Guys, I'm Actually Getting Scared. They Have All Worked So Hard For This Tour. What If Tobias Is Forced

Ghesties? What does this mean? It scares me.

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.

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.

The chains that bind us

There are collaborations I could never, ever say no to, so I was so thrilled to create this cover art for Цепи, что нас связывают (The chains that bind us), the new fanfiction by @blackbird5154 and @grim-kazoo-player. I highly recommend putting in a bit of effort to translate it, it’s truly worth reading, so unique and intriguing and I’m so curious to see where it will take us!

I made several versions of this artwork, and this was the chosen one which, incidentally, it’s also one of my personal favorites. Also, this version only exists because I accidentally left two layers on, and they merged to create that unexpected background.

The moral of this story teaches us that if you are not satisfied with your art, you aren’t messing around enough.

They won't stop taunting us! It's starting to hurt!😞

SOMETHING FROM LONG AGO IS COMING

SUMMONED AND RESURECTED FROM BEYOND THE VEIL

Majestic Black

#I am willing so f***ing hard right now guys!

#Please return, Terzo!

This better be resurrected Terzo

or i'll hunt Tobias for sport

This is real?! I thought this was a shitpost at first. Terzo!😂

And by the way I can’t get the Papastrello thing out of my mind.

Terzo truly was the shining and the light without whom we cannot see.

@vpyre

sorry if this reply is annoying i just love seeing peoples comments in the tags!!!! here's what i personally think:

i don't think the true mission / cause behind ghost has ever changed. Sister Imperator is evil lmao.

i think they just never told Cardi that was the goal. or perhaps he doesn't think they're really serious about wanting to bring the end of the world. either way, he doesn't seem to believe in that at all. the idea of death (his or anyone else's) is very scary and upsetting to him.

i think there has already been a Papa who believes mankind can be saved from its intellectual decline without the world needing to end, and that was Terzo. he was so hopeful for the future. and i think that's why Sister Imperator hated him so much. (i'm working on a post rn that kinda talks about this)
