Papa V in 4K

[cowbell-ghuleh]

The second time I've done a spider themed Papa V.

The spider webs weren't part of the original idea. But I felt the piece needed something else...

Detail shots below the cut.

V Headcanon design bits (ig)

Little rant: I headcanon that V and Copia’s dad was a ghoul, yet only V got the ghoul genes, which is why Copia looks and acts much more humanoid than his fuckass creature of a brother. Maybe this is why they were separated at birth too. His heritage makes V look different from other humans in the Ministry (taller, lankier stature, fangs, pointy ears, tail and wings (occasionally). Maybe he can shapeshift a bit as well, who knows

Anyways, I fucking love this critter so much

🎶He will tremble the nations

Kingdoms rot to the floor

Victim to fall for temptations

If he could just get through the door🎶

PAPA V HEADCANNONS 🗣️🦇

His biggest idol is Terzo

V only recently found out Copia was his twin

Went all his life thinking Terzo was his youngest older brother

He is younger than Copia by 6 seconds, something C likes to remind him

Bats are his comfort animal

He has a pet bat called Batricia. Hes not good with names . . .

He's not actually a vampire but he likes to trick ppl into thinking he is

He did gymnastics and acrobatics as a kid

He likes to hang upside down like a bat

He has a bar on his bedroom ceiling that he hangs from often

He's not much of a talker and likes to keep himself to himself

Unless you mention bats. Then he doesn't shut up.

Has no video game experience but absolutely thrashes Copia on any multiplayer game

He comes first in Mario cart ever time

V always plays as Baby Boo

He's a BIG cryer

He's a massive mitski fan and often just sits in his room and cries to her songs

He cries at every movie he's ever watched

His favourite movie franchise is Pitch Perfect, closely followed by Mean Girls

He's very slow when it comes to jokes

It takes him about 2-5 business days to get the joke

And then he'll laugh to himself about it and then realise he doesn't get the joke

His favourite colour is purple (bc its Terzos favourite colour too)

He has a Kuromi plush that he talks out all his feelings to

He's a very messy eater

He doesn't shut his mouth when he eats and he smacks his lips

No one wants to sit with him at lunch.

Craves Copia's validation and is easily upset by Copia's dislike of him

He's a big people pleaser but can recognise when he's being used

Hes a big roof climber

When he's missing the first place people look is the chapel roof

He can't open doors because he refuses to take his giant ass gloves off

He paints his nails but it's always messy around the edges

He hates coffee.

But he is an avid black tea drinker

His hair is naturally black

Copia hates that he's gone grey while V doesn't have a single grey hair on his body

Copia is adamant V dyes his hair

He doesn't, he's just blessed with good genetics

Papa V Theories

A reflection, Papa V has moonish vibes. What lights up the moon? A reflection of the sun. He follows Copia, whose colour scheme very much matched the sun, as did his songs. What if Papa V is a mix and a reflection of all the good and bad the papas had? I have this whole feeling that Perpetua is just them all living on through him. I've had a whole conversation with my roommate about him. He has something of everyone else before him. He has Primo's glittery robe front, Secondo's staff, Terzo's purple and claws and Copia's chest jewelry and cape style. Looking at his face, he has similar eye structure as Primo, the same nose as Secondo, some of Terzo's face paint, and Copia's lip style. Or maybe I was staring at this for too long. 

Perpetua is Latin, pulled from "perpetuus" which meanings "everlasting" or "eternal". So in my mind it's going "they all live on through him".

@ourfatherwhoartinhell I know you mentioned something about him not really knowing he was in the satanic ministry and there's a saint with the same name who wrote The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity which was a journal that told the story of her trial and imprisonment along with other Christians, including Felicity who was a pregnant slave. What does my mind do with that information? Papa V is a reincarnation of her and doesn't realize that he's in the wrong place but still has a message to spread. But what if, after she died, instead of going to heaven, something happened and she was sent to hell? What if Satan gave her a second chance because she was wronged and reincarnated her? Who knows

Now these are just my silly little thoughts, I'm sure they'll change as we get more of our new Papa, the new album and when I see him live in concert.

[damagedghoulette]

Papa Perpetua

Is going to climb through a window or something fucking bizarre instead of shaking the door handle or knocking to be let in

Cause we all know Copia is stubborn and won’t let him in himself

[sparrow-olli]

Alright Ghost fans! It is THEORY TIME!! I'm mainly talking about character plot line and themes

I find it interesting that some people think Papa V Perpetua's themes and storyline will be themed around "forever" because "perpetual".

HOWEVER, Saint Perpetua was a martyr. Her diary is one of the earliest firsthand accounts of a martyrdom. She had visions of her own martyrdom, cared for her infant son and was killed in the gladiatorial ring for her christian beliefs which were different than her father's roman polytheistic beliefs.

Basically I'm wondering if Papa V Perpetua will work around some of the themes from Saint Perpetua's story.

Maybe Papa V will see visions? Or be a even more maternal/paternal figure? Maybe have a deep internal struggle between family and beliefs?

Also it is interesting to think about Saint Perpetua's last words which were, “Stand fast in the faith and love one another and do not be tempted to do anything wrong because of our sufferings.” 👀👀👀👀

TOBIAS please tell me you are cooking with these themes and this lore. I'll explode.

Feel free to join the conversation!! I have more thoughts and I must scream

[ficandkaboodle]

…And did they really just reveal this bitch’s name

On the fucking FIFTH?

[rabidbugtorpedo]

theory

what if the person perpetua is done crying over is actually sister imperator? What if sister imperator sent perpetua away, ignoring his existence entirely until he was needed.

or the person in the music video is perpetuas ex lover which GOD DAMN HES GOT GAME.
