#fossil ghouls

[deepdreamnights]

KT Harvest

A shard of chaos struck down an epoch and there was reaping to be done. They swept forth from the ash and fire and poison to do their grim work.

I admit I was a bit surprised the current conception is that compassion would universally "taint" the fossil ghouls food. I assumed because of how the Fossil Ghouls need to make things feel personal so victims don't just dissociate, a little mix of positive emotions or bittersweetness (with a Fossil Ghoul that imitates dead lovers or something), might occasionally beneficial to Apothis. Like a vitamin or mineral or something but still needs all the negative emotions to make it go down smoothly.

Well, I chose Borax for the example because you can eat a lot of borax and not die, as seen with Poison Squads of the early 1900s. You just wouldn't want to eat it, and you wouldn't be able to live off it long-term. Apothis's digestive system treats anything that isn't "evil" as either indigestible matter or as toxins to be filtered out.

The Ghouls each have a mortal virtue (as the Dinos all have a character flaw), they just perceive them as vices. They interact with aspects of "good", and the whole point of them is that they can understand it intellectually enough to manipulate it, whereas Apothis understands evil the same way a hummingbird understands the chemistry of sugar.

But the core idea is that they're feeding on evil, and natural evil is the lowest kind of evil. An accident or disease that has no cause, animal predation, natural disasters, etc are all just 'bad stuff that happens.' There's suffering to it, it produces some entroplasm, but it takes a sapient being that can understand malice, callousness, superstition and greed to produce food-grade wickedness.

Apothis slams himself into planets with sapient life at or approaching the industrial level because that's a greasy buffet table compared to a pile of iceberg lettuce (a world of non-sapient animal life).

A mismanaged care home would produce a lot of fuel for a ghoul. One run well is empty calories at best, poison at worst.

The ghouls have a bit of these elements left over, partially so they can still understand mortals enough to do their jobs and partially because just a scrap of mortal virtue means they're monsters, not natural disasters.

Hide 2, kimi 2, 7, and 13 for any au!

Alright! Pardon the wait,

2. Hide headcanon, Collects those little eraser animal things and hands them out like candy. You're having a bad day? Eraser zebra on your desk. You're proud of yourself? Eraser penguin appears in your jacket pocket. Confused and stressed? Eraser lion. Do not ask when he put them there, he'll just dodge the question and use it as a transition to talk about why he gave them to you. The secrets of his stealth are unfathomable to any mere mortal, just accept your new friend and let it bring you strength.

2. Kimi headcanon! Impressively talented at arcade games, she will kick your ass. It's a combination of knowing all the tricks to beating their scams and raw skill. Nishiki had a very rude awakening to this when he had this whole grand plan for a nice date, where he was going to win her something from the claw machine and then they'd get icecream together. Only to witness these plans crumble as he was beaten 6 times in pinball, and witnessed her break the laws of physics to grab exactly the stuffed animal she wanted from the claw machine 3 times in a row without dropping them. She gave him one and he's a little bit afraid of it.

7. Angst headcanon

I'm not a very angst-ish person by nature regardless of what my fics/drawings might suggest but I'll try my best...

Rotten Follow is a quinque made from Shikorae's deceased older brother, something that undeniably has extremely polarizing emotions tied to it because on one hand the memory of his brother seems to be the only thing he's managed to hold on to, but he was also tortured into a catatonic state with that quinque and only kept alive by the small bits of his brother's body he was fed over the years which is YIKES even for Tokyo Ghoul. As much as I love Shikorae I do think he is a prime example of the prioritization of "dark" subjects over logic as well as several other issues with the portrayal of villainous ghouls in the story.

Anyways, with all this context in mind I don't think it's too much of a reach to say that Shikorae's rampage could've been motivated by the inheritor of Rotten Follow after Furuta (Whoever that could be) and a simple desire to chase after any trace of his brother. Because he's never been shown to be explicitly malicious (given he hasn't been shown as the contrary either) simply following orders and hunger.

13. A headcanon about a AU (of your preference)

Not great at AU's either because I'm mostly fond of minor alterations that have ripple effects and no one wants to hear me ramble for 3 paragraphs about how if Furuta lived who's to say his RC system couldn't get worse actually- anyways may's just around the corner so mermaid AU, exclusively with some of my favorites and also Arima:

Hanbee would be a False Killer Whale

Juuzou would be a Bottlenose (They form partnerships sometimes it's really interesting)

Hairu's a River Dolphin.

Arima's a Sperm Whale.

Rize's a Giant Pacific Octopus or Great White.

Furuta's a Mimic Octopus.

Koori's a Blue Pinoy Angelfish.

Uta's a Killer Whale

Renji's an Angel Shark or Thresher

Itori's a mantis shrimp

Aight fuckwads, mama's feedin' y'all tonight. Take some ghoul zoomies/enrichment time ya filthy animals.

Ghouls, they're simple creatures really. You feed 'em, give 'em a task, shelter 'em and give them enrichment time and they're happy! But what you don't realize about these ghouls is that they're giant balls of energy compressed into a meat suit.

They're like cats and dogs(depending on the ghoul.) they get excited sometimes and have no choice but to let that energy out somehow!! How do they do that? They run, and they run fast.

