Muzzling ghouls headcanon

Headcanon referring to an upcoming chapter (6/7) of the fanfiction I'm currently working on [HUITS]. The headcanon is right under the explaination

The first image shows the 'metal muzzle,' which is a leather muzzle featuring a medium-sized metal ring placed at mouth level, connected to a chain that links the first ring to a second one positioned under the chin. This way, when the ghoul holds the piece of metal between their teeth, the person handling them has the option to clamp their jaw shut by securing one of the chain ring to the leather fastening, making it impossible for the ghoul to open and close their mouth or, in simple terms, speak. (ft. Rain)

The second image depicts the 'silicone muzzle,' which features a much wider and slightly flatter disc that needs to be gently bent between the fingers to be properly inserted and removed. When pressure is released on the ends, it returns to its original shape, completely filling the ghoul's bite, so they can't spit it out or remove it themselves. Additionally, it has a second safety strap that fastens just behind the neck for added security. (ft. Dewdrop)

Sodo (Dewdrop):

"oh no! The muzzle!...that sounds kinky"

He huffs as soon as he sees the muzzle, he gets goosebumps, but he tries to cover the anxiety with a cocky, smug mask.

He's not one to make a scene, but he can't stop emitting a constant stifled growl as soon as the confident mask falls off

He finds it humiliating to be treated like an animal, but even more humiliating is wriggling like a cat at the vet's.

He hates it to death. They never put the one with the metal disc on him because he makes his teeth grind against it making everyone's skin crawl.

He remains in a bad mood for hours or even days after thay take it off, responding rudely to anyone who talks to him. He perceives it as a personal attack.

Rain:

"Oh c'mon, sister. I’m not a wild animal."

The agreement with the water ghoul is that it's always the same person who touches him.

The sisters adore him; whenever they can, they give him a little scratch on the back or simply sit beside him, since he's the most docile one.

In return, he is extremely shy and perceives that contact as a stressful situation.

He doesn't fight against it; he's very cooperative instead, not that he likes it, but he knows there are no other options, so he might as well not prolong the torture.

He knows that no one is targetting him, but that the sisters are just doing their job.

When they take it off him, he drools a lot, but he doesn't mind it too much.

He usually keep staying with sisters or/and asking them if they need help with anything.

Phantom:

Everyone thought Sodo was the worst one to muzzle, but then Phantom arrived.

It's not entirely his fault; he barely holds back a panic attack every time.

Since he's new, it often happens that he gets contained to meet Sister Imperator.

"But... but I don't even bite or fight..."

The sisters often use incense to knock him off calm him down, although more than once it was necessary to inject him with a sedative.

He's always handled by the same sister, like Rain, but simply because there are very few sisters who have the heart to forcefully lift his head when he curls up with his arms wrapped around his stomach and short breaths.

Or that, in case of an adrenaline rush, have the energy and patience to fight him.

Because of the sedatives, he always drools a lot and can barely stand.

Swiss:

"Whoa... what's this for? Can't you let me do something funny before Copia catches me?"

Holds the record for the most broken muzzles.

With the ones with metal disk, he uses the chain to stim, making constant noise.

While with the silicone disk ones, he chews them until they crumble, always waiting not to be looked at before spitting the pieces on another ghoul or into a plant.

The other member of the "incense club".

As soon as the sisters start to contain him, he has a constant series of tics, which often makes the operation difficult and quite dangerous, so incense is used to avoid accidents.

"Ohhh, the sisters got the catnip," he usually jokes when he smells the incense.

He finds the muzzle almost amusing since wearing it he can easily scare those who don't know him, preteding to be aggressive and blood thirsty.

When they take it off him, he spends the following hours laughing and telling stories about all the staff members and the ministry workers who will spend the nights having nightmares.

Aether:

"Oh? Has something happened, my dear?"

The crowd favorite, along with Rain.

He has no problem with the muzzle; he knows it's a standard containment procedure and accepts it as it is.

