*sobs* i love Eidolon
Tumblr media
Introducing Eidolon, my spooky lil nameless ghoul OC. They don't mean to be so spooky, it's just kind of how they are. Please ask me questions about them, I could literally talk about them all day.
Read more about them below:
@cuntydrybones came up with the idea that the abbey has an ossuary and I expanded on that saying that the bones there are from the Siblings and that it's seen as an honor for their bones to be added to the decorations. And of course any good ancient church worth its salt as catacombs, obviously, and Eidolon, who is a Quintessence ghoul, takes care of them and the ossuary. They prepare the bones and they arrange them and make them look nice and they've been doing it for centuries. They also prepare bodies for burial and use their magick to "embalm" them.
They're not seen out and about very often and if they are, it's usually at night because their eyes are really light sensitive, and because of that, they kind of become a spooky ghost story around the Abbey. People usually only catch glimpses of them as they're going around the corner or something for example, which is how they got their name. Other people have been calling them Eidolon for so long that they don't really remember their given name, but that's okay, they like Eidolon and it suits them.
They're a little odd but actually super sweet despite being unintentionally spooky and some of the siblings who are actually aware of them outside of the ghost tale will visit them in the ossuary. Sister Morrigan (seen in the comic) is one of those Siblings. She more or less becomes their assistant and deals with all the paperwork involved with anyone's death.
Eidolon is also a pretty accomplished healer and can do necromancy (because what is necromancy but healing on hard mode). They mostly do it on animals for their friend Basil (@cuntydrybones character) because it's easier with animals especially if they haven't been dead long. They can bring people back too, but it takes longer and requires more preparation, resources, and magick, and depending on how long a person's been dead for, there's more risk of them coming back Wrong. They're also not able to bring back anyone who has died of old age or illness.
There's a rumor among the folks who actually know about them that they've reanimated a few skeletons to do their bidding. Which they haven't because that would be very disrespectful to the bones and the Siblings they once belonged to. They could if they wanted to though.

It took five days in the second episode of the film. Guys, Cardi has been in play for 5 years.

Limelight
Rating: E
Pairing: Aether/Dew
Summary: Aether and Dew see the ghovie (gone sexual). Contains handjobs, semi-public play, teasing, hand kink and quintessence fuckery.
(Also contains mentions of Rite Here Rite Now concert footage ONLY - no spoilers!)
Tumblr media
"I feel ridiculous," Dew grumbles, tapping the toe of his boot against the dingy theater carpet. The lobby is bustling, filled with people of all ages in Ghost shirts, face paint and costumes. Dew tugs at his jacket, restless.
"Why?" Aether strokes the back of his hand with his thumb. "I thought you were excited to see the finished product?"
Dew mumbles something as they move up in line, eyeballing the concessions menu. Nearby, a pair of young girls giggle as they take a selfie with their creepy little plush Copias in front of the Rite Here Rite Now poster.
"Looks like you aren't the other one, either," Aether chuckles, elbowing Dew gently. The little ghoul rolls his eyes.
"Just...feels weird," Dew shrugs, grabbing a packet of Sour Patch Kids from the display stand. "Seeing it all...y'know." He gestures vaguely with their joined hands and Aether gives him a nod.
"You're gonna be on the big screen, baby boy," he says with a grin, looping an arm around his shoulders, and Dew frowns in a very stern sort of way.
"Get me these," he grumbles, tossing his candy onto the counter as they step up. "And a blue Icee. Large." Aether chuffs as he pulls out his wallet, rattling off things to the scrawny kid behind the till. "And nachos. With extra jalapeños."
Aether gives him a look.
"How much do you think the infirmary pays me, Dew?"
"Ugh, fine," he says with another exaggerated eye roll. "A medium Icee."
Aether pinches the tendon on the inside of his wrist and Dew kicks him in the shin. Aether shakes his head with a sigh, but he can't hide his smitten grin.
They gather up the pile of snacks - large Icee included - and make their way to the theater. It's a decent space, with reclining seats and extra chilly air conditioning. It's only about half full with five minutes til showtime, but Dew doesn't mind a smaller crowd. Their seats are great, in the back with empites on each side and in front, and Dew crosses his fingers that it stays that way. He sets down his things, shrugs off his jacket and lays it over it lap when he sits.
"How are you not cold?" Aether shivers, sitting on his hands. "It's frigid in here."
"You know I run hot," Dew shrugs, reclining his seat and crossing his ankles as he settles in. He grabs his box of nachos and scoops up a glob of impossibly yellow cheese and pickled jalapeño. "Plus, this way I can use it as a blanket if I want to."
