Ghouls at the Aquarium

Headcanons about the ghouls at the aquarium. Inspired by a trip to the Shed Aquarium in Chicago. Had to shout it out because it was so frickin amazing. No one ask me my favorite exhibit because I will say all of them. But also definitely the belugas and the jellyfish.

Cirrus: She loves the dolphins. As serious and strict as she sometimes is, she’s like a kid at Christmas when the group reaches the dolphin enclosure. She admires how smart they are as well as how sleek they look darting through the water. And yes she knows what little shits they can be and she doesn't care. She still thinks they’re neat. She plans the day around making sure to catch the dolphin show at least twice. Cumulus buys her a dolphin plushie and she just about melts into a happy puddle.

Cumulus: As much as Cirrus loves dolphins, Cumulus loves beluga whales. She thinks they look majestic. And huggable. She would hug one if she could. The rest of the girls booked a behind the scenes beluga experience for her and they got to see them up close, feed them, and even pet them. By the end of it they’re all giggling at how cute the beluga’s are.

Sunshine: She thinks the lionfish are neat and likes how their spines look like sunbursts. Kinda sad that they’re an invasive species but understands why work to remove them from the wrong areas is important for the marine ecosystem. Gets a postcard from the gift shop with a picture of one to put in her room.

Aurora: She spent a solid half an hour sitting in front of the moon jellyfish tank watching them. It was one of those circular tanks that have a slight current to gently cause the jellies to drift in a circle. That and the color changing light had her mesmerized. She would have spent longer watching them but the others literally pulled her away so she could see the rest of the aquarium.

Dewdrop: He wasn't too sure about it at first. The aquarium kind of dredged up some melancholy and yearning for his water ghoul days. He's happy as a fire ghoul for sure, it suits him better. He definitely misses his water though. Fortunately he warms up to it; seeing how excited Rain and Phantom are playing a big part. He can’t help but crack a smile when Phantom starts mimicking the penguins. He ends up loving the eels and the caimans. Joins Rain in naming all this fish, offering increasingly unhinged suggestions.

Rain: His unglamoured form is pretty sharklike so it's not surprising that Rain has a fondness for sharks. The pile of shark plushies on his bed definitely isn’t a tip off either. Besides the sharks, Rain likes pretty much every exhibit. He gives silly names to every fish that catches his eye with help from Dew and discusses which fish would taste the best with Swiss much to the horror of the other patrons.

Mountain: He really likes the sea dragons because they look like plants. He didn’t know they were a thing until seeing them at the aquarium for the first time. Also really interested in the aquatic plants (of course) and the frogs and turtles.

Aether: He really likes the manta rays. He thinks they’re so cute. Loves how it looks like they’re flying through the water. Way too excited about getting to pet them but it's endearing.

Swiss: Phantom actually saw the piranhas before Swiss did, took one look between the two of them and dubbed them cousins. Swiss did not help his case by immediately baring his teeth in a grin. He then proceeded to chase Phantom around the room threatening to nibble on him while Phantom giggled. That is until Cirrus put a stop to that so they didn’t get kicked out.

Phantom: Loves absolutely everything but also the penguins and starfish. He asks the staff a million questions and they’re happy to answer every one. Leaves the gift shop with a stack of books on ocean facts that he and Rain end up reading aloud the whole ride home.

[forlorn-crows]

to expand upon this post (how mountain and rain absolutely take apart each member of their pack as a team)

i just think mountain and rain are the perfect ghouls to team up and absolutely ruin others in the best ways possible

fyi: cunt/tentacle dick/clit for transmasc rain, cock/dick for transfemme sunny

aether's easy. almost too easy. will go weak in the knees for some sweet words from mountain, a well placed fondle from rain. they lay him down so they can lavish his entire body, one on either side. rain spends his time between aethers legs, especially sucking on his balls, mountain spends his time kissing him breathless. aether likes mountain to fill him while rain ruts his little dick against him. and he'll really keen if rain brings his tentacle out to play. he never lasts long between the two of them

aeon brings out mean rain. a firm hand to push him around, usually wrapped around aeon's throat. rain will ride him into oblivion while mountain feels rain up, slicking up his big cock next to rains hip. a tease. aeon doesnt get to touch. but he's expected to keep hard until the both of them are spent. aeon likes when mountain holds him down: his wrists, his torso, maybe keep his legs nice and spread so rain can reach back and play with his hole. sometimes rain will fuck him from the back with his tentacle while aeon's made to gag on mountains cock until he tears up. they do, of course, make use of his flexibility.

aurora. well, we know she's a size queen. and a feisty gal. mountain loves to go down on her and grab her tits with his big hands while she leans back on rain. mountain always, without fail, has to promise her that yes, they'll fill her up, and yes, she should stop running her mouth before rain takes care of that for her. sometimes she likes to eat rain out while mountain fucks her, or she lets them put her in weird positions, whatever they want. throw her around like she weighs an ounce, and she's giggling with delight. she's a squirter. mountain loves that

cirrus can take a little bit of working up. you may think she's miss domme all the time but between these two (or under swiss, lbh) she's not. she likes her boys for their fingers, and they will ruin her with them. rain's cool ones in her mouth, around her neck, playing with her nipples, her clit. mountain's grabbing her ass, shoved up her cunt, fisted in her hair. she likes when rain rubs his little dick on her too. mountain likes to kneel over her and make her jerk him off, and either her or rain sticks their fingers in his ass. he always ends up melted against her, rutting through her folds while he growls into the crook of her neck. rain takes the other side and works her up all over again with his filthy mouth. mountain will lick his cum off her cunt and make her cum one last time

cumulus gets nothing but lovin from these boys. they can be mean to her, certainly, and on rare occasions they do. but they prefer to woo her with soft touches, kisses all over her hot skin. lots of kisses actually, her lips are always soft and mountain and rain cant get enough of them. they especially like to take her apart by sucking on a tit each, staring up at her hungrily while they let their hands wander down. mountain often times has her sit on his face, rain may or may not ride his cock at the same time. cumulus faces him so they can kiss and whine into each other's mouths. they like to spoon fuck too, mountain at her back filling her up, and rain facing her in front either rubbing her clit with his fingers or letting his tentacle suck her off while he humps at her pretty thighs.

dew also gets a lot of sweetness too. rain and mountain hold a special place in his heart, so them together make him feel good and whole. taken care of on a little bit deeper level. he's probably the most diverse, getting the softest of the soft to the meanest of the mean. it really just depends on the day. guaranteed is neck kissing, hair grabbing/pulling, petnames. dew loves petnames. they make him blush. sometimes mountain will ride him, really make him feel small beneath his weight, while rain fucks his ass with his tentacle. he's the one mountain and rain like to take their time with. they could spend an entire day together. dew will cum more than once. and yes, these are the three biggest pissboys.

sunshine is fun. spunky like aurora, but easy like aether. she's always game to get between them. (i do hc them as a complimentary throuple. nature trio.) they like the leadup with sunshine, teasing her until shes super worked up, or taking a languid bath together until they inevitably get handsy. mountain likes when she asks to fuck him, rabbit quick and begging for him to let her cum while rain lies behind her and licks at her hole. prepping her for either of them. mountain really likes to have her in his lap, cock buried in her hole, rain melted to her back while he reaches around to make her cock squirt all over mountain's belly. she likes when they make her get loud.

swiss. oh swiss. he likes the whiplash of tones between them. mountain leaning towards the soft and loving, rain leaning towards the rough and mean. we all know swiss will do anything for rain, but the cognitive dissonance of mountain whispering praises into his ear is delicious. he likes when they manhandle him though, make him take. he likes to run his mouth, as he usually does, but rain can rival it pretty easily. mountain has been known to sit behind swiss and clamp his hand over his mouth while rain fucks him with his tentacle and mountain reaches around to jerk him off until his eyes cross, rutting his big dick between swiss' cheeks

so uh. yeah. mountrain running a train on everyone.

