🔊Yapping about my Cirrus/Copia/Aether delusions and y’all are forced to listen 🔊 [ part 1 ]

At some point i promised thoughts and delusions about whatever I am on atm so here it is. I am so deep in the trenches about this ship, this is like a general train of thought ive had for them and their dynamic, how things worked out, what is going on all that. This is up until Copia becomes Papa, I will make a second post with the rest :)

[Some things in here are definitely not at all supported by the lore, this is mostly me being delusional and straight up making shit up and playing with my barbie dolls so 🙌🏻]’

Also!!! If you are looking for like fluff, healthy headcanons about fictional relationships, this might not be the post for you! They are quite toxic and I think exploring toxic people and toxic relationships is very interesting, so just keep that in mind :)

-Cirrus imprints on him as soon as he summons her, idk why, she just does

-she is totally infatuated with, they are glued together most of the time and she takes a lot of tasks and responsibilities off his shoulders. She worships that man physically and spiritually bro

-they do start out as just friends, they have a lot in common and spend A LOT of time together. They have similar personalities, in group settings they seem more reserved and quiet but when they are amongst themselves they usually get loud and passionate about whatever they are talking about

-Copia is sort of confused by ghoul dynamics and finds them hard to navigate/doesnt know how to properly insert himself into the group/what boundaries he should be aware of etc, while cirrus is nervous about overstepping and scaring him off

-they sort of naturally just…develop into something more. They spend more time together, they have really intimate conversations and share a lot with each other, touches linger longer, physical boundaries are non existent.

-theres no official start to them ‘dating’, their bond is just extremely strong and it develops into that direction and they dont really hesitate when it comes to going further

-ghoul dynamics are sort of poly by default. The ghouls all mingle with each other, some have stronger bonds ( cirrus and cumulus are very very close, later her and aether as well)

-BUT cirrus is very territorial. She is very protective and can get very condescending when it comes to her bond with copia. she gets jealous easily when he spends time with the other ghouls.

-cirrus is still actively involved with the other ghouls, it comes natural, but she gets very bothered when anyone but her is close to copia

-the other ghouls are….irritated with this for sure

-Cirrus is sort of stuck in the middle. She feels like she has little to no control over her jealousy when it comes to copia, but on the other hand she feels very self conscious about how the other ghouls perceive her in that context.

-Copia is super aware that she is totally codependent. He can tell its having an impact on her dynamic with the other ghouls and he knows its a bad look on himself to have a ghoul tend to all of his needs 24/7. But he doesn’t do anything about it because he enjoys being the center of attention.

-Cirrus is assigned other tasks with a handful of other ghouls when the Rat MV incident occurs ( I talked about this on my copia reference sheet).

-the only ghouls shooting the MV with copia are dewdrop, mountain and swiss (idc if this isnt accurate my house my rules) and cirrus has a normal reaction and doesnt overreact at all ( she completely crashes out. )

-Copia is send to the infirmary for treatment and cirrus is not allowed to see him ( higher clergy administration generally doesnt care about ghouls beyond their use and purpose. Cirrus doesnt work in the infirmary, so she has no business being there. Copia is not Papa at this point, so he does not really have a say in the matter either. )

-The only way Cirrus can get an update on Copias condition is through Aether ( Aether works in the hospital wing because he has very strong quintessence magic and is overall responsible and reliable )

-Aether and Cirrus have been close before, but they grow super close here

-they genuinely really like each other, they are similar in character, they have the same humor and they enjoy the same things

-Aether loves Cirrus, he thinks shes pretty (🥴🥴😳😳) and responsible. He admires how strong minded and passionate she is. He can also see that Cirrus bottles up a lot, she takes up a lot of responsibilities and doesn’t share when something is too much for her. Because she seems like a reliable person, the other ghouls rarely ask how shes actually doing.

-Aether comforts her a lot and they spend a lot of time together

-when Copia gets out, Cirrus is devastated by his injury. He uses crutches and is in a lot of pain and she totally blames herself for not being there when it happened and for not taking care of him right after the accident.

-Cirrus totally takes over, she makes sure Copia doesnt have to lift a finger, shes mad with worry and shes scared hes gonna break if she doesnt do literally everything for him

-Copia thinks its endearing, but at the same time he is frustrated. He definitely gets a little stir crazy and irritated that she doesnt allow him to do his usual work.

-They definitely get into it a little bit, Copia is trying to make her understand that shes smothering him, hes not as fragile as she makes him feel

-Cirrus like, gets it and she feels bad but at the same time she totally feels like shes losing control and losing him when shes not up in his business 24/7

-Aether spends a lot of time with both of them, he does physical therapy with Copia, infuses his joints with quintessence and in general is there to help him get back on his feet

-Cirrus and Aeth have gotten super super close and Copia expresses he would be happy to welcome Aether into whatever they have

-Cirrus is like. Shes ok with it. She likes Aether so much and she knows realistically this is a great dynamic. They would work well as a trio. Copia gets along with both of them.

-BUT she is so so jealous already, shes fuming inside, her guts hurt thinking about sharing him but she still agrees because she wants Aether to be with the both of them. She is so torn between her rational love for Aether, and being completely devoted to Copia at the same time. It shouldnt be hard to let him in but she is just never able to find any balance.

