Masterlist // Navigation

-------------------------------------------

Halloween was always your favorite holiday, your older brother often sneaking you out of the house to take you trick-or-treating, helping you hide the candy after the fact so your parents wouldn’t take it away from you.

Now, as an adult, you loved going to the pumpkin patches and doing other fall activities. Baking different fall inspired cookies, or just baking in general. Lighting your favorite fall scented candles and watching Halloween movies. Or even just cuddling with a blanket by the fire.

It was the week before the holiday, and you were talking with Haneul and Kangmin about the holiday, and how you celebrated it in the states. You learned that trick-or-treating isn’t really a thing, and neither is making jack-o-lanterns. Halloween costume parties were a big thing here though.

You were just telling them about the last costume you wore, before you came to South Korea, showing them a picture of you dressed as the Black Widow when a group of your coworkers walked by.

They were from the company that Bangtan bought out and had been merged with your building four a couple of weeks now. There was definitely a new hierarchy being established, especially with a numerous amount of alpha males coming in. Dominance being reestablished and it seemed like they had it out for everyone.

“Maybe you shouldn’t wear skintight clothes. No one wants to see your belly hanging out.” The man, Sangmin, squinted his eyes at your phone after ripping it from your fingers. You could almost feel his pheromones in the air, pushing out to exert force over you and Haneul.

“Hey, there is no need for this. Just give her the phone back.” Kangmin moved to step in between you, Haneul, and Sangmin, trying his best to diffuse the situation before the bosses noticed.

Sangmin just laughed, looking down as your picture again before showing it to his friends on either side of him. They too laughed at your costume. “No one wants to see this whale in her stupid costume anyways. What kind of a child still dresses up as a superhero?”

He practically throws your phone at you, making you stumble to grab it before it drops to the floor. Another group of people come over, this time a couple of women who also work here. You look at them, hoping they just walk past and don’t add onto anything, but your hopes were short-lived.

As you grabbed onto your phone, the picture on your phone had changed to one of you holding onto your carved pumpkin, a regular jack-o-lantern face adorning the orange food. When the woman in front sees it, she laughs.

“I thought only children do that. What are you, five?” You can slowly see how this is going to turn out and move to grab ahold of Kangmin’s arm to tug on it, telling him it’s not worth it when a door open down the hall.

 The meeting room had been occupied for a couple of hours, and a couple of your mates were in there, Hoseok and Jungkook. The meeting was about the merge, and how best to incorporate the new employees.

Hoseok is the first to walk out, his eyes catching yours quickly, your sour scent making him latch onto your figure behind Kangmin, your friend in a protective stance. He could recognize the opposing force as a new alpha brought in through the merge, his stance forceful and menacing. 

Hoseok did not like the way he was looking at you, nor did he appreciate the way you needed to be protected by someone in his own building. Everyone should know you are their mate.

Jungkook is the first to move, his own steps forceful and powerful as he moves in between the two groups, his hand immediately latching onto your own.

“Are you okay? What happened?” His eyes move quickly over your form, trying to identify if you had any physical injuries, getting slightly distracted by the way your thighs look in your outfit.

“We were just telling them that it is not appropriate to discuss outside activities within the work environment.” The man pushing his pheromones out, Sangmin, interjected before you could speak, causing Jungkook and Hoseok to roll their shoulders back, anger visible on their faces.

When Hoseok turned away from you, he saw the man who spoke straightening his stance, trying to suck up tothe bosses no doubt, he though. He had a large smile on his face, eyes turned up as he switches his eyes from both Jungkook and back to Hoseok.

“Oh, is that so?” Hoseok grins back, causing some of the workers in front of him to step back, Sangmin not feeling the same threat coming his way. He doesn’t even realize what he had started.  

“Yes sir.” Jungkook cringes at the title, only liking it when it comes from your lips. “She was showing disgusting pictures to her friends and I said she should save it for after work.” Sangmin continued, placing his hands in his pants pockets like he did them a favor.

