THIRTY-ONE DAYS OF GHOST ⛧ DAY ONE
first song you heard — Mary On A Cross
September 1969; Papa Nihil and the beginning of the Ghost Project take to the stage at the Whiskey a Go Go club in Los Angeles, under the watchful eye of Sister Imperator. Fifty-three years later, in Tampa, Florida, Papa Emeritus the Fourth performs Mary On A Cross, unaware that he is singing the story of his parents—and that of himself.
#user copia gfx#note: i'm aware this song is about so much more than the fictional ghost story. just really enjoying that aspect of it rn#very nearly didn't do this series because some people are a bit silly about fans who heard moac as the first song. i'm owning it sdkjcksh#it wasn't the song that made me a fan as i will show in the next post but moac slaps so hard and#if you only like moac and nothing else you're still a ghestie to me <3#not my fault i was on instagram in autumn of 2022#i was going through some stuff then and listening to clips of this pretty song on random videos was something i enjoyed#didn't know the name of it or who sung it but kept hearing it at 4am when i couldn't sleep and everything was falling apart around me#when all i could do was try to escape it until the morning#i feel a bit stupid saying this but when i listen to it now and remember hearing it back then#it's like ghost was there for me even when i didn't know it#waiting for me to find them and everything their music would teach me#until the time was right#ghost31#papa emeritus iv#the band ghost#papa nihil#sister imperator#mary on a cross#user copia edits#user copia all tag#wait for the next tags i'm also tagging:#rite here rite now spoilers#i'm emotional about their messed up little family finding each other right at the very end. they never let each other go#flashing gif#<- ig

Alleluja Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
arcanam chordam audio icisse David Domino sed musica jam nichil refert tua sic procedit carmen modulis minoribus, altissimis confusus rex cecinit Alleluja
Alleluja, Alleluja Alleluja, Alleluja
egebat fides indicio se lavabat in solario cujus forma te pervertit subter luna tibi vinxit funes validos crines rasit regios ex labris tuis traxit Alleluja
Alleluja, Alleluja Alleluja, Alleluja
#latin#languages#translation#more verses to follow...#leonard cohen#translator's notes:#hebrew names tend to be unchanged and indeclinable in latin so that's why david doesn't look accusative#i've used a more medieval spelling here because of the biblical references - though obviously they're not actually christian references#i've also drawn from the vulgate for some of the phrasing in the second verse#'tibi vinxit funes' for 'te vinxit funibus' is a bit questionable but i claim poetic licence#the 'the fourth the fifth' lines were hard - i went with something like 'the song continues like this with minor and uplifted intervals'#also note the construction 'nihil rēfert tuā' i can't say i've seen it anywhere but my dictionary cites Plautus Curculio 3.25

Whelp it's official. 45 is now 47. Which is a fucking tragedy for all the people living on this earth, all the animals, and the earth itself.
All we can do now is try to fight. Don't give up. Don't resign yourself to societal collapse. Don't let these rich fuckers get away with doing this to our country and the world. Find a cause close to you, and give what you can of yourself to it, whether that's time volunteering and/or money. Learn survival skills just in case. Probably a good idea to learn a martial art as well. Just don't give up.
Don't. Give. Up.

Lately, I’ve started to wonder how things might’ve turned out had Terzo not ascended to the antipapacy. Like, I’m not sure he necessarily had much of a choice given it appears to be largely dynastic in organization but what if he had more of a say and it? What if he said no thanks, I think my use is best served elsewhere? And he stayed with Bishop Necropolitus…They can’t bring Meliora in its entirety to life, but they can work together to make the world around them just a bit more beautiful for people who’ve felt like them…I wonder if things could’ve been different. Better.
And then I stop.
#the band ghost#papa emeritus iii#terzo emeritus#bishop necropolitus cracoviensis#terzopolitus#*sighs wistfully*#you know…the irony is that something meant to do good for others seems to do harm on the front runners#(this isn’t an argument against Satanism/the brand that Ghost portrays)#(it’s just noting…the pursuit of legacy; of power; of beauty; of fame; of stability#whatever Sister or Nihil or any of the Emeritus brothers sought#it comes at the consequence of their …well. I guess happiness or health is the summation#maybe there’s an argument to be had about learning when faith should be involved and when the faith of the self should take control

I think reading lemony snicket at the wrong age in the wrong mindset is terrible for you.
I think reading lemony snicket at the right age with the right mindset is the best thing to happen to a person.
#Hyperbole but you get my point.#Listen ik they’re childrens books but I feel you get infinitely more out of them if you’re just slightly above the age range#Then again the story TECHNICALLY ends on an uplifting note with a mild (severe) implication that they all die#ANYWAY. Other people are afflicted by ‘Snicket nihilism without Snicket whimsy’ I’m sure#Asoue#atwq#lemony snicket

Really glad we have the current Sister Imperator. I can't really imagine anyone else as her, and imo she looks the most like the younger version of Sister

We cannot accept what's happening around us. Those fed up with the way things are and resolved to fight for liberation already know as much. Yet, in order to achieve liberation, even those is use ready to fight have to get certain things out of the way. . .
“There's no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.”
. . . There are structures, apparatuses, and institutions that need to feel the fire of our collective rage . . .
“Hurry comrade, shoot the policeman, the judge, the boss. Now, before a new police prevent you . . . Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you.”
. . . But the are also boundaries drawn within us, within our ideas of who we are, that must be crossed . . .
“. . . we’ll go a little bit further together until you too perhaps turn your back on me, because I’m laughing in your face.”
. . . In order to achieve liberation, we will have to overcome the stories we've told ourselves about how wars like this are won . . .
“You are waiting for the revolution? Let it be! My own began a long time ago! When you are ready (god, what an endless wait!) I won’t mind going with you for a while. But when you stop, I shall continue on my way toward the great and sublime conquest of the nothing!”
. . . If those stores and strategies were as effective in practice as we imagine, we would have already triumphed.
–William C. Anderson, “The Nation On No Map: Black Anarchism and Abolition” (2021) (with additional commentary)

a dude my ma works with at amazon died of a stroke on the job because they force them to work in hot conditions and they refused him water. they bring in modified temperature readers so they can say "see, it's a safe temperature in here, all up to code uwu" but someone snuck in their own temp reader and it was much hotter than they claim it is.
it was ninety degrees Fahrenheit. heavy lifting for several hours at a time, no water, in 90 degree loading docks.
stop fucking using amazon. or at the very least, fucking unionize.
#amazon#anti capitalism#fuck amazon#liz blogs#i am so relentlessly pissed off#stop accepting corporate nihilism. stop letting them get away with it. stop prioritizing convenience over human fucking decency#i have so many horror stories about amazon i am not fucking shopping there anymore#i mean i already have hardly shopped at amazon for years. i only buy a couple things there because i can't find them anywhere else#i am done. i am over it. no fucking more. amazon can eat my fucking ass#things aren't going to get better if people don't start giving a shit. i am giving a shit.#they treat my mom bad. they treat their workers bad. people are dying.#people are striking left and right. shitty unregulated chinese companies are stealing from people who can't fight back en-mass.#can't fucking do it anymore man. i am so mad.#on that note if you shop on temu/wish/shein/etc fucking block me.
