Okay, I've been cooking trying to come up with a banger prompt Sensory Prompt: Lighting a candle while you run a warm bath on a cold rainy afternoon Emotion: Anticipation Object: Bath Tub Give us some Ghoul x Halsin x Astarion goodness. ;)

The room was expensive but with their constant travels it was worth its weight in gold. Astarion was in a foul mood completed with snippy comments and complaints about the dirt and blood that caked him. Ghoul did not hold it against him, but she was growing tired of hearing how upset he was. Halsin even lightly mentioned he would appreciate a bath in the nearest stream but with much persuasion from Ghoul and Astarion, he finally agreed to settle for a bath indoors. The city seemed to make Halsin restless, and she caught the anxiousness roll off his body in waves as the three of them pass the crowds of refugees. The cold rain did not help her mood either. It drenched her, seeped into her bones, giving her the same chills she felt when she talked with the dead. Ghoul went into the room that held the large underground tub. It was surrounded with cobblestone to look like a mock hot spring and decorated with vibrant green foliage. She looked at the sitting water, though clean, a dip of her finger told her how chilled it was. Ghoul sat on her knees and focused as she remembered the incantation to make steel burn in the hands of others. Her goal was to heat up the water and thankfully it worked with much success. Suddenly she was starting to feel excited about the bath herself and the anticipation was giving her a slight manic feeling.             “Boys!” She called out to them, inviting them to her. It did not take long for Astarion to come and his frown started to ease as he realized what he was being called over for. His body slinked into the room like a cat and his crimson eyes set on the bubbling tub.             “You shouldn’t have.” Astarion said coyly as if he had not spent half the day being bitter and bratty. Ghoul rolled her eyes and gave him a small smirk but she did not wait for him to say anymore before she begun to peel off her clothes. The fabric sticky and covered in dirt, blood, and sweat. The urge to leap into the pool of water was enticing.               “Silvanus' blessings for to those who get to gaze upon your beautiful flesh.” Halsin’s deep purr filled the room as he stood towering in the door way. He was already halfway undressed, ahead of Astarion it seemed. Astarion noticed he was the most covered of the three and immediately started to tear off his clothes as Ghoul settled herself in the water. The heat warmed her through and through and she felt the tensions in her muscles relax. The water rippled as Halsin joined, a hum of gratification came from his chest and he slid himself next to her. His arms took her in so he was settled behind Ghoul. Without asking Halsin gently started to cup the water and release it slowly onto her hair, his fingers softly detangling her ratted strands full of filth.              “Make room for me.” Astarion commanded and Ghoul smirked at his snippy tone. She knew he just wanted to have just as must contact as Halsin was giving her. Halsin didn’t argue and as he moved to the side he lit a few candles with a soft whisper. Ghoul’s arms opened, bringing the vampire spawn close to her. She wrapped herself around him, her fingers gently combing his loose strands and speaking soft words of how he should allow himself to relax. The dimming sunlight gave the room a relaxing aurora as their shadows danced within the candles flame. The day was over, and they only had to focus on their shared needs.

amanita companion profile

yes i made a profile for my tav as if she were a companion. the brainrot (hah) is severe. she is a half wood elf circle of spores druid. it is long i love her. anyway more people should do this its fun :)

backstory

became very ill as a child, her parents took her to many local healers and found one wise woman that was able to cure the illness but only when amanita was living with her. she was raised by the wise woman with occasional contact with her parents until some point in her teens. she discovered the wise woman was actually the source of her illness and things got Worse. eventually she fled and found a druidic circle to take her in. they stabilised her illness with regular medicine & magic. girl's got fungus in her blood. she now believes the woman was a hag and has a sworn hatred of them all for the violation.

values:

generally pro-nature, anti-hag, anti-dangerous bargains, pro helping others get out of said bargains, often has contradictory opinions on the undead (her 'natural' undead mushroom zombies vs balthazar's 'unnatural' flesh golem & ghouls). a big thing for her is being considered an equal to her friends, so she would disapprove of astarion's ascension & gale's attempt at godhood bc she feels like they leave her behind. she would also leave ur party with wyll and karlach if you side with the goblins in act 1.

opinion on the tadpoles: absolutely hates that someone else has put something in her body without her permission and that she cannot remove. seething with anger at the violation. is relieved the tadpole has prevented her infection from taking hold without her medicine but truly hates the loss of control she feels because of it

approves:

defeating auntie ethel | saving anabella | being supportive of alfira | telling the bluejay his nest looks good | positive scratch + owlbear interactions | saving halsin | freeing the grymforge gnomes | bringing spaw nere's head | drinking omeluum's potion | talking to the ancient rothe | placing flowers on that dog's grave in the underdark | exposing BOOOAL as a fake god | killing balthazar (bonus if its before finding the nightsong!) | freeing the pixie | drinking jaheira's wine after discovering what's in it | defending astarion's choice to araj | releasing wyll from his contract | helping mayrina in act 3 | asking for a poly relationship with halsin (druids4druids) | helping the strange ox | freeing Us the second time you meet it | positive interaction with the spore guy at the society of brilliance | saving omeluum

disapproves:

stealing the idol of silvanus | killing the owlbear mother | making any deal with auntie ethel | any negative interaction with the myconids (except glut) | stealing from temples | accepting any deal with raphael | pushing gale towards godhood | pushing astarion towards ascension | telling wyll to sell his soul to mizora | encouraging shadowheart to kill nightsong | selling nightsong out to lorroakan | absorbing more tadpoles | trusting the emperor too much

special dialogue locations

when the illusion is broken in the bog | after defeating ethel (no bargain struck) | upon first encountering the myconids | just before leaving the underdark via elevator | after meeting both halsin and jaheira (druids4ever) | after killing balthazar but before finding the nightsong | upon talking to the spores guy at the society of brilliance lodge

recruitment:

amanita can be found in the blighted village, having set out to find halsin after visiting the grove before your party. she is trying to convince some goblins to let her past. if you don't pick her up here (and don't destroy the grove), she can be found in the underdark, distracted by rare mushrooms.

companion quest: mushrooms on the brain (this stuff is hazy but is how i imagine her narrative arc :))

feels the call of some unknown rot/decay deity but tries to balance it with silvanus' teachings. her internal battle is decay for its own sake vs decay in order to create life & wielding power over the circle of life vs submitting to it.

the crux is the decision to eat the heart of the hag that infected her or not; unlike most companions, she needs to be actively persuaded to take this darker path. left to decide by herself, she will not eat the heart. if persuaded to eat the heart, she will express regret at the last minute before the transformation happens, but will be unable to stop it.

