property from BONES was always exciting, it has been a while since they've created anything I've really cared about but I'm hoping this will break the drought. If a show has Izubuchi, Kawamoto, Yamada contributing then you know I've got to be there. Plus a couple of lady leads in a SF setting? Trailers with some great action and music? I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much but I'm keen to give it a shot. If it isn't for me at least I can say I've given it a chance, right?

I've been terrible at sharing the latest about this year's Silent Möbius anniversary, but I'm not a news blogger and frankly very few people care so eh y'know, whatever. BUT I figured I should say something about FAIRYTALE PARFUM releasing scents for the key members of AMP this month (though Mana has been totally forgotten, it seems). You can check out the range here, there will be a launch event on the 10th of December in Shinjuku too.

Asamiya drew new artwork for the bottles and while I'd love to get Kiddy's perfume that nods towards her bodily acceptance in its notes, importing that stuff is just too much of a pain so I've settled for a tiny acrylic stand of Kiddy instead. Sadly there's no option to buy a set of stands so I just went "whatever" and grabbed just my best girl. Anyway, if you'd like a tiny acrylic stand of an AMP girl with extra weird proportions then make sure you check out the FAIRYTALE PARFUM website.

[A video is attached. Watch it?]

[Illanero emerges from the Warped Parfum Palace, onto the balcony. The sky is exploding, filled with constant bursts of color from fireworks.

Xyr ears immediately flatten against xyr head, and xey whimper...only to yelp in surprise as a figure emerges into view.

It's the owner of Parfum Palace, but just like his palace, he's wrong. A smile that goes beyond his face, into thin air, and his eyes are replaced with gold coins.

"I see you've returned, thief," Mr. Parfum says, golden eyes narrowed. "Now, I believe you have something of mine? A certain Furfrou, that you stole from me?"

"I..." Illanero tries to back away, but there was nowhere to run. The balcony had closed itself off, the rest of Parfum Palace inaccessible.

"Give Furfrou to me, and I'll let you leave without turning your fur into a blanket," Mr. Parfum. "Rest assured, she'll be much happier with me, though I must punish her for her treason."

"No!" Illanero yells, and tries to get one of xyr pokeballs...only to find that xey only have three with xem. Mulbo the Delphox's, Lurolin the Lucario's, and Cossupa the Furfrou's.

"Time is ticking! Time is money, after all, and I hate losing money," Mr. Parfum says, closing in on Illanero.

Illanero hesitates, then throws out Mulbo's pokeball, and yells, "Mulbo! Psybeam!"

As the Delphox tries to attack Mr. Parfum, he simply chuckles. Bits of...something shadowy splash off of him, but he quickly reforms his body.

"That's too bad. Oh well, I always wanted a blanket made of Zorua fur," Mr. Parfum says. "Guards! Execute the intruder!"

From the mass of explosions above, shadowy drops start to drip down. They pool around Illanero and co, forming into humanoid beings. Guards like the one outside the gate...and facsimiles of the Team Flare scientists, visors now made of solid gold.

Illanero looks terrified, but determined. Xey send out Lurolin as well, nod at xyr teammates, and together, they begin to battle.

All the while, the sky remains alight with the explosions of fireworks.

The video ends.]

HAL’S PARFUM GIVEAWAY — THANKS FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS!

within the next month or so, ren will have been established for four years on tumblr. that's an awesome feat. i've made a lot of great connections here, have started a manga, and have started a parfum (perfume) business all within that time (and more). to celebrate, i want to do a giveaway of something more tangible than my usual prizes of digital goods.

here's the deal: 2 winners, 2 prizes. random generated / non-bias.

prize 1: a custom parfum made by me for whatever you want. this can be a signature scent, a custom for a canon or oc, your own creation, an attempt at a recreation of a currently marketed perfume (britney spears or something), etc. my idea is that i'll limit scents to around 6, unless i decide the blend calls for more. most blends have 3-7 scents anyways. please note that i don't have every single scent in the world, especially in the ways that i am sourcing them to be at the highest quality, thus not every scent is available at that standard. i have a huge library, so i can always substitute.

prize 2: a pre-made parfum off my menu, which you can find on my IG highlights or on our website — both show what they are, what's in them, what fandom they're for, etc.

when will you get your prizes? pre-mades are asap, unless they want to wait for something to be restocked. customs will be made in february when i have time off, as well as have ordered a full scent and bottle restock. we'll talk shop throughout that time to make sure that the concept is solid. also, be patient with me. i get busy.

