Part II Of The Perfume Series.

Part II of the perfume series.

Nicky:

That man does not give a single fuck if a perfume is for women man or Unix, he likes what he likes period.

I see him as a sweet and fruity perfume guy and I can imagine him with more than one.

One I can see for daily wear is mugler angel nova in the evening or for clubbing I could see him with lust for sun from Juliet has a gin.

I can also imagine that Erik gifted him something like boss orange.

Seth:

Axe Bodyspray, and too much of that.

Matt:

Matt is a rich boy, so he will wear more expensive perfumes, but not like Allison in a "I want the best" way but more in a "oh that smells nice what do you mean 200$ is expensive" kind of way.

I see Matt with like a woody clean scent with maybe a bit of green.

Examples would be xerjoff nio or parfums de Marly Perseus.

Kevin:

While from vibe alone he would peg me as someone who would spend time on something like perfume, I don't think his exy brain allows it.

I think he will want to smell clean and sophisticated for appearance sake, but he will not spend a lot of time.

I could also imagine him going with a brand who used him for advertisement.

I could see him in something like Paco rabanne invictus or parfums de Marly Percival.

Renee:

I take her shoes meine who doesn't take it too seriously, but will get joy out of trying new things.

I see her with perfumes with stranger notes, but still firmly rooted in the wearable area.

I think she is quite versatile but will maybe have 3 perfumes max at the time.

Perfumes I could see her with are yes I am by cacharel, Maison margiela matcha meditation or issey miyake l'eau d'issey.

Andrew:

Bow Andrew, with everything he does, is very intentional with perfume.

I don't see him as someone who will take that decision lightly and I definitely think he is someone with a signature scent.

He will spend money on that and he will not be afraid to go into niche territory.

I could imagine tobacco notes but I would also firmly put him with sweeter gourmand fragrances.

Something I could imagine on him is Montale Arabians Tonka or something like bdk gris charnel.

bonus + design notes:

sparknotes:

tridentarii: the building block was "lions" (corona's mane of hair and king vibes + ianthe's scar lionking swagger) but i think i lost that plot at some point. regardless peep the earrings for symbols of their twisted mutualism. also they have dimples <3 bc on corona they're perfect and on ianthe (when she smiles wide enough) they're sickeningly dissonant

the nonas: harrow has curls bc i think the only thing funnier than saddling a nun who's been shaving her head since infancy with fast-growing hair is for that hair to be horrible messy springy curls that are barely spared from frizz by the sheer grease #bathingisn'tsafeformern. please also applaud my restraint in adhering to canon and not giving nona dimples. she deserved them

the sixth: came to me fully formed honestly. palamedes calls camilla beautiful enough for the alexandrites so i just let my heart and sapphism take the wheel here. for pal when i first read gtn i visualized him very differently but other artists made such a compelling case for scruffy pal that now i can't see him any other way

the second: also let my heart take the wheel here. wanted to draw a man carved out of hardwood so i did <3 at the caliber of necromancer that g1d is i know he probably wouldn't have so much scarring but the heart wants what it wants (cool factor). in my head and in my heart they're from wake

naberius: i don't have anything to say in my defense. i rewatched teen beach movie, found the perfect face claim and set the wheels of fate in motion. i think babs is hot the way a ken doll is hot, y'know? it takes yanny piloting his flesh mecha for him to be gender (<- testimonial from my masc nb friend)

Jean Moreau is like. And don’t shoot me for this. As a character he’s what happens when the “sold to one direction as a teenager” concept really really does not pan out

whoever decided to start implementing ads on here that automatically unmute and cut off any music app you might have on in the background as you scroll by should be hunted for sport

Do you ever just think about how the headboard on Kevin's bed on the Nest doesn't budge. Of all the hints about what his life there was like that's the one that gets to me the most because it's so deliberate. Because even though he's probably physically stronger than Riko or at least evenly matched, Kevin wouldn't fight back. But he wasn't given the choice to anyway

honestly i think putting neil in kevin’s side of the room is such a telling choice during the castle evermore scenes. we spend so much of the first and second book hearing about how much kevin fears his so-called family, their haunting of the narrative as bloodthirsty hounds who can sniff out his fear, and when we actually get to finding out why that is we see it from someone who was immediately shoved into kevin’s old place. riko wasn’t just hurting neil because he wanted to (“i’m going to enjoy hurting you just as much as i enjoyed hurting kevin”), he was making sure neil knew he was inferior by putting him in direct contact with the roles kevin and jean played in the nest, using him as a substitute for the one that got away. neil gets a speedrun of some of the worst moments of kevin’s life, and he gets not a single breathing moment for it before he has to be shoved back into exy, like kevin was

i wouldn’t dare presume nora sakavic’s intentions on anything at this point, but i like the idea that neil’s stay at evermore was supposed to tell us all we needed to know about kevin’s time there, without kevin ever having to actually recount the years (he wouldn’t, even if he could): that it was horrifying, and that being in his shoes will never be as glamorous as neil previously thought. i like the breaking of neil’s expectations for kevin; i like how it makes neil realize the life kevin led was not better. and that’s the point, isn’t it? when neil is lying in kevin’s bed, handcuffed to kevin’s headboard, his legs pinned under kevin’s only friend, getting hurt by kevin’s brother, that’s what neil realizes: this is not better. it might be different than life on the run, but it is not better.

“Teacher, may I ask a question? What does it mean to love God?”

Thinking about Judith Deuteros, told that her Blood of Eden captors are debating letting her die from peritonitis without pain relief:

"I thank the Prince Undying my God, merciful in justice and gentle in remembrance, for this being so. I haven’t thanked God enough over my life. It always seemed incredibly sentimental. And I didn’t wish to presuppose his interest."

About Ianthe, who doesn't pray, but who

“studied what happened when the Lord our Kindly God took our dead and dying Houses and brought them back to life, all those years ago … what price he would have had to pay."

And yet, who will ultimately turn on her mentor to save god himself.

Abigail, who doubts:

“I firmly believe that the Kindly Emperor knows nothing of that undiscovered country. He never claimed omnipotence. I longed my whole life to give him my findings”

And yet amidst that doubt, even in death, believes the god whose servant brutally murdered her is good and prays for help to the man who never claimed omnipotence:

"Pent even murmured, “The King over the River is good”

“Oh, God,” she heard Abigail say. “God, please help me.”

About Silas, a child raised in vengeful fundamentalism to exploit his cavalier, and yet who cannot fathom the possibility that god would ask the brutality of Lyctorhood of him:

"I understand that if the Emperor and King Undying came to me now and asked me why I was not a Lyctor, I would fall on my knees and beg his forgiveness, that any of us had ever failed this test. May I be burnt one atom at a time in the most silent hole in the most lightless part of space, Lord—Kindly Prince—should I ever contemplate betraying the compact you appointed between him, and you, and me.”

And Harrow, the product of the murder of 200 children in the name of preventing the death of god, who desperately asks god what it means to love him:

“Decent dinner and a bottle of average rosé. Maybe a movie. I’m not picky,” he said.