Cast of Characters

Rolen - Firbolg Paladin, Oath of the Ancients, Neutral Good (Played by me)

Rolen was the champion and protector of his clan for many years. They lived deep in the forests south of Waterdeep, keeping some distance between them and their giant cousins to the north. He has since left them behind for an unknown reason and is pursuing a green dragon. Rolen towers over smallfolk at over seven and a half feet tall, but he’s a gentle giant that is more interested in preserving the nature around him than in cracking skulls. He has blue-grey skin, and brown hair, with an impressive beard. He has the law of his people tattooed in white on his skin beneath his armor. He carries a small crystal on a string around his neck. It glows softly in moonlight. A gift from his daughter that she found in the caves near their home. It is his most cherished possession. He carries a large shield emblazoned with a green leaf, the symbol of his god, Silvanus.

Garfield Rosewater - Human Warlock, Celestial Patron, Lawful Good

To Garfield, life is black and white. He always grew up hearing about how his parents put an end to a civil war that claimed the lives of many, and wanted to be just like them. What Garfield doesn’t know is how they accomplished it: by making a deal with a forgotten elder god. They gave away the life of their firstborn to this god in exchange for peace, not intending to have children of their own. But fate had other plans. Now Garfield walks the land, hoping to discover why he has these powers, and why his dreams are plagued with dark thoughts.

Leo - Human Bard, College of Lore, Chaotic Good

Leo has always had aspirations for something bigger. Why be ordinary when you could be famous? Leo has a knack for words and feels at home on the stage. Capturing people in his stories and plays was easy and he rode this talent into the spotlight...until disaster struck. He never really goes into what happened, or why he is on the run, but it always seems to be the same story, Leo comes into a town, makes a great impression, and rises to fame. Then people start asking questions, and he disappears to the next town to keep his private life out of the spotlight. Now he looks to build his legend through adventure instead of the stage.

Frank - Wood Elf Monk, Way of the Drunken Master, Neutral Good

Frank’s clan was a small and isolated group within the High Forest. The wood elves had a tradition of picking one person every night to stand as Night Watch while the rest slept. One night, Frank got picked for the Night Watch. It was a pretty uneventful, mostly ceremonious position; nothing had happened in years on the Night Watch. Frank took his watch with little care and began to drink his favorite plum wine. During his drunken stupor, a pack of wolves made their way into the village and into an open hut. The screams that followed awoke the rest of the village, but by then it was too late. With a family dead, the villagers banished Frank. If they could not trust him, he could not stay with them. Frank is looking to perform a heroic feat and prove to his clan he can be trusted again.

Rolen waits in town for the return of his new companion, Frank. Rolen had stepped in and saved him from a likely death in the dense forest. Despite his wood elf heritage, Frank was often too drunk to really focus on his surroundings. Filled with admiration, Frank latches onto Rolen when he reveals that he’s pursuing a green dragon.

Frank and Rolen travel to the nearest town, where Frank sets off in search of “heroes” to aid Rolen in their quest. He stumbles across Leo and Garfield in town and they hit it off. Frank also runs into a man who is looking for help. He hands him a letter explaining that a woman has been visited by an evil curse, and asks for our help to save her. Frank obviously agrees to this without a second thought, and we set off to investigate.

While we are making camp, a mist settles over us. Upon waking, we notice that the woods around us has changed. We take a look around, and nothing seems familiar. We wander around for a bit before stumbling upon a gravel road. With few other options, we follow it.

The road leads to a large iron gate. A stone wall extends from either side as far as we can see. We pass through the gate into the forest beyond, and it creaks closed behind us.

A bit further down the path, we’re attacked by wolves. Leading the pack is a dire wolf with a rusty pelt. He watches while we dispatch the pack, and disappears into the mist, saying “Welcome to Barovia.”

After a short while, we find our way into a town. The place seems deserted. Buildings are boarded up; there doesn’t seem to be any activity. We hear the sound of whimpering children coming from around the corner. We go investigate and find two children cowering in the alley. They introduce themselves as Rose and Thorn. We ask them where their parents are, and they point us to the four story home at the edge of town. They tell us that their parents told them to stay here while they took on the monster in the basement. Without hesitation, we make our way directly to the house.

We make our way inside and poke around. There isn’t an obvious way down to the basement, so we head upstairs. On the third floor, Rolen hears the wails of a baby and goes to investigate the noise. The specter of a nursemaid appears in the next room, cries out “My baby!” and attacks. When the fight is over, Rolen notices eyes on the walls, watching the party, and swings his hammer, knocking a hole in the wall. The hole reveals a secret staircase leading up to the attic.

In the attic, the party finds the room of the children. Inside the room is a pair of small skeletons. Specters of the children we’d met outside, greet us, asking us to not leave them behind. There’s a dollhouse that looks exactly like the house we’re inside. Using the dollhouse, we find the secret staircase to the basement, and leave. Rolen has the foresight to bash holes in the wall to allow easy entry and exit from the staircase.

The crypt below the house appears to hold the entire family of the children. We find the children’s sarcophagi, and decide to go back up and retrieve their remains. We give them a proper burial, and the specters thank us as they proceed into the afterlife.

Rolen attempts to knock on a door, and is nearly consumed by what turns out to be a mimic. We hack it to pieces, but not before Rolen suffers some serious wounds. We find our way down to the next level. There’s weird cult shenanigans afoot. There’s a portcullis leading to a large chamber, from which we can hear chanting. We use mage hand to turn the wheel and open the portcullis from the inside, and when we enter, the chanting ceases.

