Orphaned baby bats are often swaddled tightly like teeny burritos to mimic being cuddled by mom and help ease separation anxiety.
They also seem to find pacifiers soothing.
I’m pretty sure I’ve posted on this before, but there’s always someone who hasn’t heard about this before. Plus, I’ll happily take any excuse I can to post cute baby animal pics (especially when they’re wrapped like tiny furry burritos) :)
hi guys it’s me with a niche post about a topic i haven’t posted about on this blog because you definitely need more niche content from me. i know you have all been wondering - what perfumes would harrow the ninth characters wear? well wonder no more!
harrow- lol jk she doesn’t wear perfume. she does burn incense 24/7 and so smells like a church all the time, but it’s kind of nice. if you like church.
ianthe- Daisy by Marc Jacobs. i’m trying to make this user-friendly for people who don’t care about fragrance as an industry, so here’s the thing about daisy by marc jacobs: it smells fine. nice, even! but you all know a person who wears this scent. i say this with love in my heart, but this is the perfume your aunt gets you for your graduation when she hasn’t seen you in 5 yrs but wants you to know she’s proud of you. ianthe knows this and really leans into it, which is all part of her, ahem, charm. she is also one of those “spritz and walk through” people, except her spritz is about 10 pumps of perfume so her room stinks of daisy by marc jacobs like marc jacobs himself died there and is gently decomposing under her bed. on the bright side, it’s very easy to tell when someone has been snooping around her room because they inevitably spend the whole day smelling like - you guessed it. daisy by marc jacobs.
mercymorn- Alien by Thierry Mugler. “based the composition on three main lines: warm, white amber in the base, woodsy notes in the heart, and sunny Indian jasmine in the top.” the first time i smelled this fragrance i thought it was garbage. then a month later i picked up the sample again and realized that it’s genius. this fragrance is pretty divisive, and it comes in a bottle that looks like a crystalline heart ripped out of the chest of a jaeger. it looks pretty weird and alternative, but it’s much more mainstream than you realize. and it’s got a lot more depth and way less sweetness than you think.
augustine- Cedre Olympe by Giorgio Armani. look me in the eyes and tell me that augustine is not an armani bitch. the first contender was actually armani eau pour homme (classic, crisp - basically armani’s equivalent of chanel no 5). but then i thought: hold up. he’s a little sluttier than that. enter cedre olympe - “bitter orange, bergamot, lemon tree leaves, resins, solar accords and salty sea breeze, along with clear and powerful cedar and pine accords are combined in honour of Gods of the Olympus and were inspired by their strength, power and Aegean Sea coast.” whew boy. a pause to consider the implications of the obvious olympus relevance. another pause to consider that this scent is the opposite of alien by mugler, and the obvious mercymorn relevance of that. moving on.
god- Fire From Heaven by CB I Hate Perfume. “smoke perfume blended from classic ancient components: frankincense, myrrh, opopanax, cedar, sandalwood, styrax and labdanum. The perfume’s scent is subtle, just like a memory of smoke…” here’s the thing about fire from heaven, other than the absolute perfection of its name - it’s so weirdly good, and it’s kind of unsettling, and you don’t really get that it’s a perfume if you’re not smelling it straight from the bottle. cb i hate perfume is mostly hit or miss for me personally, but this baby makes the hint of something burning smell the way that fanfic describes it, instead of smoke from your father’s bbq. if alien and cedre olympe are on opposite sides of the scale, then fire from heaven isn’t on the scale at all. and it fits perfectly with either or both of the other two…
ortus the first - Ropes & Sails by West Third Brand. the description on fragrantica says it’s “grapefruit, citruses, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, sage, juniper, palisander rosewood, sandalwood and petitgrain” but you need to trust me when i say that this scent just smells like rope. i don’t know how they did it. maybe it’s just me. but it’s like. rope. but kinda sexy? you decide
bonus:gideon- one of those axe body sprays like temptation or anarchy, which should by all rights make her smell like an asshole (and it kind of does) but it mixes with her body chemistry in a way that’s just, like, irresistible. she smells amazing and you’re either blindly into it, or you recognize the axe and are furious with yourself for being into it. this is your life now
Ojne time I saw phoebe bridgers at the Supernatural concert she was so close I could have said hi but I’m not rude . Or gerard way. Thjsbsi my only claim to fame
