Hii could we have a lvl 3?

Think very medcore, but also permalockdown + permasick + permamask + transsyshost + perma2000s (we know transids aren't a lvl 3 thing, just wanted to include them so you know as you make em!)

Human dragon hybrid thats humanoid, and definitely has wings. Loves d&d, dislikes pop music and cringe culture, and is scemo. Also always seen wearing a collar! Also wishes to become a nurse someday!

Thank you XD!

@problematic-vox

here you go! leaned slightly more into scemo than medcore because i struggled to mix the two, hopefully this is alright!

a new flower has blossomed! 🌹

Mainstream Men’s Perfume Quick Takes

Smelled in the store, not on my skin; YMMV

So, these are from Sephora; not niche perfumes for fumeheads but things that normal human beings wear.  

Terre D’Hermes

Notes: orange, vetiver, pepper, grapefruit, cedar, patchouli, benzoin, pelargonium.

Obnoxious.  It’s a beige smell, kind of fatty, overly friendly and pushy.  I’m told it’s full of Iso E, which is basically “the thing malls smell like.”  It might also be the benzoin that gives it that “intrusive-extrovert” vibe.  Instant repulsion.

Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver

Notes: vetiver, sichuan pepper, bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, olibanum, patchouli, amberwood

I have never smelled anything so evil. I thought I liked vetiver! This isn’t the “forest floor” aspect or the “refined gentleman” aspect but a musty, stinky, beige form of vetiver that just does not seem intended for humans to wear.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

Notes: vetiver, woods, oakmoss, grapefruit, orange blossom, nutmeg, orris root, sage, pimento, amber

This isn’t bad, but it’s a little odd.  It’s rooty (from the vetiver and orris) in a way that’s almost like carrots. It reads as a little dorky to me; it reminds me slightly of my indie-rocker art teacher with paint on his sleeves.

Tom Ford For Men

Notes: Ginger, lemon, tobacco, amber, orange, pepper, cedar, bergamot, basil, orange blossom, violet leaf, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, leather, cypriol

Smells dissolute, like a drug dealer. Someone you wouldn’t feel safe going home with.

Dior Homme

Notes: iris, cacao, leather, lavender, amber, oakmoss, bergamot, patchouli, sage.

This smells exactly like a dentist’s waiting room.

Dior Fahrenheit

Notes: leather, violet leaf, nutmeg, oakmoss, lavender, cedar, musk, chamomile, sandalwood, orange, amber, honeysuckle, patchouli, carnation, hawthorn, tonka, bergamot, jasmine, lemon, lily of the valley

This smells like black rubber. Exactly like black rubber. You know how an Equinox gym smells? That. It’s actually quite a comforting smell.  It screams “bro,” so judge accordingly whether that’s what you want.

Dior Sauvage

Notes: Ambroxan, bergamot, pepper, lavender, cedar, geranium, oakmoss, patchouli, labdanum, elemi

It’s fresh, cool, full of machismo, and a little crude. Now Smell This describes the bergamot as “abrasive”, which is about right; it’s fresh in a “goddamn it scrub harder! eliminate ALL contaminants!” shower gel way, which I find enjoyable though many don’t, and underneath that, the ambroxan offers sort of a warm skin-like “hey, remember I’m a naked man under my clothes” vibe. Want to smell like you’re too manly to have feelings? Here ya go.

YSL Y

Notes: Aldehydes, ambergris, bergamot, violet leaf, ginger, musk, mint, apple, sage, cedar, lemon, geranium, fir, pineapple, vetiver, incense

My notes say “This man is gay.”  

(Not polite of me, perhaps; of course gay men can smell however they like; but I was shopping for my husband and I was pretty confident Y would give the wrong impression.)

Versace Dylan Blue

Notes: ambroxan, bergamot, grapefruit, water, incense, patchouli, pepper, tonka bean, violet leaf, fig leaf, papyrus, saffron

My notes say “This man is gay and in show business.”

