WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE FOR THE GH2VIE!!

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Happy Father’s Day you silly old Codger!

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

You probably have been asked this, but do you have any HCs about Zero/Nihil Era Ghouls? I can't find too many beyond one person on here and one on TikTok and figured if anyone had input, it'd be you

Funnily enough, I think I’ve only mentioned Nihil’s ghouls ONCE! I found a post on tumblr about someone’s awesome names and headcanons once; but I can’t remember who! TToTT

But I DO have my own ideas, though they fit into my own world building. It’s some of my extended history that I never really write about during asks. I will admit, it’s not as cool as some other headcanons I’ve seen. But I hope you enjoy how I connect them to the growth of the ministry in my world!

Papa Nihil’s “Ghouls” (aka from the Satanic Panic era videos!)

~Funnily enough, the ghouls Papa Nihil toured with during his prime aren’t actually ghouls… they are humans! The only ghoul that was allowed to tour with them was Papa Nihil’s personal ghoul/bodyguard; a Fire/Metal ghoul named Oro! Alpha, Air, Omega, Gamma, and Delta were all summoned and hanging around… they just weren’t utilized.

~Back when the Ghost Project was first made, ghouls were not intended to be the performers AT ALL! A lot of Ministry decisions aren’t just made by Nihil. They are made by the Conclave, High Ministry Magic Council, Sister Imperator, and The Ghoul Leaders. The majority voted that ghouls be kept out of the project for the most part. Which shocked the Ghoul leaders at first.

~Leader ghouls, especially, are meant to directly serve the chosen Papa. Their power will combine with the demonic leader to balance out. However, having said Ghoul leaders away from the Ministry could cause complications. The Ministry can function with a touring Papa, but Leader Ghouls are some of the strongest protectors they have on Earth! Yes, Nihil would have been more powerful with actual ghouls with him… but it was a huge risk.

~There was a ton of back and forth about it between all Clergy Leadership. Some insisted ghouls were needed to enhance Nihil’s abilities. Nihil was super arrogant in his prime and didn’t care either way. He was confident he didn’t need the extra help to sway new followers. Sister Imperator was… curious to test Nihil’s abilities as he was out on his own. Omega did NOT want to leave Ortrogothia in case of angel attacks. Alpha was pissed because he so badly wanted to go!

~Papa I would be the one to get actual ghouls to tour with him.

~Now to Nihil’s actual band, they were human men! They were good friends of Nihil’s, in fact! Members of the Ministry who were both talented and trusted to perform. They’ve all long since passed. But each enjoyed their short time touring with Nihil. When the project broke up after Nihil’s indiscretion with Sister, they all retired to very fruitful Ministry lives.

~Human performers were chosen because they would be easier to control and watch over. Ghouls are still powerful hell beings with specific needs and strength.

~They weren’t called ‘Nameless Ghouls’ during the ‘Panic Years.’ Nihil referred to them as “The Band.” Or on days he was very full of himself, “Nihil and the Ghosts.” Because the Ministry was still more underground at the time, none of the band minded! It was just an honor to go perform!

~They didn’t get cool nicknames like Ghouls do. Mostly because the project didn’t last long enough for fans to need names… and they had REAL ones! Records show that their full names have been long stored away or changed, but their first names are:

Guitar: James

Bass: Gene

Drums: Jurgen

Keys: Claudio

Elemental assignments didn’t come into the Ghost project until its resurrection. This was to reflect ghouls as their elements. But many siblings of sin have given them nick names anyway, in recent years. They have been called:

Vampa (Blaze), Sasso (Stone), Onda (Wave), and Bruma (Fog)

~The band kept Nihil sane during the breakup. He remembers them all so fondly! Even though they all told him what a dummy he was for cheating every day for two decades.

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

could you do something with a teen reader who hangs around the clergy like a stray cat whom of which, no matter how hard anybody tries, cannot be gotten rid of? If you get what I mean.

I debated on how I wanted to write this, but I hope this is ok! I took some liberties for the details to avoid the simple answer of “they exterminate outsiders” route! Which, uh, they often do!

Tags:

~The Ministry is still a cult and operates like one.

~Teenage Reader

~Implied Unhoused/downtrodden Reader

Teen Reader Who Hangs Around the Clergy

~Funnily enough, this happens a LOT! In fact, the Ministry LOVES getting teenagers like this! Kids with no place to go or no want to leave? It’s easy pickings for their ranks of siblings! Especially in more of the industrial Ministry buildings over the Abbies. There are a lot of kids who end up around Ministry property one way or another. In the more ‘normal’ areas of the world the Ministry practices charity work. Soup kitchens, programs, and “temp agencies.” It’s a wonderful way to get new followers indoctrinated!

