the tats! the bulk! the attitude!! I NEED HIM I NEED HIM I-
biker!simon def sent that video to his girl <33
—
“you filmin’?” johnny asks, hopping out of his bike and ambling towards simon who grunts as he crosses his arms over his chest before subtly flexing.
johnny snorts before angling himself so he can fit in the screen. he shoots the camera a toothy grin, knowing that this one’s going to be sent to you.
“oh? we sendin’ a checkpoint video to peanut?” kyle adds, slipping his helmet off.
johnny shoots him a thumbs up before shifting to give kyle and – he turns to his side and sees john walking towards them with a cig already pinched between his lips – john room to fit themselves in the video.
“who said you guys can be part of this?” simon grumbles as though he isn’t reaching for his phone to retake the video. naturally, no one takes his complaints seriously.
they all fall into poses when simon starts recording, and johnny can’t hold back the appreciative whistle he lets out because, “damn. we look good.”
kyle groans, embarrassed. johnny laughs, ignoring the youngest as he and simon begin to flex – simon doing the subtle ones again while johnny shows off his arms shamelessly.
what? a man’s hard work is worth appreciating.

ghost: [video]
peanut: wow, yes youre all dashing but was someone robbing the bodega behind yall?
ANI. ANI U CANT DO THIS TO ME VNAJXKEKD BECAUSE NOW MY MIND’S A MESS OH MY FUCK
just imagine bikers having their own like bike meet ups (idk dhhh) and konig’s perched on his ducati when he sees simon rolling in on his harley with someone riding behind him.
and everyone’s intrigued because ghost has never attended a meet up with a date. and it doesn’t even have to be a date because he’s never gave anyone a ride on his harley. so konig’s there, trailing curious eyes and watching as ghost pulls up, revving his harley to show off – konig wonders what exactly is ghost showing off? his bike or his date? – before parking beside his usual crew.
ghost’s date is the first one to step off, and konig has to grip his handles to restrain himself from swooning because the leather is hugging their body so fucking perfectly, he’s genuinely breathless.
ghost steps off next, gloved hands working on pulling his helmet off before twisting to help his adorably short date remove their helmet off too. and as soon as your helmet comes off, konig feels winded, the air in his lungs dissipating.
because jesus fucking christ. you’re absolutely beautiful.
sun u should explain the ghost band lore bc i’m interested but no nothing about them
oki oki so ani this might take a while bc i went crazy explaining and it might be too long so uhm find the tl;dr at the end 😭
i swooned when i saw u ask this bc!!! mwah mwah <333 idk it made me so giddy teehee <33 also! this is what i know so far so there might be lapses in my explanation hhh
the band ghost or ghost (or ‘ghost bc’)
- they are are theatrical rock band mostly known for their satirical approach to organized religion (roman catholicism); they have a parody of the ministry (from the papacy down to the clergymen [dubbed as brothers/sisters of sins]). there are criticism that they are satanic and, well, that is their lore.
the current singer is called papa emeritus iv
- papa iv is endearingly called popia because before being papa, he was known as cardinal copia. he succeeded the previous three papa emeritus (primo, secondo, terzo) after the three have been killed. he also inherited the ghouls (specifically terzo’s ghouls).
- primo, secondo, terzo, copia are all acted by the same guy (tobias forge)! the lore is that they’re all brothers, fathered by papa nihil, but that copia wasn’t recognized as his son until later on when the three papas were killed. the ones who organized the deaths of the previous papas is sister imperator, copia’s mom.
- the papas, in order: primo, secondo, terzo, copia (cardinal), copia (papa)
nameless ghouls
- they are the people that tobias forge (papa) hires to play live! theyre not a concrete band since these instrumentalists could be/had been replaceable :((
- when ghost debuted, there were only four ghouls: fire, water, earth, quintessence. these titles are reflections of the instruments they play! fire (lead guitar). water (bass guitar). earth (drums). quintessence (rhythm guitar). later a keyboard instrumentalist was added and they were dubbed as the air ghoul.
- as the band grew more popular and more instrumentalists came and went, the fans began naming them. at the top of my head; notable old members include: alpha (fire). omega (quintessence). mist (water). ifrit (fire). zephyr (air).
- i think it was in 2019 when the ghouls were established and no one left (until, that is, june 2023). they were: dewdrop (fire; previously water so he replaced ifrit as lead guitarist). rain (water; bass guitar). aether (quintessence; rhythm guitar). mountain (earth; drums). swiss (multi ghoul - means he is a backup vocals, acoustic guitarist, tambourine). cumulus (air; keyboard and backup vocals). cirrus (air - keyboard and keystar). sunshine (multi; backup vocals).
- nameless ghouls as of july 2023: dewdrop (fire). rain (water). phantom (quintessence - he replaced aether). mountain (earth). swiss (multi). cumulus (air). cirrus (air). aurora (multi - she replaced sunshine).
- fave: nameless ghouls aren’t all just men!! cirrus, cumulus, sunshine, and aurora are ghoulettes
- i finally know who is who when they don’t have their instruments 😭
- they all wear the same thing for anonymity, although fans know who they are unmasked!
other fun info
- a ghost concert is called ‘ritual’
- they have this episodes (??) of more lore called ‘chapters’
- there are talks that copia will be replaced by a new papa but copia’s goodbye had been too quiet and peaceful so fans speculate that tobias forge is gonna do smthn else?
- papa nihil plays the saxophone!
tl;dr - tobias forge is a huge fucking nerd who made a whole satanic ministry and band for flare!
