blue stuff is the glue that was used to connect the pipes. It doesn't stank after it's dried. The rest of it is looking like a nice clean pipe, maybe your trap dried out?
Sometimes the trap dries up and that allows smells through. In those cases pouring water down the drain refills the trap and thus blocks the smell.
Good god man, you found a whole other bathroom inside your grate!
PVC glue is that blue color.
I think you just need to cover that up.
Clean it out with baking soda and vinegar, then stay on top of occasionally dripping in vinegar.
Baking soda turns vinegar into salt water. Mixing them cancels their individual cleaning properties.
You want that in a drain though: the chemical reaction causes a great deal of foaming and agitation, which clears shit off the inside of the pipe.
The PH you end up with also retards fruit flies and other nasties.
Normally mixing bicarb and vinegar is an exercise in stupidity, sure - but not in the case of drains
Clearly, you never did a 3rd grade science project.