~Problems usually arise if outsiders lurk around more private properties. Teenager or not, you can end up disappearing off the face of the Earth if you hang around too closely. The Ministry is still very strict on how much outsiders are allowed to see. A person that refuses to leave but refuses to join becomes a liability, after all…

~Chances are, if you are a kid who doesn’t have anything (orphan/on the streets) you’ve been adopted by now. No one can blame you! You immediately get a nice meal, new clothes, and a place to crash with these odd people. You wouldn’t say no to the facilities and activities they give you access to.

~You slowly would be urged to join the religious side of the Ministry. Even the outside workers are still incredibly devoted. It’s how you slowly learn the Homeless Shelter you’ve been staying at is actually run by this mysterious ‘Church of Ghost.’

~If you decide to stay, chances are you’ll either be adopted by someone there (if you wanted) or get shipped off to an Abbey where you’ll be indoctrinated as a youth. You don’t always have a choice of where they will send you. But if the group who adopted you has taken a shine to you, you’ll probably stay with them! This is how the businesses get younger interns or how Abbies get more teens training to be siblings!

~Sometimes the ministry even uses its own youth to lure in other teens. Again, with those social programs or fun activities. But they do help build community. Especially in the home country of Ortrogothia, where entire towns become connected to single abbies. Many towns folk think it’s a great idea if their children are accepted into the ministry for a ‘better’ life!

~Bonus fun fact: the only non-indoctrinated teenager to get away with bothering the Ministry? Mary Goore.

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Saw someone talking about this and my one headcanon to lighten the mood about it:

Fire ghouls are notoriously stubborn and everything Sodo does to persevere is out of spite.

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Does Papa Nihil wear crocs?

No… but Papa I totally does!

(Original vine here)

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Blast from the past!! Someone favorited this and reminded me of the time I was supposed to be an art blog. Oh how time changes haha

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Happy Anniversary Skeleta!

I can’t believe we’ve had a whole year of Pepe V being an absolute freak.

Love that guy!!

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

how would the papa's (of your choice) handle a clergy member that vanished for some time, but revived from the dead? and came back just *wrong*, like essentially a zombie with it's faculties intact

Unfortunately for you, I interpreted you saying “your choice” as “go ape with world building and background lore, with a tiny reaction from each Papa.”

… I’m not sorry.

This is VERY VERY heavy in my own lore that I built up over the years, so yay!

(Also a part of me REALLY REALLY wanted to reference Pet Sematary and had to hold myself back. But don’t be surprised if this is influenced by The Serpent and the Rainbow lol.)

Papa’s and Ministry Reacting to a missing Member that came back “Wrong”

Funnily enough all the Papas have roughly the same thought as to what happened! This is all assuming that the Member who was located wasn’t another supernatural being disguised as them (which happens more than you think.) Those instances are usually dealt with due to the keen nature of Ghouls and the demonic powers of the Papas.

Members of the Clergy go missing for many reasons. Some are covered up sacrifices, others wander off, and others still dabble in magic that no humans should attempt. It’s rarely spoken of, but Clergy members are never allowed to leave alive once they are inducted into the Ministry. So, any time a sibling goes missing there is a huge investigation. We can’t have those that defect or get kidnapped spill Ministry secrets, can we? Or unleash forces mortals can’t contain. That’s always a pain to clean up.

That all being said, there are THREE immediate assumptions the Papas have if all other matters have been ruled out. This is most likely the work of:

~A necromancer

~A Ghuleh

~Mary Goore, a Necromancer Ghuleh

Ghuleh? Not THE Ghuleh from the song. A Ghuleh! Aka, one of the many followers of the Ghuleh herself. It is the name she was cursed with (by Lilith) and a title given to all of her strong followers… Like Mary Goore. And all Ghulehs can be necromancers, but all necromancers aren’t Ghulehs… Ok, that’s a bit complicated. Let me break down the Papal thought process.

1) Necromancers = Necromancers/Liches can be a huge problem in the world. Luckily, it’s an incredibly tedious artform to learn. Not many who chase the secrets of the dead live to practice, ironically enough. The ministry technically have one Necromancer like being they are allied with (Hello, Mr. Psaltarian.) But to keep a Necromancer around is begging for trouble. Mortals weren’t made to mess around with the natural order. That kind of magic could lead to curses, out of control creatures, and ruining entire cities. One is not permitted within clergy walls because bringing back a soul will sometimes lead to accidentally summoning a demon! (Basically giving incorporeal beings the chance to possess a body.)

