Halo, my ghoul OC (original species!)

The first ghoul I’ve designed using my personal ghoul lore HCs, which I plan to complete at a later date. I ship her with Secondo entirely because it makes me happy, and… I want to redesign her with white fur on her hands and feet instead of red. For now, though, this is what I have done, so oh well!

Ghoul type: Wrath

Gender: Cis woman (she/her)

Sexuality: Demisexual/Biromantic

(Backstory under the cut, CW for gore and murder ghoul shenanigans. Very long!)

Halo is a wrath ghoul, one of nine known ghoul species that descended from the angels that fell from Heaven after Lucifer’s rebellion. These ghouls are the most dangerous to humans, as their society revolves around hunting and killing humans. This can clearly be seen in the wardrobe of royals, which is made from tanned human leather.

Halo was one of these royals before her summoning. Current rulers give Lucifer their consent to transform a ghoul of their choice (usually within their own family) into a ruler when their time has passed, as rulers have unique sets of powers that can only be granted by Him. When a ruler is prepared to retire, they give their preferred successor a task to complete before they ascend in their place. For Halo, her mother Queen Detritus tasked her with seeking out a summoning portal, murdering a human, and returning to Hell with a human heart in her mouth as proof.

As she had extreme confidence in Halo, this task was made to be incredibly easy- most summoning circles are created by foolhardy horror junkies who have no way of keeping ghouls from killing them, much less tethering them to the mortal plane. Without a ritual to tether them, ghouls will return to Hell shortly after being summoned. Needless to say, most humans have no chance of surviving an attack from an average wrath ghoul, much less a well-trained royal ghoul, so she was expected to be back with her task completed almost as soon as she found her first summoning circle.

Unfortunately for all parties involved, her summoners were the grand clergy of Ghost, who had prepared for absolutely anything a freshly summoned ghoul could throw at them.

Halo immediately tried to lunge at the first human she saw, and was instantly met with a spiritual barrier she had no hope of breaking. That doesn’t mean she didn’t try, though, and the Clergy, having never summoned such an aggressive Ghoul before, wondered if they should even bother tethering her. Secondo, ever the impatient one, insisted that he needed his troupe of ghouls summoned as soon as possible, and scoffed at the less experienced summoners who ran screaming upon seeing her terrifying attempt at a brutal attack.

Eventually, the Clergy found it safer to tether her and render her unconscious with Omega’s quintessence while they tried in vain to change Secondo’s mind about keeping this ghoul. Surely, there was no chance at taming such a predatory and violent ghoul as Halo- but Secondo disagreed. To the Clergy’s complete shock, he was able to confuse her into buying into the ministry’s greater plan of worshipping Satan… simply by refusing to react to her gnashing teeth and terrifying claws.

Secondo feared many things, but death simply wasn’t one of them.

Impressed by his resolve and this church’s unexpected devotion to Satan, Halo was eventually freed from solitary confinement when it was proven that she wouldn’t spontaneously attack the other ghouls- though she would only get along with a few of them. Even still, Halo desperately thought of ways to free herself from the tether and discreetly kill a human so she could return to her family and her new monarchy. It was all anyone expected of her, all anyone ever admired about her, and surely her monarchy would be suffering if something bad happened to Queen Detritus while she was trapped here…

It took a very long time for Halo to accept her situation, but among the many things that helped was Pebble, an earth ghoul, teaching her to drum for the ever-successful band project. Frustratingly, none of the ghouls around her could relate to her struggles topside, as most of them were either normal citizens of ghoul societies or complete rogues before their summoning…

Eventually, though, it was Secondo that Halo felt herself become strangely attached to. He, too, felt as though he was only valued for his status as part of the Emeritus bloodline, and felt like no matter how hard he tried, he was but a puppet in the Clergy’s grand plan, to only be given the illusion of success and grandeur before being tossed aside for whoever they preferred to be next. Though their struggles weren’t the exact same, and Halo was still terrified, the idea that even a human could understand her struggles had her questioning whether she truly wanted to return to Hell.

