Chaotic Fun Ghoul headcanons lets goooo💚

This mf refuses to wash his hair and needs to be restrained for a shower.

He moves in his sleep and does NOT lie still. The others have too many bruises from the constant flinching, Party got punched in the face while sleeping next to him once. The best way to counter this is to sleep on top of him.

Always on some kind of shit solely because he fucking feels like it. Whether that’s weed, battery acid or some other chemical he decided to huff, Ghoul is hardly ever sober.

Really good at making animal noises.

Can’t hear out of his left ear, thanks to his explosives.

Dare him to do something and he will do it. Will even ask the others to dare him to do stupid shit.

Has no regards for his own safety, but doesn’t do it on purpose.

A horrible flirt but makes it look fucking hilarious, which ultimately gets him a date anyways.

Carries sand in his pockets to throw at people.

Does parkour in his free time, thus why he’s constantly injured.

A goblin that likes to collect dead things, bonus points if it’s a lizard.

Scared of spiders and will cry if he sees one too close to him.

Fashioned himself some grills with sharp teeth which he wears during claps to do extra damage. When he bites he does not let go until he rips something to bits.

Got his ass beat by Kobra many times due to his pranks.

Shaved off his eyebrows one time, he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Has tripped into cactuses of various kinds on multiple occasions.

Passes out a’lot due to lack of sleep.

Constantly gropes Poison just to annoy them.

Likes the smell of spray paint and rust.

Due to his skill in making bombs he’s also really good at making fireworks, which he uses to scare the shit out of everyone at random.

Always covered in dust or motor oil.

A bipolar drunk that flips between laughing his ass off and sobbing profusely.

Starts fights constantly but hardly wins any of them.

Good at opening bottles with his teeth.

Horrible dad jokes.

Not allowed anywhere near the car since “the dune incident”.

Always gets lost, no one can take him anywhere without him wandering off.

Screams to get attention.

Always climbing on top of shit, whether that be tables, cabinets, walls, the Trans Am or Jet.

xey/xem pronouns xey/xem pronouns xey/xem pronouns

Amazing at mechanics, second only to Kobra Kid

Loves bombs. And setting shit on fire.

Stitches most of xeir injuries xemself, except for the ones xey can't get to. Jet does those.

On that note, xey are pretty rough with xeir stitches. So if xey're ever stitching someone else up, xey usually get kicked or hit.

In charge of fixing any plumbing in the Diner. Since in xeir opinion everyone else sucks at it. One time xey had to fix the bathroom sink three times in a week. It was Kobra's fault.

Doesn't know how to treat kids. Xey weren't treated like a kid for most of xeir life, so xey don't know how to treat kids like kids.

Is the one who stays at the Diner the most, though usually, xey aren't in the Diner, but in the Bar near it. It has a pool table, that's reason enough for xem.

Born and raised in the Zones, the only time xey've been to Battery City is when xey snuck in to see what it was like when xey were 15.

Is currently looking for a Hello Kitty blanket to give to Kobra Kid

@ ALL CRASHQUEENS AND KILLJOYS!

i've been in this fandom since 2016, so i've seen headcanons and zone culture and terminology of all kinds.

with that said, i'd like to present the official (unofficial) danger days dictionary.

includes everything from zone culture, slang, battery city locations, phoenix witch, even down to bad luck beads and the dust bowl.

for the nitpickers out there, the comics are mainly discarded in this— due to how overwhelming it would be to throw in even MORE overlapping terms and such. some comic characters have been slipped into the regular timeline / universe, just for funsies and a honorary mention. don't come at me, thanks!

REBLOGS RECOMMENDED.