a quick aside ... these are vegan, pet-friendly, organic, all-natural parfums. they are essential oil rollers using grapeseed as the carrier with slight vitamin e. be transparent about allergies. in addition, i use only organic essential oils and IFRA-approved fragrance oils, meaning they're basically non-american products that are held to a higher standard, thus not containing carcinogens or parabens. i make these all myself.

important links: my IG and our store — both have menus for the parfums, including what's in stock.

to enter, you have to ... like this post at least, though you can reblog it as entry. you have to be following me. if you unfollow me after winning, that's bad news bears. if you follow me just for this giveaway only to unfollow after, again ... don't do it. let's keep it clean. also, it'd be nice if we'd at least have interacted or talked, but it's not required. just be my mutual.

giveaway ends february 1st ... that's enough time, right?

pictured above is tomoe from kamisama kiss.

49. Scents!

holy fuck scents are so fucking important to me they're like part of my signature looks and a bit of a special interest

I use beard oils as a base

I use mens deodorant right now I'm favouring night panther by old spice it sort of spicy earthy citrus type thing and great and dealing with sweat

I use solid perfumes if like simple base scents I have like a few different kinds and tend to mix and match I've been favouring lavender and coffee recently

And then I usually finish with a a spray of Eau du toilette white musk

Though sometimes I do use some eau du parfum if I'm gonna be incredibly sweaty that day

Alright @ele-millennial-weirdo asked me a little text about our boy Thrawn in my weird and strange mother language that is French, because I never write in my own language (strangely). So here you go! We'll see if i ever provide a translation

Karyn Faro marche dans les longs et sinueux couloirs du Chimaera, pour tout un chacun cela serait un labyrinthe tortueux mais elle est la Commodore du vaisseau, il n’a aucun secret pour elle. Les officiers de rang inférieur et subalterne la saluent avec respect quand leurs chemins se croisent, elle leur répond d’un hochement de tête et poursuit sa route. Elle arrive devant la porte de la suite du Grand Amiral Thrawn, donne son cylindre de codes au Stormtrooper et passe la porte coulissante.

La pièce est large, mal éclairée, sans doute une volonté de la part du Grand Amiral et une légère odeur d’alcool semble flotter dans l’air. Les hologrammes d'œuvres d’art flottent ça et là dans la pièce, égayant ce salon qui manque cruellement de personnalité si ce n’est de charme. Le luxe est bien présent par contre…

“Grand Amiral?” elle appelle doucement, de peur de le déranger dans son intimité.

“Je suis là, Commodore,” il répond depuis un fauteuil caché dans un coin où il ne peut être remarqué mais où il peut observer la porte comme bon lui semble. “Vous souhaitez quelque chose?” il demande d’une voix qui semble empreinte de lassitude.

“Les cartes Grand Amiral” elle indique, “Je vous apporte les datacartes.”

Il ne répond pas et tend la main vers elle.

“Approchez, Karyn, approchez…”

Elle obéit, comme une bonne Commodore le devrait et s’avance vers l’homme. Elle remarque le verre de whisky posé sur la table, sans doute sa seule compagnie de la soirée, pense-t-elle..

“Un problème, Monsieur?” Elle demande prudemment.

“Pas le moins du monde, je souhaite simplement vous observer de plus prêt.”répond-il en tapotant ses genoux “Asseyez vous.”

Elle marque un temps d’arrêt, une hésitation subtile mais qui n’échappe pas au Chiss.

“Allons, nous avons dépassé ce stade ne pensez vous pas?” il la réprimande gentiment, un léger sourire flottant sur ses lèvres

Elle repense aux nuits de passions qu’ils ont déjà partagés et aux baisers enflammés qu’elle prend plaisir à voler à ses lèvres. Elle secoue la tête, effectivement hésiter pour si peu est ridicule compte tenu de leur passif. Elle finit d’approcher et s’assoie confortablement sur les larges et solides genoux de son officier supérieur. Thrawn soupire, lui caressant le dos délicatement. Elle passe son bras autour de ses épaules et lui caresse les cheveux, attendant qu’il s’explique, mais il reste muet, observant la baie vitrée donnant sur l’infinie galaxie, froide et noire. Il repose sa tête dans le creux de son épaule, inhalant l’odeur de ses cheveux et le parfum du gel douche réglementaire de la Navy. 

