#making up huge stories and headcanon about some silly spooky band I love

Ghouls and goulettes -> Headcanons of them as monsters!!

There’s my interpretation on how ghouls could look like and live like if they were some fantastic spooky monsters like werewolves or vampires.

I will probably later on draw some of the band members the way I picture them as that, so feel free to do the same and tell me what you think!! I just did that for fun since I wanted to make some ghoul and Ghoulettes ocs.

How they’d look like :

- grey-ish skin. Can be darker or lighter and have marks, freekles, tattoos and all that.

- Horns. Can be slightly different in form, length and color. Always in grey-ish tones. If they’re not then it isn’t natural and they changed it themselves. They can be like mountain’s ; with different black and white patterns on the horns ; doesn’t have to be only one colour.

- (Grey-ish means everything on a B&W scale.)

- Eyes. Can be all black, can be all white, can be pretty much anything as long as it feels right.

- Teeth. Most ghouls got nice fangs like bats. Teeth can be different depending on the ghoul as well.

- Tails. Most ghouls have tails that they hide in their pants when they perform on stage. They can have different forms and patterns like horns ; it just has to look natural.

- Nails/claws. Ghouls can get their nails to work kinda like claws. A bit useless but hey. Ghouls kinda reminds me of cats somehow so I won’t be surprised if they purred and hissed as well.

- Ears. They’re mostly pointy but their form differs depending on the ghoul.

- Feets. Actually no, they don’t got feets, they got paws. Paws are cuter than feets. Yes.

- Hair. Natural ghoul hair colour always have a little bit of a grey-ish tone but aren’t necessarily on a B&W scale even though they’re not very colourful still. Hair type can really be anything.

- wings. I love the idea of ghouls and Ghoulettes having wings, like bat wings. But it doesn’t seems practical. So I guess they can retract them however they want or something. Why couldn’t they.

How they’d live :

Ghouls live in the dark. The light isn’t much good for them, kinda like vampires. They eat like bats so some need fruits and other only meat or blood, it just depends of their needs. They live hidden of humans, mostly in pretty bad conditions. They’re mostly scared or angry at humans since they’ve always been badly treated by them.

Some ghouls and Ghoulettes are saved by papas and live in a huge abbey in a place where it’s always dark outside. Not all of them play instruments or are in the band. They all love their papa so playing in the band with him is kind of a goal for lots of them but it’s not an easily accessible position obviously. Some ghoulettes became sisters in the abbey. Playing in the band is an amazing opportunity for them but it’s also very difficult since they have to wear a costume that protect them from the sun or from humans to see them. They make their skin look human-like on some stage but the sun still hurts them a bit so they mostly play in the dark with artificial light. For them, playing in the band not only allows them to be close to papa but also to see humans treat them like they’re so cool while they usually hate ghouls and ghoulettes when they don’t have their costume on.

The abbey, papa’s satanism and the songs brings them comfort and home. Living at the abbey or at papa’s side as a ghoul or Ghoulette is a huge privilege since being one isn’t all fun games since they’re mostly seen as invasive nasty stuff like bats and rats by humans and every other creature. Rats and bats loves ghouls. All other animals either die, get mean or run away when they’re close. Sometimes plants also die when they’re close, which makes them sad but it’s not always the case.

Songs :

- Rats

- Griftwood

- Respite of the spitalfields

- we don’t need another hero

And that’s pretty much it ! Just some of my silly headcanons. Hope you liked it!
