So, this is my first time posting something here so sorry if it looks bad or something 😭.
Terzo is comforted by Omega after being dragged off stage (Specifically, based on this fanart) Enjoy! :)
-----------------------------------------------------------
After the ritual
Well, to say that Terzo had it easy would be a lie. Maybe he had some privileges in his life, but that doesn't take away the mental pain he had to endure.
Nihil was never a good father, or rather, he was never really a father at all. He was always absent. In what? Nobody knew, he was just not there, so it fell to Primo, the eldest of the three Emeritus brothers, to raise the other two: Secondo and, of course, Terzo.
Very young, Terzo had to give up most of his freedoms as he was practically forced to become a Cardinal and prepare for when he would inherit the Papacy. Although he couldn’t care less, he would still go to parties, live recklessly, and sleep around with any sister (and sometimes brother) of sin. He didn’t realize it, but he had wasted his moments of freedom, spending them on fleeting pleasures instead of seeking things that could have given him longer-lasting joy (and happiness).
Time passed, Primo’s era, Opus Eponymous, came to an end. He was there, he saw how everyone applauded his older brother, saw how they screamed his name… Saw how the Papacy was passed to his other older brother: Secondo. He watched how the Infestissuman era was a huge success.
With that came even more pressure. Sister Imperator was on him constantly, boasting about what his brothers had done and telling him that he had to do the same… or better. All of this pushed him further into partying and sleeping with anyone who would have him.
Once again, time passed faster than he expected, and the Infestissuman era ended. That was the worst and, at the same time, best day of his life.
The entire day he was anxious, thinking about what would happen, how he would do it, his papal painting, his outfit—it all stressed him out. Adding the pressure of basically the entire ministry, nothing sat well with him… And while everyone told him they expected the best from him, that they hoped he would do well, and other such things, there was someone who said more than that. Omega, a Ghoul he hadn’t interacted with much beyond casual meetings or formal greetings, noticed how tense he was. He approached Terzo and told him he knew he would do well, and even offered his help if anything went wrong.
Those words, as simple as they were, were everything Terzo needed—they were the push he needed. And once the ritual was over, Terzo approached the Ghoul to ask for his opinion. Such a simple interaction was enough to make both hearts beat for each other.
Who would have thought? A Ghoul and a human. But can you blame them? To Omega, Terzo was the most magnificent man, a complete flirt, a total seducer, someone who was more than what he appeared to be. And to Terzo, Omega was the first to see him not as a Papa, not as an Emeritus, but as Terzo—who he truly was.
Terzo finally felt he had someone to succeed for, something (beyond the Papacy) to stand out for, and he certainly did. Meliora and Popestar were huge successes; he even won a Grammy, a damn Grammy! (Which he wouldn’t stop bragging about, by the way).
Everything was going great… or so it appeared.
What seemed like a normal tour, what seemed like a normal concert, ended with Terzo’s worst fear.
While he was singing Monstrance Clock, some men entered and dragged him offstage. He was confused and scared—what was happening? Why was it happening?
And while all those thoughts raced through his mind, Omega quickly ran after them.
— “Let him go!” he shouted as he chased after them, but was stopped by another voice. A voice of superior command.
— “Omega,” Someone spoke in a serious tone. “Return to where you were.” Omega turned, and to his surprise, there was Nihil. And with no choice, Omega complied, returning to his place.
The minutes were torturous; Omega couldn’t stop thinking about Terzo—what had happened to him? How was he? Why had they taken him like that?
Finally, Nihil left, and Omega ran backstage. As he arrived, he saw Sister Imperator leaving with the men who had taken Terzo offstage. Once they were out of sight, the next thing he saw was Terzo, his makeup ruined from evident crying while his shoulders trembled… Poor, poor Papa.
— “Terzo?” Omega asked with concern as he approached him. “Amore, what happened?” he asked again, kneeling to be at his level and get a better look at him. His heart broke seeing Terzo’s tear-filled, swollen eyes and his makeup a total mess.
