Welcome Home x Plushie Reader Headcanons:

Scent Range! 👃

Headcanon: Plushie reader, much like a Fur berry [long forgotten scented plush] or Strawberry Shortcake toys [I don't know if they're still scented nowadays-] has scented fur. Only difference is, their scent changes depending on whom they're interacting with.

Note: the scent is usually very faint and unnoticeable, but it flares up on contact/if you're being patted/ loved on/Happy.

🎨 Wally [+ 🏠 Home]

Scent: mainly Apple pie/ cinnamon apple

🍎 If he's close enough to smell it, he'll get closer to you without even realizing it and press his face into your fur. [🏠 He'll have a peaceful look if he detects the scent.]

🍎 He'll tell you bluntly that you smell good and cling to you. [🏠 Home always compliments your scent whenever you're over]

🍎 Now that you've taught him to sleep, he'll often go to you if he wants to nap or invites you over. [🏠 Home’s pretty much a second/Vacation house for you with how often you're over.]

👁 he'd be mildly upset when you have to leave/or someone else arrives and screws up the scent. [🏠 gets mildly nervous watching you and Wally from afar when other neighbors come around.]

🦴 Barnaby

Scent: Bacon/Hot dog

🐶 it's mostly when he really gets you laughing that he'll notice your scent.

🐶 he gets a kick out of it, and playfully starts nuzzling your head.

🐶 sometimes, he'll even nibble your ears playfully to mess with you.

🐶 if he's feeling a bit down, he'll bear hug you and nuzzle your head to cheer himself up. [Succeeds nearly everytime]

🐶 He'd often get hungry from the scent and treat the two of you to a hot dog from Howdy's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🪀 Julie

Scent: saccharine sweet/Candy

🧸 Once she catches whiff of it, she'll never wanna let you go.

🧸 She'd bury her face in your fur, murmuring how good you smelled.

🧸 the neighbors would often find her on your shoulders, playing with your ears.

🧸 during sleepovers, she sleeps very close to you, and you wake up the next morning with her atop you.

🧸 Sometimes Frank needs to convince her to get off you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🦋 Frank

Scent: Jasmine/Lavender

📚 during a reading session with you, he detected the scent coming off of you.

📚 he found this interesting and wondered how you had such a unique trait.

📚 He certainly feels much calmer with you and that scent around.

📚 at times if something is getting on his nerves, he'll lean into you and let you give him side hugs to steady his nerves.

📚 Sometimes falls asleep leaned against you if you're sitting together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🪶 Poppy

Scent: various fresh baked pastries

🍪 during a knitting session, she caught whiff of freshly baked cookies, which is something she didn't remember baking that day. Then she realized it was coming off of you.

🍪 she'd be quite confused at first, but after you assured her it was natural, she actually grew to enjoy it.

🍪 sometimes when you're with her, the other neighbors think she baked something.

🍪 during downtimes, she'd rest her head atop yours, preening your ears gently.

🍪 sometimes she'd fall asleep with her neck slung around your shoulders, like a swan hug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🐛 Howdy

Scent: lavender

🛍 when you were assisting him in his shop, he caught whiff of your scent when you passed by him.

🛍 he'd kinda lose focus on what he was doing, as the scent would kind of put him in a mild trance.

🛍 during breaks, he'd hug you with all four arms, nuzzling your head to unwind.

🛍 Sometimes you'd have to remind him of the time to snap him back into focus.

🛍 Frank has caught this, and has since been observing your interactions with Howdy. Even with binoculars sometimes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☀️ Sally

Scent: Roses

🎭 She smelled it after a successful performance, when she hugged you with excitement.

🎭 since then she has you sit beside her, either during playwriting, directing or just in general.

🎭 sometimes, she falls asleep on your belly during playwriting or freetime.

🎭 if rehearsals aren't going well, she holds your paw upto her face to keep herself steady. At times her grip hurts.

🎭 hugs from her are a lot more frequent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✉️ Eddie

Scent: Jasmine

💌 He caught a faint scent of it when delivering your mail, and when walking by you, but thought it was just him.

💌 it finally clicked that it was you when you were making arts and crafts with him.

💌 During stressful times, you'd walk beside him or sit with him, hoping your scent would ease his nerves. [And it did]

💌 He and Frank found out they liked the same scent, which somewhat brought them closer.

💌 you were often a guest to any meet-ups he and Frank may have.

From my Wattpad book.

