I'm one of those silly people who uses smell to identify people, so I'm giving you my Demon Brother scent headcanons.

Lucifer: He's alright, he smells very heavily of cinnamon. It's very heady and too much exposure to him might cause a headache

Mammon: He smells very strongly of his expensive cologne, which. Very fresh smell, but not something you can name. Levi: He sleeps in a bathtub, and destroys the concept of otakus not bathing. He smells like dove soap. When he doesn't bathe for whatever reason he smells of fish. Up to you if you like fish or not

Satan: Old book smell, due to his room. Very calming. Sometimes smells of apples, after he eats his favourite pie

Asmo: So much perfume and body butter and oh my lord. Causes near instant headaches with his scent. Very sweet, with floral notes.

Beel: Whatever he last ate, though the smell of ketchup from his burgers tend to linger.

Belphie: He probably smells like body lotion. He seems like the type to lather it on. If not, I'd say he doesn't smell... Pleasant, but it's not a bad smell. It's rather musky. Beel has to get him to bathe sometimes, though

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me mammon #obey me lucifer #obey me leviathan #obey me satan #obey me asmodeus #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor #headcanon #probably kinda weird but scent is an important sense for me #Tomi's Obey Me AU

<- A/B/O Anon

HI- *coughs* well, they aren’t exactly headcanons, just ideas I have that I wanna chat about.

I’m on a big Omega!Bruce kick so here they are. (these can or can’t be connected but I do love the idea of them being connected)

1. Brucie Wayne is a known Omega, one that flits from date to date. The thing is, Batman is known as an omega too. This time he’s the embodiment of an Omegan Mom protecting their nest Territory from all threats. Like Omegas used to do in the Olden Times™️, feral behavior and scenting is common >:3

2. A/B/O Dynamics don’t actually exist outside Gotham. Sure, some Gothamites have moved out so A/B/O is known, but isn’t seen outside Gothamites.

So when Dick Grayson came to Gotham he was very confused and didn’t really understand what was going on.

When Bruce eventually scoops him up and brings him home, Dick is even more confused. Atleast in Juvie the A/B/O behaviors were stifled except for posturing, but now outside of Juvie? In the home of an Omega? He’s gonna get the full brunt of Bruce both fussing over him and trying his best to not cross the line of Bruce being his Pack Guardian and not Pack Omega. (Either way, for Dick it’s very much smothering)

It doesn’t click for Bruce or Alfred until Bruce comes sulking to Alfred about his pup being broken and not even accepting being scented! Doesn’t Dick want to feel safe??? No one’s going to touch Dick if he’s smothered in Wayne Scent!!! (Maybe eventually Dick gets startled when he starts to instinctively responding as a pup would/is able to smell scents/feel pack bonds)

3. When Jason gets tossed into the Lazarus pit, it actually repairs his pack bonds. Sure, it’s not perfect, Jason can’t actually reach out through the bonds to respond- but he can feel his Pack’s love, not to mention their desperation to get him back as soon as they realize Jay’s bonds are back. (Talia, meanwhile, is still trying to convince Jay that Bruce doesn’t love him and how he replaced him, but that doesn’t quite work as Jason can feel his Pack’s love- not to mention the absolute adoration coming from the newest, weakest, and youngest link in the pack)

4. And finally four- One of the Robins vanish from the Teen Titans for quite a bit- and when they come back, they’re questioned on where they went. Robin sighs and just says Batman was being broody again, and the Teen Titans just think that Batman was brooding.

In actuality, the Robin had to deal with Bruce being broody in the chicken sense. AKA, “You Are My Child And I Will Keep You In My Nest And Focus Entirely On You And Your Well-being. ..What do you mean taking care of myself? I have to take care of my PUP!”

I absolutely adore all of this. Love the idea of it being a Gotham thing because Gotham is just Like That. Like there's so many curses and magic and who knows how many chemicals that they're like, still human but also just built different.

