Wait what's that? Oh that's right, I'm also a Ghost blog!

My Ghoul headcanons! With a few I've picked up from other posts. Also, spot the Avatar (James Cameron) inspired hcs. Basic hcs

Ghouls are pack creatures. They love being together, whether it's laying around together in a Ghoul Pile, playing games, or just doing tasks around the ministry.

Packs seem like giant polycules to outsiders, but they're much more complicated than that.

The Ghouls love teasing the Siblings of Sin.

They're extremely loyal to their Papa.

When on tour, they will wear enchanted amulets that shift their appearance to appear human. This has been named "glamour".

Sometimes packs will sleep in "piles". This is usually to keep bonds strong or simply for comfort.

Ghouls mate for life, partners basically bond their life forces together.

Ghouls can mate and bond with more than one individual. This can include other ghouls and humans. Biology hcs

All Ghouls have varying shades of grey skin and spaded tails (although Water Ghouls normally have fins on their tails). They also have claws on both their hands and feet, toe pads, horns, rough forked tongues, and sharp teeth.

Their tails and ears are very expressive.

Their tails are prehensile.

Water Ghouls have "ripple" or "water like" markings, usually a shade of grey darker than their skin. They also have webbed hands and feet, finned ears, and gills.

Ghouls have a superb sense of smell, sight, and hearing. Each Ghoul has their own specific scent, that all other Ghouls can smell and recognise them by. They will also memorise smells from their favourite humans (this can include human mates).

Packmates are connected to each other via telepathy. They can tap into each other's emotions, and can talk to each other through this strong connection.

Their eyes glow in the dark. They usually have a slight glow normally, but at night they're pretty bright.

Each Ghoul can tap into the magic connected to their element, or elements.

All Ghouls have a thin layer of fur on their chest, back, biceps, and down their backs to their tail.

They all go through a type of cycle, no matter their gender.

During the colder months, the thin layer of fur they have will grow thicker. It's very soft and fluffy, but dense. Although Quintessence and Air Ghouls have a thicker coat of fur all year long. Air Ghouls have the softest fur, almost cloud like in a way. While Quintessence Ghouls have coarse, stiff fur. Ghoul Scents (Prequelle and Impera Ghouls, including my OC)

Dewdrop: Wood smoke

Aether: A soft, pleasant incense. One that doesn't tickle your nose or cause you to cough

Rain: Petrichor

Swiss: Crushed rosemary

Mountain: He smells like a greenhouse: That delicous wet warmth smell

Glacier (my OC): A warm, windy day with a hint of orange

Cirrus: Ozone

Cumulus: A cold morning wind

Sunshine: Eucalyptus

Aurora: A sea breeze

Phantom: Slightly like sweet beeswax

Teeth hcs (featuring art by me)

Water Ghouls have backwards facing serrations on their fangs, making it extremely difficult for prey to escape. This is also why they don't tend to bite their partners or pack mates.

Earth Ghoul teeth are the most similar to human teeth, the main difference being their overall strength and much longer fangs.

Fire Ghoul teeth have long fangs with sharp teeth on either side of them.

Air Ghoul teeth have a lupine appearance, with sharp incisors and sharp first molars.

Quintessence Ghouls have very sharp, strong teeth that have a sort of "classic monter" look.

Multi Ghoul teeth are a mix of the elements they are connected to (symbols are a mix of all their elemental symbols).

----------- So this is my Ghoul hc master post! I'll most likely create a post about my individual Ghoul headcanons at some point. I'll also be talking about my GhostxTF2 crossover at some point!

Dewdrop, dragging a scared brother of sin into the ghouls common room: "Guys, that's my favourite brother of sin. His name is Tony. Or as I prefer to say - Toneigh!"

Rain: ...

Mountain: ...

Aether: "Just let this poor man go, Dew."

Phantom, coming into the room, seeing Tony: "Oh, hey hello, toe knee!"

- desperated crying of Tony -

Rain: "I guess, Tony thinks you're really annoying tonyight."

- absolute mental breakdown of Tony -

[sentientgolfball]

Hi i don’t care if everyone is asleep right now i NEED to share the little thoughts i had while making midnight grilled cheese

(Takes place in a timeline where Dew retires alongside Copia’s ascension to Imperator)

As much as Dew loves his music, loves touring, he thinks it’s time. It already felt off without Aether there, he does not wanna know what it feels like without Copia. He’s done the whole switching frontman act and he was not a fan. Plus there’s something he’s been wanting to do…

They’ve discussed it before, whisper in the dead of night, but it was never feasible with him and Aether touring. When Aether retired the conversation was brought up again. It stayed in the back of Dew’s mind the entire six months they were gone. Now that he’s also decided to settle he brings it up again. He thinks it’s time they finally have their kit. It’s a very long discussion with a lot of tears from both sides and a few self deprecating words from Dew, but ultimately they agree. They’ve waited long enough.