Random ghoul Headcanon 2

Dew hates sleeping alone. Ever since he was summoned he’s hated it and he doesn’t know why. He normally ends up snuggled up with aether in his nest but he has been known to fall asleep on mountains chest like a little cat.

Mountain is like them big dogs that think they’re really small. He doesn’t even realise how big he is and you will end up with a lap full of giant ghoul.

All ghouls can see in the dark. They have the same reflective eyes as cats do.

Copia once got the ghouls catnip as a sort of prank/joke present. It was less of a joke when the ghouls went absolutely feral over it. He’s getting them all some more for Christmas.

Swiss and aether go absolutely ham in ikea. They’re not allowed to go unsupervised anymore.

Cumulus licks the incense sticks they use for rituals. Nobody knows she does this.

Aether has an impressive collection of awful dad shirts. And they really are ugly. He tries to get on from each country they’ve visited. Mountain and Swiss steal them sometimes.

Rain eats salt right out the tub. Sometime he’ll pour it into a bowl and add water to make saltwater cereal.

When dew was first summoned he was really scared, especially of sleeping, so copia gave him a plushie. It was one of the ikea rats that someone gave him as a joke and he half expected dew to toss it aside like he had done but dew became really protective over the little thing. He slept with every night. If it ever went missing he’d flip out. He still sleeps with it sometimes. Copia did the same with sunshine when she was first summoned but with a blanket. She still sleeps with wrapped around her.

Candles are banned from the ghouls den because Swiss was caught drinking the melted wax. He got cumulus to join him but she never got caught.

Copia very quickly learnt that the ghouls loved laser pens. They have no idea where the little red light comes from and will chase it around for hours. He once put a disco ball up in the den thinking it would work the same. It was even better. He walked into the den to see all the ghouls spinning in circles trying to chase a specific reflection while crashing into each other. It was a mess. No chores got done that day.

Ghouls can’t get drunk on regular human alcohol so mountain makes it for them. It’s strong enough to get even the biggest ghoul off their face. He also grows weed.

Aether always keeps a hair tie in his wrist for dew. He knows his hair gets in his face sometimes and bothers him but he never had a hair tie with him so aether keeps one for him.

Cirrus and dew both have their nipples pierced. Cirrus has bars and dew has rings. They’ve gotten them stuck together more then once. Mountain laughed so hard trying to untangle them he had to get rain to help him. Rain was no help.

Mountain is terrified of rabbits. He runs to cirrus for comfort whenever he sees one.

Swiss loves working in the nursery. He loves babies and thinks human babies are fascinating. The feeling is mutual the babies love him just as much.

Mountain currently reading twilight to dew upon dew’s request. They’ve made it into new moon. Dew got so mad that “Edward would leave Bella to a dog” he nearly set the book on fire. They’re both team Edward.

Most of the ghouls are early riser's, often rising with the sun. Except rain and cumulus. They can both sleep forever if you’d let them.they’re often found still curled up together asleep at midday. They’re often the last ones to leave the bed or the nest.

Ghoul favorite food HC 👀

thank you anon for the ask!! (THIS TOOK FOREVER PARTS OF THE DRAFT KEPT GETTING DELETED AND I ALMOST THREW MY PHONE AT THE WALL!!!)

———————————————————————

The Nameless Ghouls and their favourite foods!!

Aether

• BANANAS!!!!

•He definitely has a sweet tooth, more leaning towards natural sugars than artificial sugars but either he loves.

•Aether is most likely to be caught in the ghoul’s kitchen shoveling grated cheese into his mouth at an unholy (heh) hour at the night.

•Even though he loooooves bananas, he despises banana flavored candy.

Mountain

•He will absolutely fuck up a caeser salad. If you were to give him a salad on a paper plate he would get too excited and eat the plate too. :’)

•Like other Earth Ghouls he is a vegetarian of course.

Rain

•Just like Copia he absolutely loves pasta, from ravioli to rigatoni to fettuccine he will absolutely fuck up whatever pasta you put in front of him. He will inhale any noodles within the ministry grounds, whether they’re cooked or not.

•You know how wolves get territorial over well, territory? Rain gets territorial over pasta. He once pushed Sodo down a flight of stairs when he found out he ate his almost week old spaghetti.

•Rain is quite the talented chef, hanging around Terzo when he was cooking he managed to get some lessons from the former Papa. Days when he misses Terzo the most he’ll cook some of the meals he was first taught how to make, just to reminisce on the memories and feel closer to him.

Sodo

•He loves spicy and sour food, or anything with some kick for that matter, but he has some of the most sensitive tastebuds out of the ghouls, hell, even out of everyone in the ministry.

•Whenever he does eat spicy food, he always has a glass of milk nearby, despite Cirrus telling him that its better for him to drink water.

•Sometimes he uses sour candy to ground himself whenever he’s especially stressed, whether it be one of the ghouls that’s getting on his nerves, or touring he always keeps a bag of sour patch kids with him, or for more stressful times of the year he’ll keep some warheads in his pockets.

•In terms of cooking? He cannot cook. Sodo has almost burnt down the ministry a couple times trying to cook. Did he once he make cupcakes that were so burnt that they made Rain throw up? We’ll never know. 🤫

Swiss

•Swiss isn’t exactly picky when it comes to food, he’ll most likely eat anything you put in front of him.

•Although he’s fine with all food, he has a special place in his heart for international food, it could be sushi, ramen, mole, enchiladas, paella, or pad thai, but when he’s done eating it he might take a couple bites of the plate too.

•He can cook very well, being able to make some of the meals listed above. Learning some of his best recipes from Rain he always tries to linger around the kitchen when the water ghoul is cooking, just to get more ideas and what not.

Cumulus

•Like Aether she has one of the biggest sweet tooth of the group, having a particular love for chocolate. She looooooves chocolate waffles not really caring whether they’re pre made or not.

•She is incredible at making desserts, especially cookies. It’s like taking a bite of heaven (ironically). As much as she doesn’t make them, Sodo and Aether are big fans of her mexican wedding cookies.

•Just like Special Ghoul brings toys, she makes pastries and goodies for the orphans in the ministry, bringing them year round. She’ll sometimes bring Copia to tell the kids some of his lighthearted stories from his time in the orphanage.

Cirrus

•She’s a big lover of seafood, her two favourite dishes being salmon patties and tuna melts.