There’s a raised platform in the center of a pool with a bloody stone. When Rolen and Frank climb the platform, shadowy figures emerge from the walls, and begin chanting “One must die!” Neither Rolen nor Frank are looking to end their lives just yet, and Rolen strikes the bloody stone with his hammer, cracking it. The chanting ceases once again, and a mound of refuse and vegetation emerges from the pool and attacks us.

In a highly improbable sequence of events, we manage to defeat the beast. Once we do, the structure begins to shake and crumble. We get the sense that the entire house and crypt may be coming down, so we book it for the exit. With ghouls in hot pursuit, we make it out of the basement and back to the first floor. The windows are all bricked up, the doors have been replaced with swinging blades, and the fireplaces are lit, spilling over into the rest of the rooms. With a couple of very close calls, we manage to leap and drag our way through the sets of doors between us and the exit.

Exhausted and beat up, we head to the inn and rest. The next day, we come across a fortune teller who has taken up shop in town. She greets us, and asks personal questions that reveal that she knows far more about each of us than we know about each other. Unsettled, but intrigued, we ask for a reading. She produces a deck of cards from out of nowhere and offers us to draw from it.

“This card tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient will help you better understand your enemy.” Rolen draws and reveals the 6 of Glyphs -- “The Anarchist, with this I see walls of bones, a chandelier of bones, and a table of bones - all that remains of enemies long forgotten.”

“This card tells of a powerful force for good and protection, a holy symbol of great hope.” Garfield draws the 3 of Coins -- “Ah the Trader, Look to the wizard of wines! In wood and sand the treasure does hide.”

“This is a card of power and strength. It tells of a weapon of vengeance: a sword of sunlight.” Frank draws the 7 of Stars -- “The illusionist, eh? A man is not what he seems. He comes here in a carnival wagon. Therein lies what you seek.”

“This card sheds light on one who will help you greatly in the battle against darkness.” Leo draws and reveals a card with a Ghost. “Oh so he’s back in the picture? I see a fallen paladin of a fallen order of knights. He lingers like a ghost in a dead dragon’s lair, convincing him won't be easy.”

“Now I see, your enemy is a creature of darkness, whose powers are beyond mortality. This card will show you where he can always be found.” She flips over the top card and shows The Tempter. “A secret place - a vault of temptation hidden behind a woman of great beauty. The evil waits atop his tower of treasure.”

Shut Up

for my love, @phantombluue

Summary: Ares decides to swoop you up in the middle of the night to deliver you to Silvanus in hopes you can comfort the old earth ghoul

Word count: 1,300

You fell asleep for all of maybe twenty minutes before your door clicked open. It wasn't unusual for the older siblings to go around and do headcounts every now and then, but it still made you groan softly. That's fine. Any second now, your door would click shut and you could go back to bed.

But you heard it: soft footsteps that grew closer. You finally turn, ready to tell the sibling that you're okay and you just want to sleep. That's when you recognize him.

The broken horns. Those glowing violet-blue eyes. That familiar scowl on his face.

“Shut up.” It's the first thing out of Ares' mouth as he reaches out. A squeak escapes your lips as he unceremoniously scoops you up into his arms. He sounds tired as he turns and walks out of your room, the sound of his boots echoing in the silent halls.

“I need you for tonight,” he grumbles softly, not even bothering to look at you. “Or rather, Sil needs you.”

Silvanus? You knew the ghoul. He was Papa Nihil's drummer and, at most times, a sarcastic loud-mouth. Still, he had retained some charm and was nice to most of the siblings, especially you. He never shooed you out of the kitchen when he was cooking and he had offered for you to spend time in their dens if ministry life got to be too much.

“Why does he need me?” you ask. Those eyes flicker down to you, the violent glint in them making your blood run cold.

“Shut up.” Fair enough. You watch as he carries you past the guest houses and towards their dens. The building wasn't as big as the others; it was only big enough to house the four of them. You heard talk of there once being a fifth, but no one had ever expanded on it. You supposed tonight wasn't the night to ask the old fire ghoul about the rumors.

Ares isn't gentle as he opens the door, kicking it shut with his heel. It's warmer inside, though it's dark. He trudges up the stairs and you cling a little tighter to him, worried he'll trip. You hear him let out a huff, but he doesn't say anything else as he takes a sharp right at the top of the stairs. In the dim light that seeps through the giant windows, you can barely make out the earth symbol on an oak door. It didn't take a genius to know who it belonged to, and you felt your heart speed up at the thought of being inside Silvanus' room for the first time.

“Stop that.” You look back at Ares, his scowl still cemented on his face. “Calm down or you'll freak him out.”

“I'm not exactly used to being carried into a ghoul's room,” you fire back, though you keep your voice low like he's doing. He stands outside of the door motionless, and you take a couple deep breaths to try and steady yourself.

“Don't ask him too many questions,” he instructs you. “He'll talk if he wants. Other than that, just... be there for him.”

“You're still not making any sense.” But he doesn't respond. Instead, he twists the golden knob and pushes the door open with his shoulder. The smell hits you but it's not the musk you're familiar with. The smell of forest is there, sure, but there's something heavier on top of it; sickly and heavy with iron. You see the way Ares' face contorts from a scowl to discomfort.

“Fratello,” he calls out softly. You see Silvanus laying in a plush bed, a light green canopy drawn around it. A brass lantern is lit, placed on the table next to his bed. Ares moves forward, shouldering the canopy open as he drops you on the bed. You see how Silvanus' ears twitch but he doesn't move. He doesn't even make a sound. “I've brought you company, mia luce. You know this Sibling, don't you?”

He finally moves, looking over his shoulder at you and letting out a small chuff. The sight of him makes your heart break. Any light from his eyes have gone and the dark circles have gotten worse. On top of that, his cheeks glisten in the dim light. Had he been crying?