Dew pops the chip into his mouth and demonstrates while he munches, crossing his legs and pulling the jacket up to cover his chest. He makes a tah-dah gesture and Aether smiles, leaning over to swipe a little smear of cheese from his bottom lip.
"Whatever works, I guess," he says, licking his thumb clean. He grimaces. "That tastes like spicy, salty plastic."
"I know, isn't it great?"
Dew uncovers himself and settles in again, stretching his legs and covering his lap. He takes a sip of his Icee and grand the box again, tucking in while the theater lights start to dim. That same wiggly feeling he'd had in the lobby hits again and Dew sighs, fidgeting with the loose edge of a patch on his jacket.
"This really feels weird," he breathes, and Aether reaches over to hold his hand again.
"Relax, Dew," he murmurs, lacing their fingers together. "You're gonna be just fine."
The last thing Dew sees before the lights go down is the glint of Aether's golden tooth, and he struggles to swallow the lump in his throat as the screen flickers to life.
The first time he appears, Aether audibly gasps, and Dew can't explain the way it males him feel. He shoves another chip in his mouth and decides not to think about it.
Twenty minutes and three bouts of brainfreeze later, though, his snacks are gone and Dew finds himself with no further distractions. Seeing himself - well, all of them really, but especially himself - up on that screen is doing things to his insides he can't quite explain. There's a certain level of queasiness in play, though who's to say how much of that is from watching himself play in stunning definition and how much is impending heartburn.
He squirms in his seat and tries very hard not to focus on the mistakes he catches. Tiny things he's sure no one else can see or hear - obviously, judging by the people dancing in their seats - but he sure can. He watches his fingers fly over the frets and wishes he had arched his back a little bit more in that shot. Stupid things he shouldn't give a shit about, and yet can't help but focus on. This is exactly what he was worried about when Aether suggested this outing.
Aether, on the other hand, seems to be struggling for other reasons entirely.
Dew can hear how heavy his breathing has gotten, can feel where his palm has gotten sweaty where their hands are joined. Not from the warmth of connection, but a clamminess that speaks of stress. Dew keeps looking at him from the corner of his eye, every time he hears a huff of breath or a sigh he's sure Aether thinks he's hiding, but the other ghoul's eyes remain locked on the screen. Dew's sure that if he were to lay his head on Aether's chest his heart would be racing. After one particularly harsh sigh Dew finally gives in. He focuses and reaches down the invisible link between their minds, nudging himself up against Aether's consciousness.
You okay, big guy?
Dew squeezes his hand and Aether visibly sags, shoulders slumping and legs falling apart in the reclined seat. Even in the dark, Dew can make out the bulge that movement reveals.
Oh, he slips into Aether's mind, not entirely on purpose, and the other ghoul lets out a quiet groan.
Look at you up there, Dew. Aether's reply carries rich warmth, the kind that soothes the nerves. The tone is worshipful, like Aether's borne witness to something spectacular. Fuck, just look at you.
The screen cuts to a close up of him as if on cue, fingers effortlessly gliding over his strings, and Dew's attention shifts to their joined hands. Aether's stroking his thumb over the most prominent vein on the back of his strumming hand, tracing it with effortless precision. A motion he's done a thousand times over, but one that feels so different with the starved way he's watching the screen.
He doesn't fight it when Aether pulls his hand into his lap, and his eyelids flutter when he feels just how hard Aether's gotten in his jeans. His own cock gives an interested twitch as he rubs at that sizable bulge, feeling it pulse against his palm. He doesn't say a word as he shrugs off Aether's grip, but he does roll his eyes when Aether whines into his head.
Two seconds, he says, scooting as close to Aether as he can in his seat. He pulls his jacket from his lap and lays it over Aether's instead, sneaking that clever hand back under to fondle him again. There, that's better.
Aether's mouth drops open when Dew gives him a squeeze, gripping his armrests so hard they creak. His eyes never leave the screen, though. Not even when Dew's elegant fingers start fiddling with his zipper. Not tugging it down, not yet, just dragging a nail over the teeth and loving the way it makes Aether flinch.
You're really worked up, aren't you?
He can't hide the twinge of surprise the thought carries, a curious inflection pushed into Aether's clearly distracted mind. He knows Aether loves to watch him play - always the one to tag along with him for midnight practice sessions and sunrise acoustic sets whenever sleep eludes him. And every time, no matter how many years pass, Dew would find Aether staring at his hands. Fixated on the control Dew prides himself on, focused on the way his skilled fingers danced over the neck and strummed out the most complex riffs with what looked like no effort at all. Aether would always rub his hands afterwards, massaging in just a hint of quintessence to help relieve hours of soreness.