-So they let Aether into their situationship and it works well. He balances out the dynamic Cirrus and Copia have. Aether is a little more casual than Cirrus for sure, he doesnt obsess as much.

-Cirrus has like. Rules. She has rules in place for boundaries and rules Aether has to respect in the relationship. They only apply to his dynamic with Copia though and Aether is obviously frustrated with her. Cirrus and Aether usually communicate well, they communicate like 2 sane adults, but when it comes to Copia, Cirrus needs to be in control, she needs to oversee everything and it drives Aether nuts.

-Copia does admit to Aether that those rules didnt exactly come from him, but he also never stops Cirrus from making them, because he likes being treated like her little trophy that she doesnt want to share and he also loves her too much to make her upset by denying her the control she needs

-its obviously very inconsiderate and makes Aether feel like hes third wheeling a little bit, but Aether is a people pleaser, he does what hes told to make the people around him happy, so he goes along with it.

-once copia recovers they sort of all go back to relative normalcy. He uses a cane permanently now, definitely lost some mobility and is forced to be way more sedentary.

-He really doesnt mind it. He has been under a lot of pressure from everyone, about everything. How much he works, how he looks, what he does and now everyone is finally giving him more grace.

-he tries to give himself more grace too, he tries to be nicer to himself, he's still pretty bothered about how much or little he works, what he accomplishes etc but he's less bothered by...like himself

-he's always worried and anxious but Aether and Cirrus make him feel good about the way he looks and thinks. He gains some weight and its healthy relationship and recovery weight.

-Cirrus is like, in pain with him, she knows its a change for him that is hard on him and she does everything she can to make him feel better and take care of him

-BUT (and she feels horrible about this) its easier to keep him close to her this way. He relies on her way more now and she enjoys it. And she knows she shouldnt.

-Her and Aether rarely get into fights. They both always tough it out when they have a problem and then find softness and comfort in each other again.

I think this is all for now, at some point I will make a part 2.

Sometimes. You just gotta imagine you’re in bed, physically, mentally, and emotionally tired. Easy thing to do. But then the hard part comes in where you have to make Copia’s dialogue accurate to his speaking patterns.

Like he might not sound so totally, completely sage — he’s still learning to accept things, too, and struggles just like every other person. And he’s never been the best at translating sensitive thoughts on the fly anyhow. So it can be a bit jarring to think of him agreeing, but it’ll be done in his own way: “Yeah. Yeah, this moment sucks. The here and now sucks major, heavy, unwashed balls.”

You might even want to laugh a bit at it but everything just feels so exhausting, you can barely muster anything besides just laying there. He doesn’t mind. And if you don’t mind it, he’ll reach into the blankets and pull out your hand, holding it in his own. Clasped between them. It’s warm, given the gloves.

“I know you don’t want to be here in this moment,” sounds okay enough to come from him, so you let that stick. You may fumble a few times, trying to find the right words but as exhaustion begins to overtake you, you settle on something you think you can live with:

“Life is like that. We both know this. But I promise you: I won’t let you be in this moment alone. Okay?”

Okay.

Okay.

It’s not fun, it’s not great, it’s not even good.

But it’s okay.

And when you get the strength to get out of bed, the impression of his gloved hand holding your bare one still in your mind, you’ll move forward. It can still okay. But maybe once you gather your bearings, it could be good.

But for now, this sucks. And this is okay.

Fuck Donald Trump, forever and always. Hell would be too good for him or any other fascist.

If you are on my page and you support him or any of his filthy, dickless cronies: I want you to fill your pockets with bricks, and walk into the ocean. Please film it as well. Nothing would make me happier than watching a fascist drown.

Fascists deserve nothing except for the one constant in this world: death.

Now is the time we fight for humanity like we’ve never fought before. We will not go gently, and we will not be forgotten. Do not let them discourage you from fighting for what is right, or they will have already won.

I have all of you in my thoughts today, and every other day. Remember that you are cherished, and you are stronger than you are led to believe.

Going into 2023, I had genuinely great friends I would dick around with every night. It was like 2 or 4 people I was constantly yapping with. During this time one of them got me really into the band Ghost, which is still one of my favourite bands. The piece of Copia actually had a matching Terzo piece, both posted on my instagram. The plague doctor character is actually an OC inspired by the bands lore! And that werewolf guy is just a an OC that's an accountant connected to some lore in a server that doesnt exist anymore.

Woe upon ye *Ghouls your papa*

i saw serpentineillusions ghoul Copia drawing and i got really inspired :3

the colors clash with the outfits but i wasnt gonna color swap em and i was trying to make it work for my own ghoul design rules

Closeups/headcanons:

I'd think if they were ghouls, they'd be fairly powerful multi ghouls, hence the multiple horns, also copia and terzo have wings though you cant really see them here

also i gave them silly names. see if you can guess the pattern

Miasma

I had 18th & 19th century depictions of Miasma theory in mind when I drew this. And I fancied trying to draw Papa Copia's original face.

I really didn't know if I was going to post this or not... Tried some different colour grading and techniques and I'm not convinced it looks any good.
