Please sedate me until September because my wishes for Meliora’s anniversary are going way beyond what Ghost is actually going to do and I don’t want to end up depressed again after getting my hopes up.

do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!

There’s something haunting that won’t let me go about the fact that there was an explicit Prequelle foreshadowing in Meliora.

Does he kiss him on the lips?!

Thank you, @solsticepurgatory for finding this gem!

Have y'all seen this clip? I desperately need all of you to see it. I am on the fucking floor crying.

Here's the final rendered image! Secondo's Insignia/Grucifix - of my own design, not canon sadly.

Thanks for @dem0nteef for giving me feedback on colours and witnessing my wild rambles over the symbolism I put into it - and also suggesting symbolism to add XD She helped a bunch with the colour of the cross - I would have spent hours staring at slightly different shades if she hadn't of helped.

I've put some close-ups of some bits of it. Particularly the Ghouls as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the filigree design on the cross.

Sometimes you haven't drawn in months. And sometimes you get possessed by the spirit of some historical painter and make the best piece you've ever made. I'm super proud of this XD

Per Aspera ad Inferi and Satan Prayer! Setlist still so good!

Great addition. The notes explaining some terms used in the Ghost world are very useful and the description of each song is very interesting.

Something neat from the archives that might be of interest to all the Papa III and lore enthusiasts out there. The text was part of the promotional materials for Meliora sent out to media by the label. Words by Peter Bebergal.

Papa Emeritus III. A prologue and introduction

A decadent and hash-addicted poet once wrote, “What matters an eternity of damnation to someone who has found in one second the infinity of joy?” This is the only choice that matters. The devil’s fall came only after his great rebellion, a single and simple act of looking into the face of authority and saying, “I am glorious.” This was Satan’s ecstasy, but he embraced it knowing the punishment. Are you ready then, to join Papa Emeritus III in the pit, to proclaim your own splendor, feeling your wings melt as the last breath of the exclamation leaves your mouth?

I liked having a sort of starting point for the Papas’ personalities directly from the source, but when the Special Ghoul interviews stopped (as far as I remember), the hints about who the Papas were also stopped. I think the half mask has taken away a big part of the mystery game too, and probably TF doesn’t feel as separated from Papa anymore. He might not be able to see Papa V clearly from the outside and probably lost touch also with the other Papas. But that’s just my theory…

I read somewhere that Tobias said he doesn’t always agree with the interpretations of the Papas’ personalities during the Q&A session. Can someone report more accurately what he said?

That was quick! So he couldn’t really say what the Papas are like, since he doesn’t have a clear idea of them himself? Interesting… thank you so much for this 🖤