•Although she is an air ghoul she does love restaurants or anything for that matter by the sea. Cirrus thinks it’s very relaxing to just enjoy the ocean because how it’s an entirely different world just a few miles out.

•This ghoulette is mainly in charge of keeping Sodo out of the kitchen to prevent any disasters that may or may not burn down the ministry.

Hope you enjoyed anon and whoever else is reading this! Happy late new years! <3 (once again sorry for how long this took)

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Ghouls x reader who likes back/shoulder tickles(I think that’s a way to describe it?) They’re really relaxing

I wasn't quite sure what you meant, so I wrote for a couple of different sensation types. Hope this is what you're looking for! :)

Era V Ghouls With S/O Who Loves Gentle Shoulder Touches

When it comes to physical affection you've got the jack pot with the majority of ghouls! Physical touch is a regular and needed pack behavior when it comes to bonding. So ghouls ALWAYS love snuggling or grooming each other.

Cirrus: Prefers to give touches rather than receive them, so this works out for you both. She has a lovely way of mindlessly running her claws along your shoulders and spine- very gently tracing over each shape on your body. Most of the time she doesn't realize she's doing it. Is more likely to do so when you are around others, because it's her unconscious way of knowing she can protect you and claim you as HER partner.

Cumulus: Thinks it's adorable the way you always melt under her touch. She tends to especially tickle your shoulders and back when you are anxious or stressed out. It's her go to when you both cuddle and try to sleep. It works every time to get you to sleep!

Sunshine: They adore doing this for you! But... they also love getting the same shoulder scritches! So now you both have the best hug ritual when your in the mood for it. You and Sunshine will hold each other while facing, and then use both hands to tickle each others backs. It's some of the best cuddling you've ever had!

Swiss: Be careful what you wish for because he will actually try to tickle you! But he'll switch between trying to tickle you for real to get you laughing, or just doing the light scritches to relax you. Swiss is very big on touch, especially after a long day. So he's happy to go between soothing and playful. Whichever makes you happiest in the moment!

Mountain: Doesn't really use his finger tips or claws to caress your shoulders. He actually does this thing where he will gently ball up his fist and use his knuckles to slowly stroke around your back. It's soothing and like getting a massage when each of his knuckles find those spots under your shoulder blade and get all the tenseness out!

Aether: The king of any and all types of soothing physical touch! He knows EXACTLY how to move his hands over your back and shoulders for the best relaxation. Aether knows how to use his finger tips so it still tickles, but also gets the best pressure to not be too rough. His hands are magical and he has always put you to sleep tracing your back!

Rain: Another ghoul who absolutely wants the favor returned. Typically, you two will sit shoulder to shoulder while you hang out with the others. Each of you with an arm bent behind the other's back as you give each other shoulder rubs. You tend to like a more tickling sensation, and Rain prefers more of a scritching on his back.

Ember/Sodo: Unintentionally leaves more scratches than he means to. He constantly does the same thing a comfortable cat does- accidentally stick his claws out when he's just trying to make biscuits. It's very good when you have an itch at least! Ember is getting better at using less of his nails when he tries to tickle your shoulders the more he does it!

[dailydoseofghoulettes]

thinking once more about how the ghoulettes respectively go about destroying y/n with a strap. self-indulgent rambling below.

i talked a while back on discord about how they absolutely have collections of toys that they can and will use on you and mY STATEMENT STILL STANDS. cirrus and cumulus have the biggest collections, aurora has one or two go-to glow-in-the-dark ones because she finds it hilarious to have a wall of glowing penises light up the room whenever she turns out the light.

cumulus has a pretty light blue cock that she favors, tapered nicely so that it slides in easily enough but leaves you reeling and full to the brim. loves to have you in the lotus position or really any pose where she can see your face melt with pleasure. i feel she's usually quite soft about topping you, adores pressing kisses all over your face, petting your hair, making sure you know how beautiful you are stretched around her, how well you're taking it!

cirrus's favorites are... a little bit intimidating. like, she has one with a knot that rivals mountain's, and they're long-- long enough to have you paling a little as she drapes it across your abdomen for the first time and seeing just how far it would reach inside you. i mean, are you sure that's even going to fit, you find yourself asking, but the moment she smiles at you you know she's going to find a way to make it fit. and oh boy, does she. one hour of stretching you out with her tongue and fingers later, you're astride her lap as she leans back against the sofa, your eyes glazing over as the fat tip slides inside you, and it's quite frankly a miracle how you're able to stay upright. she'll watch you slide down each agonizing inch of her, eyes dancing with amusement and arousal, until you collapse against her chest, trembling and mewling and trying desperately not to come from the stretch alone. oh how cirrus would love to flip you on your back and fuck you within an inch of your sanity then and there, but where's the fun in it if you don't work for it first?

aurora has a tried-and-true ribbed strap that's blue at the base and fades to a vibrant purple, which she finds very on brand. adores putting you in a mating press, there's something about looming over you and having you all bent up and positioned just right to receive her cum that just drives her absolutely crazy-- also, yeah, that thing's got a cumtube too, which she's very liberal about using. probably also the most casual about fucking you where someone might walk in out of all of them,, favors having you up against a wall with your legs around her waist in that case. loves to show off her strength.

The Ghouls and how they feel about you cuddling the Copia Plush

✨ft. My photo✨

Ps. I've only ever written for Dew before so, I apologize if they seem out of character. And if things are repetitive, it's 3am and I'm so tired.

Warnings: there are slight sexual undertones for Rain but that's it

Dew

How he feels: Dew gets severely jealous. This demon will hide the plush when you're not home--places like up the chimney, under the bed, in the cabinet behind the food you haven't touched for months. He's tempted to destroy it, but he knows it means a lot to you, so he'll just keep on hiding it. For now.

How he deals: When Dew finds you cuddling the plush, he growls a little bit and huffs around. He throws a little demon temper tantrum until you put the plushie away and pull him into your arms instead. Even then, his tail still swats and hits the bed, hard, showing he's still angry regardless of his purring.

Mountain

How he feels: Mountain couldn't really care less. He doesn't mind the plush at all, albeit it's a tad bit creepy and he hates to wake up at 3am to see it staring at him when all your tossing and turning shifts it his way. He smiles at your enthusiasm though, silently basking in the joy it brings you.

How he deals: when he finds you cuddling with the plushie, Mountain can't help but break out in a confused smile. What is happening? "Is that.. Copia?" You'd nod, ready to hear what he's about to say but he just chuckles and shakes his head. "You're adorable. I'm next for a cuddle session, though."

Cirrus

How she feels: This woman thinks it's absolutely adorable that you cuddle a plushie version of her boss. She knows how much he and she and the band mean to you, so she doesn't say anything against it. Even if it is a bit silly to see, she loves how happy you are regardless.

How she deals: When she walks in on you cuddling the plushie for the first time, she had to leave the room to avoid blushing so hard. It was such a sweet scene, your eyes were closed and you had a small smile on your face. She felt her ears turn pink as she walked back into the room just to watch you as you slept and hugged the little red monster closer to your chest.