Gosh, if heats are a thing I like to think they're more platonic. Just, fussing over pack members and being the Broodiest Thing Ever with every family member and will get Upset if one tries to leave the Nest where they are Safe and can be Taken Care Of.

Pfft, the poor Justice League are not prepared for Batman to get broody on a mission and force them all to take care of themselves with no context. They're not his pack, but well, they have fought together and they're sort-of friends, depending on the timeline.

Poor Damian is going to get smothered, Bruce is going to get Very broody the moment Jason returns, and with Another Pup. Tim & Dick get yoinked back from the Titans Tower to be smothered and snuggled and absolutely covered in the family's scent.

Absolutely love the idea of them learning how to be a pup and pack together and am vibrating in utter glee at all of this.

#batman au #batman #dc #dcu #ask answered #omegaverse #alpha beta omega #feral behavior #do you think some people who have better senses can smell the differences like the gothamites can #like do you think superman or beast boy could pick out the difference between them #or at least realize the robins/nightwing/etc are covered in the same scent #I hope you know i am open to more headcanons and ideas #love this #absolutely love the idea of everyone in gotham knowing that Batman is the Mom of Gotham who will rip people apart if they threaten the nest #I feel like Brucie starts with a playboy-esque civilian cover until he gets Dick and then he just flips into doting dad #Have to leave a gala? Dick to the rescue asking to go home while giving puppy eyes #Need to get away from someone? The pups are about to throw a fit if they don't get their nap time #etc etc lol

So a thing that lives in my head rent free is what kind of scents do the lieutenants and captains have? (Be it shower gel, deodorant, cologne/perfume, etc) Like when you hug them what do they each smell like? (Kinda weird but y'know)

omggg I feel like some of these are self explanatory, but I'll provide details on some of these <3

Jushiro: Lavender and tea.

Shunsui: Sake and a strong cologne that smells like a flower of some sort.

Byakuya: Cherry blossoms and a hint of vanilla ;)

Kenpachi: Uses a strong scented deodorant that can be smelled across the soul society. Makes the hairs in your nose burn off...

Kensei: Like a manly man lol idk how else to describe it, but it smells good. Big beefy men like him smell good and you can't get enough of it.

Toshiro: icy axe body spray (i feel like axe body spray just gives off his vibes yk, bc that shit to me is so goddamn icy and cold)

Shinji: Old spice body wash (Timber with Sandalwood). Maybe a spray of some fancy cologne.

Mayuri: He's not concerned about what he smells like since he's in the lab all day and he probably smells at the end of the day, so he just puts on a cheap deodorant and maybe if he's feeling fancy, a quick spray of colonge.

Soi-Fon: A vanilla perfume or like her honey shampoo and conditioner.

Renji: Old spice deodorant (vanilla + shea butter) and hair gel.

Rangiku: Strawberry perfume or an Ariana Grande perfume that she got from the human world or her strawberry shampoo and conditioner.

Izuru: Something dark and mysterious. Something that when he walks past you, you'll be wanting to know more ;)

Shuhei: He wears a strong, but not overbearing cologne. One that if he walks past you, you'll inhale it for a few seconds and cherish the smell.

Ikkaku: I imagine that he wears a deep scented cologne, combined with his body wash. Honestly, he probably smells the best out of the lieutenants.

one day Artemis and Apollo go on a camping trip and they encounter a hurt animal, which Artemis uses as an excuse to make Apollo unreasonably stressed out. Artemis: RAGEGHEHEHARG APOLLO!!! APOLLO LOOK!!! APOLLO!!! Apollo: (panicking. Dropping everything.) ARTEMIS!!! ARTEMIS!!! IM LOOKING FOR SUPPLIES WAIT WAIT WAIT Artemis: GOGOGO GET THEM!! (He is throwing everything out of his bag.) wait you use axe body spray oh wow that’s so lame. Of COURSE it’s the Apollo scent. Oh you got another? (Insert stressed Apollo sounds here) What you thought you were going to use up one entire bottle during our trip? Wait there’s ano- there’s ANOTHER one? THERE’S ONE MORE?? THERE-

WAIT HOW MANY OF THESE DO-

WHAT!!

