Rain, trying to get Dew to warm up to newly summoned Phantom: Just get to know him a little. You'd really like him.

Dew: Why does everyone say that? I hate everybody, why would I like him?

[miss-grim]

Im still clutching my hc of Dew being deceivingly and impressively strong for being so small

[miss-grim]

So envious of their friendship 😭

[miss-grim]

Dew, after making a(nother) bad choice: I had to make a snap decision, Rain

Rain: It wasn’t a snap decision, you were sitting there for an hour

Dew: It was a lot of snap decisions

Rain: …Do you know what snap decision means?

[miss-grim]

Oh the thoughts are thunking and the words are painful 🙃

Keep thinking about the ritual where Dew was hurt and still tried to perform then had to play backstage for more than half the show…

And of course the thoughts I have are angsty

[miss-grim]

Dew, talking about Phantom: Sometimes his lights are on but no one’s home

Phantom: That’s not true

Phantom: I always turn the lights off before I leave the house

Dew: See?

[miss-grim]

Me too, Ozzy, me too

This is the funniest comment about Ghost I’ve ever seen 😂

And I agree

tumblr is kicking the quality's butt, so here's at least the FIRST PIC IN BETTER QUALITY!!

About the name: Mountain and Aether took care of him when the element switch ritual happened, and he suffered a lot, but they remained by his side, so when he got better, he asked them to rename him, because he didn't feel like himself anymore and because they were by his side the whole time, he felt like only them could rename him. So he is a little sensitive about people calling him Dewdrop, because for him, Dewdrop died in the ritual room.

He lets out a very guttural growl when he wants to threaten another ghoul to indicate that the area/group/person is "his territory", if he feels threatened. (a growl identical to that of a crocodile saying that the territory is his.) Back in the pit he growled and snapped his jaw when calling for a fight, whenever a ghoul tried to harass him. As a fire ghoul he hasn't lost this habit, but he just growls and hits his tail on the ground with a heavy thud. Nowadays his growls warm him up inside, causing him to release a lot of smoke when he does growl. He also releases lots of smoke when he's overheating, since he's not putting the heat out, it's like he's cooking from the inside.

When he was a water ghoul he loved to eat ice cubes. When he was recovering from the elemental switch, that was what he did most. He still has this habit and eats twice as much ice cubes because it helps to balance his temperature, as he misses being cooler.

His hair and skin are drier now, which irritates his the burns, sometimes requiring moisturizing creams. Rain helps him take care of himself when he is very dry and doesn't realize it. He does not produce enough moisture to overcome the core's heat production, as his body was biologically not born with the fire element. When he was a water ghoul, he produced moisture naturally even on hotter days, his hands were humid, but not from sweat, they were just well hydrated. Nowadays they are humid because he sweats a lot.

Ooohhhh I love this. I will always write broken and angsty Dew because I project on to him but this had me smiling so much!

Okay there's too much elemental transition Dew angst on this app. And I mean that in the most affectionate way possible, I swear to god y'all who write it always manage to make my heart ache in the worst/best possible ways. But I am a simple, soft creature so I present to you : Dew who actually accepts and recieves well his elemental transition.

Dew who's skeptical of the idea at first because water is all he's ever known. He turns the idea in his head over and over again until he realizes how tempting the offer feels to him. Yes, water is all he's ever known but he doesn't really feel attached to it like he should. The more he thinks it over, the more it feels like a blessing. A new start.

Dew who talks about it beforehand to the rest of the pack. They're worried, rightfully so, but they listen to his explanation. And they agree with him in the end, he should do it if he feels like the right thing for him.

Dew who goes throught with the transformation, and it hurts like a bitch and he's sick for a good two weeks after. But his pack is there to take care of him. He doesn't like depending on others but he lets them, secretly loving how everyone offers to carry him everywhere, how it feels to have people wash his hair and bring him food.

Dew who connects with fire as soon as he's better. The element truly calls to him, pulls him in, welcomes him. It's warm and intense and it's home. Finally home. He learns his fire ghoul duty in no time under Ifrit's teaching.

Dew who doesn't resent Rain at first for being the new water ghoul, quite the opposite. Aether's the one who was supposed to be in charge of putting a cloak over him, charming and comforting as ever. But the second Dew saw that water ghoul, folded in on himself in the middle of that summoning circle, he took that cloak out of Aether's hand faster than he could think about it. Walked up to the shaking Rain, wrapped him up tight and told him it would all be okay, that he's safe. Dew takes him under his wing, teaches him all about being a water ghoul, as well as he can without being one himself anymore.

Something in Rain calls to him, he knows it's the water. It's not mad at him for pulling it out of his body, it knows it was the best decision for him. But it still misses him. And Rain shows him all the love that water ever had for Dew, a love that was never meant to be in him but rather with him. (And also sometimes in him, if you catch my drift.)

Dew who learns to love his scars, to accept them as a part of his story and his journey, rather than a heavy anchor to his past. He doesn't shy away when Phantom sees them for the first time. Doesn't try to hide or to make up stories. They're a part of him. And they're beautiful.

Aight that's my self service for the night, good byyyyye

Dew, who has the highest pain tolerance of anyone while on stage or in the bedroom but is a total baby anywhere other than those two places: *injures himself*

Aether: I’ll get you some pills for the pain.

Dew: Extra strength. Not even extra, give me the maximum strength. Give me the maximum allowable dosage. Figure out what will kill me and then back it off a little bit.

Just wanted to clear this thing up

Friendly reminder that if I haven’t answered your ask the same day, it means either: 

I want to treasure that ask forever

I dont feel up to social interaction

I didnt have time, and ended up forgetting about it

What it does NOT mean:

I dont like getting asks

You’re bothering me by sending asks

SAME APPLIES FOR UNANSWERED TAG GAMES!

Swiss: Dew relates too much to the wrong song lyrics

Dew in the background singing to himself: I feel something so right doing the wrong thing and I feel something so wrong doing the right thing

Rain: What do you mean?

Dew still singing: Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Swiss: …

Dew: eclipses don’t impress me, I am abruptly overcome by darkness every day

You can see him trying so hard to play at the start of the ritual. Poor guy didn’t want to disappoint his fans

Someone asked me a short while ago what happened to Dewdrop that caused him to miss two shows. Thanks to @miss-grim and some research, I can share what happened:

On December 5th, 2018 during the Pale Tour Named Death, Dewdrop suffered an injury at around the midway point of the show. He continued to play the rest of the show, but backstage.

You can watch the full concert here.

Copia talks about him being injured at this point.

There's a news article here claiming that it was likely a shoulder injury as he was not moving his left arm after the show. That would certainly make it pretty difficult and painful to play. :(

I have so many little dribbles and headcanons that will never become anything more

I’m tempted to just post them all here just to get them out of my head
