In their room, Rain sitting in his armchair with a book or his bass while Phantom games and sometimes when Phantom needs a short break, he goes over and sits on the floor to rest his head on Rain's thigh, and Rain automatically starts giving him scratchies around his ears which makes Phantom close his eyes and purr to relax for a bit before he decides he's okay now, and he gives Rain a kiss before going back to his computer.

Rain heavily applying a minty chapstick and not telling Phantom so when he kisses all over his furry face, the minty scent not only lets the others know that Rain has staked his ever so subtle claim on the quint, but it also confuses the fuck out of Phantom who keeps smelling mint around him and is too damn clueless to understand how and why.
He finally finds out later and attempts to reciprocate with a cherry scent on Rain.
A short, very unserious, most informal writing I have ever done, as an initial treat for my good friend @nameless-art-ghoul, but I think Imma post it here cuz why the fuck not?
Not gonna post it to AO3, so this is all you're gettin lol. Enjoy.
Word count: 1181
“Phan…?”
There's no response from the sleeping quint; dead to the world and also to his very pregnant partner.
Rain huffs, tail flicking under the blankets, and he sits up with a grunt to nudge Phantom's shoulder.
“Phaaan,” he quietly whines. “Babe… baby… dumbass… dipshit…”
Every nickname he affectionately labels the ghoul is whispered with every nudge; which also gets more and more aggressive until finally an annoyed groan arises out from Phantom.
“Mmnnghh, whaaat? What's wrong?” His golden eyes emit the faintest glow when they blink up with a pout at his siren partner.
“I want sushi.”
More blinking, brow furrowed and mouth half open with half-awake confusion as the demand processes in the sleepy quint's mind. After a minute of staring into Rain's dead serious face, he runs a paw over his face into his messy hair with another long groan.
“Rain… what time is it?”
“2:46 A.M.”
“2 A.M?!”
“2:46, yes.”
“Rain!” Phantom flops back into the mass of blankets that make up their nest-bed, rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands.
Rain just looks down at him, only a little apologetic. He hates feeling the way he does lately, and how much he is putting on his poor partner. But he seriously could not sleep tonight. The little one was extra active tonight, and has been making his hips and lower back even more sore than they usually are. And of course the late night cravings have been hell for them both too.
But at the same time…
“I specifically want the stuff at the gas station down the road.”
“You mean the one that's a couple of blocks down the road…”
Rain goes quiet for a second. “Yeah?”
Phantom lets out a long heavy breath and drops his hands from his face. He looks up to see Rain resting against the wall of fluffy pillows, his hand resting atop his slightly swollen stomach like it always belonged there. The siren looks so incredibly worn out, more than he did before. And while Phantom will never truly know what his partner is going through at this time, all he knows is how to at least try and make Rain's life a little bit easier.
Even if that meant getting up in the middle of the fucking night to trudge his half-awake ass down to the shitty gas station for some—in his personal opinion—equally shitty sushi. But for some reason, Rain's pregnancy brain had declared it the number one most appetizing thing he has ever eaten ever, and if he doesn't have it at least every week, then Phantom fears that the siren will actually start going feral.
So that's how the glamoured ghoul found himself clothed in whatever he slapped on in their dark room, and entering the low lit building.
The clerk at the counter doesn't even spare him a glance as Phantom beelines to the shelves where the pre-packaged sushi resided amidst other ready made meals.
Having done this many times, he grabs a sashimi and nigiri pack, and since the shelf had clearly not been restocked yet, the next best he could get was a California roll carton. It wasn't Rain's top choice, but he would still eat it, albeit begrudgingly. And if he didn't, then Phantom doesn't mind helping himself to the said California roll.
After gathering his haul, he shuffles to the counter and carefully places his wares on the surface. The clerk, a very bored and weathered middle-aged man, sighs and carelessly grabs the food as he scans it all.
Phantom lets out a breath from his nose, fingers twitching from how haphazard this man is treating his dear pregnant partner's food.