EDIT: i'm glad everyone's enjoying this! my askbox is open for any questions or suggestions, etc. headcanons/requests are also welcome :)

[rotten-gal13]

I like to think during December/when killjoys think it is, they make a bunch of shitty ornaments and hang them on cacti. You'll see little wood carvings of flowers and animals, dolls of what a 'joy thinks the Phoenix Witch looks like, bandanas they think are real neat, going to steal MouseKat dolls from Battery City to decapitate them and hang them from the arms of a cactus. What the fuck is a biege Christmas? The trashier it looks, the better.

the ghouls are very interesting because they refuse to run on a treadmill (swiss says its too bouncy, sunny hates the noise, and the frequency of the electricity bothers phantom) so copia had to literally buy a human sized hamster wheel.

however, because of mountain and aether's large stride length, it had to be XXL large so the ghouls could run on all fours.

so the only place to put it...is in the main sanctuary:

"Blessed Dark Lord, today we raise our sins as an offering--"

*squeak squeak squeak*

Phantom scuttles on the giant wheel on the far side of the room, but the acoustics of the nave only amplify the sounds.

Copia sighs and continues on, reraising his incense burner. A sibling giggles, but everyone in the pews looks back at their unholy bibles.

"We give our sins as an offering for the deconsecration of this unholy cathedral that we call home. Let us be cursed by happiness, embraced by community, and--"

*squeak squeak THUMP thump-thump*

Everyone turns to see that Phantom lost his momentum and was forcefully tumbled around like an armadillo caught in a hurricane. He sits up, smiles brightly and starts to run on the wheel again.

i am bored and have had A Long Day so have some party poison headcanons:

•they/them (obviously). their gender is simultaneously every gender and no gender at the same time

•they have borderline personality disorder. this caused them to be extra medicated back in the city. now, they’re finally off of any and all pills, and they’re learning how to actually live with their disorder. loves reading books about mental health, and trying to figure out how to take care of themself.

•speaking of drugs, poison quit the city pills before they escaped the city. they quickly fell into other pills and drugs in the zones though. it was familiar, and it made their brain shut up for once. they have very bad PTSD, more than anyone in the zones. they don’t know just how bad it actually is, and they’ll never speak of it, but the other three know just by the way poison is. they got clean after moving into the diner. they felt safe for once, and the other three were so supportive in keeping them off of drugs. it’s hard to deal with flashbacks and all of that; every day has to be taken one step at a time with them, but they’re making it through.

•loves dancing. more than anything, really. get them drunk and on a dance floor, and their smile is wider than you’ll ever see it. they love parties and clubs, until they don’t and they’re ready to go home. they’ll dance for hours, and all of a sudden they’ll go over to one of the other three and poke them on the shoulder and that’s when they all know they’re getting overstimulated and want to go home and crash.

•yknow how i said they love dancing more than anything? well i lied. the one thing they love more than dancing is singing. they’ll take the AM and go on drives where they sing for miles and miles to whatever’s on the radio. ghoul and kobra make them tapes of their favorite songs, and sometimes the four of them will have carpool karaoke.

•goes for drives to clear their head. they’re normally not allowed to go alone, unless one of the others approves it (poison once wrecked an old car of theirs while angry driving, they don’t wanna talk about it). normally ghoul will go with them, riding shotgun with poison’s hand in theirs. poison drives until they can’t remember what was bothering them when they first turned the key.

•surprisingly a very good cook. them and jet love to cook for the others when they have the ingredients to. poison’s favorite is what they call ‘slutty pasta,’ it’s pasta with a shitload of cheese melted into the sauce. yes, it does make them sick. yes, they will eat it anyway.

•loves looking cute all of the time. even their pajamas are somehow cute and coordinated.

•cannot own un-modified clothes. they have to personalize everything, and they’ve got a whole booth in the diner reserved for whatever patches they’re painting or skirt they’re making or jacket they’re embroidering. dr. death gives the fab four almost all of the art supplies he gets; between poison and kobra they blow through paints and glues and threads and things.

•sketchbooks sketchbooks sketchbooks. they’ve got two right now that they’re working on. they’ll glue/tape little things to the pages, so it’s sort of like a scrapbook with art and writing in it. they will tape literal garbage in it, though. they’ve got the butt of their first cigarette out of the city, a list someone gave them of thrift shops out in the zones, a piece of paper bag ghoul used to scoop weed grounds one time, and so on. the others poke fun of them for this, but they really love how sentimental poison is. show pony has a polaroid camera, and loves to take pictures of their friends and give them the little prints. poison glues them all into their sketchbooks, and looks through them when they’re having a bad day.

