[thelemonsnek]

a mass outbreak of littens and torracats has been spotted! going in order left to right, is PURPURC4T's Sloane, Kraker's Solstice, lowfivee's Li, Story--Story's Whiskers, RexyCowMC's Pyro, aaand The-Rootbeer-Queen's Topaz! many :]

[image id: a digital drawing featuring three littens, two torracats, and one litten-joltik hybrid all walking in the same direction. From left to right, is Sloane, who is a purple torracat wearing a black jacket with a high collar, who is walking forwards and looking very unenthused. Next is Solstice, who is a litten with several patches of white across its body. It is walking slowly, and seems to have a mild interest in whatever is going to happen. Then is Li, a litten wearing a hat and satchel, who is bounding forwards, smiling hugely. She is chasing Pyro, a torracat wearing a spiked collar and wristbands, and is also sprinting and grinning excitedly. Below the both of them is Whiskers, a litten-joltik hybrid. She is very small, black and yellow, and is mostly joltik shaped aside from the ears and cheek fluff. Finally is Topaz, a tall litten with notably different fur patterns. She has red and black "socks" on her paws, and yellow stripes going down her back and tail. Her face is also split between black and red. She is leading the group, looking back to beckon them all onwards. End id]

Interview With the Vampire + Perfumes

i posted about wanting to make this and people were also curious, so here it is :) i absolutely have no qualifications to be making this. i just love perfumes and iwtv and wanted to combine em!! lmk ur thoughts <3 fyi this gets pretty long-winded and analysis heavy at times

louis de pointe du lac (new orleans/paris eras)

very slow world in my mind. i think he'd gravitate to the warm spice of it and the hints of whiskey. this also smells a bit like incense, which i think is fitting for him. louis' religious upbringing will always inform how i approach him. but this scent also reminds me of the clubs in new orleans, cigars and rich drinks, and that transfers over to him exploring new sides of himself in paris with photography and engaging with art and cafe scenes. i question the inclusion of the balsamic top note, it's actually much more tea-aligned! this is also quite masculine to me, which makes sense as, particularly in nola, he had to be a little overly masculine-- older brother, man of the house after the death of his father, business owner, and a black business owner in an extremely racist setting. i like this for him, i'd even go as far as to say maybe it's not quite masculine enough.

runner-ups: full incense by montale, nothing but sea and sky by une nuit nomade (this one is very bergamont heavy, which i also think he'd like) foreshadow by curatrix (this one is in my rotation rn and i am almost out because i use it SO much. musk, tobacco, incense, cypress)

louis de pointe du lac (dubai)

this one isn't similar to the above at all, but i think it sort of stays in line with what we know of louis in dubai. it's a very fresh scent, with residual fruity and cedar/fig accords snuck in there that are more noticeable with longer wear. this feels performative like most of dubai, put-together and appealing to the senses but deceptive at the end of the day. i think it's still something louis genuinely likes, but i see him, when he's happy, wearing something a bit more explicitly sweet-spicy, less wood-spicy. this is an amalgamation of the above scent and other sweeter, floral accords he'd drift to, but not quite leaning into it the way i suspect he'd be were he actually healed, had he actually confronted his past in full and emerged content with his circumstances.

runner-ups: of true minds by liis (this is inspired by shakespeare's sonnet 116, also smells like sooo complex. floral spicy with a bit of suede) angel dust by fugazzi (cashmere, pepper, bergamont)

lestat de lioncourt

i actually took so long to decide for lestat. after consulting @operahouses (thank you for enduring my lengthy perfume character analysis) i'm happy w this. it's very very floral, mostly rose, with jasmine and iris too. there's also the underlying patchouli and according to what i read, a sort of rosewater wine-y feel about it. walks the line of intense and mysterious with an elegant softness that feels very true to lestat coming off of paris and finding his footing (and the love of his life) in new orleans.

