- Scents are very important to demons. They can tell others the demon’s power level, social status, territory, age, physical state(amount of sleep/exercise/diet/etc), emotional state and where they’ve been recently.
- They have glands on their cheeks, neck, palms of their hands, and soles of their feet(like deer)
- DEMONS BISCUIT MAKING(the thing where cats knead if you don’t know)
- Beel is the one who biscuit makes the most. He does it to self-soothe when he gets anxious or to comfort one of his brothers.
- Because he’s built like a brick house, his kneading is actually a pretty good massage although it takes him a bit to remember to be gentler on mc.
- One time he accidentally kneaded MC so hard they bruised and he felt so bad he cried.
- Demons who live together and scent each other and each other’s things often will form a “family scent” which is one singular scent that’s formed from all of their scents mingling together.
- Covering up someone’s scent on you is basically saying that you don’t like them anymore so don’t put on any perfume/cologne or they’ll get offended. Showers are fine though, you’d have to wash multiple times, without them scenting you in between, to fully get rid of it.
- Demon scents are much stronger than human’s so the brother’s scents usually overpower your own which ends up confusing other demons a lot until they realize you’re that human exchange student they heard about. There have been times where you’ve been mistaken as one of the brothers in disguise.
- You can’t smell their scents really but they can smell YOURS. Well the brothers can at least. It’s a bit eery at first to get used to them being like “how was John today?” When you didn’t tell them that you talked to John, nor were they even in the same store you met John in.
- They can also smell if you’re happy or sad so good luck trying to hide your emotions!
- You’re the weakest member of their family and so they tend to anxiously scent you up into the equivalent of that one kid from the Christmas story but with scents instead of clothes.
- If you spend too much time outside of the house or away from the brothers and don’t smell like them anymore they’ll get pissed at you. Mainly it’s because they worried that another demon might not realize you’re with them and try to hurt you.
- You’ve had multiple instances where some haughty looking demons go to approach you, then the wind changes direction. They get a nosefull of the brother’s scent, then go ‘fuck no’ and turn on their heels.
- You can smell their scents but only the surface part of it. You can tell who’s scent is who’s if they’re standing close to you but that’s it.
- They also do the thing wolves do where they rub a scent on themselves to show their friends/family.
- They also purr because I said so.
- Demons high up in the hierarchy generally flaunt their scents more while it’s rude for lesser demons to take up a lot of “scent space”
- Scenting someone without permission or something that’s not yours is a challenge of dominance. Basically saying ‘I own you/this and there’s nothing you can do about it’
- It’s one of the reasons Lucifer and Barbatos wear gloves. They’re around Diavolo a lot and don’t want to be improper. Even though Diavolo considers all of them close and asks Lucifer to scent him all the time.
- Because of the glands on their feet it’s considered really rude to go barefoot in another persons house.
- I don’t really have any headcannons on their individual scents. It’s not like omegaverse where they smell like coffee or something they just have that distinct animal scent. Although, they will always faintly have the scents of their surroundings on them, so Lucifer does indeed smell like coffee a lot.
- Asmo still wears some perfume but it’s light and doesn’t cover up his or his brother’s scents.
- To humans they just smell like other humans but with an undertone of iron.
- They tend to stare at you sometimes because they can’t find your weak scent under all of theirs which triggers the instinct of ‘family member missing’ so they need that visual confirmation that you’re there.
- They get nervous when a member of their family is gone for a while and their scent fades from the house. If you go back to the human realm it takes them a while to get used to the absence of your scent.
- During the exchange event, there were many times someone would catch Beel asleep with one of Belphie’s clothes or blankets pressed up against his nose. He’d also sometimes sleep in his twins bed but only when he REALLY missed him because he didn’t want to accidentally cover up the scent.
- The same way an absence of a scent can make a demon anxious, scents can also make them calm down and Satan will sometimes sniff areas his brothers scented to help clear his head when his other anger management techniques aren’t working.
- Originally, they hated mc’s scent for disrupting the scent ‘ecosystem’ but eventually they started to see you more as ‘family’ and your scent was welcome.
I talked about this with @librathefangirl but the look of fondness Meliodas always makes whenever he thinks or talks to zeldris will never not make me insane
SHWOWKKWKWKWKWK he loves his baby brother so much omg 😭😭❤️🥺
And what if I said that Meliodas had to take a cold attitude towards Zeldris because Chandler had a habit of taking away anything Mel cared about away? Anything Chandler deemed unnecessary/distraction he destroyed. Drole, Gloxinia, Elizabeth and the Sins.
