Call me a Ghoul-Writer cuz I’m signing th heck up for this (I have no idea but I’ll find something 🫡)

Papa’s Red Box is looking for Submissions! 

Have you ever wondered what types of ‘paperwork’ Papas and Cardinals are always doing in fics? Or what kind of homework do siblings receive during classes taught by the clergy? 

Well now is your chance to create your take on those assignments.

Whether it's an academic-style paper for Secondo’s History of the Ministry, a piece of art for Primo’s Drawing 101 class, or a condition report of a ministry relic, it can be submitted here. Terzo’s poetry or photography classes can also submit their works. (Not all of the views might match, do not worry, everyone's ‘branch’ works a bit differently.)

Your work is important regardless of your role as a sibling in the ministry. Here we can showcase all your hard work. 

Don’t have a ‘research’ topic that comes to mind? No worries, we can have a brainstorming session to point you in the right direction. 

“What if I don’t want to work on this alone?” I’m sure some others feel the same way and will be eager to connect over mutual topics.

Don’t you think you can commit to a full research-style piece of writing? We will accept ‘write-ins’ debating a made-up ‘previous’ article. Or even a short incident report that describes encounters or conflicts between siblings and ghouls. 

If it feels like something that might come across a Papa’s desk, then it is welcome. 

What is a 'Red box'?

"Similar in appearance to a briefcase, they are primarily used to hold and transport official ministerial papers. Red boxes are one modern form of dispatch boxes, which have been in government use for centuries." Wikipedia

Theme:

The loose theme of this is academia. This should be a fun ministry lore-building exercise. You get to build a new perspective into the inner workings of the ministry. Once again, not all of the views might match, do not worry, every ‘branch’ works a bit differently. After all, this is a ministry-wide collection of works. 

These should be written from an ‘in-universe’ point of view. Meaning that these should feel like they come from a sibling/clergy member’s hand. The potential discussions about magic or ghouls are limitless.   

Why the academic style?

This comes from my urge to write an academic-style paper again. I miss doing visual analyses on pieces of art and think it might be interesting to attempt that with the different pieces of cannon art for Ghost (ie: the stained glass backdrops, papal portraits, or even t-shirt art)

I also feel like Ghost fans love finding the hidden meanings of everything. This is a chance to fully compose those thoughts in a long-form piece of writing for others to enjoy. This means bringing in as many citations as you feel you need to completely defend your stance. 

Format:

This will be compiled into a PDF for all participants to enjoy, share, or even print to have a physical copy. It will be formatted in a way that will be easy to print and bind.

This is so there is no money being exchanged and creators can do whatever else they wish with these pieces. While we aren't collecting money, we are encouraging people to donate to a cause they believe in if they can do so.

Topic ideas:

Want to write about a historical painting but have nothing to do with it afterward? This is your chance to make that urge feel productive. 

Want to create something based on the ghouls that look at them from a research perspective? Great!

Did you do a bunch of random detail research for a fic and want to give it a chance to shine? This is your time.

Potential items:

incident reports (can be written in 3rd or 1st person)

research papers

Clergy member or previous papal biographies

Ministry wide memos

flyers/ads for clubs within the ministry or for ministry outreach. 

Condition reports

art pieces (Must be high res and printable)

‘Class notes’

Word counts:

This is going to be something that we will have to decide after getting in applications. It's all dependent on how many people we have actually wanting to write things vs visual arts.

Chucky and Ghostface in a box❤️

If you have Ghosts

In your heating ducts

If you have Ghosts

In your HVAC stuff

You can call on contractors or a priest

Or you could nudge Frater out with a large push broom

If you have Ghosts

You’ll get less air flow

The voice acting in the ghost roblox game is crazy why does tobias sound like hes stuck in the vents

New old Primo pics unearthed by Alex York on IG. It’s the ritual at The Underworld in Camden Town that Perpetua mentioned at The O2!!