Terzo remained silent for a moment, his gaze lost while his mind replayed all the bad memories of the past, his insecurities… His feeling of not being enough. He felt Omega take his hands, and he let out a small, tired laugh.
— “Oh, Omega,” he said softly. “Sister really has… a way with words, doesn’t she?” He added, his face scrunching up again as he began to sob. “Foolish of me to think I was doing things right!” he exclaimed, pulling his hands away from Omega’s and bringing them to his head, starting to hit himself rather harshly. “Stupid, stupid, stupid!” he repeated.
Omega quickly reacted, grabbing his hands firmly, trying to stop him from hurting himself further. Terzo looked at him, then at their hands, and finally collapsed forward, letting Omega catch him in his arms, which the Ghoul quickly did, wrapping his arms around the fragile Terzo without saying a word. There was no need to speak—now was not the time. He knew all Terzo needed was his presence, his comfort, and that could be given in ways other than words.
When it was time to head back to the hotel, neither wanted to be apart. Omega didn’t care what anyone else said or thought; he carried Terzo bridal style the whole way. Terzo felt a bit embarrassed being seen as "weak" by others, but now he didn’t care much. All he wanted was to rest.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally arrived at the hotel. Omega gently laid Terzo on the bed, noticing how delicate he still seemed and deciding it was best to care for him, at least for the night.
—“Would you like to take a bath?” he asked gently.
—“Yes… I think a bath would do me good…” Terzo replied, his voice still dull and his expression still lost.
Omega nodded and went to the bathroom. He kept it simple, running a bath of warm water to help him relax. After making sure the temperature was right, he went back for his beloved.
As he approached the bed, he saw Terzo lying there, crying and hugging a pillow.
—“Terzo…” Omega sighed softly, sitting beside him.
— “I was a fool to think I was doing well… Stupid, stupid, stup—” Terzo was interrupted by Omega.
— “Terzo, no. You did wonderfully, there’s no reason—”
— “Then why did they take me offstage?” he asked, clutching the pillow tighter. “Sister told me, I had my chance and blew it. It’s time for someone else to take my place and do a better job. Primo did well, Secondo did well, they had their era, they closed their era! And I… I don’t know!” he exclaimed in frustration, this time squeezing the pillow hard.
The next thing Terzo felt was Omega’s hand on his face, wiping away the tears streaming down his cheek.
— “Amore…” Omega spoke softly. “I don’t know how you feel; no one expected this to happen. But just because it happened doesn’t take away your achievements…” he said carefully as he continued to wipe Terzo’s tears. “You did great things as the Pope of the Clergy, and even greater things as the leader of Ghost. You won a Grammy! Do you remember how happy Primo and Secondo were for you? They celebrated you all night.” Terzo chuckled softly, recalling how that night had gone, how much fun he had with his brothers, his family. “You know Sister is harsh with her words, and… and you know that most of what she says is nonsense. You were a good leader, and no one or nothing can change that. You can ask anyone—the Ghouls, the brothers and sisters of the ministry, the fans… your brothers… They’ll all tell you that you were an excellent leader. You don’t have to let Sister get in your head and make you think otherwise. You know how she is…”
Silence fell in the room once more, but this time, Terzo let go of the pillow and threw himself into his Ghoul’s arms, hugging him tightly as more tears streamed down his face.
— “Thank you, Omega…” Terzo thanked him. “Thank you for reminding me of the best part of all this…” At this, Omega looked at him somewhat confused. “Meeting you…” Terzo responded before planting a kiss on his cheek.
They stayed like that for a while longer, waiting for Terzo to stop crying so much and regain some composure. Once he did, Omega took him to the bathroom, where a nice warm bath awaited him. Although the initial plan was for only Terzo to bathe, he insisted Omega join him, and well, who was he to resist?
They bathed together, but it wasn’t anything lustful, nothing inappropriate, no hidden intentions—just quality time together, time to comfort Terzo, time to reminisce about the old days and celebrate the ones to come, time to celebrate what they had been and what they would be. Although neither wanted to leave the warm bath, they had to, as it was getting late, and after such a long night, sleep would do them both good.
