Ohh the scent thing is such a fascinating facet of your story! When Machete does his violent work, can Vasco smell it on him? Does Vasco's scent linger on him after they spend a night together? Can passerby smell sex or arousal? What kinds of smells do Machete's co-workers give off? That would make the forbidden things very difficult to hide.
Does any of their peers suspect them at any point?
I think Machete is too much of a neat freak to let any unpleasant odors stick to him for too long. Even though I have this habit of drawing him sprayed with blood and such, in reality it's fairly uncommon for him to get his hands properly dirty, even towards the end, at his worst. He has employees specifically for that business. I think the only affair that is exceedingly hard to avoid or scrub off would be executions by burning, which he has to supervise on occasion. Smoke is just one of those things that spreads far and wide and permeates everything. The persisting aroma of charred flesh and burnt dog hair makes him nauseous for days.
If there's enough close contact it's only reasonable that their personal smells would start to blend together. I can see this being a significant bonding thing under most circumstances. Machete always gets a little blue whenever he has his sheets changed after Vasco has gone back to Florence.
Depending on the situation recent sex might be noticeable, arousal would probably be only detectable on very close proximity. This kind of stuff starts to cross to pheromone territory and that's just a little too nebulous and instinctual for me to unpack in a logical and meaningful way, I think.
His co-workers smell of various things just like everyone else. If there's something seriously wrong with their health you might be able to tell, or not. You might be able to guess where they live, what they do for living and what kind of pastimes they enjoy if they smell familiar in a certain way. Some people are easier to read and some don't give you much of anything to work with.
But we're talking about very subtle things, I'd imagine in order to notice any of the above you'd have to stand at least withing a touching distance to a person, preferably be somewhat familiar with their usual scent profile and have the intent and awareness to decipher what you're sensing. It's not something you can catch from the other side of the room or a thing that dictates social interactions to an overwhelmingly great degree. So if you manage to maintain a sufficient distance to anyone who might suspect something, you're probably fine. Regular bathing helps, and using perfumes and other additional scents to divert people's attention away is very common.

On my mission (make that "mission" because I was actually just standing there) the humans were already finishing up. Tarik was carrying the tool cases back to the shuttle, which was parked on the flat ground past the trees. Iris had finished the router diagnostics and had tuned in to the team feed to watch Karime's conference. Ratthi had stopped looking at his data and was watching Tarik walk. (System Collapse, chapter 2)
ratthi: *checks out his "sexual discussion" partner's ass*
mb: ratthi is watching tarik walk. and that is all i am going to say about it.

I just wanna say i love the way you draw Asriel! Can you give me a how to draw, or tell me about a video where you learnt how to draw him if thats okay with you?
Awe thanks! I strive to make him look fluffy n cute but also include a vibe like he's still an actual young teen and would behave like so?
As for how to draw him,,, I kinda suck at explaining, but, I just nitpick details I liked from various Asriel fanarts I've seen and integrate that to my own Asriel (as in I intensely scrutinize & study at said fanarts). E.g like @/Xxtc-96xx 's Asriel.
So I didn't really have a video to recommend. But I can break down the specific features for you!
- His 'hair' model consists of the tuff of fur on both front & back
- Eyes are vertical, round & slated down (like his sprite)
- His fingers are shorter and stubbier. To stress this I make his fingers double jointed, instead of three like a human. I add a little triangle nubs on top as nails.
- ...For the snout, you can refer to plenty of 'how to draw furries' out there. Even I wing it all the time. Hands down the hardest part of drawing them goat monsters. Just add two lil fangs that looked like it fused with his mouth haha.
That's about it :D

new age discrepancy i noticed while reading the caption of this post:
Lestat de Lioncourt. 179 years in the Savage Garden. 148 years the blood-drinker, the bringer of death… the deer come up the trail
179 years in the savage garden and 148 the blood drinker would mean that lestat was turned when he was 31. however later in the same ep
which would make him 34.
it's just like how depending on what info you use louis was turned when he was 32-34 (if he was born in 1878 and turned in 1910 as he says during this scene, then he's 32. if the birth year on the gravestone is correct and he was turned in 1910, then he's 33 which is what he said he was in ep 1. however, there's that timeline that shows louis being turned in 1911 so if the birth year on the gravestone is correct then he would be 34)
conclusion: none of these vampires can remember how old they were when they were turned and are just approximating

“...Begin?”
____________
I started this drawing with the intention of a quick doodle of that face Grian accidentally built last episode as being like some cute, no-thoughts-head-empty salamander dude that I’d post like “This is the big salamander in Grian’s base! His name is Derrick” or whatever. At some point it just started looking very creepy and when I couldn’t fix it I decided to just kinda....roll with it. So....
This is the eldritch horror in Grian’s base! His name is Derrick
Happy Halloween I guess lol

Do you think that taekook were at atomix alone without the members like other taekookers believe?
Hi anon!
Would there be a problem if I did? Would there be a problem if they actually were? Does it actually make a difference whether they were or weren’t with the others?

Random Hazbin Hotel thought #0
If the characters' demon forms can tell things about each character's appearance, life and death and if Alastor was supposed to wear glasses when alive, then...
What if the day he died only his left glass broke and the right one got transformed to a monocle in the afterlife?
