Recs and Buffyverse Foodporn :3

Buffy'smile


LJ seems to work again. At least, for the moment. ò_ò
First of all, I need to than ash_carpenter or letting me translate in Italian her fic Shiny. Read the fic!! (Here's the link --> http://ash-carpenter.livejournal.com/154774.html) Spike and Angel are kittens. Cute, little, furry kittens. Aaaawww It's really cute and funny and there is so much Spangel goodness. Also KITTENS.

Another thing that I love is food. 
And I need to recommend this discussion started by the lovel red_satin_dollhttp://red-satin-doll.livejournal.com/9455.html
Basically she asks some questions about Buffyverse, canon VS fanon, and there are also interesting reflections about the characters and how they smell. What do you think is Buffy's scent? How smells Spike besides tobacco, leather and bourbon? 

I have to admit: I think that the characters smell nice. Especially my favourite ones. 
I've always imagined that Buffy likes super-sweet fragrances, like vanilla or peach. In my little headcanon she really smells like coconut or vanilla, because I think she like feminine products. We see how much she likes buying new shoes or wearing cute earrings and such. I think she would love to shop and buy some Lush producs. So, yes, my headcanon!Buffy smells like coconut, vanilla or peach. She also sweats a lot, since she's always fighting against some evil demon.

Strawberry is the official fragrance of Willow, after the famous scene with Reck, and for Anya I personally think about lemons and oranges, something more spicy and vibrant. 

Tara smells milky. I think there is definetely something maternal about her and I think she likes simple but nice skin products. Yesterday I rewatched New Moon Rising and, this is maybe an unpopular opinion, but I like her uberblonde hair and the roots a little darker. I think she looks really good. (I hated platinum hair on Buffy!) Tara seems sweet like honey and milk, but at the same time kinda solid like these two foods. (It correct, in English to write "foods"?)

My Buffyverse Foodporn imagination is, I think, fueled by associations more than informations. I didn't know about SMG's choices in the bath producs area. Still, I also have this vanilla thingy about her. :3 What about you?

I remember reading - years ago - in a discussion of fanon vs canon, that Buffy and vanilla probably became a fanon trope because at some point in an interview SMG had said she liked vanilla. No idea if that's true or not, but it's a viable explanation.

Barb also wrote that SMG said something about vanilla bath products and it became a fandom obsession. I guess it's true.