Hoseok turns back to you, his smile real this time as he holds his hand out. “And what were these pictures?” He opens your phone up with his own fingerprint causing Sangmin’s eyes to narrow in confusion before quickly changing back when Jungkook glares at the man.

Your phone immediately opens up to the photo of you as Black Widow, Hoseok’s eyes widening and his cock hardening against his pants. He has to use all of his control to stop the moan that wants to leave his lips. His knuckles turn white as he tightens his grip on your phone.

“Oh, darling, why haven’t you shown us these pictures before?” Hoseok turns to you, Jungkook peeking over his shoulder to see the picture, his own reaction mimicking Hoseok’s.

“I didn’t know you would want to see them?” You shrug, your shoulders still turned in, trying to make yourself appear smaller.

“I’m gonna send it in the group chat. I already know Jiminie is gonna wanna see you in it in person.” Jungkook takes your phone from Hoseok, grin to his lips as he imagines Jimin cumming in his pants at the sight of your thighs in your costume. Namjoon as well.

Sangmin’s “powerful” stance was now faltering, his confidence in the situation long gone as he notices the comfortability with you and the two CEO’s. He looks between you and the CEO’s, seeing the smirk on Haneul’s face as she stares him down. Taking the opportunity, Haneul speaks up.

“Y/n was just telling us about the different traditions for Halloween in America and we were telling her about our own. When she was showing us her in her costume, Sangmin came up and decided he would make fun of her for it. He called her a child and said, ‘who would want to see this clown in a costume anyway?’ after he grabbed her phone out of her hands.” Sangmin was quick to recognize his new situation, how fucked up he was, when both CEO’s turned to him, their eyes gold as their alpha’s take control.

“You called our mate a whale?!” Jungkook growled out, his body now in front of yours, a protective stance taking over as he tries to shield you from the perceived threat.

Sangmin’s eyes widen at the new information, not knowing the bigger women was the CEO’s mate. He had heard about it, people talking and gossiping, but he never knew who it was. Until now, and it was already too late for him.

“I want your things packed within in twenty minutes. If I see you near my omega again, you won’t live to see another day.” Hoseok’s alpha was poise, his control never wavering as he moved closer, now almost touching the other alpha’s nose with his own. He was doing everything in his power to keep from attacking the poor excuse of an alpha.

Sangmin was shaking in his leather shoes, fear leaking into his pheromones as he nods his head, quickly rushing off to pack his things and leave. Everyone knew not to underestimate the CEO’s, especially when it concerns their mate. Everyone in the city knew what happened with Jinae and knew better than to try anything.

When you finally peeked over Jungkook’s shoulder, you saw that everyone but Haneul and Kangmin had scattered, everyone scared over your fluffy alphas.

“C’mon baby, I wanna see you in a different costume.” Jungkook wraps his arm around your shoulder, tugging you away with a very large grin on his lips, a wink sent your direction as you let yourself be pulled away, knowing you aren’t going to be getting away any time soon. You just didn’t think he would be taking you home, where the rest of your mates were waiting for you.

A huge nest was waiting for you when you walked in, courtesy of Jimin and Jin, both standing in front of it with proud expressions and their hands on their hips. The others sat on the couch behind the nest, smiles on their lips as well but you could see the tension caressing their shoulders.

“Hi baby.” Jimin was the first to break the silence, coming forward and pulling you in, his lips capturing yours and tongue pushing past your lips to taste you. His hands moved to your lower back and continued to move lower until he was cupping your ass, making a small whimper move past your lips.

“Okay, move it aside pup.” Jin nipped at Jimin’s ear before knocking him to the side, your elder mate moving in and giving you a kiss of his own before he pulls away.

“Sorry ‘bout him, baby. He loved the picture Koo sent everyone.” You look to Jimin and Jungkook, who both have impish looks aimed your way.

“In fact,” Namjoon spoke up, pulling a bag from behind his back. “He even went and got a costume for you to try on.” They all wore grins now, mischievous in nature and fully dark as if imagining already what the outfit might look like on you.

