Papa V Perpetua. PERPETUA?!?!

Hey! We've started posting our new multi-chapter fic about Terzo and Copia that we've been working on for the past six months. Unwittingly, it has become an alternative to the RHRN storyline, as the plot originated before the movie came out. An alternative with a lot of blood, darkness, and gore, but with an attempt to give the characters the development we think they deserve. It's called 'The Chains That Bind Us'.

Actually, this story began when V @grim-kazoo-player and I shared a sudden coincidental feeling with each other: Terzo is alive. Not as a person in lore chronology, of course. But as a complex of ideas. Ideas have a certain persistence and vitality; they outlive their bearers. As V's namesake from Alan Moore's comic said, "There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bulletproof." A little time passes, and already a whole crowd of people in identical masks goes to storm the cordons, and the English Parliament goes up in flames.

As another author we like states, the gods are alive as long as they are worshipped. Every idea created by man is fueled by belief in it. Amazingly, the Third Papa's fame has not faded even after seven years of his absence; the echo of his thunder still rumbles across the planet, igniting hearts. This sense of the uncompleteness of his story was what breathed life into this work.

The fic is written in Russian. If you don't read Russian, you can use an automatic translator. Also we are very much waiting for your comments: in Russian, in English, in Quenya (we can read runes), in any language you use. The Ghost Empire is international!

Characters: Copia, Terzo, Sister Imperator, Omega, Nameless Ghouls

Summary: The fifth era is about to end. Copia realizes that his time is coming to an end, but sees no escape from the threat looming over him. Will he suffer the same fate as his predecessors? In a moment of hard thinking about the future, a mysterious visitor bursts into his life.

I KNEW IT!! YES!!!!

HE CALLED PRIMO HIS UNCLE

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

Please... Please tell me you have more examples. Just so I don't feel insane about still clinging to this theory for dear life.

Terzo resurrection truthers I just noticed something I haven’t seen anybody mention

So in chapter 3 when the three of them are embalmed their arms are down at their sides. Here specifically is multiple shots of Terzo with his arms at his sides.

When walking through the Veneration of Relics, both Primo and Secondo’s cadavers are still in this position. Terzo’s is not (I couldn’t find images showing enough of the first two on Google so I screenshot this Tiktok).

And I don’t think I heard it back when this video was made, but people were saying his coffin and ONLY his coffin was scratched. The guy with claws on his gloves who has moved since being set in place for eternity.

My man is trying to escape but playing it cool when people are around to not get caught 😭

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.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM😂

Can't believe 3 years ago I predicted papa v

Placeholder until I finish. But what if epic 80s movie?

Who knows when I'll pick this up again, cos the technique I thought would be cool, is actually a pain in the dickens, it's bothered me every stop of the way and now I'm gonna have to fix it

Guys, I'm actually getting scared. They have all worked so hard for this tour. What if Tobias is forced to delay or even cancel concerts for safety reasons? These lunatic "fans" are out of control. We know they are not just on Twitter anymore. I feel powerless to stop this.

I'm sorry. I've been looking forward to this tour for so long like you all have. Again, I'm sorry for doom-posting. I just don't know what to do.

The band Ghost is so fucking funny to me. Their frontman currently looks like this:

Or some version of a horny goth clown, but the guy underneath it has got the wettest saddest eyes I've ever seen. Just look at him:

This man admits to being very sensitive and cries at the drop of a hat.

He has a wife and kids.

He wears the costume because he doesn't like the way he looks on stage as a rockstar.

He treats the audience like his children. They're officially called the children of Ghost for that and also because of the play on "children of god."

The band literally fucks around on stage while riffing this badass music. They go through physical comedy skits every concert like the three stooges. For example:

Two demons throw guitar picks at each other when they get angy.

One guy grinds and licks the stage like a cat in heat.

One of them shakes their tits at goth clown man and scares him shitless.

One of them twirls goth clown man like a ballerina as he dances by them.

Several of them slap goth clown's ass when he waddles by.

He created the band to make people happy, to celebrate being a fucking weirdo because he always felt left out, and to make fun of Christianity because it makes people feel bad. He lost his older brother, and it tore him up so bad that the music he made as a result launched him into a worldwide music career.

This man ends every concert "ritual" with three things:

1. Be nice to each other

2. Help each other

3. Go fuck yourself

(Literally and figuratively)

Their music is 70% "fuck me I'm so horny", 10% "I love you so much" and 20% "ethereal badass metal".

Look at how much fun he's having, dude.

It's literally just a rock band filled with the nicest people on earth wearing costumes like a Shakespearean play. And all they do is make up funny little lore stories and serve cunt.

YES! OMG THIS!

I feel for Cardi I do but… my soul breaks for the other Papas that were treated like garbage and they’re fucking dead in a plexiglass coffin.

At least Cardi has a position and he is alive!

Terzo, Secondo and Primo deserved better and much more respect.

I need a comic with their backstory + CAN WE PLEASE SEE THEM IN GHOST FORM IN CHAPTERS?????

(I do live strongly for those characters nv)