Dewdrop is often seen skidding the halls with Phantom in tow as they weave through siblings and nuns, they'll hop on top of things and scamper through the halls as they chase one another for the hell of it. If one catches the other the fight is on, and they don't let up until papa separates them.

Some of the bigger ghouls like Omega, Aether, Ifrit and Mountain are often seen wrestling one another to release the energy they have. Sometimes a kit or smaller ghoul/ette will join and they'll purposely let them win just for the satisfaction of it all.

The water ghouls get their energy out in the lakes and ponds, you can catch them passing a seashell between the lot of them for fun. Or for more reclusive ghouls like Lake and Rain, they'll be seen collecting seashells and fossils and ordering up to how they like.

Fire ghouls as a whole like to dig in the soot and ash and roll around in it, Ifrit likes to bat it at Alpha which then turns into a wrestling match. Ifrit loses, he eats soot and Alpha is proud of himself. Dewdrop likes to burrow himself into it like a lizard cause of the warmth of it all.

The more softer ghouls like to run around the forest together and giggle and play around, whispering secrets to one another before choosing to run again. It's usually the ghoulettes plus Air and Pebble, not that the boys mind.

[spaghettioverdose]

Sorry to add the OceanGate spam but like I keep either seeing people crying and pissing about how "these are human lives we shouldn't cheer for their death!!" or people responding with "they knew what they were getting themselves into". I want to make it very clear that this is actually incredibly funny and I hope this shit happens more often.

Even if they didn't willingly pay more money than I've seen in my life to go into the world's most makeshift submarine, even if they went into a completely good and normal vehicle and were cooked alive in a complete one-in-a-million freak accident, I would still find it incredibly funny.

Too often billionaires will get to fund every ghoul who wants to wipe out some group of people as long as that ghoul gets them policy that is economically favourable (at the expense of the working class), make their employees slave away on shit wages and in shit conditions, fund climate denial bullshit so they can pump the atmosphere full of CO2 for just a bit longer, patent life-saving medicine etc. and they get to live and die free of any consequences. They get to fuck over everyone forever and still live a long happy life full of extravagance and luxury and die peacefully surrounded by friends and family.

This isn't going to bring any change or whatever but it's genuinely nice to see some of these shitheads die horribly every now and then. The only reason you're all crying about them is because you completely lack awareness of what a billionaire really is.

Billionaires do not end up billionaires through hard work. Billionaires have a completely different class position and economic interests compared to you and it puts them at odds with you. Billionaires do not see the working class as people and will gladly burn you for fuel in a heartbeat if it was cheaper and more economically viable than burning fossil fuels.

[thelampisaflashlight]

Some general ghoul headcanons, because it's been a while. Let's go.

-Dew is really into learning about new technology, but also absolutely hates smart household appliances.

He doesn't want his fridge to connect to the wifi for example.

Prefers having a DVD player to dealing with streaming services that *might* have the movie he wants to watch, or make him play over and over again to watch it more than once.

Launched Swiss' smart speaker out the window when it turned on while he was in the kitchen.

-Rain paints his nails all the time and they're usually immaculate, but he's also guilty of letting it chip off or picking it off while he's sitting around.

Does other people's nails for fun, but mostly because he has the most patience out of all of them when it comes to these kinds of things.

-Mountain's biggest secret is that gardening isn't really even, like, his number one hobby. It's not even the second highest.

His absolute favorite thing to do in his free time is make food, even if he's not the best at it all the time, but that's kind of the point.

And lastly;

-Cumulus is the resident dinosaur/fossil enthusiast, and she managed to give Aeon and Aurora the same brain rot, so whenever they have downtime, they make trips to museums to look at their collections.

FINALLY starting pt.2 of my monster high redesigns, these are almost one year old 💀💀💀

i planned to upload the rest of the concepts when i'm done with cleo but i'm stuck on her

LAGOONA!!!🐠

"комсомолка, спортсменка и просто красавица" school's athlete, activist and student council member, lagoona is mostly known as one of, if not the friendliest ghouls around there. always upbeat and cheerful, her strong and genuinely supportive nature made others view her as some kind of authority which makes them gather around her persona, even some professors. this made lagoona the current chairwoman of water sports school club, a branch of school's sports club and an unofficial head of water monsters community. sometimes lagoona is followed by two other water ghouls who mostly share some info and gossip with her and those around. the one would say "she has no enemies" and won't be wrong despite the fact some monsters may find her very annoying just because (some are simply not fond of it, some are just mean). lagoona quickly becomes one of frankie's first and the closest friends at school after draculaura and clawdeen and despite not being an active yet still honorary member of the "rejects" (since she technically isn't one), she often visits them and watches other ghouls in the club "as the council representative", as they joke. still, lagoona has her own problems related to all the stress caused by the weight of her responsibilities and also her family not accepting the ghoul's romance with a river monster gil webber and she's yet to open up about it all because she tries her best to keep up with being everyone's beacon of hope. loves asian and polynesian cuisine, working out, studying fossils and science fiction media centered around water and its creatures