WHAT?!?!

APOLLO WHAT

#Artemis #apollo #i love them so much. #toa #up to you whether Toa apollo would use axe body spray apollo scent unironically or not. #Sorry guys some day my sense of humour will evolve from big text. I swear. #In case anyone reads these I imagined the total number of cans to be 27.

By burning incense [we] know the o’clock of the night, With graduated candle [we] confirm the tally of the watch.

Those are the words of sixth century poet Yu Jianwu referencing incense clocks.

The incense clock takes the basic concept—timing by combustion—and elevates it to a new level of gorgeous complexity. Examining the example held by the Science Museum, I was struck by its diminutive size: no larger than a coffee mug. Yet its small compartments are carefully packed with everything it needs to operate. In the bottom tray, you’ll find a bite-sized shovel and damper; above that, a pan of wood ashes for laying out the incense trail; then, stacked on top, an array of stencils for laying out the labyrinths. As Silvio Bedini, historian of scientific instruments, explains in his extensive study of the use of fire and incense for time measurement in China and Japan, the variety allows for seasonal variation: longer paths to be burned through the endless winter nights, while shorter ones serve for summer

[...]

To set the clock, start by smoothing the ashes with the damper until they are perfectly flat. Select your stencil, then use the sharp edge of the shovel to carve out a groove, following the pattern, and fill it with incense. Finally, cap it with the lacy lid to vent the smoke and control the flow of oxygen.

To track smaller intervals of time, place small markers at regular points along the path. Some versions had little chimneys dispersed across the lid, allowing the hour to be read based on which hole the smoke was venting through. And some users may have used different kinds of incense at different parts of the path, or inserted scented chips along the way, so that they could tell the time with just a sniff.

If you are interested in reading more about incense clocks, there is much more in the article the above passages come from including pointers to longer documents about them too.

Finished off my main oils that I use for my morning body blessings today (read: tweaked some more of the Essential Oil additions, then finally re-bottled some of each into the small stopper bottles so I can use them for my blessings again). Then I wound up cleaning my computer desk; I didn't realize how dusty it'd gotten since I got sick, so that's been fixed now!

I was thinking while doing it, though, that while I don't have the space for blending the Teas, Incenses, and Perfumes that I'd like to do ... I do have the space and materials for my Spiritual Oils. And I make enough of them for myself that it wouldn't be that difficult to scale my recipes up when I make them. And if I bottled them on an "as sold" basis, they wouldn't be hard to store because I wouldn't have to find the space for a million tiny bottles while I wait for them to be sold- just the mother jar.

So I'm thinking about maybe starting to try and sell my Spiritual Oils for a bit of income. It'd definitely not be some thing immediate (though I could probably sell a bit of the 2 Oils I do have made currently); they're not exactly quick concoctions by any means- plus I'd have to figure out how to make labels, etc (unless I just hand write everything like I've been doing). But it seems like something that's feasible to do while I live here, that's in line with what I want to do overall, eventually.

It's just a matter of, like ... Is anyone actually interested in them? Like, if I actually started to make them, would anyone (like y'all) actually buy them? Because there's so many companies already that sell Spiritual Oils, which are far more interesting than me- and far better at it. What on Earth would make you buy from me over someone else?

ETA: The oils I'd be making would be what I pretty much always make for myself. So that'd be a combination of my own proprietary blends (like those I was tinkering with finishing finally, above) — plus my takes on stuff out of Cunningham, Cabbot (I think), and Gardener's grimoires; Rankine's various translations; Schulke's formulas; etc ... Stuff I already make and tinker with anyways- just scaled up, and with more effort put in to provide a saleable product, rather than a personal use one (because that's what I have the room to store right now). And as usual, I'd probably grow most of my own herbs for them, too.

