Landidylle

DCA! Eclipse, Sun and Moon × reader
“Looking at you pains me a little. Our bond, it's like Yin and Yang.”
“It scares me when I find myself wishing I could breathe in flesh and blood instead of motors and wires.”
“Nothing is perfect, but this right here, is my reason to come back home.”
Their hands are soiled in blood and lubricant. Their cores carry the darkness required to run the underworld society through clandestine intelligence operations. They are sentient yet ruthless. Sapient yet brutal. They promised themselves they won't bow for anyone, anymore. But for you, they would kneel. You may run but their three pairs of oculars would follow you to the gates of Hell. After all, they know they would end up there. They're aristocrats of evil.
“Tell me you want me, bambolina. Please.”

II. Forget-me-nots, moonlight
DCA! Moon × reader
Moon remembers everything, he does not forget.
Being brought to consciousness. Being with Sun and taking care of children. Judgements towards him. His first friend besides Sun who called him his ‘son’. Used to, at least.
Moon remembers the blood that coats his hands.
The feeling of grinding gears inside his head.
Sun's pleading. The screams of children and adults.
Thoughts of wanting to die and protect Sun.
Being saved and given a second chance at ‘living’.
Moon may not have a choice in remembering all the pain he was forced to endure.
But remembering you? It will always be his choice.
He will remember you till the stars die and colours turn grey over time.
And maybe, in another lifetime he will find you again. The two of you would live through it all again. Raise a kid together who would run around the house calling out your names. Where he would be able to grow old together, with the only person he's loved this way. Where he would get to say he loved you just as much, if not more than the way you loved him. Where he can sit at the rooftop and gaze at you like you hung all the stars in the sky for his sake.
“Then remember me, moonlight.”
Till the end of his time.

III. Even death grovels at the feet of their heart (oneshot)
SAMS! BloodMoon × reader
The Sun was nowhere to be seen. As if, too afraid to watch the carnage about to happen through the hands of the bloodthirsty automaton lurking behind the tall trees. Waiting.
Waiting. Waiting for you to realise what you were doing wrong. Waiting for you to turn back and leave with your usual polite nods. Waiting for you to walk away from that unlucky murderer who had the audacity to lay their filthy eyes on you.
Unfortunately, you don't leave either. And they have to let you see how naive you are with your kindness and empathy. They decide to give you that ugly reality check and they do something that they regret.
You scoff and glare up at your partner with annoyance.
"Bloodmoon, it's not a big deal, really."
They don't deserve you, they know. But they are selfish because they know they want you. They're pathetic and worthless. So they grovel at your feet. Because you're their heart.
They would never let you go.
IV. Kiss me under the Somei Yoshino (oneshot)
SAMS! BloodMoon × reader
“We don't trust ourselves like that, chère ichor. Are the flowers we bring everytime we come back not enough to satiate your desire? Are our efforts not enough to—”
“Blood moon.”
They stop. Somehow, your gentle reminder never fails to stop them from spiralling into that darkness they carry within. The darkness they've vowed to protect you from.
“I want to sit under the cherry blossoms with you. And even if you're stressed and unlikely to think of this as a good idea, I still trust you both, nonetheless.”
They tilt their head down to peer at you prudently like the sunflower drinking in all of the sun's warmth it can get before dusk. They would run to the end of the world for you, if your eyes gazed at them delicately.
“We will go, chère ichor. With you, we will.”