GHOULIA!!! 🧠 

zombie community goes through quite hard times. being one of the largest in monster high, it causes some problems, mostly lack of speed and sometimes academic underperformance being the main factors causing some students' dislikes for these creatures. at the same time, it makes it easier for the "brighter" zombies to stand out and there are a few of them. ghoulia's extreme intelligence made her one of the most respectable zombies and top mh student, however it didn't stop some bullies from targeting her, especially another zombie with better speaking and social skills. that was until cleo got involved and offered ghoulia her protection as a popular ghoul in exchange for her "help" in studies. though it didn't stop her main bully from targeting her for a few reasons, cleo's offer protected ghoulia from others and marked the beginning of their friendship(?). cleo's authority also opened her a few more possibilities such as joining school press and a post-hardcore band as a drummer and scream/growl vocalist. though she can only speak zombie and sign languages, it serves as some kind of speech correction therapy, making noises sounding somewhat similar to those others may even partially recognize as words but not perfectly. kinda like singing to fight stuttering but somewhat different. anyways, she joins the "rejects" club after getting along with frankie who isn't okay with another zombie bothering ghoulia despite cleo's protection. fran is extremely willing to help her and is ready to confront the bully in question but ghoulia and cleo do not seem to be enthusiastic about it. loves video games, post-hardcore and industrial metal, comics and brain-shaped cherry jelly in school canteen

bonus: lagoona's very first sketch

i scrapped it because i decided i'd love her to look more athletic. some details may be used someday later

Introducing one of my newest Welcome Home OCs!!

Spooky Louie!

So! Spooky Louie here is from a place called “Ghost Town”

A big ol’ place full to the brim with Ghosts and Ghouls, and it’s not really a pleasant place to be in.

Ghosts in this town scared muppet mortals (muppets who are alive), and fed off of the fear. They all did it for a living, including a lot of the individuals in Louie’s family.

He didn’t necessarily like scaring people or being a ghost himself. He wanted to feel more, alive and happier in a place away from all the spooky happenings that was his own hometown.

He also instead wanted to be a architect, because he found it rather mesmerizing to see things from the past be full of such meaning. Like fossils, artifacts, Ect.

His family didn’t really approve of his lifestyle and dreams of being what he wanted, so in response, he moves his lil’ self away to the neighborhood.

To lift his spirits he told himself!

His home is on the edge of the woods of the neighborhood, it being an abandoned museum.

He introduces himself to everyone..during the Halloween Party Event. He goes through the wall, and he says to everyone in a kind way.“Good evening!” This causing everybody to run out of the house and freak out from his sudden presence.

He really doesn’t mean any harm! He just needs to get used to being around the more “lively” folk..

Feel free to ask anything about him to me in my ask box! Or you can ask him anything if you’d like!

[pushing500]

Can we see mechis full base please?

You most certainly can! Mechi put so much effort into it (or rather, Wire and Megabyte the constructoids have) that it would be a shame not to show it off.

Behold, the colony tour of Sparks!

Here's a quick overview of the whole base as it stands currently. Nice and simple with room for one colonist and nobody else.

(putting the rest under here so it's not clogging up people's dash)

Here's the Void Monolith, well-lit and surrounded by chain link fences... Just in case.

We have a cemetery outside the main wall, which came from a prefab that some traders sold us. Mechi added the flowers and grass, just as a show of respect for the dead. He doesn't hate dead people as much as everyone else, I assume, since they don't try to talk to him.

There's our containment facility with platforms for Ms Clarabelle the sightstealer, Susskind the ghoul, and Kitschy Flamingo the fingerspike. They are very well-behaved, and Mechi seems to enjoy studying them.

To the right is the hospital, with one bed, because only one person will ever need to use it (that's Mechi). Anyone else can make do with the "guest room," which we'll get to in a bit.

At the back of the hospital is the shelter where Cowgirl and Georgia, our tw wildebeest, sleep at night.

On the other side of the containment facility is our lovely picnic area and fountain, next to the psychic ritual spot in a suitably spooky countryside hedge-box.

Then we have a killbox, which has only recently been constructed. It seems to work well enough so far, but it hasn't really seen much action. I suppose we'll find out in time, though.

We have a power grid of solar panels and wind turbines overlooking our farm, with lots of nice plants to keep us sustained. The farm is tended by Astro, Mechi's agrihand mech.

Mechi likes sitting on the verandah to drink coffee sometimes, but it's nothing too fancy. We have a ground-penetrating scanner set up, but not much time to actually scan for stuff. I think we've found a fossil deposit since we set it up, but that's all.

The kitchen/dining in Sparks is pretty barebones. The most important part is the coffee machine, everything else is just sort of there.

Mechi has a lovely bedroom and a private bathroom, with a comfy cat tree for Charlotte and plenty of things to keep him entertained when he's not researching.

There's a crowded storeroom beside Mechi's bedroom, and outside is the stonecutting bench and the spot where Butter the boomalope sleeps alongside Belle and Mariana the sheep.

Mechi's research lab/robotics workshop/library is full of things to look at and workbenches to play with. It's his most-frequented room in the colony, I think.

The "guest room" we mentioned earlier, which has stuff needed for people to survive comfortably as long as they get frequent deliveries of nutrient paste. The top half of the room will eventually be home to our ripscanners and the like once we've defeated enough mech bosses to get to that stage.