Rain

How he feels: Rain would rather a little version of his boss wasn't on the bed he likes to do... hellish things to you on... but as long as the copia plush is not in the bed when he wants to pounce, he's fine with it being there. He's jealous, yes. Will he admit it? Never. He would also much rather you have a plushie of himself...

How he deals: When he first sees you and the copia plush, he walks straight past you and to the dresser. Then does a double take-- "What is that?" You answer him innocently, hugging the plushie closer as you close your eyes. "Did I let you get that lonely? I'm sorry baby... wait, why didn't you get one of me?"

Swiss

How he feels: Anything you enjoy, he enjoys. He's called the multi-ghoul for a reason, and he's up for anything! Especially adding an extra special little guy to your cuddle sessions. He thinks it's sweet you have a reminder in the safety of your bed of his band, even if it isn't specifically him in your bed.

How he deals: The first time he sees you cuddling with the plush, he audibly "awe"s, and puts his hands up to his face dramatically. "You're so damn cute, look at that thing." He sits down beside you on the bed and brushes some hair from your face, leaning down to kiss your forehead before turning to the plush. "Don't go stealing my partner, boss."

Cumulus

How she feels: She thinks the plushie is mighty cute, and will occasionally borrow it for a cuddle session if you're away--mainly because it reminds her of you. And it smells like you since it's your comfort toy. She has no problem with you cuddling him, she thinks it's quite adorable.

How she deals: First time the ghoulette finds you cuddling copia plush? Her tail wags happily and she climbs in bed with you. Her long nails make work combing through your hair, helping you relax. She's such a sweetheart, she melts at the blissful expression you wear as you sleep with the lil guy in your arms.

Aether

How he feels: Aether... yeah, he already has one. But now there are two and you're cuddling with both? He's happy that you like it, and he's even happier that there's a new addition to the overflowing plushie collection he has!

How he deals: He jumps in bed, and big spoons the three of ya. His tail wraps around you and he hides his face in the nape of your neck, wrapping his hands around to hold you AND the two copia plushies in his arms. Is he purring? He's purring <3

Sunshine

How she feels: Sunshine is... indifferent? She doesn't mind one way or another, but she definitely doesn't think it's cute. It's... certainly interesting. And the fact that you cuddle and sleep with him is a little silly, she'll admit. She thinks it's sweet that you show enough interest in her band, especially one of her good friends and boss-- Copia.

How she deals: She wouldn't be caught dead cuddling the thing, but she absolutely tucks it in when she leaves for the day. What? It makes you feel nice when you get home!  When she first finds you cuddling it, she's a bit confused as to what ball of bright red yarn you were holding, but seeing how ecstatic you were to have gotten him, she just smiled and gave you a kiss. "Well, I mean, if you like him..."

[copias-thrall]

Can the Ghouls control when they react to certain things like cats? Do any of the siblings enable or purposely make the ghouls do feline things? because I would absolutely put little cat toys everywhere for them

Can the Ghouls control how they react? Yes. Do they want to? No.

They enjoy getting scritched behind the horns and they could refrain from purring but why would they want to? It feels good and let’s you know to keep going. Besides, most of the Siblings find it kind of relaxing to pet a good Ghoul and have them purr.

They could also control the swish of their tail if they wanted to, but it’s just another form of communication to them, and they’re not going to clam up and filter how they feel. What do you take them for? Humans?

Copia has tried to teach them to at least not hiss in annoyance at the Siblings with varied success. Dewdrop just melted the spray bottle end Rain found it refreshing. They have at least learned to only scratch and bite each other (unless you ask for it, of course and then they’re more than happy to mark you up).

If they see a warm patch of sun, they’re going to lie down on it because it’s warm and reminds them of hellfire, so Primo has known to keep little patches of his garden plant-free. Around noon you can always see a pile of Ghouls sunning themselves lazily. If you’re OK with being petted and cuddled, humans are free to join in!

Tag is one of their favorite games because it reminds them of the chase and they will never not join a game when they see you playing. (You will absolutely catch Dewdrop in the nursery playing Monster with all the kits.) Running away from a singular Ghoul is a good way to signal interest, but a group of Siblings running away from a group of Ghouls is just a good way to start a game of freeze tag.

As for toys…

Look, you’re going to get Ghouls like Aether or Cirrus & Cumulus who look at the toy and want to pounce on it, but instead they’ll pick it up and take it back to the room to play with.

And then you get the Ghouls like Dew or Swiss who will just immediately jump on it and roll around with it and bat it at each other. They’re a bad influence on Sunshine who looks at them like, “We can do that?” and then the older Ghoulettes have to take her aside.

Rain will actually save them so he can toss them around the common room later and watch the rest of the pack chase after them.

Mountain will only play with ones he hasn’t seen before; he has a trophy shelf like a collector and he’s always on the lookout for shiny, new toys.

And they absolutely know who is leaving them about—they can smell you on them—so don’t be surprised if sometimes you open the door to find a hopeful Ghoul looking for a new toy to play with!

[ghoulish-fiction]

Not sure if you received this before but what kind of lover would each ghouls be? (Hopeless romantic, etc) have a nice day!

It took me some time to think about this one. I finally had to call it good enough because I was seriously overthinking it. Anyway, enjoy! Thank you for the well wishes, and I hope you have a nice day too! 🖤

Cut for length.

Edit: tiny bit of NSFW. Literally just mentions sex lol.

Swiss is a very passionate lover. He loves you loudly and proudly and deeply. He will excitedly show you off any chance he gets and he loves to talk about you. When alone he will tell you how much he loves you, and he shows it by spending lots of quality time together.

Rain is passionate too, but in a quieter, subtler way. While Swiss loves to make his love obvious and seen, Rain shows his love and devotion in little ways. He carries your photo with him everywhere he goes when on tour. He talks about you so lovingly if anyone asks about you. He can't start the day without telling you good morning and the last thing he does every night is to tell you goodnight.

Aether's love is domestic, protective, and warm. He wants to be a provider, he wants to show his love by taking care of you. He loves to be home with you doing things like cooking or working on a project or just hanging out and being silly together. When out in public he likes to keep you close, often keeping a hand on your back, just to know you're near and safe and having a good time.

Dewdrop's love is just as unpredictable as he is. When you first got to know him, you thought he hated you because he was always so angry and wouldn't speak to you, but one day he showed up at your door confessing his admiration of you and somehow you wound up in bed together having the hottest sex of your life and after that the two of you were inseparable. He is emotional and doesn't mask his feelings well at all around you now that you've gotten to know him, even though he thinks he does, so you see easily how much he loves you, even if he sometimes has odd ways of showing it.

Mountain's love is quiet and deep and private. He won't talk about you. In fact some people will know him for ages and be surprised he has had a lover all this time. But when its just the two of you, he's an absolute fool for you. He melts at your touch. He is always looking at you so fondly. He wants to just be in your presence. He doesn't actually speak much to the people in his life, except for you. He will speak so softly to you, asking all about your day, talking about future plans, telling you how much you mean to him and how much he loves you.

Cumulus's love is gentle and sweet. She shows her love with kind words and gestures. Everywhere you go together she wants to hold your hand. At home she is very cuddly. All the ghouls practice magic, but she will make handy spells for you to help you out in your day to day life. She will always be the first to compliment you. If you need a pep talk Cumulus is your girl because she will tell you every wonderful thing she sees in you and then she will tell you how much she loves you and how important you are to her.