runner-ups: l'olympia music hall by histoires de parfums (floral, also the name is very lestat in the vampire lestat to me) baccarat rouge 540 by maison francis kurkdjian

rockstar lestat

this is zoologist, which literally makes perfumes off of animal scents. i think that is so fucking cool. anyway-- this is a very bold scent that takes the sweetness of the initial perfume i shared and expands upon it with some really interesting notes. there's passionfruit, leather, teakwood, and incense. (INCENSE, which i think he'd intentionally wear for the nostalgia it could potentially evoke in louis!!) but, overall, a very impressive and borderline questionable miasma of smells. because of this, it's startlingly unique. verrrry memorable, which is kind of the desired experience of a rockstar trying to get his ex-husband back.

runner-ups: triumph of bacchus by argos (this one has such an insanely diverse array of accords i feel only he could pull off) do not disturb by vilhelm parfumerie (this leans into femininity a bunch, which i am down for with lestat. also has some questionable accords but again i think this era welcomes that)

armand

so i'm not even going to pretend i'm not projecting with my first choice for him because i am-- press gurwitz 0.3 is soooo criminally underrated. it's got the knockout combo of the cinnamon and vanilla but when the smoky spice of it hits... it HITS! it also isn't overly sweet at all. the vanilla subdues the sweet notes and leaves sort of a smoky yet clean spiciness over time. i think also the idea of him wearing a gourmand scent has a lot of interesting character connotations in it-- wanting to be desired, wanting to be almost edible, to attract that sort of temptation. if not a gourmand, i can see him preferring fresh, clean, sharp scents-- hence the choices for him as rashid.

runner-ups: milk by commodity (amber, firewood, tonka bean; ultimately the marshmallow accord felt a bittttt out of line for him but this scent is GOOD. a pinch sharp but in a way that's striking rather than obtrusive) female christ by 19-69 (eucalyptus, woody, with cashmere and cinnamon at the base notes, emerging the longer the scent is worn)

armand as rashid

this one has a lot going on but i NEED you to stay with me and hear me out. first of all-- there's notes of pineapple here, which i feel are soooo good given the 'honey and pineapple' exchange. there's also a lot of sweetness here and while the 'honey' part isn't explicit, i feel like it's still reminiscent of it. also, who's to say rashidmand doesn't wear honey body oil with this? wouldn't put that past him. otherwise, this is also pretty floral, fresh, and long-lasting. my one flaw is it is intense, especially for his playing as rashid. my defense here is this: he's already gone with the slutty shirts and the speaking out of turn, so a memorable scent doesn't seem suddenly too far, at least not to me. also, the bottom notes like the vanilla stabilize the intensity. for the first hour or two after application, i'm sure this lingers in a room (which is what he'd want) but as it fades, you'd have to be in closer proximity to notice it.

runner-ups: honey & crocus by jo malone london (this is the honeyed scent that could replace the pineapple one, with traces of saffron and lavender included too which go nicely) fleur de délice by reminiscence (VERY herbal and fresh)

daniel molloy (1973)

ok i am pretty sure i'm not the first to say this but he's SO jazz club. to me. this on top of probably perpetually smelling like cigarettes. and i've heard it's more masculine-leaning, with the rum, spice, and tobacco staying on the longest. i think in devil's minion canon armand would also be all over this like a bloodhound. not much else to say aside from boozy and kinda sexy. the kind of thing you'd wear to go out and score drugs or a fatal vampire encounter.

runner-ups: none! i stand by this one. possibly book by commodity, which uses cedar and sandalwood to come shockingly close to putting your nose in a book. also accomplishes a sort of smokiness.

daniel molloy

this is kind of like if jazz club matured a bit. from what i read (i haven't smelled this one) it's very leathery and dry with a slight sweetness at the end. it has some pine and dates in the list of accords, which works for me too. it is also a bit sensual and i think daniel would wear this in dubai to see louis for the first time since '73. not too intense, which i think he'd prefer. @operahouses suggested a new car smell and i STRONGLY agree.