And finally, the "temple", which is just a hastily cobbled room to make Mechi stop griping that he didn't have one. He's got a neural supercharger (which he uses every day) and a biosculptor pod (which he never uses) and that seems to have appeased him for now.

And there you have it! The colony at Sparks, home to one snappy mechanitor, a lot of robots, and the few pets that are allowed to stay without being shipped off to Arwell the first chance we get 😁

Fallout: Maximum

Concept art for a possible fanfic. A Trigun / Fallout crossover! Basic Setting Idea: This takes place on Earth, in North America, based largely upon the Fallout universe (games and TV series). I am having trouble figuring out a specific area (as my familiarity with the games is mostly in the East Coast setting games 3 and 4 and I have only played New Vegas just a little bit), but I am highly tempted to set this partly in Arizona (and thus in the series' commonwealth encompassing parts of California and Nevada). Arizona is where I grew up and ever since I learned that there was a scrapped game, Fallout: Van Buren, that was supposed to take place there, I was kind of excited. (Van Buren street! I know that area!.... *side eye* There's a reason why your character was to be an incarcerated criminal...

In the fusion-universe, Plants remain Plants. There was a project fronted by the United States government to engineer an efficient power source that would end America's dependence on both fossil fuels and the weird atom-punk direct harvesting of nuclear energy. A major problem was of course making it profitable, because late-stage Capitalism rules Fallout's pre-war North America in some of the most hilarious, yet horrible ways. It was done, though, by the secretive Project SEEDS - which had some relation to Vault-Tec, but, being its own separate thing, was spared the horrors that Vault-Tec did for sick funsies and had its own horrors to contend with. Independent Plants have the powers that they have in Trigun-canon, including their long lifespans, putting them at equal to ghoulified humans. They also, like ghouls, are pretty well immune to gamma radiation - except that it becomes clear that they are even stranger beings in the presence of it, as their Plant-markings will glow. Pictured above is Vash in one of the Glowing Seas leftover from a direct atom-bomb strike and Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Ghoulwood), smoking some good ol' Grey Tortoise cigarettes.

[dynoguard]

"And we're back." Linda DuPree smiled into the camera, doing her best to appear natural. "With LaBrea... Uh... Is that your first or last name?"

The camera panned over to Linda's "guest." At first glance she appeared human, though the illusion broke down quickly. The size was the immediate tip-off: nine feet tall, with chalk-white skin and half-feline features.

From her short muzzle a pair of dagger like fangs dipped to just under her jaw. She "wore" an evening gown and opera gloves made of viscous liquid tar, the same material that formed an impossible mane upon her head.

The liquid moved and shifted with a life of its own, and a tendril of her floor-length "tresses" was presently dancing behind Linda like an agitated cobra, dripping rivulets of shimmering black oil that flowed along the ground back into her dress.

"Just LaBrea." Her voice carried an odd mix of valley girl inflection and a Hollywood Count Dracula accent, somehow unimpeded by her tusk-like fangs. "Thank you for asking. And Linda, can I just say that I am so thankful that you had little old me on your show, to get to know all the good people at home?"

"Thank, yes, I would like to-" Linda paused, and gathered herself. "I'd like to thank you, very much, LaBrea, for allowing the paramedics to give Sarah and Pauline transfusions."

"They were deliciously boring, dahling." She smiled. "Not like you. So. What do you want to ask me?"

"Well, what are you?" Linda winced. "Was that rude? I-"

"No, Dahling, you're just timid, frightened, like a little mouse. I like you." LaBrea tapped her chin, the slick mass of tar on her head shifted into a raised secretarial bun, a pair of glasses frames forming on her face, evoking a 'thoughtful' look by way of a fashion photo shoot.

"I'm a sabertooth tigress by death, a vampire professionally, an actress by calling and a Fossil Ghoul in general."

"Lets talk about that last one."

"Oh, acting! I don't have representation yet, but you have seen me on the news! And now here! On the hostage episode of The Squadt with Linda, Sarah, Pauline, and the husk formerly known as Darla!" She made an old fashioned 'call me' gesture into the camera with her tar-dripping claws.

"She'll be fine. I mean... not psychologically, but in a few categories I'm sure."

"I meant lets talk about the Fossil Ghouls. What does that mean?"

"Okay, so, like, I'm sure you've heard all kinds of things from the DynoGuard and their little juicebox pals, no offense."

"None taken."

"Wasn't a request. Like I was saying. You've heard that we're some kind of alien species that feeds on fear that's come here to bring an age of suffering and ultimately extinction upon you all. And I just want to let everyone know that couldn't be further from the truth."

"I, for one am glad to hear tha-"

"Yeah, species implies we reproduce and create life like mortals, which is downright offensive. Also, we feed on all forms of evil that you both commit and suffer, not just fear."

"So what are you then?"

"I'm the bones of a sabertooth cat, a whole lot of tar, a mass of your species superstitions, fears, and desires brought to life with a dark heart."

"A Dark Heart... is that metaphorical-?"

LaBrea plunged a hand into the tar at her hip, digging around in it as it were a pocket, before withdrawing a pulsing crystal the size of a cantaloupe. It was shaped like a human heart, carved crudely out of a sickly amber-yellow crystal. Inside, Linda could see a shadow moving around like a bug in a jar.