Months after her summoning, Secondo had pondered the idea himself. He’d kept Halo around to prove to the Clergy that he could hold his own in even the worst situations, but now that she was somewhat tamed, he’d wondered if it was cruel to keep a ghoul that seemed far better suited for Hell trapped on the mortal plane. Over time, though, Halo realized that these humans found fulfillment in serving the Dark One just as she did. If the purpose of the ghouls as a whole were to guard Hell and Lucifer himself… perhaps this was how she was meant to serve Him- by freeing humans from God’s tyrranical grasp and showing them the guidance of the morning star.

The moment she learned that the total contentment she felt around her Papa was what love felt like, Halo found that the taste of human flesh was no longer something she wanted more than to stay with him.

…If Secondo wished for her to kill for him, though, all he had to do was say the word.

Sister: I support all the Papas equally. :)

Also Sister: I don't care for Terzo.

Working on a much larger comic but have a short and sweet moment I made as a break from it

People seemed like papa Tang so have some more📚🖍️❤️

[heich0e]

just had a vivid mental image of kageyama talking to oikawa and iwa at the olympics, telling them about you and the baby, and when he finally walks away and leaves tooru and hajime alone, tooru shudders.

"i've never heard him talk that much," tooru complains, wrapping his arms around himself as if for comfort. "or look like that."

"like what?" iwa snaps, scanning through the papers on his clipboard outlining the day's schedule for the national team. he pays little mind to his childhood friend's dramatics.

"so..."

oikawa uses hajime's momentary distraction to smile a bit to himself (something he'd deny until his last breath if anyone ever tried to call him on it.)

"... happy."

[dgaftilwedie]

thinking abt papa and his ghouls :((((

copia letting phantom catnap in his office when he needs somewhere quiet

copia who always lends a helping hand if cumulus needs help doing her hair

copia who's a sucker for mountain's head scratches

copia who can't help but agree when swiss invites him to the ghoul smoke sesh

copia who sits down with dewdrop in the practice room for hours just to make sure his part sounds perfect

copia who aurora will always come to when she needs someone to play pickleball with her when the other ghouls are busy

copia who tries all of rain's baked goods and even asks him to bake him treats sometimes

copia who willingly plays pranks on the previous papas with cirrus and thinks its hysterical watch their reactions

copia who comes to aether when he's having a hard day for some quality time and cuddles

copia jamming with sunshine and pretending he knows how to use a tambourine (he doesn't)

[dewsgremlin]

Everyone is worrying about sister imperator.

Dewdrop: "I hope I can convince Copia to stop at ica maxi on the way home so we can buy cheezdoodles and chicken nuggets for dinner tonight."

Also not forget about Phantom trying to get a better look on seestor

[witch-hammer]

Secondo is fat. Do not argue with me, you will not change my mind. A man that into the indulgences likes his liquor and likes his food. And definitely becomes at least a little chubby

[damagedghoulette]

Omega, giving Phantom his monthly check up: Annnd finally, any bad feelings?

Phantom: I miss the days when mum would tell me how many biscuits I was allowed to eat because now I just eat the whole fucking pack and it makes me feel guilty

Copia: …

Swiss: …

Omega: *Staring blankly* …what?

[theangrycomet-art]

just small drawing of TFA sire and daughter pleass

Papa Trion is the best Alpha Trion

Listen- the backstory and dynamic these two have in my head (especially when Elita is fully grown/upgraded) is something I really need to put to pen and paper

Requests: CLOSED

COMMISSIONS: OPEN

I have a theory about the first song sung by the Papas characterizing them as characters.

Secondo's first concert song was "Secular Haze" - a song with a dark circus atmosphere, praising the Antichrist. As we know from Papaganda and interviews, he likes wigs, silly costumes and noisy parties, hiding his unhappiness behind this.