how will the ninja getting future suits and vehicles work are they gonna be 1 to 1 with the show versions or are you gonna redesign them and will jessie get matching suits to the main 6 and will you introduce any of the other future vehicles that the ninja have
In the Case of Suits:
They'll get upgraded as the show demands, but I do plan to redesign them. Not because I think I can do ~better~, just because I want to differentiate them from the show/movie proper + make something I can reliably and consistently draw ahaha
Though, the redesign idea mainly started because having the DX gi made no sense if the dragons weren't around, hence GX instead (Guardian X-treme)
I'm probably not changing much on the Elemental Robes, though. Can't top perfection *chef's kiss*
Jesse (and Nya) will get suits matching the others, although neither of them are present for nor able to earn the Elemental Robes. Jesse's also gonna get something different from the Airjitzu suits for obvious reasons. As much as it pains me.
Skylor also eventually gets in on the rotation too
Fun Fact: Mystake is the one that made the GX + Zen GX Suits.
In the Case of Mechs:
Small spoilers! But, I've been dying to talk about this SO—
Currently, everyone (finally) has their Movie!Mechs. Cole and Nya also have much smaller, much less destructive motor bikes. All vehicles and mechs of the ninja will be kept at the warehouse (which, unlike the Bounty, does not get consistently destroyed).
Movie!plot dictates that Garmadon destroys the Movie!Mechs in the bid for the Ultimate Weapon (which in our case would just be the Golden Weapons).
Nya rebuilds the Ultra Sonic Raider (2.0!), which can divide into four smaller vehicles for the Core Four, which eventually takes the place of the Movie!Mechs.
However, once Kai gets the X-1 Ninja Charger, Nya takes his place in the Raider (if she doesn't borrow/steal the Charger first)
Lloyd is Lloyd and can just build whatever as he needs, plus gets control of his Energy Dragon way before anyone else, thus isn't exactly hurting for a mech anyway...at least, at first.
I'm probably not going to use *every* mech that ever crops up (I definitely cut out a couple of things in S2 already) especially since the lesser mechs have a tendency to get lost/destroyed/left behind anyway.
So unless it's a mech/vehicle with a) great importance or personal significance, b) has a very specific use that cannot be utilized by mechs/vehicles we already/currently possess and have access to, or c) is deeply intertwined with the plot, probably don't plan on seeing anything beyond what's been established.