‘RAT TWINS’

Bonus Cardinal Copia under the cut:

He's litrally the prettiest girl at the party yall

Lil sketch of Sodo that I'll probably never finish

Goofy stupid thing I started doing- I pinkified Sodo and Swiss and I'm currently working on Mountain rn. Why? Idfk, it was the 3 am crack addiction kicking in

Funny little goofy Cirrus drawing- First time drawing digitally for a rlly long time. Drawing on my old phone with my bad eyesight sucks booty- The nose is inspired by @purlty bc I love their noses for the ghoul(ette)s and I forever can't unsee it 😭

Little bonus WIP

Silly little thing I did for artfight- 🕺🕺🕺

Why did I decide to do this? No clue-

But enjoy some cat centaur Mountain 😀

Same fun little Aether doodles because I was bored-

Idfk what I'm doing with my art anymore-

Did I just spend about 8 hrs nitpicking at a drawing so I could use it as my pfp? Yes... Unfortunately yes I did 😭 ANYWHO- enjoy some Sodo with glasses and hot chocolate 🕺✨

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SODO WITH LIKE LITTLE ROUND GLASSES FOR SO LONG-

Can’t you see that you’re lost without me 🎶

I watched the Grammi’s performance of Cirice the other day and all I could think about was Terzo lurking behind the ghouls like he’s conducting their playing

First post! I'm decently new here, I mainly got the app for art inspiration and writing inspiration. Never thought much about actually posting until just recently. For awhile I was nervous because I wasn't sure what to expect and have never done anything like this before. However, here I am, attempting at posting whatever the hell I've drawn. So enjoy small traditional drawings of the new ghoul Phantom and a drawing card of Sodo!

Funny little doodle page

been a hot second since i last doodled something, but here you go. two Sodo doodles and one goofy Mountain one

Little practice doodle of Mountain and Sodo 🕺

I still refuse to draw full body, why? I physically can't get anatomy or proportions correct. 😀

Welcome to Scrunkle rants and Scrunkle ghoul headcanons pt. 1

Why is this here? So I don't forget something 😀 if anyone sees this and thinks my smooth brain has something interesting, please draw it 😭

So, what if water ghouls had small bioluminescent markings? Like the ones seawings have from Wings of Fire and they just communicate like that underwater. Our little water glowsticks. WEBBING PIERCINGS. WATER GHOULS, BUT WITH PIERCINGS ON THE WEBS IN BETWEEN THEIR FINGERS. Gill piercings? Maybe? Oo, maybe like dorsal fin ears that go all wibbly jibbly. Maybe the webbings could be pierced too? What if they can just make water bubbles and just cling onto them - like a cat with yarn would. I can just imagine a water ghoul with like a shark tail or something.

Fire ghouls, the little firecrackers and their goofy little tine spine spikes? Maybe more dragon-like fire ghouls? SOMEONE DISAGREE WITH ME, BUT FIRE GHOULS THAT JUST BREATHE OUT SMALL PLUMES OF SMOKE. Anyways. Maybe little fire ghouls with possible four sets of horns? The two main ones and two smaller ones on top?

Earth ghouls and goat pupils. That's all I can thing of. WOULD SOME HAVE LIKE HOOF FINGERS? OR WOULD THEY HAVE REGULAR FINGERS BUT HAVE THE CLASSIC LIKE DARK BROWN END AT THE TOP KNUCKLE? Like little socks 👀. Earth ghouls, but with antlers. Or little deer tails. 🧍‍♂️

Air ghouls and their tiny little wings have me on my knees 🧎‍♂️ What if some air ghouls have like mini wings for ears? Like what you'd see for angels? Or too angelic? Maybe like hair tufts at then like a lynxes? ✨Whispy✨ horns. What if they can just levitate a little bit over the ground 🧍‍♂️

Quintessent ghouls and possible twin tails... 🧍‍♂️ IDK BUT THIS HAS BEEN PLAGUING MY MIND. They got them mythical dragon horns. What if you can just place a small ball or something in between their horns and it just floats? ✨Majestic creatures✨ they got that goofy ahh purple mouth? Idky but everytime I think of either quintessent ghouls or enderman from Minecraft, I just think of like a mix of them. 😀 Maybe small little purple particle effect thingy? Possible minimized teleporting, poofy puffy abilities?

MULTI GHOULS GOT THEM TRIPPED OUT HIDDEN FEATURES. OR THEY CAN JUST SHAPESHIFT. OR THEY JUST BUILT DIFFERENT.

GHOUL. TOE. BEANS. ARE. SLAY. The cat button nose OR WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED IS ALSO A MISSION SUCCESS. THEY'RE CATS IN DISGUISE, SOMEONE PLEASE XHANGE MY MIND.

Taking their bows at the end in Rouen🥹

Thanks to @araghorn07 for supplying these for me. I didn’t take any of my own, it was so emotional and such a blur I forgot to take some😭

So these are special 🫶🏻

Look at that lean back into Phantom 🫠

I think we may have double trouble incoming

I missed Aether so much last night 😭

BUT this Ghoul (phantom?) had SUCH a good stage presence and is kinda sexy