Elle lui prend la main reposant sur ses genoux et la presse.

“Y-a-t-il un problème, Thrawn?” demande-t-elle à nouveau, avec une voix plus douce.

Il soupire à nouveau.

“Je suis las, Karyn.” Explique-t-il “Las de ces conflits triviaux, de tous ces problèmes que l’Empire se crée lui-même. De toutes ces querelles politiques incompréhensibles et de ces hommes et femmes véreux qui ne savent voir plus loin que leurs propres intérêts…” il marque une pause, semblant rassembler ses mots “Et par-dessus tout je suis las de ma solitude. J’aspire à rentrer chez moi, retrouver les miens et la chaleur réconfortante de mon foyer…”

Karyn reste coi, abasourdie par ces révélations. Combien de verres a-t-il bu pour lui avouer tout cela? Elle repose son menton sur le haut de sa tête.

“Eli Vanto vous manque?” elle murmure.

“En effet.” il admet “C’est un ami qu’il me plairait de revoir. Mais il ne pourra jamais remplir le gouffre que je ressens…”

Les notes d’alcool de son haleine remontent jusqu’aux narines de Karyn, il est définitivement soul. Il la serre contre lui, enfouissant sa tête contre sa poitrine, inhalant son parfum au plus profond de ses poumons. Elle embrasse le haut de son crâne.

“Ne suis-je pas une amie également?”

“Vous l’êtes… Et bien plus que cela. Vous partagez ma vie dans ses victoires commes ses moments les plus sombres, vous êtes une fidèle compagne et un atout précieux.” Il continue, sa voix quelque peu étouffée par le tissu de l’uniforme de Karyn “Je ne saurais me défaire de vous, vous êtes trop précieuse…”

Elle continue ses caresses de cheveux alors que son cœur s’emballe à ces compliments. Thrawn savait complimenter ses officiers mais c’était toujours montré secret dans sa vie privée, même envers elle. Une telle démonstration d’affection était particulièrement rare et très certainement due à l’alcool.

Elle le plaint sincèrement. Être envoyé loin de chez soi, chez des étrangers pour quérir de l’aide, et ensuite gravir les échelons d’une entité militaire dans un environnement hostile à sa race… Elle n’en mènerait pas large, du moins pas aussi bien que Thrawn.

“M'aideras-tu?” Susurre-t-il “M’aideras-tu, Karyn, a trompé ma solitude une fois encore dans tes bras?” enfonçant ses doigts dans sa chair, comme si elle pouvait s’enfuir de ses bras à tout instant.

Comme si elle voulait être autre part que dans ses bras…

“Bien sûr, Thrawn.” Elle embrasse sa joue. “Ce soir, demain et tous les jours si il le faudra…”

Ils regardent dans les yeux l’un de l’autre, il n’y voit que dévotion, résolution et loyauté, elle y voit noirceur, solitude et une ombre de tristesse. Mais les deux voient également l’amour. Partagé, sincère, secret… Fragile.

Ils scellent leurs lèvres en un tendre baiser qui s’enhardit et s’enflamme, les laissant pantelant. Il repose sa tête sur son épaule et embrasse son cou, sa main glissant vers le haut de sa cuisse vers le cœur de tous ses désirs.

Elle le sert contre elle, fort, comme si il pouvait disparaître.

Ce soir ils tromperont leur solitude ensemble à nouveau.

ACTUALLY we did have this discussion in the discord, let me go collect my OCs:

Ariadne probably smells like liquor and substrate, with an indistinct floral undertone. Like someone who went straight from a party to botany class- I do think that Ariadne would occasionally Actually Wear whatever the Amaurot equivalent of cheap mall perfume is when she would remember to do so. I am thinking of this one that my high school friend would wear that described itself as “grape-scented.” It wasn’t. But it IS nostalgia squared. Hades would mentally list this among reasons he should not date her again.

Medusa is probably the clown daughter who is Very Particular about perfumes. I guarantee they are all solid perfumes that do not throw scent - you can only smell it if you are up very close, and it’s probably something very resin-y and smoky.

Yloise is, of course, vaguely acrid, and probably has lingering tobacco smell (not cigarettes, Ari smokes cigarettes, Yloise smokes out of a pipe). Also I am sure she’s got dried lavender tucked into her sleeve somewhere.

Louhi smells like campfire. I also wonder if she can’t quite shake the Saltwater smell out of her scholar robes.