Another issue is that Necromancers have this horribly annoying habit of trying to raid the papal family crypts for bones and flesh! Mr. Psaltarian hates having to deal with those pests! Plus, they sometimes get the death attuned aether ghouls riled up.

Because of this, the assumption is usually a practicing Necromancer got a hold of one of their flock. The faculties being somewhat intact but still zombie like either points to an inexperienced practitioner, or one who is trying to make servants.

2) Ghulehs = To cram a lot of history in; Ghuleh was an undead Queen who was cursed to rule over undead. In turn she has her own devoted cult and some followers who earned her magic gifts. Ghulehs, named after her, tend to go nuts with necromancy. While they aren’t BANNED from the Ministry- they are often not integrated in for the most part. Lucifer did bless the Ghuleh, but Lilith cursed her… so they tend to stay away from anywhere Lilith might smite them. BUT- Papas like Papa II tend to embrace the legend and her followers for their service. Occasionally, seeing as how they tend to be lone wolfs, a Ghuleh will agree to serve. The second assumption would make them think a Ghuleh is about. Whether they turned the sibling of sin into a thrall on purpose or not is a completely different matter!

3) Mary Goore = The resident pain in the ass Nephew of Sister Imperator. Mary Goore is a Ghuleh in his own right. But he hates the Ministry and finds it annoying. The only reason he hasn’t been hunted down is his Aunt. Mary will always take an opportunity to screw with the Ministry any chance he gets. His meddling is legendary. The third assumption is that their baby Nephew( In Law) showed his sorry self again.

Regardless of WHO/WHAT is responsible, the sibling that came back is dealt with quickly. Sometimes that means keeping them, sometimes that means putting them down. Usuaully, Psaltarian and the ghoul Miasma (Syringe ghoul from the chapters) handle these matters.

For a bonus, here is a quick write up of all the Papa’s thoughts!

Papa Nihil: It’s that darned Mary Goore again! He knows it!! The boy has already taken a crap in his slippers and ate all of his left overs, so Nihil is SURE Mary is behind it!!

Papa I: First thought Papa has is to check all the heavily guarded forbidden records again. Sometimes Siblings get too big for their britches. Second is to have the aether ghouls look for disturbances.

Papa II: He really hopes it’s not a Ghuleh doing some unauthorized, again. He JUST got done patching up relations between the Ministry and the few known Ghulehs running around the globe!

Papa III: Lucifer forbid the sibling affected was one of his friends or staff! Papa doesn’t believe a Ghuleh is smart (or strong) enough to brazenly practice close to an abbey! This has to be another big shot, lich wannabe.

Papa IV/Frater Imperator/Cardinal Copia: It’s that darned Mary Goore again! He knows it!! The boy has already taken a crap in his slippers and ate all of his left overs, so Copia is SURE Mary is behind it!!

Papa V Perpetua: Uh oh, he hopes it wasn’t one of his experiments that got out! Chances are he probably knows the real reason but isn’t telling anyone. Unfortunately, Perpetua finds mortals panicking very funny. Sitting back to watch the chaos, until he must step in, is his priority.

[karmicbias]

Here we go again.

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

No because not only is this true but all of us fic writers live in a delusion where it isn’t lmao

2018 was a crazy time btw

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Y'know what? I need me some fluff, a little pallet cleanser if you will. How about the Papas with S/O who's just the embodiment of Sloth? Like they are always sleepy and can sleep anywhere at any time, like standing, while eating, on the floor, tucked away in a storage closet while avoiding chores. (I-it's me, I sleep everywhere if I close my eyes for long enough)

As a fellow nap enthusiast, I love this! I’m also needing a good palette cleanser, so I hope you love this as much as I needed this!

I accidentally tripped and wrote it where the reader is actually Sloth aligned in a power sense soooooooooo

Papas with a Sloth Aligned S/O That Naps EVERYWHERE

Papa Nihil: No matter when you both get together (Old Nihil or Young), Nihil always wants to join you! He can’t help himself; you just look so cozy! Nihil will crack jokes about where he’s found you. But genuinely, he thinks it’s nice. There is usually so much chaotic stuff going on in the clergy that it’s hard to rest. One conflict you both have over your sleeping is how many times he will wake you up to have you ‘move over’ so he can join you. Nihil is a clingy type of partner, so he always wants to join you. A running joke between you both is you telling him to “find his own spot.” The rest of the clergy finds you a very bad influence on the Grand Papa. Because now he sleeps so much more like you do!