Cirrus is sweet and caring, but lacks the gentle touch Cumulus has. She will hype you up and make you believe that you can do anything, and anyone who says differently risks getting their ass kicked by Cirrus. She is very physically affectionate, but not in the softest or safest way. She will stalk you around the house and literally pounce on you to cuddle you when the time is right. She will pin you to the counter or wall to kiss you and tell you how much she loves you.

Julie had been gazing at the sky for hours now. The warmth of midday had long drawn away and it was now starting to get dark. She had noted all of the shapes she had seen in the clouds in her notebook: a butterfly, a chair, a house, an ice cream cone, and many more. She had sworn she had seen a rainbow somewhere in the distance, but it hadn’t rained in some time. 

The clock at the center of town chimed and Julie jumped with a start, she hadn’t realized it was 6 o’clock already. She grabbed her phone, bag, and notebook before unlocking the combination lock on her bike and taking it off the rack. 

Riding back to her house, she kept noting clouds, scissors, a guitar, and a light bulb, before seeing an airplane soar overhead. She passed many shops along the way, waving to her classmates as they studied outside of a cafe. Already, she knew the way back to her house: left, right, left, left, stop sign, past Carries gated house, and down two hills. Julie pulled into the driveway, tossed her bike on the ground, unlocked the red front door, and ran up the stairs. Her bedroom door whipped open and she dropped all over her stuff on her desk unceremoniously before sitting down at her computer.

It was 6:23. 

She sighed and threw her head back, realizing she had missed the premiere of her favorite show, hopefully it would be uploaded to YouTube soon. She got up and watered the plants on her windowsill before she heard a loud bang from below.

Julie opened her curtains and looked down to see her neighbor and friend fixing their fence. The divider had long been in disrepair, but no one really cared enough to fix it. Yanking open the window she yelled down, “Flynn! Why are you, of all people, doing housework?” She had known Flynn long enough to know that the other girl wouldn’t do anything requiring physical work if her life depended on it.

Flynn looked up and waved, her cornrows whipping around her face, “Hey! You’re back!” She dropped the hammer, narrowly avoiding her sneaker clad food, seeming to forget about her work, “I’ll be right up.” 

After moving a few months ago, Julie had become quick friends with Flynn when she realized that their bedroom windows faced each other. At first, it had been a little weird; Julie could see almost all of Flynn’s blue room if her curtains were open, and she was sure the same went for her. But after they got over the initial awkwardness, the two were like super glue.  They would spend all day chatting about nothing and everything. Flynn had turned out to be one of Julie’s saving graces; she was caring and was always supportive of whatever she wanted to pursue. Julie pulled her silver desk chair to her window and waited until Flynn had done the same.

“You were out all day and you didn’t bring me back a slice of cake from Tia’s Bakery? I missed my brother's baseball game for that!” Flynn laughed, propping her feet on the windowsill. 

Julie rolled her eyes, “That wasn’t the first thing on my mind as I rushed out the door this morning. Anyways, the frosting would have melted, it’s not as if I carry around a refrigerator.” 

Her phone rang loudly, her ringtone “Grenade” by Bruno Mars filling the space. She silenced it, already knowing that she didn’t want to talk to the caller at the moment. Her face dropped; every day she dreaded the conversation, not because of the caller, but because of the situation.

She shook her head, wishing the thoughts away before racing to get her twine tied notebook and pencil that she brought with her to the park. She tossed them over the gap between the houses to Flynn, who opened it and started reading today’s findings aloud.

“Football, dog, lion,” Her brows furrowed, “Superman? Are you sure? Or did you just really wish it was?” A smirk pulled at her lips. 

“Maybe it could have been a bird or a plane, but you never know.” Julie shrugged. 

Suddenly, Flynn’s eyebrows shot to the sky. She jumped up and rushed to grab a sheet of paper from her book bag, “Oh! Oh! Look! Look at this!” She waved it around wildly and jumped around, almost too fast for Julie to see, but she did make out the big red 97 on it.

Julie shot up from her chair, almost tripping, “Your math test! Oh my god! You aced it! I knew you would!”

“Only because you,” Flynn pointed at her, “Helped me with polynomials after I talked your ears off!” 

Julie rolled her eyes, but had an ear splitting grin “Yeah, yeah, you would have gotten it eventually, you just needed a little push.”

After calming down, the two then launched into conversations about their days until it was too dark to see each other. They would bounce off each other with flying force, her father had said it was impossible to keep up.

Flynn’s family had arrived home and she had to leave, promising to talk tomorrow morning as she gave Julie back her notebook. Julie picked up her phone, calling her silenced call back. He picked up after the first ring.

“I was wondering how long it’d be before you got back to me.” The other person said. 

Julie smiled sadly as she started tidying up her room, “I wouldn’t miss it for the world, Luke.” 

Ever since she moved, her and her best friend had promised to call each other everyday and report on the shapes of the clouds they saw. Some of her favorite memories were of her and Luke spending hours laying in the grass, just wasting time. Maybe it was an attempt to hold on to each other, even when she was half way around the country. Clouds were something that stayed the same, yet always changed. 

“What shapes did you see today?”

She heard a rustling of paper over the speaker, “I saw a couple ghosts, a pair of pants, a school building, and a car. I didn’t really get a chance to look too much today.” He replied. She could imagine him dragging his finger across the page; a habit he never broke after elementary school

Julie laughed, “A school building, not just any other building? Not a factory? Not an office?”

“No, no, no, it was specifically a school. It was dark and gloomy and somehow square. You would have said the same thing.”

“I somehow doubt that.” Julie moved to flop down on her bed, she sat for a second, thinking about what she would have seen in the so-called school cloud. She suddenly became more homesick than ever; she wished she could have been there, with Luke.

She wished she could be anywhere with Luke, she thought. Her face flushed as she pushed the thought away. They sat in a comfortable silence for some time.

Luke cleared his throat, “How’d Flynn’s test go?”

Julie grinned as she shot up, sitting straight up on her bed, “She killed it! Stabbed-it-in-the-heart killed it, set-fire-to-it killed it, absolutely bulldozed it!” She grabbed a pillow and hugged it. Julie appreciated that Luke listened to her about her new friends, but he rarely talked about his friends. 

“Of course she did, with a math wiz like you to help, how could she not!” He snorted, “Although should we start worrying about all of those violent metaphors?”

“I think we should be more worried that I have metaphors.” Julie’s smile turned into a wince. Sometimes she didn’t think before she spoke; probably a trait she picked up from Luke. 

Luke groaned, “What does that even mean? At least it’s nice to know that your bad comebacks haven’t changed.” He paused, hesitant, almost as if he knew what he was about to ask already had an answer. 

“Have you played any music yet?”

He was right, they both already knew the answer to the question.

“No.” 

Julie hugged the pillow tighter to her.

There was no explanation, none was needed.

There was a pause as Julie changed the subject and picked at the loose strings on her pillow. “I went to the park for most of the day, like we used to do. The weather was nice enough, kinda chilly, and I probably saw more shapes than I could count. You probably would have seen so much more. You were always more imaginative.” 

