#dewdrop was a fucking nerd as a water ghoul

[spoiledleaff]

I saw an AO3 that you sometimes do drabble requests? could I get something kinda sweet with the names Mountain gives Dew?

yeah, of course! i assumed that by names, you meant the flowery nicknames i was blabbing about earlier, but i hope you enjoy it regardless! have some soft mountain/dew below the cut ♡

“Petunia?”

“No—“ Dewdrop growled from where his face was currently squished right up against the hard planes of Mountain’s collarbones, those stupidly long and somehow strong limbs wrapped tight around his squirming frame, his crooked tail slicing through the tension on the air with the intensity of a forest fire.

The fire’s sin had made the mistake of throwing a tantrum when he overheard Mountain indulging in those stupid, flowery nicknames he insisted on giving the rest of their close pack mates; although the exact details of why his temper so suddenly exploded like that were lost to him now. Regardless, the blatantly sickeningly sweet displays of unfiltered affection, tossed around all willy-nilly like had grated on Dewdrop’s final standing nerve, and like the asshole the earth ghoul before him fucking is; Mountain saw right through his temperamental charade.

Mountain spared one angry glance at Dewdrop’s general direction, saw something on his own seething facial features, softening his scowl before scooping the fire ghoul right up in a merciless embrace. Plopping his scrawny ass right down on the couch and whispering flowers to him in the hopes of settling on a name for Dewdrop that the little sin was comfortable with having.

And Dewdrop was, as usual, not having it.

“Acacia?” Mountain muttered again, his breath cool on the fire ghoul’s heated skin. His grip had lessened at some point through this ridiculous endeavor, the length of his claws now skirting down Dewdrop’s spine.

“That’s dumb,” Dewdrop scoffed, although of course he didn’t mean it, “‘concealed love’? Nothing ‘concealed’ about this shit. I thought your stupid pet names were supposed to be accurate? True to our vessels or whatever shit you were spouting earlier.” He huffed, his hackles raised as his scorched tail bristled at how fucking sappy Mountain’s suggestions have been so far.

Briefly, Dewdrop wonders if he went too far in his defensive lies, as the fingernails gently caressing his arched back halted almost immediately in their gestures, Mountain’s features again shifting to an unreadable expression. Every available inch of skin covering Dewdrop’s damned vessel raised with nerves and anxieties, every muscles tense as he was getting ready to claw and bite his way out of Mountain’s slackened grip and lock the door to his dormitory for the next eternity. Maybe burn his corner of the world down to pitiful ash, or bury himself in the garden and hope the bugs with rot his mortal body quickly.

“…I didn’t know that you knew the language of flowers.” Mountain spoke, his words slow and deliberate as if afraid of catching light to Dewdrop’s already extinguished temperamental fuse.

“‘Course I do.” Dewdrop scoffed again, his chipped horn hitting against the earth ghoul’s jawline. “Why else do you think I call you fucking ‘brier boy’?”

[Envy.]

“I thought you were just making fun of me.” Mountain replied honestly, his mossy green eyes peering down at Dewdrop as if the little ghoul just told him that Nihil was the one who hung the stars up in the night sky.

“Yeah.” Dewdrop mumbled, pushing his face further against the earth ghoul’s chest in an attempt to completely hide his miserable existence. This was becoming too vulnerable; too loving a moment for the fire’s sun to properly handle. “I had a couple others too.”

Sathanas below, why would he tell on himself like this?

“You told Aether that I was a ‘golden rod’,” and Dewdrop couldn’t help with awkwardly grin at that one, briefly wishing that he had the courage to see the metaphorical gears turning in Mountain’s pretty little head, “I just thought you were complementing my dick.”

[Encouragement.]

“I mean, yeah, your dick is pretty amazing.” Dewdrop laughed, his cheeks still burning with embarrassment at having been caught out by the earth’s sin; instead choosing to deflect that feeling with awkward jokes and the choice to slam his tail continuously against Mountain’s unbothered ankles of fucking steel.

“You called me a ‘morning bride’, once, when I walked into the kitchen with Sunshine draped over my back at some god forsaken hour of the dawn.” Mountain drawled, the motions of his claws tracing incomprehensible patterns along Dewdrop’s spine once again resuming at a torturous pace that had the little sun squirming. “I thought you meant ‘morning’, like the sun, as Sunshine was fawning over me at the time because only you two get up that early.”

Dewdrop inhaled a shockingly cold breath, his own fingers digging into the susceptible material of the couch’s cushions. His tail halted against the tops of Mountain’s socks, and his head helpless to resist when one of Mountain’s dangerous claws talked at Dewdrop’s chin; the pads of his fingers lifting his chin up and out of its hiding spot of being squished against the earth ghoul’s uniform. Dewdrop choked on that breath, however, when ice blue eyes melted at the sight of sun kissed moss.

“It wasn’t ‘morning’, like the time of day.” Mountain breathed, equally breathless, his impossibly warm eyes wide in their search of a negative reaction; begging Dewdrop to scream that he’s wrong and maybe set something on fire. “You meant ‘mourning’. Like a pincushion flower.”

Dewdrop did not set anything on fire — instead choosing to lazily shrug his shoulders as if he hadn’t just been caught being the same equally insufferable goddamned sap that he had accused Mountain of being. And, in turn, Mountain fucking beamed; the pearly white of his fangs blinding in the eyes of Dewdrop’s guilt.

“A ‘mourning bride’.”

[Unfortunate attachment.]

“Sure.” Dewdrop replies easily, faking an unbothered tone of voice despite his flushed cheeks and ears.

Mountain still smiles wide, and Dewdrop resists the urge to smother the big ghoul underneath his fiery fury.

