Because I’ve seen some…questionable assumptions, it’s time for a lesson. So gather ‘round and let an ex Catholic educate you on church titles.

The one (most) people seem to get is the pope title. Popes take on a new name when they are appointed, and it’s numbered if someone had the name before. So I’m 90% sure people know Emeritus isn’t their last name. And before rising to the role of anti-pope, they would have had different names. At least I hope people understand that one. Like people weren’t calling him Terzo as a kid.

When speaking of or addressing a Cardinal with something that isn’t an honorific (Eminence or Lordship in Catholic terms), you either use their full name (Cardinal John Paul Smith) or just their LAST name (Cardinal Smith). Unless Tobias is throwing us a curveball on this one, which I highly doubt, Copia is his LAST name.

Imperitor means Commander. Sister Imperator is a twist on the Catholic Mother Superior. Mother Superior is the title given to the head of a religious community or institute. Which was Sister Imperator’s role without a doubt. Imperator was her title, not her name. Thus Frater Imperator is more or less the equivalent to Abbot. His name most definitely not Copia Imperator. His last name was Copia. Then his name was Emeritus IV. He could still use the name Emeritus or he could revert to Copia, based on the rare cases of a pope not dying in the Catholic tradition it’s his choice. But his TITLE is now Frater Imperator, just as his titles were Cardinal and Papa before.

Also, Papal names tend to be localized. So the former use of Zero instead of Nihil when he was first introduced still tracks as being the same name.

The whole ministry is a direct parody of mockery of the Catholic church. If you’re unsure about something just check out what the Catholics are doing then twist it.

this immediate love struck look at the arrival of Ayda makes me want to vomit

[wyrmwright]

the love you can't even name

[luminousstardust]

do you guys think that the meteor shower message from ayda to fig was an anniversary gift…. because it was spring break when it happened……….. and ayda could chart the stars and tell exactly when the message would be received so she wrote all of her love in the stars for her paramour and send her love even though she couldn’t be there…….. because i do.

I always find it strange when people lament that Rayla and Callum don't have much in common (implying they're a bad ship) when, to me, they're one of the most realistic portrayal of friends and lovers I've seen across various genres.

They very clearly enjoy each other's company. They have a similar quirky style of gallows humour. They like teasing each other, and they bounce ideas off each other. They fiercely love and care for their friends and family.

I mean, Callum just randomly starts spouting poetry at her, and does Rayla make fun of him or make him feel weird or self-conscious? Nope. She not only knows what he's talking about, she engages with it.

I suppose on the surface they don't have much in common. Callum loves his books and research, and Rayla’s more action orientated, but once you dig deeper, the foundation of their relationship is built on mutual admiration and respect.

And that is what's important. That's what long-lasting relationships are built on.

Your partner may not have the same taste in books or activities as you, but do they still engage with you about your interests? Do they support you indulging in them or spending time doing them? Do they respect you and your differences?

That love and support is what stands the test of time.