You take the bag from him cautiously, a little afraid of what the contents are given that your sneaky mate picked it out. You kept looking back to them, their grins never wavering as you enter the bathroom and close the door behind you.

When you opened the bag, you couldn’t help but sigh and place it on the counter.

It was a Red Riding Hood costume, complete with the iconic red hooded cape. You cringed a little, remembering when you wore a similar costume in elementary school, but knew for a fact that Jimin picked this costume because of the stockings and see-through top.

That foxy little wolf of yours.

Shaking your head, you took the costume out of the bag and replaced your clothes with it. You knew you could have fun with it, and you knew that’s exactly what your sneaky mates had in mind. You were a little excited to see their faces when you walked out, and hoped they were going to be as dramatic and excited as you thought.

“Grandmother? Are you home?” You called out to the boys as you walked into the living room once again, turning the corner to see their excited grins fall into dark, lustful gazes. Eyes going straight to your thighs or your breasts, you walked forward even more.

“Yes, dear.” Jimin played along, happy you were going with his idea.

“My, what big ears you have?” You took another step forward, holding the cape a little around yourself causing small groans to leave your mates’ lips.

“Better to hear you with, my dear.”

“And what big claws you have.” Jimin moved forward, taking your hint and letting his claws grow out, gripping your hips with them and pulling you in, a little moan leaving your lips at the feeling of him manhandling you.

“Better to hold you with, my dear.” He grinned, holding you flush against him. He was waiting for you to say the last words, his cock becoming incredibly hard in his jeans and by the way you smirked, he knew you felt it too.

“Hmmm.” You hummed, moving your hands to fiddle with his loosened tie, wringing it your hands and making Jimin groan in your grasp at his own impatience.

“My, my, what big teeth you have.” You finally whispered, causing the boys to stand up from the couch, slowly moving to circle around you and Jimin, closing you in.

“Oh, darling, what better to eat you with.” And with that, multiple pairs of lips were on your neck, one nibbling particularly hard. Jimin had grabbed you with his hand under your jaw, holding your head in place before surging forward, devouring your lips with his own.

Have you met any spooky creatures of the deep today? The organisms feeding on the body of this decaying whale are here to wish you a Happy Halloween!

When a whale dies at sea, its body sinks to the seafloor. Whale falls serve as an important food source for animals from large sharks to small worms and can feed communities for years to decades!

Was Ishmael always your favorite from day one, or did Canto 5 swing things in her direction?

So, she wasn't like, my favorite favorite day 1, but I did have a higher opinion of her compared to the rest of the cast (barring Ryoshu and Sinclair as food name oomf was making propaganda about them like a madman), her initial demeanor also gained her extra points because I generally gravitate towards characters that Actually Respect The MC/PC i won't say no to unhinged characters can we at least pretend to be civil during work hours and not treat me like a dog? It makes me sad :(

And then Canto V dropped.

Normally, this wouldn't be. That Big of a deal, if it was in literally any other position I'd just go "oh cool, so that's what happened" and moved on.

Problem: there was probably at least 20 different sleeper agents in my brain. And all of them involved Azur Lane

(Context for confused LCB moots: Azur Lane is Arknights' weirder, hornier cousin set somewhere in a WW2-adjacent period where all of your units are warships given human form known as Shipgirls (official term: KAN-SEN) and you fight against a robotic menace known as the Sirens)

(Editing Apple: putting this under cut because... oh lird. It's long.)

I had this like, entire ramble I wanted to go off on but at some point I didn't know where to take it lmao, but the basic idea is the following:

I got into Azur Lane last year because of spite and (eldritch-ish) pirates (Hello Royal Fortune!)