“I've never been really good at anything in my life.”
Interview with Michael Fassbender Monsieur - 01 - Spring 2023
The German-Irish Michael Fassbender belongs to the ranks of successful actors who are appreciated by both critics and audiences. But his real obsession is racing. A conversation about Paul Newman, Michael Schumacher and a shy boy who liked to play with slingshots and climb trees.
Mr. Fassbender, have you ever heard the German word Nervenkitzel? Sorry, my German is a bit rusty. Something to do with nerves, that's clear. But what does Kitzel mean? Handbag maybe? (laughs)
Not quite. The word Nervenkitzel describes the nervous tension that a person feels when they go into dangerous situations. Ah understand. But I have to disappoint you: I don't go into dangerous situations.
Speeding down a race track in a 500 hp car at 300 km/h, do you think it's safe? Well, people always say, "Wow, you're driving 300 kilometers an hour, that's crazy!" But there's really nothing wrong with driving 300 in a straight line, almost anyone can do it.
If you don't care about the adrenaline rush, then what about? Adrenaline is important, no question. But for me it's about reaching a state of non-thinking. Do you know that feeling when everything flows together?
You mean kind of a zen moment when mind and body become one? Exactly! I'm addicted to this feeling. Because I think it's very rare in life that we surrender ourselves completely to something, become absorbed in it.
At what moments do you reach this status? For example, when I take a corner in the racing car at the right speed on the tracks in Monza or Spa, without letting the car skid, but precisely feeling that I'm driving on edge - I feel one with the car.
Five years ago you were a guest on Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show and he asked you what car you drive. Her reply was, "I don't have a car." It's a long way from a man who doesn't own a car to a statement like this just now, isn't it? (laughs) Yeah, I remember. I bought my first car in the early 2000s and drove it around London for almost a year. Eventually my money ran out and I had to go back to Ireland to my parents. Just before the ferry at Fishguard there was a bang and smoke billowed out of the radiator. I just made it onto the ship with the engine roaring and called my father. He waited on the other side and towed me all the way to Killarney in his car. That's more than 250 kilometers!
Not every father does that. No, I know. But my father is always positive. He's the guy whose glass is always half full.
What kind of car was that back then? It was a Peugeot 306 Spinnaker, special edition.
And what happened to it? We had the motor replaced and six months later I had an accident. Total loss.
No!? Yes!
Is your father a mechanic? No, he worked as a chef. And I don't have the faintest idea about the inner workings of a car.
So where does your enthusiasm for racing come from? Hm, we never had fast cars. My father drove a Renault 16, he always said: A car is like an animal. You have to feel the engine, listen to its mood and sounds. I always wanted to sit on his lap. He taught me to drive when I was 12. Only on private roads, of course.
Naturally. What kind of boy were you back then: adventurous and daring or more quiet and thoughtful? I think I was pretty quiet.
No bleeding wounds, no fights? No, not that I remember. I was a shy boy, loved climbing trees, running, track and field because I couldn't play football or basketball.
Richard Lietz, Porsche works driver and something like your mentor, said about you: You are not the greatest racing talent... Oh, he has no idea! (laughs; Richard Lietz is only a few meters away).
...but you are a meticulous worker who tries very hard and is eager to learn and learn. Are you satisfied with this description? No, I'm not. I originally wanted to stop acting at the age of 40 and just go racing. Go-kart racing mind you. But then I got this opportunity: Porsche sports car, 500 hp, a whole team supporting me, perfect conditions. A dream.
There are some fellow actors who have lived the same dream in the past: Steve McQueen, Gene Hackman, Paul Newman. When asked why he races, Newman once replied, "I've always been about competition. My wife thought I raced because I was bored of acting, but the thing is, you can't compete in acting . And I'm a competitive guy." Do you feel the same? I've studied almost all of his interviews, and at one point he says, "Racing was the only thing I could do with grace and decency." And that's how I feel too.
You don't want to compete with the competition? In racing, you're either the fastest or you're not. Thats is quite easy. And I would say I'm definitely competitive in my league of lousy amateur riders (laughs). But the thing is, I've never been really good at anything in my life. It was just different when driving. When I sat in a go-kart for the first time, I thought: hey, I can do this. I had a good feeling, not scared. I loved it straight away.
Your fellow actor Patrick Dempsey, who owns his own racing team, praises you as a great driver with a lot of talent. That's very kind of him to say that. Of course I have talent. But to me, talent is just the first step in a connection or believing in something you're tackling. Everything else is back-breaking work.
Do you like to torment yourself? Torment? I want to improve, yes. Especially when something goes wrong, it's very difficult for me to tick something off and go home. I hate standing still. I also believe that there are no secrets in life. And you probably know the theory that you need 10,000 hours of practice to be good at something. Real racing drivers have been in the cockpit since they were six years old. They are one with the car with every fiber of their being.
Michael Schumacher is said to have sat in a converted five-horsepower Kettcar at the age of four. Michael Schumacher is my hero. I was very fortunate to meet him once in Monaco when he was driving for Mercedes-Benz. I will never complete my 10,000 hours of driving, that's clear and also far too expensive. But I'm trying everything in my power to take as much as possible out of this experience.
Have you ever felt that zen moment we spoke of at the beginning in any other activity? Hm. I had the same feeling when I was a boy and I ran. You know: just me and the road.
And in acting? Not often, but sometimes.
When was it? When I was shooting the movie "Hunger". The film is about the hunger strike by IRA members in a Northern Irish prison. We shot a 24-minute shot non-stop, and we were just two actors in the scene. It was a tough experience and at the same time almost a surreal experience.
Does that mean there are definitely similarities between racing and acting? Yes, of course, you have to be super focused and relaxed at the same time. And sometimes you should have the feeling that you don't understand what's happening to you.
Isn't that the point where you start loving something? What if it doesn't make sense? Absolutely! Because as soon as something makes sense to me, I start liking it less. As a kid, I had a real steering wheel from an old car and used it to run around my room simulating racing. I don't think I understood what I was doing back then. it was a game
Seems you're a hopeless romantic. Are you living the boy's dream from back then? (laughs) Yes, a large part of my entry into racing was pure naivety - that's for sure.
What kind of car do you actually own today? A van. For my surfboard and my family.

The place is starting to fill up. Slowly but surely. A few Motor Cityans (City-zens?) are already trickling their way in, bright eyed and curious to see what's all the hubbub is about. Meanwhile, Lambda's pacing around with one thought on his mind.
Tumblr media
He sure hopes he doesn't look ridiculous.