"Hello Chenya, my dear"

"I just wanted to let you know that I'll always be here for you...like I've said before I'm not really scared off by anything with you ..infact I think the more I've learned about you the more I've wanted to be with you..which is always a good sign yeah?"

*I chuckle softly, my hands gently playing with the fabric at the end of my sweater vest before I'm able to make eye contact again*.

"This is maybe a bit cheesy but ..I was (and still am) in my feels so I just wanted to come out and say it. Never been the type to not be straight forward with how I feel about anyone I care about..." *I pause for a brief second*.

"I want to stay by you as long as you'll want lil ol' me.." *A tiny blush is on my cheeks, making my whole face more pink than usual*. ♡♡♡

*appears and hugs you from behind, purring happily and laying my head on your shoulder*

Darlin, I always knew this, but pink looks good on you~! *laughs softly*

But anyway, you should know by now that for those that I claim as mine, while I may disappear for a bit, I don’t disappear for good unless they want me to. And even then I may still watch over from afar to make sure they’re safe - because even if they no longer care about me I often still care about them.

As fur you~! *nuzzles you contentedly and my purring intensifies* You don’t need to worry, Darlin. If you don’t plan on leaving me, I don’t plan on leaving you.

You think I let just anyone have such a visible claim to me that I purroudly show off every day?

*pointedly flicks my ear against you, reminding you of the earrings that you gave me for my birthday that I am currently wearing, as I have every day since you gifted them to me*

#not to mention that I think the two of us now purrmanently scent like each other #*smirks* #we are certainly around each other enough that it makes sense #che’nya chats #twst rp #che’nya rp #darlin megs 💖

glad to announce it gets even more gay in the translation.

panel 1: vanitas wearing a pomander for what is implied covering up his blood's scent and be able to be close to Noé

panel 2 and 3: luna being unhinged (iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou), vanitas receiving his cloak from her and the whole "pick something that will be soothing to you" just before he sits on noé's bed and has a rare moment of tranquility.

how did mochijun ever get accused of queerbaiting

#the case study of vanitas #vanitas no carte #KNOCKING on wood but imo straightbaiting is the fitting term #jeanne and vanitas played for laughs while vanitas and noé are obsessed with each other #and domi makes all the girls tremble #oooh maybe his cloak dampens his scent to other vampires lol. thats why the fabric is important #would make sense that he would find the protection soothing #still homosexual

the minute rain hits the ground in certain places, it activates our senses, reminds us where we come from, reminds us where we're headed, too

today, i'm in the garden, hands empty, eyes closed, immersed in this heady scent, this dusky, earthy almost-ness

today, i am a wolf, nostrils flaring, muddy pawed

breathing—tasting

domesticity with aki is so lamp coded

a bad habit I have is that someone will mention a subject in conversation and that subject will spark a whole train of thoughts in my head. unfortunately, nobody knows that I had an ornate train of thought in my head and they just think I blurted out something unrelated

#does this make any sense? I dont think I worded it well #for example: today my family was talking about perfume and common scents. citrus came up #so I started thinking about limes and lime used in making tortillas #and I remembered my moms shopping list included tortillas but also masa so she could /make/ tortillas #and I found it amusing that she told my brother to buy tortillas in two different forms #and it got me thinking about a statement my friend made about fried chicken- how you dip it in egg which is a different for #form of chicken. #now mind you my family has no idea im thinking all of this and I blurt out 'isnt it odd that we make fried chicken by dipping it into its #other form?' #they were still talking about perfume btw. so it was awkward lol

[rabbitrah]

Poring through fragrantica in search of perfumes that smell like dirt and leaves.

#I've literally never been a perfume person #I don't have a very strong sense of smell and don't want to offend anyone else's #but also the concept of mossy forest floor type scents is soo appealing to me... #txt