•in eating disorder recovery, killjoy style. they hardly ate when jet and ghoul found them and kobra, and they’re trying so hard to help them recover. if poison is struggling to eat a meal in front of them, ghoul will go “hey poison. you’re a pussy if you don’t eat that mac and cheese.” or “you’re not a real killjoy if you don’t eat all those chicken nuggets,” all while sporting a shit-eating grin. poison and kobra have gotten themselves both to a healthy weights finally, and everyone couldn’t be happier.

•cigarettes are their one true love. they first started smoking when they were fourteen. they dislike vaping (even though it’s become quite the fad in the zones, ever since people started smuggling them out of the city), they vaped for around a year and it killed their lungs. cigarettes only for poison, and they’d have it no other way.

•yknow how i said they decorate their clothes? well they also decorate the diner. they’ll hang up art made by them or kobra all over the walls of the diner, and they let kobra paint straight onto the walls.

•loves science for some reason? dr. death gives them all sorts of books on biology and animals and ecosystems and such, and they absolutely love it. they wanna be a biologist in another life. they love teaching the others about shit they read, like animal facts and such. kobra will listen to poison infodump for hours.

that is all for now thank you

funpoison hcs for the unsinkable soul

you can literally never spot one without the other. where ghoul is, theres poison, and vice versa

he likes kissing their fingers and making a big deal out of it

they love slow dancing. ghoul's shit at it but poison slowly teaches him how to lead so they could do it together

poison taught themselves sign so they could talk to him even if he didnt want to hear any sounds

ghoul likes taking pictures of poison when they're asleep. its a rare occurence and they look so peaceful so it just cant resist

he has a huge pile of photos hidden away from their sight of them cuddling a pillow or smiling in their sleep while wearing ghoul's shirt or with the girl's weight spread on top of their chest

poison tried to get a tattoo of ghoul's symbol to match the one he got of them but passed out after one line was drawn and ghoul refused to let the guy* tattoo them when they were passed out so now they just have a single line on the back of their hand that ghoul scribbles the rest of his symbol with a sharpie

he knows exactly how they take their coffee and brings one to them every morning without fail. its a hassle for him to get up early and make it, but its all worth it to see the smile on their face and the slight blush when he kisses them

poison often leans against it when they're tired, burying their face in its shoulders, and he lets them stay there for as long as necessary until they feel better

poison often finds their fingers absent mindedly drawing ghoul, tracing his face on whatever medium they find closest. its an exact copy of them too

they absolutely melt whenever ghoul calls them any nickname

ghoul's nicknames for poison include but are not limited to: cherry bomb, pois, sunshine, baby, asshole (affectionately)

party usually only calls ghoul ghoulie

party's breathe catches everytime they look at ghoul (thank you leigh bardugo)

hes set them on fire a few times. they dont care though. "love makes you blind", they joke, and kobra slaps them on the head because HOW DO YOU NOT NOTICE YOURE ON FIRE

they physically cant be apart for too long. party gets twitchy and ghoul has this sinking feeling in its gut and it wont go away until theyre back in each others' arms.

they've often talked about the possibility of a future. they know its impossible for the two of them, but they cant help but wonder if there was any way that they could get married and have kids.

on that note: ghoul told them that if they survived [the sing mission], the first thing they'd do after they got back was get married

spiderman kiss

they often squeeze each other's hand three times, especially in crowded places

party painted ghoul's symbol on their gun. they dont know if ghoul noticed

he has, and it drives it insane. he got a carnation tattoo in the same color as their hair over its bicep. "its not a competition, ghoul" it quite literally is.

whenever poison's anxiety gets too out of control they immediately trace ghoul's tattoos with their fingers or draw some more on him on his thighs and torso. if he really likes it he actually gets them tattooed

the closest thing they come to having a kid together is a lizard they found lying on the road and took home. his name is Gayboy McLarry the Fifth. He died one day when Ghoul and Poison were out and Kobra silently tried to replace him in vain. Instead he got them a pet rock called Gayboy McLarry the Sixth. there was a funeral for the Fifth.

