Ghoul Ranks

we all excited for tonight :P

I would totally read it

au idea: baby Revan gets picked up by Mandalorians. He’s never found by the Jedi bc Clan Whatever is running around the outer rim and never runs into Kae. Somehow he still ends up discovering his powers and sort-of teaches himself how to control them. Mand’alore appoints him head strategist during the Mandalorian Wars. 

exactly how kriffed is the republic?

#enjoy the ride i do

@deadcatwithaflamethrower​ I was just linked this and I felt you needed to see it. I cannot stop laughing and I’m wheezing from the effort of trying to stop.

PHANTOM OH MY GOD BABY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

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!!

From the villain transition to the hero transition

Veeroa has some interesting ambient banter.  FWIW I think this is completely the case. I’d imagine that Sith can even figure out if they had the same overseers and trainers on Korriban by the subtle ways they react to things (Lana not being sure of herself very much in SoR was a dead giveaway that she’d suffered with Harkun, for instance).  And as for physical scars, absolutely. I headcanon that they see a scar or a pattern of marks on another Sith and nod sagely because they can tell that it’s clearly a Klor’slug bite or a warblade slash or that very peculiar burn one gets from mishandling Dark Side artifacts.  Caption:  Veeroa Denz: The Sith here recognize my scars. They know the marks of Korriban. 

Honestly, I kind of want to see Maul saying "I told you so" to Ahsoka when clones attack them.

Because that would do something a little good to my shattered heart. I'm so not ready for tommorow's episode :___:
