The Scions and their signature scents

Estinien: coffee, cardamom, smoke

Strong coffee for early mornings and late nights flavored with cardamom as a favorite picked up from his time in Radz-at-Han. Intertwined with the faint smell of woodsmoke which clings to him constantly.

Alphinaud: clove, cinnamon, cream

Warm, comforting scents that parallel Estinien’s, though mostly by accident. Clove and cinnamon invite others to stay close beside him. (Not to mention that Arenvald has a great love for cinnamon sweets.) Their warmth and spice is balanced out by a base of vanilla cream.

Alisaie: raspberry, amber, vanilla

Sweet raspberry with the deeper scents of amber and vanilla — a perfect balance for Alisaie’s compassion in combination with her fierce determination and courage. She had her perfume mixed specifically for her and is quietly proud of it, but she will never admit it.

Y’shtola: lavender, cedar, ash

The sophisticated and calming scent of lavender combined with cedar wood, also incredibly practical as it protects her clothing and possessions (including any precious tomes) from months and insects. Underneath this is the barely perceptible smell of ash which follows the Avatar of Destruction wherever she goes.

Thancred: gun oil, sandalwood, whiskey

Sandalwood from his clothes and soap form the base of his scent. The first bar of artisan soap was a gift from Minfilia, flung at his head along with a pointed complaint about smelling like a bar room floor. He still buys bars of it from the same vendor in Ul’dah. Gun oil from his hands and whiskey from his breath mingle together as he works late into the night.

Urianger: lilac, parchment, black tea

Bright, cheerful lilac reminds the other Scions of Il Mheg with some concern, but it delights Urianger. He applies it to his neck and wrists every morning like a ritual. The scent compliments an undertone created by the books and tea that Urianger is never far from.

G’raha Tia: bergamot, orange, salt

Bergamot tea and orange sweets from his latest three-day studying session. (He would have forgotten to eat altogether, but Krile and Tataru intervened.) These sweet top notes overlay the sea salt scent which is the Crystal Tower’s magic. During his time as the Crystal Exarch, he did his best to cover the salt smell with jasmine perfume that made Lyna sneeze.

sweetheart it's 3am and I'm posting Halsin covered in honey please save me

I saw somebody be wrong on the internet and I didn’t respond (don’t want to get involved) and I’m being SO brave about it

I should never have made this post because now every time it gets a new note I’m reminded of how wrong that one person on the internet was.

Reblog to remind op how wrong that one person on the internet was

Why are you all like this

Just saw somebody misinterpreting something in obvious bad faith it is NOT productive to correct them I am being so brave I AM BEING SO FUCKING BRAVE

chekov’s cat: if you see a cat, it will probably be relevant later.

schroedinger’s gun: there’s no way to know if a gun is loaded or not until you physically inspect and check it yourself, so it’s safest to assume all guns are loaded.

#these are both excellent rules to live by#like#just in general