runner-ups: ombré leather (2018) by tom ford (this went too herbal for me to attribute to him, but i still think leather is good for him)

claudia in new orleans

getting into headcanon territory. this scent is sweet, light, and rosy. i'm imagining this is a gift from lestat before things soured. also something to wear before she branched out and developed her own preferences. i personally think this one is a bit strong and just a tad like a bath, but then again it's very clean and satisfying when the initial scent sits for a little. the sugarcane there brings it together too. this would also contribute to the infantilization both louis and lestat force upon her, the shared--whether explicit or implicit- idea that she's theirs, only the 'girl' part of daughter and too young and naive to be the 'woman.' i feel like she'd grow to hate this smell eventually the same way she grew to resent what lestat and new orleans meant for her.

runner-ups: rose of no man's land by byredo (i didn't think the spices fit, but could be that's a stepping stone for her)

claudia (paris)

i haven't tried this scent but i do love curatrix. so i think in a similar way to daniel's progression this is an older, sultry, woody-sweet rendition of what a younger claudia would enjoy. knowing curatrix, it's probably a bit intense, but for a woman duelling with the reality she will not ever be properly seen as a woman, i think it's very fitting! the cloves and tobacco lend age to it while the honey and vanilla sweeten it up a bit, dries down into a suggestion of ginger. i think the name would attract her as well. claudia owns being a vampire-- she loves it, wants so badly to be loved by the coven for loving vampirism, so the idea of fatale is definitely something she would gravitate to in my mind.

runner-ups: hypnotic poison by dior (similar wood themes with a bit of floral and fruitiness mixed in, but mostly, the bottle is cute) carmilla by immortal perfumes (the name, naturally-- also has a blood accord!! was my first choice until i remembered fatale exists)

madeline

gets a classic. i wore this for years before i started to present less feminine. it's clean, floral, sweet, a bit powdery, and stays on forever. not too overwhelming but def alluring. one of thee ultimate femme lesbian choices to me!

runner-ups: immortelle by chloé (still white floral with some tonka snuck in. i like the name for her a lot!)

santiago

i really have nothing to say other than this scent doesn't get very good reviews and it kind of pisses me off and that's perfect for him. def wears way too much of this and it pisses off everyone in the coven. the HEIGHT of gay man who is about to infuriate you.

okay i had a lot of fun doing this. so if anybody else matched my freak ab this i would LOVE to do more.

WORKING TOGETHER W/MY LOVEEER @bel00r !!! Tysm ilysm. I'm verrrry happy with the official final result and how fun the process was!!! I'm also very excited discovering more details about the game that I didn't notice during gameplay. I love those delicate and well-made games like mouthwashing

[nartothelar]

I'm one of the anons in that vampire au post. (I know that's easy to say)

I want you to know how much this made me cry and feel for these two.

You really could feel the Ingo's emotions. The grief of losing the people of Hisui, the fear of eventually losing Emmet as well. His frustration with everything. So good! And Emmet being calm, collected and true to himself. (I'm tearing up again just trying to give you a small comment) Also the slow reveal that Emmet is now looking much older than his brother was done so well and the emphasis on how happy his life has been really drives his point a lot. The surprise artwork in the middle of your fic is also so so good.

This is more than I had expected when I pressed ask a few weeks back and I am so impressed by this. Bravo. Truly super bravo!

Your writing style is so incredibly good! Really hoping to see more written from you in the future (only if you want that is)

SKSK THANK YOU!! I'm really glad you enjoyed my little drabble sksks I really really like the idea about immortality and its affect in the long run. Ingo has lost too many people whom he cares about to simply let Emmet age and eventually die without saying anything.

A lot of people brought up the idea that, if Emmet were in a situation where his life was in danger, something much less peaceful that dying of old age, if Ingo, fueled by desperation and fear of losing him, would take matter into his own hands to save him and turn him. Which I can totally see.

But I also think that Ingo knows Emmet, knows that his brother has made his decision and will not change his mind. And that means, as someone who loves and respects his brother, has to respect that decision.

