Poor Baby Noooooo!😭😭

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

Tags and warnings: AU, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Bromance, Magic, Revenge, Pre-Slash, Violence, Psychology, Psychological Horror, Trauma, Psychological Trauma, Tortures, Depression, Character Study

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.

Oh Satan, that is so sweet!🥹

STOP I JUST REALISED COPIA KISSED CUMULUS ON HER HELMET AT THEIR FINAL SHOW IN THE RE-IMPERATOUR BECAUSE HE KNEW SHE WOULDN'T BE COMING BACK.

I am so glad I got upper level seats.

Did bro even wear this fit? Guys I need to know

He would be such a good father.😭

Small Child: I need help with my homework.

The Intelligent and Wordly Terzo:

What the Hell is going on? Today started so cheerful with Peacefields being released online and now the fandom is imploding?! I know that every fandom goes through this type of phase but Goddamn!

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 😭

Continuing with observations on Papa III…

What do we know about Terzo's personality? Special Ghoul described him as a nice and joyful person, but they "don't know him that well". Tobias characterized him as a frustrated old guy with "his wounds and his darkness". Tobias likes the multiple layers: he creates layered songs, layered albums and layered characters.

At one of his acoustic performances, Terzo said: "Speaking of having fun and having, you know, this is a song about maybe possibly not having. Not having everything at least. When the night is over, some of you might have someone to go home with and some of you might not have. That might not be a good thing but it can be a good thing if you are in the company of your spirits... that can keep your company in a dark hour." And at another: "This is a song about having and not having. Spirits to accompany lonely nights. In times of trouble father Roky (*Erickson) comes and speaks to me." This is a reference to the song "Let It Be" by Beatles. Here is the original text:

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be…

If you keep listening to this song, you will realize that it is very sad. And so is the person who quotes it. The one who says that in tough moments he finds solace in a musician who passed away long ago. That on lonely nights, ghosts are the only emotional support he can count on. Are they literally ghosts or are they memories of people he has lost?

It's generally accepted that Copia is the Main Sad Guy of the Ghost universe. He comes on stage and talks about depression. He has a sad face, lives with his mom, and has no friends. But what about the guy who comes on stage with a smile in his eyes to joke around and entertain the crowd? The guy who never complains, is always joyful and nice, ready to encourage you and hold your hand? The one who doesn't socialize with anyone in the band offstage, not even with the ghouls? Who knows all about having and not having and goes back to his lonely house to talk with his ghosts?
