This claim about Trump, which has been confirmed by multiple people who have been around him, is bothering Trump and his team so much that they felt the need to comment on it.

Walked into my kitchen this morning to make myself some breakfast after making the Malort Italian Beef yesterday and was assaulted by a smell I can only describe as meaty wormwood. It was like a ghost floating around the kitchen, waiting to attack.
Ill omens all over. Sometimes science goes too far.

One thing I'd like to see more is utilization of smells in whump. There isn't much mention of it but when you think about the scenarios these whumpees are in, it adds another layer. Whumpees who haven't been able to wash in who knows how long, living with their body odor and sweat and oils. Whumpees who have been ill, unable to escape that stuffy sick smell of vomit and artificially sweet cough syrup. The stinging, clinical, chemical smells of a lab or medical facility. The metallic tang of blood. And on the other hand, comforting smells too. The smell of warm soup, of freshly laundered blankets, of their familiar caretaker when they give them a hug. Let's use all of the senses here!

Types of people based on smells (tag who you are):
Gasoline: Staying up late, feeling like you should be crying but not being able to, thick jackets, hands in pockets, sweat, motorcycles.
Sawdust: Always having your bedroom door closed, sitting next to your friends when they’re sad, waning moon, stubborn, the feeling of home.
Hot chocolate: Warm hugs, fogged up glasses, contagious laughs, weighted blankets, found family, fingerless gloves, zoning out.
Books: Long skirts, flannel, small smiles but big grins, old hair ties, dried flowers, honey, lowering the dimmer on lights when walking into rooms.
Buttercream: Daffodils, summer sun, late mornings, food fights, wish lists, jazz hands, that perfect person.
Wet rocks: Walking in the dark, cucumber water, shampoo, running as fast as you can for no reason, asmr, burying yourself in the ball pit.
Dogs: A blanket a loved one made, stale cookies, faded jeans, a well earned nap, wanting stay in the shower, the word affection.
Campfires: Coughing and laughing simultaneously, talking aloud in bed, melting chocolate, mirrors, dancing in the dark.

Humans are forged in fired so we always smell like ash to the aliens, and when we don't, its still always something earthy.
[24/09/23] Hmm... born of fire and earth, living with or through ash and dirt, ending in dust. There's something there. All Humanity makes is certainly with fire or force, everything we eat as well. Such... brutality, in a sense, is at the core of our being. A consequence of being from a world where peaceful continuation only happens artificially. Yet many if not most aliens are from far more accommodating planets, thus their natural existence, all the way down to their cellular make-up and baseline instincts, differs from Humans. Even to the point where they, and us as well, can sense that the other is fundamentally different, not just as a species, but something more fundamental that neither can fully convey or properly understand. (now how do I want to present it in the verse...)
[27/09/23] I'm just gonna reread the above once and let my brain run free tomorrow.
_________________________
As the first year since Humanities return to the Galaxy and beginning stages of integration into the Galactic Coalition draws to a close, some unofficial interactions between civilians from both ends are starting to occur. And subsequently - rumors and anecdotes start spreading, certain biases are in their early stages, as well as prejudices reemerging from the first time Humanity had its unsatisfying experience with the... Responsibility Barrier. We have since retired that policy.
One particular anecdote that is being reported by both Humans and other Coalition member species is a strange smell that envelops the other party.
We hear many say that Humans have this strange hint of burning, or fire, or metal, an in rarer cases of soil or dust. Likewise Humans have reported that many among us have a slight essence of a floral scent, a few of salt, and a small number of what Humans call "morning right after rain".
This phenomena persists even when both parties have undergone extra thorough and identical decontamination, save for any respective symbiotic microbial life on their surface. The "scent" seems to correlate somewhat with the origin world of the respective species and deviates according to their individual upbringing, though not always.
What's more is that Coalition species don't sense it from others, only from Humans, and Humans also don't notice anything of the sort from species whose origins are even a little closer to the hostile nature of Earth, though nowhere near such extremes.
The most peculiar aspect is that, while we call it a scent or say we smell it, there does not appear to be any physical connection with how smells work, as species whose olfactory senses are either incredibly dull or non-existent report a similar sensation when interacting with Humans.
When questioned, all diplomats who had dealings with Humans and the Human delegates admit they felt it too, but their training forbade them from speaking up about something as trivial as "how someone of a completely different species smells". Diplomacy 101.
In any case, a curios subject to investigate on ones own terms, but as it stands these "scents" don't particularly impact any interaction and may remain a mystery. Perhaps another entry in the infinite expanse of "Psychology and Brain Chemistry is wack".

Do y'all know about the ODOR CUBE!?!?
Tumblr media
This is actually from a peer-reviewed scientific journal article in Chemical Senses titled "A Sensory 3D Map of the Odor Description Space Derived from a Comparison of Numeric Odor Profile Databases", but it's a godsend for writers (and neurodivergent folks who want to actually be able to tell people what smell is bothering them lol)

But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously.
— Julio Cortázar, Hopscotch ( Pantheon; February 12, 1987) (via Alive on All Channels)

What do the Obey Me characters smell like?
I told myself that if my post about the brothers got a certain amount of notes I'd do one for the others as well, and it did, so here it is.
Diavolo: He'd smell like a fancy cologne with an undertone of tea and maybe some coffee as well.
Barbatos: He'd probably smell like tea, a hint of fresh bread, and a touch of sweetness to add an undertone. Depending on the day the tea scent would change, mint, honey, black tea, it just depends on the type of tea he made that day and what he put in it.
Luke: He'd smell sweet. It would change depending on what he's been baking that day. Sometimes it's cinnamon, sometimes vanilla, sometimes citus, sometimes chocolate. It's always sweet though.
Simeon: Weirdly, baby powder. I don't know why, but he'd smell like baby powder. Maybe a bit of coffee.
Solomon: He'd smell like smoke from incense, some spices, and a weird combination of other things if he's 'cooked' that day. He'd smell how the food he makes looks.