He wouldn't forgive himself if he betrayed that trust, which makes this all the more frustrating for him, who already had to outlive a whole clan of people that he knew and loved and cared about. and now he had to go through that again? That grief and pain and fear had been festering inside for the longest time and it's something that no talks or reassurances will really disperse...

But on a less serious note, this was my first fic I wrote since going into this fandom and it was verrrry fun! Writing felt rusty but it was enjoyable nonetheless! ^w^

[destinyc1020]

Some Timmy stans want him to date someone with a better reputation in Hollywood than a Kardashian-Jenner and they are still traumatized with his Cabo pics with Eliza. They would be happy if he dated someone like Z or Florence (is Florence single now? Wasn't she dating a guy from her hometown?), but I don't wish that to any of my girls because Timmy is sort of a ho. There are guys that is better to have as friends because they have a hard time doing monogamy

Florence is still dating her bf last I checked lol 😆

I'm laughing at the "he's sort of a ho" part lol 😅🤣

I mean, tbh... what ppl do in their SINGLE life is their business. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Chiiiiilllle.....If you expect a SINGLE man (especially a young, good-looking man lol 😆) to be CELIBATE until he finds another serious rlshp to be in, then hunny, hunny chiiiillle.....you are verrrry naïve 🤣 Even single women need their "itch" satisfied every once in a while lol.... 👀

Nothing wrong w/celibacy btw, I'm just saying that expecting that is kinda naïve since that's not usually the case. Maybe it's the case for some men, but it seems to be kind of rare. Especially in an industry that's just wrought with temptation and ppl (even FANS lol) literally willing to sleep w/you at the drop of a hat lol. 👀

I really don't care what you're doing when you're single lol. Not everyone has time for a serious rlshp (it's a lot of work!), so if Timmy was just living the single life fantastic, then fine? 🤷🏾‍♀️

But anyway....

If he is not cut out for serious long-term rlshps, then I think his fans need to STOP trying to fit a square peg into a round hole rofl.😅 Stop shipping him with these women who are obviously about being in serious rlshps if he himself hasn't been in a serious rlshp for longer than what....2 years? 🥴

Let him live his Bachelor life if that's what he wants lol. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Nothing wrong with that.

BTW, Eiza always seemed like a rebound to me. Seemed pretty obvious. He got with her right after his breakup w/Lily, and it didn't last but a hot minute.

Anyway, maybe Kylie is actually very nice and more his speed? He's actually in a rlshp with someone again after years of basically being a bachelor. So who knows, maybe they are really (oh, I don't know) trying to have a serious rlshp w/each other?

[deputy-morgan-malone]

Deputy Morgan Malone + The Time of Her Life

Another one I wanted to have done in time for Morgan’s birthday, but oh well, c’est la vie!

This is more of a ‘pure aesthetic’ one than anything to be taken 100% literally, but they all gave me her verrrry happy vibe.

[riris-dock]

dear maria, count me in for ur relationship to kabu teehe....also angel of darkness & all the things she said!! :3c

Putting Champ in all of these ✌️

Dear Maria, Count Me In: What's your S/Is relationship with the character sent?

Hm hmm I imagine Champ looks up to Kabu much in the same way she looks up to Nanu(Uncle Nanu lol)

First time I put more serious thought into this so bewear with me-

I think. First time they meet will be when(in my canon at least bdhebeg) Alola league and Galar league start working more closely together bcs Champ works hard to get Alola out there yk? And she has to meet all the gym leaders cos she's. Champion and Chairman 2 in 1 package deal. Meets Kabu. "This guy's like if my Found Family Uncle was healthy."

I think. Their relationship remains mainly professional, if bordering on "you are my dad you're my dad!! Boogie woogie woogie" when they get closer. Don't think this happens until after he and Aster gets to the romance part 👁💋👁 He's one of the people she'll choose to sit beside in league meetings where she's banned from sitting with Piers( :( )

~~

Angel of Darkness: Is your S/I merciful and/or forgiving?

