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, the front hems embellished with satin piping. 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!!

hey so i'm not from the ghost fandom but how do yall tell the faceless ghouls apart from each other? i know from reading wikipedia that they sign with alchemy symbols but on stage it doesn't make sense how yall do it

Hi!

Despite all the confusion, there's several ways you can tell them apart, like body language, physique, their positions on stage, the instruments they play and so on.

Once you get more into them and grow more used to each of their personalities, you're able to recognise them almost instantly just by the way they behave or their body language! I promise it's not as hard as it seems 🖤

If you're interested in more details:

This post was really helpful when I was getting into Ghost cause it goes briefly through all of the ghouls, their personalities and the different references you can use to tell them apart.

This post goes through the instruments they play (only for the guitarists I'm afraid, but it's still really helpful if you wanna start getting more familiar with them).

With the new ghoul outfits, you can also tell them apart by their helmets (you can't always see their helmet's details that clearly, but it's a good way of distinguishing them if they're off stage or if you don't have other references). You can find more details on this post.

Telling the ghouls apart can be a bit tricky at first. I took a while myself to be able to differentiate them and still to this day, when they're not in formation and without their instruments I have some trouble with telling who is who, especially for ghouls who have a similar physique (Rain and Dew, I'm looking at you).

Anyway, there's many different posts going around about this topic so I'm choosing not to go too deeply into all the details but I hope this is helpful somehow 🖤 Feel free to reach out to me if you have more questions or if you need anything else!

hi im new to being interested(like, more than just liking the music) in Ghost, could someone who's been here longer explain a few things?

how do we know what elements the ghouls are? i see people talking about how Sodo switched from being water to fire, which is why he was/still is referred to as Dewdrop, but like,, how do we know that?

i know there's the chapters on YouTube, but is there also lore in the music videos and stuff? i havent watched any of those yet but if they might be important i will

i have other things to ask but those are the things that have been bugging me the most >_<

Era Five Unholy Trio 101

(In the photo from left to right: Aether, Rain, Dew)

So you have just stumbled upon the band Ghost and now there’s three identical looking mfs playing what looks like a guitar and you wanna know how the fuck is one supposed tell them apart. Well look no futher, you’re in the right company! As I have probably hundreds of hours of ghoul goggling under my belt by now I think I can be of some help to you. So without further ado, here’s my tips on ghoul identification so you will always know who’s that sexy ghoul! (A/N: the names are not official ones (except for Sodo, which is what the dude is called outside of Ghost as well) since they’re nameless ghouls after all, but fans came up with names to make things easier)

AETHER

SODO/DEWDROP/FIRE/STOMPY/IDK MAN HE HAS LIKE 500 NICKNAMES

RAIN

QUIZ TIME! WHO’S THAT GHOUL?

1.

2.

3.

Answers:

1. Rain and Aether (Rain has nose visible while Aether has nose and mouth visible)

2. Rain (Check the rings!)

3. Aether and Dew (Aether with his banana and nose and mouth visible, Dew’s visibly shorter than Aether where as Rain would be about the same heigh as Aether)

Well, that’s the trio that we see most on the front part of the stage! You can also check out this helmet guide! A guide to the rest of the ghoulies will follow at some point when I get my shit together. Hope this helps!

yeehawgust day 3: wanted poster

headlines and descriptions from 19th century wanted posters I found that I thought were fun

“notorious badmen!!!”

“warning! be it known that (name) is falsely practicing as a dentist”

“has the appearance of a hard-fisted farmer”

“these men are desperate!”

“last seen wearing a mustache, which was tinged with grey on one side”

(sketch of suspect) “the above likeness is a good one but flatters. His face is not so full and his lips are thinner.”

“hands hairy on back; has a peculiar motion to them when walking”

[jimswaxnose69]

even more job ideas for your western/cowboy oc that are not outlaws, bounty hunters, or sheriffs

wanted poster sketch artist - try your darnedest, some of the descriptions folks will give you will be really... something

owner of a small inn/old trading post in the middle of nowhere - days are slow, but ever so often you get travelers stopping by to rest or replenish their things

stablehand for a traveling wild west show like "Buffalo Bill's" - working with performers is tough (they always think they're the main character ugh), you prefer the company of animals and enjoy watching shows from behind-the-scenes

a small town's local barber... and dentist... and surgeon...

saloon piano player - inebriated patrons amuse and annoy you

snake oil salesperson - do you brew your own magic juice or are you just a pawn in a larger business?

sunday school "teacher" - you were not quite educated yourself, but you were the only able-bodied adult in town without kids or family, so you got assigned daycare duty
