#fossil ghouls

[dynoguard]

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

The Republican Party is run by Christian Zionists who are convinced that starting WW III in Jerusalem will fulfill an apocalyptic prophecy that will automatically teleport them to heaven. As horrible as the Palestinian genocide is under these crusty old war hawks who’ve been baying for blood and oil since the Iran-Contra era, I guarantee you it will be ten million times worse if Donnie takes control and he has the entire Christian Dominionist donor convention hissing flattery into his ears.

It sucks balls, but if it comes down to it, we have to vote pragmatically. And even if you don’t want to cast your vote for the Lesser Evil and put Harambe as the write-in candidate instead, at least show up to the polls to make sure your county government doesn’t vote some whackadoodle Liberty Mom who wants to put all gay teachers into a wood chipper onto your school board.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau put forward a new regulation to limit bank overdraft fees. The CFPB pointed out that the average overdraft fee is $35 even though majority of overdrafts are under $26 and paid back with-in 3 days. The new regulation will push overdraft fees down to as little as $3 and not more than $14, saving the American public collectively 3.5 billion dollars a year.

The Environmental Protection Agency put forward a regulation to fine oil and gas companies for emitting methane. Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas, after CO2 and is responsible for 30% of the rise of global temperatures. This represents the first time the federal government has taxed a greenhouse gas. The EPA believes this rule will help reduce methane emissions by 80%

The Energy Department has awarded $104 million in grants to support clean energy projects at federal buildings, including solar panels at the Pentagon. The federal government is the biggest consumer of energy in the nation. The project is part Biden's goal of reducing the federal government's greenhouse gas emissions by 65% by 2030. The Energy Department estimates it'll save taxpayers $29 million in the first year alone and will have the same impact on emissions as taking over 23,000 gas powered cars off the road.

The Education Department has cancelled 5 billion more dollars of student loan debt. This will effect 74,000 more borrowers, this brings the total number of people who've had their student loan debt forgiven under Biden through different programs to 3.7 Million

U.S. Agency for International Development has launched a program to combat lead exposure in developing countries like South Africa and India. Lead kills 1.6 million people every year, more than malaria and AIDS put together.

Congressional Democrats have reached a deal with their Republican counter parts to revive the expanded the Child Tax Credit. The bill will benefit 16 million children in its first year and is expected to lift 400,000 children out of poverty in its first year. The proposed deal also has a housing provision that could see 200,000 new affordable rental units

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.

[kick-a-long]

I've thought about how to say this or if I should but I figured it might be nice to know you're not yelling into a void. I used to be your pretty standard left leaning anti-zionist. I used to always insist that Jewish people didn't need Israel to be a thing and "if they all moved to NYC tomorrow nobody would even notice" because I honestly thought that antisemitism was this ancient fossil that only edgy middle school boys and 4-channers throw around and if the US became home to all the world's jews they could be safe without the need for any further violence. Which was so horrifyingly naive (especially considering I myself was labeled as jewish by classmates for sobbing during documentary about the holocaust and having physical features they thought where jewish) that if I didn't have some pollyanna 'surely everyone is trying their best to be nice' instances in the past I would have thought I had a stroke or something. The antisemitism that I've seen in people I thought where otherwise good and kind individuals post the events of October has shaken the absolute hell out of me. It makes me feel sick to think they where just laying in wait for an excuse to be more public with their hate. I know now that Jewish people don't just need Israel, they deserve to have a place where they can know for sure they'll be safe and that absolute ghouls aren't going to jump out of no-where. Thank you for being so open about what you experience.

the past is the past. you see it now and you were brave enough to reach out, good for you. always happy to hear that non-jews are seeing the absolute bat shit bigotry against jews too.

speak up about it. antisemites keep gaslighting jews by saying we're making antisemitism up. you can make a huge difference just by pointing out things that are antisemitic to people around you irl. on the internet any neo nazi can pretend to be "just supporting" Palestine by sharing blood libel. pictures, flyers and slogans from the anti israel protests are pretty clearly antisemitic not just obviously genocidal about Israelis (jews, and any type of arab living there.) challenge your friends you know want to end bigotry to look for it.

you can start by looking at news paper head lines that are written to unfairly paint Israelis and jews as aggressors and liars compared with literal terrorist groups (especially the houthis and hezbollah who are literally slave traders, like actually kidnapping woman (including muslims and christians et all) and selling them into sex slavery.)

[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.

[lazleylazarus]

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

[grimlyink-but-creative]

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!

[notesfromtheidiotbox]

Just a reminder that this project is still in development, just slowed down because of the pandemic and presumably the current strikes. (Don't scab, people. The executives will just throw you away when they don't need you anymore, and you'll be exiled from the system once the union members are back to work.)

I am very grateful that Trent (@therobotmonster) , Greg (@siphersaysstuff), and the others involved have allowed me to come play in their sandbox and hopefully create a fun show combining the creative goofiness of 80s & 90s kidvid with current day animation storytelling and make something fun and interesting.

(And hopefully some cool ass toys too!)

DynoGuard Art Round Up: Heroic Dinos

[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.

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!

For this list, I opted to remove these suggestions as I think these are remnants of the edgy humour of the 2000s that is best being left behind.)

Some of these suggestions came from my friends and members in Scem0 K1dz (Discord server).

https://thescenebible.blogspot.com/2021/10/blog-post.html?m=1 (Currently working on slowly adding anything from here.) TRIGGER WARNING: A lot of names involve mental disorders, medical conditions and medications. I will be including some of these, mostly in the 'Use At Your Own Risk' section.

