✨ New Era. New Energy. A Love Letter to the Fandom ✨

Hey Soul Fam,

As we enter a new chapter, I’ve been reflecting on what makes this space truly magical—and the answer keeps coming back to you. The voices, the dreams, the resilience. The late-night headcanons. The whispered prayers. The laughter, the analysis, the heartbreak, and hope.

So I'm starting something new. 💌 Every two weeks, I’ll be featuring one of you—a story, a moment, a memory. Whether it's your journey with CE, how the fandom carried you through a tough time, or just what being part of this cosmic little corner means to you... I want to hear it. We need to hear it.

🌍 Because this fandom is not a monolith. We come from different cultures, ages, paths—but here, we find a shared heartbeat. A spark. A sense of belonging.

So if you're reading this—yes, you—I invite you to share your truth. Slide into the inbox, remain anonymous or loud and proud. Your voice matters. Your light matters.

📥 DM/Submissions open now. Let's illuminate this space with you.

And it’s the same fandom so your brain’s just like, seamlessly bopping around from platonic to porn to preschooler and it’s like doing burpees for your synapses.

Of course! I hope this is all going to be transparent and honest (on both sides).

Having said that, I hope they’ll be able to help out lots of fans. 🩵

Perhaps you’ve been thinking about how each incense works in Pokemon. Maybe you’ve been thinking about how one could make similar scents work in a similar way. Here’s a list of each incense and what I think their scent in the real world would be.

Pokemon Go Incense: Too broad, though may be based on the idea in general; any scent could thus work, theoretically.

Full Incense: Unsure, though considering the bloated effect, perhaps seasonal and other “spicy” scents like cinnamon could work. If handmade, other spicy spices should also work.

Lax Incense: Chamomile and Lavender come to mind. It’s best to use the powders; essential oils produce a stronger smell, which can have effects closer to Odd Incense or Full Incense.

Luck Incense: Patchouli and Jasmine are common in money and luck spells. If you want something more floral or otherwise easy to make at home, cinnamon is also commonly used. Something about it being a common trade spice. Same with salt and pepper. Any combination of essential oils used in Holy Chrism also work, as they were used during the time of Jesus to flaunt one’s wealth.

Odd Incense: Lavender is commonly used in magic to enhance spells, same with psychic powers. I use essential oils for this one instead of floral ones, because the essential oils are stronger and thus smell more “odd”.

Pure Incense: Ok so, this one’s a bit more confusing. Despite its effect, it’s nothing like bug spray; canonically (as explained in a Japanese-only pamphlet for one of the old movies, though it seems like it hasn’t been retconned, so much as it’s just never mentioned, in English dubs, with the exception of Arceus calling the Creation trio “magical creatures”.) youkai, so what Pure Incense actually is is Holy Chrism! Though, any sacred scent should do. Perhaps the scent of sake? For homemade stuff, sage and salt are your best bets.

Rock Incense: Earthy tones, like apple, cinnamon, pumpkin, etc are common. Salt, in small doses, can also be effective.

Rose Incense: Anything floral. Need help picking one for homemade stuff? Buy some tea!

Sea Incense: Ocean Breeze comes to mind. For natural ones, seasalt seems to be the best bet. But uh...there’s a problem...

So THIS happened while my two mutuals @osirisapollo and @maskofcognito were in my newest Destiel fic doing some editing and beta reading. 

I got some frantic messages saying I needed to get into the chat ASAP. That a miracle happened. There waiting for me was the best thing ever. My very own Moose and Squirrel.