Occasionally, the sisters ask for his help in containing others before getting to him, and he's always happy to help, especially when it comes to more difficult members.

If he sees that an inexperienced sister has to contain him, he tries to help her as much as he can, and if the muzzle falls off or she puts it on too loosely, he tries to reassure her in every way.

The ghoul who is constantly being taken around. An interview? They take Aether. An award? Aether. Even just for a routine trip, they'll choose him, since he's so calm that one sister is enough to handle him.

When they take the muzzle of off him, he doesn't pay much attention to saliva dripping or minor incidents. He doesn't find it a problem; in fact, he often laughs about it, easing the tension for others too.

Mountain:

"Why do I need a muzzle? Do I bite?"

Nervous. He plays with his fingers and picks at his cuticles like crazy, but he tries to be as good as possible.

He hates making the sisters' job difficult, but he can't help but let out agonizing sounds as soon as the leather touches his face.

It's always tight. And he feels like he has dough in his mouth. And saliva accumulates at the corners of his mouth, causing itching. And the metal ring under his chin is always crooked, so he has to rub it against his shoulder to straighten it.

He finds it a completely unnecessary procedure since they block their teeth and claws, but if they wanted to attack someone, they could easily use their own element.

And the fact that this doesn't happen indicates that it's not really necessary muzzle the ghouls.

When they take it off him, he's always so overstimulated that he hides somewhere alone to rest.

He feels a bit resentful towards the sisters who insist so much on saying that they don't like it either, but they never oppose to that humiliating procedure.

Ifrit:

"I need to be sedated like an animal?"

Just a few kind words are enough to completely change his attitude.

The sisters scratch his ears, chin, and horns before containing him, and in response, he rubs his head against their shoulders and hands, making it difficult but enjoyable for them.

He hates being contained, but he visibly tries so hard not to cause problems, that the sisters themselves stay as close to him as possible to calm him down.

After not too long in that situation, he dissociates, which is why he's one of those who require more attention to be moved or taken around.

He's used a lot when there's a need for a very dramatic appearance or when the ghouls need to look menacing, given how big he is and the fact that at least two staff members are needed.

From an outsider's perspective, they think he's a terrifying ghoul, one who not only needs his mouth clamped shut and his wrists tied but even requires an entire team of four people to be moved with complete safety. In reality, the staff is there to prevent him from getting lost or stumbling while he's dissociated.

When they remove the muzzle from him, he always remains absent for a while. He doesn't feel resentment or blame the sisters; he simply finds it deeply embarassing, needing some good aftercare.

Aurora:

"Can I have a sugar packet first?"

She doesn't say it out loud because she feels that the rest of the pack is always tense when it comes to being muzzled, but she actually likes it.

She often has trouble hearing what people are saying because she gets distracted, or simply doesn't know how to respond, and when they contain her, she has an excuse not to answer without risking someone thinking she's stupid.

Plus, the ring placed between her teeth, whether it's silicone or metal, allows her to indulge her oral fixation, which calms her down quite a bit.

More than once, she has asked the sisters if they could wet the ring and cover it with sugar or something sweet before containing her.

The sisters were initially puzzled but accepted it gladly since she's neither agitated nor shy, recommending not to tell anyone.

When the muzzle is removed from her, for a while she makes faces as if she's trying to crack her jaw before immediately resuming nibbling her nails, lips, and/or cuticles, feeling the need to use her mouth again.

I've been wanting to do this post for a while now so here is EVERYTHING I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THE GHOULS' IMPERA COSTUMES.

Buckle up because I have a LOT to say about those, this is gonna be a very long one.

The costumes were designed by B Åkerlund, a Swedish costume designer who's worked with Ghost since at least Meliora (that's as far back as I was willing to scroll on her Instagram page lol). B Åkerlund has also worked for many other musical artists such as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osborne, Blink 182 and Hollywood Undead (information from her own website)

The masks were made by Bob Basset, a visual artists who works a lot with leather. I find his work fascinating, you can look him up on Instagram (nsfw warning, there's a few naked ladies).

