Take a break, this cute tardigrade needs time to cross your dash:

I just think that new ghouls struggle with things topside.

Before Phantom’s first show, Dew claps him on the shoulder and whispers something to him before walking away.

Mountain finds Phantom crying and shaking, eyes wide and full of fear. Lip quivering.

Mountain: “What’s wrong bug? What happened??” He asks, worried for their newest pack member.

Phantom: “Dew hates me!” He wails, crying into Mountain’s vest. Claws digging in.

Mountain: “Why do you think that? What did he say?”

Phantom: hiccuping… “He… told me to…. Break a leg…” another sob “Why would he do that??”

Mountain: (trying very hard not to laugh)… “Oh bug… I know how it sounds but it’s a good thing.. it means he hopes you do well tonight.” He pauses - “it means good luck! Dew doesn’t hate you!”

Phantom: wiping tears and snot on Mountain’s vest “He wants me to break my leg?” those big lavender eyes look up at him.

Mountain: “No! It’s just a saying… and now that I’m explaining it - it does sound really bad and is absolutely stupid to say to someone.”

Mountain gestures over to Rain passing Phantom off while he excuses himself with a quick “I’ll be right back..”

A few minutes later…

“OW! what the fuck, Mount….”

Mountain reappears with Dew in tow.

Dew: “Hey Phantom, I’m sorry for upsetting you.. I don’t want you to break your leg.. I was just trying to wish you good luck at your first show. It’s just what we say….”

Phantom: still sniffling, holding onto Rain, “Why can’t we just say good luck”?

Dew/Rain/Mountain: look at each other and crack up.

Dew: still laughing. “You’re gonna be just fine kid.”

On their way to the stage, Papa slows to whisper to Phantom… “Break a leg, eh?”

Papa still can’t figure out why the three older ghouls pounced on him, but no one in the audience missed how papa’s hair was askew for the first half of the show or how Phantom took the stage like a pro.

"he's right behind me isn't he?"

Dew, walking into the living room: "Hey, cosmic twink, can you, like, send me the title of the video you wanted me to watch instead of the link?" Aeon, confused: "Huh? But the link brings you directly to the video." Dew: "I know, I know, just humor me here, okay?" Aeon, typing out the name, sends it: "Better?" Dew, leaving the room: "Much." Aeon, looking at Rain: "I don't get it." Rain, shrugging: "Dew has this thing where he doesn't like receiving links, blame being a computer geek for so long, he'd rather find things on his own or something... I dunno." -stretches- "He won't even use the smart speaker in the kitchen. He keeps trying to throw it out." Dew, from down the hallway: "IT'S AN ANGEL SENT FROM HEAVEN TO SPY ON US!" Aeon: "...I feel like I've heard that before, but, like, about us." Rain: "He does say that a lot-"

Ghouls should be unsettling agenda

Power outage, time for ink drawing of Rain by candle

[starling-ghoul]

Maybe it's not him in the mirror anymore...

Its the nose, it's such a distinct part of the face and his changed so drastically...

[starling-ghoul]

He’s a cutie patootie and he knows it

Please gods stop giving me health issues and I could be one of your strongest soldiers

Rain taking Dew for his first post-element change swim in the lake.

Dew's still weak and unwell from the change, so Rain floats on his back with Dew's back to his chest, just holding him as they float around the lake.

Dew falls asleep like that, the first good sleep he's had in a while.

thinking about ghouls succumbing to their elements

pebble corroding into nothing but a statue

ivy sprouting roots, trapped in the very greenhouse they tended to

chain and lake no longer able to resist the pull of the moon, of the water. sinking down to the deepest depths, no one can say for certain if they’re even still topside, the most ever heard about them anymore is when siblings swear they hear the calls of a siren, only to go missing days later

delta desperate to escape the water ghouls cycle, now a quintessence ghoul, less contained than they had ever been before. wasting away in a completely new way

dew, whose mates fear his fire will one day burn out. he looks after everyone else so well, but never takes time for himself

zephyrs body that’s wasting away in a completely different way, becoming more and more frail with no real wings to support them