Got dragged into lore rabbit hole

Got convinced to read eldritch apocalypse fanfiction of Azur Lane (Whispers of Saturn)

Loved the fanfic a lot, started making Pirate shipgirl ocs based off the fic's concept (eldritch creachurr)

First iteration of Whaleship Essex created; whale-like mermaid-siren figure who has albinism and is a little Too trigger happy with whale murder

Made her look like Ishmael LCB because haha funny reference

Devs went fuckshit crazy with the anniversary event; Marco Polo was raining the wrath of God (who, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, was a false god), the god in question was fucking up the world with a weird white membrane (which, now that I think about it, kinda acted like pallidification), the french were getting back together, everything is great

I try to add the false god(s) into the lore timeline of my Azur Lane shit, cue updates happening to Whaleship Essex where she's the only survivor of her group and knows that someone else also survived but blames them for not being able to Do Something about it

New Pirate event happens

Devs stole 2 of my OCs and made them canon (hi, Hind; hi, Galley) and they also happen to be close to Whaleship Essex while they were my OCs

I work around what the Devs have given me and decide that they're in a state of kinda died-but-not-really (long story)

(Note that I came up with all this oc stuff around like. November or something.)

Overall my hype for The Sea™ and eldritch horrors have reached an all time high

Canto V releases; I learn about it while trying to make a Limbus AU for Murder Drones

I decide to check it out because. Water.

Doomed sailor yuri

"Holy fucking shit did I just predict Canto V with my OC that's completely unrelated in every way except for the fact that she looks A Lot like Ishmael???? What?????"

Present time; I have been stuck in the Limbus hole ever since (and apparently my brain has delusionally stuck itself onto our favorite ginger sailor so uh. hi fellow ishmael irls!)

Sooooo... yeah

Basically we wouldn't be here if the stars didn't align at Halloween 2022 and Manjuu + Yostar gave the AL fans someone who isn't a pirate

Trick or treat :D

Treat. Here's a whale for you.

[gigawatt-smile]

Trick or treat!

Welcome, welcome, and a Happy Halloween!

(So sorry I hit post too soon, I meant to save it as a draft.)

Anyway! As for headcanon, and for keeping these sweet vibes going, why not a silly little Lockwood headcanon?

As we know from The Creeping Shadow, Lockwood is fond of orange juice with the pulp as it reminds him of being a blue whale. Personally, I don't think this ends here, and he has other little quirks that reminds him of animals. I can't think of any good ones, but knowing him, he probably would.

[ghoul-slime]

53 & 57 🖤🦇

53. 5 things that make me happy

5. Horror! This is probably my biggest favorite thing ever. I'm a massive horror movie fan, especially of anything from the 70s and 80s. My apartment is full of horror memorabilia, and my favorite is probably my collection of original horror posters from the 80s. I absolutely love horror comedy and Italian splatter horror/giallo films and when I'm not at work or at a concert, I'm probably somewhere around LA catching a screening of something on 35mm. I'm most looking forward to a Lucio Fulci double feature of House By the Cemetery and City of the Living Dead at my favorite revival house theater next month. Seriously, if you're ever in LA and wanna know good horror spots, hit me up!

4. My job, somehow, makes me really happy. There are definitely ups and downs but overall I'm love my field. I work in collections management/archives at [music museum name redacted] and it is a lot of fun. I get to build exhibits, do archival and conservation work, and work with cool collections. I'm happy I get to work in the field I got my degree in and I'm always learning. And if weren't for my job I wouldn't be into Ghost! I got introduced to them working on something in the collections and fell in love right away.

3. Physical media! This goes hand in hand with horror and my archives background, for sure. I have a huge VHS collection and I collect movies on DVD and blu as well. I also love vinyl! One of my favorite work projects was cataloging and preparing a collection of over 1000 16mm and 35mm films for digitization. These are films that exist nowhere on earth except for in the cans in the archive. I think physical media is SO important, especially with how uncertain streaming can be. (This is a whole huge topic that I will spare you the rant for).

2. Live music! Love concerts and have been going to them since I was a young teenager. Saw Ghost three times this tour and between now and the end of the year I'm going to see Sleep Token, Amigo the Devil, Katatonia (twice), and Goblin doing a live score to the movie Demons. Live music hits in the same way film screenings do, of course the movie and/or shows are amazing, but there's something so affirming about being in the same room as dozens/hundreds/thousands of other people who love the same so very much.