Papa I: Despite how humorous it is, Papa is oddly supportive of you. You found this strange at first. Why would he be so supportive of something as silly as you sleeping? Turns out, Papa is VERY invested in your “devotion to sloth”. Truthfully, you didn’t know you even HAD some sort of alignment with the sin of Sloth until Papa told you. As it turns out, you are ‘a chosen vessel’ by the sin. You weren’t sure how to feel about it. Especially with your sin manifesting so literally. Papa has nurtured your understanding of what it means to be a chosen vessel. Though not much has changed with your devotion… or your sleeping habits. Except, of course, Papa assisting you. Papa has gone out of his way to make you comfortable little nooks for you to cozy into. Often chasing away those who want to make you. More than once you’ve woken up to find the first Emeritus has covered you with a quilt.

Papa II: Not out of disrespect, but Papa II will just leave you wherever you are. Unless you have something incredibly important to be doing, you’re often left to your own devices. He doesn’t want to wake you and often can’t be bothered anyway. Typically, he’s just impressed that you sleep through almost anything! He will find you in the weirdest circumstance, give a small ‘huh’, and go about his business. Papa will never admit how much he smiles when he finds you. He accepts that this is a part of your Sloth aligned nature. No need to bother you. However, if he DOES need you, he will literally snap you out of it. Snapping his fingers in front of your nose quickly until you rouse. If you need to be moved for whatever reason, he or a ghoul will carry you to bed. As long as you don’t drool on his furniture, Papa remains amused but indifferent.

Papa III: Your need to snooze is so charming to Papa. Utterly adorable, in fact! Papa is a nap connoisseur himself. Despite being known as a frivolous prince of the Papacy, Papa works hard like the rest of the family. He cherishes any chance he can have a quick power nap, or a lazy afternoon. The man needs his beauty sleep! Like you, he’s also like a cat who will just sleep wherever he can get comfortable. Since you came into his life, this tends to be wherever you’ve holed yourself up to get a couple of winks! You’ve woken up so many times to Papa holding you like a teddy bear while you sleep. The man usually spooning you as you both crowd on his velvet lounge chair. Or on the nearest office couch. Or, Hell, even under a tree when you both separately snuck out into the gardens! You’re also privy to his choice nap spots.

Papa IV/Cardi/Frater: Copia never knows whether to be impressed, annoyed, or find you cute when he catches you napping. Impressed because you’ve fallen asleep in some VERY bizarre spots or positions. Annoyed because you sometimes fall asleep sitting upright or standing, and he carries on a whole conversation with you before he realizes you are conked out. And finding you cute because… well… it’s adorable how you sleep sometimes! He likes you after all. Copia has a few pictures of your coziest moments… and a few of your weirdest. There’s been a few times he’s chased his ghouls away from you because they think it’s hilarious. A few of them usually want pictures (which he denies, despite taking one himself). Copia is most likely to gently wake you up and offer to take you to your bed. He loves your sleepy protests. The only other time he becomes irritated with you is if you commandeer his office chair. Or accidentally trip him from being in the worst spots (yes, this has happened a few times.)

Papa V: Perpetua thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world! Unfortunately for you, this makes you the target of his mischievous nature. Perpetua has a running list AND picture collection of places he’s found you sleeping. At this point, he has over fifty pictures in his phone! There is a running rank of his favorites. Latest top three being: The time you fell asleep mid paperwork with your head on the filing cabinet, standing in the middle of the kitchen with your head lulled back and holding breakfast, and being curled under a table with a plant on it. The youngest Papa also has a horrid propensity to play pranks on you. Really harmless ones, mind you, to see WHAT you will sleep through. Worst of all, you’ve NEVER woken up during them! There exists of you a photo of you napping on the couch while having almost a full box of cheerios stacked and balanced on you.

Hello Clergy!!!! I have been away from Tumblr for some years now and I remember absolutely loving and onjey your National Geographic on ghouls.

And I was wondering if there were more types ghouls in hell like:

○Light ghouls: mostly live in the desert/Sahara plains of hell and they move in tribes like nomads, and they follow the Sun as much as they can.