"This is a dark heart. Made form the ichor of Apothis herself, and holding a poor little soul that was too wicked to get fully digested after the master's last stop." LaBrea turned to the heart and its tiny shadow. "Who wasn't digested? You weren't, you weren't digested were you? You little atrocity you!"

Linda flinched as the shadow slammed itself against the wall of the heart nearest to her. She couldn't remember what it looked like, only that it had many teeth and claws it ought not to have, and was scrabbling furiously at the crystal in a futile attempt at escape. The camera did not pick up the finer details.

"You need a lot of evil, a lot of entroplasm, to make a little monster like this big and strong enough to be a real Fossil Ghoul." LaBrea said. "So you see, by letting us run roughshod over your world, you're actually helping us thrive. Isn't that fun?"

"You mentioned Apothis... That's the meteor that killed the dinosaurs?"

"Oh sweet little mouse! Apothis comes for everyone eventually. As a civilization gets big, and gets smart, its capacity to both inflict and experience evil swells. And when you're ripe, the monster meteor herself comes to feast, leaving a mass extinction in her wake. Before moving to the next star to do it, and the next, coming back around when your world has a new set of annoying talking matter that knows how to scream and mean it."

LaBrea shook herself from her ravings and regained her perky, if uncanny, posture. "Annoying talking matter and you, Linda. We're besties. Obviously!"

"How, how many times has Apothis done this?"

"To Earth? More than a couple by a few, dahling." LaBrea. "The lizards were the only ones to do something about it, and we'll have them dealt with soon."

"Why are you telling us this?" Linda asked.

"Because, dahling, it won't help. Not knowing, not begging, not even worshiping me." She tilted her head and smiled. Both the tilt and smile went farther than they ought. "Not that you shouldn't do all three anyway. They're fun!"

Linda blinked, unsure of how to respond.

"I mean fun for me." LaBrea grinned into the camera, then took a long, low inhale through her nose. As she did, Linda saw tendrils of smoke roiling from the cameras, the audience, and even herself, rushing into the creature's oddly petite nostrils. The smoke was an impossibly dark and deep purple and it smelled of burning decay.

She could taste the wisps flowing out of her mouth. They tasted like her divorce, her broken leg, her father's funeral-

"Don't turn that dial." LaBrea said in a mocking parody of Darla's voice. "Some of us will be right back after a message from these sponsors."

Ministry Perfume Associations

I’m back yet again with more thoughts about Ghost and perfume! This time it’s fragrances from my own collection that remind me of various places in my headcanon of the Ministry. (Usually these lists are mostly made up of perfumes that I don’t actually have, but this time I can vouch for all of these! I didn’t include any that I thought weren’t good.)

For the sake of organization these are divided into places in the New Wing (the most recent addition to the Ministry), the Old Wing (the original Ministry buildings), and the grounds (gardens, forests, etc). And as always, if you have your own thoughts or want me to do more of this, please let me know! I would love to talk more about Ghost and perfume.

(also: so sorry for the weird formatting, idk how to fix it on mobile but it should be fine on desktop)

New Wing:

Library: old books, wood, dust, paper, ink

The library is part of the New Wing of the Ministry, although it’s not very new anymore. Built in the early 1900s, the New Wing is all soaring ceilings, stained glass windows, and intricate woodworking, done in the Art Nouveau style of the time. The library’s floor-to-ceiling shelves are full of books ranging from ancient esoteric tomes to modern fiction paperbacks, interspersed with desks and secluded reading nooks. The library also houses the Ministry’s private collection of artifacts - some occasionally used for ritual purposes, some purely academic in nature. The library is always very still, with the occasional susurrus of turning pages and quiet voices. It smells like polished wood, faint dust, and the leather and paper of old books. 

Library Ghost - Poesie 

marshmallows, books, ink, polished wood

Myself Invisible - Poesie 

stacked books, spilled ink, black tea, violets

Bibliotheca - Alkemia  

leather-bound books, vintage vinyl records, mahogany, fountain pen ink, black tea, plum brandy

Canoodling in the Library - Nui Cobalt  

old books, mahogany shelves, fallen leaves, ancient stone stairs, amber resin, warm skin musk, vetiver

Miskatonic University - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab  

irish coffee, dusty tomes, polished oakwood halls

Personal Quarters: carved wood furniture, tea and coffee, soft bedding, books and clutter, spices, vanilla

The personal quarters are also in the New Wing, separated into human quarters and ghoul quarters (for everyone’s comfort and safety). The personal quarters tend to feel very cozy and lived-in, as they are the rooms most frequently used. The furniture is comfortable, often occupied by off-duty siblings or ghouls, and the arch windows overlooking the gardens and forest cast soft beams of light onto the wood floors in the afternoon. The siblings’ quarters tend to smell like the possessions of those who occupy them - books, scented candles, tea and coffee, and faint spices from the small kitchen. The ghouls’ quarters are similar, but with the scents of various elements - smoke, greenery, damp stone, fresh air, resin.