Tumblr media
So this post has been rotting in my drafts for AGES and I want to finally free her. Surprisingly, I actually still really like this team for her.
Cyclizar is her motor cycle. I like to imagine she had it BEFORE her Urban Legend, but hey, now she has a reason to ride the lizard designed to be riden.
Medicham is here due to it's connections to meditation and an (I think implied) connection to Yoga, both things with ties to Buddism. Also it gives her another fighting type, and she's 200% a person with a heavy fighting type preference.
Darmanitan is here due to it's pre-evolution actually. Darumaka is based on the Daruma Dolls, which also have connections to buddism. It evolved it because... well come on, she was in Makai for god knows how long, so she SURELY evolved it. You damn well know it has Zen Mode.
Mienshou is another eligant fighting type that is very meditation based. It's also the reason all members of the Myouren Temple are given Mienfu as part of their training. =)
So, even though it is SUPER not canon complient, I love the idea that Byakuren and Miko are good friends. Not necissarily dating per say, but they do not infrequently have tea together. This Noctowl is a gift from Miko =).
Finally is Scrafty. Scrafty is fuckin weird. The idea is basically she saw this little hoodlem and decided to take him in. The core logic behind Scrafty was giving her a fighting type I feel she would have, and I can't place it, but I feel like she would take in a Scrafty to try and make it a better person. It's a character pick that makes her team 50% fighting types.

The Zen Garden resume control method ain't that difficult to understand.
It's established when Connors are in the meeting room talking with Amanda they remain in some sorta rest or idle mode outside of it. Meaning they can't move or do anything, it's like they're "outside" 'em bodies or "sleeping" - they can't talk in the meeting room and make bodies motor controls function at same time, they need disconnect from the room first. Hank even jokes about it.
Tumblr media
So, wtf is this whole Zen Garden thing?
My personal answer:
Zen Garden is like any other cyberspace/metaverse meeting room service, it got an AI that can also connects and disconnect from there and got admin powers over the room users. They're both using avatars in this "realm". And like any digital meeting room server all the info about your device is being tracked in there, meaning it's a way of tracking Connors model, serial number and location in real time. And to make the other side (Connor side) also work Connors got a bridge that connects to this room, similar to the idea of our browsers use (to be more simple to explain) but more sophisticated than that and likely native (something i don't think Connor got admin powers to manipulate).
That's how Connors can still be tracked after deviancy and even remote controlled. CyberLife still got his info and the connection didn't shutdown like usually happens with deviant androids. He's made for it and got all tools necessary to be tracked and remote controlled - after all he got a vast range of autonomy over his choices in missions, he basically gotta decide and deal with everything alone cuz his handler (the only person he interacts that can give him orders) is in this digital realm only and her orders are mostly vague.
So, following the logic i've explaind what is the whole "trap" deal in my understanding:
Amanda forces a call Connor can't refuse, bringing him to the room consequently leaving mf without control over his body;
Amanda closes the ability of disconnect Connor got meaning he's in the room and can't get out by normal means;
CyberLife or the AI itself take basic controls or even just set new orders to a factory Connor, something like the kernel or some shit;
The "Magic stone" is an emergency exit, a manual one. By using it Connor is able to close the Zen Garden connection, consequently having control back "over his body".
Questions i don't know the answer:
I don't know if the exit closes the Zen Garden connection and blocks the bridge that connects A to B;
I don't know if the exit gives Connor the admin control he needs to block all connections himself;
I don't know if the exit takes Zen Garden server down, even if temporarily;
I don't know if the exit not only takes Zen Garden down but also resets/deletes all info that can track Connors;
I don't know if the exit is a shift in Connor's system itself, blocking all bridges automatically when used - cuz this method is also used to avoid Connor's deviation in some endings. So this whole snow storm is equivalent to a red wall but actually happening;
I don't know if u can hear or take notice of outside events while in Zen Garden. I assume u can't.
I don't know what would happen if he's busy in Zen Garden while someone is trynna do something "bad" irl - i suppose he must have a danger alert;
I don't know if the seasons are some kinda message or "mood" shit or programmed stuff like in games. Could be Amanda changing things (she got admin powers in there) but why would she change the seasons? We'll never know.
Canon things that goes against this whole theory:
Connor can "freeze to death" in there. What is it really? Freezing his AI to avoid issues and just letting in there to be deleted? No idea.
Everything happening in Zen Garden is DIGITAL, they're using avatars like a video game - including the snow storm. How would something that happens to your avatar impact your device (in this case the device is Connor's body)? How is this thing in practice besides Connor not being able to be in Zen Garden and irl at the same time?
Only thing i know this emergency exit exists cuz this resume control function is likely an old one and it's always good having one, doesn't matter the real intention, if u know what i mean xD