They go back and forth with the Sibling/ghoul duo who heads the nursery at the abbey for a little, just to get things in order. The day comes where Aether and Dew will head down just to visit and Dew is so nervous he’s ready to pass out. Aether is nervous too, but it translates into trying to calm Dew down. They’re both just a mess but in different ways.

Once they’re down there it’s completely different. Dew is so quiet when he sees the little piles of sleeping kits, too afraid to disturb them. The way his tail wags at their little purrs is enough to communicate how he’s feeling though. They don’t really except to find a kit that day, really just meeting them and learning their stories as the Sibling and ghoul walk them around.

That was the plan until one of the little water pups woke up crying. Dew was the closest to her and something in him told him to just…pick her up. He didn’t even stop to think about it, he just did. He’s never held a kit before and he had no idea why she was crying, so he just held her. He tucked her tight to his chest and she responded by nuzzling his nose into his neck. He nearly cried when she licked at his healed over gill scars.

Aether had never been more in love with Dew than he was right then and there. He cleared his throat before asking the Sibling and ghoul how she ended up here. He knew it didn’t matter what they said, the soft look in Dew’s eyes told him everything. But he was curious.

They told them she had been surrendered upon birth by her parent from a smaller branch of the Ministry. They weren’t given many details, just that her parent supposedly lost her mate and did not want to raise a kit on her own. She was named though before she was given up. Pearl. Her name was Pearl.

There was no better name for her. She was completely white with iridescent scales that shone when the light hit them right. The tip of her tail didn’t have a fin on it, but it was longer and thicker than an average water pup’s at that age. Same with her fangs, sharper and longer than what they should be (think leucistic/white alligator).

They decide right there that Pearl is their kit. They finish whatever paperwork the Sibling and ghoul need and the rest is history. Dew’s a little afraid he won’t be good enough, especially since he doesn’t have his water anymore, but he’d be damned if he left Pearl there. He was raised as a water ghoul so that’s not an issue, but when her element really starts to develop they may have to tap in Rain. It hurts a little he’ll never be able to really swim with his daughter though.

It makes him smile every time he thinks about it. His daughter. Aether’s daughter. Their kit. The first night she’s home in the den they kind of just stay up and watch her, the realization still setting in. Aether ends up falling asleep first. Dew promises he’ll always try his best for her and he asks her to forgive him when he inevitably fucks up. He’ll try not to fuck up. He says fuck about three more times before a very groggy Aether tells him to watch his language.

[selkiechild4998]

Back with the ghoul headcannons! But this time I’m gonna try going more in depth with the different elements the ghouls embody. Each element will get their own post and to begin, Imma talk about Quintessence Ghouls!

So the basics, Quintessence Ghouls are the healers of the Ministry, often being assigned roles such as midwives, doctors, nurses, and even counselors for the other ghouls and occasionally the humans running the Ministry. Their element is the most mysterious to the Ministry, so not much is known about them but from the records of past summons, they worked out that there are subspecies of quintessence ghouls.

First are the most common Quintessence Ghoul summoned, Moon Ghouls. Moon Ghouls are the biggest of all the Quintessence Ghouls, and also the easiest for the Ministry to handle. Omega, Aether, and Phantom are Moon Ghouls though Phantom is still growing and could be due for a growth spurt soon now that he’s in a stable environment. Moon Ghouls are fiercely loyal to who ever summons them but with a small ritual, that loyalty can be transferred to the next Papa.

Appearance wise, Moon Ghouls have more bat like traits, big leathery wings, sensitive hearing, nocturnal habits. Some are even seen using a form of echolocation. Their pack structure often follows a matriarch and inhabit the dark cave systems of the Pit, but will occasionally venture out if food gets too scarce.

Next up are Shadow Ghouls. Shadow Ghouls are far smaller than Moon Ghouls and have a bit of a rivalry with them, it being the reason not many Shadow Ghouls are summoned for the Ministry. They are also more challenging to work with, not having the same loyalties their Moon counterparts have, and if it’s a Blood Moon, yeah there will be at least one death in the Ministry.