“I didn't want you to be alone tonight,” Ares continues softly. “but Notus needs me. I figure your favorite Sibling would be better company than a fire ghoul.”

This time, he lets out a soft grunt. The somber look on Ares' face is so foreign as he stares at the earth ghoul. For once, he finally looks lost; helpless and defeated. His eyes go back to you. A silent nod is all you get, like he's reminding you of what he had said before he leaves, shutting the door behind him. You turn your attention back to Silvanus. The ghoul isn't looking at you anymore. Instead, he's looking at the wall, the seafoam green paint seeming to hold his interest. The comforter is drawn up to his hip, exposing his bare torso to you.

“Silvanus?” you try softly. His ears twitch but, again, he doesn't move. “Hey, what's wrong?”

“'m fine.” But you know it's a lie. His voice is strained, raspy, and even in that short sentence, you can hear how he's reverted back to the overlapping voice. You'd only heard it once when he was yelling at Sister Imperator. You didn't think you'd hear it again, especially in this state.

You feel awkward reaching out but you finally do. You rest your hand on his shoulder, your thumb stroking his skin. He feels cold underneath your touch.

“I'm here if you need me.” It's something he had told you when you started to hang around him more. Just a soft affirmation. But it seems to work.

At first, you assumed he was just going to ignore you again. But slowly, like it almost pains him to move, he finally rolls over to face you. This isn't the Silvanus you're used to and your eyes trail down to his neck. A nasty scar is embedded across his throat, but he tucks his head down when he notices you staring for too long. Ares' voice rings in your head. Don't ask him too many question. You settle on letting the silence linger as your hand moves towards his face, thumb swiping away the drying tears. You can't get over how broken and empty he looks.

But he finally moves again, burying his face in your neck and wrapping his arms around you to pull you close. His breathing is heavy and you can't tell if he's crying again or not. So you just hold him back, rubbing soothing circles into his back. You see how some of the plants hanging around his room has wilted. You wonder if this is what Ares has to deal with. You wonder if this is what Ares would do. Was this the right thing to do? Is this what he needed?

“It's okay,” you tell him, your voice just above a whisper. “I'm right here.”

“Thank you.” It's still the overlapping voice but it's getting better, steadier. He nuzzles further into your neck. You let your hand move, trailing through his hair and combing through it with your fingers. His heavy breathing slowly evens out, his body finally relaxed.

“Sil?” He doesn't answer. Probably finally fell asleep. So you press your lips against his head before settling further into the bed. You rest your head on top of his. Well, at least you could spend the night with your favorite ghoul. Even if you wished the conditions were different.

Could we have some comfort from Nihils ghouls? Possibly comfort for anxiety or just comfort in general. Please and thank you. 😊

Totally didn't neglect these for the past like 2 months-

v short but here we go

Sleeping next to your beloved ghoul always helped bring you peace of mind. You knew you were safe with him, normally with his arm wrapped around your body and holding you against his chest. If you were lucky, you would stay up a little bit after he had fallen asleep, hearing the soft and gentle purr that would reverberate in his chest as he slept. It was something that would always lull you to sleep.

But tonight had been different, plaguing you with a nightmare. Standing before your Papa, those mismatched eyes peering down at you with such a disgusted look on his painted face. It felt as though your feet were made of cement, binding you to the marble floor as his ghouls circled you. You had caught sight of your beloved among his pack, those glowing eyes hungry and fierce.

“You understand why you're here,” Papa sneers, snapping his fingers to regain your attention. “Do you know how much you've cost us in resources? How inadequate you are as a sibling?” He leans forward. “You can't do your chores right. You can't take simple instructions. Your careless actions have cost me time, money, and patience.” His voice lowers as he spits out the last sentence, “You are a liability.”

“N-no, Papa!” Ares swipes at you, narrowly missing your arm and making you jump back with a shriek. Your body bumps into a ghoul, earning you a snarl. Green eyes glare down at you, but you're shoved away from the ghoul before you know it, bumping into another. Even through his clothes, his skin is ice cold, and you're quick to take a stumbling step back. Those double horns seem to glisten in the light, and the runes on his larger horns looked like they were glowing.

“You do have one use,” Papa continues, waving his hand dismissively. “My boys need to eat. Seeing as you've outlived your usefulness, you can at least do this one simple task.”

“Papa-” Your plea is cut off, a clawed hand wrapping around your throat. The smell of the lake surrounds you as Neptune walks into view. His face is emotionless and he's silent. Instinctively, your hands go for his wrist, trying desperately to pull him off. But without any effort, you feel yourself being lifted off of the ground, and your mouth opens pitifully as you try to breathe. You manage to get out little squeaks here and there, your legs kicking and flailing as your nails dig into Neptune's wrist. Your only thought is to try and carve out pieces of the giant's flesh in hopes that he'll drop you. But the way his hand squeezes, putting more and more pressure on your windpipe and spine, shows that he won't be stopping anytime soon. 

Your body is being shaken, gently at first before coming violent, and you can vaguely register noise to accompany it. In a flash, the scene before you is gone and your eyes snap open. Your body jerks up, hands flying to your throat.

Ares

“Hey, hey! You're okay!” His accent brings you comfort, as does his scent. His warm arms wrap around you, pulling you to his chest as his hand rubs your back. “It's okay. I'm right here.”

“Ares...” It doesn't take you long. You return the embrace, burying your face in his neck as you let your hammering heart slowly start to settle. He holds you tightly, reminding you that you're okay and that he wouldn't ever let anyone hurt you. 

When you finally pull back, you take a reassuring look around the room. The brick walls (that normally made you feel so cold and imprisoned) had never felt so cozy. You let out a shaky breath, following Ares as he lays down with you, your head resting on his chest.

“You wanna talk about it, amore?” he asks you softly, rubbing your upper arm. You let out a soft hum.

“It was just a nightmare.”

Astraeus

You almost shriek when you see those glowing white eyes staring down at you. 

