Myrrhe Impérial is a couture fragrance that pays tribute to Myrrh, one of the gifts borne by the Three Mages, whose captivating notes of incense evoke spices, citrus fruits, and smoke all at once.
I try to refrain from saying things like 'WOW [NOTE X] SMELLS LIKE [NOTE X]' in my reviews because if you aren't familiar with [NOTE X] the comparison is meaningless.
I want perfume - from buying to sampling to reviewing - to feel accessible to everyone. I especially want perfume to feel accessible to those who might not be very experienced but have had their interest piqued.
But sometimes when a personal favorite (or nemesis) makes an entrance it's like getting hit by a very specific 2x4 and all your brain can do is confirm that you've just been whacked by a very specific 2x4.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#tag review#myrrh#Myrrhe Impérial#Armani#no waiting for the myrrh to kick in#very immediate entrance#no build up no red carpet no great unveiling#myrrh isn't the grand finale but the grand opening#and it's a really smooth myrrh too#not the acrid incense kind (perfume myrrh & incense myrrh are two different creatures)#and...new computer/printer paper?#the recyclable paper wrapping has just been torn open#revealing a pristine stack of white paper#that hasn't seen the light of day#since being manufactured & packaged for sale#brand new printing paper ➡️ new tent#just unrolled for the first time#with all those creases and crinkles#and that (unblemished) canvas & plastic scent#what what what?!#no vanilla backlash?!#no cloying french vanilla or cheapest extract in existence or burning plastic?!#holy shit#this is good#more laidback than annick goutal's 'myrrh ardent'#which can kinda sorta go#flat dr. pepper syrup at the very end#when i'm at a certain point in my menstrual cycle#what a shame this was discontinued tbqh#especially for us folks whose chemistry butts heads with vanilla

the scarf is coming along and soon I'll have to get used to wearing *gasp* actual colors that aren't black or grey or so dark they could be mistaken for black when it's dark out
#still not sure abt the colors#I kinda took whatever yarns felt comfy&homey to me#which might be why it matches my apartment decor a bit too much lmao going out dressed like my apartment sure okay that works#it's also giving ''scarecrow'' to me for some reason (tho.. I could be madder abt it like scarecrow could be a look)#anyways the joy of doing things urself is that u can choose whatever colors and just sorta see how it goes#like idk if it's colorblind combo but I think I'm definitely gonna be wearing it#(my main point wasn't to make something actually super good and great; just to have something to do and practice my knitting which like#I made a hat like 9 years ago and have barely done anything since (aside from like 4 random squares when I once thought I'd knit a blanket#but like dude?? a blanket as the second thing u've ever knitted?? that was too ambitious. So hence a scarf; a small blanket))#aesthetic#I truly dont know any arts&crafts tags#studyblr#booklr#bookblr#december 2024#2024

