#water ghoulette

[kabukiaku]

The Summoning of Mist. Yes, I was very much inspired by Mike Mignola's Hellboy artwork.

Pasting my headcanon here to explain and bonus art:

the reason her summoning was so traumatic was due to it almost failing. she was summoned by a lake near the ministry. that same said being infamous as a 'portal to hell' due to the number of deaths and murders (both supernatural and human caused) that have happened there. Right after emerging from the Pit, she was getting pulled back, feeling the actual sensation of drowning like a mortal. Mist was encountering the lost souls begging her to liberate them. Omega was in the scene while this went down and was able to pull her out in time. Both Terzo and Omega came in close to comfort the new ghoulette. and once after she calmed down, did they get to know her name and such. (hence why in that one drawing you see how paternal Terzo is, and how serious Omega looks)

to add on: because of this, Mist often has nightmares of what she encountered that night she was summoned. she fears large bodies of water, which ironic for a water ghoul, but can you blame her?

The ghoulettes

💧Mist is the og ghoulette, the one who was "one of the guys". I made her with more ghoulish features, including sharp edges, but still has a sense of femininity to her through her mannerisms

🌪️ I made Cirrus tall, and rolled up both her trousers and shirt to make her more playful. I did the era IV masks to accomodate my vision of them and made her hair shorter.

☁️ Cumulus has that soft warm vibe, so I made her curvier and her hair puffy and long as well. I added more soft edges to her unlike Cirrus.

☀️ I embraced the steampunk/dieselpunk aesthetic of Impera with Sunny, giving them the bronze accent. Similar to mist, I made them look more ghoulish in appearance, but with less edge.

❄️ Aurora is an albino (an idea that occured to me quite recently). And she's the smallest ghoulette of them all.

Revelation 8:10–11

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Terzo was growing restless living in his older brothers’ shadows. He had been appointed a cardinal under Primo at the beginning of his papacy and had served as one through out it. Now only a few years into Papa Secondo’s papacy, Terzo declared he wanted to wear his Papa paint early. This was allowed by Papa, as it was part of his brother’s birthright, but the higher clergy wanted the cardinal to earn it by summoning a new ghoul. Since Terzo is a bad bitch with no concept of his own mortality, he agreed to the challenge.

Let’s just say Mist made Terzo work for it and gave the rest of the family a heart attack.

Mist loves her silly little kazoo guy now though.

bestie I am crawling into your askbox begging you for a Mist moodboard please 🙏🏻🙏🏻

mist ghoulette moodboard

i headcanon her as a really tough, "touch me and you die" type of ghoulette. definitely has some unresolved anger management issues, has definitely gotten into some fist fights.

1st photo: outfit -> she's the best dressed in the clergy, look at her rocking that cape

2nd photo: seashells -> she sells seashells by the sea shore, she collects them as trinkets for the ghouls and papas

3rd photo: hand wraps -> punching things is how she lets out all of her frustrations, you can't make her talk about her feelings, she will tear your hair out

4th photo: comic quote -> have you seen how tiny she is? she will climb on a closet and stay there until someone tall pulls her down

5th photo: mist is just so fucking ethereal, she can tear off my face anytime she'd like

6th photo: painted glass -> you can't tell me she hasn't broken one of these at least 4 times already

7th photo: makeup -> insert "harold, they're lesbians" quote. i only headcanon her and sunshine as having a sexual orientation, the other ghouls are fluid in their orientation

8th photo: blue silk -> only the best for our queen, silk nightgowns, silk pyjamas, silk hair ties

9th photo: quote -> she's the OG murder ghoul, try and change my mind, i dare you

First drawing on my IPad (Not with Procreate yet). It was a lot of fun and turned out much better than I thought it would. It was also my first time attempting to draw a tail (turned out better than I thought it would as well.

She‘s a random air/water ghoulette, but I might base my design of Dusk off her.

First version is with more shading, second version is with less.