For Shadow Ghoul’s appearances, that’s a mystery seeing they are mostly made up of a black fog like element that is in the vague shape of a ghoul. They do have the ability to take physical forms, but it’s often how the ghoul would feel in that moment. Like Moon Ghouls, Shadow Ghouls inhabit cave systems but are more solitary, not having a pack structure and only seeking company to either make kits or take down large prey items.

And the last known subspecies, and the one the Ministry has the biggest headache trying to figure out, Weaver Ghouls. The best theory is that Weaver Ghouls are the normal ghouls of each subspecies but with recessive genes, seeing they are found in both species, but are slightly more common in Moon Ghouls. They get their names from how they manipulate their element, channeling their quintessence into threads and tying them together to create web like structures.

Appearances vary the most with Weaver Ghouls, with the known ghouls who have those trait in the Ministry vary in appearances. The most drastic Weaver Ghoul they have is Omega’s father and Nihil’s Quintessence Ghoul, Tarantulas. That ghoul, though having traits of Moon Ghouls, also had strong traits of Weaver Ghouls, it mostly being his mixture of both bat and spider like traits. That boi gave the best hugs with his four arms. He also had a biting problem so often times had to wear a muzzle to keep him from chewing on furniture and doorways. As for the other Weaver Ghouls summoned, they often either took the appearance of normal Moon Ghouls or normal Shadow Ghouls.

So that was my post! By far the largest and now I have a bit of strange knowledge about Alchemy so I’m off to make this everyone’s problems! I wonder what element I’ll do next x3

[damagedghoulette]

I wrote a story.. You can read it here

It’s very hot right now so there might be a few mistakes but my brain is melting so please forgive me, the story is going to be possibly poly ghouls x ghoulette reader but her favourite is Mountain.

Possible autistic reader

Summery: Reader has been nicknamed as ‘Sister Primrose’ to avoid being called Sister Primo which would raise suspicion and put her life at risk after Primo, Secondo, Chain, River and Matron Elizabeth had spent 19 years keeping her safe and hidden from the Clergy and Sister Imperator.

[thelampisaflashlight]

Has puddles grown at all

Aether claims she is still only one ketchup packet big.

Aether is also in denial.

Ghoul oc art is yummy

[ghuleh-recs]

Do you have any Mountain/Reader and or Mountain/OC fic recs?

yesss, anon(s)! let's love on the big boy.

recs under the cut.

x OC

A Ghoul By Any Other Name - @bethbruttenholm - Mountain x OC

Our Mountain meets the girl of his dreams. A whole lotta fluff and drama ensues.

Let's See What You Like Most - @iamthecomet - Dew x Mountain x OC

A sister plays a game with her ghouls. Everyone wins. “Why are you acting like we’re done,” he whispers. She startles, her face must twist in confusion because he laughs at her, low and dark. “C’mon sister, did you think it was going to be that easy?” She shakes her head. Doesn’t understand what he wants. She’s drunk off of his smell already, wants to go to her knees for him, wants to give him whatever he’s looking for. “I don’t—” “Run,” he breathes.

Petal - @mac-and-thefox - Mountain x Swiss x OC

Amaryllis has a really terrible day. Mountain, Dew and Swiss make it all better.

x Reader

our little remedy - @gravehags - aether x mountain x reader

Two ghouls at once was unprecedented for you. But you love a challenge.

golden hour - @p1nkcanoe - mountain x reader

Mountain is an unholy creature; a ghoul summoned from the pits of Hell to serve and conform to the demands of his summoner. Equipped with a impressively massive build and ghoulish features, sharp claws, and thick horns that mirrored that of a ram, the last thing that anyone expected was his raw devotion to a mortal human being.

𖤐 you know the drill--bookmark, read, leave kudos and/or comments!