“It's just me!” he tells you in a panic, his cold hand leaving your arm so he can raise it in defense. It takes you a second to realize what's going on, but the chill that sweeps through the old church is familiar. His name comes out of your mouth in a relieved breath, and you sit up to wrap your arms around his neck. The ghoul holds you close, his tail loosely wrapping around your waist as he presses a kiss to your forehead.

“You're alright, elskan,” he whispers against your skin. Though your heart is still racing, you can at least acknowledge that you're safe with your beloved. 

The two of you move, rearranging the comforter so it's wrapped around you both snugly. Your back rests against his cold chest, sending a chill up your spine. 

“Do you wanna talk about it?” His voice stays soft and comforting, but you just smile and shake your head.

“I know I'm safe here.”

Neptune

The shaking is violent enough to wake you up, and the second you see those blue eyes, you jerk back from him. Neptune's ears pin back, a loud whine emitting from him as his hand lowers onto the bed, steadying himself. It takes you a second to recognize where you are, the light reflecting off of the water from his indoor pond and the giant fish tank in the back reminds you where you are. 

He lets out concerned chitters, drawing closer to you. You're certain he can hear how fast your heart is beating. He has to with how worried he looks.

“I'm okay.” It doesn't seem to really help him, another soft whine sounding out. You open your arms, allowing the giant ghoul to scoop you up and place you in his lap. He practically curls around you, holding you close as his head rests atop yours. It almost makes your nightmare feel silly. You knew that your gentle giant would never do anything to hurt you. If anything, he had shown that he would hurt others if they posed as a threat towards you. 

You lean into the ghoul's body, taking in the smell of the lake. At least the scent made you feel calm now. 

Notus

“Wake up!” Your head knocks against Notus' when you shoot up in bed, sending you right back down as you hold your forming bruise. A whine comes out of the air ghoul as he reels back, his face scrunched up in pain. 

“Sorry...” Those gray eyes stare down at you, concern washing over again. “Are you okay? You were kicking and screaming.”

“I-I'm fine.” But your shaky voice tells otherwise. He reaches out, pulling you against him and letting you bury your face in his neck as he slowly rocks you back and forth.

“It's okay,” he whispers, rubbing your back. “I'm here. I'm here.”

You take your time, breathing in that crisp scent of his and remembering that you're back in his room. You're safe in his arms. You know he would never hurt you.

“Thank you.”

Silvanus

Your scream is the first thing that actually registers when you wake up, but you can't move. It takes a second, but you finally recognize the hands on your shoulders, pinning you to the bed as a distressed earth ghoul looms above you. His hair is tousled and there's a concerned look on his face.

“You're okay. You're okay now.” You know he's trying his best to keep you calm, slowly pulling his hands back. You look around his room, the various plants and the window wall reminding you where you were. You weren't in the cold basement with your Papa spewing venom at you. You weren't being circled by your beloved and his pack. You were safe in his bed, in his room.

He lays next to you, wrapping his arms around you when you shuffle closer to him. You feel him press a kiss to your head, his hand rubbing your back.

“You wanna talk about it?” he asks softly. Flashes of your nightmare come back, especially the look in his eyes when you had bumped into him.

“Maybe in the morning.”

BONUS:

Richard

“Hey, hey, hey! It's me! It's me!” Your eyes shoot open, your wrists being held in Richard's grasp. In the dim light, you can barely see a forming bruise on his cheek, and the guilt quickly spreads when you realize what happened. 

You sit up, wrapping your arms around the man and pulling him close. He returns the embrace, softly shushing you as one of his hands go to your hair, petting it in an attempt to calm you down. It does work in all honesty. At least you knew you were safe in his apartment. 

When you finally pull away, he reaches out, caressing your cheek.

“Are you okay? His voice is thick with concern. “You were fighting so much in your sleep. I was worried.”

“I'm sorry.” The words come tumbling out, but he shushes you again.

“It's okay. I get it.” He gives you a smile, leaving you for just a moment to turn on the light. The brightness makes you squeeze your eyes shut for a second, but you finally adjust and reopen them. Richard is still giving you a small, comforting smile. The second he opens his arms, you're settling right in between them. He presses a kiss to your head as you bury your face in his neck. 

“You wanna talk about it?”

“Not right now.

alright everyone, this post is going to be on Nihil's old ghouls. as I've said, I don't know if they're used anywhere else or by anyone else. this is only going to be my version of them and the names I use for them. I've had a few people ask about Ares and since I am almost done with a fic for all of these boys, I felt like it was appropriate to make a post for them.

this is still pretty much unofficial and will be until I get everything squared away and I'm 100% happy with how they are. when that day comes, I'll make a new official post

each ghoul is defective (save for Astraeus) because Nihil wasn't always in the church and his first summon was a flop. however, he was too attached to his ghouls at this point to send them back and decided to keep them.

Ares:

Element: Fire

Position: Lead guitar

Personality: A loaded gun, Ares started out as aggressive and hostile, and kept this up until Papa Emeritus II took hold of the band. While he's still short and blunt with everyone he comes in contact with (save for his own pack), he's allowed himself to become more playful and joking.

Relationship to Nihil: His closest matched energy, Ares is everything Nihil actually hates about himself. Normally selfish and self-centered, Ares put himself first above all else when first summoned. The name "Nihil" had originally come from Ares, where he refused to call the man "master" like the others, and instead called him Nihil because, quote: "Nihil translates to nothing, and that's all you are to me."

His toxicity waned after Astraeus had attacked Nihil and Ares defended him. This resulted in Ares having broken horns, two missing claws and multiple scars. After this, however, Ares started to refer to Nihil as "master" and now refuses to use the old nickname he had originally coined.

Defective: Unable to self-regenerate like the other ghouls, Ares is more susceptible to death. Vulnerable during fights because nothing will grow back.

