#the gale brainrot is still Too Strong (((':

[galedekarios]

I see you reblogging hades stuff! Will you eventually go into some in depth analysis like you do with bg3? Hades is becoming the next hyper fixation of mine after Baldurs Gate and I’d like to hear your takes on anything relating to hades if you have any! 🥰

thank you for your kind message! i really appreciate it!

i'm a bit on the fence whether or not to. i'm hesitant to get invested, mostly bc of how they appear to be handling odysseus, penelope, telemachus and circe so far.

i'm trying to keep an open mind tho bc it's early access and we don't have the entire game yet or all information.

although who knows, maybe it'll motivate me to do so either way.

having said that, i have my (re-)reading material close by (((': :

What's their Signature Scent? feat. Avallum

Been an avalight since their debut hehe. I'm making this a series because I have a lot of scented things (candles, perfume sprays and oils, soaps, lotions, etc.) and so I thought it would be fun to connect them to some VTubers! Since I started this on Twitter/X due to Avallum brainrot, we're gonna start off with them, and then cover other groups later! Hope this isn't too ooc, and hope you enjoy!

Lucien Lunaris (Lucien Lunaris) - Jo Malone’s Red Roses

Luci is a very sweet person. And I don't mean sugary sweet. I'm talking soft sweet - like intimate conversations and complimenting his loved ones type of sweet. That's why this scent fits him very well.

It first smells like the pure essence of fresh red roses, showcasing his very apparent pure love and devotion to those he cherishes.

As this perfume stays on the skin, it gets more honey-lemon-like over time. The honey makes it so that the sweetness lingers, but it's warmer and more cozy, like a big bear hug. Meanwhile, the soft scent of lemon adds a subtle vibrancy or spark to the scent, analogous to Luci's playful and slightly unhinged personality masked behind his dulcet voice.

Although this scent does get more subtle over time, it's still there, like how Luci will always be there for his precious people.

Cassian Floros (Cassian Floros) - Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom

Though I was debating on whether or not Cass would fit Orange Blossom more than Nectarine and Honey from Jo Malone, he definitely is a Jo Malone scent because they do citrus soooo well.

I decided on Orange Blossom because I found that the other one was a little too sweet. I'm not saying Cass isn't sweet, I'm saying that Orange Blossom fits him more.

The freshly peeled orange scent that you can smell from the first spray is very similar to his cheerful manner as he welcomes you to his stream.

This scent later mellows out into a warmer, leafier orange, kind of like you're in an orange orchard on a mildly warm day in spring, surrounded by trees bearing lots of sweet citrus fruit. This transition matches the more calming manner he takes on at times.

Gale Galleon (Gale Galleon) - Fig & Ivy Naturals's Boozy Apple Pie

Initially, I thought of something like a tropical pina colada or a sea breeze ocean smell for Gale's scent, but then I stumbled across this perfume oil on Etsy.

Gale is a warm and friendly person, open to meeting new people and always there to hype up his genmates, even if he jokingly said he hated them a couple minutes before.

This energy is embodied by the aroma of this perfume: warm and cinnamony, like an apple pie fresh out of the oven. It's a welcoming and homey scent.

Accompanied by this are the aromas of cognac and oak. The cognac makes the scent more lively, similar to Gale's very playful and unhinged side. Meanwhile, the oak makes the scent deeper and more homogenous, much like how Gale's multidimensional personality is brought together in the person that he is.

Zander Netherbrand (Zander Netherbrand) - WolvesnWillows's Bourbon Butterscotch

After watching more of his videos, I realized that Zanny's scent is more of a gourmand scent rather than the lavender/musk scent I originally envisioned.

I decided on this due to always seeing his frequent Coffee Date Zatsus and coffee-dessert combination posts. I can definitely envision Zanny with some kind of butterscotch dessert as he's sipping his black coffee.

The perfume starts off with a strong butterscotch aroma - it's dreamy, it's decadent, and it's warm, like a bite of fresh butterscotch cake. Much like Zanny, it gives off a cozy vibe.

As this perfume stays longer on the skin, its original butterscotch smell becomes enhanced with notes of oak and subtly flirtatious cinnamon due to the bourbon component of the scent. To me, this change resembles Zanny's more relaxed, kind of flirty, kind of funny attitude.

Rosco Graves (Rosco Graves) - WolvesnWillows's Strawberry + Vanilla Bourbon

I really wish I had a raspberry scent because I feel like Rosco would fit that so well, but since I don't, I'd say this perfume is quite representative of him.

At first, it starts out as this fresh and energizing strawberry scent infused with vanilla. Imagine taking a bite out of a strawberry tanghulu: a juicy, sweet strawberry underneath a vanilla-flavored sugar crust.

My first impression of Rosco is that he's this zoomer guy with a lot of energy and a refreshing style/attitude. Despite his "tsundere" vibe (emulated by the hard vanilla crust of the tanghulu), you can tell he's a genuinely sweet person (when he wants to be lol).

