Ghoul Worldbuilding Headcanons:
Ghoul kitchens are always clean. Very few ghouls actually cook to begin with, which makes most of their kitchen indefinitely clean. And all of them can’t afford to leave evidence of their meals, so they clean up immediately.
Because of this, ghouls are commonly known as very tidy people among their human friends.
Koalas and Panda Bears are common favorite animals (or at least, animals of heavy interest) among ghouls for the fact that they also live on a single food source (albeit both plants — eucalyptus and bamboo)
Carnivorous animals that get demonized as “eating machines” like Sharks are also common favorite animals / animals of interest
Because of this, a lot of ghouls take interest in animals and want to go into a work field of either studying or working with animals. (If you can't work against the demonization of your own species, might as well work on helping other species!)
Given that Hide can keep Cain’s mouth shut in the novels to make him swallow human food, what if ghouls are like crocodiles and alligators? Incredible bite strength, but the muscle that opens their mouths is really weak.
Acting human requires a lot of suppression, far beyond what canon covers. Think about it: They have to ignore the scents they smell, everything they overhear, keep their strength and agility in check, avoid dangerous objects because they can't be harmed by it. And they have to guess and estimate all these limits, because they can't just ask. They even have to play dumb and fearful about knowledge of their own species, as public knowledge on ghouls and even the CCG is very low.
And it requires a lot of supplementation, too. They have to catch up on the importance of food in human culture, from favorite foods to grocery shopping. And be able to recognize the variety of human food, and pay attention to and prepared for common eating times. They've probably never experienced a true human restaurant besides coffee shops. They also have to make up family history since most ghouls are orphans, and stick to a single believable backstory.
Given that the CCG take ghoul bodies after killing them and turn them into quinques, having a body at all is a big deal amongst ghouls, and in recent history makes their death ceremonies not entirely unlike humans'
Having a real disconnect when it comes to the blood and gore side of horror. They can tell its meant to be terrifying and disgusting, but it gives them the complete opposite reaction. Which could either be really fun and enjoyable, or the source of alienation and guilt, depending on the ghoul
Whether its through chemosignals or simply overhearing heartbeats, ghouls can sense fear
(And lying too, probably)
If they can sense chemosignals, then that would make communicating through masks easier for them, as they don't need to read each other's expressions to tell emotions
Cats don't just purr from contentment, but also often purr when stressed, and there's a theory that cat purring aids in healing, which feels really ripe for worldbuilding considering that ghouls have regeneration. Maybe they go hand-in-hand — purring whenever their regeneration kicks in, or maybe they tend to purr when their regeneration gives out — instinctually using a more primative form of healing
(The theory also says that cat purring can lower stress and aid healing in humans too, so consider that for your ghoul x human ships! It wouldn't be an enhanced form of healing for humans, but it would still be comforting and have minor healing properties like the cat purring theory!)
Ghouls' eyes glow. Their kakugan glowing is pretty accepted as canon, but what if even their "normal" eyes glow too?
(Examples of :re Donato because I thought it was cool)
Also bonus headcanon for this specific scene: Donato really likes to sit in the dark and let his eyes glow creepily, just another fun little way to freak out cochlea's doves. But they quickly caught on to this and started keep the lights on. As Donato's friend, Haise's the only one who lets him sit in the dark during interrogations anymore. Enrichment :)

Quadrobics in Kakuja (and mildly Ghouls) ✨🐾✨
Kakuja have heavier/denser RC cells in their Kagune and they rely more on instincts.
The fact their Kagune is heavier, they balance it by giving more points for impact/connection making less strain on their legs. (Sry bikaku or ukaku Kakuja.)
Kakuja have longer arms so they look a little funky when they stand on just their legs, speaking of legs they stand on their toes (digitigrade).
Them walking quadrupedally makes them develop a weird way of walking bipedally. Often still on their toes or hunched over.
In addition to longer arms; longer metacarpals in their feet and (slightly) shorter fibula and tibia, again making it more comfortable to walk on all fours that not.
All of these characteristics get more noticeable when they spend less time around/with humans. (Aogiri, I'm looking at you.)
Since they rely more on instincts, it makes them more sporadic (speratic?) and unpredictable when fighting; but also means they could accidentally hurt someone they love if they're stressed enough, which is easier to do to Kakuja than to ghouls. (If the CCG keeps Kakuja they totally do this more to them, just to be like 'look at these monsters! they hurt their allies!' tbh I bet they would never admit their 'allies' are their friends)
While ghouls also do quadrobics, because it's not as often, they don't commonly develope these characteristics but if they spend enough time away from populated areas then they will develop mild-moderate
I've barely fleshed out these ideas, feel free to add to it!
Bonus; here's a drawing I made of Centipede but I am wayyy too tired to finish it currently: (it's not even close to done but :/
(think snow leopard/jaguar for tail pose. Why tf do their feet look like hands? Idk. Kakuja mutations? Cheers to ((hc)) Centipede having weird proportions)

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SO RIGHT
I like the idea of Kakuja/Half-Kakuja play fighting.
This entire idea happened because of a cute dream of Centipede and T-Owl getting caught play fighting on camera or something.
Opinions?
(plz ask abt the dream, I have it written down!)
[I also refer to Centipede as they/them (Genderfluid)]
YOUR BEAUTIFUL MIND IS SO CORRECT TELL ME YOUR DREAM
Ghouls are known for their violence and instinct to kill, but that same instinct is present when they’re having fun. Ghouls play fight, they need to play fight. Any time ghouls are friends they have that instinct to make eye contact and drop into a mock-pounce stance to signal its TIME. If you’re around a group of ghouls for even a few minutes inevitably some will be launching themselves at each other like cats
This happens for a few reasons, a lot of energy, overactive hunting instinct, the stress relief offered by wrestling and biting, and of course their biological need to be injured from time to time. Based on this headcanon from @just-another-tokyo-ghoul-fan (they are so very smart and cool with amazing ideas and they inspire me to write more please check them out), ghoul’s healing factor can get overactive and go overboard “healing” things that aren’t wrong if they don’t have minor injuries to work on from time to time, and the safe, controlled injury of play fighting is necessary for a ghoul to stay healthy. It’s the regenerative equivalent of rabbits chewing on wood to file down teeth that never stop growing
Most of the time it’s chasing, pouncing and small quick bites. Not enough to do real damage or leave scars like marriage bites, but enough to kick in the healing factor. The CCG often finds ghouls covered in small, shallow bites and reports it as a sign of constant fighting due to their violent territorial behavior, but in reality it just means that that ghoul has friends and was having a fun time
Kakujas, being both far more controlled by instinct and way more regenerative, NEED TO PLAY FIGHT SO BAD. In fact, one of the major factors of how well a kakuja transformation goes is whether or not they are having survivable fights to help them form better kakuja structures, learn how to use it, and get enough small injuries that their bodies redirect some rc to heal instead of forcing it all into the kakuhou
Even once fully formed, kakujas are very quick to drop into the play-stance at people and get twitchy without that comfortable method of controlled violence. With how often they’re shunned and feared by their communities, they sadly tend to have few or no people to spar with, and it’s a factor in their mental state. One of the reasons kakuja are so aggressive is that they don’t have non-lethal outlets for that energy and it stresses them even more
Ghouls in their full kakuja form, especially those that aren’t used to it yet, are almost like dogs in how they play. Being so lost in instinct may make them incredible fighters, but it also makes them downright ridiculous when playful. It’s all splaying limbs and flapping kagune structures and strange happy growls. It can be terrifying to watch kakujas playing because it looks so bloody and violent, but they’re having a great time. It’s enrichment that they need and benefits both their mental and physical states
You better BELIEVE Eto and Tatara were play fighting constantly when they were becoming kakujas. Renji had to come over daily to kick Uta’s ass while they were transforming. Now with kaneki becoming a kakuja, he’s going to need someone to playfully kick his ass too. Centipede vs the Owl? I’m imagining the monster equivalent of an overly hyper kitten being easily shoved down by a big dog and they’re having a great time
I like the idea of Kakuja/Half-Kakuja play fighting.
[Not strictly Kakuja/Half-Kakuja, started like that tho]
This entire idea happened because of a cute dream of Centipede and T-Owl getting caught play fighting on camera or something.
Opinions? (Ask abt the dream, I have it written down!!)
[] I will be referring to Centipede as they/them.
Headcanon: Agender/Genderfluid, they/them and it/its but he/him is okay sometimes, she/her is good, more often, as well.
(This is mostly a 'Sasako needs more attention' thing, cause they kinda just glazed over how good Haise was at it. So I have a feeling they crossdressed/dressed femininely prior to that) []
Dream goes as this:
Someone is watching through a camera or something.
Centipede is sitting on top of a tower of some kind, it has a large square and flat top and it's all white. The towers isn't outside, it's inside of like a circle of some kind. There are other towers that line the walls just like it, in a circle, with a spiral staircase in the center with walkways leading to the square towers.
(I think this might be Coaclea, but I'm unsure; I've only seen the anime and that was 2-4 years ago.)
Their tails/rinkaku kakuja are kinda sprawled out behind them. They are clearly looking down at something, watching.
When T-Owl comes up over the edge behind them, very sneakily. He wanders close enough to Centipede finally, before gently (though at the beginning they didn't know that) biting one of their tails, making a noise similar to a puppy trying to play.
Centipede flips around, clearly caught off-guard, while hopping up into a mildly defensive pose. They are crouched down, on all fours, watching T-Owl.
[]
(Truly both are on all fours, I'm a sucker for quadrobics)
[alt. text to be added, you can ask if you want to do it.]
T-Owl chirps/sneezes.
Centipede does it back, before tackling T-Owl.
They duke it out in a similar way to both cats and dogs. Occasionally bitting each other, not aggressively or sexually but playfully.
Just nipping at each other.
Just playing together. The CCG won't admit this.
Until, accidentally, T-Owl bites them too hard and ends up actually hurting them. While it heals almost instantly, Centipede still yipes and leaps away from T-Owl.
T-Owl, recognizing what he did, purrs as he gets closer to Centipede. To any outsider this would look like T-Owl is trying to lure them into a false sense of security, but to other ghouls/half-ghouls he's clearly apologizing. Saying "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." purely by action.
T-Owl gets closer to them before nuzzling into their jaw with his beak, quietly chirping to them until they chirp back. Both recognizing his apology and their exception of that apology.
Centipede purrs.
T-Owl purrs.
They just sit there for a minute, calming each other down. Just affectionately chewing on each other. (Like dogs and T-Rexes, called craniofacial biting)
-Until an incredibly high-pitched and loud alarm goes off and spooks them both.

