Simple-ish versions of my ghoul headcanons!!

I like the idea of basing them off animals and tried to make them fit both their personality and elements :)

last year i finally read "all that's said in the low light" by headlocket which i feel like has developed its own reputation by now, but just in case you don't know - it's kind of known in the fandom as a massive tearjerker. As promised, I cried buckets over it and it left an enormous impact on me.

I drew this comic (after getting permission from headlocket) as a what if on a situation in chapter 12, where Simon goes through a period of radio silence from Johnny after essentially giving him his blessing to date other people, the utter clown. We only see it from Johnny's side, who is really going through it, but the mental image of Simon staring at a slew of his own unread messages really stuck with me...did he think this was it? That that shitshow of a conversation he had with Johnny might've been the last they ever had? What if Johnny just never responded to him again? Did he regret giving him permission?

bonus - simon's forlorn and temporarily one-sided conversation:

Ghostober Day 2, 3, and 4! Featuring Dewdrop (and a bonus Copia), Rain, and then not one but two air ghoulettes :]!

Tease

(How did they get there? I'll leave that up to you)

This took a while but here's part 2 of my ghoul designs, this time with Phantom and Aether

Part 1 can be found here

Headcanons under the cut:

Quintessence ghouls:

They often have two-toned hair and can be different shades of blue, violet, and gray

There is a slight glow that can be seen from their eyes and mouth, their eye color is the same as their tongue color

They can easily blend in around gargoyle statues as some of the statues in the ministry are inspired/modeled after previously summoned quintessence ghouls

The most "human-passing" among the other ghouls

Phantom:

There was an accident during his and Aurora's summoning ritual due to a build-up of quintessence magic, this caused the right side of his face to become deformed

Because of this, his face is partially frozen so he exaggerates his facial expressions to show his emotions

He makes use of quintessence magic to sense things on his blind side meaning he will know if someone sneaks up on him but lets them surprise him anyway to play along

Aether:

He's not the tallest in the pack but the buffest, he often has tasks in moving equipment and other things

He flicks his ears unconsciously when he's annoyed though it does help him hear things better

At one point, he was very self-conscious about his tooth gap but the others reassured him that he looked fine (Don't ask Dewdrop if he thinks Aether's smile is cute, he is in denial)

Part 1 of my ghoul designs. Starting off with Rain and Dewdrop ✨

Feel free to ask questions cause I'd gladly share my creative process, it's just that idk where to start :')

Headcanons and explanation about their design and respective elements under the cut:

Water Ghouls

They have thin and small horns that can easily break off. Their horns are meant for display purposes and not for butting heads with other ghouls

They have the thickest and longest tails among the ghouls. Due to this, they are one of the 2 elements that have non-prehensile tails. This does not however stop them from using their tails as a whip for smacking things and other ghouls as a warning

With what they lack in horns and defenses, they make up for being venomous/toxic

Colors = cool colors (red, orange, yellow are rare)

Rain

His tentacle-like hair is affected by his emotions. The stronger the emotion, the more curly it becomes. If he's bored or sad, it goes limp

Tends to drag his tail while he walks, easily trips. On more than one occasion, his packmates accidentally stepped on his tail

Has a venomous barb on his tail

Fire Ghouls

They have goat-like horns that point inward, a fire orb can appear when they use their magic

Wide mouths that have slits on the cheeks. These openings act as a vent to help regulate body temperature

You can tell the maturity of the ghoul by the color of their flames (Blue = young/inexperienced, Red = old). If their flames are green, something is wrong

Colors = ranges from warm colors to black/brown only

Dewdrop

Some water ghoul features carried over after his transition. The gills on his neck act as a replacement for a fire ghoul's mouth vent

Blind eye effect: The fire transition gave his eyes a foggy look. Vision is completely fine but it seems like he's always staring blankly into space

Had his hair cut off days after the transition by Aether and Mountain because they were worried about him. He was ripping locks of his hair from his scalp to calm himself (think of a bird plucking its own feathers)