Mysterious Fossils - Poesie  

smoked black tea with creamy vanilla oat milk, a cashmere sweater, tortoiseshell glasses, a cedar chest containing fossils encased in amber, sandstone, and limestone

Whisper Your Bitter Things - Poesie  

pressed coffee beans, dried clove bud and cassia bark, jasmine, neroli, roasted vanilla pods

Grey Cat - Nui Cobalt  

smoked vanilla, marshmallows, fresh blueberries, lavender, earl grey tea

Kensington - Fantome  

earl grey tea, cashmere, vanilla bean, cedar, rose petals, mandarin zest, pink peppercorn, bergamot

Ouija - Possets  

cedar, rosewood, black vanilla, fat vanilla, rose, black silk, coriander

Our Days Bewitched - PULP Fragrance  

walnuts, brandy, roasted cocoa beans, copal, cardamom, labdanum, black vanilla, aged oak barrels

Old Wing:

Chapel: resinous incense, polished wood, wine, smoke

The chapel is part of the Old Wing. The exact dates of its construction could probably be found somewhere in the Ministry’s records, but the gothic architecture suggests it’s been there for at least 500 years. The cold grandeur of the exterior’s intricate stonework and vibrant stained glass windows is matched in the chapel. It is perpetually cold, made fully of elaborately carved stone, and colorful sunlight filters through the enormous stained glass windows onto the altar and the pews. The heavy, still air smells like residual incense smoke, snuffled candles, fragrant wood, and ritual wine.

Holy Terror - Arcana Wildcraft  

burning frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh, dusty beeswax candles

Anastasia the Patrician* - Deconstructing Eden

paper, ink, frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, copal, rose, juniper berries, wine

Leo* - Deconstructing Eden

frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, amber, liatrix, blood cedar, blond tobacco absolute, sweet spices, honey

Parlour - Fantome  

mahogany, rosewood, burning incense, vetiver

*i think these were discontinued? sorry

Crypt: cold damp stone, smoke, dust, ashes

The crypt is the only place in the Ministry that truly reflects its age. It feels like it has been standing, underground, inhabited only by the dead, for hundreds of years. It’s well-maintained, but perpetually freezing cold and slightly damp. The stone walls are minimally decorated, and the candles in their niches do very little to illuminate the cavernous space. The air is weighty, and all sound is muffled. The crypt smells like damp stone, cold air, sweet dust, and smoke.

Gargoyle - Nui Cobalt  

rain, lavender, cathedral incense, beeswax candles, ancient stone

Summoning/Ritual Chambers: cold stone, ritual incense, blood, wine, smoke

The ritual chambers are where summonings and rituals are performed. They are where every new ghoul comes into the world, and, more rarely, where they’re banished from it. The walls and floor are stone, and there are no windows. When in use, the chambers are lit by dozens of flickering candles, some in sconces, some piled onto tables, and years of melted wax have created puddles and formations on the walls and floor. The air is dense, thick with dust, herb smoke, ritual incense, and the scent of dried blood.

Baba Yaga - Fantome  

black and red musk, smoke, cracked bones, cardamom, wood, animal skins, mugwort

Conjure - Solstice Scents  

vanilla, amber, cedar, spices, cauldron smoke

Gothique - Alkemia  

frankincense, styrax benzoin, myrrh, cassia, spikenard, canella, liquidambar orientalis, labdanum, atlas cedar, vetiver

A City on Fire - Imaginary Authors  

cade oil, spikenard, cardamom, clearwood, dark berries, labdanum, a burnt match

Vassago - Fantome  

A silver dagger, red wine, blackberries, cloves, orange peel, blood, a black mirror

Grounds:

Gardens: dirt, greenery, sun, fruit, flowers

The Ministry sits on a huge expanse of land. Most of it is still wild and forested, but there is a good amount of it dedicated to gardens, both decorative and functional. 

Decorative Gardens:

The decorative gardens are lush and heavy with flowers and fresh greenery most of the year, tended to by the Earth ghouls. Some of them are small cloistered gardens, decorated with statues and fountains, and some are larger, intended for gatherings or wandering alone. The decorative gardens tend to smell like fragrant herbs and flowers - sweet jasmine and magnolia, heavy white lilies and heirloom roses. 

Basilica - Milano Fragranze 

thyme, rosemary, incense, milk, labdanum, cedarwood, cypriol oil

Fox in the Flowerbed - Imaginary Authors  

jasmine, tulips, frankincense, wildflower honey, pink peppercorns, silver thistle, alpine air

Isabella - Possets 

rose, light resin, white tea, honey, cream musk, spices

Olwyn - Fantome  

magnolia blossoms, white lilies, jasmine, gardenia, buttery vanilla, myrrh, benzoin, orange blossom

Silver Narcissus - Possets  

silver base, narcissus

Functional Gardens:

The functional gardens supply the flowers for decoration within the Ministry as well as the herbs and most of the produce for the kitchens. The gardens, orchards, and greenhouses are managed by the Earth ghouls, and yield so much produce that, despite the relatively small size of the gardens and the relatively large size of the Ministry, they still end up with extra. That surplus is sold at the local farmers’ market to unsuspecting humans who wonder in open amazement about the size and quality of this mysterious farm’s produce.

