♡ Fandom Faves Tag ♡

Tag 1-3 (or as many as you want) of your favorite creators (writers, artists, outstanding members of the community etc) and link your favorite creation if you can.

Thank you for the tags @midnight-moth and @coffeeghoulie! I'm gonna challenge myself to not wax poetic and keep these extra short and sweet. That way it's not as intimidating for others to participate (hope that makes sense). Oh and I'm not putting a "keep reading."

Witness my faves (ง •̀_•́)ง

@midnight-moth (who started this tag game ♡) drew THE Phantom art of all time and I recently went absolutely feral for:

Buried in Treasure - Dew x Phantom - E, 3.6k

When his eyes roll forward again, he notices more than just the same riff playing over and over. He notices Phantom’s grip on his hand simultaneously go still and tight. He notices the rosy flush on his cheeks, and the tent in his pants that he tries to conceal with the hand holding the phone. It takes more than a few seconds for all of the dots to connect and when the thought is fully formed, Dew grabs the phone and launches it to the end of the bed.

@ramblingoak hey why is there an angel in the satanic band fandom? I created this whole blog so I could shout about:

The Cardinal's Bride - Cardinal Copia x F!Reader - E, 91k (wip)

A Romantic Adventure in the Old West: After being forced into a marriage with Mr. Saltarian by your father you are sent west to his estate in Nevada. Along the way you end up meeting one of the cowboys you have always fantasized about…

@conjuring-ghouls finds the perfect moments and turns them into the loveliest gifs. On top of that she is endlessly kind and supportive. Look at these!!!

@coffeeghoulie is writing the Aeon x Swiss hurt/comfort fic of y'all's dreams and I got to do my first "official" art collab for it yay!!

Eternal Heatstroke - Aeon x Swiss - M, 17k (wip)

For once in their life, Aeon feels lucky. Whoever's opened this portal, whoever's summoning ghouls Up Top, specifically wants a quintessence ghoul. They may not be the biggest or strongest quintessence ghoul, far from it, but they'll do anything this summoner wants if it means they get to live. Or: being Topside is a drastic change from the life Aeon's used to.

@writingjourney truly the kindest soul and an absurdly talented writer. I screenshot Ibi's tags on my posts all the time because they cheer me up so much 🥹🥹

Friday Nights (series) - Papas x GN!Reader - E, 40k

“But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together.” ― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla Each of these stories features a vampire papa and a gender neutral reader.

@anamelessfool writes some of the best world building and characterizations that I have ever read in fanfiction AND she's a fantastic artist.

Violence & Gentleness - Primo x OC - E, 50k (wip)

You made me forget myself...I thought I was someone else, someone good... LATE OCTOBER 1979 Primo has his work cut out for him as the bodyguard of the beautiful and fearsome Mater Emerita Jocasta. As mystery after mystery unfolds, it becomes harder to remain a honest man in this den of thieves called the Ministry.

@foxybouquet makes wonderful art and her colloquial Italian posts are an incredible resource for the fandom.

@angellayercake has angel in her username for a reason tbh. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I learned important things about myself and my love language whilst reading the brilliant:

Banchetto - Terzo x F!Reader - E, 22k (wip)

Papa Emeritus III is struggling to adapt to his life after the Ghost project but perhaps some good homemade Italian food will do the trick.

(I'm cutting myself off here because I could do this all day. I will probably be making another list in the near future because I love and admire so many of you. 😅)

No pressure at all but I would really love to see this tag game keep going! If you're reading this please consider adding some of your personal favorites to the list! This fandom could use some positivity right about now ♡

That's how it went right

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Hello friend! How would the Emeritus boys (I, II, and III) react to having a baby sister? She's an Emeritus, white eye and everything, and definitely in line to become Papa. Would you mind explaining how the different stages of her life would be with the brothers? First word, first day of Ghoul School (lol), first partner, etc. Thank you!

Oooooh, this is a cool one! I hope you enjoy!!

Also, since there was no age given in the prompt I went ahead and made her around the same age or a couple years younger than Copia.

Also also, I feel like it's important to restate, Copia is NOT related to the Emeritus bloodline at all in my works. So he is an outsider who has gained Papacy.