Finally, there they were, lying in bed, the covers pulled up over them. Terzo lay with his back against Omega, who held him protectively around the waist, afraid that someone might take him away from him again.
Terzo was still anxious, still quite afraid of the future, afraid that his brothers would be disappointed in him, afraid of what awaited him in the ministry when they returned, afraid that everyone would forget who he had been as the leader of Ghost. But now none of that mattered... What mattered was that he was with Omega, his Ghoul, the first (besides his brothers) to see him for who he really was, Terzo, who had seen him at his lowest, who had comforted him in those moments. Right now, nothing else mattered to him except being with Omega, holding him, sleeping by his side, because he knew that no matter what happened, Omega would always be there for him, and that night filled with emotions had been proof of it.

In response to the other anon and you
Such a great observation i never would’ve reconnected thoses dots.
It is true. On stage Louis more reserved and the in person very easy going. And harry opposite. But harry has now reached A list level of fame. That’s really high. He’s reconginzable EVERYWHERE yet he still likes to go out by himself and feel normal and do normal people things. So now in response to you Marte
What if it’s a bunch of things. I feel like those two are too complex it’s always something 😭😭 but
I genuinely feel like Harry just likes to do outdoorsy things and is now seeing how popular he’s gotten. He’s mainstream now. Grammy awarded winner. He knows now he can’t go out without being stopped there’s no peace no rest for him. He has to uphold an image and so he can’t fully be his natural self and will always have his gruad up. We know that joke about him having a sixth sense when it comes to people recording him. I think BASICALLY
- he’s recongzing how big he is and now there’s really a limit to what he can and can’t do outdoors. He’s always known this. But now he’s gotten BIGGER. Even if he wants to ignore the truth….. it’s inevitable.
And I know he feels this way bcos that interview with Zane Lowe I think where he spoke about being somewhere and like the world didn’t know where he was blah blah and he liked that.
Timothy Chalmet I know I messed up his name but he’s an American actor. There was a video of a girl talking about how tim came in a café with a mask….. he chose to sit down but then began to look around as he dropped his mask. Hesitant at first but he did it. What happend after 😭😭😭😭 a fan is like “are you TC?” And ask for a picture.
Shortly after he leaves the store.
All they want is privacy and when out reach that status you crave normalcy at the end of the day.
One time katty Perry was excited bcos a waitress was aruging with her over the bill and they didn’t know who she was so it made her happy to be treated normally.
Like WOW. Im not refuting your claim that his image plays a role, that is true. But two things can be true at once and I think he may appear that way in public simply bcos his fame has skyrocketed and hes prolly on edge for the picture taking , asking OF the pictures, having to decline and how they react well. He wants to be normal but his pockets are far from it. I also think that’s what makes him humble. Ah I miss harry Marte.
I’m a 2015 Larry at heart but i get why so many love the fetus era. They were small, in their own world(PUBLICLY) , being themselves. They’ll NEVER get that back. And it sucks, truly.
Hi, anon!
Harry's been in the spotlight since he was 16. He's been sourrounded by bodyguards for events since then. He can't go alone to very public places without running into fans. It's been like that since he was 16. Having said that, Harry knows exactly where he can go unseen, unspotted and unbothered and where he can't go. There are loads of places he can go and be left alone. So everytime we see him out and about he 1) either don't mind being spotted or 2) is out and about to intentionally be seen out and about.
I also think that you fail to consider that H isn't a random person, he's a celebrity who lives and thrives on attention. There is an element of narcissism to it, H has said so himself, but it's an ego-boost everytime he is pictured by a fan or asked for an autograph. There are also measures he can take in order to secure his privacy and security, and he has done that to the level he wants to.
There is also a difference between wanting privacy, and wanting normalcy and be treated like everybody else. Being a celebrity means giving up some of your privacy, and they're okay with that because they love the attention it brings them. I get that they miss to be able to go to a store like a normal person, but being a celebrity also has it perks where you often get special treatment and advantages. Celebrities who starts to crave normalcy, more than being a celebrity and the perks that beings, usually ends up retiring and leaving the limelight.