No!! I am a polite bitch irl and that remains a constant!!! No mercy for the mean maybe mercy for the weak tho. This goes for all of them especially captain and champ. Forgiving with a proper apology but always. Always keeps things in mind

~~

All The Things She Said: If your character was a part of the original media they're an insert for, how would the fandom treat them? How would they treat The ship?

Hit or miss... I'm betting most people wouldn't get her? Cause in official art I imagine there's only little hints to her non-Champion self like,, small, cute charm on her phone, standing in the bg of stuff w like a mini interaction w stuff yk? That stuff.. I also like to think of drawing her face just as glasses like (oo) so no expression kinda. But then analysers will be fighting for their life like "SHES BABY!!! SHE LIKES CUTE THINGS SHE PLAYS WITH HER POKEMON EVERY DAY SHE HELPS ALL THE ALOLA LOCALS!!!" 😭😭😭

The ship would. Also be verrrry hit or miss. I imagine because non work side will be more hidden it'll be a lot of "I can fix u" fanart both ways but then they're actually just. Happy guys

I have some brainrot about how she would be mispercieved because its funnay

[esprei]

The way you draw Joltiks makes me want to cry(/pos) they're so cute I NEED to give them lil smooches to the top of the they qwq (also I really love your art verrrry cool!)

AHHHHH WHA REALLY hhh thank you so so much! i'm so happy you like them! ;w; 💖💖💖

{blushes hard}

See, you saying things like that is why I was crushing on you for for so long.

W-well, you have to open the bag up to find out!

{inside the bag are package of a half a dozen homemade sugar cookies decorated to look like the Gear Station logo and a small plushie Archeops}

-♥️

Ah! Cookies!

I like sweets verrrry much yep! And I like how they look like the Gear Station. And a plushie! Of my Pretty Bird! What fun!

Thank you! You are verrrry sweet, just like the cookies! I am verrrry happy you came back!

[muse-hodgepodge]

Sunny is swaying a little bit, back and forth between his left and right legs but stops hearing their questions. "Oh! Well, our designer intended it to be this way so that it would be more identifiable to the children in our care on which of us handled play time and which one helped them sleep during naptimes. Since the daycare is normally verrrry bright during playtime it only made sense that I would be active in the light."

The jester is smiling, happy to give them the answers to these questions. After all, knowledge was very important to growing minds. "W-Well, that is a bit more complicated... Originally we were meant to be a single entity to make things run more smoothly. However! While they were developing the code that makes up our AI they accidentally messed up a couple of lines thus did our AI split apart."

"At first we weren't aware of each other, just getting memory gaps and the like when the other was out before one day, poof! We managed to discover that there was a link between our personalities and AIs. Since then we've always been very aware of each other and can talk to each other or share some data like memories or video feeds. Well, mostly Moony shares the videos cause he has more access to the system than me." Sun nods at the end of the explanation before looking down to Roxie and kneeling down to be able to connect to her port once Moon was ready. Once he was and they were connected Moon works to remove all the outside code and virus which takes about 15-20 minutes. Sunny disconnects once he's told to and smiles happily. "There we go! Now to reboot her! Ooooh this is exciting! I've never really gotten to truly meet the Glamrocks before!" He pushes her reboot button before closing the panel back up and steps away to give her some space.

It takes only a few moments before she starts to move and wake up, "what in the name of Dale Earnhardt Jr. happened... I was in my room a minute ago..."

The others watch as Sunny comes back out again. The way he does it is unique and peculiar to the group as they've not seen such a transformation before.

"Hey, how come you both have to change like this? Like, why do you need this much light to trick your systems anyway?" Rezna asks, tilting his head confused.

"Also, why are you both in the same body? I mean, they've built a lotta bodies. Wouldn't make one for each of your work just as well?" Pendro asks, curious.

Slane meanwhile helps move around Roxie so that they can easily access her panel and fix her up.