[swallowedbyfandom]

When I find out which of you monsters told mother that my ability to sire children could be permanently impaired from the sunburn, I shall end you. That is a promise. My wrath and retribution shall make Pompeii like a trifling inconvenient by comparison.

Mother called a "Doctor" to check up on my manly bits. Do any of you heathens know what all that entails? That old withered piece of leather would not leave before I could prove my equipment still worked! Did you know telling him I can get and maintain an erection was not enough? No, apparently that pervert wanted me to wank and spill my seed in front of him! It took over an hour to convince that charlatan that the full powers of Jesus Christ would not allow me to maintain an erection long enough to wank if he was watching. Still that galling creature stood right outside the door until I was able to perform.

The horrors did not end there. That man proceeded to test my spend, in front of me! How did he test it? What marvel of modern science did he use? I shall tell you. His fingers! He dripped his finger into the cup he had me aim my seed into, and proceeded to rub my seed twixt his fingers. He had the temerity to complement me on the viscosity of it. Then that quack went so far as to smell it! He had the audacity to tell me to adjust my diet as my seed smelled weak! He even whipped out a tiny magnifying glass and just admired my seed. He said he was looking for abnormalities. I did not believe him for a single second. The only abnormality present was him!

I am certain that hack must have forged his medical license. There is no earthly possibility that was a legitimate test for fertility. Then that cad departed on his merry way. He left me in the room holding my tattered dignity and a cup full of my spend. You have no idea the lengths I had to go through to dispose of that cup discreetly, without offending the household servants. I would have drowned myself in the Thames if Mrs. Wilson caught me holding that cup.

Anthony effective immediately I am moving into my bachelor quarters. I will not live under the same roof as mother. She invited that awful "Doctor" into our home and allowed him to trample on my dignity. I have never felt so violated in my entire life.

How ever will I be able to lay with someone again without having a flashback to that fossilized ghoul playing with my seed? Do not come to call on me. I will be drunk for the next week trying to blot out this humiliation.

Vengeance will be mine,

Benedict

Brother,

I played no part in your current misfortune. I have been entirely too busy this week rewarding my wife and tending to my children. God, Ben, I passed out from lack of oxygen momentarily while laughing at your letter. I apologize for finding humor in your dire situation but you must understand I thought your letter a crude jest. It sounded too outrageous to be real.

Pen found me reading your letter and she was absolutely aghast. She scolded me for laughing at your plight, and assured me that it sounded very similar to what she has read in that medical book that she bought while pregnant. She hopes you now agree, that book is evil and the author of said book is obviously an agent of Satan. Her words, not mine. My wife said your experience sounded more primitive than what she read. If the doctor was as old as you described he may be using outdated methods.

The book has been in Bridgerton House for over a year. Kate rescued it when she found Pen trying to burn it. Pen said part of the book covered the male reproductive system. It apparently included has a section focused on castration. Kate likes to read that section when she is feeling particularly cross with Ant. She vaguely recalls the book mentioning prolonged fevers can lead to infertility in men.

Perhaps mother found the book at Bridgerton house and read it? I cannot imagine any of our siblings being shameless enough to talk with mama about your seed. Either way the pool of people who knew about your injury cannot be that large. Good luck in your investigation, brother.

For my peace of mind, I must know how you disposed of that cup and its contents. Please, the curiosity is killing me.

Keep an eye out for one of our servants. Once our cook is done preparing dinner, Pen is sending over a hamper of food and spirits to help comfort you this evening. Isn't my wife the sweetest woman ever?

Your most helpful brother,

Colin

Ben,

Simon finds your letter most entertaining. I do not! I must ask Benedict, have you lost your mind? Did the sunburn leave you with some form of brain damage?

What possessed you to send such filth, to my husband and I? We have two small children and a third on the way. Do you imagine we have much free time? Do you imagine we would waste what little free time we have sitting around talking about your genitals? Do you imagine we want to read about your genitals?

The hubris of you! To send such a descriptive account of your personal medical matters. Why would you share all that? Do you think Kate, Pen, and I are not humiliated by having insensitive doctors and midwives poking about our intimate areas? Do you hear us talking about? No. Have we ever sent out letters detailing the procedures? Of course not. We are not classless, savages. Some matters are not for sharing.

I speak for everyone, everywhere. We do not want to read your sordid tales of self gratification. Nor do we want to read about your seed. Do not speak to us again until you apologize for the vile letter you sent us.

I have half a mind to forward this letter to mama. So she can see how terribly she raised you.

Disappointed in you,

Daphne

Brother,

I did not know mother arranged for you to be seen by a Doctor. I would never have allowed such a thing. What happens in a man's trousers is his own damn business. You are a grown man, you can decide medical matters for yourself.

That being said, Benedict you are half past twenty. Why did you leave such an inflammatory letter behind? Could you not have simply spoken to me as an adult? What if Greg or Hyacinth had read that letter?

God Ben, I am mortified on your behalf. However, I absolutely do not have the time or the energy to get in the middle of this shite show. I am too busy trying to balance my work and our ever growing family.

You and mother are adults. I expect you both to sort this mess out among yourselves. You are both being childish. Mother should never have meddled in your affairs in such an appalling manner. On the other hand, you should not have continued the exam if you were uncomfortable. You are twenty five years old. You cannot run away from home, in a huff. Move out properly, so I don't have to worry about you. Hire a cook, fill your pantry, and staff your home. I will send over your belongings tomorrow.

I just want to cuddle my children and ravish my wife in peace!

Exhaustedly,

Ant

[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.