Today's compilation:
Baby Boomer Classics: Dance Sixties 1985/1988 R&B / Soul / Rock & Roll
Marking my return to my glorious music blog with a whole batch of feet-movin' classics from yesteryear. Here we have Dance Sixties, a dispatch from the California-based JCI label's Baby Boomer Classics series that gives us a brief glimpse into some old, uptempo gold.
But before we get right into it, there's a couple things that need addressing: firstly, there is more than one iteration of this comp that's floating around out there. The original one came out in 1985, and then a newer version surfaced a few years afterwards that replaced a couple tracks. And what I have here is a combination of both of those albums.
And second—and I don't know how on earth I keep running into such fundamental errors with releases like these—this album purports to be comprised of nothing but 60s dance hits, but that's not entirely true. For example, Ike & Tina Turner's Grammy-winning cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary" is not a 60s song. It was recorded and released in 1970. It's a terrifically infectious R&B number and all, but it really has no business being on this release.
Speaking of covers, though, this overall selection is pretty interesting, because a whole bunch of these songs were actually made more famous by other people. And in a couple of cases, those artists who made those songs more famous are on here, but the songs that they supply are different hits.
For instance, this album's excellently noisy closer, Cannibal & The Headhunters' #30 US hit, "Land of 1000 Dances"—which is actually a cover in and of itself of Chris Kenner's 1962 version—was made far more famous by Wilson Pickett. But Wilson Pickett's offering here is another one of his biggest hits, "In the Midnight Hour," which happens to kick off this whole Dance Sixties affair.
And the same goes for Aretha Franklin too. It would've been perfectly understandable for her cover of Otis Redding's "Respect" to be on here, as it's one of the single-most important entries in the American songbook, with both its soundtracking of the civil rights movement throughout the late 60s and its assertive reversal of traditional gender roles in its lyrics; but it's Otis' original that appears on here, while Aretha's also sublime "Think" is supplied as well.
And to the untrained ear, one might think that there's another Aretha song on here too: "Rescue Me," which was by the unfairly blackballed Fontella Bass, but has been assumed by many over the years to have been an Aretha song itself, so much so, that Aretha actually performed it in an ad for Pizza Hut back in the day as "Deliver Me" 😭.
How can you not get a kick out of this silly shit?!:
youtube
And another song that people often confuse for being by a different act is The Knickerbockers' "Lies," a mid-60s burner by a garage band from New Jersey that sounds an awful lot like The Beatles!
OK, a couple more things before I sign off here: it's ultimately hard for me to pick a favorite among all of these tunes, but I think it might have to be The Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man," which has the same name as a song by Bo Diddley that was also famously covered by The Yardbirds, but is actually a completely different composition. In truth, the star of the Spencer Davis Group was not Spencer Davis himself—the only real reason why they decided to go with that name in the first place seems to be because no one else in the band was keen on doing interviews and press junkets, and it was assumed that the group's namesake would naturally have to be the one to fulfill those duties 😅. Undoubtedly, the one who shone most brightly in this band was a teenaged Steve Winwood, who possessed a distinctly powerful voice and was a total monster on the Hammond organ too. And on "I'm a Man," which comes with a whole lot of different bits of percussive rhythms and howling backing vocals, Steve manages to energetically strut it all.
And for a tune that's a bit more obscure than a lot of the rest of these, there's one-hit wonder Pacific Gas & Electric's "Are You Ready," a psychedelic soul-rock groover that was criminally left off of the 1988 version of this comp. This tune, like Ike & Tina Turner's "Proud Mary," was also released as a single in 1970, but because it originated from PG&E's self-titled album from the year prior, I'm willing to not lodge a complaint about it. If you love a song with a good, extended guitar solo that uses a delayed echo in one of its channels, then boy, is this #14 US hit worth a listen for you! Really fantastic stuff.
Happy to be back with a high-quality crop of songs such as this. I don't know what the rest of this big series has in store, but if it's anything like this particular release, then I'm definitely looking forward to it. An album where I don't even get to fawn over a personal favorite like Jackie Wilson's "Higher & Higher" should give you a good indication of just how top-notch this whole thing really is. A very well-put-together compilation, even if not every song on it is actually from the decade that it claims to represent 😅.
