Shitposting Rave OOC

I hope Vic isn't too obnoxious for everyone, but she's a cynic with a sharp tongue

 

well, personally i'm fond of her :D

 

I am a perfume nerd!

Musk is an aromatic substance that is used as the base note of many perfumes. Most of the time it is synthetic so that we don't have to kill musk deer to get it any more. It comes from a gland in the deer that produces pheromones, which are sexually attractant chemicals. Civet is a form of musk that comes from the civet "cat" and can be produced without harm to the animals, so that is still used, but it is very expensive. There are also some species of plants that produce this kind of scent. Musky scents have a lot of indoles and ketones in them. These are chemicals that are commonly found in sweat. Shit is full of indoles. Urine has ketones in it if the person's burning off body fat.

Musk and civet smell absolutely awful undiluted, but when they are diluted they are pleasantly aromatic because they contain pheromones, which are chemicals that animals secrete that are sexually attractive. (Humans produce pheromones as well, particularly in sweat, which is why sometimes if you are into sex your significant other smells sexier when they've been sweating some. This is why we like these scents when they are diluted, particularly when flower and herb scents are layered on top of them.)

Musk is not BO--it's not the rank, acrid odour of someone who hasn't bathed in two weeks and is also not changing their underthings (a Tudor historian discovered that you do not get horrible BO if you don't bathe often as long as you change out your cotton or linen underthings frequently, as they absorb a lot of the nastiness, but you have to wear a full on undershirt for this to work)--but a person who has been having sex or exercising and hasn't bathed within a day or so might have a musky smell, and a lot of people like that if they're not thinking about it, whereas to be into the "no changes of underlinen or baths or two weeks" smell you have to have a fairly rare and pretty specific kink.

 

just for fun:

Some wacky perfumers at Etat Libre d'Orange specifically compounded a perfume that is supposed to smell like bodily fluids/sexual secretions. It is very controversial. I don't own it because that's really not My Thing, perfume wise, but this shit is amusing.

Nitpicky nitpick: Transformers toys are made by Hasbro, not Mattel. Not that Libby would know Hasbro from Adams housecat either.

 

Vic doesn't know the difference either, she's never been into giant robots :)

 

Personalli I am vety giddy that we have anothet unabashrf bitch in the rave. Too many nice peiple and Cronusrs for my tastes.

 

ive got an assortment of kankris too if youd prefer 20 of those

 

Id love it really. Good kannys are hard to come by you know

 

An assortment of Kankris just makes me imagine them all on a box like those assorted chocolates.

 

Parents, do not introduce Vic to your children.

 

Venture is a touchy little shit, and may also be misparsing what Itch said.

"You can keep saying you exist because you're designed to [exist/fulfill a purpose]" is a little different than "you can keep saying you exist because you're designed to [say that]", and the first is definitely hitting a sore spot for the guy who was literally built as part of a mass-produced military police run.

 

Libby has decided he objects to itchs entire existence and is gonna do something about it.

 

I wish I knew Paranoia Agent better, because god damn, Sala would not like Shonen Bat.

 

to be fair, it's pretty difficult to know paranoia agent. i'm only going off of the theories i ascribe to, because the true plot runs a lot deeper than most people understand

which is no surprise, bc the fandom is depressingly small given how exceptional paranoia agent is, it's incredibly underrated

 

(i'm shonen bat + makoto btw. i'm trying something different with these charaacters)

 

But are they fair trade chocolates? Are they cruelty free? Are you sure the sugar is vegan?

 

Of course. And they´re not even to good kind of vegan food, they´re the kind that tastes like ass.

Also don´t mind the robot cuddlepile on one end of the rave, just carry on.

 

You can tell Sala is serious because she used a comma. Or, well, you could tell, if it wasn't buried in Zalgo-text.

 

How are you doing that?

I have wanted to do that as triangles but. I don't know the trick.
