For anyone who wants one tattooed: you can, of course. Send me a pic of how it turns out tho, I’d love to see it. And if you want to pay for it, you can donate to a charity of your choosing.
The older ghouls of the past papas gathered in the ministry. They all sat in front of a big screen, watching the movie. Watching their hard work and efforts. Watching the new ghouls, their friends pack up on the big screen. Reminiscing about their days on stage. There are no harsh feelings, though. Only tears of joy. They are so proud of them. They are so proud of how far the band has come. They all dog-pile the current ghouls as soon as they see them next, smothering them in adoration and praise.
Im so mushy thinking about the older ghouls seeing the movie and reminiscing with the new ghouls🥺
I stitched all these together for two reasons. 1. Bass Dew my angel 2. In binging on era 3.5 footage as one does, I noticed him always running up to Zeph during his little solo in Cirice and it’s real cute. So here it is. 4 times.

Usually the ghouls spend Halloween inside the ministry going “trick or treating” by going door to door with the siblings of sin. But the needy ghoul has been shown in too many Halloween movies and has been begging to do it for real, like humans do.
And he begged and begged until he was ready to give up and throw in the towel.
Currently, it was early morning, and the ghouls were nestled up together on the couch after breakfast was finished. They were watching some cute kid’s Halloween movie that someone popped on when they were in the den. A few ears twitched as footsteps approached, but no one moved to look as they were far too engrossed in this movie.
Copia leaned up on the back of the couch, resting his arms on the ledge. “Good morning, my ghouls,” he said softly so as not to spook the still sleepy ghouls.
The girls looked over and let out sweet, happy trills of excitement to see their papa so early in the day. The others had a more groggy good morning back as they tried to yawn away the sleep still clouding their minds. All except Phantom, who sat cross-legged on the floor, a soft pout playing on his lips as he knew what day it was and he knew Copia had come to give them the final verdict on Halloween. Copia crept around the couch to kneel down next to the phantom. Phantom glanced over. Good morning, papa,” he mumbled softly, not wanting to be rude, but disappointment played in his voice.
Copia cupped his face lightly. “What’s wrong, phantom? Aren’t you excited to go trick or treating tonight?” Copia smiles softly as he reveals that they have been given permission. Phantom sits there frozen for a moment before looking up at him with huge eyes, trying to gauge if he was being serious. Papa gave him a small nod and a smile to reassure the young ghoul. Phantom squeeled and pounced on Papa, pulling him into a tight hug that sent them both tumbling to the floor.
“Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He trilled and purred, nuzzling up to his tail, wagging much the same as a happy kit. Copia chuckled softly, rubbing his back. “You’re welcome, my little bug.” He slowly sat up, letting Phantom sit still in his lap.
“It took a lot of convincing, but I got her to agree, even if it came with a few conditions. So all of you listen up because you must be on your best behavior tonight, alright?” They all nod and give him their attention.
“You have to stay close; no wondering off, no picking fights, no fighting each other. If you choose to unglamor parts of yourself, make sure it’s one that humans can replicate, such as ears, eyes, fangs, and such. And lastly, we will be leaving here at 6 and driving to a local neighborhood, where we will trick and treat for 4 hours. Sound good?” Copia smiled as he laid down the ground rules for tonight.
They all exchanged looks of agreement and excitement. “I shall come to get you at 6, so make sure you’re all ready and dressed up,” he smiled, sitting phantom down on the couch with the rest of the ghouls. Phantom smiled, excitement rolling off him in waves. Copia softly kissed his head before departing.
As soon as Copia left, the room erupted in excited cheers and celebration.
“Who knew we just needed the charm of this cutie to finally go out? We’ve been trying for years!"Cirrus squealed the mushing phantoms face in her hands, giggling and cooing at him.
All the ghouls were entirely restless until six, just wanting time to move faster; their excitement made it impossible to wait that long.
Around 5, the ghouls ran to their rooms to get ready in their costumes that had been planned and prepared months in advance.
Phantom had struggled a bit to pick a costume; he had so many ideas that he had to pick just one. He wanted to make it perfect, so he had the others help him out. And they decided the best was to do Dracula, as it combines bats and a famous horror movie. The girls helped him add bat wings to the sleeves to make him feel more bat-like. He put on a tiny bit of makeup, like the girls showed him. He added black lightly around his eyes and used pale, pale makeup on his face. He unglamoured his fangs so he looked more like a vampire, and lastly, he slicked back his hair to make him look all fancy.