[m3tal-wh0re]

Hey chat I want to actually start doing stuff on here, so here’s my ghoul oc, Ardor. He’s a fire ghoul (he/it) and he’s mischievous, kind of freaky, friendly, and a bit of a hothead, but don’t get him mistaken because he is, aswell, a very kind and caring ghoul. I have a blog dedicated to him so if you want to follow that it’s @ask-ardor-ghoul, have fun.<3

[myriad-ghoulette]

I feel like since ghouls have glamored forms where they look more human, they'd have fake names too

(+Myriad cause why not)

Here's what I think those names would be

Swiss: Christopher (teehee Swisstopher)

Rain: Raine (very creative-)

Phantom: Bruce (Bruce Wayne-)

Dew: Drew (Literally just added one letter)

Aether: Aether (I feel like he would keep his name)

Mountain: Matt/Matthew (MatPat-)

Aurora: Aurora (Same as Aether)

Cumulus: Calliope

Cirrus: Leona (Prequelle reference・⁠∀⁠・)

Sunshine: Raia (Like sun rays-)

Myriad: Miriam

[feralghxuls]

could you tell us abt those teeth thing headcanons you mentioned in the tags? i am v interested

YES I COULD

i am SO glad you asked i love this concept very much

it's based on the way that people who work with big cats will often work with them until the animals allow them to touch their teeth, which is mainly so that they are able to do periodic examinations and so they won't flip out if they need dental work or something like that, but it's also a huge show of trust between animal and handler

for simplicity's sake, i'll go through the ghouls with the idea that it's copia or terzo doing this, with some extras for those who have notably different responses to other ghouls doing this rather than their papa

headcanons about ghouls getting their teefies examined under the cut!

aether is a very good boy, his ears go down a little when copia approaches him with the intent of touching his teeth, but he opens right up when asked and will hold still for as long as he needs to. but he will be whining softly in the back of his throat the whole time, and when he's done he looks a little bit like he's going to cry. it's very stressful for him but he Will Do It when asked

cirrus does not like it AT ALL. copia was shocked when he asked her to open up for him the first time and she pinned her ears and growled at him. he tried to be placating, explaining that it's necessary, but she wasn't having it. they had to call in backup (mountain) to hold her still and even then she was still shrieking and squalling like she's being killed. copia had to learn how to be very quick about it, and the second cirrus gets to have her teeth back she shakes it off and acts like nothing happened at all (only cumulus and mountain have any chance at touching her teeth without it being a full-on fight for their lives)

cumulus is very cooperative! she kinda really loves it actually, she already has her mouth wide open and teeth bared for examining before copia even gets close enough to touch, all ^.^ cause she knows she's got good teeth and that the others aren't quite as willing. and also, she'll never admit it but she likes the attention and the praise when copia says her teeth are surprisingly much sharper than they look (he definitely nicked his fingers the first time and she kissed it better)

dew is...temperamental, to no one's surprise. when copia approaches to examine his teeth, the phrase "if looks could kill" still doesn't scratch the surface of the death glare dew gives him. he scowls and growls and resists when copia slips his thumb into the side of his mouth, but he's surprisingly patient once he's in there. dew won't allow it forever, so copia has to be pretty quick about it or he definitely will lose fingers. there's also plenty of times when dew straight up refuses, and they have to call in aether or rain to pry his mouth open and hold him still

with terzo he was a little more willing, partly because terzo spent the whole time telling him how pretty and sharp his teeth are & he took pride in that. it took several months before he allowed terzo to touch his teeth though, and even longer with copia

mountain keeps up a low, terrifying growl the entire time copia approaches, ears pinned and everything, but the second copia starts to reach for his mouth he opens it himself rather than having to be made to open up. he still keeps up that growl but surprisingly, he's willing to hold still for as long as copia wants to poke around in there (after copia figured that part out, there was one time he spent quite a while, absolutely fascinated by how sharp mountain's molars are and his sets of long double canines)

rain doesn't like this at all. he will cooperate, because he respects and trusts copia, and he won't growl or anything but his mouth does start to slowly close down the longer copia takes, a subtle threat to hurry the fuck up or lose a finger. there's been a few close calls where copia wasn't paying enough attention (too focused on all the little razor sharp needle teeth between rain's canines and how it kinda looks like he's got two rows...) and had to jerk his hand back at the last second. as soon as copia's done, rain skitters off to go recover from the whole ordeal. swiss has special teeth touching privileges though, and rain accepts this from him with great affection.