“You’re cute when you’re mad.” And before Dewdrop could actually smother the earth’s sin, Mountain leaned down and sealed his lips over the smaller ghoul’s own in a well-meaning, chaste kiss.

Mountain’s stocky long tail wrapped itself around Dewdrop’s crooked one, and even when the two parted, their tails remained entwined as one of those large hands came up to rest against the backside of Dewdrop’s head. That heavy palm pushing the fire ghoul back down to properly rest his still scorching cheek against Mountain’s collarbones once more, those long fingers carding through any tangled strands of Dewdrop’s messy hair they could find.

“You’re adorable,” Mountain repeated with that big stupid, goofy grin still stretching at his thin lips, “my little scorched mulberry.”

[I will not survive you.]

And as Dewdrop nestled further against Mountain’s lean and comfortable frame, his fingers idly playing with the various seams and ruffles of the earth ghoul’s uniform, their tails still comfortably entwined together with the beginnings of a purr rumbling through Mountain’s large chest, well— he couldn’t find it in himself to complain.

sun u should explain the ghost band lore bc i’m interested but no nothing about them

oki oki so ani this might take a while bc i went crazy explaining and it might be too long so uhm find the tl;dr at the end 😭

i swooned when i saw u ask this bc!!! mwah mwah <333 idk it made me so giddy teehee <33 also! this is what i know so far so there might be lapses in my explanation hhh

the band ghost or ghost (or ‘ghost bc’)

- they are are theatrical rock band mostly known for their satirical approach to organized religion (roman catholicism); they have a parody of the ministry (from the papacy down to the clergymen [dubbed as brothers/sisters of sins]). there are criticism that they are satanic and, well, that is their lore.

the current singer is called papa emeritus iv

- papa iv is endearingly called popia because before being papa, he was known as cardinal copia. he succeeded the previous three papa emeritus (primo, secondo, terzo) after the three have been killed. he also inherited the ghouls (specifically terzo’s ghouls).

- primo, secondo, terzo, copia are all acted by the same guy (tobias forge)! the lore is that they’re all brothers, fathered by papa nihil, but that copia wasn’t recognized as his son until later on when the three papas were killed. the ones who organized the deaths of the previous papas is sister imperator, copia’s mom.

- the papas, in order: primo, secondo, terzo, copia (cardinal), copia (papa)

nameless ghouls

- they are the people that tobias forge (papa) hires to play live! theyre not a concrete band since these instrumentalists could be/had been replaceable :((

- when ghost debuted, there were only four ghouls: fire, water, earth, quintessence. these titles are reflections of the instruments they play! fire (lead guitar). water (bass guitar). earth (drums). quintessence (rhythm guitar). later a keyboard instrumentalist was added and they were dubbed as the air ghoul.

- as the band grew more popular and more instrumentalists came and went, the fans began naming them. at the top of my head; notable old members include: alpha (fire). omega (quintessence). mist (water). ifrit (fire). zephyr (air).

- i think it was in 2019 when the ghouls were established and no one left (until, that is, june 2023). they were: dewdrop (fire; previously water so he replaced ifrit as lead guitarist). rain (water; bass guitar). aether (quintessence; rhythm guitar). mountain (earth; drums). swiss (multi ghoul - means he is a backup vocals, acoustic guitarist, tambourine). cumulus (air; keyboard and backup vocals). cirrus (air - keyboard and keystar). sunshine (multi; backup vocals).

- nameless ghouls as of july 2023: dewdrop (fire). rain (water). phantom (quintessence - he replaced aether). mountain (earth). swiss (multi). cumulus (air). cirrus (air). aurora (multi - she replaced sunshine).

- fave: nameless ghouls aren’t all just men!! cirrus, cumulus, sunshine, and aurora are ghoulettes

- i finally know who is who when they don’t have their instruments 😭

- they all wear the same thing for anonymity, although fans know who they are unmasked!

other fun info

- a ghost concert is called ‘ritual’

- they have this episodes (??) of more lore called ‘chapters’

- there are talks that copia will be replaced by a new papa but copia’s goodbye had been too quiet and peaceful so fans speculate that tobias forge is gonna do smthn else?

- papa nihil plays the saxophone!

tl;dr - tobias forge is a huge fucking nerd who made a whole satanic ministry and band for flare!

fuck it. you’re getting ghoul oc’s. even if i can’t draw them myself.

This is Oasis (she/her). She was my very first ghoul OC. She’s a water ghoul & Dewdrop’s little sister. Her mate is my Earth ghoul Clay. She’s avoidant of most people/ghouls, but if she likes you, she’s very loyal and protective. She serves my PM oc, Lillith.

This is Clay (he/they). He was kind of an accident, cuz i was trying to make Mountain, and it just wasn’t Mountain, so he became an OC. He’s an Earth ghoul. They are autistic and non/semi-verbal (really only speaks with Oasis and Mountain, and later Ignis). They were kicked out of their pack in hell at a young age pretty much for being autistic, and almost died on his own, until Oasis found him. Has a mix of adult and kit behaviors due to his past, lack of socialization, and being autistic. Shadows Mountain in the gardens and greenhouses; his favorite thing to do is weed beds and harvest root veggies and potatoes. He likes dirt.

This is Ignis (he/him). He’s a fire ghoul, and i don’t know much about him yet except he has a dumb, orange padawan braid that i couldn’t add on the picrew, and he’s the first ghoul, besides Oasis and Mountain, to befriend Clay. and he’s a Nerd™️, but tries to act cool and macho (he wants to be Ifrit so bad). He chases/hunts siblings around for fun.

I have more 2 ghoul oc’s that are based on my partners, but all they have are names and elements. These 3 are just the most fleshed out.
