Some comfort thoughts because I am sick and have the soup brain.

Mountain gets his clothes stolen by the entire pack. I mean, he gets it. They're large, warm, comfortable and make the ghouls/ghoulettes feel secure.

Mountain has a subconscious tendency to emit calming aromatherapy-esque scents (think, lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, all that good stuff) when he senses someone he loves is stressed so all of his clothes smell like these calming wonderful things.

So, there's ghouls sneaking into his room to invade his drawers all the time for hoodies, t-shirts, and sweatpants, ect. They don't just wear them, they'll tuck them into their nests because it smells like him and its comforting.

The problem is that right before tours, when there's stress and anxiety in the air from the anticipation of leaving home and the stress of being busy with tour preparations, Mountain sometimes....runs out of clothes. Like...for himself.

One day he walks into the common room after finding his dresser fucking empty and finds his pack in a pile on the floor watching a movie wearing HIS clothing.

Mountain: Guys, I love you but please, I don't even have underwear.

Rain, wearing one of his tshirts: Gosh, Mount, that sounds like a real problem.

Sunny, wearing a pair of his sweatpants rolled up 5million times: Yeah, what Rain said. I hope you figure out what happened to them.

Dew, wearing a sweatshirt so big it could be a nightgown: *looks around* anybody know what happened to all of Mountain's clothes? *snuggles deeper into the hoodie gown*

Copia, wearing a large knitted sweater with leaves and flowers on it: My ghoul, I simply have no idea.

hi ghostblr i’m here to ruin everyone’s day/night because if i have to have miserable thoughts so do you

so y’all know how Aether ran after Terzo when he got dragged offstage

…

he couldn’t save Terzo and now he won’t be there to save Copia either

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!!