1.Ghost! Of course. They are my absolute favorite thing in the world right now. It's actually been pretty much exactly one year since I got into the fandom. I've been in fandoms forever and ever, but this one I fell for SO hard and it feels like it just fits so perfectly. I got back into fic writing after a long time, met some amazingly cool people, went to three rituals at/near the barrier, and just have been overall super energized by my love for the band and the fandom. Their music, all the background/lore, their message, THE GHOULS, everything just hits exactly right.

57. favourite animal(s)

Am definitely a lover of any and all animals but absolutely love weird sea creatures. Giant isopods, ocean sunfish, whale sharks. Favorite terrestrial animal is probably an opossum!

Here's some of my horror/Ghost collection while I'm in the middle of Halloween decorating:

[dragoncityinteriordesign]

What’s the most ‘90s thing you can do about a piece of media you like? That’s right: make a mixtape for it.

Fortunately, it’s the future, so there’s no shuffling multiple tape decks or recording things off the radio -- just a Spotify link. Hopefully you will enjoy putting it in your ears.

It is specifically a mix with the novel continuity and aesthetic in mind. (There’s even a song on there for our favorite bubble-based epilogue!) I’ll gladly explain any of these choices, but it’s probably best if you let your imagination do it -- except that I will tip my hand about Wintersleep’s “Orca,” because that is the best Baby Ghost King song I’ve ever heard.

Enough of that! Here’s the link and tracklist. Happy listening!

the last of our kind - a Guardian mix

prologue: Florence + The Machine - Big God pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea

The Staves - Tired as Fuck put down the phone, put on my gloves and wish me luck

Lucy Dacus - Dream State... without you I am surely the last of my kind

Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Devil Like Me you see the devil don't mean to be evil / he just regrettably forgets to exceed expectation

Bishop Briggs - Dream they say that secrets make you sick and I should know

Amigo the Devil - Hell and You but I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true

Alana Henderson - Let This Remain let tonight be a stutter ‘midst the eloquence of days

Llynks - Fantasies come on, I know just what you hide / yet I’m in your claws every single night

Foie Gras - Red Moon jump into a lake / extinguish these ghosts inside of me

Emma Ruth Rundle - Darkhorse so let your heart die, in the springtime that surrounds you

Adna - Beautiful Hell how it multiplies in my veins / and in my blood and home

Brooke Bentham - I Need Your Body I love it when you put me your legs over my thighs

Vancouver Sleep Clinic - Killing Me To Love You I give you my heart just to watch you waste it

Phoebe Bridgers - Halloween but I can count on you to tell me the truth / when you've been drinking and you're wearing a mask

The Antlers - Doppelgänger if you're quiet, you can hear the monster breathing

Laura Doggett - Beautiful Undone it's the cracks that let the light shine through

MXMS - Something in the Way underneath the bridge / the tarp has sprung a leak

Koda - Leviathan all my friends are dying to get out

Cathedrals - In the Dark let it go, let me hold you this time (don’t say a word)

Les Friction - Dark Matter don't stop, don't think, don't look back / you're a bolt of lightning in the sky now

Lady Lamb - Salt and in this heaven the horror of its absence / has me trembling beside myself beside you

Wezn - Mountain Side fire to fire / the world turns / keep on turning

Wintersleep - Orca I'll be a killer whale when I grow up / I'll be a monster

Our Lady Peace - Holes there's a hole in the Earth since you've been gone

Soap&Skin - Thanatos tremor of my heaven son / tares above my kingdom come

Saint Mesa - Lion diamonds in your skin, my blood flows

Manchester Orchestra - Virgin you tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts

Lucy Dacus - ...Familiar Place without you I am surely the last of our kind

Said The Whale - Wake Up time makes all things fall together

epilogue: Will Cady & Alan Watts - What Fills the Gap we haven't realized that life and death, black and white, good and evil, being and non-being, come from the same center

Zine Preorder Announcement!