Luke chuckled, she knew he was rolling his eyes, “We both know that’s not true. We work best as a team, even if we are 2,789 miles apart.”

Julie had wanted to tell him that she wished she could go back home, even for a day, but she knew it would have only made things worse. She would end up crying again and he, ever wonderful, would comfort her, saying that they’d see each other soon. They both knew that was a lie. She didn’t know if she’d ever see Luke again. 

She heard the door open downstairs as her father came back from work. “I gotta go, you’ll call tomorrow?” She rushed out and hopped off of her bed, throwing her pillow down.

“Yeah, always.” He replied, she could hear his soft smile. Keeping with their routine, he said, “I’ll see you soon.” 

“I’ll see you soon.” She sighed.

The ghouls seeing you upset-

Rain: He’ll be the one begging you to talk about it. He wants to know every little detail about how you’re feeling and why, mainly to try and figure out how best to help- if at all. He hates seeing you cry, so if there are tears involved, consider him destroyed. He would do literally anything for you at that point, just say the word and he’ll be whatever you need.

Mountain: Very much the type to try and distract you. Of course, if you tell him that you need something different, he’ll try his best to do whatever you think will help most. Usually, though, he’s just going to do what he can to take your mind off of it. Basically, if you’re feeling down, get ready for a bunch of your favorite couples activities (mostly cuddling.)

Aether: He’s super attentive, so he notices almost immediately that something is wrong- that is, assuming he’s not there to witness whatever it is that sets you off to begin with. He might try to take the problem into his own hands if he can, and if you’ll let him. He uses your pet names like 10x as frequently when you’re upset. Not at all in a condescending way, he just wants to casually express his affection for you as much as possible when he sees that you’re in a vulnerable position.

Dewdrop: It lowkey takes all that he has, but he’s going to give you your space at first. He’s not the most verbally expressive, so there’s a very good chance of you misinterpreting this as him not knowing about- or shying away from- whatever the issue is. You don’t want to make him uncomfortable, so you might try to just deal with it on your own. He’ll only ask you about it when he realizes that it’s taking you way too long to come to him yourself. At first you brush him off, trying to convince him that nothing’s wrong. He just tilts his head and stares at you for a minute. Without a word, he slowly holds out his arms. You barely have the time to process what’s happening before you’re melting into his embrace. Again, he has to force himself to dial it back, finally managing to pull himself away from you after almost an hour of holding you steady. He may not be the best with words, but he more than makes up for it in his own way.

Swiss/Multi: His aim is just going to be to make you smile. He’ll be telling stupid jokes for HOURS if he thinks it’ll cheer you up, even a little bit. Like, this guy is as unpredictable as they come, but if there’s one thing you can count on it’s that he’s the biggest softie for you when you need it the most. His goofball gene really kicks in and he just generally makes an ass out of himself, but in the best way possible. When you finally need him to take things seriously, it’s a near instant switch. He’ll be somberly hanging on every word that leaves your mouth.

Cumulus: Probably going to try and confront the person responsible. If there isn’t anyone to confront, she’ll confront the problem instead. If there’s nothing she can do, she might lose her cool for a little bit. There’s nothing she hates more than not having control over her circumstances, and when you’re in a relationship with Cumulus your circumstances are undeniably her own. Simply put, when she sees you struggling, she wants to take on the struggle for you- and it absolutely kills her when she can’t.

Cirrus: She’s a hardcore empath, so she’ll be just as distressed as you are. For this reason, she has a huge fear of getting too involved and overstepping her boundaries with you, so she keeps her distance. She’ll start taking care of the little stuff for you, making dinner and things like that, so that you can give the situation your full attention. Really she’ll baby the hell out of you. On top of that, she’ll set up a big romantic gesture so that the two of you can celebrate when you’re finally feeling better.

Request :: Reacting to their S/O’s past trauma

Papa Nihil - This Papa will easily understand how trauma can affect one’s own actions and how it sticks with you for the remainder of your life. He’s seen many, many things in his very long lifespan, so when things take a serious turn in your own life, he knows just what to say, and anecdotes to tell to help make the situation easier on you through everything.

Papa I - Papa I will give you all the time you need to express yourself and what’s bothering you. Even if you don’t want to say anything at all he will understand. He’s learned that sometimes silence can be better than talking in certain circumstances. Not one for excessive PDA, he’ll hold your hand lovingly but would never push you aside if you needed more.

Papa II - All personal boundaries are put aside when Papa II realizes you’re having a difficult time processing a traumatic event or when past ones rear their nasty heads. He’ll give you a shoulder to cry on, and a tight embrace to hide within if needed that will remain until *you* say you are OK. He has a way with words, so with his velvety tone, he’ll lull you back into a sense of centeredness once more.

Papa III - Will drop everything to comfort you in your time of need. This Papa will rush to your side and protect you from anything, even if that thing is your own mind. He’s the first one to notice that you’re acting differently than your normal self. Should you shed any tears, he’ll catch them before they fall from your cheeks.

Copia - He’ll fuss for a moment, but only because he’s trying to decide on the best thing to do for your benefit. Once he calms down, he makes everything about you. He’ll hang on your every word, he’ll hold you for hours on end, all of it done without complaint or need of praise. You are his world, and he would stop time for you if he could.  

Aether - Prepare for being absolutely smothered by this ghoul. Since you’re the most special being in his universe, you are always his top priority. You’ll be buried deep within his arms; the sound of his heartbeat being the thing that calms you the most. He’ll run his fingers through your hair until you’re asleep and at peace.

Dew - Your sorrowful tale instantly melts this ghoul’s heart. Although he doesn’t immediately rush to your side, initially, he makes sure you’re ready for comforting affection. It starts with a hand on your shoulder, then after your reassurance, he brings you close into himself. He can sense your pain and does his hardest to take as much of it as he can from you. If you’re feeling down, then who will make him happy?

Rain - He’s scared that he won’t be able to help you because he doesn’t feel like he knows what to do in this kind of circumstance. Rain knows what he would want if he were you, so he sets off to do just that. Grabbing the heaviest blanket he can find, he drags it to wherever you are and wraps you up tight before throwing himself around you, all swaddled up and cozy. He’ll kiss away your tears till he sees you smile again. He doesn’t care how long it takes.

Mountain - He tries to reach out to you, but pulls back after his help seems to fail. In an act of desperation, he hurries to draw you a relaxing bath. Once the water is just right, he scoops you up and helps undress you, silently. Once you’re submerged, he pulls up a chair and begins to read to you a collection of love poetry, looking up at you often to wipe away any stray tears with his thumb.

Swiss - Feeling a deep sense of anger after hearing who wronged you to this point, Swiss instantly realizes that your emotional comfort is the only thing that matters. After he’s helped you stopped any crying that you might have been doing, he tries his best to make you laugh; anything to get your mind off the hardships. Be prepared for countless shimmies and wiggles! No expense will be spared! None.

