#phantom/copia

[ashthewaterghoul]

Something heartbreaking I just realised for #phanter cuddle buddies is that Copia never got to celebrate one of Phantom's summoning days until they had been Topside for about 3 years already...

Phantom and Aurora made their debuts on the 21st May 2023 so lets say they were summoned a few months earlier in February or March.

The Re-Imperatour ended on the 7th October 2023 and that's when the separation started.

Phantom didn't even get to celebrate their first summoning day with their Papa...

They're done! I really want to try and make prints again as it's been years and I've never felt like I was very good at making whole posters. Dipping my toe back in with these silly chibis of each Papa with every Ghoul they've had. Perhaps they can also work as a guide for those wanting to learn all the characters? I added in a fair amount of little references with the Ghoul's poses so it'll be interesting to see what you guys figure out and notice!

The prints are on pre-order and won't ship out until November. I've put up 25 of each to start with but if they get low on stock I'll keep adding more until I have them printed and then it'll be a set amount in stock.

Also a reminder about the stickers of every Ghost Papa and Ghoul that I made earlier this year that are also available as customisable badges! Thank you so much to everyone who already bought them and got Etsy to list them as a 'bestseller' for a while. They're still up and in stock.

EDIT: someone informed me Delta was not in Secondo's era so sorry little water ghoul but he got edited out of that drawing.

Characters featured on the prints and are also available on stickers and badges: Papa Emeritus I / Primo, Papa Emeritus II / Secondo, Papa Emerirus III / Terzo, Papa Emeritus IV / Cardinal Copia, Aether, Air, Alpha / Fire, Aurora, Chain / Water, Cirrus, Cowbell, Cumulus, Delta, Dewdrop / Sodo, Earth, Ifrit, Ivy, Lake, Mist, Mountain, Omega / Quintessence, Pebble, Phantom, Phil / Special Ghoul, Rain, Sunshine, Swiss, Zephy.

I can’t link to my Etsy without risking Tumblr hiding the post from tag search results, but the link is in my pinned post, my carrd, I’m emptymasks on Etsy. Reblogs help support artists more than likes ❤️

[ID: Four landscape drawings, one for each of Ghost's Papas and the Ghouls that were in the band with them while they were the lead singer. Each Papa is in the center with each of their ghouls standings to their sides. Every character has their name written above or below them, on brightly coloured backgrounds for each Papa's robe colour. Also, individual pixel art chibi drawings of 69 characters from various European musicals (listed above) that are available as stickers. These drawings are also available as badges where they are placed inside circles to show what they will look like as physical button badges, some of them with plain colour backgrounds and some with 1-3 different pride flags as examples of how you can customise the backgrounds.]

For those who want to know what the little references in the prints are and don't want to guess, they're under the cut:

Omega can be a stompy boy when he's playing guitar, Alpha likes to throw up peace signs, Air is very found of the rock horns hand symbol, there's one close-up photo of Lake out there where you can clearly see his black sclera contacts and he's doing double 'horns' hand symbol, Mountain infamously takes his shoes off when playing the drums and leaves them on the stage at the site of his drumkit, Dewdrop likes to like.. most things including his guitar and his picks and sometimes his own hand, Pebble liked to hand out his drumsticks at the end of shows by dropkicking them into the crowd, Omega wore a flower tucked into his guitar strap during one show and Terzo constantly flirts with him more than other ghouls, Delta is suspected to be the ghoul that attempted to kick an audience member off stage when they climbed onstage and attempted to kiss Terzo, Zephyr was the only band member and only keyboardist who sat down while playing, the special ghoul played by Tobias wore a nametag 'Phil' in an interview, Swiss constantly is showing all his teethies with his smiles and always wiggling and moving around, Aether and Dewdrop often interact with Dew teasing/bothering Aether, Dew and Rain also often interact with Dew constantly reaching to grab his neck and attempt to kiss him, aaaand I think that's everything I intentionally included other than just generally tried to get the poses and expressions to match the personality we've seen from each ghoul.

Things I witnessed at the Glasgow Ghost Ritual (16th of April 2025)-

Rain and Dew kissed behind Mountain's drums during Mary on a Cross. Just a quick peck on the lips, but STILL.

Dew did his usual 'screaming guitar' thing, Rain walked up to him and turned his guitar off. Dew then reached out to grab the neck of Rain's bass, ended up slicing his finger open, and then tried to wipe his bloody finger all over Rain's bass.

Aurora now plays the keyboards and sings! She has taken Cumulus' podium, has two synths, a tambourine, and three mics.

New ghoulette is on Aurora's old podium, she sings and plays tambourine.

Rain refused to move for Perpetua. Perpetua kept motioning to him to move out of the way during Year Zero and Rain just stood in place and shook his head firmly until Perpetua had to go around him.

THE INFLATABLE CATHEDRAL BACKGROUND FELL DOWN. THIS WAS NOT PLANNED. A curtain was pulled away to reveal the cathedral background (the same one from previous tours), but the curtain got caught on the background and pulled it down straight away. It nearly hit Aurora, and Swiss had to jump out of the way so that it didn't hit him.

During one of the new songs, Papa pops out of a trap door in the stage with a cowbell held up in the air and runs across the stage to give Swiss the cowbell. Swiss plays the cowbell for the entirety of the song.

Ghouls that wear the top hats: Dew, Mountain, Phantom

Ghouls that wear the wimple/klobuk: Aurora, Rain, Swiss, Cirrus new ghoulette

During Majesty, Papa floats about 20 feet above the stage and stays there for the whole song. He doesn't move, apart from his hands motioning as he sings. He has a headset microphone on, instead of holding a mic in his hands, because he has huge metal gauntlets on.

They play four songs from the new album! Two of them being Satanized and Lachryma, and two of them being yet unreleased. The crowd sang Satanized as loud as they did Square Hammer, which is a setlist classic.

If you wanna hear about more things that happened at this ritual, please let me know!

Phantom on his knees

[ashthewaterghoul]

Don’t imagine Phantom being terrified after being summoned, for all they went through in the pit and after. They sleep in Copia’s room, on the floor next to his bed because they don’t want to wake him but they want to feel safe just like he promised them.

Don’t imagine Copia finding them, picking them up and cuddling them in his bed.

Don’t imagine Phantom finally realising it’s okay to ask for help and spends many nights sleeping cuddled up with their Papa because it’s the only place they feel safe from their past. Copia giving Phantom a spare key to his room so his piccolo pipistrello can come in anytime they need to.

Don’t imagine Copia becoming Frater and moving to a new room. Phantom has to give their key back because the new guy doesn’t want to extend the same curtesy.

Don’t imagine Phantom being denied entry to Copia’s new quarters bc he’s Frater now, he has nothing to do with the Ghouls anymore. Phantom, again, doesn’t ask for help.

Don’t imagine Phantom just curling up on the floor, as close as they can get to Copia’s front door, and hoping that when they wake up they’ll be in his bed.

Got a couple asks about this so if you want more angst on this then it’s tagged as #phanter cuddle buddies

Hello my dears! 'u' Scene inspired by the movie "Todo Modo", an old italian film, which I found perfect for the Emeritus Bros and Cardi, and for experimenting with the colors and facial expressions, which I had started in March but only finished now. I hope you enjoy it!