Aurora dragged Swiss to her room to get ready. Swiss had whined and protested the whole time, but really he was excited to match with her. She had recently seen that new Barbie movie and was obsessed with it, so she decided this was what they needed to do. They decided on the matching cowboy outfit because Aurora thought they were the cutest. So they got all dolled up in their costumes, super excited Swiss doing a horrible job hiding it. Aurora sat in her mirror, doing her makeup and putting on cute earrings. She rummages through her things till she finds her pink nail polish. She delicately paints her long nails with the quick-dry polish, as she has no time to waste with it having to dry. After that, she had Swiss help her put her boots on while she finished up. Swiss did so happily and put on his own matching pair after. After they were finished getting dressed, Aurora took just about a million photos of them.
Cumulus and Cirrus had gone a similar route as Aurora. They also watched the Barbie movie and decided to wear something from it, and Cirrus decided on the cute workout outfits. It was Cirrus’s idea, as she really just wanted to see Cumulus in a tight little body suit all night. And Cirrus opted to be Ken for the night, so they’d match and be super cute. They did each other's makeup, putting on bright neon makeup to match their costumes. Cumulus sat at the vanity as Cirrus helped brush her hair up into a slick, high ponytail. After she put the visor on over it, Cumulus turned to look at her, smiling. “How do I look?” Cirrus only squealed and covered her face in kisses. So cute! e! Cumulus giggled, hugging her.
The mountain was ready. He’d been working very, very hard on his costume for weeks. He was going as a deer, and he couldn’t be more excited. He had built realistic-looking deer legs to go over his own legs like pants. They had hooves and a little tail for the full work. For his top half, he opted for a fur jacket with a black shirt underneath. He let his horns show, as they were already very similar to deer. He sat down to do his makeup. He drew on a cute deer nose and used eyeliner to make his eyes more doe-like. Once satisfied, he admired his work and went to the den to wait.
Lastly, dew and rain Rain wanted them to match, but a few were stubborn. So while Rain was getting all pretty in their mermaid costume, Dew was busy pouting and working on his costume. He found a way to make the costume more fun for himself and made a fake fishing pole, attached a safety pin to the end, and went over and hooked it to Rain's leggings. ”I caught you,” he chuckled, thinking he was so clever. Rain glanced back to his pants, then to Dew, and let out an amused giggle, not realizing how much of a pain in the ass Dew was going to be all night with it. Rain ignored it for now and went back to putting on his makeup. Beautiful shimmering blues and greens covered his eyes and cheeks as he spread the thin glitter over them. He looks back at Dew. Does this look good?"He nervously wrung his hands together; he’d never done his own makeup before and was worried. You look beautiful as ever,” he kissed him softly. “Let’s grab one of the girls, though, because you know I can’t do hair like they can,” he smiled, leading Rain to the girls room to finish up the look.
Once all the ghouls had finished getting ready in their costumes, they met back up in the den to wait for Copia.
At six, Copia arrived in the den in a very silly rat onesie, as he didn’t want to be cold all night.
Copia loaded up the ghouls into the car and drove them to a nearby neighborhood where they would be trick-or-treating for the next few hours.
Phantom was the most excited, bouncing on his toes and running up to the houses excitedly and impatiently, waiting for the others to catch up with him.
Soon, the four hours wore down. After many houses, many compliments on their costumes, and a few pictures, they tiredly walked back to the car, hitting a few more houses on the way back, their bags weighting heavily in their arms as they were heavily filled with all sorts of candy they'd never had before. The drive-back was quiet but filled with tiny pieces of content.
Once they arrived back at the ministry, they invited Copia back to their den to trade candy and settle down. Before they got there, they all went to their rooms to change into their most comfy Halloween pajamas and take off their makeup.
They made their way back to the den and waited on copia before spilling out their candy onto the floor. They happily traded and swapped candy to get ones they really liked. They put everything in their proper candy bags once they were done and crawled up onto the couch to begin a movie. Everyone snuggled up sweetly, purring contently, as a Halloween movie played in front of them. Their eyes became droopy as the night began to wind down. They all fell asleep curled up with each other entangled in one another’s arms, legs, and tails.