Dew would reciprocate with a little rubbing of his own, of course. He's nothing if not a gentleman.
Still, though, seeing Aether fall apart so very rapidly over the sight of him on that screen comes as a surprise. He isn't one to show his cards like this, usually able to hold a straight face through damn near anything. Dew knows, he's seen it - Aether remains the only one unfazed by Aeon's puppy eyes, no matter how much the kid tries. That's proof enough of his stoicism.
And yet.
It's different. The words float into his mind, wobbly and unsure. Like Aether's really struggling to form coherent thoughts. It's...it's so much different like this.
They're the last words Aether manages before Dew feels the connection between their minds falter. He's pretty sure that's his own fault, given the way he's started massaging Aether through his ever tightening jeans, but it makes Dew chuckle under his breath. He refocuses on that link as he leans closer, until he can rest his head on Aether's bicep.
I'll take your word for it. Aether throbs against his palm and Dew groans low in his throat. Fuck, you're really hard aren't you?
"Shit," the other ghoul hisses, harsh, and a girl two rows down turns to glare at them. Aether shrinks a bit in his seat, and Dew is absolutely delighted.
None of that, he scolds, popping the button under his fingers. If you can't keep quiet, I'm not gonna be able to help you. Don't you want me to help you?
Dew tugs the zipper down and sees Aether bite his lip hard enough to draw blood when he reaches inside. It's damn near impossible to keep his own pleasured groan when he finally gets a hand on Aether, finding him stone hard and hot to the touch. He pulls it out, hidden by the jacket, and Aether's head thuds against the back of his seat.
That's what I thought, Dew snickers, and that's all the warning Aether gets before that warm, bony hand starts to stroke.
Dew works him slow, with tight, twisting pulls that make Aether's thighs tremble in seconds. He nuzzles further into Aether's arm while the movie plays on, soaking in his rich cologne and the subtle scent of arousal. There's no urgency in the way he touches Aether, pausing every few downstrokes to get a hand on his balls too. To grope them, weigh them in his palm and really make Aether struggle to keep his eyes open. He manages, but Dew is certain that it's only because of the action on screen. He thumbs over the head and the other ghoul grunts out a curse in ghoulish, a guttural sound that sends a frission of something dark down Dew's spine.
He's too focused on the fine tremors shaking Aether's belly to notice the other ghoul's arm moving, and Dew jolts when a large hand lands heavy on the back of his neck, squeezing. His cock jumps where it sits already chubby and dribbling against his thigh, filling out that much more. He lets a wanton, breathy moan drift into Aether's mind and grins to himself when that hand gets even tighter.
His grin vanishes a second later, when Dew feels a familiar crackle against his skin. He gulps.
U-uh, Aeth -
A sudden rush of quintessence floods his system, pouring into his veins and curling around every last nerve ending. It's like an electric shock of pure pleasure, one that sets his skin on fire and makes his eyes cross, and as his dick pulses hard enough to hurt Dew has no hope of holding in his choked moan.
Thankfully Aether's arm catches most of it, but Dew can't even be bothered to see if anyone else noticed. His hand has gone still on Aether's throbbing cock, pre streaming over his fingers, and he sucks air through his teeth as an aftershock hits. He shudders, pulling back just enough to give his head a useless shake. Anything to clear some of the haze. He looks up at Aether again, and this time he finds the other ghoul staring right at him.
Finish what you started.
It slithers into his head, rough and rasping. Aether's thumb caresses the side of his neck, just shy of his thrumming pulse, and another spark of power shoots through him - one that makes his balls draw up. Dew groans deep in his chest and pushes his face into Aether's arm once more.
That's cheating, he complains, nothing but token protest. Aether's eyes shine even in the dark, sparkling lavender that holds such promise.
Do it and I promise I'll lick you out tonight, Aether rumbles, rocking up into that tight fist, and as the words sink into the folds of his brain Dew whimpers.
He really hopes Aether doesn't hear it.
He doesn't respond, and Aether's attention returns to the screen. His hand still sits on the back of Dew's neck though, holding firm, and Dew wastes no time in picking up where he left off. Aether's stomach visibly clenches when he pauses to rub at the frenulum, and the pulse of want that pounds through him when Aether's forced to bite his knuckles makes Dew's head spin.
He's long since lost track of the movie, occupied entirely with making sure Aether gets everything he needs out of his favorite pair of hands. He doesn't mind - he'll get the highlights later, once he can think with something besides his dick. For now, he dedicates himself to the task at (well, in, really) hand. It only takes a few more practiced twirls of the wrist for Aether's thighs to starts quivering again, and Dew knows he's about to get exactly what he wanted.