Cumulus - At first she can’t understand how someone could do this to you of all people, then lets that thought go so that she can help you to move on. Taking your head in her hands, you two lock eyes and feel the comforting warmth coming from her aura. She understands you without needing any more words spoken on the subject. Her embrace is strong and she encourages you to lean on her for however long you need. She will always be right beside you, no matter what.

Cirrus - This Ghoulette will have you lay your head on her lap while she runs her hand up and down your arm. She’ll never judge you for your emotions, or anything you’re going through, as she understands completely. To help you, she’ll tell you a story of something she’s gone through and how she came back stronger. She looks to empower you but still wants you to know that nothing that you’re doing is wrong in any way. You know your heart better than anyone.

I know this was a long one guys, but I didn’t know how to do it any other way. Shout out to my friend @irl-dewdrop for the suggestion! I hope you all enjoy it!

Ceraunophilia: Chapter One

Ceraunophilia: Love of lightning and thunder

A/n: In honor of Rise of The Guardians and my rekindling love for the fandom, I’m writing a fanfic!! Hope any of you who read it enjoy, I’m going to work really hard on it! It’s Pitch x oc, and a slowburn at that! 

Wind. So much damn wind.

Elissa growls and spits hair that flew into her mouth out. “How much longer till we’re out of the headwind?” She barks from the top deck of the ship.

“2 klicks, ma’am!” Garrison shouts. “No more, no less.”

She frowns and jumps down to main deck. “Winsen, Mallary, tighten up the wings!” Elissa orders. “We don’t want the winds pushing us back!”

“Yes, ma’am!” The two men nod, already folding up the fin-like sails.

Elissa, having enough of her wild mane, ties it back. This wind shouldn’t be so strong. They weren’t even over the strait anymore.

She leans on the mast and looks around at the clouds. The wings on the sides that are normally flaring out are now tied back, the wind sliding past. The propeller at the front works overtime, loudly chopping through the air.

At any rate, this gale could knock The Eurus right out of the sky.

Lightning harvesting is a hard business. Storms are unpredictable and rough. If your airship was just the slightest bit off par, it will drop altitude faster than a fly. Storage itself was rough. Keeping the lightning contained was one of the hardest parts of harvesting, as it itself if chaotic and hazardous, fatal if something goes wrong.

It’s a wonder Elissa has been in business for over a century.

The wind grows fiercer, battering the hull so hard, it rocked the ship. “Garris, don’t you dare crash my ship!” Elissa yells, eyes dry. 

“Doing the best I can,” The pilot shouts back.

The wind snaps, the crew huddling close to each other or the sides for warmth and stability. 

Elissa pushes her way up the stairs, covering her face with her hand. “Carnet, lock up the rations, I’m going to bed!”

The quartermaster looks up and frowns. “Elise, don’t you want to stay awake in case we fly over the Sandman?”

“I’ve been up since 3 am,” She waves him off. “I can’t stand anymore of this wind.” She begins to push her door in, eyes narrow.

“Captain, we’re nearing a storm,” Garrison exclaims. “A pretty one at that.”

Elissa spins around. “How much time do we have to prepare?” She asks.

“Maybe another 4 klicks? Maybe 5.”

“I want all hands at the ready, release the nets and string up the cages!” She reaches for a rope and tosses it to a crew member. “I want three jars this time! We’ll port at the next wall.” Elissa cracks her neck and looks over to a man wearing a dark duster and with eyes to match. “Marcus,” She whistles, “Keep the crew in line and make sure they do as they’re ordered. I’m going to bed.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Marcus nods and barks out orders. Elissa rolls her shoulders and stretches her back as she makes her way up the stairs back to her quarters.

The door opens and closes. Elissa takes her hair out and shakes it, getting the water droplets out of her hair and onto the walls. She yawns and drops onto her fold up, stretching out on the furs that lined the mattress and closes her eyes, falling asleep with her hand hanging off the bed.

Something touches her wrist.

Elissa jolts awake and whips out a silver pistol, intricate engravings detailing the shining revolver. “Who’s there?” She barks.

No answer.

She narrows her eyes and grabs a lighter. Flicking the small wheel to ignite the flame, Elissa moves her hand around, lighting up the shadows. “I’m not going to deal with shadows tonight,” She hisses. “Come out where I can see you.”

Still, no answer.

Elissa lowers the lighter, snapping the cap back on. She drops her arm, setting it aside. “Stars above, I’m getting paranoid.”

The sun shines through the huge sails and fins of the ship, clouds below the bow and surround the entire boat.

Elissa smiles, one hand gripping the shroud, the other hanging by her side. She leans over the edge of the ship, watching the clouds as they roll past. 

“Lovely day to go sun surfing, isn’t it, Captain?” A crew member shouts with a smile.

“It sure is, Dennen. It sure is,” Elissa grins and jumps down. “Anyone seen my board? I should check the sail before I go,” she asks and looks around.

“Below deck?” The red headed Carnet asks.

“Checked,” Elissa puts a hand on her hip and taps her foot. 

“What about the bunks?”

“Checked there too.”

“Storage roo-”

“Checked, double checked and checked again,” Elissa glares at him and huffs. She looks at the deck and purses her lips. “Where can it be?” She murmurs to herself.

“Have you tried the closet?” Another crewman asks.

Elissa looks up and snaps her fingers. “Nope.” She tips her head, “Thanks, Charles.” She opens up the board entrance, climbing down and walking to the small closet meant for holding basic supplies, such as a broom, mop and towels.

 Elissa opens the closet door, pushing back buckets and towels. “Dammit.”

“Not in there either, is it?”

Elissa whips around, pulling out her sword and pressing the tip at the person’s throat. “Make one move and I’ll slice your throat,” she spits, narrowing her eyes.

The man jumps back, shadows messing up his silhouette. “Not a pleasant crowd, is it?” he murmurs.

Just barely, Elissa could make out his features. His face was thin and long, his cheeks prominent and his nose gives him a hawk-like look. His hair is black, like the rest of him. If anything, she’d say his entire body was black, or close to it. On closer look, she could see that the black was really a robe, or...something. A coat, maybe. His skin, though, is gray like ash.

The only color on him was the ring around his pupils. A gold color, almost resembling those dreaded solar eclipses that messed up schedules every time they occurred.

She narrows her eyes and takes two steps towards him, again, pressing the end of her blade to his throat. “I know who you are,” she growls. “You damned childhood nightmare.”

The man’s shock turns to a smirk and he laughs. “Oh good, I was afraid you wouldn’t recognize me,” He chuckles and stands with his hands behind his back.

“What do you want, Pitch?” Elissa narrows her eyes.

Pitch pushes her sword away from his throat with one finger. “I came with an offer,” he claims.

“I don’t want it.”

“I have leverage.”

“YOU STOLE MY BOARD?!”

Elissa raises her blade and slashes. Pitch melts into shadows as her blade comes down. She snarls and turns, cutting across where his chest would be. He moved again.

“All this fuss over a little board?” Pitch asks, reappearing from the shadows. He leans on a long surf board like structure with a folded up fin, the color of storm clouds at their finest.

Elissa sneers and shifts her weight to one leg. “Can I just have my Cumulus back?” She asks and drops her sword.

 “Of course,” Pitch smiles sincerely, but quickly turns malicious. “If.”

