Another Ghoul

I haven't been on tumblr since before the p0rn purge help I don't remember how this site functions this is weeeiiird XD

Hello! Welcome! You somehow found this page! Great!

I'm just Another Ghoul waltzing into the Ghost fandom, this is mainly what this blog is gonna be about (with some Sleep Token, Gaerea, metal music, and general kinkiness sprinkled about). I'm here to simp and thirst over the ghouls and Papas like the rest of us.

I write stuff! Specifically, I write queer stuff. And kinky stuff. If that tickles your fancy the way Papa tickles taints and you wanna take a look at my work, my ao3's right here. I plan to ride my Ghost hyperfixation as long as I can, and if one day I'm done writing I'll still be around to admire other artists' incredible work. This fandom is so talented guys, wtf. I'm floored every day.

If you like the way I write, feel free to leave prompts or requests, I'd be thrilled to see if something inspires me! Comments, requests and back and forth fangirling are my life blood.

Thanks for being here and taking the time to read! Have a good one!

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to ask the question! :)

I'm gonna come out of blog retirement for this one answer, doesn't mean I'm back yet but this ask felt important. Please do not repost or share my content outside of tumblr unless I have myself made the post on this other platform. I wrote that Sleep Token primer post for a fandom friend who asked. My post blew up outside of our smaller sphere alongside the band itself blowing up. And while I am comfortable with this post of mine circulating around tumblr in our relatively contained fandom space, I am not comfortable with it being spread outside of it. I read the Sleep Token reddit too, if I wanted my content to be on there, I'd have posted it there myself.

If you read my post, gathered information for yourself, and have any understanding of Sleep Token and its lore, I encourage you to write your own reddit post, in your own words, to share the information you've learned. You may use my writing as inspiration for your own reddit post, but I do not consent for my words to be used, shared, copied, linked or reposted on reddit in any way.

I have decided that the stars are in alignment for me to try and get into Sleep Token. I mean, I say "try to get into them", I know I'm gonna love them.

The point is. I know you did a ST primer a while ago, but with the new album now in the picture, do you have any new thoughts on where a new listener should start? I trust your opinion implicitly in matters of music.

Thank you for your trust! I hope I'll honor it properly.

My take on this depends on how much time you have to dedicate to get into the band. Do you wanna get hooked right away but skip steps, catching back afterwards? Immediate payoff, but you are spoiling the experience a bit and diminishing its overall emotional impact. Or do you wanna give it the time to grow on you if you already know you're gonna love them, and take the slow, intended, carefully crafted route? It's a bigger time and attention commitment so you gotta want that and payoff will come later.

If you want the quick way in: Chokehold and The Summoning, into the rest of the new album Take Me Back To Eden. You'll get the end of the story before the beginning, thematically, lyrically and emotionally; but there's a reason why those two singles are the ones that made them go viral. They are the optimal hooks. Then you can catch up with the rest of the discography.

If you want the slow, scenic route as the band intended it and you have the brain space / time for three albums: 2019's Sundowning album, into 2021's album This Place Will Be Your Tomb album, into 2023's Take Me Back To Eden album. Listen to the albums all the way through, get the full story, get the full brunt and weight of the emotional payoff of TMBTE without having spoiled yourself. Then you can explore the demos and EPs.

(This thought had to go somewhere, I’m so sorry it had to be your ask box)

Palm tree, jasmine, abelia, bamboo?

~owlish

Thank you for the questions deary!!

palm tree ⇢ do you have a fictional villain you shouldn’t like but love regardless? lol Liking villains is all I do thoooo XD I almost never like the heros, the villains are where it's at! The more fucked up the better! I don't believe I'm not supposed to like any characters: if they were created / written into existence, it's to be seen and enjoyed. I don't believe in guilty pleasures and stuff like that, I like what I like, and I happen to love fucked up characters with trauma and depth that have horrendeous coping mechanisms and sometimes (oftentimes) turn to violence of the psychological and/or physical nature to attempt to heal themselves by watching the world burnnnnn- Ok all of that to say it's not easy to pick one cause all my favorite fictional characters are that. NBC's Hannibal? Down bad. Gaslight me into oblivion and cannibalise me. Outlander's Blackjack Randall? Break my fingers and flog me in the town's square please. Game of Thrones's Ramsay Bolton? Flay me and feed me to your dogs my man, you are a fascinating creature. Criminal Mind's Frank Breitkopf? Sit me down in prison with this serial killer, I wanna poke his brain about everything. I am down bad for the Big Bad Evil Guy Final (?) Boss in my DnD campain, I'm just wired like that, what can I tell you XD

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again? The vast majority of the books I read, the few movies I watch, and the video games I play. Like, 99% of those. I cannot make myself replay something I've played once, or re-read a book, repetition does not hold my attention at all when it's not music.

abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with? I answered this one over here and I don't have an alternate answer to give for this one.

Took me a while from seeing you back on my dash (about which I was/am VERY excited) and going back to your ask box, but I figure I could say hi :D

There was a ton of stuff going on for me haha

But right now I’m sitting outside (wearing ear plugs and headphones and also sunglasses because my sensory issues won’t let me have anything nice without needing to prepare for it), just breathing in fresh air and relaxing. It‘s pretty nice, even though I feel a little guilty for not doing anything

I Hope You’re doing okay!

