bring back my ghouls

[ghoulfuckersincorporated]

first off i just wanted to say i lovelovelove your work sm. the way you're able to pick apart the ghouls to their base components and expound on them is so fantastic. i've never read something from you and thought it seemed ooc or too much of a stretch. you're so dialed in to all of them! that said, i would really love to see you talk about the lady ghouls more! they're such an untapped fount of ghoul enjoyer delights, especially ladies like Beatrix.

which of them do you have solid headcanons for, if any? and would you perhaps mind sharing those headcanons with the class? 👀 👀 👀

I've talked about Bea the most when it comes to the ladies, for sure, but I've developed a fuller vision of many of the other female ghouls over time. Enjoy a little sampler.

Bessie Lynn

Strikes me as a big reader, but someone who absolutely loves trash. Old gossip magazines and overly sappy/smutty romance novels, especially. She doesn't care what you think about it. Would love to talk about them with you. Uses mentioning she's reading something sexy as a way to flirt.

Happiest when she can keep herself pretty. There are a lot of things she dislikes about living in the sewer, but one of the primary ones is the lack of even the rudimentary bathroom and laundry facilities many people still have access to. Likes a regular wash for both herself and her clothes, something she can't always have. Noticeably down when she's dirty.

Very into old-school romantic gestures, especially the soft, poetic kind. Write her a love letter and she'll be absolutely obsessed with you. Would enjoy a good serenade, even if you can't sing. Likes that same softness and romance translated into the bedroom. Not really into anything rough or especially kinky most of the time.

BONUS: I feel like she's a squirter under the right conditions, but she's really embarrassed by it. I think it would be cute to make her do so and then talk her down.

Carol

Has a tendency to "mommy" her partners, sometimes to the detriment of the relationship. If she loves someone, she wants to see the best in them and do all she can for them. You might find it a bit suffocating or absolutely eat it up, depending on who you are.

Prefers topping to bottoming, but she's flexible depending on the partner she's with. Likes the control of the situation she feels she has when she tops, but over time she's learned that she can also "top from the bottom". That suits her fine, too.

Really enjoys a nice, long cuddle session after sex. Not a big sleeper, but she'll stay in bed with you all night if it means the two of you get to hold one another the way she likes. Big spoon, but prefers when you face one another or when you lay on her chest.

Greta

Very much the possessive sort, which can often cause problems in her relationships despite her generally having her partner's best interest at heart. Has sort of "tunnel vision" when it comes to love, and doesn't like to share her favorite person (even with their children). That possessiveness can apply to friends and/or colleagues if she's known them long enough, but to a lesser degree.

Bossy in bed. Wouldn't necessarily call herself a "dom" or anything, but she likes to at least feel like she has the majority of the control during sex (less about the control itself and more about the security she feels when she thinks she's in the driver's seat).

That same possessive urge often rears its head when she's alone with you, so she's very keen on leaving her partner marked up, whether that be by covering them in scratch marks or giving them a really visible hickies.

Tulip

Also a big reader of romance books, but she's much less open about it. Will just die of embarrassment if you catch her reading something that's even vaguely sexy. Teasing her about it can be a bit of a double-edged sword, because she'll pull away out of embarrassment at first, but there comes a point where she sort of gets over it and her mindset becomes more "So...what do you think?".

Very shy at first as a lover, but once she opens up, she can be pretty adventurous. A good partner to explore weirder kinks with as long as you're careful with how you bring them up.

Scratcher. Will claw you up to the point of bleeding (and be totally embarrassed about it) if you get her going enough, just from trying to cling to you as tight as possible. You might have to wear a shirt if you've got a real issue with it, because you're gonna have a hard time getting her to not cling to you/claw at you, especially if you're on top of her. Maybe try restricting her hands.

Willow

Very vigorous sex drive, but she treats sex like it's not really a big deal when she's comfortable. Can be very silly in bed, but she does a good job of putting you at-ease by not taking anything too seriously.

Likes to wrestle around and generally be pretty playfully physical with a partner, so she's pretty keen on horseplay that turns to foreplay. Might let you slap her around a little...if she can slap you back, that is.

Big into lingerie and other forms of dressing up nicely to draw her attention. If she's mad at you for something you did, getting dolled up all sexy for her is one of your get-out-of-jail-free cards.

Calamity

Don't plan on having a long-term relationship with her. Much like I've talked about with Harland, I see her as someone who's experienced too much loss throughout her long life to let herself keep getting too close to people. She still makes friends and has colleagues, hookups, but she keeps them all at arm's length so it hurts less when she loses them or never sees them again.

