I Take This Event As A Sign That Papa V Will Be Revealed Soon. Let's Hang In There, Ghesties!

LOL. LMAO even.

COPIA IS BIG MAD LOL.

At this point, I think we can just go with our own interpretations of the story because of how loose it is. In the end, it's the music that truly matters. I would love a more coherent story, of course, but I'm not going to lose sleep over this anymore. I'm satisfied with just enjoying the music and concerts now. Although, it is still sad that I will never see Terzo having any influence. At least we got quite a few Meliora songs on the tour set list. Maybe Papa V Perpetua looked up to Terzo and wants to subtly carry on his legacy?

I think a retcon with four brothers is a bad plot decision, and here's why.

1. In the Meliora era, Nihil was introduced as the father of the other Papas, and that's important for many reasons. Tobias himself repeatedly emphasized that Terzo and Secondo had a common father but different mothers, and presented this as an essential characteristic. Nihil he referred to as "the bigger fish in the sea." Terzo once even promised that sooner or later we would see his father - and so it turned out. 

2. The subject of Meliora is a world without God. Tobias described it as a pre-apocalyptic world. It ends with the end of civilization when God returns and punishes humanity for its complacency. The last song of the era, "Bible," tells how the people of Babylon forgot about God and he unleashed the world in his wrath. The next album, Prequelle, is a logical extension of this - it's about the return of God, who brings punishment (plague) upon mankind. Considering this, metaphorically Nihil is the very God-father who comes to "close the party".

3. By coming on stage, Nihil is saying that a new Middle Ages is coming. His return symbolizes the rolling back of political systems to more archaic ideas and ways of government (I guess I don't need to tell what from real life that looks like). Modernization is replaced by conservatism. Democracy is replaced by more rigid and authoritarian forms of rule. The older generation here symbolizes conservative ideas, while the younger generation symbolizes aspirations for the future.

4. Terzo's image is largely based on the image of Lucifer, there are many references to that. Lucifer was thrown out of heaven by God, his father. It makes sense that Terzo is also cast down by his father, Nihil.

The Meliora - Prequel system worked fine until they needed to change key elements for some reason. I hope TF scraps this idea, because obviously it offers a bad alternative to a good story.

Oh Satan, that is so sweet!🥹

STOP I JUST REALISED COPIA KISSED CUMULUS ON HER HELMET AT THEIR FINAL SHOW IN THE RE-IMPERATOUR BECAUSE HE KNEW SHE WOULDN'T BE COMING BACK.

Me, waking up in PST and opening Tumblr:

#fucketh you LMAO

Everyone, you’re probably familiar with Jonny Bush, a brilliant artist who is licensed by Ghost but he is just stupendous. This is the first in his latest series—a medieval Emeritus!!! He has a whole lore that goes with it, just click here to read on his Instagram Jonny Bush

Just…never mind how gorgeous this is, he even wrote lore to go along with it! He’s amazing. I hope he does a con here in the States someday.

Maybe to take our minds off the tour for a little bit, we can look back at the Year Zero music video and theorize? Like, WHO IS THE BOY SUPPOSED TO BE?! Is he supposed to be the Antichrist, Secondo as a child, making his segments flashbacks? It's driving me crazy.

People talking about content drought in Ghost fandom like

oh noooo a DROUGHT after we just got…….. A full movie, a new album within the last five years, new tour announcement, new PAPA ALIVE ANNOUNCEMENT, new Lugz merch deal, new banners and pics of Papa II almost monthly

you know what what is? Audacity and greed

I just want to get this off my chest. I miss Terzo so much. But I also understand that he probably won't be coming back. I hurts remembering Chapter 3, especially when we can see Papa III's foot twitch, which I can only see as being purposeful. Maybe it was hinting at a stroy route that Tobias ended up scrapping, or maybe it was meant to twist the knife plunged into the hearts of Terzo's followers. I don't know which reason it is.

But, I would like to think that, if he could see how his flock are faring now, he would not want us to be sad for him. Maybe, he would want us to reach for the stars, soar to the heavens in ways he was prevented from doing.

He lives on in every one of us. In our hearts. We are the true ministry he strived to create. We can carry on his legacy.

He wanted us all to have happy endings. Even though he couldn't find his in this world, maybe he can finally have it in spirit.

"Let none on this earth inherit/ This vision of my spirit."

Maybe, this still rings true. That no other Papa can truly replace him and what marks he left in this world.

I'd like to think that, even now, he is cheering us on to be the best versions of ourselves. In the pursuit of something better.

OMG. Are these lyrics to one of the new songs?!

FUCKING RUN TO GHOST WEBSITE RIGHT NOW.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MEAN THOUGH. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. INSPIRED BY PAPA V PERPETUA??? URGES TO BURST???? WHAT THE FUCK I'M GOING TO PASS 9UT

Yeah, this sounds like it makes the most sense, to me at least. There was no way that Primo could be younger than Papa Nihil. If I remember correctly, in an interview several years ago (I don't remember if it was with Tobias as himself or as Special Ghoul), Primo was somewhere in his 80s when he was the frontman (2010-2012). And since Nihil admitted to being just shy of 80 years old when he died (2020) in RHRN, that means that Primo would have been roughly 10 years older (more or less) than Nihil.

This is my attempt at making sense of the recent revelations of the Ghost Family tree.

We now know for certain that Emeritus I was Nihil’s brother, based on what we have heard from the London Ritual, and the comic reveals that this brother has had children. And while people think the two babies shown in the Sister Imperator comic are Secundo and Terzo, I personally think they are Primo’s illegitimate sons, and perhaps future papas that may come after Perpetua’s time in the spotlight comes to an end.

As for Secundo and Terzo? Well I believe they are Nihil’s sons. The two were born three months from each other, and if they were indeed brothers to Nihil, they definetly would have been clued in the comic like Primo was. And they have been described been very much younger than Primo. And let’s be honest, Primo looked wayyy too old to be the brother of Secundo and Terzo.

That’s just me, though. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this new information because I was so used to the idea of Primo being a son of Nihil like the others. More information may come in the fallowing months that may make this post completely off the mark.