The perfume later becomes a mellower, teasingly spicy bourbon-vanilla aroma, representing his more calm and earnest side (though it doesn't stop him from having some playful banter with his Roscals!).

It's finally done! Wow, I haven't worked on any fic like this in so long lol. I wish I could work on some more fics, especially my Fairytale series and my oneshots, but I'm currently in the midst of many premed things sadge :( I'll definitely finish them in due time (I especially need to put out all the WIPs I have of ppl who are graduating/have graduated LOL)

I hope yall liked this first fic of the series, there will be more to come!

The brainrot is too strong.

If you go the good route and still recruit Minthara at one point there should’ve been a conversation about all that equipment you took from her. (Because we all did)

Minthara: Are you going to return my armor?

Tav: No, it suits me better.

Minthara: My weapons?

Tav: Eaten by Gale.

Minthara: What does that mean?

Tav: He has a magic bomb in his chest.

Minthara: That somehow explains less.

Tav: We’ve learned to live with it.

Minthara: My lute?

Tav: Thrown at a spider in panic.

Minthara: Spider?

Tav: …it was a big spider…with a face.

Minthara: …

Tav: …

Minthara: …my night clothes.

Tav: *looking fabulous in Minthara’s drip* They look better on me.

[rikardtoenterprise]

yAURRRR thanks 4 tagging me @pacificsaury (sorry i took so long to respond)

3 ships you like: RIKARD RIKARD RIKARD (riker/picard). I know im kinda quiet about rikard rn but best believe that I started this blog bc of these 2 old men. Quodo (Quark/Odo) i love these 2 divorced men who get on each others nerves but love each other deep down. Hear me out, but Qcard (Q/ Picard). I think you can see a trend in the dynamic I like. Also Qcard and Rikard are not mutually exclusive ok. Throuple strong.

Honorable mention: Not trek related but Jennifer/Needy from Jennifer's Body. I know people say toxic yuri and codependency but like idk. my girls. they mean so much to me. This is a couple I will live and die by.

First ship ever: God I don't remember shipping anyone in my childhood but. I think Katniss/Peeta from the Hunger Games series??? I think there was a lot of hoo haa with the team gale team peeta thing but I was always a team Peeta girlie. Breadboy letsfukingooooo.

Last song you heard: New Perspective by P!ATD. It's bringing back a bit of my Jennifer's Body brainrot. The whole soundtrack for that movie is a banger btw. But the last song I've heard may also be Using You by Mars Argo (but the original version from her Bandcamp). Titanic sinclair can suck it.

Favourite childhood book: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Still highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read. As a kid I never really read a lot of the popular books kids my age were reading but somehow my parents managed to pirate the whole Unfortunate Events series on the family IPad = happy times reading all 13 books.

Currently reading: I was in the middle of rereading the Lockwood and Co. series (just rereading from book 3 onwards). If anyone hasn't read it PLEASE go and read it I love them so much. I will probably reread it again just because. It has ghosts, slowburn romance, London, and fun snarky characters. Idk why it hasn't blown up more ngl.

Currently watching: Of course, Deep Space 9 (dinnertime entertainment with my family), and then, surprisingly, Boys Over Flowers (the korean version). It's actually so hilariously cringe and confusing at the same time that it's a riot to watch. Though I wish I could have finished Goong/Princess Hours before BOF because I stopped halfway in 2022 and it hasn't gone on Netflix so booooo...

Currently consuming: nothing, but the aftertaste of the chewable Vitamin C I finished 5 mins ago still lingers

Currently craving: Sleep and more Farleigh Start fanfiction (i'm in the midst of a saltburn phase)

I don't really know who would want to be tagged in this so I'm opening it to the floor too! Go crazy! Go wild!

9 people to get to know better (tag game)

Omg hii tagged by @cloudlesbian :]

3 ships you like: oh goodness uhh I haven't been super into ships recently but I like forthur (h2g2) and bence (the ship name I made up for my own OCs lmao) and I can't think of any others that I'm into currently

Honorable mention: spirk because I feel like I haven't watched enough TOS to be a true spirk fan

First ship ever: flashbacks to when I was scrolling ineffable husbands fanart on fuckign google images when I was 15. Before then MAYBE forthur bc I definitely thought they had something nonheteronormative happening before I started using the internet but idk if that counts. WAIT maybe Joan and Sherlock from Elementary (but I didn't actually want them to get together romantically I just liked their queerplatonic vibes)

Last song you heard: Shadows by Nick Lutsko (as recommended to me by my roommate) (I liked it)

Favorite childhood book: the May Bird and the Ever After series by Jodi Lynn Anderson, also Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll

Currently reading: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde but I STILL haven't picked it up in over two months I'm so sorry

Currently watching: Columbo!!!!!!!!! and also rewatching 1670 in the original Polish for um reasons

Currently consuming: air

Currently craving: water (dehydration strikes again)