(Edit: This was written before Chapter 9 was out, so the lore has since changed. But everything in the post remains the same, except only Papa I knows Copia is Nihil’s estranged son. So the Mama here still thinks Copia is an outsider. Thanks!)

The Emeritus Life with a Baby Sister who is a Future Mama

~The Future Mama was born when the brothers were already older children, so she was immediately doted on by her brothers. Nihil was quite proud of himself for being able to produce another worthy heir. Everyone was surprised there was no immediate sibling rivalry within the family. If anything the boys grew to be protective of their youngest sibling the older they grew. This is typically because the eldest child of an era has the most pressure and the youngest the least. So the brothers wanted to keep their youngest as safe from the cruel expectations of their bloodline as possible.

~Has the same type of relationship with Nihil as her brothers do. Being the baby has not awarded her any extra of her father's time. So like her brothers, she is polite and courteous to the Grandpapa. Honoring him publicly and tolerating him for any amount of 'family time'. Much prefers the company of her brothers.

~Because she was the baby of the family she was definitely spoiled, but had to work harder than all of her siblings to prove herself. Because there were already three heirs before her, there was very little chance of her becoming Mama. If she had WANTED to, she could have contributed little to the clergy in terms of leadership and have gotten away with it. But because she wanted to earn her title she had to prove herself that she CAN work hard and isn't just a pampered show dog.

~Like any member of the family, Mama does have attendant ghouls. Ranging through the years from ghoul nannies, to tutors, and even a body guard. Usually the higher the rank of someone the more ghouls that are personally tied to them. When she first graduated from seminary, one of the bloodline rituals for each heir is to summon their own personal ghoul. Mama summoned the ghoulette we now know as 'Mist'. They are very close. It was Mama who encouraged Mist to take part in touring with her older brother, the third.

~Mama has definitely been more restless than her brothers. The older she has gotten the more she wanted to explore the world. Not being the next in line for the throne OR the band has given her more room to explore her options. Currently Mama goes around the world to oversee abbeys and their expansions. She has found a love of meeting those outside of the faith and has taken many a lover who weren't converted. Mama has written many letters and papers on the cultures outside of their own and their importance. Academically and emotionally this had made her feel more fulfilled.

~Gender doesn't apply to any raising of heirs for the most part. As a child and teen Mama was expected to go through schooling, private tutoring, rituals, and seminary like every other heir. Though, like with her brothers, she does has a choice of HOW she chooses to study for Papacy. This includes picking a demonic patron, a leadership position in running a sect or abbey, and core values unique to one's personal preaching style.

~That being said, there does exist SOME gender standards that many Mamas have had to fight against in the past centuries. Being a future Mama always gives her more pressure to commune with Lilith on TOP of being able to commune with Lucifer. Lilith is the patrons of both Matriarchs and mothers alike, so being able to commune with both shows a powerful ruler. This Mama has decided to be empowered by Lilith while fighting these standards. Especially with the modern age of Feminism, she is very popular among younger ladies who wish to do more in the clergy outside of the Sisterhood. Mama does a wonderful job of reinforcing that Lucifer does NOT tolerate any forms of binary gendered expectations, no matter how "well intentioned."

~Because of this bond with Lilith, Mama and her youngest older brother, the Third, have a very close bond. If anything, Papa III has been a "bad" influence in helping his sister be mischievous and rebellious in their own ways. He helps shape her unconventional style of worship. Mama was the one to convince Papa to TAKE his papacy by the horns and do things HIS way. He attributes a lot of his success to the undying support of all of his siblings. Papa wants to make his baby sister proud and confident when it is HER turn to succeed him.

~In recent years there is a very subtle rivalry with the former Cardinal Copia. Mama and Copia had something in common in which they both had to prove themselves more than the previous Papas. The only reason Papa Emeritus IV prevailed was that he was a few years older and had more "experience". Mama hasn't let this usurper stop her from working hard on earning her place among the Emeritus. Copia doesn't have a bloodline YET, and has infinite chances to fuck up. She's still working hard to take back the throne and linage from the man. One day she will reign proudly as Mama Emerita Zero.
