Sexual Tension Is Out, Platonic Tension Is In. I Need Enemies Who Have Fought Each Other So Many Times

I've been wanting to do this post for a while now so here is EVERYTHING I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THE GHOULS' IMPERA COSTUMES.

Buckle up because I have a LOT to say about those, this is gonna be a very long one.

The costumes were designed by B Åkerlund, a Swedish costume designer who's worked with Ghost since at least Meliora (that's as far back as I was willing to scroll on her Instagram page lol). B Åkerlund has also worked for many other musical artists such as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osborne, Blink 182 and Hollywood Undead (information from her own website)

The masks were made by Bob Basset, a visual artists who works a lot with leather. I find his work fascinating, you can look him up on Instagram (nsfw warning, there's a few naked ladies).

Fun fact! The horns are real cow horns. That's the reason some of them have gold tips, to hide the imperfections that come with working with actual horns.

He does have a shop where he sells his items, there's a mask there very similar to the Impera ones. You can also buy Papa's batwings if you happen to have 2500$ lying around!

The jackets are made on the same model as one of Papa's. The back is decorated with a spine-like design made from leather and cording. It's adorned with a few of our classic Impera buttons. Some of the hems were left raw and some deliberate weathering was done to make it look old and worn.

Fun fact! The shoulder pieces are not sewn into the garment, I would assume for easier cleaning. I don't know if they're held by strong magnets or snap buttons.

The vest (my beloved 😩) is made from flocked velvet in a paisley pattern. It closes in the front with custom metal clasps that are riveted into the garment. The D parts are attached with what seems to me like wide elastic, which would lessen the pression on the clasps when moving around a lot. The back is made from two different types of fabric, I'd have to touch it to be able to tell you what they are. I assume the panels closer to the sides have some mild stretch to them. The top of the shoulders are decorated with Impera grucifix patches.

The shirts were not custom made for the ghouls, altho they were altered. The original shirt in the vintage painter linen shirt from Punk Rave and it is still being sold. Some of the cuffs were altered, removing the ruffles for some of the ghouls, but not all. They were removed for Dew, Mountain and Phantom, Aether's didn't have them either. As far as I can tell, all the ghoulettes still have them.

An unfinished piece of linen serves as an ascot, that piece is decorated with a metal devil skull. The colour of the skull doesn't appear to be consistent between each ghoul, Dew's looks gold almost bronze while Phantom's is a silver-like colour.

Another modification is the buttons, a small portion of them were removed in favor of our Impera buttons. Some of the ghouls have more buttons replaced than others, which is still a mystery to me.

The pants are called Jodhpurs, they were invented in the 1800s as horse riding pants. The wide part at the hips and thighs allowing for better movement. The ones the ghouls wear don't reach all the way to their ankles, they stop a bit past the calf muscle, hidden by the boots. (Yes, the ghouls are effectively wearing capri pants)

The boots are motorcycle riding boots, decorated by a grucifix. Like the shirt, they can still be bought online through the All American Boots website, altho the price tag is... Headache inducing to say the least.

The cape is a piece of costume that was only briefly worn on stage by the ghouls, Aurora being the only one who still wears one. I would assume it gets in the way of playing very easily. The cape itself is made of two fabrics, a light blue satin and a dark grey suede. The two pieces are not sewn together at the bottom, they move freely from each other. The cape is attached on the left shoulder with a harness piece that has one strap across the chest, decorated with a metal buckle, and one under the armpit.

Aight that's it for me, have a nice day byyyyye!!

I’ve been reading so much Ineffable Husbands fanfic on AO3 lately I thought it was time to put this bad boy together. Hope you can find something entertaining/relatable here XD

Mando teaching us how to adopt a child in episode 3

I’ve been seeing a lot of people comparing Kylo Ren and Darth Revan, mostly because of shipping Kylo Ren with Rey like Revan is shipped with Revan and Bastila. Mostly cus Kylo and Rey are white and people like to imagine Revan as white. Revan and Kylo are the furthest things from each other and For all you new canon fans who know nothing about Revan or legends canon, buckle your fucking seatbelts kids

The Differences:

Revan has no canon gender in the games.

Revan at a young age was considered a prodigy. I mean the best. The absolute best at everything. Seriously: Racing, Force powers, Charismatic, great leader, yet this made them too confident in their abilities where they felt like he knew better then the Jedi. Revan had no known family or loved when while with the Order.

Kylo Ren is a powerful dark side user, but his power is unstable and the only force users we’ve seen him fight, he’s lost to every time: Snoke, Rey, and Luke. Finn even had him on the ropes. He was raised in a loving home and came from a very privileged and powerful family.

Revan went against the wills of the Jedi and went to war with the Mandalorians, a culture of warriors who were destroying the Galaxy. When Revan found out that the Sith were actually responsible for the war they left to finish them off but was tortured to the dark side.

As far as we know Kylo Ren joined the dark side cause he was already falling to it and felt that Luke betrayed him after Luke thought about killing him…Gods I hate TLJ

Revan became the biggest threat to the galaxy with their apprentice Malak, yet after Malak betrays him, Revan is captured by the Jedi and is brainwashed by the Jedi to think they are a good person. Good Revan fights with the Jedi till they remembers that their actually Darth Revan, they chooses to remain on the side of the Jedi, fights Malak, Redeema the fallen Bastila, offers their old friend and appreciate Malak redemption, Who refuses, then goes off to save the Galaxy.

Kylo is in full control of his actions and kills people in cold blood, like defenseless family members. Every chance at redemption he rejects and by the last movie he has become the Big Bad himself.

Revan was one of the strongest Jedi/Sith of their time and ever. They created their own legacy and fell to the dark side for noble reasons and at the first chance of redemption, they took it. Kylo Ren is not Revan…not even close. His wardrobe resembles Revan’s but that is only cus Revan based their Sith outfit on…the Sith.

This is another stupid ass parallel I’ve noticed that only exists for aesthetic reasons. Bastila and Rey are both white, British, and they use staff weapons…yup exactly alike!

Bastila wss born and raised with the Jedi. Very knowledgeable of other words and a skilled Jedi through decades of training. Bastila though is very repressed in her emotions, jealous of her lack of natural abilities, yet firmly believes in the Jedi and fights the Sith. Her talents are mostly that of a Jedi

Rey as of now is a nobody bullshit and has no connections to the Jedi and is just natural and everything from piloting to force combat and lightsaber combat. Her knowledge is limited due to her lack of education, yet she is very clever. She has a very good grasp on her emotions.

Bastila is captured and mentally tortured till she joins the dark side and only goes back to the light when Revan redeems her.

Rey is captured and mentally tortured twice yet doesn’t fall to the dark side st either times and continues to be her own hero.

Rey and Bastila are barely alike beyond looks. White and British with a staff. If anything, Rey is more like Revan.

Kylo Ren is more like Malak.

they are so so important to me

you've been daddied

I don't know if this panel will be kept because it's just an expression test, but I'm saving every Obito I fear I might scrap here, so they don't just disappear.

(please ignore Kakashi he's not quite himself right now)