swiss is surprisingly squirmy about it. he wants to be good, he really does, but there's just something about the feeling of fingers on his teeth that he really can't stand. especially when copia rubs across his molars, he's accidentally bitten down on him before (not enough to draw blood, and he apologized abundantly after, but. oops. copia is more gentle in the future). he definitely clings to copia's arm while his hand is in his mouth, and his tail is a damn weapon to anyone within range. copia wishes he could spend more time looking at swiss's teeth though, because he, like mountain, also has double canines, the outside ones not quite as long as mountain's but just as sharp. when he is done, he steps back and licks over his teeth & lips like a dog who's just been given a spoonful of peanut butter (which copia privately thinks its fricken adorable)

stratus likes to snap her teeth as copia approaches, but she's also grinning like a little imp. she thinks it's funny how he flinches a little and pretends like he doesn't, but when it comes down to it she opens wide and even pulls her tongue out of the way for him. but it's a bit of a trap; she won't fully chomp down on him, but she does gnaw on his hand while he's trying to feel around in her mouth. mostly she doesn't draw blood, but she does have lots of sharp little teeth like a kitten, so it happens on accident. don't worry though, she always licks it better (no matter how many times copia gently tries to explain to her that the healing properties of ghoul saliva doesn't really work on humans)

BONUS

alpha will absolutely refuse to let terzo anywhere near his mouth, except to bite him. (that's his story, anyway. they'll take it to their graves but he does let terzo check his teeth as long as there's absolutely no chance anyone else is anywhere nearby). he puts up a good fight with secondo but eventually relents, because secondo doesn't hesitate to get mean as fuck about it. and he doesn't get a choice with primo. with primo, he hardly gets the chance to think about it, the old man is extremely spry and very good at lulling alpha into the false complacency with conversation, and then he springs it on alpha and the whole thing is over before he even processes what happened.

(and just for shits and giggles, and because i have been talking about them lately: he growls and glares the whole time when swiss pries his mouth open, putting up a good front. but he always lets swiss poke around in his mouth for as long as he wants and he always opens up on the first ask. (this wasn't true the first time, or several times after that; he put up a good fight but swiss eventually won, because he always does))

omega is a good boy for terzo and only terzo. even then he still resists a little, tipping his head up out of reach until terzo reaches up to slip his thumb into the corner of his mouth, and once he gets his mouth open, he's very good and patient, doesn't even whine like aether. with secondo, he definitely resists a bit more, tossing his head around even as he verbally agrees to open up, he won't at first. again though, good boy once his mouth is open. primo asks him once, and barely gives him the chance to answer before he does the same thing he does to alpha, quick as a damn snake and it's over before he knows it. though sometimes primo will spend a while exploring inside his mouth, he mostly is just very deft and professional about it.

ifrit is the goodest boy. he loves having his teeth examined and likes to follow terzo's fingers around in his mouth with his tongue, fascinated to feel what terzo is feeling. he always asks if he passed after, and terzo smiles at him and says his teeth are in excellent form as always. sometimes he tracks down his bestie swisstopher and just goes :V at him until swiss pokes around in his mouth and ifrit purrs at him the whole time. he loves it.

mist is okay with it, you have to catch her in the right mood (which terzo has terrible luck with). he learned quickly that if she's not having it, it's best to give up and try again later because he's liable to lose half his fingers and his bassist if he pushes it. if she is in a cooperative mood though, she's still not exactly nice about it. she gives him a nasty side-eye the whole time and barely opens her mouth wide enough for him to get a couple fingers in there. however, she almost always will let omega into her mouth, so terzo mostly just lets him handle that. they have a weird relationship, built on high levels of mutual respect while also keeping each other in check & being unafraid to call each other on their shit.

chAir is an absolute monster if anyone but ifrit tries to open his mouth, and even then he Grumbles and growls about how ridiculous and demeaning this is. ifrit just shrugs and keeps at it, says it's important and has to be done, a ghoul's teeth are vital organs. to which chAir scoffs and mutters something about doubting whether or not ifrit would even know if anything is amiss if he thinks teeth are organs. (ifrit and chAir also have a strange relationship, in which ifrit adores chAir and chAir is a grumpy old man who begrudgingly accepts ifrit's affections)

terzo tries to insist that his human dentist knows what they're doing, but omega insists he hush and let him look. he is fascinated by terzo's blunt molars and his tiny, cute little canines, and spends quite some time running his fingertips over the smooth edges of his teeth until terzo's jaw aches.

copia thinks it's very sweet of his ghouls to try to check his teeth, but he also has a dentist and can they please do this one at a time and not four of them at once. mountain wants to know how his eensy flat molars chew anything at all, stratus says that he ought to sharpen his teeth more often and is puzzled when copia explains that it doesn't work like that. swiss spends a while prodding at the sharpest edges he can find and laments that he can't get any of them to prick his fingertips, and how it must be difficult for copia to live like this, unable to bite his partners effectively. dew thinks copia is doing this for attention (he also wants to poke around in copia's mouth, but he'll never admit it).