Agender-
Gendervoid-
Genderflux-
Voidere- A nonhuman gender that feels like there’s only a void, or black hole, where a person should be. It feels as though it cannot be explained in human terms. The user may feel like a personified shadow, black hole, void, or liminal space. It might also feel distant, distorted, and hard to define. Often connected to darkness, voids, shadow people, and black holes. Coined with void-related alterhumans in mind.
Sleepygender-
Softgender-
Leuboy- Info
Aerogender- it changes based on the setting or atmosphere one's in. This can refer to things like temperature, weather, time of day, time of year, elevation, etc. It can also refer to a more metaphorical atmosphere, such as one's level of comfort, emotions, or who they're around
Centigender-
Genderbee- is a xenogender that fels free, peaceful, and protected, but also painful. It may be considered a subset to buggender. It may also be a kingender, but does not have to be.
Mothic gender- a gender related to moths
Soft-Stormgender- While it is similar to other genders related to the rain, storms, etc., it is differentiated from them by encompassing all of the main ideas surrounding storms and cold weather, while also incorporating the emotional aesthetic and nostalgic feeling of being safe, warm, and indoors during a storm.

Link: Asexual Labels Explained Using Cereal
Quoisexual- You have no idea if you like a cereal because you want to eat it, or if you just think the box art is pretty. Does liking the box art count as wanting to eat it? Do you just like the mascot? Does liking the mascot count as wanting to eat the cereal? After reading everything I’ve written, you are still confused. You bang your head against the pantry in frustration.
Aceflux- None of the cereal looks good, so you close the pantry. A few days later, you decide to open the pantry again. Now, some of those brands look appetizing. You check the pantry again the next day. None of the cereal looks good anymore.
Aegosexual- Eating cereal sounds fun in theory but not in practice. You certainly have no interest in eating cereal yourself. You’d rather fantasize about other people eating cereal, thankyouverymuch.

Omniromantic- describes someone who is romantically attracted to all genders and can or does have a preference (in my case; women, rose-boys/feminine men, and enbys/non-men & non-women)
Cupioromantic- describes a person who desires a romantic relationship but doesn't experience romantic attraction to others
Reciproromantic- describes someone who does not experience romantic attraction to someone until they know that the person is attracted to them

My pretty boy; Erebus!
Erebus, in Greek religion, the god of a dark region of the underworld and the personification of darkness. -The Internet
I caught a Shiny Event Umbreon and an Event Espeon!
Ultra balled that motherfucker. Both of 'em.
And I caught a Venipede (now named Kaneki)
*aggressive whispering* they also could adopt Saiko...
(doesn't matter that Saiko is canonically ((I think)) only a few years younger that Kaneki, I find it cute and she already calls them 'Maman' sooo...)
Whoops sry @tg-headcanons I keep rebloging your older posts, I just love your ideas/headcanons cause they're a god I'd worship if I was religious lmao.
May we have some milf Kaneki hc?
WE LOVE THIS HONORARY MILF
Kaneki is a nurturing person. No one expects that of him but after he spends every morning tutoring Hinami on reading, practically adopts the quinx, and reminds Ayato so much of his dad that he calms the fuck down, no one can deny that this is a 43 year old suburban woman with three kids and kitschy home decor in the body of a deeply traumatized half ghoul man
Every so often, Ken will do something that someone will point out as a mom thing. Whether it be his stupid cardigans or berated Touka for doing the dishes badly or the fact that his bag is filled with napkins from restaurants and coffee shops that gave him too many because “we might need them”, he has the vibes of someone with kids
You look at his wedding caked up ass and tell me he wouldn’t rock the mom jeans
Since he started looking after the quinx and they gave him the half-joking Maman nickname, Hide has made so many milf jokes
A few years after Kaneki and Hideyoshi get married, they adopt two kids. At the adoption, Koma and Irimi exchanged bet money, Yoshimura admits that he already started a collage fund since it was only a matter of time, and Touka tied it all together with “fucking finally”
