Some silly little thoughts and headcanons on Dew working in the abbey’s library... because I had ideas. Below the cut because this got longer than I expected.
-Dew started volunteering in the abbey’s library by request of Omega, who had seen a lack of direction and so-called “worldly understanding” in the younger ghoul, and wanted to use it as an opportunity to get him into the swing of things and to help him adapt to being around/working with humans.
However, another reason Omega set him up in the library in particular was because, well... he didn’t know if Dew could read.
It wasn’t a malicious decision mind you, but Omega had gotten more than a little concerned seeing how often Dew got others to fill out his paperwork or just ordered the same thing as someone else at a restaurant when the menu didn’t have pictures, and asking him was getting him nowhere, so he was hoping placing him in an environment like the library would get him to open up a little about what was going on.
It took about a week and a half for Dew to breakdown and admit that he didn’t know what he was doing or where things were supposed to go, but not for the reason Omega had expected; It hurt his eyes.
It hurt his eyes.
Dew was stuck in a constant, blurry torment since he was summoned, used to having the distortion of wind or water around him, he could easily play off any vision problems as a result of his environment.
On the surface though?
Not so much.
One trip to the eye doctor later, and Dew is much happier, and doing an all-round better job at... still not doing his paperwork.
Yeah, turns out Omega wasn’t wrong in his hypothesis either.
-Thanks to Omega’s decision to stick Dew in the library early on, he has a very strong attachment to the place, which is why none of the siblings or other staff members are worried about a fire ghoul hanging out in there... except maybe for the newer ones, but they learn quickly that Dew would never intentionally destroy any of the books inside... the people however.
Let’s just say Dew is pretty strict on the whole “quiet area” rule.
-Sometimes, when Dew is bored and not in a mood for his usual shenanigans, he’ll sneak into the library to sort out the books in the book return and log/organize the various materials they have, and nobody has caught on that it’s him doing it, because why would he, of all people, do something like that?
He also cleans the children’s reading nook and vacuums the rugs, wipes down the tables and...
Let’s just say it’s really obvious when Dew is stressed about something, because that library is pristine.
-Nine times out of ten, when a new book appears in the library, it’s Dew’s doing. It’s usually a children’s book or some kind of young adult novel, but from time to time it’s a book he thinks would cause confusion/curiosity or because he thinks one of the siblings or his packmates would like to read without him having to give it to them directly.
-Dew keeps extra copies of the books he likes in his room, because he knows if he checks them out from the library, they’re not going back.
-Dew has an extensive knowledge of the church’s history as a result of how much reading he’s done, but is he going to admit that he knows? Fuck no.
If he really has to, he’ll say some random sibling told him or he’ll pose it as a theory, but he prefers to make the others do their own research, and he’s not a nerd so-
Okay, he’s kind of a nerd, but he has an image to protect.
And lastly;
-Dew has secret reading spots all over the abbey, usually, if someone finds a ghoul nest in a weird spot, it’s because Dew decided it would be a nice place to read, and, well, you have to be cozy to do that so...
His favorite place to read is his room though, and that’s why at least one other ghoul knows about this particular hobby of his.

here it is, like i said is not complete im gonna try but no promises.
Thanks @choerrypies for the idea, you may not know me and this could be a little bit creepy, but the shipname The Loch Ness Monster is actually awesome for this two.
Like you see the girls are a little out of characters, but i intended this I SWEAR.
Where Lou is always aggressive and over the top I like to think they can be actually pretty soft with the person they love and be more like a suportive sturdyrock for them (we have seeing this with Rudy)
And where Jess is always trying to appear cool, relaxe and collected, with Lou she can let out a little more of her dorky side cause believe me this girls is such a dork im sure.
Because Jess design has changed so many times, I strongly inspired her in my two lesbian icons Robin Buckley and Kim Pines (though this shows more with the colors jeje)
Oh and by the way, the locker. I tried to sneak as so many easter eggs as i could. so many reference, wait for a locker reveal, cause that for sure is something im gonna do. The draw may be incomplete but NOT THE LOCKER, that's my goal.