Not super adventurous. Sure, she's willing to do what you enjoy in order to get you off, but when it comes to her, she knows what she likes and what works for her, and that's what she wants. Not afraid to give very clear direction and feedback.

Won't sleep with you more than a few times, as she's always trying to keep feelings from developing. If they do, she might consider dating you, but not very seriously, and there would have to be a very strong connection there. If she takes the commitment plunge, though, good luck keeping her off of you. I mean, that's basically what you're there for.

Keely

Hasn't had a romantic relationship in a long time, and a sexual one in even longer. Would take quite a bit of time and effort to get her to warm up to you. She's generally more of a loner and always has been. Would have to feel a near soulmate-level connection to be willing to put up with all the drama and work a relationship can be.

Stone top. Once she feels close to you, she does want you sexually, but she's more interested in making you feel good than really getting anything out of it for herself, at least physically.

Very methodical in her approach to sex. She'll have you in bed for hours, slowly exploring every inch of you so that she can have a running list of what makes you feel good, which spots you like touched the most. Even once she knows your body, she likes to take the slow route.

Bobbi No-Nose

Not really the type to get into especially deep or intimate relationships, nor is she the type to hook up that often. I don't see her as ace, necessarily, but more as someone who just doesn't have an especially active sex drive. She has things that turn her on, things she likes, but more often than not she'll choose making money or planning how to make money over sex.

Will manipulate you with sex if she can, so try not to get hooked on just how good she is at giving head. Is she enthusiastic? Not often, no. But she has the skill to make up for it, which surprises you.

Another stone top. The idea of Bobbi ever being in less than total control during sex is laughable, and she strikes me as the type to think you can only be in control by topping. Likely also a mean top, at least most of the time.

Dierdre

Refuses to remove her wig during sex and gets really upset if it happens to fall off. Could do with a big helping of reassurance that she doesn't need it to be attractive. Would really love a scalp massage if you could get her vulnerable enough with you.

Can be kind of a pillow princess at times, but it's more because she just sort of loses herself and melts in place when she's feeling good. Once she's gotten hers, she's usually pretty eager to sort you out, too…you know, as long as she's still awake.

Enjoys cuddling and snuggling, but only in small bursts. Her tolerance for physical contact is at its peak when she's her horniest. Generally more the kind of person who needs a set amount of personal space, even if she really likes you and wants you around.

Holly

Really, really likes her hair played with, but you have to be careful with how you do it, since she's really paranoid about losing it. Will love it if you offer to brush, de-tangle, or wash it for her. Makes her very amorous. Do not pull; she will not be excited by that.

Very enthusiastic as a sexual partner. Extra eager to impress, as she absolutely thrives off of the positive feedback she gets when she does a good job. Massive praise kink, much more on the receiving side than the giving side. Still gives pretty sweet compliments.

Extra orgasmic, which makes it super easy to overstimulate her, even without trying. Her whole body is still quite sensitive to the touch, at least in most of her erogenous zones, and it makes setting her up to cum until she cries temptingly easy.

The latest sketches of mine

BTW I FINALLY FOUND OUT HOW TO THROW GRENADES IN FO4

[ghoulfuckersincorporated]

You mentioned ghoul scent markings-- can you elaborate on that? Explain it and dump any other thoughts you have about it?

So, I feel like ghoulification would heighten all of the senses (*within the confines of what tissues can remain intact over long spans of time, like centuries; we see older ghouls, especially, with things like cataracts, etc. that would would obviously impact your perception), but the sense of smell especially. Smell is widely considered to be the "weakest" of the human senses, but if you were constantly regenerating the smell receptors that are physically closest to your brain, along with having basically one massive nostril, I'd think you'd at least smell SOMEWHAT more effectively.

I've seen people assume that, as ghouls eventually lose their noses to decay, they have no sense of smell, and (absolutely no disrespect or anything) I find that sort of funny. The olfactory sense ultimately originates in the brain, like any other sense, and the smell receptors that pick up on odors are not only found in the cartilaginous parts of the nose AKA the part that would rot off.

Scent memory is also one of the strongest kinds of memory, as the olfactory bulb that processes smells is located very close to the amygdala and the hippocampus, the memory centers of your brain. For this reason, I think that many ghouls, but particularly ferals, would be incredibly sensitive to smells, even if their particular "nose" is weak from decay. I'd imagine that ferals, as they slip further and further into the sort of aggressive, rotting dementia state we see them in, would still be able to connect with some human memories through smells. I think this may be one of the things that draws them to people so easily, even when you're trying to sneak past them.