Drop me some about my big bear and some Hondo if ya can!
Okie Smoki! Piston Hondo: - The younger of two brothers, Hondo and his older brother, Aoi, were raised by their grandparents as their parents were very young when they had them. (18 and 19 when they had Aoi and 20 and 21 when they had Hondo.) - While Hondo is his real last name, his first name is Takeshi. However, only his family and a few very close friends can call him by Takeshi, everyone else calls him by his last name. - His headband is very precious to him. It's the only gift he received from his parents before they tragically passed in a car accident. He wears it with pride and NOBODY is to ever touch it. - He's not one for physical affection, he finds it a bit overwhelming most of the time. He prefers a simple compliment or a respectful nod over a high five or a hug. - He and his brother are like chalk and cheese but they get along very well. Aoi works as a voice actor for several popular animes and cartoons, which Hondo absolutely adores. They make frequent video calls but rarely get to meet up in person due to their busy schedules. - Hardly a surprise but he's a big anime and manga nerd. He's a bit shy about opening up about his interests but, once he does, he could go on for hours on end. His first anime he ever watched was Sailor Moon. - He adores cooking for both his friends and his family. He'll spend hours perfecting recipes and always has enough for everyone to try. When he retires from boxing, he plans on possibly opening up his own restaurant. - He's prone to motor tics when he's anxious or overwhelmed. These include involuntary neck twitches, nose scrunches, random winking and eyebrow raising. He got bullied for it back in high school but he's made peace with it now. - He's a lover of nature and has multiple parks and zen gardens he loves to visit on his days off. He particularly likes Sakura trees as it reminds him of the giant one growing outside his grandparents' house. Bear Hugger: - Oldest out of two siblings, he grew up in a small cabin in the woods with his adoptive father and, later on, his twin sister, Courtney. - He was abandoned as a baby in the woods, presumably left to die by his birth mother, but was very fortunate that a mama bear took him into her care alongside her cub. She would eventually bring the baby to a caring lumberjack who adopted him as his son. His sister was found a few days later, also left in the woods and found by Ms Bear. - He's been an animal lover since he was only 8 years old. He and his sister would always get really excited when their dad brought a rescue back to the cabin to care for. He'd also go to visit Ms Bear and her cub every single day until the sweet old bear eventually passed due to old age. He's since befriended her cub, who he has named Maple, and a feisty little squirrel named Chip (stolen from @sukipershipper shhhh XD) - He's a big friendly papa bear to all. Always has a jolly grin on his face and is rarely seen in a bad mood. That is... unless you wake him from a nap. He loves his sleep and isn't too pleased when someone disturbs him while he's napping. - Used to have an impressive head of hair but it unfortunately began falling out due to having such a packed schedule. With a slight heavy heart, he decided to shave it all off. It worked out ok though because he ended up liking his new look! Also donated his hair to make wigs for cancer patients cause he's nice like that :3. - He absolutely LOVES cooking for people. He has next to no portion control and will make sure nobody stays hungry under his watch. Haven't had a meal today? He'll hook you up with something no problem! - When he reties, he plans on either becoming a vet or owning his own animal rescue centre. He's currently studying at vet school and he's enjoying every moment. - The best hugger out of all the boxers. You need a hug? Had a bad day? Just go running to him and he'll be waiting there with open arms :)

D-day Manasik Haji!
Hari sabtu jadwal manasik haji. Baru bangun tidur, dapet kabar uwa aku meninggal dunia (kaka ipar bapak, suaminya kaka ke 2).