His hair grew back during Copia's papacy but it now grows unevenly and needs to be constantly fixed/tied back

[full-blown-idiot]

Last part for my Impera ghoul designs. Also thanks for all the support for my past designs, the comments are always fun to read :)) Without further ado: Sunshine and Aurora. Previous designs: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 Headcanons under the cut:

Multi-Ghouls

Because of their mixed elements, their physical forms either have missing or added features. E.g. Aurora (Extra eyes), Sunshine (Extra horns), Swiss ("Missing" eyes and extra teeth), Cowbell (Missing horns), Special/Phil (Missing tail)

They have ram-like horns and noses (Except for Aurora and Special)

Most likely to experiment with their appearance such as different hairstyles, piercings, makeup, etc.

Sunshine

The most eccentric of Copia's ghouls

No matter what she does, her hair is always messy and sticks out in different ways

Experiments with jewelry (gold only) and makeup

Aurora

She and Phantom look alike. During their summoning ritual, the ones who attended expected a very large ghoul. As the being came out of the portal, the build-up of quint magic split it resulting in the two ghouls (Note: They are not related)

She has little to no quintessence (Phantom took it all, likewise, she took his eye as their physical forms settled)

Has a habit of dyeing her hair whatever color she feels like having for the month, it's always technicolor

[full-blown-idiot]

Part 4 of my Impera ghoul designs: Swiss and Mountain. These two were the hardest for me to figure out but hopefully, they turned out alright Previous designs: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Headcanons under the cut:

Mountain

During the Prequelle era he had long hair and it was occasionally braided by the ghoulettes. Once Impera came, he decided to cut it so it wouldn't get in the way while he worked (Swiss held a funeral for the loss)

Flowers grow on his horns during the spring

He wears different pants to accommodate his hooves and help him move easily while drumming, it's tailored to look like the regular ghoul uniform

His biggest weakness: Freshly waxed floors

Swiss

His eyes are hidden most of the time but the Siblings are advised not to look directly at his eyes specifically

Styles his hair in multiple ways after finding a fashion magazine

Very silent when he moves, Copia got so sick of getting jumpscared by the ghoul that he placed bells by the end of his tail. Swiss thinks it's funny and uses the bells to annoy him instead by constantly jingling them

[full-blown-idiot]

Part 3 of my ghoul designs featuring the air girlies (and Zephyr as a bonus). I've officially made it through the halfway point and now have 4 ghouls left to design for the impera era woo

Previous designs here: Part 1 | Part 2

As usual, headcanons under the cut:

Air Ghouls

I'm taking inspiration from Dante's Inferno because I remember there were harpies in one of the circles of hell. Hence, the bird design.

They're often seen accompanying earth ghouls. In Inferno, harpies feed upon the leaves of souls who turned into trees. Based on this, air ghouls stick around earth ghouls because they care for the plants they use for food and shelter. Air ghouls in return warn earth ghouls of any danger and lead them to resources they could both benefit from. (This doesn't really apply on topside but the ghoulettes still like to hang out with Mountain)

Besides birds, I also wanted to add a butterfly/moth motif to give the characters a more inhuman look. Air ghouls have false eyes to confuse and intimidate other ghouls in the pits

These ghouls, especially those with long hair, have their hair braided by other air ghouls as a social custom (also so hair doesn't get in the way while flying)

Females have dull colors while males are colorful

Cirrus

Sharp features, long wispy hair similar to cirrus clouds

Often has her hair braided by Cumulus when they're on duty

A fast flier and very energetic with her movements

The 2nd in command of her pack

Cumulus

Like the cloud she's named after, she has more softer features than the other ghouls. Don't let that fool you because she's just as aggressive as the others.

A silent flier and not as fast as cirrus

Tends to stare at people with her large round eyes. She likes making people feel uncomfortable with her stares.