Fun fact! The horns are real cow horns. That's the reason some of them have gold tips, to hide the imperfections that come with working with actual horns.

He does have a shop where he sells his items, there's a mask there very similar to the Impera ones. You can also buy Papa's batwings if you happen to have 2500$ lying around!

The jackets are made on the same model as one of Papa's. The back is decorated with a spine-like design made from leather and cording. It's adorned with a few of our classic Impera buttons. Some of the hems were left raw and some deliberate weathering was done to make it look old and worn.

Fun fact! The shoulder pieces are not sewn into the garment, I would assume for easier cleaning. I don't know if they're held by strong magnets or snap buttons.

The vest (my beloved 😩) is made from flocked velvet in a paisley pattern, the front hems embellished with satin piping. It closes in the front with custom metal clasps that are riveted into the garment. The D parts are attached with what seems to me like wide elastic, which would lessen the pression on the clasps when moving around a lot. The back is made from two different types of fabric, I'd have to touch it to be able to tell you what they are. I assume the panels closer to the sides have some mild stretch to them. The top of the shoulders are decorated with Impera grucifix patches.

The shirts were not custom made for the ghouls, altho they were altered. The original shirt in the vintage painter linen shirt from Punk Rave and it is still being sold. Some of the cuffs were altered, removing the ruffles for some of the ghouls, but not all. They were removed for Dew, Mountain and Phantom, Aether's didn't have them either. As far as I can tell, all the ghoulettes still have them.

An unfinished piece of linen serves as an ascot, that piece is decorated with a metal devil skull. The colour of the skull doesn't appear to be consistent between each ghoul, Dew's looks gold almost bronze while Phantom's is a silver-like colour.

Another modification is the buttons, a small portion of them were removed in favor of our Impera buttons. Some of the ghouls have more buttons replaced than others, which is still a mystery to me.

The pants are called Jodhpurs, they were invented in the 1800s as horse riding pants. The wide part at the hips and thighs allowing for better movement. The ones the ghouls wear don't reach all the way to their ankles, they stop a bit past the calf muscle, hidden by the boots. (Yes, the ghouls are effectively wearing capri pants)

The boots are motorcycle riding boots, decorated by a grucifix. Like the shirt, they can still be bought online through the All American Boots website, altho the price tag is... Headache inducing to say the least.

The cape is a piece of costume that was only briefly worn on stage by the ghouls, Aurora being the only one who still wears one. I would assume it gets in the way of playing very easily. The cape itself is made of two fabrics, a light blue satin and a dark grey suede. The two pieces are not sewn together at the bottom, they move freely from each other. The cape is attached on the left shoulder with a harness piece that has one strap across the chest, decorated with a metal buckle, and one under the armpit.

Aight that's it for me, have a nice day byyyyye!!

Thinking about little silly inhuman traits of all of the ghouls.

Swiss has an uneven gait when he walks, like he doesn't quite know how to carry his own bones. Think Hector's walk in Coco.

Aurora idly kneading/clawing at things without realizing like a big lion.

Cirrus just doesn't blink like 80% of the time. The most unnerving stare out of all of them. This is not a trait of ALL ghouls--just her.

Mountain rubs things with his horns how deer rub their antlers on trees. It's such a habit that he does it even when glamoured/in human disguise, and you'll see him rubbing against doorframes and such just out of habit.

Cumulus moving her head and piercing eyes in the gyroscopic way that birds of prey do when she forgets to mimic human movement.

Rain doesn't shiver or pant or sweat. Blizzard or sweltering heat, he seems totally unaffected by the ambient temperature.

Phantom true to his name is just silent when he moves. No footsteps or anything. Has an unnerving way of being totally still when he's idle; no shifting or fidgeting like most ghouls or humans.

Dewdrop sometimes moves so quickly and smoothly you don't even see him move. You call his name and suddenly he is looking at you, and you didn't even see his head turn.