○Shadow ghouls: live in caves (their kinda like bats), they are nocturnal, they sleep through the day and come out at night to get with their lives, and they can not live without the moon in hell or on earth, (they have runes on their body that glow in the moonlight)

○swamp ghouls are a sub class of earth ghouls, they live in the jungle of hell, their much weaker then earth ghouls and most other too.

(That's all I have, sorry if my English isn't good)

(Your English is perfect, no worries! :) )

Thank you so much!! I always worked really hard on that series, and I'm so happy people still like! <3

I made a huge guide back in the day for the elements and sub elements. It's suuuuuuper obsolete and I desperately need to update it. Thanks to years and years of world building with my partner (and @blacklight-ghoulette, because we write together so often! *waves to Blacklight because I use a lot of our collaborative world building lol*) I actually have a different chart. And it DOES include all the ghoul types you mentioned! :)

Here is the original:

https://www.tumblr.com/ask-the-clergy-bc/184077566873/ghoul-headcanons-elements-sub-types-and-tribes

So here is a very rough updated chart, and how I included and write the ones you mentioned! <3

Note: Terms might be incomplete or nonsensical. I haven't gathered my thoughts yet to do a proper re-write with better vocabulary.

National Geographic on Ghouls

Rough Update on Elements, Sub-elements, and Mixed Type

The Main Elements and their sub-elements. Sub-elements are usually just a specific branch of a single element. Elements encompass different aspects, as you'll find in nature! Subtypes are more rare, but aren't necessarily a new element themselves? They are typically names just given to a select skillet of ghouls that aren't found in main tribes. Then there are mixed types, which is a rare phenomenon where NEW powers are discovered because of an understanding of blending parent elements.

Elements and Sub-elements:

Fire:

~Volcano Ghouls: Live in the lava fields and mountains of Hell. Known to be more aggressive in their fire use.

~Sun Ghouls: The fighters and essentially warrior class of Hell. (Example: Ifrit. Alpha is mixed of both.)

Quintessence:

~Well ghouls (Healer): Pure aether ghouls from the source of Hell's Aether (Hell's Aether Well.) Nomadic, rare, and highly sought after for their healing abilities. (Ex: Omega, Aether)

~Void ghouls: Almost extinct. Live in pocket dimensions and shadows called the 'Void'. They can completely shape shift and change matter. Bend reality. Bend perception. (Ex. Special, Miasma)

~Fortune ghouls: Also Nomadic. Are your seers, future gazers, fortune tellers, and those that can speak to the dead or other realms if powerful enough!

Water:

~Freshwater ghouls = Self explained name as you find these tribes in lakes and rivers. Are less sea-like in appearance and tend to utilize both land and water. (Ex. Rain)

~Ocean Ghouls = Live on Hell's shores and islands. Tends to have bigger teeth and fins. Strongest in salt bodies of water. (Ex. Mist and Tide).

~Deep Sea Ghouls = Normally this would be considered a sub-type, but deep sea ghouls have a completely different biology than their shallow sea counterparts. They hail from ancient ghouls and look the part! Some are literally blind from living in the depths. Their powers don't just extend to control over water or certain weather, they can break land and redirect whole currents! (Ex. Delta/Chain)

Earth

~Stone Ghouls = Ghouls that live in Mountains and work with stone itself. They are actually very tall and hard to take down! (Ex. Mountain)

~Forest Ghouls = Ghouls that have more plant based Earth abilities. They inhabit various types of forests and are known for their fertility. (Ex. Ivy)

~Plains Ghouls = A Mix of plant, stone, and soil powers. Your most commonly thought of when thinking of Earth powers. The most plentiful in Hell. They are the most middle ground of the powers, where as Forest and Stone ghouls tend to be more extreme into one or the other. (Ex. Earth)

Air

This is the one I'm reworking the most and will be fleshing out with my writing partner and @blacklight-ghoulette (So please credit Blacklight, because she let me write my own based on her idea of the four winds! :) )

North wind = Artic like ghouls that live in high mountains. Closest to the ancient bloodlines of ghouls who had their wings. Pretty much just winter gargoyles. They tend to use their powers over their environment and element to use ice attacks. (Ex. Air, Cirrus).

South wind = Known as the storm bringers! While some think they are related to water ghouls (they aren't, funnily enough) they have a huge grasp on changing weather. (Ex. Storm, Stratus)

West Wind = Are the friendliest and more bird-like mannered air ghouls. Have mastered gliding without winds. Very pack oriented. Their powers tend to focus on actual bursts of air. So they, of the four, are considered the actual WIND ghouls. (Ex. Cumulus)

East Wind = (REDACTED) Because I forgot what I wrote down for them. Whoooooops.