Highlights:
Wilson Pickett - "In the Midnight Hour" Ike & Tina Turner - "Proud Mary" Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels - "Devil With the Blue Dress On / Good Golly Miss Molly" Eddie Floyd - "Knock On Wood" Fontella Bass - "Rescue Me" Jackie Wilson - "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher & Higher" Rare Earth - "Get Ready" Spencer Davis Group - "I'm a Man" Knickerbockers - "Lies" Aretha Franklin - "Think" Otis Redding - "Respect" Pacific Gas & Electric - "Are You Ready" Archie Bell & The Drells - "Tighten Up" Cannibal & The Headhunters - "Land of 1000 Dances"

Hello! You're my favorite kaylor&gaylor blog. And I have to ask: ​in your opinion what's the most likely reason she had to give toe a grammy??? I thought she really valued grammy but this sleight of hand....😭😭
Thank you for those kind words anon! 🥲💜🎄
Your question is one many of us in this corner of the interweb have wondered. I have two rambly theories that intersect.
Theory 1: this was part of an artist-wide plan to expose the hole in the voting process. I feel like we have watched for years (decades even) as the recording academy snubbed various artists. We also saw a huge shift in the industry over fair compensation and recognition for all those who worked on an album. I think Taylor agreed to be part of a plan to expose the recording academy’s flawed system. And choosing someone like her to do it when she has benefitted so much from that award show is smart pull. It’s one of the reasons why I think Taylor sharing the Beyoncé floral arrangement was something more than what it was. Beyoncé stopped supporting the grammys years ago but she came literally just for her and Meg’s award then left. Whatever is going on behind the scenes I think it was major artists and top producers planning to taint the public’s view of the award show more explicitly.
Theory 2: now Taylor doesn’t do anything career-wise just because someone asked. She and her team work hard to make sure whatever comes of it it is a mutually beneficial arrangement. I think she saw crediting JA as a pr move for solidifying her fake relationship as well as a way to show how easy it is to credit people who don’t deserve it so they can get a trophy. But mostly it legitimizes a relationship when she can’t pap walk during a pandemic. There was also probably pressure from JA’s team who realized that this arrangement wasn’t benefitting him either. For the record JA still isn’t credited on the copyright. So most of what Taylor did feels like it was for public perception rather than reality.
These theories intersect in a weird way because from the outside looking in all taylor did was give people like scootscoot the right to throw their name on an artist (they basically own)’s song credits when they did absolutely nothing artistically to deserve it so they can get a trophy and maybe even cut into the royalty distribution. This to me runs completely counter to her position during her billboard woman of the decade speech. In that speech and in many discussions she has said private equity is killing artists and we need to find a way to credit creators fairly. Because without artists there is no money for the private equity folks to take. But maybe it is part of a long game to show that it’s never been about art or talent it’s about who has enough money and power to get the recording academy to ignore everything else. The grammys is an award show. Most of it is about ensuring viewership. And many major artists don’t go unless they are guaranteed a win because they know the Grammy’s use their appearance to boost viewership from their fandoms. It’s a weird power dynamic. Maybe this is all just a way to open the public’s eyes so they realize they have the power to change this kind of stuff. As the consumer you are what all these rich people need in order to stay rich.
This is very rambly because I really don’t know. All I know is that her reason for doing it really messed up my entire view of her pr and the value of her art to her. She gave it away to a non-artist like it meant nothing to her. Maybe folklore and evermore really meant nothing to her. Maybe it was just a fun little pastime she didn’t care to lose. Idk. But for someone like me who can laugh at all the pr because I love the art and the artist, it made this tough.
Idk what is happening behind the scenes but we saw taylor swift and friend’s nominations for Olivia Rodrigo’s song removed after it was announced. So it definitely feels like it’s still a work in progress. Maybe they should cancel the show all together. Lol Idk.
But yeah that’s what I think. Sorry this is so long. I hope it makes some sense lol
