i need m&m to have some angst regarding the baby. the obvious guess is millie not wanting the baby and moxxie being thrilled BUT what if millie is the one who is absolutely up for a kid but moxxie doesnt want any because how he was raised and he doesnt want to carry generational trauma accidentally??? and millie is upset because she knows moxxie doesnt want kids??
consider this my official contribution to the marauders fandom
Assigning fragrances to marauders era characters:
pt.1 Regulus & Pandora
pt.2 Lily & Mary, pt.3 Peter & Gilderoy
Regulus:
Reggie would like playing around with different fragrances, and he definetely has expensive taste. He can impress whoever he is with even without talking, he was raised to do so, and fragrances play an important role in that.
Now, I think we all collectively decided he smells like salt water. So the first and obvious answer would be Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone. This cologne smells like the sea and it is heavy on the salt. It also has a hint of citrus which is nice to think as an homage to his desire to keep James close as he really reminds me of citrus notes (foreshadowing to his fragrance episode).
However, I also love the idea of him using Black Orchid by Tom Ford. It's dark, edgy and just expensive enough to fit the tastes of generational wealth. (Similarly, consider Noir de Noir by Tom Ford for Sirius but I won't get into him for now)
Finally, a more niche option for him would be Every Storm a Serenade by Imaginary Authors. Again, a very water-y smell, the "gloom" and destructiveness of a storm and silent and calm notes of the sea, very Reggie.
Pandora:
She absolutely loves, loves, perfumes. Adores niche fragrances, adores going up to her friends and showing them/make them smell the most bizarre perfumes ever. It is a form of art for her. But for everyday use, she selects very flowery but still unique scents.
She loves Zoologist, I would die on that hill, she stocks up on every single animal. SO her signature-ish scent would absolutely be Hummingbird by Zoologist. It's a very flowery scent with a bit of sweetness. Sometimes overpowering and weird to some but Pandora is a-okay with that.
My Past Selves' Flowers by Toskovat' is also a perfume that she would use a lot. It has very prominent tea notes, it's sweet, flowery and insence-y but most importantly, it makes whoever smells it do a double take.
I could go on for Pandora because I love her but these two will have to be enough for now.
I want to continue this for as many characters I can even if no one sees it because 1- I love perfumes, 2- I love marauders, 3- It provides me with the opportunity to talk about things I love and keep track of perfumes I personally like as well.