“Uh, sorry, could you be a bit more… careful? Please?”
The man slows down only to raise a now very annoyed eyebrow at his customer.
“It's just that this is for my pregnant partner, and he is very picky with his food right now and—”
“He?” The clerk repeats the pronoun with a tone of such distaste that it instantly sets Phantom's blood on fire.
“YEAH, HE!” Phantom leans in with a near manic look in his disguised brown eyes. “It's 20-fucking-26, man! Get over it, and let me pay for my damn sushi!”
The man is clearly taken aback at the outburst, but he lets out a short huff while shaking his head and he finishes ringing up the sushi, placing them in a plastic shopping bag; being noticeably more gentle now.
“That'll be 15.47.”
Phantom is still staring daggers as he pulls out his card, hands it over, and once it's been ran, he shoves it back in his wallet.
The clerk holds out the bag in the manner akin to holding a sack of shit; with disdain and intense annoyance. “Have a good night… sir.”
Phantom yanks the bag out of his hand, his own voice tight and tense. “Thanks.”
And he stomps out of the station, mumbling Latin curses under his breath.
He makes it back to the Ministry in ten minutes by the sheer fury in his steps. He squeezes through the back gate into the garden and then he enters the dorm by way of the outside door into the wing. His steps are quieter as he heads straight to his and Rain's room, opening the door to find the siren still resting against the headboard, surrounded by his pillows and looking quite cozy in one of Phantom's shirts.
Their TV is on and tuned to a past recording of some hockey game, a go-to when Rain has trouble sleeping.
Phantom visibly relaxes once the door is shut and he lets out a long breath as he slips off his shoes and de-glamours. Rain looks over as soon as his partner entered, and gives him a small smile.
“Welcome back.”
Phantom nods once wordlessly as he places the bag on the bed for a moment, undresses back down to his underwear, tossing his attire to the floor and then padding over to Rain.
The water ghoul's aqua eyes light up upon seeing his beloved foodstuffs. Oh and also his sweet, caring, thoughtful partner who got him sushi at 2 A.M.
Phantom plops the bag down in Rain's lap, and then without another word, crawls back into his side of the nest-bed, burrowing under the covers with yet another loud and heavy sigh.
Rain chuckles softly, reaching down to run his hand through the messy waves of his partner's hair. Or at least the small bit that's poking out from the blankets.
“Thank you, Phanny…”
Phantom responds with a grunt, trying to still act annoyed, but Rain can feel his tail give a little flick under the covers; a giveaway to his true emotions.
So there they are. Rain happily consumes his late night craving whilst his considerate partner falls back asleep next to him. In the morning, Rain will leave Phantom half of the California rolls, which the quint will still eat even though they're a few hours old.
Rain going on that fuckass Roblox karaoke and absolutely smoking those 5 year olds
Phantom occasionally joins but its mostly to fuck around while Rain actually tries and effortlessly wins almost every time

FINALLY... my Ghostie-verse Water Ghoul designs!!!
AAAA I can finally rest now!! There are so many of these hoes, but ya know what, they were the most fun to design ngl.
Just gonna out it out here right now, I will take some time to uh ehehe... play Tomodachi Life when it officially is available this week, so the art might take a break for a hot minute, but I do still wanna finish the ghoul designs, so don't fret, they will get done. Eventually.
Unless something changes, then I'll update ya'll of course, but for now, I'm taking a break lol.
Also if anyone cares, heres the link to the fire ghoul designs post: Fire Ghoulies!!!
ANYWAYS! WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I PRESENT MY WATER GHOULIESSSSS!!!
First off the bat we have... CHAIN!!!
OKAY there was a post ON HERE that actually pointed out Chain having the chain catshark design AND I NEVER LIKED IT OR SAVED IT SO IF ANYONE KNOWS THE POST PLS LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT THEM CUZ DAMN THAT IS A GOOD FUCKING IDEA!
Next is Lake!