Kobra called them 'Mr. and Mx. McLarry' for way too long which is probably the closest they've come to being married

Fun Ghoul from Danger Days is Autistic!

[release-the-mccracken]

I'm just thinking about Ghoul doing Poison's makeup and nails. Poison's done their own for a while, more comfortable exploring more femme parts of themselves. And they've gotten pretty good at it. And along comes Ghoul one day, wide-eyed and curious.

He doesn't want makeup or nails done on him, though Poison definitely offers. Maybe he'll let them do his nails at some point, he's not against it. But he's moreso curious about it on them.

He's curious, wondering if he could do that. So, he tries. He's as careful as he can be, letting them instruct him on what goes where. He does his best, trying to make it look good. It ends up looking terrible, just awful, but they still wear it and they wear it so fucking proudly. Because their boy did that and it feels like them.

[agxinstthesun]

an overly complex analysis of how the killjoys deal with loss

party poison-

party poison has a soul crushing fear of death. maybe it isn’t apparent- not what you’d expect from someone who appears so confident and in tune with themselves, but there’s signs. the way their eyes go dark when anyone in the crew gets even slightly injured- the way they're always first to volunteer to stay up all night on patrol, knowing their paranoia would keep them up either way. you could chalk it up to their “leader instincts,” but their crew would argue it runs deeper than that. a good leader doesn’t have to do what party does- a good leader - by zone standards - keeps the group motivated- keeps them from splitting up. party poison keeps the group alive, together. they took a team and effortlessly morphed it into a family. admitting to it would feed their suspended guilt even more, but each time they hear of a death outside their inner circle, a small part of them is relieved that it wasn't their family blinded by the witches touch that day.

if it were to happen, it would destroy them. the loss would be bad enough, but the guilt of it all might be enough to put them out of commission for a long while. as strong as they are, the role of "leader" digs into them like the soles of a brand new pair of shoes. leaving an indent of responsibility and overcompensation in the sand with every step they take.

jet star-

jet star never strays far from death, not since what happened to his family. finding his parents ghosted after an unexpected raid carried out by some particularly violent exterminators was the catalyst for a lot of things in his life. his heightened sympathy for the dead and the mourning was one of those things. he was known throughout the desert as a safe person to talk to about those topics. it was even said that he would offer sympathy despite negative affiliations or disagreements your group had with his. it'd be a lie to say it didn't weigh on him, though. the anger built up from hearing all of these stories and the lingering effects from his own experiences culminated in an intense hatred for BLI and everything they had done. this passion was the one thing him and party poison truly connected over when they first met.

it's no surprise that, if confronted by a companions passing, this anger and passion would hit him hard. how unfair it is, how inhumane, it shakes him. initially, he'd think to organize- to finally just go for it and take out as many of those pigs as possible- but he wouldn't. he's too aware of the amount of people in the zones that still need him. he's second in command, he's as much a leader as party is. still, he'd become distant. it'd serve as another warning not to get too close, to not give too much of yourself to something that is only ever temporary.

fun ghoul-

fun ghoul doesn't acknowledge death. despite his ever frequent catfights with it, he manages to get by rarely considering the possibility. the truth being that if he did, the weight of it all would crush him. deep down, he knows he's helpless to it. he knows that each time he evades her grasp, she gets smarter. it's no doubt it'll all catch up to him eventually..but his friends are all untouchable. seeing them injured, near ghosted? it never feels real. on a bad night, he'll think of how the others must look down, mortified, to him each time he’s left bleeding out against the desert sun. it gives him a sense of importance sometimes, but usually it just builds guilt.