Neptune:

Element: Water

Position: Bass

Personality: This happy-go-lucky water ghoul is normally all smiles and happy chitters. He resembles a giant teddy bear and, standing at 6'9, he normally has to pick everyone up in order to hug them. Physical touch is the best way to get his intentions across, but he does acknowledge that his build can be frightening to some. A selfless ghoul that puts everyone before him, Neptune only wants everyone around him to be just as happy as he is.

Relationship to Nihil: Joy and excitement personified, this lovable giant encompasses all of Nihil's happy emotions. He's the easiest to get along with and will happily welcome attention and affection at any and every turn.

However, in times of immense stress and/or rage, Neptune will dissociate and lash out. His strength is unmatched and only Nihil can pull him out of this haze. It's a rare thing, and Neptune hates letting this happen because he will have no recollection after he snaps out of it. The last time he went into a frenzy, the entire ministry had been flooded, multiple siblings had been killed and injured, and Silvanus had been injured trying to calm him down.

Defective: Being a mute, Neptune relies on vague gestures and physical touch to get his point across. This leaves him unable to call out any important information and has, in the past, gotten his pack injured in fights.

Notus:

Element: Air

Position: Keyboard

Personality: Shy and reserved, Notus doesn't interact with others too much. He keeps to himself and mainly to his pack and Nihil, never having made a connection with the newer ghouls or Papas. He's easy to frighten and fluster, and he feels like everything he says make him looks stupid. As a result, he normally settles for short answers or just head nods/shakes.

Relationship to Nihil: All of Nihil's shyness and insecurities rolled into one, Notus is the frontman's need to avoid conflict. He bottles up all of his emotions and feelings in order to maintain neutral ground with everyone, even if it's self-destructive. While he has become a bit more open over the years, he's still very shy when meeting new people/ghouls and will revert back to the timid air ghoul he was originally summoned as.

Although, there has been an instance where his emotions got the better of him. In the heat of the moment, Notus had actually snapped the day one of the siblings decided to get in Nihil's face, spewing threats and insults. As a result, the air ghoul got between them and, when he couldn't talk the sibling down, he let his elemental magick take over. The winds he had summoned were enough to break apart the old church, leaving a good portion of it as nothing but rubble. The ministry had to make a new church and, to no one's surprise, Notus hid away and refused to speak to anyone for almost a month.

Defective: Horribly near-sighted, Notus has been deemed "blind". Anything that isn't about 6in in front of his face becomes horribly blurry and all he can make out is various shapes and colors. Because of this, Notus has a hard time differentiating feral ghouls and members of his own pack.

Silvanus:

Element: Earth

Position: Drums

Personality: Laid-back and calm, Silvanus tries to not let much bother him. He doesn't seek out attention but also won't turn it away when presented to him. He has a sort of parental figure vibe and will happily listen to any siblings or ghouls that has problems, and even try to offer advice. He keeps an "open door" policy where he'll never turn away anyone, no matter the time of day or if he's busy.

Relationship with Nihil: Silvanus is Nihil's spirituality and loving side come to life. He's the man's voice of reason and tries to talk everyone down when the room is getting too tense. Though he has a more easy-going personality, this earth ghoul has no problem becoming firm and, in times of extreme need, aggressive and even hostile to whoever is causing problems.

In the beginning, Silvanus was very professional and was the one who tried to guide Nihil onto the right paths, though he never pushed too hard. However, as years passed and Papa Emeritus I took over, Silvanus allowed himself to become more free and laid-back, and eventually took on the new role as being everyone's little "safe haven".

Defective: Because his claws won't grow and his teeth aren't sharp like a normal ghoul's should be, Silvanus has to rely on his antlers and fighting techniques, along with being able to evade and his elemental magick.

Astraeus:

Element: Quintessence

Original Position: Rhythm guitar

Personality: Paranoid and hostile, it's commonly advised to avoid this ghoul as most encounters have resulted in severe injury or death.

Relationship with Nihil: Originally meant to be his compassion and empathy, Astraeus had been summoned previously by multiple masters, all of them betraying and traumatizing him. This left the ghoul in a paranoid state, refusing to believe that the new leader of a Satanic church would actually treat him well. Because of this, Astraeus was aggressive and oftentimes unapproachable, especially if Nihil was the one who wanted him.

Through it all, Nihil refused to send Astraeus back, insisting, quote: "He's still my ghoul. He's still part of me. I can't leave him." And while Nihil had tried time and time again to gain the ghoul's trust, it never worked. The fateful day Nihil had tried to push through Astraeus' paranoia, the quintessence ghoul attacked him. He also attacked Ares, breaking the fire ghoul's horns and ripping two of his claws off before cutting Ares' lip and chest. However, Astraeus was eventually defeated and retreated into the woods, making his home out of the old church Notus had destroyed.

It's said that he's calmed down after all these years, but Neptune is the only one brave enough to try and spend time with him.

Deemed Feral

Do you have any headcanons for the ghouls as partners? asking for a friend

Ares is your typical romantic. Contrary to popular belief about how he could never love anyone, he will become incredibly soft and gentle with his partner, and he has a habit of spoiling them a whole bunch. While he'll still have days where he'd rather just be alone, Ares is happiest when he has his partner in his arms

Astraeus is actually very nervous with a partner. Because of his first, and last, relationship, he's scared he'll do something to mess everything up, and he's not sure he can handle another heartbreak. He might be a tiny bit clingy and need a bunch of reassurance, but when he's finally settled down, he'll be all purrs and soft kisses with his partner

Neptune is very "vocal" about his love for his partner. He purrs and happily chitters whenever he's with them, and he has a bit of a touching problem. All he wants to do is pick them up and hold them, or even just hold their hand if carrying them around isn't their cup of tea. He tries very hard to understand that a healthy relationship requires both parties to take breaks from each other, but Neptune can't help himself. He just wants to be wherever his love is

Notus actually becomes more confident in himself. He'll initiate conversation more, and he's even throwing out jokes here and there. That normal timid, monitoring look will fade from his face whenever his partner is with him, and he'll be nothing but smiles and good vibes. Similar to Neptune, Notus wants to always be touching his partner, but nothing too extreme. He's more than happy to hold their hand, or even have his arm around their waist

Silvanus is actually a bit problematic. Yes, he is a very sweet ghoul that lives for taking care of his partner, whether it be cooking for them, buying them gifts, or simply listening and spending time with them. However, he can also become very possessive. While he won't restrict his partner's freedom, he will become hostile to others that show a lustful or romantic interest in his partner, and, on some occasion, he will become violent towards the other person

Merry Christmas! just some Christmas hcs for Nihil's ghouls..... and Richard. don't ask about him, he's a long story

Ares:

He's already not too happy about the cold weather

His joints ache and he's wearing a hoodie underneath his jean jacket

You'll find him in his room for most of the morning, since he has a nice fire going in the fire pit

Cuddle up with him until the others wake up. He'll be more than happy to allow you into his bed

"There you are, amore. Was hoping I wouldn't have to wait to see you."