(Another) Ghost in the Machine
DP x Hellblazer (the original John Constantine comic)
Ritchie Simpson continued to search frantically for the connection out of the computer and back to his body as he begged John to explain what he meant by saying “Goodbye.”
Had John disconnected him? He knew John’s sense of humor wasn’t the lightest, especially after Newcastle drove them all a bit insane, but that felt too far even for him. Nah, he’d probably just gotten himself a bit lost in the wave of energy he’d experienced in the Tongues of Fire network and was accidentally looking for his body in the wrong spot.
He pulled himself back and let his mental connection to the digital world expand outward, probing the rest of the machine for the connection. He knew he was in the right system, so as long as he looked thoroughly he’d definitely fi—
Everything flashed a surge of blinding white and then was replaced by pure darkness. He thought he screamed, but he couldn’t hear his own voice. Couldn’t even feel his own thoughts. Trapped in one single instant that stretched for indeterminable eons. Then, eventually (or was it immediately?), awareness began to trickle back.
He was still in the computer, though it felt… different, somehow. His thoughts still weren’t entirely in order. The first possible hints towards his location he found were the sound voices trickling through from the outside world. Voices he didn’t recognize. Young voices.
“I’m happy to help, Tuck, but I’m not really sure what you expect me to do here. You’re way better than me at this computer stuff than me.”
“By all means, feel free to keep complimenting me, but this has been frying my brain, man. I got this thing secondhand, and the system should be quite powerful, but there’s something using up a ton of its processing and I can’t figure out what. I was hoping you could do your ‘enter into the computer’ thing and see if you see anything.”
#okay so for people who don’t know what’s going on with the DC side:#in John Constantine: Hellblazer there’s this old friend of Constantine called Richie who uses “quantum magic” to inteface with computers#and Constantine asks him to find the base of the Resurrection Crusaders (a religious group that’s an antagonist of that part of the comic)#which he does do. but while looking into the Tongues of Fire subgroup he encounters a thing of energy that burns his body to a crisp#but his mind is still in the computer unaware of that#and constantine doesn’t know how to explain that to him so he just… doesn’t.#and unplugs the machine as like a mercy kill ish thing#in the comic he sorta survived in the network for a time longer#but instead this idea was more like he was trapped in the memory banks of the computer#which eventually made its way into Tucker’s hands and led to him and Team Phantom meeting#he’d probably count as a ghost but the situation would certainly be unusual for both sides#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#danny phantom x dc#danny phantom x dc crossover#dp x hellblazer#dpxdc john constantine#dp x dc prompt#dpxdc prompt#dc x dp prompt#dcxdp prompt#oh also. just gonna kinda sidestep how he helped Constantine out later in the original. I guess John worked something else out this time.#or maybe that event could be delayed so Ritchie can still show up (perhaps with Team Phantom’s aid too though…)

so funny thing that happened on twitter-
and erm, i got some help and feedback from more knowledgeable people (@leoincaps) soooo-
Young Emo Tango & Scene Skizz respectively :3
#tangotek#skizzleman#tango tek#skizzleman fanart#tangotek fanart#young versions bc i said so#with how red tango is you'd expect him to be a red/black emo#but only sorta#his aesthetic changes faster than you can say Decked Out but for the most part he was a dark blue/black kinda guy#he definitely had red/black phases#which yk. he's stuck with to this day#also idc about timelines and stuff- Tango definitely got his bracelets from Zed Impulse and Skizz#he got the pink “fuck!” bracelet from Zed :3#also!! Imp & Skizz have matching eyebrow piercings#i didn't draw them but i imagine Zedaph dabbled in like aaaall kinds of aesthetics and looks#like I could see Zed going wildly colorful with just pinks purples and yellows#Impulse probs also mainly stuck with scene#just cuz i've seen tons of amazing scene impy designs :3#oh right uh art tags erm#traianos art

it’s totally wishful thinking but i really really hope that jack is a Massive Bitch in s16. you could ask this a lot for supernatural but why even bother taking a character who, even in the writers’ eyes, is a sweet silly little guy, and very loudly implying that he’s — A) deeply insecure about his place in his surrogate family and whether or not he’s loved & appreciated for himself or just the convenience of his powers, and B) effectively playing house with them and masking a far more intense personality to maintain that dynamic — and just not let him get out of that mask? not take it any further?
the most we get in s15 is jack switching up from sloppy murder-cannibalism to playing connect 4 with Cas and matching ties with Cas and some spiel about having a teddy bear all right before dropping the bomb on Cas that he’s planning to kill himself and won’t be talked out of it. and various other little things to suggest he’s still overwhelmed with so much guilt that he doesn’t even feel like he belongs at the bunker anymore. like he’s lost the right to be one of them after everything he did.
and his soulless spiral was like, half “I will go fucking insane if I lose the people I care about,” half “I will go fucking insane if I lose my place in their family/if I have to face who I am deep down.” the impulsive temper, the slight ruthlessness, everything he’s ever shown when the chips are down and everything that makes him Pretty Fucking Scary, even to the people who love him. not just Scary, but also everything that makes him a bit more like his father than his mother; everything michael warned him he would turn into.
so, if it turns out he’s possessed or lobotomized or whatever else and he gets any chance to be freed of the god business, i need him to be the nastiest fucker on the planet about everything that’s ever happened to him. need that vindication
#cal.txt#also tacking on how he behaved in s13. which like yes he’s naive and adorkable and nice there too for sure#but god forbid you stare at him or he’s gonna cast the penance stare right back#he can genuinely be a bitch when he wants to or when he’s annoyed enough and he deserves it! he deserves to kill more people even!#he deserves another go at cannibalism! idgaf anymore#spn#supernatural#spn season 16#jack kline#spn meta#sorta kinda not really but close enough