I'm very happy to announce that my first zine participation ever, 13 Days: Monsters & Myths, is now available for preorders!

I collaborated with two amazing writers:

For @crescenttwins I illustrated the Glawackus, a bizarre American cryptid, as if it was featured in an old encyclopedia.

And for @kaesaaurelia I drew the Illhevelis, Icelandic evil whales, in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript.

You can see and read the previews here, but if you're interested in seeing the full pieces, be sure to buy a copy of the zine/advent calendar before August 2! Link here:

You can also visit @13daysadvent for more infos.

Dawn of a Shallow Dream

MLB Effect: Damage Up Versus Witches [30%] & Regenerate HP [4%]

Effect Definitions:

Damage Up Versus Witches deals more damage to Witches and their familiars (this does not include Uwasa or Kimochi enemies). Damage dealt is increased by the % shown. This effect stacks with Damage Increase and Damage Up.

Regenerate HP will cause the equipped character to regenerate a percentage of their HP for the number of listed turns. The Regen will occur at the end of the turn (note: the end of the enemy’s turn). Regenerate HP can stack.

TLDR: “Dawn of a Shallow Dream” is a very handy memoria that will provide a great damage boost against witches and their familiars thanks to its high effect and great passive ATK stats. This memoria is exclusive to logging in during the Magia Record Season Three Blu-Ray and DVD volume two Release Campaign.

Review: “Dawn of a Shallow Dream” is actually a pretty decent memoria, and you should definitely try to log on during the Release Campaign to get it. It’s not the only memoria in the game with the effect of Damage Up Versus Witches, but so far all of these memoria are limited to event rewards of some form (meaning they’re unlikely to return):

(Limited 4*) “Dawn of a Shallow Dream” Damage Up Versus Witches [30%] & Regenerate HP [4%]  

(Limited 4*) “Happy Halloween NANO” Damage Up Versus Witches [30%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Victory Goes Through Time” Damage Up Versus Witches [20%] &  Attack Up [15%] & Regenerate HP [3%]

Damage Up Versus Witches should function similarly to Damage Up/Damage Increase. That means the 30% Damage Up here is roughly equivalent to 25% Attack Up-- which is pretty good! The catch to this of course is that the memoria is only going to give you that offensive bonus against witches and their familiars. However, this isn’t as bad as it sounds, because the vast majority of fights you’ll encounter will be against familiars, making this a pretty neat freebie memoria for generic battles. Add in the excellent passive ATK stats it has and you have a great free-to-play friendly powerhouse of a memoria on your hands.

You can easily compare this memoria to these two:

(Limited 4*) “Walking an Entwined Path” Damage Increase [30%] & Regenerate HP [5%]

(4*) “Ryouko and Sakuya: Moment of Perfection” Damage Increase [30%] & Regenerate HP [5%]

Both of them are very good thanks to that 30% Damage Increase, however they both also have pretty poor ATK stats. In contrast, “Dawn of a Shallow Dream” will outperform them (assuming you’re fighting witches and familiars).

However, it’s important to also recognize what content this memoria will be good to use with and what content it won’t-- for example, this memoria will do nothing for you but act as a Regenerate HP stat stick for Kimochi or Mirrors. It also won’t help in content like the One Hundred Evils, as you only face magical girls in it.

Yet, you still might find use for it in harder content. For example, EX-Challenges don’t always have magical girls as opponents-- they can include witches and familiars on occasion too. Additionally, this memoria is excellent for the Witches’ Paradox, as all you do in there is fight witches!

Overall this is a really good example of a memoria that is extremely valuable for free-to-play players without being overpowered or providing a massive advantage to Whales. It provides a good boost for most of the fights in the game while also not being useful for endgame content, like Kimochi. 

Lastly, this memoria will not help against Uwasa! Uwasa and their familiars can seem kind of similar to Witches, but they are not considered the same in the game and for this effect. So double check if you decide to use this memoria that it’s actually a Witch and not an Uwasa.

You can use this on your Supports, as most pve fights will be against witches and their familiars.