[leggerefiore]

Entomophobia

cw: bug fear and bug Death, Galvantula hybrid Emmet,

You screamed and hopped off the couch as the creature crawled out from behind you. Its distressing number of limbs carried it up the back cushions and scuttled on its way from you. The idea of it just existing in your apartment without your knowledge or consent sent you into a frenzy. You were still too horrified to move, however. Standing completely still, you pondered the best way to handle this situation. Killing it would be difficult, as would removing it. It was venomous, you knew. The Venipede crawled in your home without a care in the world.

What would it have even been eating here? Your home was definitely bug-free, thanks to your boyfriend. Where was he, anyhow? He could fix this! You were certain he would find this beast a meal. Its eyes suddenly cut back at you as you carefully tried to move towards his room. Maybe he was having a nap. He was nocturnal, after all. Opening the door, you made sure that the Venipede had not moved far. The Galvantula hybrid was, as you expected, asleep in his webs. As comfortable and cute as his sleeping face was (all his six eyes closed at once, while his fur and hair were tassled), you needed him awake.

“Emmet!” you shouted, watching as the Venipede tried to move from your line of sight. Panic surged through your system as you yelled his name again. He shot awake in a moment, scuttling from his web and to your side. Emmet's face was twisted with worry as he considered you carefully. There was no time. “Emmy, please, there's a Venipede, and it's big and creepy, and it crawled on me and-” you babbled out while pointing to the retreating bug. Emmet giggled at your reaction after he calmed down. His legs carried him with ease to the bug, who realised they had most certainly chosen the wrong home to invade.

You looked away as he injected his own venom into the bug, you struggled for a moment before going limp. The Galvantula hybrid moved the Venipede into his web, where he then began to cocoon it. You averted your eyes, uncomfortable by the sight. Still, you were relieved that the bug had not gone free to disappear into another part of your home.

“It's verrrry funny that you're afraid of bugs,” he commented as he joined you in the living room later, “How am I any less terrifying than that Venipede was?” You gazed at him for a moment. In a way, he was right. He was not any less terrifying than any other bug. One could even argue that he was more horrifying than other bugs due to how Galvantulas had the ability to poison and shock. Their fur could be shot off to paralyse you before they crawled over to you and injected their venom to completely immobilise you. Of course… Emmet was no simple arachnid, as shown by his human half. He was a hybrid, so he was both. Not to mention, he ate the bugs that frightened you.

It was easier to put with his goofy and occasionally smug behaviour than handling most bugs. Not to mention, you could sleep on his soft, fuzzy tummy and cuddle him for hours. He would talk to you as well. While not his forte, your conversations were fulfilling and interesting. “… For one, I sleep with you,” you replied, “For two… Well, I don't know. I know you'll keep me safe and have no plans to attack me. You're surprisingly clean, too, despite the webs everywhere.” He giggled again as plopped down beside you. His six purple eyes were clearly overcome with joy as his smile split his face. You could not resist giving him a sweet peck on his cheek. A strange purr-like sound escaped his throat as his arms came around you, pulling you flush against him.

Seriously, how could you be afraid of him? He was too much of a sweetheart to scare you, even at his more awkward moments. You had learnt most of the times in which he came off as creepy or intimidating was a by-product of him lacking proper human socialisation. (Which you and Ingo had been working with him on, but the progress did not really matter in the end. You were happy with him as he was, and Ingo saw no reason to further engage it unless he planned to enter the human world, which was far too dangerous for a hybrid like him.) You listened to the odd electrical humming in his body for a moment, before whining for a position shift. You both moved around until you were laying on the yellow fur of his abdomen. It was warmer down there…

“You kill the bugs that do scare me…” you yawned and nuzzled into the staticky fur, “I feel safe with you around. I know you'll protect me… And I'll protect you. I love you, Em…”

Emmet felt overcome with tender emotion for a moment. His precious mate could be so loving… He knew showing his strength in killing the intruder into his technical den would impress you. Though, he also enjoyed knowing that you would call for him whenever you were distressed or terrified. Being relied upon made him verrrrry happy. “I'll always protect my mate,” he cooed and relaxed his body, “I love you, too, darling!”