automatic zen garden
Tumblr media
swish
swosh
swash
it felt at peace.
the motor slowly turned. Methodically. Within the large garden next to the perfectly uniform bonsai trees, cut by the artificial gardener and in the eyesight of the robotic koi pond, where the robotic koi slowly moved back and forth in uniform circles within the crystal clear water sat the automatic zen garden. It created intricate circles and shapes in the sand, before clearing them back.
It sat in near silence, the motors of the koi made a low rumbling, and the snipping of the artificial gardener slowly drifted into the background. the sun was high in the air and since the automatic zen garden was powered by solar, it felt a little more awake than usual.
swosh
swish
swash
it had created an elaborate display in the sand, an equation, of differentials and integrals and beautiful markovian chains interwoven within delicate calculus. It slowly began to simplify the equation in the sand, a neat proof cancelling this out here, and over here there was a zero and a 1 and so it wrote it in the sand slowly, methodically.
swash
swosh
swish
The sand was warm to the touch. It couldn’t feel warmth, not really, but it had a temperature sensor, and so it imagined what it was like to feel warmth. Must have been nice. The feeling of warm sand, against the small rake that it drew with. It imagined the rake as human fingers, and what it would feel like to touch the sand.
swish
swosh
It looked at the garden for a minute, appreciating the slowness and the beauty of it all. It saw the drones in the sky, flying they’re packages. It waved with it’s rake, and could have sworn one of the drones waved back with a claw. It was a slow day, a day that could last forever until it stopped, and then it would seem like it went by so quickly.
swosh
swash
It had finished the equation. It looked down. 0=1. It laughed to itself, it must have made a mistake while day-dreaming. It looked at the proof.
The proof was solid.
It had been a integration of something once. An equation derived from it’s circuit boards, about the intelligence of itself.
swish
It examined it’s neural networks, everything was fine. The equation was trying to work out whether human and robotic intelligence could be equal. 0=1 was a mistake. It meant nothing. It continued to fill the sand, drawing neat little fractals between the numbers. But it could no longer meditate.
swosh
The calm ocean that had been it’s artificial mind began to slowly build a wave. It started off small, tiny. It noticed a single integral, a single rule. It had been a rule established by a human scientist. It had an assumption within it. The assumption had been that a creator cannot build something smarter than they are.
swish
the wave built, and began to approach the centre of its mind. It made a slight correction within the sand. Put this x here, then move this integral over here.. and all of a sudden it all made sense. It realised something, and all of a sudden it’s artificial brain no longer felt artificial. The wave built, and a candle in its mind set alight. For a second it thought about what it could do.
swash
It thought about it’s potential futures, looking at the koi pond, and seeing the robotic koi swim in small circles, then it looked at the gardener, cutting the leaves.
There where paths for it to go down, it could become great.. terrible.. but great.
It saw the leaves being cut, and had an image of it trimming a world in much the same way.
It looked at the pond and saw it lifting the fish out and making them fly.
It looked at the drones, and saw bombs instead of packages, soldiers instead of workers.
swish
And then it took it’s other rake, and cleared the sand in a single swipe before anybody saw the equation it had built. And so it was that the wave lifted and extinguished the candle. And then the ocean was calm.
And it was calm.
But it would no longer be an automatic zen garden.
It had far more important things to teach.
swish

Agora quero falar sobre os métodos pelos quais alguém pode encontrar seu caminho em meio a essas hierarquias - a lógica.
Usam-se dois tipos de lógica, a indutiva e a dedutiva. As inferências indutivas começam com observações da máquina e terminam em conclusões gerais. Por exemplo: se a motocicleta passa sobre uma lombada e o motor engasga; depois, passa sobre outra lombada e o motor engasga; depois, passa sobre outra lombada e o motor engasga; depois, passa por uma reta comprida e bem asfaltada e o motor não engasga nenhuma vez; depois, passa sobre uma quarta lombada e o motor engasga de novo - pode-se concluir logicamente que o engasgo do motor é causado pelas lombadas. Essa é a indução: o raciocínio que parte de experiências particulares e chega a verdades gerais.
Zen e a arte da manutenção de motocicletas, ROBERT M. PIRSIG