if he had to face a loss head on, it would be a pivotal moment to him. as the reality set in, he'd feel lost. stupid for being naive enough to ignore it for so long. that love of throwing himself into the danger that he relied so heavily on before would fade just as fast as it came, the loss weighing him down in small ways for as long as he lived. the remorse he’d feel for pushing his love inward, and seldom expressing it, would sit heavy on his shoulders. he'd cling even more to whatever it is he had left, and protect it with his whole life.

kobra kid-

kobra kid is conflicted on death. of course it scared him- the thought that he would disappear one day, but more often than not, he caught himself wondering if that was just something he had picked up from party. the longer he thought about it on his own time, the more the thought became oddly comforting. the fact that there would eventually be a moment of rest amidst all the chaos didn’t sound all that bad to him..of course, it also pissed him off. it made him mad that the city forced that mindset onto you. the idea that submitting yourself to death was the only way to true freedom. however, it wouldn’t take long for the morbid curiosity found its way back to him.

he was almost too aware of the looming presence of death around him and the rest of the crew (the rest of the desert, really). if it happened, he wouldn’t be shocked, but deeply mourning still. he’d send letters in the mailbox, despite always considering it a futile effort. he’d silently participate in whatever zone rituals he thought would help him feel better, though they almost never would. he’d become especially reclusive and unresponsive to sympathy- it’s just something people do to feel like they’re helping, right? he’s way more dependent on his crew than he’d ever let on, and this fate would only further prove that.

[ghostinthez0nes]

Mostly angsty Fun Ghoul headcanons lets go

Out of everyone in the gang he’s gotten the most injuries, and has the most scars. These scars vary from burns he got from testing a faulty bomb to slicing his palm open from trying to open a can of power pup with a screw driver. His biggest scar is on the back if his right shoulder extending down his arm from detonating a bomb too close to a car which he couldn’t dodge in time during a fire fight.

He always carries something that belongs to his crew mates on him wherever he goes. He believes they are good luck charms and will keep him out of trouble. He has a lightning bolt keychain from Kobra, a cool rock that Jet gave him, and a piece of Party’s hair he braided into his own.

Ghoul is the most huggable fucker in the zones, he will hug anybody and everybody. Its his way of greeting people and coping with feeling distant, it helps him stay grounded. Physical touch is his love language so simply having some contact with someone will cheer him up. When he’s not sure someone wants to be touched he always asks them before he does so. It also makes him feel like he has a sense of community and that he hasn’t been completely rejected by everyone. If you hug him he will lean into you with everything he’s got.

Ghoul doesn’t mean to be reckless, he just can’t seem to stay grounded and pay attention most times. Due to years of being in survival mode its the only way his brain allows him to process anything. He’s constantly disassociating and this can lead to random bouts of panic and sadness. His sense of danger and consequence isn’t so good either, and his spacial awareness is pretty much fucked too, which makes him a candidate for getting injured a’lot. This also leads him to make dangerous decisions in the moment, which can lead to the people around him getting hurt, and this more than anything makes him feel like a terrible person. To him the worst thing he can do is hurt the people he loves in any way. He just isn’t aware of himself most times, and when he realizes this and what it entails it causes him to shut down. He relies on the others to keep him sane a’lot, because he’s lost the ability to healthily do it himself. The gang have learned to work around this, especially Party. They always make sure to pull Ghoul back to reality however they can in the moment, from a tight hug to simply snapping their fingers. He tries to brush it off a’lot, but needs a’lot of reassurance that he’s not a horrible person.

Ghoul is 90% deaf in his left ear, due to an accident with one of his explosives. Hearing aids are hard to come by in the zones so Kobra managed to fashion him one. He’s become more wary of his surroundings because of this, and always makes sure to double check where a noise is coming from.

Nightmares, he has a’lot of them. He doesn’t like to talk about them either. On nights where he has them he cries in his sleep. If the others don’t notice he doesn’t tell them, but they know when he’s had a bad night from the dark tint under his eyes and how he flinches more than usual. He also breathes heavier throughout the day afterwards and refuses to sleep unless someone is there with him for the night.

If theres one thing that’s undoubtedly true about Ghoul its that he’s sincere. He will always try to help out someway even if he doesn’t really know how to. He does his very best with what he knows and always tries to make things work. His loyalty to his loved ones is unmatched and he will gladly die for them if it mean’t it would keep them safe.