The ghouls don't normally give each other gifts. They've been together for over 60 years and they don't care to exchange

But for you, Ares has already gone out and gotten you a ring

It's nothing too special. Just a simple fire opal he wanted you to have to remember him by

Please don't show it off too much. He'll never hear the end of it from everyone else and he doesn't want to be bothered

Hope you enjoy spending the night with him, because he refuses to let you leave the dens. You're giving him attention whether you like it or not

Astraeus:

This is the one and only time he will actually leave his stupid church

He'll slip into your room in the early morning

"Shh, tesoro. It's only me. I just wanted to surprise you."

He's cuddling up to you for the rest of the night, kissing your shoulder and holding you close to him

Don't worry, he'll still be there in the morning, and he'll still be cuddled up to you

He doesn't feel comfortable leaving your room, however. He just doesn't wanna bump into Nihil or his old packmates

Don't let that stop you, though. Go do whatever you need to. He'll keep himself occupied until you get back

He also might've borrowed one of the guitars from the old practice room when he was on his way to your room in the midddle of the night

He'll put it back. He promises. He just wanted to play you some music while you two spend the day together

He couldn't exactly get you a present, so this is it: him playing music while he softly sings his feelings to you

Neptune:

You don't have to seek him out. Trust me. He knows where you are

You'll know this when you're suddenly pulled off your feet and you're being pressed against his chest as he hugs you

He's full of happy chitters and loud purrs, nuzzling the side of his face against yours and even giving you soft kisses

You're not going anywhere today so I hope you're happy being carried around by this giant ghoul

He's bringing you back to the dens for some food first. He knows how easily humans get hungry

But the second you're done eating? You're accompanying him out to the lake

You two aren't swimming. He knows it's cold. He just likes being away from everything and everyone with you

But he will ask that you close your eyes. Just trust him. He's a good boi

You'll feel the cold of the gift around your neck. It's nothing too special. Just a silver anchor necklace with a sapphire heart on it

This is his way of always being with you. He knows you're busy with the clergy and everything, and he knows you can't always make time to see him. So this was his next best thing to do

Notus:

I won't lie to you, this little sweetheart was worried he wouldn't see you today

He was up all night fretting and Ares had to help shut out his worries

You'll see just how much he lights up when you come into the dens and seek him out

He'll pick you up and swing you around, giving you a sweet kiss. He's just very happy you're here

"I'm so glad you decided to come! I was worried you would've been too busy for us."

Also, he's 100% pulling you into his lap when you two sit down, especially if it's to eat

He's also wiping your face clean if you get food on yourself. He just wants to take care of you

You're not leaving the dens after everything is done. He's leading you up the stairs and to his room

No, it's not for anything sexual..... yet. He actually got you a gift

It's nothing too special, but he got you some chimes. He hopes that, whenever you hear them, you think of him

Richard:

This lovable idiot normally hangs around the ministry and with Nihil's ghouls whenever he feels like it

But today? Oh, today he's gathering you up and leaving. He has everything planned out, just you wait

He's nothing but smiles and sweet, tender kisses. He won't tell you where you guys are going. It's a surprise, after all

But you can kinda guess what's going on when you see the wicker basket and his guitar in the backseat

Don't say anything. Let him think he's being clever

He drives up to a cliff that overlooks the whole city, and he's being a true gentleman helping you out of the car

"I hope you like everything, sweetie. I've been thinking about what to do for the past few months and, well... I thought it'd be nice for us to just be alone."

He's got your favorites in the basket, setting everything up on a cute little blanket

He'll play you any song you ask for, providing he knows it. If you don't have any requests then he's just winging it and singing some slow romance songs he had written up during his sleepless nights

He'll hold you close when it gets darker, pressing kisses to your head as you two look over the city

Silvanus:

He spends most of the morning cooking, as always

Don't worry, he's made sure to cook you your favorites. And knowing the others, they won't be up until the afternoon, so he serves you first with a kiss on the head

"Merry Christmas, ciccio. I hope you'll have fun today. I know I'm not... really that interesting."

Don't offer to help. He won't allow you to work. Just sit back and relax until he's done

Everyone will hang out in the common area for a bit, sharing stories and just talking

Silvanus will make sure you're comfortable in his lap, arms around your waist and head on your shoulder

He's constantly checking up on you, making sure you're comfortable. He knows that sometimes it can get a bit... intimidating being around his pack for so long

When everything dies down and everyone goes their separate ways, he'll lead you up and into his room

He got you something, saying it's nothing too special. It's just a sun catcher that he hopes you like

His room has a lot of windows, one of the walls even being nothing but a floor-to-ceiling window. He hopes that whenever the sun reflects on your gift, it reminds you of the times you'd spend with him in his room

I'm finally home, so here's the Thanksgiving hcs for Nihil's dumbass ghouls

Ares:

This is one of the only times he's cooking alongside Silvanus in the kitchen, so he'll be absent for the morning

But the second he's done, he'll bring you a plate of food and eat with you

"I hope you like everything, mia luce. Don't worry, we used different meat for you."