Listen, all I heard of Lake is that he was the one that wore the black contacts and supposedly got fired(?) So uh... yeah. To add more character to them, I designed them off of a sea angel just cuz I wanted a sea angel ghoul design and I had fun with it honestly! She looks prettyyyyy! although im not too sure about the hair but eh whatevs
Now to Riverrrrr!
I'll be honest, this really wasn't the design I had in mind but i was looking for water creatures for inspiration and I said fuck it, we having a cute chubby goldfish ghoul with a wolfcut. Cuz i can.
And yes, Delta is indeed his dad! You'll see why as we move on to...
DELTAAAAAAAA!
Now class, if anyone paid attention to my fire ghoul design post, you may recall how I mentioned that Alpha was the first ever fire ghoul to be created by Satan. Well, Delta is also one of those first ever elemental demons to be created way back when. Hence his uniqueness and also the fact that he has some kiddos running around; all grown up by now, but still. I had a lot of fun with his design too! I also wanted an axolotl ghoul so after research, I decided on a chimera type to lowkey showcase both his water and "quintessence" sides.
OMG CAN'T FORGET OUR FIRST LADY, MIST!!!
First drawing a woman, feeling good. honestly the water ghouls are just excuses to use cute and funky water creatures for designs lol. i had talked with a Tumblr moot about her having a sea urchin vibe but i deadass had NO CLUE how to go about that, so I looked around and decided on a blue sea dragon instead AND I PERSONALLY THINK SHE TURNED OUT VERY BADASS! Love her frfr 🫶🏻
Okay, we're getting to the end now. We ending it with *GASP* WATER GHOUL DEWDROP???
blue ass emo mfer lmao
yeah ya'll already know about him from the fire ghoul post so i literally didn't even bother with allat
AND FINALLY MY POOKIE-
RAIN!!!!!!!!
Yeah yeah yeah thats my boyyyyy! Also provided his chud ass OLD DESIGN- WE DONT KNOW HIM.
not much changed with him design wise, just his freckles, stache and i didnt realize his hair is actually dark brown in the beginning lol, so i fixed that real fast. his tail actually should be thicker too but i already spent so much time trying to get his tail decent so... yeah...
Either way, i love him and his whole being, that is my son and he will be subjected to much angst in this universe cuz i love him 😁🤪😘
Whew. mkay, thats done lol.
anyways, enjoy them. and if anyone wants to use my designs as inspo or whatever just credit me and tag me plssss, I wanna see it if anyone does anything with them!!!

Nixie went to space???? WITHOUT HER PARENTS NO LESS LMAO! I DIDN'T KNOW!
Also didn't know it was basically end game to get the space adventure so that was... interesting lmao
(Also was not shocked at the top fav residents lmao)
And also just added literally tonight was my Chain ghoulie!!!
Thats about it for anything major, and now heres some silly additions.
shoutout to @nameless-art-ghoul for the Phantom hat cuz they sent me the ref pic XD
ya know what, i WILL jump on the bandwagon that Phantom has a sort of intense fascination with space purely because having the Artemis II trip happen AND Project Hail Mary releasing around the same time would get that little nerdy side of him going crazy.
And just in general being so in awe of how despite the bullshit in the world, both of these events happening is such a huge boost of hope and joy. Me personally, reading and seeing stuff about the Artemis II crew, I didnt think I would care much about it but omg the pictures of the other side of the moon?? New HD pictures of Earth??? Im tearing up, deadass.
Watching Grace want to help but feeling so out of his league being in space and somehow he ends up actually being successful through the power of science and friendship of an alien rock??? Crying.
idk, its just crazy that the world is teetering on the edge of turmoil so much lately and yet there's still human accomplishments happening at the same time, with hope hidden within.
To bring it back around to (my version of) Phantom, a ghoul who had to catch up and learn about 90 years of human history, the sheer awe and shock of the good and bad things that humankind had done is overwhelming. But the hope that things can be and maybe WILL be better is also very human, and thats something that Hell itself can't take from him.
