Dying Star

I cried writing this… Troi I hope you’re happy with yourself /lh

Aether hurt.

He didn’t think fading would hurt this much, but it made sense. His soul, his spirit, everything that was him was falling apart. Dissolving like ink in water.

It had started with a sudden silence. He hadn’t realized how present his magick was in his body until it was gone. He had been walking back to the Abbey from Mountain’s greenhouse when there was a sudden swell of intensity in his stomach. He’d gasped and doubled over as it grew to a painful level. Ozone crackled in the air around him as the Quintessence just grew.

Mountain had been at his side in moments. He had tried to touch Aether, to put his arm around his packmate’s shoulders, but the energy was too strong. There was a sudden swoop in Aether’s stomach and suddenly it was gone.

Everything.

Was.

Gone.

Aether let out a choked sob. He knew what this meant. It was baked into the subconscious of every Quintessence ghoul. One day, your star would burn out, and you’d be gone.

Aether’s star had died. He felt cold and empty without his Quintessence.

The pack had tried to comfort him. They’d held him, wiped his tears, told them how much they loved him. It helped a little.

Aether only had days left. He tried to go about his life as usual, but it was no use.

His memory began to fade on the second day. He struggled to remember the chords he’d practiced thousands of times. His packmates started to look unfamiliar.

He started to hurt on the third day. His body was fading, shutting down for the night. He felt sick, weak and shaky. The pack tried to make him comfortable- they made a nest on his bed out of blankets and added their clothes to surround him with their scents. It helped a little.

He cried a lot. He was scared.

The worst part was, Dew could feel it too. His mate, the man he’d bonded his soul to, was dissolving. He felt him slipping away with every breath, every heartbeat, every second of every day. He curled up in the nest with Aether and cried with him.

He was almost gone on the fifth day. He was fuzzy around the edges like TV static. His hands sometimes passed through things. His thoughts were vague and disappeared quickly. He remembered his pack and mate, though not their names. He couldn’t talk anymore, his tongue felt impossibly light.

It was sunset of the sixth day when Aether faded completely. His pack surrounded him, pressed up against his fragile body. Dew’s fingers were laced with his. He was whispering words of devotion, of love, of bittersweet memories, but Aether couldn’t understand most of them anymore.

It felt peaceful to die, like falling asleep. His form dissolved like ash in water, leaving behind tear-stained blankets.

It didn’t hurt anymore.

He wasn’t there to hear Dew’s keening wail of despair, or his packmates joining in in a chorus of grief. He wasn’t there to watch the sky turn pink and orange and fade to deep gray as stormclouds rolled in.

He wasn’t there.

IM NOT READYYYY IM NOT READYYYYYYY

Ough god i have to draw quints tomorrow its fate i tell u its fate

more quintessence ghouls in their natural forms <3 Based off my headcanon that quints come from a completely separate place from the Pits called the Void, where literally only their small subspecies of ghoul can survive. They just adapted to have no physical form to be able to handle the immense pressure and sheer cold. They're just large masses of light that have pseudo-nerves so they can interact with each other.

its goofy and weird but idk it's fun to ponder glowy light guys

dont ask me why omega looks like that btw, i dont have an answer

Raji Sourani, a Palestinian human rights lawyer from , left the Gaza Strip with his family as the war raged. He then joined colleagues in Sicily, Italy to try to take Israel to the International Court of Justice. “What we are witnessing is unprecedented. And what’s more concerning is that the people documenting the horrors are dying too, erasing the evidence of what is happening,” Raju Sourani said.

If you click the link and watch the video, you'll see it ends with the IDF soldiers fleeing. The Palestinian resistance in the West Bank respond to the constant IDF invasions with everything they have whether it's stones and fireworks or guns and IEDs. Incredible bravery 🫡

There's a roar of flames in the back of his mind, spilling into his consciousness. 'You have to do something. We all have to do something.' It's Ifrit, a ghoul seasons younger than him, his scarlet skin ominous in the bloody red of the fading daylight.

S'more Fritter for the soul.... even if he's deeply traumatized in this picture.

Since joining the Ghost fandom I've been wondering what the Satanic equivalent of the Rosary could be called. Using "Rosary" doesn't feel quite right, but just saying "prayer beads" or something doesn't pack the same punch. So, I've taken it upon myself to come up with a name!

"Rosary" comes from the Latin word "rosārium" ("rosa" [rose] + "-ārium" [place for, object for]), which can mean either a rose garden or a garland/bouquet of roses. "Rosa" was also used as a metaphor for prayer or devotion, so in this context "rosārium" more or less means "a garland of prayers". I wanted to maintain the grammatical, botanical and metaphorical elements for a Satanic Rosary, and I think I've come up with the perfect solution.

First, I needed a word to replace "rosa". I thought, what's a plant associated with the Devil? An apple, of course! (I know it's not explicitly stated in the Bible that the forbidden fruit was an apple, but you'll soon see why it's perfect.) The Latin word for apple is "mālum", so if "rosārium" means a garland of roses, then "mālumārium" can mean a garland of apples.

This takes care of the botanical nature of the word, but what about the metaphorical? "Mālum" wasn't ever used as a metaphor for anything religious like "rosa" was, so it falls a bit flat. However! Mālum sounds almost identical to the Latin word for evil: "malum". During my research I came across a number of people wondering if this is due to the association between apples and the Devil. This isn't the case, as the two words have different etymological origins, but some think that the similarity might be at least part of the reason that the forbidden fruit came to be represented by an apple. So, "malumārium" = a garland of evil. I think this is perfect, and the fact that it's basically a pun fits with Ghost's goofiness, too.

Taking all of this into consideration, I propose that the Satanic equivalent of the Rosary is the Malumary. Just like with the Rosary, the word would start with a lowercase letter when referring to the beads ("She put her malumary in her pocket") and an uppercase letter when referring to the prayer ("They sat and prayed the Malumary together"). If you like it, feel free to use it in your fics/headcanons! I highly recommend this post by @sovaghoul for more inspiration.

How come there’s barely any stories of disabled siblings of sin or new ghouls- We should have stories that are inclusive to everyone?

More underneath- please read (:

Suffer with stuff like being amputees, nerve damage, asthma, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, heart disease, deaf, blind, autistic, epilepsy, tourettes- list goes on..

Needing a walking stick?

Needing a cane to see for you?

Needing full crutches?

Needing a wheelchair?

Prompts you can use:

Being in the Infirmary with the Quintessence ghouls so much with whatever illness or disability, they try to make life as comfortable as they can for you?

A new sibling of sin who’s blind and keeps hearing people talk about ‘Ghouls and Ghoulettes’ and finally asking someone to take them to Papa to ask if they can touch their masks so they know what people mean

A papa who overhears a sibling talking to their friends ‘do you think Papa would allow a service dog?’ And he looks into it for them before slipping a note under their door later that night explaining a dog is a possibility but a ghoul could also work too?

When a new sibling of sin arrives and they only have one leg, the other being metal and the Ghouls are absolutely fascinated with it, the ghoulettes asking first because they’re bolder and the sibling explains everything

A sibling who’s chronic pain is so severe, a ghoul rushes them into the infirmary where they become close friends and helps with the sibling get over their wheelchair embarrassment thinking they’re the only one who has to use it so the ghoul takes them to meet Zephyr

(Please if you use any of these prompts credit for the idea or a link to this so people know!)

#you wouldn't be able to get me to shut the fuck up about all of my quints if i actually posted my writing #(or my favorite ghoul oc that i project myself onto so hard) #gah.

[puppsworld]
