#the ghouls make me SAD ☹️

[slugbeaker]

there's something so haunting about the ghouls of amnesia with how 'hunger' is so associated with them. mainly because of how they were left behind after the other world fell. because it's not like they're ACTUALLY hungry for flesh

(or at least that's how it seems given the bodies left behind in areas they inhabit like the fortress or bunker)

"Hyena maybe, but damn big one...didn't finish its meal..."

any bites taken out of people seem to be solely to cause further pain and torment in order to maximize vitae potential, with vitae being the essence the ghouls/harvesters are ACTUALLY 'hungry' for

"They were trying to help, but they saw my face, and I could taste their fear."

once that supply of vitae (being allowed to hunt) ended after the fall of zerzura it's unsettling to think of how long they've just been left with that insatiable hunger for something they're unlikely to ever receive again. ignoring the rare occasions people stumble across their nesting grounds and such.

idk, when it comes to monsters they make me very sad. former humans, with varying degrees of self left, endlessly starving, doomed to be these predatory creatures for...however long it takes ghouls to die without vitae? ouch. my heart. 😢😢😢

OK! So I took photos of all the dolls my mom has still of mine (+ a few that weren’t mine, but now are) There’s some I thought I kept, but didn’t so that makes me sad. I was so eager to move out that I gathered all the dolls that weren’t in my top faves, sold them in a lot on eBay waaay lower than I should have, then quickly forgot which I kept, and which I sold.

Which is… sad, I feel sad about it. I did need the money, so I don’t 100% regret it. But I really did think I kept more than this. ☹️ But, I now know what I did keep, and can maybe slowly buy back some that I’m sad I didn’t. Plus I do have a few back home my mom sent me the first year after I moved out. But I’m really REALLY sad I don’t have a Venus at all. I’m surprised at 5 years ago me.

I am falling back in love with some of these though, I really did miss my Ghouls.