Sundrunk - Imaginary Authors  

neroli, rhubarb, honeysuckle, rose water, orange zest

Drider Crossing Guard - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab  

dry, earthy fig, black pepper, nutmeg, black plum tea

Wilcox’s - Solstice Scents  

dry woods, fresh herbs, dried herbs, warm spices, sweet annie, sage, rosewood 

Lake: water, trees, evergreens, greenery, stone

The Ministry’s lake is very deep, cold, and still. It’s objectively beautiful, with its glassy blue-gray waters and lush vegetation, but something about it feels dangerous. The pebbled shores are visited only by the bravest siblings, and even then only on the hottest and most desperate of summer days. The water ghouls, on the other hand, love it (which is possibly why the siblings tend to stay away). It is located at the border between the new and old forests, and its mossy banks are surrounded by evergreens, ferns, and rushes. It smells green and a little salty.

Villa Diodati - Poesie  

wild rosemary, balsam pine, crystal clear lakewater, dry, dark vanilla

Every Storm a Serenade - Imaginary Authors  

danish spruce, eucalyptus, vetiver, calone, ambergris, baltic sea mist

The Forest: trees, dirt, damp air, greenery, wildflowers, fungi

New Forest:

The new forest is a nickname given to the shallow edges of the forest that are closest to the Ministry. The trees are widely spaced, and the ground is thickly carpeted with grasses and wildflowers. Sunlight filters easily through the sparse leaf canopy and illuminates the fallen logs and patches of moss that make popular spots for siblings and ghouls looking to unwind. The air is light, and the breeze carries with it the scent of fresh greenery, tree sap, and sweet flowers. 

Cape Heartache - Imaginary Authors  

douglas fir, pine resin, western hemlock, vanilla leaf, strawberry, old growth, mountain fog

Dendrophilia - Nui Cobalt  

moss-covered deadfall, birchwood and pine, lingering resins, sunlight through the leaves, a trace of woodsmoke, faint vetiver and cedar

Duende - Fantome  

oakmoss, cedar, fir, labdanum, benzoin, tree sap, wild violets, lilac

Solovey - Fantome 

black amber, violets, black currants, espresso, labdanum, black agarwood, tobacco

Old Forest:

If you go far enough into the new forest, you will eventually get to the old forest. The trees are bigger and closer together, the sunlight struggles to reach the ground, and there are more mushrooms than flowers. The air is damp and cool and smells like fungus, loam, and rotting leaves. The old forest is avoided by siblings both because of the unsettling watched feeling any human who enters feels and the unspoken knowledge that if you don’t come back out no one will go looking for you. 

Gaea - Alkemia  

forest loam, ferns, decaying leaves, lichen, wet stones

Dies Irae - Possets  

black musk, fog, bitter galbanum, hawthorn, rotting leaves, orris, smoky oude, frankincense, black amber

Feuillemort - Alkemia  

dying leaves, smoked autumnal spices, dried grasses and fungi, Tibetan incense, cedarwood, rum soaked agarwood, and borneol

Samhain - Haus of Gloi  

freshly turned earth, wet leaves, cold wind

if you made it this far 1) thank you lol and 2) i hope you enjoyed! if you have your own thoughts i would love to hear them!

The Ultimate Emo/Scene Name List - WARNING: Long post, and make sure you read the trigger warnings!

Having trouble coming up with a name for yourself? Do you planning on using a part of your real name but can’t find a word to go with it? Well, worry no more!

Today, I’m here to provide as comprehensive a list as possible! I’ve scoured the internet, and some sources have some problematic suggestions. So, my goal is to break down possible names into easy to understand categories. Obviously, this will be a VERY long list, so keep that in mind. There is also a section purely made up of words used in the past that are to be used/reclaimed at one's own risk/discretion due to the words being used to oppress or belittle various minority groups. I will also be sharing my sources at the bottom for stuff I used from online, alongside any trigger warnings that may be needed. Without further ado, let’s go! Also feel free to reblog with suggestions to add!

[the-moon-in-the-gutter]

Thinking about Rain going to so many aquariums on his first time touring. The ghouls always loved sight seeing in new cities on days off from performing, but Rain spent so much of his time in aquariums. Elbows deep in a touch tank for 20 minutes because he wants to pet every single butterfly ray and shovelnose guitarfish at least once. Before touring, he had asked the retired ghouls if they wanted souvenirs or what their favorite animal was. Many declined his offer of souvenirs, not wanting the young ghoul to spend their allowance on them. But he still bought them little touristy things, shot glasses, fridge magnets, stickers, t-shirts.

One afternoon Mountain drags him to a gem show because they heard there would be fossils and shark teeth, something right up the water ghoul's alley. Rain spent over an hour marveling at a table of shark teeth, searching for one of a specific species. The young water ghoul had bonded with Mist over their shared love of sharks, he wanted to find her the best souvenir imaginable.

When the ghouls returned home at the end of tour, Rain began to make his rounds to his pack with souvenirs bought for them. He had purchased every pack member little glass figurines of their favorite animals, Dewdrop having the biggest reaction. The fire ghoul literally leaping into Rain's arms over the small glass spotted eagle ray. It took 20 minutes to pry Dew from his arms, who was profusely thanking him for the figurine that would reside on his bedside table for the rest of time.

