☀️Summer Solstice at the Ministry☀️

All of the congregation is invited to watch the sunrise and attended an outdoor mass honoring the solar demons and Satan’s love for nature

Newlyweds, engaged couples, and people with new children are given special blessings

Family friendly events are held throughout the day, including a maypole, flower crown weaving, a small bonfire to burn petitions, live music, lots of dancing, and face painting

Clergy (including ghouls) and congregation are encouraged to mingle

Primo decorates the place with flowers from his garden and greenhouse with them help of the earth ghouls

Food is provided, but members are encouraged to bring something to share as well

Family events end an hour before sunset. Once the sun is down, it becomes a 21+ event.

Another mass is held honoring fertility, love, sensuality, autonomy, and lust

A large bonfire is lit, another maypole is danced, and drinks are served

It’s not uncommon for some clothes to be lost in the celebration process

A lucky Solstice Couple is chosen to represent the sun and the earth

After midnight, the party winds down and people retire for the night (usually paired up)

Hope you all had a wonderful summer solstice/winter solstice depending on where you live! All love ❤️❤️❤️

Each night brings new terror, and we’re running out of ways to survive.

While the world talks about Iran and Israel,

we are here… hungry, scared, and stuck under bombs every night.

The airstrikes don’t stop, and people die every day

even those who wait for hours and days hoping for a little food.

They don’t make it home… and we don’t know if we will.

We’re doing all we can to survive, and we’re so grateful for those who have helped.

But it’s still not enough. We have no income, no work, no way to buy anything.

All the basics we need cost more than 30 times what they used to.

We only have your donations to stay alive.

Please — if you’re reading this, don’t forget us.

Even a tiny bit can save a life tonight.

➡️ Donate. Comment. Reblog. Share this.

Maybe your voice is the one that finally breaks through.

Maybe your help is the one that saves a family tonight.

Vetted!!!

I FORGOT TO POST IT

[menace-y]

So this took me like a year to finish since I was working on it on and off. I know I already did a paintless Terzo edit, but it wasn't very accurate and I'm nothing if not an overachiever. But here it is.

I present:

The Most Accurate Paintless Terzo.

I win. Bye.

(No reposting this anywhere, AT ALL. I've had too many people steal my Ghost edits.)

What is he thinking about 🤔

Fun reminder

Copia canonically CAN do ballet

I've been thinking about Copia and Perpetua giving each other nice gifts for their shared birthday. If you wanna write something like that, it'd melt my heart, thank you <3

oh this is such a cute prompt!! thank you for sending it, this was really fun to write.

-

his birthday is, all things considered, an awful occasion. it’s not something to look forward to, nor something to be celebrated- in fact, if everyone forgot all about it, Perpetua would be far happier just letting it pass in quiet mundanity.

but he’s Papa now. so that doesn’t happen.

Haze knows his preferences, of course, so her gift- a hand-crafted mirror with a spelled backing that will let him see himself and make putting his paint on easier- is given to him in the anonymity of his bedroom.

but that’s the only peace he’s afforded, because a Papa’s birthday is a special occasion that the whole church needs to celebrate. there’s a party planned later that he needs to preside over, and a ritual sacrifice of some of the unholy goats they keep, and the whole thing just makes him want to go back to bed and miss it all.

his birthday was never celebrated in the orphanage. and when it was, it was the older children mocking him for ever thinking someone would go through the trouble of getting him a gift.

so there’s really only one reason Perpetua hasn’t put his foot down and shut himself in his chambers, and it’s the fact that it isn’t only his birthday.

he’s standing in front of Frater Imperator’s office with a small wrapped package in his hands, having knocked at least a minute beforehand and gotten no reply. hesitantly, he knocks again, a bit louder.

“Frater? do you have a moment?”

there’s another long pause. Perpetua is sure he’s in there- he can hear the scribbling of a pen across paper and someone breathing- but perhaps he’s too busy to take a visitor. or he just doesn’t want to see this particular one.

both seem equally likely.

he’s turning to go when Copia’s voice comes from inside the office, barely audible.

“come in.”

Perpetua pushes the door open and enters, noting that his brother looks like he hasn’t slept in a few days. there’s dark circles around his eyes that rival those of his facepaint and a specific sheen of grease in his hair that means it’s been a while since Copia had a shower.

he knows because his own hair does the same thing.

“forgive the interruption,” Perpetua says, and Copia looks up at him with a start, as if he hadn’t realized who had entered his office until that point.

“it’s you.”

“…it’s me.”

they stare at each other for a long moment.

“I thought you would be celebrating,” Copia says eventually, glancing away.

“I could say the same of you.”

“bah-“ his brother tosses his head. “too much to do.”

Perpetua chuckles.

“always.”

silence between them again. Copia’s gaze falls to the wrapped package in Perpetua’s hands and he squints.

“is that…”

“it’s just a little thing” he hurries to say and goes to put it on Copia’s desk. his brother reaches out for it after a moment, as if it might bite him. when it doesn’t come to life, he takes it in his hands and carefully undoes the wrapping.

the wooden box inside opens to reveal the head of a cane: a rat with teeth bared, carved from wood, with eyes inlaid with star sapphires.

Copia just looks at it for a long moment before he looks back at Perpetua, face unreadable.

“…it’s lovely.”

he thinks there’s a note of genuine thankfulness in his brother’s voice and feels a smile break out across his face.

“i’m glad you like it. I won’t keep you long, we’re both… busy.”

Perpetua turns on his heel towards the door, nearly back out into the hallway before he hears Copia call out after him. he stops, looking back at his brother, to find that there’s yet another plain wrapped package sitting on the desk.

“…Frater?”

“it’s just a little thing,” Copia mumbles, looking away again. Perpetua has to stop himself from running across the room to take it.

inside is a bottle of lotion, expensive looking, with a label in french that he cannot read. he looks up at Copia, questioning.

“it’s for your skin,” Copia explains, unable to look Perpetua in the eye. “the paint, it… dries out your skin. if it’s- if yours is anything like mine, anyway. this is what I use. used.”

“thank you, fratello.”

he can’t stop the word from crossing his lips, though it makes them both flinch.

is this what it was to have a brother? someone whose hair greased in the way yours did when they went too long without a shower? someone who wondered if you had dry skin after painting your face night after night?

someone to get you a gift on your birthday?

Perpetua wouldn’t know. he’d never had one before.

but this was nice.