Modern au
Manon and Dorian are kinda sorta pretentious af and they made sure their daughter has a name that has its own weight but also they made sure it’s beautiful.
Their daughter’s name and middle name translates to: beautiful gracious queen (her first name is welsh like her mama and Dorian was the one to pick her middle name and he made sure both names worked together both in sound and meaning)
The daughter accidentally learned of her name’s meaning and with her ego it wasn’t a good kind of knowledge.
Because when anyone referred to her as ‘princess’ she’d just roll her eyes (like her mom) and mutter “why call me a princess when I’m a queen”
Anyway baby ate her pride when she started school and was forced to learn how to write her name. Because her name (first) is long. With eight letters there were a lot of tears involved.
Manon negotiated (she actually lost the negotiations because her daughter is small and too pitiful she had to help) again pushover mama so anyway baby would write it only three times and Manon would write the rest.
Dorian was like ‘witchling, you can’t do that’ and he’d sit with his daughter instead because ‘you need to learn how to write your name’ but his daughter argues that his and Manon’s names are short and they don’t understand her plight
Dorian is like, it’s only two letters more than his name, and three letters more than Manon’s so it’s really not that bad.
He lays down on the floor next to the tantruming child. He helps by writing her name twice but she has to do the rest.
Honestly Manon is weak and gives in easily this is why Dorian took over homework because he can handle their child and her dramatics (which she takes after him that’s why he GETS her while Manon just gives in)
#booklr#books and reading#throne of glass#manon blackbeak#tog#dorian havilliard#manon x dorian#manorian#child is dramatic but she does have a long name#Dorian shocked her into silence when he wrote her WHOLE name and told her that see your first name isn’t too bad you could be writing THIS#instead and he’d add: it would probably take you a whole month to finish so be grateful it’s just that#but his daughter would argue that she rarely goes by her full name anyway it’s always shortened and her TEACHER even calls her by that name#but she’s a meanie who makes her write her full first name for a reason#but really Dorian decided that school work is going to be his thing#Manon has trauma from her own academic performance which is why she vowed to never put any kind of academic pressure on her child even if#it means doing half of her daughter’s homework because she won’t let her suffer like she did#Dorian was like nope I’m handling this you just put it out of your mind and he was the one handling school#not doing much just making sure his daughter does her homework he doesn’t care about grades as long as his daughter is putting in the work#if she struggles with a subject he maxes sure to explain it to her so that she doesn’t struggle but it’s mostly just a no pressure area#Dorian and Manon would never pressure their daughter to get straight A’s in all her classes she can get whatever grade she wants as long as#she’s happy. but after the first few years like starting fifth or sixth grade their daughter kinda sorta saw the light and took studying#seriously because she likes the sense of accomplishment and loves getting praised so she made it her thing#she loves it when her parents show up to these things so that was another incentive