I finally ran out of energy today! woke up, fed and medicated all the animals, and then went back to bed. Pangur was very pleased about that, though….. having social day naps is her favourite thing in the world.

roommate!ghost who gets home from a long deployment, forgetting to buy groceries for himself afterwards and having to use some of your products.

like, surely he made a mental note five months ago to buy himself some body soap because he just ran out right before his deployment, or at least in his note app. oh, of course. his phone died and he forgot to charge it. well, you won't mind if he use yours, right? and maybe some shampoo too, he can't be walking around the house with greasy hair.

he returned late at night, stumbling into the flat you two shared with his stomach empty, greasy as hell and his soap bottle all empty in the bathroom. just his luck after getting into such a shitty mission.

when you woke up the next day, he was asleep on the couch, not wearing his balaclava and still have his towel around his neck. an empty tupperware on the coffee table (was it the other half of your burrito last night that you kept for today?), some beer (was it yours!?), and the tv being on.

somehow, his hair looked softer, so you ran your fingers through his hair instinctively. and goddammit it was so soft. it was unreal. how did he get his hair so soft with 5-in-1 bodywash!? unless...

ghost woke up from your constant yapping, yawning and rubbing his hair, unsure of what's such a big deal. it's just bodywash, right? and maybe a little bit of shampoo, your leftovers, and some of your beer. why are you so mad at him?

plus, now he smells just like you, had an indirect kiss with you from the burrito, so why should he be bothered that you're yelling at him?

So lately I’ve been seeing a lot of posts asking people to stop trying to make Odysseus look nice in their works cuz he’s a “messed-up person in the mythology”. Your opinion is valid however I have but one thing to point out:

You want to know who started all this? Who started to “make Odysseus look nice” in the first place?

It’s Homer. It’s nobody else but Homer himself.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would try to murder people out of his own interests. He’d murder Palamedes without remorse (and we’d be cheering over this but it’s a murder after all), he’d attempt to murder Diomedes just to get the Palladium himself, he’d volunteer to kill Astyanax…meanwhile you wouldn’t find any mention of either Palamedes or Nauplius in Homer’s poems, neither did he mention anything abt the Palladium heist (and Diomedes necessity did not happen until Conon’s version), the death of Astyanax, the distribution of war prizes, etc. And all the details in the Odyssey seemed to deny the existence of Nauplius’s vengeance at all, so Odysseus would not take any of the blame.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would be depicted as “cruel, treacherous”, meanwhile in book 10 of the Iliad Odysseus was not mentioned to have killed anyone during the marauding, neither did he promise Dolan anything at all. The negative interpretations are denied by these details subtly put by Homer.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would be widely known as a “coward” for only shooting arrows from afar. But Homer gave him a spear and had him absolutely slaying in both the Iliad and the Odyssey. That part of Ajax’s speech was invalid already.

Most importantly—a non-Homeric Odysseus would be having kids everywhere else, and the loyalty to his own wife as seen in the Odyssey is no where to be found. Meanwhile his lineage was a single-son line made by Zeus in the Odyssey, and his love for Penelope was one of his main drives, especially seen in book 5 of the Odyssey. He loved his family as a loving parent—something you don’t get to see in most of the non-Homeric writings—for most of the time they followed a different tradition indeed, in which Odysseus wasn’t half as nice as in the Odyssey.

TL;DR: in case you haven’t noticed, the characterization of the Homeric Odysseus was quite different from a non-Homeric version of Odysseus. It’s not that Homer didn’t know of the existence of other versions—he knew them too well, which is why in his version of the story, you don’t get to see any mention of them.

not sure if you've given them canon scents, but i've found myself imagining how your dog boys smell since i tend to like,, assign scents to characters/art i really enjoy (my nose is very sensitive, haha) so in my head, i think that machete smells a bit like flour ... and freshly washed laundry. his scent is distinct but not overpowering at all--its subtle, and typically goes unnoticed. as for vasco? he smells like cashmere :)

Flour boy...

I'd say these are good headcanons! I'm also kind of scent oriented irl so I know what you mean, and I've thought about what my characters might smell like.

Machete smells mostly of frankincense, which is one of the key ingredients of the incense burned in catholic churches during worship. It's hard to describe but I'd call it sweet, resinous, woody, citrusy and smoky. He doesn't wear perfume in the canon setting but the sacred smoke clings to his fur and clothes for a long while. Other than that, there may be a fleeting trace of lignin and ink from the endless stacks of books and papers he surrounds himself with, mild soap, and the lingering evidence of any medical treatments he's been recently put through, even if he tries his best to scrub those away.

Vasco smells primarily clean but distinctly alive and organic, if that makes sense. Like a well-rounded mix of earth, sun-warmed animal fur and carefully oiled leather from his boots and riding gear. Horse aromas are never too far away, especially when he's off-duty and outdoors. You may able to detect the subtle fragrance of his expensive soap, and he's been known to add in a drop of perfume when he's dressed to impress, his preferred notes being iris root and damask rose.

In modern au, both wear scents on occasion. I could say Machete's routine choices might be Etat Libre d'Orange's Rien and Heeley's Cardinal. Vasco fancies Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather and ELDO's Tom of Finland.

Just remembered that the canonical reason Anthony had no comeback while Kate was calling his horsemanship deficient and saying all he has to offer is a pretty smile

Was because he was too busy being enamoured by the way she smells

[canisalbus]

I have to ask what drew vasco into falling in love with machete?

His snivelling runt ways were just that irresistable.
