hii :) do you have any headcanon treats abt the earth ghouls ? general hcs , relationships woth other ghouls/papas , anything would be cool !!
i am quite fond of earth ghouls and i think they are underrepresented in the fandom (as drummers usually are, to be fair) so i am elated to write this for you anon!!!
here are some tidbits about each earth ghoul individually :) if you need a guide for which ghouls are which, here's my very handy ghoul dictionary!
coming in at a whopping 7'3, mountain is the tallest of all the earth ghouls! though his lankiness and sweet disposition makes up for most of the intimidation one may feel when interacting with him.
he's genuinely well liked by all of the ghouls! of course, there's a very strong bond throughout the era IV-V ghoul lineup, but you could say he's the glue holding them together.
they often come to him for cuddle piles cause he's warm and fuzzy. it's not usually intentional - one ghoul will end up snuggling with him, and then another, and then... he's buried under at least 9 other ghouls.
when he and copia first met, he could tell copia was petrified of him! so he always tried to be as kind as possible. eventually the cardinal grew to appreciate him for his determination, though those big teeth will always throw him off a little.
speaking of teeth, he has a big smile :)
diatomite is a pretty work oriented ghoul, but not to the point where he stresses out about it. he doesn't care THAT much.
...but he also doesn't care that much about his "coworkers" either. he was in the band for a little bit before he realized it was honestly... kind of annoying to be on stage like that.
he did make some friends: him and chair get along well. otherwise, he was okay with not intruding on the relationships that had already been formed.
he also didn't really get to know terzo very well, but a little part of him is glad. the man is a bit too exuberant for his taste.
he's happy to do work at the clergy! he really likes arithmetics.
pebble is, of course, the shortest of the earth ghouls. he fabricates his height often, but he's really 5' tall. poor guy.
his relationship with the other ghouls was always a little rocky. he got picked on a lot (alpha always said it was "funny" when he got angry), but at the end of the day, they were his friends! he thinks. right?
one time he was lifted in the air by his ankles by a specific asshole-ish fire ghoul and he thought he was gonna die.
pebble is unique in that he spent time with both secondo and terzo when he was on stage. if you asked him who he preferred, he'd say secondo... but that's cause he's too scared of him to say otherwise. :'(
he's got a few battle scars from his time in hell, before he was summoned! he's missing a tooth and there's a chunk taken out of the tip of his tail.
pangea is... well, he's secluded, let's go with that.
as a result, he has virtually no relationship with any other ghouls. he did not care for his bandmates, he does not care for the new ghouls being summoned for the band. he deliberately has separated himself from them.
the only thing he ever cared about was working for primo. he admired primo. a lot. in a normal way. yes.
when secondo took primo's place as frontman of the band, he did try to stay for a bit, just to spread the word of the almighty deceiver. but he really disliked secondo, actually. his foolishness and poor work ethic pissed him off to no end. so he went back to the clergy!
anyways, he's really big and also soft and has a deep deep voice and i like him <3