Terzo's first song was "From the Pinnacle to the Pit". His life path follows the path of Lucifer and Icarus, even the last word sung by him on his albums is "falling" ("Bible"). The higher one soars, the longer it takes to fall, the theme of hubris and the giddiness of success all reflect Terzo.

Copia's first song was "Rats" (acoustic performance). Rats prowl everywhere, small and inconspicuous, and bring death. I think he may have identified with death, as his reign began with the murder of the brothers. And as a bastard, he may have felt like a small animal, despised by all, but capable of revenge.

She's living our dreams

[ashthewaterghoul]

Don’t imagine Phantom being terrified after being summoned, for all they went through in the pit and after. They sleep in Copia’s room, on the floor next to his bed because they don’t want to wake him but they want to feel safe just like he promised them.

Don’t imagine Copia finding them, picking them up and cuddling them in his bed.

Don’t imagine Phantom finally realising it’s okay to ask for help and spends many nights sleeping cuddled up with their Papa because it’s the only place they feel safe from their past. Copia giving Phantom a spare key to his room so his piccolo pipistrello can come in anytime they need to.

Don’t imagine Copia becoming Frater and moving to a new room. Phantom has to give their key back because the new guy doesn’t want to extend the same curtesy.

Don’t imagine Phantom being denied entry to Copia’s new quarters bc he’s Frater now, he has nothing to do with the Ghouls anymore. Phantom, again, doesn’t ask for help.

Don’t imagine Phantom just curling up on the floor, as close as they can get to Copia’s front door, and hoping that when they wake up they’ll be in his bed.

Got a couple asks about this so if you want more angst on this then it’s tagged as #phanter cuddle buddies

since you posted that Secondo drabble, I’m dying to know…what do you think is one little thing that his partner could do that would make Secondo feel loved? just like an everyday thing that many of us would overlook but would be so special to him :)

i have a whole bunch!! i always say secondo is a provider, he is someone who takes care of others but struggles to accept someone taking care of him in the same way, hates feeling vulnerable. he isn't used to having company for longer than a few hours, so once you spend a lot of time over and naturally start helping him he's overwhelmed by the intimacy of it all. very much an acts of service and physical affection sort of guy, if you meet him there he'll swoon.

here is a spontaneous list of what gets his heart beating:

helping him with his cufflinks

fixing his tie in public

kissing him in front of others

reaching for his hand first

making his morning coffee before he gets a chance to do it (i hc him as an early riser so he's usually up first, you have to be sneaky)

any gentle touches, soft kisses and words of affection that are not transactional (all of them, what a concept)

leaving little notes for him to find

sending him cute texts throughout the day (he hates texting, you're the only one he texts back)

cleaning the reading glasses he uses at night

marking the page he fell asleep on while reading in bed

eating the food he made for you

catching you wearing the perfume he gifted you

subtly matching his outfit when you go out together

using any sort of personal pet name on him

when you take care of him after sex (he can get emotional when it's particularly intense)

plugging in the heating pad with no comment

when he gets to be the little spoon

when you tell him you love him (every single time)

[heich0e]

love tobio and his chunky baby :( ppl don't know how u pushed that baby out but they see the scar on tobio and know it was tough for u lmao

sugawara takes one look at that round baby and he's like "ohhhhh 🥹🥹 he is 🥹🥹 soooo cuuuuuute 🥹🥹 the most precious boy 🥹🥹" and then the moment he and tobio are alone together he goes (absolutely stone faced) "you need to thank your wife every single day for the rest of your life and also apologize a lot."

[ragequeen94]

Retired Papa Terzo teaches music to the ministry children while the parents are in service. They make shakers and tambourines out of toilet paper rolls and rice and pennies. He plays lead kazoo but sometimes has back up kazooers. They do holiday shows for the entire congregation where they play 80s covers.

I will die on this hill.