Imagine moldering away for years and years, rational and conscious thought basically lost to you, and then, for just a breath, you smell a long-lost loved one's perfume, a favorite food you haven't tasted in decades, a fresh rain after a long, long dry spell. Just for a moment...you can remember.

All that to say that I think smell would be a very big deal for ghouls. Especially the smell of people they care about. One day, the memory of that smell may be quite literally all they have left.

I'm not sure most of them would be conscious of the fact that it's scent marking, but it wouldn't be uncommon to find ghoul lovers (ghouls who are lovers AND those who love ghouls) swapping clothing, reveling in their partner's smell enveloping them and vice versa. Taking their lover around other ghouls and knowing that the fact that the others can smell them all over you means they know you're theirs. Ghouls smelling another ghoul on you and knowing all your business without you even having to say anything.

(Plus...it's just a fun excuse to not have to pull out, you know?)

some lady ghoul appreciation!! yes!! i’m a huge daisy fan and there’s like NO stuff for her let alone much of any of our femmes.. i’d love to know your headcanons about their preferred types of intimacy!! who’d prefer to love up on you , who’s more of a ‘parallel play’ type- those sorts of things if that makes any sense aheh,, thank you so much!!

I'm really looking forward to doing more content for the ladies this year. Pretty much all of them need more love and attention, and I'm excited to refine my versions of them.

Ranking (Lady) Ghouls' Preferred Types of Non-Sexual Intimacy

Spending active time together (running errands, traveling the road, running a business together, working on something as a team). Carol, Bobbi No-Nose, Dierdre

"Parallel play" (doing separate tasks in the same space and enjoying one another's company). Greta, Keely (though it ties with intellectual intimacy; she doesn't want one without the other), Daisy

Intellectual intimacy (deep talks, stimulating/jaunty conversation, inside jokes, love letters). Moira Brown, Tulip, Nurse Graves, Calamity, Trish

Non-sexual physical intimacy (cuddling, horseplay, soft kisses, giving/receiving massages, etc.). Bessie Lynn, Willow, Beatrix Russell, Holly

[ghoulfuckersincorporated]

In honor of mothers day, how good are the lady ghouls at being moms? Daisy is the best obviously do not at me (sillies)

Cool, lady ghoul question! I've been absolutely slammed busy the past few days, so I'm more than happy for a question I can answer nice and easy. For my own enjoyment, I included Moira; though I have no plans to blow up Megaton (permanently, at least), I just really like the idea of her as a ghoul.

Happy belated Mother's Day to all my mom followers!

Ranking Ghouls by Motherhood Ability

Best Mom Ever, such a good mom that it makes you feel insecure about your own parenting skills: Carol, Moira, Tulip

A Very Good Mom, tries hard but occasionally makes mistakes: Bessie Lynn (occasionally suffers from "pick-me mother" syndrome, particularly if she has any daughters), Willow, Rose MacLean

Emotionally Distant, But Loving: Nurse Graves (unintentional workaholic, gets caught up in research ventures), Keely (can occasionally be cold and default towards "logic" rather than emotional intelligence)

Well-Meaning, Makes Terrible Choices: Calamity (she "gets bored" and changes her entire identity every decade or so; would definitely grow to resent the restrictions of parenthood), Trish (the general chaos of children gives her insane anxiety), Dierdre (can prioritize dating over parenthood, also a workaholic)

Physically Present, But That's About It: Greta (she's pretty well shown her hand that she will be jealous of a child if she feels the child receives more love/attention from her partner than she does), Holly (lives life in "hot girl summer" mode, doesn't exactly take motherhood seriously)

Best Mom Ever*** (only if the child turns out to be special/talented/useful to them and not for a moment longer): Bobbi No-Nose

Straight Up Deadbeat: Beatrix Russell (there's no way in hell this woman would ever have a child, and if she did, she'd leave them at the fire station)

[ghoulfuckersincorporated]

I thought the ladies could use a ranking list of their own to follow up the one the guys got here. I've left Miss Jeanette off on purpose, as it feels wrong to discuss her sexually, given her obvious mental distress the entire time you interact with her. I also left the Wastelander from Fallout 3 off, since you cannot speak to her and most everything the game tells you about her is actually about her research.

Ranking Female Ghouls' Favorite Body Part (Partner)

Tits: Carol, Beatrix Russell, Bobbi No-Nose, Trish

Ass: Nurse Graves, Greta, Keely, Carol Peabody, Daisy (also likes a nice back), Dierdre

Thighs: Calamity (smoosh her head, please)

Other: Bessie Lynn (shoulders/back), Tulip (muscles, arms especially), Willow (eyes), Holly (muscles, also likes eyes)
