Copia's Conundrum: Countess is Coping

This is an illustrated Ghost/Psychonauts crossover. It's accessible even if you're only familiar with one (or neither) of the two medias. The main story is complete, and this is the first of four bonus chapters.

Read from the beginning here.

Bonus Chapter 1: It seems so perfect!

Six months after his last trip to Lincopia, Raz runs into a certain someone at the grocery store again and decides to see how things are going.

i'll admit it doesn't really scan as the enchanted (2007) reference it started out as, but i think it's cute so there you have it.

Yesterday I went on a lil trip to see Zbigniew M. Bielak's art exhibition currently being held in Poland. Majority of it is dedicated to Ghost. I didn't capture it all on photo, but the first room has all these huuuge, beautifully printed covers and artworks from every era Bielak has contributed to, from Infestissumam to Impera, so you can marvel at all the details from up close.

There was also a section with sketches and early concepts for various Ghost (and Darkthrone, I believe) artworks. I believe some of them were shared recently on ZMB's Instagram.

What I found particularly neat was that hidden between the artworks were what seem to be e-mails from Tobias with motif suggestions for Meliora and Prequelle's art. There were also some rough ideas for Impera handwritten by Zbigniew - possibly from some kind of a brainstorming session between them?

Overall a fun exhibition for a Ghost fan to see, though I wish there was some more behind-the-scenes stuff as that's what always excites me most. But still I had a blast during the whole trip, and hope to see Ghost and Mr Bielak cooperate again in the future!

Eheh...did you miss me?

As a little announcement, I've updated that silly quiz. If you take it again, you might find there's, uh...at least one good result in there. 😉

And in the meantime, well...stay tuned! You've all been a wonderful audience, and I might have something else in store. 💜

#gee i wonder what that might be! #ghostly doings

Drew something for TDOV while at familys house for easter. I've been meaning to draw the countess for some time, might as well do it digitally. Need that practice 😤😤😤

The Countess my beloved, if you haven't read it yet (sorry spoilers above), go read Copia's conundrum at @lincopia-otrogothia 's account, created by @batgirlcopia and @ratgirlcopia . Made me shed tears, absolutely beautiful fic.

so, i recognize that this is sort of the ultimate "girl nobody's reading all that" but for anyone who's interested, i wrote 20k words compiling various interviews and videos and analyzing copia as a character + talking about all the times copia has been associated with women and womanhood throughout the prequelle and impera eras. it was a lot of fun! all of my sources are linked in the citations, and i had a really really good time reading a ton of new things and watching familiar things and writing about all of it.

it's framed like a big academic paper, but it's funny about it, and it talks about all kinds of nonsense. like, are malibu real estate prices relevant to ghost lore? maybe! you better click it and find out. but all in all, we can probably agree—

there's something about cardi.

#so when is this getting published #the spillways analysis is still the coolest interpretation ive seen. not that i have seen many but still #calling tomb it may concern the transitional chapter is so good #there were signs of a catgirlsona even earlier than i expected.. fascinating #Very cool article tho.. many fun tidbits i never knew about #copia bringing in all basically all the revenue but still being treated like that .. oof ! 💀

your honor, if you'll just watch the clip, you'll understand what i meant when i said that people don't know about the, and i quote, "pussycunt slayification" of copia's verse in "stay"

#THESE EXPRESSIONS ARE SO GOOD.... #>:} #others art

tbh i feel like the "papa emeritus" title is probably on its way out. it's like. the one part of ghost that tf did not come up with on his own, copia HAS the title but isn't really referred to with it all that much, copia has a non-papal look that's used more or less equally in marketing/promo pics...feels like we're being weaned off it, if i'm honest. wouldn't be surprised if copia was the last one to hold that title no matter what else happens.

that being said. i think it would be sick and twisted and cunt if the next era hits, copia remains intact, and we get. ahem. sister imperator ii. because after a long period of internal debate, i've decided that if copia's gonna stick around...that would be a deliiiiiiiiiiiightful title.