There also is a version with no eyelashes, because I forgot I planned to draw them:

Hey guys my hair is getting long to the point of causing sensory issues but I cannot afford to get a haircut yet—

If you can, please, support me on kofi or commission me

It helps me create more art for you and effort a haircut and clothes and pay for vet bills, and hopefully next semester, my education 💗

Good day. Papa sent me to bring you these flowers and this gift box along with this card that reeks of him.

It says: "Mia carissima, today I wanted to go see you, but some pending business appeared that I couldn't managed to avoid, I will be with you very very very very...very very soon. Kisses, Terzo and blah blah" That's right, that's how it is written, well uh... I can put this where like it, ma'am.

*Her tail wags happily* You can put the flowers on the dresser over there please

Meliora/Popestar Ghouls guide

I noticed some people still have trouble telling the Ghouls apart. Specifically Meliora era Ghouls. So i'll try to make things easier for all of you :)

WARNING: lots of text, my silly comments

Happy reading 😏

Learning which symbol/alchemic element (which was Martin Persner's/Omega's idea btw!) belongs to a certain Ghoul is essential:

🜂- Fire, 🜄- Water, 🜁 - Air, 🜃 - Earth, 🜀 - Quintessence. The first Fire Ghoul was also called Alpha and the first Quintessence Ghoul - Omega. Why such names? Because Quintessence/Ether Ghoul had Ω sticker on his guitar and fans started calling him Omega and his counterpart - Alpha. These names just fit them perfectly. Meliora era was unique because neither of previous Papas, nor Cardinal/Papa 4 called Ghouls by their names/elements. Only Papa III did that.

There were few changes of lineups during Era 3 and some Ghouls were given different names by fans. Simply because naming their elements wasn't enough. Examples will be seen below.

Ways to tell them apart when they are on stage:

Their instruments and stickers.

They are placed in certain areas of the stage: Quintessence and Earth on Papa's right, Water in the middle, Air and Fire on Papa's left.

Different body types, eyes, rings, bracelets and tattoos.

The way they behave.

When they are off stage, on promo photos etc just take a look at their chests.

Even though every Ghoul has 5 elements embroidered on their suits, their respective element is highlighted.

HQ pictures are pretty helpful if y'all wanna find your favorite Ghoul.

(from left to right: Air, Earth, Omega/Quintessence, Water and Alpha/Fire)

Also check this video of Papa III introducing Ghouls.

2015 lineup:

Air Ghoul #1. Simply Air. Joined Ghost in 2011. No tattoos, no rings. Usually quite calm on stage, favorite gesture is🤘 . Was the tallest Ghoul till 2017. Had cool keytar solo. Didn't move much.

Pebble aka Earth Ghoul #2. Joined Ghost in June 2015. Smol (yes, smaller than Papa). Has intense stare. Literal beast when it comes to playing drums. Had a special way of throwing sticks to fans (literally footballed them into the crowd lol). Funny one.

Quintessence Ghoul #1 aka Omega. Terzo's favorite Ghoul. His butt was smacked and grabbed by Papa countless times during Year Zero solo. Known for his stomping, graceful guitar playing style, has big silver rings on both hands and pretty eyes. Has the cutest laugh. Did lots of interviews when Special Ghoul wasn't around. Loves Abba. Has been in the band from 2010 till july 2016.

Water Ghoul #4 aka Delta. Slightly shorter than Papa III. Joined in 2015. Sometimes kicks air (literal air, not his fellow Ghoul) on stage, also filled in for Alpha (when he injured his shoulder) and Omega for a few shows. Played rhythm guitar after Omega left. Has no rings, no visible tattoos, but has mad skills. Allegedly he's the one who tried to kick the dude who got on stage and kissed Terzo lol

His regular bass Omega's guitar

Fire Ghoul #1 aka Alpha. Popular among fans. Hangs out with every Ghoul on stage, especially with Water and Pebble. Loves cameras, does✌ a lot, humps his guitar sometimes. Enjoys attention, a bit horny:) Also did a few interviews (mostly with Omega), has strong accent, also speaks Italian. Has rings and tattoos on both hands (had none during era 1 and 2!). Taller than Papa. Joined in 2010, left in november 2016.