(Ok, that’s unfair of me. What I actually mean is that it’s a little ambery and fruity.)

Versace Pour Homme

Notes: Lemon, neroli, bergamot, tonka bean, hyacinth, clary sage, musk, rose, cedar, geranium, amber

I actually like this, at least compared to the other stuff in the store. It gives an impression of seriousness and elegance, reminiscent of classic cologne; plus it’s futuristic/chrome-and-blue/spaceship-esque in the way that perfume snobs hate but I kind of like. I could imagine it on Jean-Luc Picard.  

Versace L’Homme

Notes: Lemon, leather, carnation, oakmoss, cinnamon, bergamot, basil, musk, petitgrain, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, labdanum, rose, cedar, tonka bean, amber, jasmine

This is an Olympic athlete, in his underwear, on a space station.  (Maybe running laps on one of those centrifuge tracks.)  There’s a warmth there that I associate with skin and bodies, plus synthetic/futuristicness.

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme

Notes: Water, grapefruit, juniper, orange, amberwood, musk

This is the ur-spaceship scent, and I <3 it. It is super clean, super synthetic, super Y2K-aesthetic. It has never been near a plant or an animal in its life and it makes zero pretense of it.  If you secretly wish you were made of slick, hard, shiny polymer resin instead of yielding flesh (Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That), you will enjoy Light Blue.

i remember coming across a quote that said; when you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. when you feel angry: eat, and when you hate yourself: take a shower. when when i was younger, pre depression induced by trauma, i used to take long baths in the shower, baths that would last for as long as three hours, the only time i would finally leave was when any of my elders used the bathroom. now, coming full circle it makes sense. me being an extremely insecure prepubescent kid? that didn’t feel pretty enough? that felt extremely un-hyper feminine? that kids in my school made fun of me for looking like a tomboy because i had my hair up in a bun for ballet club? yeah, pride wasn’t so big back then during the 90’s to early y2k. but i guess my bullies were right about one thing, i’m gay now — full on hardcore lesbian. guess they were manifesting it. catholic girls in private schools are the worst tho. so! in hindsight, it made sense for me, to psychologically stay in my lola’s shower for a long period of time, finishing shampoo bottles for hair straightening and whitening soaps, hoping i’d look like my mestiza classmates in the end. honestly? idek how i ended up becoming meztisa now, i used to be as tan as ayn bernos because i was a competitive swimmer. now, that i’m older tho, i have a different reason for staying in there. after all, i got everything i wanted. i got the glow up i wanted. without surgery and injections, or effort, so it’s not due to insecurity for staying in there too long — basically? it’s wanting time to stop, correction: i want the world to stop. there’s just too much ill in it, too much happening all at once. and i don’t like this generation of kids who behave like the actual snowflakes and reason like they’re arguing with their parents. i just want everything to stop, and act like these people don’t exist. the shower has become a special place that feels like you’re standing in between the crossroads of life and death, and while your in here, in this frozen energy, you realize you couldn’t care less for both. you don’t want to die, but you don’t want to exist right now — and inside the four walled tiles of the shower, nothing seems to matter. your thoughts, your feelings, facts about you, facts about other people, other people’s feelings about you, money matters and problems, the never ending corrupt cycle of politics: being in the shower is the only time you’re living in the moment, when there is actually no moment. your only goal to accomplish for now is getting the dirt and grime off yourself. and i love the attention to detail one can put into simply looking like you’re doing the bare minimum of basic hygiene. in short, a passable and decent human being… during my relapses, i’ll admit, i didn’t shower as frequently as i should have. in my relapses, it’s sleep that feels productive, but when the mania hits it’s showering, and i’d take a god awful long time in there just like when i was a kid: lathering, scrubbing, shaving, splashing and repeating the process all over my body, to the point that i feel like even my soul has been stripped clean of it’s own impurities. besides, i have no one stopping me — i have my own bathroom now. i do what i want.