Aether curses again, a barely audible grunt, and as his own hands fill the screen once more Dew feels him go even harder.
That's it, he encourages, focusing on the head until Aether's legs go rigid. Let me have it, Aeth, give it all to me.
Aether suddenly turns, burying his face in Dew's hair to muffle his pained groan. Dew relishes every kick of his fat cock as it shoots all over the inside of his jacket, the last of the heavy spurts drooling down his shaft and coating Dew's fingers. The little ghoul works him through it, until he's left spent, sticky and breathless.
"Fuck, Dew," he whispers, barely audible over the pounding music.
Dew hums, pulling back his messy hand and licking it clean while Aether catches his breath. He's still very aware of the hand gripping his neck. It's something of a threat, truth be told - one more pulse of quintessence and he'll be toast. Aether may he able to cum quietly, but Dew? Dew can't keep his mouth shut when it comes to the magickal stuff and they both know it.
Later, if you want, he replies, sneaking his not entirely clean hand between his own legs. Aether's fixated on the screen again already, so he risks giving himself a grope. Rubs at his aching cock through too-tight denim just enough to take some of the edge off. He shivers as a blurt of pre squirts out onto his thigh, and has to stop himself from pushing any further.
He tucks his legs under him and leans into Aether's arm again. The hand on the back of his neck tightens, and for one horrifying moment Dew thinks Aether’s about to make him embarrass himself. Instead, though, Aether moves. Wraps that strong arm around his shoulders and holds him close, and in a lull between songs he leans down to plant a kiss on Dew's temple.
"Told you this would be fun," he murmurs, nosing at the place one of his horns should be. Dew can't help his pleased hum as he leans into it.
"Hate it when you're right," he mumbles, and Aether laughs louder than he probably should. The girl two rows down turns to shush him again and Aether offers her a sheepish wave of apology. They settle in together, leaning against one another while the movie plays on.
If they show you doing your Mummy Dust thing I'm gonna cum again, Aether sends down their link, and Dew doesn't have a name for the noise he makes.

dew’s binder accidentally winds up in aurora’s load of laundry and she doesn’t know what it is at first, but damn if she doesn’t love free clothes. she wiggles into it thinking it’s one of cirrus’ cute lil tank tops but fuck it’s so tight. it barely fits her, she couldn’t imagine cirrus wearing it. when she finally gets it on she’s a little sweaty and a lot worried about how she’ll get it off but then she catches herself in the mirror. she smooths her hands down her chest. so flat. she turns to the side. her chest isn’t exactly big but this, this is totally different from how she normally looks. she wonders what it would look like with something over it. she pulls a shirt out of the basket of dryer fresh clothes. another of dew’s garments. she spots a pair of his little black calvin’s and- ok this is just dew’s laundry, oops. she puts it on anyway and wow. she looks like dew. like phantom. like mountain. sharp. angular. flat. she gets a funny buzzing feeling in her chest. could just be the compression, but she feels it everywhere, heartbeat loud in her ears as she takes stock of her reflection. she arrives at dew’s door later that day once she’s worked up the courage, bringing the laundry basket and a lot of questions.

tumblr is kicking the quality's butt, so here's at least the FIRST PIC IN BETTER QUALITY!!
About the name: Mountain and Aether took care of him when the element switch ritual happened, and he suffered a lot, but they remained by his side, so when he got better, he asked them to rename him, because he didn't feel like himself anymore and because they were by his side the whole time, he felt like only them could rename him. So he is a little sensitive about people calling him Dewdrop, because for him, Dewdrop died in the ritual room.
He lets out a very guttural growl when he wants to threaten another ghoul to indicate that the area/group/person is "his territory", if he feels threatened. (a growl identical to that of a crocodile saying that the territory is his.) Back in the pit he growled and snapped his jaw when calling for a fight, whenever a ghoul tried to harass him. As a fire ghoul he hasn't lost this habit, but he just growls and hits his tail on the ground with a heavy thud. Nowadays his growls warm him up inside, causing him to release a lot of smoke when he does growl. He also releases lots of smoke when he's overheating, since he's not putting the heat out, it's like he's cooking from the inside.
When he was a water ghoul he loved to eat ice cubes. When he was recovering from the elemental switch, that was what he did most. He still has this habit and eats twice as much ice cubes because it helps to balance his temperature, as he misses being cooler.
His hair and skin are drier now, which irritates his the burns, sometimes requiring moisturizing creams. Rain helps him take care of himself when he is very dry and doesn't realize it. He does not produce enough moisture to overcome the core's heat production, as his body was biologically not born with the fire element.