I get the sense that Nina is gonna haunt the next season.
#creature commandos#discussion in tags ->#im having A Moment#bride crashout incoming question mark.#i would Love To See her go after flag but its not gonna happen lol#i mean i guess she already kinda did. killing Rostovic. but like. i want her to lose it#bride says shes the only kind one out of them. she finally accepts that theyre friends and then accidentally drives her to her to her death#i want nina to have been a Uniting Force of the team. i want everything to go to shit w/o her there#a character whose Whole Life is defined by being a perceived burden to others is finally almost able to prove herself and.#i want the bride to go absolutely postal i want phosphorus to try changing for the better. asterisk. sorta. hear me out#the bride is just about nihilistic atp. she straight up says if rostovic hadnt killed nina she wouldnt have cared enough.#she deserved to have a sparkling fiery vengeful meltdown about everything next season. and she should get to kill eric godspeed.#phosphorus has already gotten his revenge.#he went through terrible shit and killed everyone who wronged him and then went on a hedonistic bender about it.#(phosphorus is also the only one to go by a different name. and he chose it for himself. i dont have anythng to say abt that yet but. ow)#but he clearly is still wracked with guilt about his wife and kids deaths too. He goes for Thorne at home. He definitely kills his kids.#in what i can only see as an intentional parallel.#but then in pokolistan when he is given a Very Legitimate reason to kill the little girl [she could out the team] not only does he Not-#he talks to and plays with her in a way that is Immediately a parallel to his own kid owwwww#[for hours possibly? isnt it night when theyre being chased and morning when her parents come down?? ill have 2 check tho]#good god im off topic anyway#phosphorus is a sarcastic prick like. comedically so.#the aformentioned scene is pretty much the only time in the whole show hes even remotely sincere#when him and the bride are trying to reassure nina before she goes to kill the princess-#he A] sounds genuinely earnest B] calls her “kid” and C] waits for her to leave before ruining it lmao#and like. i dont know if he felt paternal or anything but i do think her death is gonna mess him up a little#or maybe theyll all get worse.. i wouldnt be annoyed if they all crash the fuck out together. GI is gonna find out eventually too.#also hes reformed. kinda. in some of his recent comic appearances which makes for a fun dynamic certainly#christ this was a novel im sorry hsajdghkgdah#i dont rly have a satisfying ending i just.

idk if this is a good prompt but put doomguy in myhouse.wad I think he would find it enriching
Right, so I've been mulling on this one for a little bit now, n I'm not opposed to writing something for you, I'm just not... entirely sure what to write? Because the thing is, myhouse.wad doesn't actually really have anything to do with Doom as a story. Sure, Doom is important in that it's the vessel through which the story is told and one of the connections between the narrator and his dead companion. But as far as Doom itself goes, and the story about a man who was too angry/stupid to die, fighting demons and saving earth, none of that is at all relevant to myhouse.wad and its story. For all intents and purposes, Doomguy isn't actually a character in myhouse.wad. So I'm not really sure how exactly to fit him in there.
#pikspeak#bc like. ok so if u say write dg as if he is actually the character in myhouse.wad#then the problem is that theres a pretty huge meta element to myhouse.wad and having some of the outside context- even just the context tha#its supposed to be the creator's dead friend's childhood home- is important. youre not MEANT to 'immerse' yourself in it or pretend you are#the protag. part of the impact comes from knowing youre just an observer and this is just a videogame on your computer.#writing dg as a character inside myhouse.wad would rob it of a lot of context and therefore impactfulness. hed just be walking around an#old house looking at things that have no meaning to him.#so ok then not dg as the protag of myhouse.wad but what about just like.. him in the funky liminal space of myhouse.wad? the non-euclidean#reality breaking shifting house of leaves place of myhouse.wad? i *could* do something like that if thats what youre looking for#but then considering this is the character whose reaction to finding himself in literal hell was to go 'hey??? this is stupid???? anyway im#gonna kill everything here' he probably wouldnt be too exceptionally ruffled by finding himself in a sorta funky reality breaking space.#hed probably still just go 'oh weird. funky. anyway back to killing demons.' and that would be it. which yeah i CAN write if its what u wan#it just. yknow. doesnt quite seem like the right tone? just kinda flat by comparison#i have considered doing things in the right tone before. since it is also canon that on his way back to hell dg has to run through the#burned out ruins of his own hometown. something similar to the visiting an old place thats been twisted by time and grief and coming to#terms with its loss or something to that effect#but. if im being honest i dont know that i have the writing skill to pull that off well much less as a short fic for a prompt response#uhhh anyway where was i going with this.#im happy to write something for you; possibly even something myhouse.wad related if you want!! im just not sure how to do that hdfbhdj...#anyway sorry for letting this one sit for so long without an answer. have another fic prompt where the fic is getting a little longer than#anticipated n combining that with rotating this to try n figure out what i could write for it...#guess time got away from me a little bit. sorry about that!

