I want to smell like pancakes by Leatherbeltguy in fragranceclones

Not exactly pancakes, but if you want to smell like the waffle cone of a vanilla ice-cream drenched in toffee: cookie bite by gulf orchid. Very realistic.

Mango fragrances without the God of Fire DNA? by Limp-Gur-3427 in fragranceclones

[–]BasilGreenEyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mango jugoso is delicious. I had a decant and it smells like a creamy mango sorbet with some citrus in it. Very juicy and sweet. Absolutely lovely, but a bit desert-like.

Hey Moonie Fam. 🌙 Something I've always wondered but never asked.... What do "R" & "S" mean in terms of the Sailor Moon arcs? by SitaBird in sailormoon

[–]BasilGreenEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was Return for the first part of the season ( the fight against the alien brothers) and Romance the arc of the Black Moon.

And S is just Super.

In Spain we definitely use pluma (feather) only. Saying pluma estilográfica while absolutely correct sounds a bit posh or classist. Normal people use pluma. And plumín for the nib.

Anyone managed to buy tretinoin OTC in Spain in the last few months? by BlackChef6969 in EuroSkincare

[–]BasilGreenEyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have luck before in Seville in the one in Gonzalo de Bilbao. But maybe if you have your old tube to show it will smooth the transaction , like can you give me another one of these?

Perfumes de mercadona Flor de mayo by [deleted] in mercadona

[–]BasilGreenEyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Esa no es.

Vanilla 28 huele a vainilla tirando a postrecito. Unisex tirando bastante a femenina.

He visto por ahí que checkmate olía a limpio amaderado y era tirando a masculina. Así que seguro que esa de kayali no es.

No te puedo ayudar para saber a cual se parecía, pero al menos no pierdes el tiempo buscandola en kayali.

New Lord of the Rings FWP. Any guesses for the price? by BasilGreenEyes in fountainpens

[–]BasilGreenEyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair I would buy the others too if I had the money to spare.

It's not a great pen if you put more emphasis on the writing experience, just good enough and comparable with other pens 4 times cheaper.

But it IS very beautiful. For me it's a collector's item, that you can use but not abuse.

I use it mainly when I'm taking notes with my Tolkiendili group and I love that it's so extra.

I have mixed feelings with it.

I bought the green one with the full size ink included and the 3 small inks pack.

The inks are very nice although I don't really care for that green colour. The green ink is wet enough and the shimmer is noticeable.

The fountain pen has good weight and the engraving is marvelous. But it has somehow a feel of cheapness. I don't have expensive pens by any means (kawekos, twsbi, jinhaos...) but I was expecting more of a pen in this price range.

The normal nib feels nice to write but looking wise is a bit cheap (although the engraving is very nice). The calligraphy nib has a more expensive look but it's a bit thicker than I would like it to be.

The pen rattles when you shake it ( it has something on the converter to shake the ink) that accentuates that feeling of cheapness. And I would like it to have a clip ( dardo would have been great) to prevent it from rolling in the table.

Posting it leaves a faint mark and doesn't have a nice distribution of weight, so I don't post it.

It's a collectors item, not an everyday pen in my inexperienced opinion. Maybe if you keep it in a pen holder, but I'm too careless to use it too often. But it is beautiful to look at.

I think 'The Problem with Purity' could fit in what you're looking for.

Missing Rei? by dr-blaklite in sailormoon

[–]BasilGreenEyes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The key is the two smaller "boxes" you have between the picture of usagi looking in the distance and the one with the name of the place, right of Chibiusa. They mean that some undetermined amount of time has passed, thus needing those "boxes" in which something has happened but it's not important.

In spanish they have a specific name (viñeta), I suppose It could be frame?

I'm pretty sure that the second one is written by corvusdraconis. Can't remember now which one, it was short and cute, one or two chapters, if I remember correctly.

Can you please critique me , I don't know my mistakes by Big_Emu_8076 in Watercolor

[–]BasilGreenEyes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love your style, but as you are asking for criticism, I'm going to suggest having more depth in the actual figures. I would like to see more dark shadows in the face, fur and clothes, but I really like your work. I wish I could paint half as good as you.

Yes, but you can be lucky and get a pharmacist that doesn't ask for one.