Subtypes of Ghouls! Or Ghouls from very specific regions or skillets that don't quality as a complete sub-type of element:

~Swamp Ghouls = Water ghouls that have adapted to swamp environments. They tend to be more Gator like!

~Shadow Ghouls = A strange set of Quintessence ghouls said to hail from a Void bloodline. While they have the mixed abilities of void and fortune ghouls, they are said to dabble more into supernatural abilities than their Fortune forebearers. Some make a habit of working with souls and the dead! (Ex. Phantom)

~ Lake ghouls

~ River ghouls = utilizes travel and exploring other tribes.

Mixed Ghoul Types! Blended of two elements:

~Metal Ghouls = Stone/Fire

~Crystal Ghouls = Stone/Quintessence (they make gems and can use said gems to amplify abilities!)

~Light Ghouls = Fire/Air (Ex. Sunshine) Some of these ghouls can even become "lightning" ghouls. Others use light beams!

~Aurora Ghouls = Quintessence/Air (Ex. Aurora)

~Ice Ghouls = Water/Air (Some Air tribes have an ice power aspect, especially southern wind tribes. But True ice ghouls DO exist.)

~Ash Ghouls = Fire/Forest

One day I'll re-write it up! For now, I hope you like the mini update!

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

I feel so dirty finding Papa Nihil so handsome (mostly because I know Sister would beat my a**😂) but despite how amazing his successors are I've always been drawn to him. I fear I have a problem haha

He’s great and handsome Papa…. Even if he is a bad dad.

This is a safe space, Anon!! ;)

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Hi! Can i request the ministry find a wyvern living close by in a cliff? Thank you!

I think I answered this round about, but it was fun to do!!

Abbeys near a Wyvern Nest

It really depends on WHEN a Wyvern showed up! The Ministry has many different buildings all around the world. Through the centuries they have come across many different mythical beings. It’s no surprise that one Abbey on the coast of Wales should be near a nest!

Wyverns are what we would call a ‘neutral’ species. They aren’t in the “good” and “evil” scheme we would fit the Old One and God’s underlings under. They are simple beasts that live and breathe like any animal. They don’t carry any sentient loyalties the way a werewolf or vampire might! Wyverns can co-exist to a certain degree… if you stay away from their territory.

Which is why WHEN the Abbey was erected plays such a big factor. This wouldn’t be for the beast’s benefit, but for the humans. An Abbey near Wyverns that have been around for centuries is used to keeping the territorial monsters away. A sudden, new Wyvern nest is a HUGE problem.

For an older Abbey, there are two main possibilities. One is that they have lived near the nest territory for so long that humans and beasts don’t bother one another. With the occasional livestock being eaten, of course. That, or the older abbey has air ghouls who can combat a Wyvern. (You definitely want air ghouls, whether they have wings or not.) Ghouls are much more skilled in keeping powerful creatures away!

A newer Abbey will be set on higher alert. Encroaching on beast territory is asking for trouble. The Ministry is not as interested in bothering creatures if it serves no benefit. Which leads to the executive decision of having a new Wyvern nest culled for safety, or having the creatures frightened away by skilled ghouls.

One might be tempted to think that the Ministry wants to tame Wyverns, but that is further from the truth. Wyverns are not easy to domesticate, if at all. They are territorial, aggressive, and have no utilities outside of their parts used for spells. Humans who could use them for spell work are very far and in-between. Ghouls, in theory, could eat hunted ones and use their hides. But it’s reported by air ghouls that Wyvern meat isn’t very tasty.

In either scenario, if a Wyvern clutch isn’t bothering the Abbey- leave it alone!

I’m sorry for my silence because I’m being suplexed by life but:

It’ll be canon for this blog Copia got hit by a truck but he’s totally alive. Just grumpy during recovery. 😂

I’ve been a fan forever and the new chapter just made me nod and laugh. That’s about right lol

maybe i'm insane but i kinda feel like the ghost fandom has a transphobia problem. like why are people so against trans perpetua hcs??? it might just be on ghosttwt, but i find people are so negative abt transmale/masc hcs when it comes to pet. maybe i'm just more aware because i'm transmasc, but seeing that kind of behaviour is very disheartening :(

Friendly reminder that trans headcanons ARE AWESOME!! And if you harass people over it you are an ❤️asshole❤️