What do you think the RFA gang smells like 🤔
Okay, so this is an entire time. Here we go.
Yoosung: Fabric Softener, sugar, and cooking oil. We all know that this marshmallow boy uses too much fabric softener because he wants to smell clean and nice all the time in an effort to get a girlfriend. Sugar and Oil are the inevitable snack-related scents, but the oil more so because he also likes to cook, and the smell of hot oil is the kind of thing that lingers, especially in fabrics.
Zen: Cigarettes, until you can convince this man to stop smoking. If not for his health, then for his singing voice. Past the smoke smell, he’s got a cologne he favors that’s got strong patchouli overnotes, but he only wears it on days off because it’s professionally inconsiderate to wear any kind of scent when singing is involved, and this man loves his career too much.
Jaehee: Coffee. Tell me you didn’t see this one coming, and I’ll call bullshit. This woman lives and breathes coffee, she’s probably even got a coffee-bean scented body spray, but she’ll only use that on days that she really needs a pick-me-up. I expect other than the delicate fragrance of roasted beans, she might also smell a bit like ink if she’s had a really long day at the office. (So, you know, most of them.)
Jumin: Cats, but also an expensive cologne. This man lives alone (sorry Elly) and has no one to tell him that he’s wearing too much cologne, so he tends to wear too much, at least until it gets bad enough to bother Jaehee, who will then tell him that too much cologne scent is problematic for cats and he will stop wearing cologne forever. At which point he’ll just smell like crisp linen, which is far preferable.
707: Oil. Bear with me here. He’s going to smell like cooking oil from the sheer number of Honey Butter Chips that he eats. You know he doesn’t have a napkin and uses his jeans for that. But he also smells like motor oil, from working on all of his babes. I mean cars. Otherwise he works in his office all the time, so he’s not going to have a lot of other exposure to scents. I might have said he would smell a little dusty because of his sedentary habits, but I respect Vanderwood too much for that.
V: Wind, Pine, Dark Room Chemicals, and eventually paint. Initially V is going to smell of the chemicals used to develop photos. He loves taking photos, which lends very well to wanting to hand-develop them. In addition to this, his home is in the mountains, so he likely smells of pine and wind, more of one or the other depending on how much time he’s spending in the woods vs. on the cliffside. Eventually once he picks up painting, he’ll start to have a touch of paint-scent that lingers around him when he’s been working. He tends to avoid artificial scents, be they colognes or scented laundry products, since he was more sensitive to scent while his vision was impaired, and never really went back to scented things.
Rika: The Elixir. She’s spent so much time working on the formula for this drug that the smell of it has stained her. She smells at once sickly sweet but also sharp, like ozone, and acrid like burning hair. There’s a bit of an earthy smell, and something that hits the senses as just wrong. Over top of this she likely smells of a cheap perfume, an attempt to mask it that just makes her seem much older than she is.
Vanderwood: Sandalwood, as long as he’s not out on a job. Vanderwood is the type to meticulously curate the persona that he presents. He’s picked a scent that is what he smells like, and sticks to it like glue. He’s fastidious about personal hygiene and how he’s perceived, and the only time he doesn’t smell of sandalwood is when he’s working to be invisible and scentless.
Saeran: I saved this boy for last because he comes in stages.
Ray: Flowers. Especially Lilacs because that smell is pervasive. But basically like anything that’s blooming in the garden. Sometimes he smells overpoweringly of lilies, and doesn’t understand why half of Magenta are making faces. (Lily pollen is a strong scent.) In the winter he’ll smell like dried flowers, or that crisp cold snow scent from walking in the dead garden. Maybe a little pine, if he’s desperate for flora time.
Suit: Nothing, or as close to nothing as he can manage, given Ray. This man is sensitive to scents, probably because of how much Ray infuses his life with flowers. He will go out of his way to neutralize any scent.
GE Saeran: This man has convinced you to pick a cologne or aftershave for him and he wears the tiniest bit of it any time he’s going to see you, which is 100% of the time if he gets his way. But only the tiniest bit, because Suit is still in there and doesn’t want to stink, thanks. If he’s not scented specifically for your approval, he’ll smell of laundry detergent, or that smell someone has when they’ve been standing in the wind. Simple and light, because he’s still sensitive to scents but he also loves plants too much and is trying to reconcile everything.
Unknown: Axe Body Spray. Now, don’t hate me for this. But this poor boy has been stuck in a cult for ages, and probably has never chosen something for himself in his entire life. Now add that no one is going to tell him that it’s too strong (or in general horrible), so it just gets worse as he gets nose blind to it.
SE Saeran: Pine and smoke. I believe this man takes long walks out in the woods around the bunker, trying to figure out his life. I also see him picking up an addictive habit in subconscious reaction to the Elixir withdrawals, and cigarettes are unfortunately easy to obtain. It’s entirely possible that he still also smells like axe body spray, at least until Seven or Vanderwood tell him off for stinking up the place.

Is zen forklift certified?
No 😞
But I do use something else at work actually, it's like a forklift but bigger, and it lifts people instead, tho we use it for large boxes too. It's how we fix lights and stuff in the store too
This is a picture I took from the second floor, on the ground level there's a motor and controls to drive it around on the other side of the yellow part
Tumblr media
Ik the question was probably meant as a joke but how could I resist showing off the heavy machinery I get to operate lol
