Damn It. I'm Going To Need To Pull A Second All-nighter In A Row To Finish All Of My Assignments By Tomorrow

I WAS RIGHT! PRIMO IS NIHIL'S BROTHER! YES!!!!

THOUGHTS FROM GHOST’S LONDON SHOW IN NO ORDER AAAA:

The way when they were played Satanised he was clutching his head and swaying when the chanting happened!

HE DID SHY MUMMY THRUSTS THEN A BIG ONE.

Talked about “my uncle” (Primo) playing Camden 15 years ago and when I tell you I sobbed!

Had a very in and out Copia/Terzo accent that was so hot.

Lots of GROWLS. Man was growling and speaking rumbly!

he also said “do you want an Easter egg up the Keister. A Keister egg” ASDFGGH.

When we were asking for more songs he told us very snappy but playfully to “shut up” and SHUSHED us.

He was shy, bit snappy and quieter. He yapped a little but not much. He seems a little reserved and when he was moving around the stage he was less bouncy than Copia but still lively!

IF ANYONE WANTS TO ADD PLEASE FEEL FREE!

Maybe something will happen on the 3rd?

I take this event as a sign that Papa V will be revealed soon. Let's hang in there, ghesties!

He's so soothing to listen to. And he is so so cute! He has a vice grip on my heart.

staring at my favourite man to make me feel better

The V in papa V perpetua stands for virgin

You know, I thought something about this image seemed familiar.

Well shit.

I can't even imagine how Papa III felt whenever he looked himself in the mirror. Did he know how much he looked like his father?

MAMA, I’M CHASING A GHOST. DO I LOOK LIKE HIM?

It was a rite of passage for clergy-goers to see Papa Nihil standing outside of the Hall Of The Fallen. Always clutching his hands together, but never entering. He never sees the scratch marks on the coffin of his youngest.

The way the Papas don't have a clear native tongue despite their accent (except maybe Secondo based on Papaganda, all of this obviously caused by TF who is sort of a language genius and adds a lot of cultural/cinematic influences to his portrayals and actually *tries* to speak languages of country's the band visits on stage but also naturally having his own accent he can't magically get rid of) makes me imagine that they a) were taken from their initial homes upon discovery that they exist (depending how you think Nihil handled that), in the way that you lose parts of your language when you don't get to speak it regularly anymore, something you can see in immigrants who left their home country at a young age (them being taken from Italy perhaps and to the main abbey in Sweden considering Terzo seems to speak Swedish OR being raised in English speaking countries like perhaps Copia who has a stronger American touch OR them being sent around the world during their educational years + clergy duties like Terzo in Poland) or b) might have grown up around Italians (and other nationalities) speaking English because of the international, multi-cultural nature of the clergy and were so shielded that they did not necessarily get in touch with the world outside of the Ministry where kids might naturally pick up on the language.

It's fascinating as a concept, considering how language is such a big part of our cultural identity and therefore shapes our perception of the world around us, the media we consume, creating dialects and language barriers, that I would love to know what growing up in the clergy, especially as a part of the bloodline, could look like. I imagine it's hard to find a sense of personal identity or perhaps make you cling to the bits that you do know about (Secondo speaking Italian in Papaganda despite it being promotional) but it also serves to make you more sensitive to the way other people might be shaped by their upbringing (which I think we can see in Terzo).

I finished the album and guys...I had a full on orgasm at Umbra. HOLY SHIT! Every single song had that beautiful 80s sound that I adore and Umbra used it in such a way that it got a reaction out of me that I never thought a song could.