2016

Omega left in july, so Water took over rhythm guitar and the first Ghoulette of the Ghost, Mist, was introduced. This lineup toured till the end of the year and nobody returned for Popestar tour in 2017.

Quintessence Ghoul #2. Basically just Water, but with different guitar and highlighted QE symbol on his uniform.

Mist Ghoulette aka Water#5. Tiny💜, unlike Copia's Ghoulettes she wore the same outfit and mask (that looked a bit too big for her) just like other Ghouls. Badass bass player, has a ring, a tattoo on her finger and painted nails. Veeeeery calm. Cute as hell. Alpha liked her a lot.

Fire, Earth and Air Ghouls were same as in 2015:

(from left to right on this picture: Mist, Quintessence #2 (aka Delta/Water Ghoul#4), Alpha/Fire, Earth/Pebble, Air)

2017

All of the previous Ghouls left and the new pack replaced them. If you see Ghouls who are +- same height as Papa, that's them!

(Dewdrop/Water #7, Aether/Quintessence #3, Zephyr/Air #2, Ifrit/Fire #2, Ivy/Earth #3)

Ifrit aka Fire Ghoul #2. Chaotic, hyperactive, Papa's hype man. Same height as Terzo, sweet bean, has wiiiide chest dorito shaped No tattoos, no rings. Spins, dances, jumps a lot. Gets "shot" during Ghuleh/Zombie Queen. No 🜂 sticker on his guitar. Only toured till 2018.

Aether aka Quintessence Ghoul #3. Beefy, jumps a lot, has rings and a bracelet. Always looks friendly. Plain black guitar with no QE symbol. Also pretty active, especially with his pal Ifrit. A bit taller than Papa III. Ran after Terzo when he got gragged off the stage by Papa Nihil's people. Joined in 2017, left in 2022.

P.S. since he's not Omega, his butt was safe during Year Zero solo 🙃

Dewdrop aka Water Ghoul #6 aka Sodo. Smaller than Terzo. Has an aggressive guitar playing style. A bit horny (it got worse). No visible tattoos. Proudly played bass with someone's panties. Syncs with Ifrit and Aether during Ghuleh/Zombie Queen outro. Became Fire Ghoul #3 in 2018. He's still in the Ghost (as of february 2024).

Zephyr aka chAir Ghoul #2. Sits on chair, a lot :) Charming, more active than previous Air ghoul. Loses it during Monstrance Clock, Per Aspera Ad Inferi and Cirice. Could be a great DJ. Almost the same height as Papa. Has a ring. His Mummy Dust keytar solo -[X]. Only toured till 2018.

Ivy aka Earth Ghoul #3. Underrated, many don't know much about him. Was present only during European leg of the Popestar tour (from march till july). Has brown eyes, a tattoo and bracelets. Same height as Ifrit. Wasn't around much, but still did a great job. Was later replaced by Mountain.

Mountain aka Earth Ghoul #4. Joined Ghost in july 2017. The tallest Ghoul. Hates shoes. Has a tattoo on the finger of his right hand, but you won't see shit on photos from this era because he wasn't photographed much and drummers usually get less attention than others in general:/ Quite calm comparing to Pebble. He's still in the band (as of february 2024).

Honorable mentions:

Special Ghoul aka Phil. Has green eyes, speaks Swedish. Did lots of interviews, showed up to grab a few awards for Ghost, worships cats and loves Abba. Literally Papa in disguise (aka Fire Ghoul's uniform and mask). Has been in the shadows since 2017.

Cowbell Ghoul. The myth, the legend. Played cowbell during "Ritual" and "If You Have Ghosts" a few times at the end of the Popestar tour in 2016. Tall, has a posture of a shrimp, always got shooed by Papa. Many want him back.

Aaaand that's it. I hope it was helpful. Thanks for reading :)