Sometimes when he’s stressed, he takes some of his bombs out into the barrens of the desert and just blows them to shit. Watching the explosions eases some of his tension so it doesn’t boil over into making everyone else feel like shit. He’s mostly quiet about his frustrations but when he feels like its getting too bad blowing things up is one of the only things that makes him feel better that doesn’t put too much stress on his loved ones, ironically enough. The gang don’t really approve of when he does his but they understand him enough so they let him be.

He has this tendency to randomly throw things around. Especially when he’s bored, he’ll definitely be hurling any random object he can get his hands on at walls, ceilings and even the others because why the fuck not. He’s mindful of what he throws at people though because he doesn’t want to kill anyone on accident, which almost happened when he threw a wrench and Jet randomly popped out from behind the garage door. If he does throw shit at anybody it’ll be something annoying like sand or confetti.

Ghoul is very spiritual, or at least an avid worshipper of the Phoenix Witch. He prays to her often, especially before fire fights. He sometimes leaves her offerings at his bedroom door in hopes that she visits, these can range from trinkets and feathers to bones. He also finds that his faith keeps him grounded. He finds it comforting to know that there is something out there watching and maybe even listening to him in the dead of night when he can’t sleep. He visits the mailbox often too, to pay silent respects to the joys that have fallen. He also takes whatever he finds in the desert there if he thinks it belongs to someone, and if its still there the next time he stops by he’ll know they’re still alive.

He sometimes forgets he can feel pain, and if anything he sees pain as an inconvenience and an annoyance. It makes him think of his incompetence, which is an illusion to everyone but him. Sometimes he wishes he couldn’t feel anything because he believes that it would just slow him down. He gets sad when the others dress his wounds sometimes because it makes him remember that even if he wanted to, there will come a time where he won’t be strong enough to protect them.

Headcanon that every month BL/ind dump all of their ‘garbage ’ into the zones, and Zonerunners will come and forage through it like they’re in a target store.

The Fab Four will go every month to find ‘new’ clothes, supplies, and a lot of the time come back with old toys for The Girl

And a lot of the stuff that’s dumped is still very much usable, but of course BL/ind would be a wasteful corporation.

This is alway why even The Fab Four are seen wearing symbols associated with BL/Ind (D3ad Pegasus, Mousecat)

In Battery City, plastic surgery is not a luxury, it is a necessity for some. You have to be at least somewhat similar to each other. You gotta fit our strict beauty standards! Your ass is too small, it's not sexy, you need butt implants. Your stomach judges out just a little too much for our liking, we'll take you in for an emergency liposuction. Oh dear, you've started developing some wrinkles? No worries, our surgeons are skilled and perform plenty of face lifts each year. Sense of uniqueness and individuality? What's that? It's much better to fit a mold. Individuality is for killjoys, don't be a killjoy!

I’ve noticed something about Charon!

After every enemy he shoots and kills, he always fires an extra round into the corpse. Now....Maybe I just smoke way too much weed when I play Fallout 3, but I swear I've seen Charon do this multiple times.

I've replayed Fallout 3 a couple of times and Charon is always my go to companion. (After I get a fuckton of caps, smh) And this most recent play through I have been staring at his character a bit more than usual.

When you recruit Charon and he kills Ahzrukhal, he shoots him twice, even though the first shotgun blast did the job just fine. I've never paid this much mind, thinking it was ONLY just because of his hatred for Ahzrukhal. But now I've noticed he does this with all enemies! (Well most, he and Dogmeat kill shit fast af and I don't always see it)

This is just kind of interesting to me! Always making sure an enemy is dead by doing a double tap is a great reassurance in the apocalypse. It totally makes sense for Charon's character as well. He is a perceptive person, and has probably had more than his share of bad experiences with things not being quite dead. I also wonder if he was taught this skill or if he learned it the hard way?

Even if this is just my imagination it’s something neat to think about with his character!!
