MiniFemSlashFem2025 Day 19: Please… Sing With Me (by @astrobookwormsinger)

(deep breath) I'm kinda nervous about this one cause I feel like I need to explain a lot of things. So you know how the original canon of Ghost is that the ghouls are resurrected people, just like the Papas? I'm sure most of that has gone out of canon with Copia's biggest fear being death in RHRN—wouldn't work if he was a zombie Pope as originally envisioned.

But I really like thinking that the ghouls are more human than most of the fan designs, not straight up zombies, but mostly-humanoid bodies "summoned" out of hell to serve. Maybe made to resemble humans but created by hell, so they retain some "hellish" features such as the horns and tail (I don't want to deviate too far from fanon😭 plus that's fun). Therefore their skin is more grey than "normal" humans (but still has skin tones), their hair can be whatever, and they still have body types. Also, I want them to resemble the person who summoned them in one way or another, and since all the Emerituses have the white left eye, I gave them their element markings over that eye to sort of have some sort of "marking" which I feel they would naturally have.

Our lore also includes other things, such as "faded" old markings of elementally transitioned ghouls such as Dew (like top surgery scars!), the idea of ghoul essences (LONG story), ghoul polyamory and ghoul life mating, ghoul and Papa connections, and finally, their affinity to their element(s). Maybe I'll explain everything in a long comic or textpost like that Ghoul Summoning Guide one day. Along with all my other ghoul designs cause I'm so happy with most of them :3

Anyway now that that's done here's Cirrus and Cumulus! To me Cumulus is the polite Mom Friend of the Era 4/5 ghouls + Copia (and a very powerful ghoulette because the other Air ghouls usually have one/two pianos and she's in RHRN with SIX) while Cirrus is more bolder and a bit showy (as seen with her Mummy Dust solos!) and I wanted their faces to reflect that. Yes the background is meant to be pianos and yes it sucks I know😭 and Cirrus isn't listed as a singer in RHRN end credits IIRC but I'm almost sure she used to sing in Prequelle-era tours if not anymore??? Wikipedia says so at least????? So they're singing. Together <3