And the lizard twins both smell like an air-conditioned seaside museum. The room that’s sunken into the earth and completely enclosed. Heavy recycled air, vaguely damp.

Lmao god thinking of the difference between Iris and Bricriu and laughing. Bricriu probably has like 7 different eau de parfums he cycles through and Iris probably smells like weed and wet paper.

Iris’ weed smell is DISTINCTLY fresh bong smell. The one thing i will say in Iris’ defense is that they keep an IMMACULATE bong. He probably adds like a couple of drops of orange blossom water to it before every bowl. And ice. And all the other nonsense heavy recreational smokers get up to (NOT MILK JESUS CHRIST)

LUEURS D'AUTOMNE

Derrière la vitre embuée, il est entré sans frapper.

L'Automne est arrivé comme après une longue balade en forêt.

Laisser son charme opérer...🍂🍁🍂

FEU DE BOIS

Le feu brûle dans la cheminée. Cette bougie parfumée nous raconte les notes denses, fumées, des bûches qui se consument lentement.

Dans un jeu d’ombre et de lumière, la flamme s’agite et éclaire la pièce. Par instants, on croit entendre le bois crépiter dans la cheminée.

Cette bougie parfumée nous raconte les notes denses, fumées, des bûches qui se consument lentement...

NOISETIER

La fraîcheur des feuilles vertes rencontre les notes à peine croquantes et pralinées des noisettes qui commencent à mûrir.

La bougie parfumée "Noisetier" décrit l’instant précis où les fruits sont encore sur l’arbre, leur coque nichée dans leur péricarpe. Instant éphémère que la cire invite à retrouver...

CHÊNE

L’odeur dense et réconfortante des grands hênes. Ceux avec lesquels on fabriquait de beaux meubles massifs, de solides poutres et des coques de navires.

Dans cette bougie parfumée "Chêne", c’est toute la puissance du tronc et le tanin de l'écorce aux accents secs et résineux qui s'expriment...

MOUSSES

Tous les parfums de la Forêt, humidité de la terre des sous-bois, profondeur boisée des arbres séculaires, accents végétaux des champignons qui poussent dans l’humus.

Un grand bol d'air chez soi...

🍁🍄‍🟫🍂🌰🍁🍂🍄‍🟫🍁

Depuis très longtemps je suis tombée sous le charme olfactif de cette marque. Luxueuse par excellence, les bougies se consument lentement et nous emmènent loin dans les souvenirs de notre enfance...

Elizabeth Arden - Green Tea Lychee Lime

This is my first time posting on this blog, and I would like to talk about a really good (and affordable) eau de toilette: Green Tea Lychee Lime by Elizabeth Arden.

The notes in this perfume are lime, lychee, lemon, bergamot, magnolia, geranium, and green tea.

As you may have guessed it's a very fresh and green fragrance, a citrusy and light eau de parfum that lasts hours on the skin without being overwhelming.

I personally love perfumes with tea and citruses in them, especially during the summer. They make me feel clean and fresh without being overly sweet or heavy, so, naturally, I love this one.

My first time smelling it was last year, I was in an airport killing some time when I spotted this and two other perfumes with green tea in them. At first, I didn't like it that much because the bottle was almost empty, and the alcohol was very present, but I smelled the lime and lychee, and I liked them a lot. Today, I decided to try it again, and I fell in love. On my skin, the sweetness of the lychee is much more present than when sprayed on the cardboard, but is not overpowering, and it doesn't give me a headache.

I've seen a lot of people calling it a perfume for teenage girls since it smells unripe and it's not very complicated, but I disagree. And even if it was created with teenagers in mind as a target audience I don't get why it's a negative thing. Can't teenage girls smell nice? Can't someone wish to have a nice, well defined perfume that is not overly complicated?

I think it's an amazing everyday fragrance that keeps you fresh and light. It lasts hours and it can be reapplied often without feeling guilty of wasting it since it costs less than 15€ for 100ml (I'm always scared of "wasting" expensive perfumes lol)

The bottle and the box are cute in my opinion, not amazing but I like the illustrations of the main notes.

I rate it a solid 8/10

Holy shit.

This scent is based on the late 14th century poem, The Green Knight represents the challenger on the seeker’s path, specifically the ultimate challenge of facing mortal death, thereby granting us the opportunity to re-member that our bodies are light, and we are immortal.

The notes of the fragrance contain deep forest greens, woods and a hint of moss to evoke him and the magical woodland where he dwells.