“If?” Elissa sheathes her sword and crosses her arms. “If what?”

Pitch sets the board aside and stands in front of the captain. “If you help me with something.”

“Being?”

He gestures to her. “You are the captain of a lightning harvester, are you not?”

She raises an eyebrow. “Yes? What’s your point.”

“You know me,” Pitch shrugs with a playful smirk. “I prey on fear. And kids, at one point or another, are absolutely terrified of thunder storms. Storms which you follow and collect from.”

“Yeah,” Elissa tightens her lips. “Kids are. But it ain’t my job to cause storms, I just gather up lightning.”

“Ah,” Pitch points at her, “But you know where they are. I don’t. I can only follow fear, and that in itself is hard to track.”

“You’re just in it for a quick energy boost.”

“You get what you get.”

Elissa scrunches up her nose. “And what do I get out of this?”

Pitch looks up for a few moments, in thought. “What do you get out of this?” he smirks. “Recognition.”

Elissa’s eyes light up. 

“Just imagine how much praise and respect you would get if everyone knew you were working with the boogeyman,” He grins. “No one would bother you.”

“But that’s half the fun,” She smirks. “What’s the point in sailing if you have no competition.”

“You and your crew would be as rich as kings.”

Elissa lifts her head up. “And what about the Guardians?” She asks. This makes Pitch’s face drop into a scowl. “What would happen when they find out that I’m working with their mortal enemy?”

“Do you think that would matter?” Pitch growls. “They wouldn’t even be able to touch you.”

Elissa narrows her eyes. “I would lose customers if they knew the Guardians would be on their tails. So sorry, but no dice.” She pulls her gun on him and stands sideways. Pitch jumps back, eyes wide. “Word’s gotten around quickly, Pitch, and everyone knows you’re a manipulative little bastard.” Elissa flicks the hammer down. “Now get off my ship.”

Pitch walks back into the shadows, eyes hurt but face turned into a fierce snarl. His form becomes lost in the shadows, and leaves Elissa alone in the darkness of the ship’s hold.

She lowers her gun and sighs.

On one hand, power, recognition, becoming untouchable.

On the other, she would lose her business, and the Guardians would always be in her way, keeping constant tabs on her and never leaving her or her ship alone.

She could never set foot in Vale again, let alone be called to the face of the Court.

Elissa growls, turns and grabs her board, walking back up to the main deck.

A/n: god, I haven’t written a new fanfic in forever! It feels nice to get back onto the laptop to write :D This fanfic is going to be long, and I want to expand more on the world of Rotg and Goc. I’ll probz be able to get three chapters in by this week to get the ball rolling and all, so hope you can enjoy reading this first chapter!

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

oh, how bout some fluffy HCs with the ghoul/ettes reaction to their S/O quietly singing lullabies and love songs to them while they're cuddling and gently petting them to sleep

eFLUFF YOU SAID, FRIENDO? You got it! <3 I hope you enjoy some Era IV goodness! 

Era IV Ghouls with Their S/O cuddling and singing to them to Sleep

Ember: Is unashamed to admit he loves getting to cuddle even if he is a complete brat about it. While Ember much rather get into OTHER physical deeds, he’s not going to say no to some soft time. But he will get on your nervous about it by pretending to be difficult. Ember will want to roll around and change positions many times before you can convince him to stay still. The easiest way you’ve done this? Playing with his hair. Once you get your hands on his hair does he start to relax. Ember might grumble about how dumb he looks with braids but will whine if you stop making them. His eyes don’t start to get heavy until you start to sing. 

Aether: Aether absolutely adores any excuse to nap AND have you in each other’s arms! when you mention you’re in the mood to cuddle he nearly belly flops on top of you to get into bed! There’s no escape from an Aether bear hug once you promise a night of snuggles! Aether is a very handsy ghoul with you because he just loves to be in your embrace. So singing to him only makes the entire mood that much better! Aether loves to play with your hands gently when you sing to him, only stopping if you rub around his horns and ears (his favorite spots!) After your songs, if he is even awake, Aether gives you a small round of applause. He loves to compliment your singing. Always makes the same joke. “If I wasn’t so comfortable I’d go get my guitar and we could make music together!” Give him ten minutes before he’s snoring. 

Swiss: This ghoul is widely known for being the most extreme cuddle bug of the band. So be warned, if you do this for him once he will never leave you alone! Swiss is like a giant cuddly cat that constantly needs attention and snuggles. Normally he is the one singing to you but you singing to him? His eyes light up more than a fan being Cirice’d! He lays down in your lap purring up a storm and nuzzling into your warm stomach or chest. Swiss will pull your hand to his head so you can rub under his mask as his eyes get heavy. He inevitably falls asleep with a grin on his face and radiating a nice warmth. 

Cirrus: It’s all very new for the ghoulette, as she is used to being the one to hold and cuddle YOU! Cirrus is the big spoon and doesn’t quite know how to feel relinquishing control. At first she seems stiff and a bit hesistant, but let’s you continue. When you are behind her you start to rub her shoulders as you sing gently in her ear. Eventually her back and arms stop tensing and she starts to go limp from the attention. Cirrus actually has a very delicate and quiet purr, so if it wasn’t for her form vibrating you would barely be able to hear it!  Before she falls asleep she will grabs you arms and pull them around her, nuzzling into your neck. If you stop petting her she actually grumbles, “why’d ya stop?” It’s not long before you have a sleeping ghoulette on your shoulder. 

Cumulus: Normally, Cumulus is the one to sing you to sleep with her sweet voice. But she doesn’t mind the same treatment right back! She loves being spoiled by you. Nothing gets this ghoulette to purr like having you play with her hair as she lays in your lap. Cumulus loves to climb up your torso until her arms are around you as you continue the lullaby. Sometimes she even joins in, matching your voice as you stare into each other’s eyes. Cumulus has alwasy enjoyed the cheesy moments and always ends the song with a kiss on your nose. After you two nuzzling down into your covers, hands rubbing each other’s sides. 

Rain: Even though he comes off as calm most of the time, the promise of cuddles has this ghoul practically tackling you to the bed! Rain LOVES any type of snuggles or physical contact, so he’s always eager to be curled around you. Rain hums along with you when you sing to him, and closes his eyes as he stretches. Rain adores your voice and regularly asks for you to sing to him! When you do he melts like butter in your arms and doesn’t move. The longest he has ever lasted with you patting him to sleep and serenading him was five minutes before he was completely knocked out. It’s adorable the way he curls around you like a giant kit. 

Mountain: Mountain grins like an idiot whenever you softly sing him love songs. He’s got a huge soft spot for small, romantic gestures. You serenading him is on his top list of what he loves! The earth ghoul loves to rub your foreheads together gently and purr as you sing. He rarely can just sit there and let you do all the rubbing and cuddling, and feels better when he can reciprocate. Most of the time, you trying to make him relax ends up with you on the receiving end of the best deep tissue massage you can ever get! Mountain loves the attention, but prefers to give! At the end of every attempt to put him to sleep YOU’RE the one who ends up napping in HIS lap! Mountain loves getting to hold you as you drift off. A part of him thinks it would be extremely precious if humans could purr like ghouls...