hey. you know what
i'm pretty good at drawing :3
#im going through my old art summaries as i'm prepping this year's#and... man. i've been hard on myself lately but god i do actually draw very well and i should be proud of that#it can be hard sometimes and it won't always come out perfect#but when i go hard. i Go HARD#i should be less afraid to make mistakes and be more adventurous when i draw stuff#looking back at all this stuff from the last decade... it's made me happy. which is sorta weird cuz up until now it made me feel kinda sad#like i thought the last few years especially had been kind of flops but tbh i've done a lot! and i think many of the things i did were cool#idk i'm feeling good and nostalgic now#hoping for a good art year in the coming year. i wanna challenge myself more and keep getting better

two wolves type situation. one is telling me to not go overboard with the historical research because it can and will come off as annoyingly pedantic and a bit of a weird flex that might potentially estrange a part of the audience. the other is making me look up maps showing the specific dates on which railways in the invaded areas were fixed and reutilized for military use
#interestingly I've come up with a compromise in which I do research to my heart's content and then intentionally muddy the waters a lil bit#incoherence by mishap is always kinda awkward and embarrassing ig. but incoherence by intent is what you call creative liberty#(that being said i feel like i have even more respect for people who write historical (fan)fiction without all that much research)#(and just go with their gut yanno? it often yields a more authentic end product imo)#(because there's less sidetracking and a keener focus on the actual story being told)#(I've sorta noticed that historical accuracy can easily become padding for a story without much substance on its own)#(like with the random ass library book im reading atm. it has an interesting premise but the author goes absolutely nowhere with it)#(but it's still an interesting fictional portrayal of a place that existed in a historical limbo and then disappeared so.)#(it has its charm. but as a book and a story it's just clumsily written tropey mush)#(...anyway. this turned into a tag ramble huh)#(im waiting for my headache to let up so i can go back to writing. everyone wish me a very efficient paracetamol)#unknown soldier

morgchie is such a severe mismatch of freak and it makes me feel so bad for morgan bc 😭 i mean she also thinks so but not in the way that it actually is! bc HER perspective on things Pre Literally Everything From The Moment He Showed Up At The Hospital With Sam Onward was like “damn. richie is so normal. cool of him to put up with me but why the hell is he doing that” and it’s like babygirl. you are a teenager w severe childhood trauma that left you feeling fundamentally shut off from your peers who likes holing up in ur room drawing silly little horror characters. that man is ghostface and he’s evil. YOU are not the worse off one in this r/s 😭
#like you know a lil too much abt fnaf and got samara morgan/slenderman/bughuul/ghostface painted on ur bedroom wall#sure.#but he is planning a massacre he got NO kinda room to think YOURE weird 😭#you have to understand that morgan’s metric of normal is like#can socialize w others and enjoys doing so. has a visible emotional range. generally seems to be having a Good Time#has not had their brain chemistry irreparably altered in a way that makes them feel alien around other ppl#so basically. the inverse of what she has going on 😭#so ofc she thinks he’s normal 😭#sure he may be a grown man obsessed w stab who is dating a high schooler#(well two. but she didnt know him n amber were a thing until WAAAAAY later 😭)#but he’s expressive + can talk to ppl & hold down a job + does not seem apathetic abt whether he lives to see tomorrow 😭#and comes from a seemingly stable bg off what she knows abt it which is. not an insane amount but enough to know it was Not like hers!#so shed say he’s still significantly better off than her 😭#id say babygirl were gonna get u some better self esteem but this like. isnt even#a thing she beats herself up over. to her its just kind of a fact#water is wet. the sky is blue. richie’s gotta have other options better than a very troubled 17 yr old n she dk why he isnt pursuing Them#thing is he sorta kinda doesnt?? given his track reco-*i am SHOT*#— ♡ 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘮 (𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭) // morgan fox.#— ➴ 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳. // morgchie.#— slasherverse posting.
