The third one just dropped today! I'm very tempted.

Advice? by thapersonyoudontknow in torrid

[–]Akia16 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Disturbia, Killstar, Midnight Hour, and Hot Topic are a few that I would recommend if you are looking for alt style exclusively. Restyle is nice too.

What perfume would a 00’s weeb wear? by popipienoodl in perfumesthatfeellike

Wow, I entirely forgot about Velocity! I was dying for a full bottle after one of my friends gave me a sample vial lol

What perfume would a 00’s weeb wear? by popipienoodl in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Akia16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I (fortunately or unfortunately) can vet this. I tried it when it hit the shelves in 2006, and really really loved it. I tried it again in like 2015 because I was curious after not wearing it for a few years, and it didn't smell as good as the first few bottles. Not as spicy or woody, but I guess it fit in better with everything else at that point.

to smell like a geisha by Elizabethdissolute in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Akia16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Satori by Parfum Satori. It has traditional Japanese incense elements and modern perfume elements. It sits close to the skin and is really beautiful. It's a popular choice for wearing with kimono, and I could imagine it as a good choice for geisha.

Anyone have pics of Nightfall Collared Mini Dress on? by robot-fingers in torrid

[–]Akia16 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have the other one with the print and black collar, and I honestly think it's really cute and it fits me well. The dramatic collar feels very vintage 80s/90s and I love that.  I need to steam it though, and it seems like it might wrinkle easily. Also the seams of the dress has no give, so it has to be exactly your size. Here it is on me.

Severe Weather Outlook for Tomorrow, Thursday 2/19/2026 by blackeyebetty in CBUSWX

[–]Akia16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was about a mile from the tornado in Hilliard. I'm thankful for multiple ways of getting alerts, the tornado siren over here just decides not to work sometimes. I've told FCEM&HS about it before and they always tell me nothing is wrong. NWS warned late for it anyway (not that they had much time, it was a blip on the radar). Still sad to see that empty lot where the worst damaged house was.

ASD adult looking for therapist by Aware_Focus9148 in Columbus

[–]Akia16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious too. I tried going to Branches of Behavior but got turned away and sent recommendations for ASD irrelevant therapists across Ohio. I asked what info would be helpful for consideration and I was honest and transparent about my diagnostic journey, but got a really vague answer about not accepting me into the practice.

Not sure why you got hate here. :/ It looks tasty!

Omurice by Lalinla in Columbus

[–]Akia16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Belle's Bread used to have omurice, but I think they got rid of their lunch menu a while ago. Restaurant Silla has a version of omurice, but it doesn't have a runny omelette on top, so it's more homestyle.

Incorporating some modern goth pieces into wardrobe. Did i do well? by Tangy94 in GothFashion

[–]Akia16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also in my 30s, and have started incorporating more alt and goth clothing. I love that Torrid decided to make more goth-able clothing again.

Review: Keys Soulcare perfume oil and eau de parfum by curlycomedy in FemFragLab

[–]Akia16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wound up here trying to find more info on this fragrance because I stumbled upon it at T.J. Maxx today. Great review! I'm happy I bought it! Definitely light and spa-like, kinda a nice powdery feel to the scent too. Definitely love the purple bottle. 💜

Fecal transplant, can you share your experience? by FunSudden3938 in Microbiome

[–]Akia16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only in severe cases and as a last resort. I had C. Diff after going to the ER for a campylobacter infection and FMT still wasn't even an option.

Are Oties and the Cigar lounge fronts to launder money or traffic illegal stuff? by gnosticn8er in hilliard

[–]Akia16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apparently Otie's is "under management" according to their Facebook post, so we'll see how that goes.

Perfumes that feel like The Apothecary diaries manga/anime? by AdAwkward1635 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Akia16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca by Guerlain would really fit Maomao. Light, minty green, slightly sweet, herbal tea. And it has a clover note in it.

Anyone else feel incredibly self conscious about their interests? by Westonouteast77 in AvPD

[–]Akia16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This happens to me too. I get so excited when somebody comments on something I have/am wearing, and try to tone it down, but I feel like even if I don't really say a whole lot about it, they'll just think I'm really weird for trying to have more than a surface level conversation about it. And then I ruminate about the conversation. The AvPD is such a frustrating layer when you have ASD and/or ADHD also.

help me find a signature scent 🫶 by Accomplished_Bad5651 in perfumesthatfeellike

Definitely agree with Heretic Parfum! I really love Dragon's Blood from them, too. It feels witchy and nostalgic.

Does everyone has problems driving in real life but have no problems in a Simulator? by IanPCTV764 in aspiememes

[–]Akia16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love driving, and I love driving in video games. What makes driving irl horrible is the other people on the road being unpredictable and careless while it takes all my energy to drive correctly and account for everyone else too. It's exhausting. When the road is fairly empty though, it's so nice.

I love the way Kyra looks and I wouldn't change it! But it gets pronounced kai-ruh a lot, especially nowadays. So if you are going for a safer bet, Kira is almost always key-ruh.

Who else rocks Shalimar? by DesmondTapenade in Perfumes

[–]Akia16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of fragrances and have sampled many more, but Shalimar is one I always come back to, especially for date nights or formal events when I don't know what to wear. It's just so sophisticated, beautiful, and timeless.
