Is it a post-consumption thing, or a signature scent thing?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I suppose it's actually a signature scent thing, but I've never run into anyone who naturally smelled like a foodstuff. Well, except for maybe moldy cheese.

I always figured any non-human, non-garlic or onions scent a character carried was based on their grooming products. Strawberry scented shampoo, citrus-scented lotion, etc.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Lucky Nutty, blocking out the canon of Wrecked, like that.
Although, I would swear that fanon had Willow smelling like strawberries back before she was "Gay now!", so pre-Racked....

Sometimes the fans are prescient.
I'd assume one would acquire a strawberry scent the same way one acquires the scent of jasmine, baby powder, or Chanel #5.

My impression is, in badfic, people naturally smell/taste like starwberries/vanilla.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sort of puts a new spin on 'Mmmmm, cookies' yesno?
Flea's impression is not a false one, in fanon. I've read quite a few where BUffy naturally exudes essence of vanilla instead of sweat. It's kind of creepy, actually.

They seem to be confusing Buffy with the strawberry shortcake characters.
I recall the little plastic dolls smelled of various fruits.

What is even happening?

Mine, too. I figured it for a natural scent and gift with purchase of violet eyes, limpid pools of cerulean, or rich pots of chocolate with just a hint of sherry.

The natural scent idea is incredibly disgusting. People should smell like nothing, or like musk, or like sweat. And as little of the latter as possible, ot at least keep it fresh.
Moving desks today. I hope it's being done in a way where I don't have to do diddly. Will be sad to leave some of these people, moving all the way across the way. Still line of sight, but not kooshball tossing range, unless kettlebell pays off dramatically.
I just spent fifteen minutes working from outside, sending and replying to emails on my Blackberry. Not quite a nap, but restorative nonetheless. I wonder if there's wireless signal out there...