But Rain was more excited to visit Mist, the find he had made at that gem show had him on edge as he walked into the den of the retired ghouls. He found her in her room, the door open and her head in an old marine biology textbook. One that she had used to teach Rain about certain species of sharks.

Rain cleared his throat, watching her head snap up and in his direction. The ghoulette half expected Alpha to be standing in the doorway, the fire ghoul had a tendency to loom until he was noticed or was forced to make his presence known. "Rain my sweet! You're home" she said, moving the textbook off her lap and motioning for the ghoul to enter.

"I brought you a souvenir," Rain said, entering the room with his hands behind his back "I know it's not much but I couldn't pass it up."

Mist rose from her bed, meeting the ghoul in the middle. "You didn't have to do anything for me sweet, I wanted you to spend your money on you and enjoy your time" she said gently, studying his features.

Rain shook his head, "I know I didn't have to, I just saw it at a gem show Mounty dragged me to and I had to get it for you."

At that moment a small golden box was placed in the ghoulette's hands, a wordless invitation to open the gift. The pair stood in silence as Mist untied the bow that was carefully knotted around the box, time seemingly standing still to Rain who was teeming with excitement. The lid of the box was lifted off slowly before being slammed back on.

"Rain you did not" she said, the surprise evident on her face. She opened the box once more before taking the object into her hand gently, not wanting to break it.

"But I did" he said, the smile plastering his face evident in his words. "I spent an hour at this one booth searching for a lemon shark tooth, I knew there had to be one there."

Mist placed the tooth back in the box, placing it on the edge of the alter in her room mistakenly. The motion was quick and unintentional, as all she wanted was to get her arms around her young water ghoul. "Rain it's perfect, you truly didn't have to do that" she spoke, her voice heavy with the tears brimming in her eyes.

The water ghoul wrapped her in a tigh hug, this was the exact reaction he expected. Aside from the tooth becoming a permanent piece of her alter, that was unexpected part for both of the ghouls.

"I remembered what their teeth looked like, from that textbook you had shown me. I knew it was your favorite shark and I just had to find one." He spoke softly, the ghoulette looking up to him. The pride in her was almost tangible, for the knowledge bestowed upon her protégé coming into good use.

As the hug broke apart, the pair looked toward the box teetering on the edge of her alter. "Well, looks like Lord Lucifer gets a shark tooth" Mist laughed, wiping the stray tears from her eyes.

"Seems like he enjoys the offering, or at least the box it's in" he laughed, the golden box was seemingly a fan favorite.

[wrathofrats]

ok so i'm on a slight smut to fluff kick, and i started thinking, so... consider...

safe words for the ghouls. doms, subs, switches, doesn't matter. all of them have them.

imagine if they were element related. sunshine's being 'fizzle,' mountain's is 'quartz,' and so on..

or if they have a few safe words- one for if it's okay to touch them after they use it and one for no touching them at all

just.. safe words are so important and i love the idea of the ghouls being great about it.

YESS!! I know I’m awful at it in my fics (will be working on it) but it’s so very important to at least sometimes include scenes where a safe word is discussed,

Safe words and dom and sub drop and all the “unfun” kink stuff is so very important to discuss also. But rant over!

Here’s some elemental safe words for the current ghouls (: cut for length!

Swiss: Venus, I hc Swiss as having more quint and fire than anything else, so I think this fits pretty well

Mountain: fossil

Phantom: shadow

Rain: flood

Dew: smoke

Aurora: astral

Cirrus: gale

Cumulus: fog

I do think the ghouls are wonderful at consent, even on so called small things like just touching or kissing. They’ve mastered the art of asking for consent as dirty talk

Remember to always be respectful of people’s boundaries!!! Consent is sexy!!

Next in the christmas botanicals series is the deadly poisonous yew tree (taxus spp.) with its shiny evergreen foliage and bright red berries. Yew’s association with christmas is documented back to 1605 in Germany where a bough of yew (or other evergreen) was brought indoors and decorated with candy, nuts, and fruit. Queen Charlotte was German and brought her regional custom of decorating yew boughs to England creating a sensation at court. In 1800 she used a full tree instead of just a bough. That tree was a yew, making the earliest christmas tree in England a yew tree. Over 50 years before Prince Albert’s “first christmas tree”.

Yews have been venerated by many peoples for thousands of years because the trees live for thousands of years and are technically immortal. Yew fossil records date to 200 million years ago. It’s kind of a big deal.

Yew is heavily associated with death and resurrection. The trees are in a perpetual state of simultaneous decay and new growth. It is the real life tree version of the Dionysus-Osiris-Esus-Jesus resurrection myth. Yew is the deified world tree and greenmantle ruling the dark half of the year. It is the literal Holly King.

Yew’s use to decorate for the winter solstice very likely dates back to prechristian times. Poisons are often considered some of the most powerful protection herbs in traditional folk beliefs and it’s no coincidence many botanicals used to make christmas wreaths and garlands are poisonous. Our animistic ancestors across the northern hemisphere were using them to protect their homes and the people within from winter’s ghosts and ghouls. Yew has long been believed to protect from ghosts and the restless dead, hence its use in graveyards ancient and modern. Today evergreen garlands are used for decoration but their origin was magical protection.