~owlish anon

Hi little owl!!! It's so good to hear from you again! ❤️ I am doing stellar, thank you for asking!

Dude I got the transition glass on my glasses just because I cannot step outside in the sun without sunglasses or that's an instant overstimulated state + potential migraine starter. And I never go anywhere without at least headphones to block out the noise. And that's A-OK! We do what we gotta to to be able to enjoy being outside, the fresh and and the smells of nature that are good for our brains, it's wonderful! Using our aids and accomodations is never a failure. I'm happy that you can have that moment of tranquility and peace. Sometimes doing nothing is the best thing you can do, I hope you can enjoy it.

I already answered those two previously, but I'll do new answers for you dear! ❤️

papyrus ⇢ if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with? Pang by Caroline Polachek

I absolutely adore her, and while her new album from this year blew her debut out of the water, 2019's Pang is still an incredible record that I go back to. It has a special place in my memories as being part of the soundtrack of my first relationship when me and my life partner went the non-monogamy route. This was the type of dreamy pop with lovesick lyrics I craved at the time because I felt like an absolute teenager with a crush again. What a youthful experience that was, and Caroline Polachek's breathy, airy, flight-like shimmering sound was exactly the vibe. There was lots of nervous energy in that first attempt at enm, a healthy dose of not having words anymore so I'd let song lyrics do the talking. Lines like "There's a look in your eyes when you're hungry for me. It's a beautiful knife cutting right where the fear should be." resonnated, what with being very afraid of putting myself out there and maybe not getting love back the way I wanted to. That partnership ended badly (spoiler: we were too eager and we didn't see the red flagsssssss and it came back to bite us in the asssssssss) so it's difficult to look back entirely positively at it. But it taught us a lot, and songs / albums like this remind me of how good the early months felt, how giddy and truly happy I was, and that's always gonna be worth something.

Thank you for the ask buddy! :D

abelia ⇢ do you have a particular piece of jewelry you always wear or can’t part with? I can't wear jewelry at all because of sensory issues. I ttried for decades to tolerate jewelry in all different types and nope, can't do it. At this point I know there is no point of draining my own spoons being overstimulated by an acessory. My heathen ass, however, had a physical need to wear my mjölnir, that's the necklace I tried to endure for the longest. At one point I knew I couldn't keep wearing it but I needed to have it on otherwise I felt something was missing, so I got it tattooed. Been "wearing" my mjölnir that way for nine years now haha. So I gues that counts, kinda?

chamomile ⇢ what kind of things do you like receiving as gifts? Things that I want but that I can't bring to buy myself because I'm not super keen on splurging monetarilly on myself. Useful things like appliances I wanted but never wanted enough to shoulder the bill. Band memorabilia or vinyls I couldn't make myself pay import customs on. Kink gear I'd been eyeing forever but never went for. I have this mental block sometimes where I really waqnt something and can,t get it out of my mind, but it's just a notch under wanting it enough to be able justify it in my own brain as not a waste (because issues make me feel like things are wasted on me ha haha hahaha yay). So people easing that process by getting the thing for me, it takes the stress away and now I can enjoy and honor the gift by using it to its full potential.

Of course darling, but that doesn't make any less special to have you in my inbox ❤️

sage ⇢ what ‘medium’ of art (poetry, music, fiction, paintings, statues etc.) is the most touching to you? why do you think that is? Oh music, 100%. I am a very audotiry-seeking person, I tend to need an audio component to make the deepest emotional connections to things, and I love to feel the emotions in a physical way through my body. While other mediums like writing etc. can instill emotion in me, it's a detached experience. I can rationalize and internalize the written word but I'm not gonna feel it in my actual body much. Music, I feel inside my body, with the goosebumps, the vibrations of the sound, the ways it compells me to move and stim. My body is made to move in rythm, but reading is a static, often sat, experience. Plus there's live shows which can feel like literally being pummeled, emptied out, scooped out with your innards replaced by the sonic vibrations. Music for me is an experience that involved all of my senses, so it's more easily connected with my nervous system and and brain. There's something distinct about the physical experience of music, like, lyrics do it for me, but poetry does nothing to me at all, and that's cause I couldn't hear the poem necessarily and have it paired with specific tones and chords and modes to support or contrast the words. Audio's my main priprity when it comes to having an emotional response to anything.

ivy ⇢ what are your ‘tells’ for your emotions and moods? how can someone tell you’re happy, annoyed, upset or tired? Now that's a question to ask an autistic person XD My tells are clear, direct communication. Ask and I'll tell you, type of vibe. I let people know. I'm sure I have instinctive, subconscious shifts in my tone of voice, pattern of speech, microexpressions, stance, aura and what I give off in general when my mood changes. My problem with those tells is, very often people misconstrude my "tells" and assume I feel a certain way when I don't. Reading tells implies a big amount of projection and inferring things that unfortunately people don't always seek to confirm. So to me, in my experience, my tells are missread constantly. People think I'm mad so often when I'm nowhere near that state, for instance. I dunno what I'm doing to look mad all the time but I guess I have that "tell" going on loads more often than I feel that emotion. Tells are unreliable. Someone can tell what mood I'm in by asking directly! Ain't that the most autistic answer I could have given to this question hahahahha, fuck xD