He'll talk a little bit, but he's quiet for the most part. You'll have to initiate conversation if you want it at all

He keeps busy before and after dinner, so you might be waiting a bit to spend time with him

But don't worry, once the dishes are done, he'll be all yours and he's open to doing whatever you want

Astraeus:

You'll have to go out to the old church to find him because Lucifer knows he won't wanna step foot on ministry grounds

But if you've managed to get close to him, he'll welcome you inside

He can't exactly offer you food since he's sure you won't like human meat, but he can offer you his company

He'll indulge you in stories he can remember, and even old poems if that's something you'd like

He might look mean, but he really does appreciate you being with him

"Having you here with me... it really means a lot to me, amore."

Neptune:

He likes spending time with his pack, but he's also happy you're here to spend time with them

He's also keeping you in his lap and nuzzle your cheek while the food is being made

Expect him to also feed you and/or clean your face. He just wants to pamper you

Letting out a lot of curious chitters, wondering if you're enjoying the food and enjoying your time with them

After everything's done and put away, he's carrying you to his room

Hopefully you like relaxing in water, before he just wants to kinda float around and hold you

Notus:

Mans is absolutely vibrating with excitement when you finally get to the dens

Holidays, big or small, are his favorite because it means everyone gets together and he gets to spend more time with you

You two will spend the morning just relaxing in his room and cuddling while the food is being made

"I love when we get to spend time like this together. It makes me happy knowing you like being with me and my pack."

He has a habit of holding your hand a lot, especially while eating. Just let him know if you want a break from it and he'll oblige

He'll stay behind to help with the dishes, but once the others tell him it's okay to leave, he's quick to lead you back to his room for more cuddling

Silvanus:

Just like Ares, he spends all morning cooking. However, he gets up a little earlier so he can go harvest fruits, herbs and veggies from the garden

He prefers you to stay out of the kitchen. Ares being in there is already too much for him, but the extra pair of hands is a huge help

He's cooking you different meat, and even cooking it in a different pan. He doesn't want you eating their meat and, eventually, ending up like them

He'll let you taste it, too. He wants everything to be to your liking.

"Alright, you got a taste. Now be good for me and go sit down, alright?"

Any second he's not busy in the kitchen, he's showering you in kisses and affections. He's just glad you're spending time with him

Merry Christmas! Have Silvanus

if you see any mistakes, no you don't

Do any of nihils ghouls have stuff like insomnia, ptsd, adhd, ect?

they're all fucking stupid

but real talk:

Ares has light insomnia. some nights it's worse than others, but for the most part, he wakes up every 1-2 hours. when he does wake up, he'll leave his room and go check on everyone. he won't wake them, but he'll just quietly open the door to their room, poke his head in, make sure they're fine and then leave

Astraeus deals with trauma. out of all of the ghouls, his abuse was the worse. because of this, he reacts negatively with sudden movement, people reaching towards him, any sort of touch, things like that. if he knows you and likes you, then he tolerates it more. but other than that, he just doesn't want anyone around him

Neptune cannot deal with fire. period, the end. he has a huge fear of it because of his death, and he has gotten burned. it's why he wears his mask 24/7 now. even though the fire only caught the side of his mouth, it scarred him and also made him feel like his entire body was set on fire. in a way, he relived his burning until his mind will finally shut down and he goes into a frenzy. Ares is actually the one that tries to keep Neptune away from any and all visible flames

Notus deals with anxiety and adhd. the others try to keep him "sheltered". they know he can get kinda panicky in large crowds. one of his ways to tell someone he's close with "I'm not doing okay and I need to leave" is by gently biting their shoulder or the top of their ear. these are areas he'll bite in a more intimate way, so he hopes it gets the message across. he can also be impulsive at times, but he's gotten better with this as the years have gone on

Silvanus is severely depressed and is believed to be bipolar. while he can hide it very well, he has a habit of making very dark jokes, and there have been plenty of times where he'll have depressive episodes. if his mental state gets bad enough, he'll actually leave the ministry and go to a certain tree in the forest, block off the little entrance with his vines and sort of hibernate. there will also be nights where he'll relive his death. he'll wake up out of a dead sleep, unable to breathe and he'll feel blood and the pain at his throat. he'll panic until he finally passes out and he can breathe again. no one knows why this happens or how to prevent it

Hi! Hello!

That I am an enthusiast of Papa Nihil's Ghouls, there is no secret.... To know you are acepting requests about them and them only? Ahhh! I adore your writing!

Do you think the ghoul have kind of a preparation ritual before the shows? With Papa and/or without Papa. Something they do everytime before go on stage.

May you share some thoughts with us, in a narrative or by headcanon-type topics please?

LETS GOOOOOO ANOTHER ONE FOR THE NIHIL'S GHOULS ARMY <3333

but plssss I'm glad you like my writing bb <333 there isn't too much about the boys when it comes to preparations before the shows, but Nihil did notice a little habit when it came to all of them

Ares would actually step out and smoke a cigarette. He would take his time, but he was always back inside before they had to go on stage, and he always stayed looking presentable

Astraeus, before he ultimately left in 1968, would actually spend his time writing in a little notebook. When Nihil had asked about it, Astraeus confessed that he still wrote poems, just like he did when he was alive. Apparently it helped clear his mind

Neptune simply would always open his arms to Nihil and patiently wait. In all of their time performing, Nihil has only declined Neptune a hug once. However, these little before-the-show hugs became a sort of routine, and Neptune also had a habit of picking the smaller man up and giving him a bit of a squeeze

Notus would actually practice a bit before the show, normally in his dressing room. He also always had a cup of coffee that he would drink and, normally, finish before they had to go on stage. He said it helped calm his nerves

Silvanus would actually give himself a little tarot reading. They normally weren't anything too big, just a 1 or 3 card pull. While he ended up buying his own decks years later, Silvanus always used the one Nihil had originally bought him back in 1960

I only have eyes for you

Don’t 100% vibe with this, but it’s not gonna get any better

Apollo belongs to @wyattwaslesslazy
