Got any wholesome papa head cannons you wanna ramble about?

So this is kind of a sequel in a way to Dumbasses which I wrote many, many moons ago about Cardinal Primo trying to navigate being an older brother.

Also apologies because this definitely got away from me...but here's some wholesome thoughts (maybe a wee bit of angst) from Primo about his younger brothers. No warnings, about 1,300 words and not proofread 💙

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Primo is very proud of his brothers.

It's no secret that Nihil was a shit father, absent even when he wasn't touring. He never spent any more time than was necessary with his boys. Nihil paid various Siblings of Sin to do that for him. That job fell to Primo when he was old enough. Primo who had recently been made a Cardinal and given more responsibilities than he really was prepared to deal with. Being a father wasn't really ever something Primo had thought about but here he was with three younger brothers all looking to him for guidance.

Secondo had been the toughest to take care of. He had already been a bitter old man even as a teenager. Just another thing Primo could blame on Nihil. Primo tried to act like more of an older brother to him than a parent, Secondo didn't react to authority figures very well at all. Primo had lost track of how many flowers and fruits baskets he had sent to traumatized Sisters who had barely survived having Secondo in their classes.

But his brother had come out of it all a brilliant, strong young man. He moved up the ranks of the church faster than even Primo had. Despite Nihil's attempts at making it a contest Primo tried to not feel like Secondo was biting at his heels. Secondo was ambitious, that was all. He had come to Primo before he reached each new position in the church, wanting the blessing of his fratello before he continued his rise within the clergy.

The night before Primo's final ritual, when Secondo was set to become Papa Emeritus II, they had shared a few drinks in silence before Secondo asked for Primo's blessing. Secondo wanted to be Papa badly, so very badly. He wanted to show Nihil what he was capable of, he wanted to show the old bastard what he could do while in charge of the church. But he wasn't interested in doing any of that without Primo at his back. They had both shared a rare embrace and Primo had promised Secondo, who in that moment looked far younger than he actually was, that he would always be there for him.

Lucifer himself wouldn't be able to drag him away if Secondo needed him.

Terzo was in many ways the complete opposite of Secondo. There wasn't as much ambition, as much desire for power. Terzo was gifted and incredibly smart, much smarter than most gave him credit for. When he applied himself he got high marks from the Sisters and Brothers in charge of the classes at the abbey. The issue was Terzo often didn't want to apply himself. He preferred indulging in sin rather than learning about it. The older he got the more this became true and when Terzo achieved the rank of Cardinal well...

Let's just say Cardinal Terzo's favorite sin was lust and leave it at that.

Primo really didn't really care what Terzo got up to and he certainly didn't want to hear any details. He just wanted Terzo to be happy and safe. Every time he saw his little brother he couldn't help but think of that scared little boy that trailed him everywhere. The loss of his mother had hit Terzo extremely hard and Primo had done his best to fill both parental roles for him.

It was hard for anyone else to tell, but Primo could see it. He knew that despite the companions Terzo always had his little brother was still lonely. Still looking for someone to fill a void by his side. Primo remembered the night when Terzo ascended to Papa, when Secondo bowed on stage to him and let Terzo take the spotlight. The two older Emeritus's had watched off stage as Terzo expertly performed the ritual as if he was born to be up there and in the spotlight.

In a way he was, this was what the Emeritus's were all aiming for. To be Papa, to lead the church to greater things. Primo could see all of that happening under Terzo. He was talented, handsome and charismatic, a true leader. Primo couldn't help but worry about his little brother though, especially as he prepared to hit the road with his ghouls. Touring could be brutal and Primo was concerned that Terzo would be overwhelmed with indulging instead of focusing on what he was supposed to be doing.

It took him witnessing something he probably shouldn't have for Primo to feel better about Terzo leaving. He had been trying to track down his younger brother the night before he was set to leave and had finally found him out in the gardens. Right when Primo was about to walk up he was stopped by another figure joining Terzo. One of Terzo's newly summoned ghouls, Omega he believed was his name, had placed a clawed hand on his brother's shoulder and Primo watched as it trailed up to Terzo's face. Omega had brushed the back of his fingers across his cheek, letting them move back into Terzo's hair, gently combing through it. Terzo had said something Primo couldn't hear before he'd risen up on his toes and placed a kiss on the mask covering the ghoul's face.

Perhaps Terzo wouldn't need his help after all.

Little Copia had been a surprise and at first, not a good one. Primo hadn't been happy to have another Emeritus heir dumped at the church door step. At least this time it wasn't just Primo yelling at Nihil because Secondo and Terzo were there as well. Poor Copia had been scared out of his mind. It was rare for Primo to let his anger get the best of him and even a teenaged Secondo had been surprised at his outburst. When Primo felt like his point had been made, not that Nihil actually gave a fuck about anything that had been said, he had left the old man's office to take Copia around the abbey. However the sight he saw let him know that he was too late.

Primo hadn't even noticed that Terzo had left the office, although he supposed it made sense. Terzo always quickly grew bored when "the adults were yelling" and his new little brother was much more interesting to him. The two of them were deep in a conversation, hurried Italian mixed with English being thrown between them. Primo had walked up and was about to tell Terzo to get back to his lessons, but before he could even open his mouth Terzo had latched onto Copia's little hand and the two had taken off down the hallway.

He knew he should have stopped them, at the very least he should have gone with them. Primo had turned to Secondo and was about to ask him to chase them down, but all he got was a sneer in response. Secondo promptly stalked off the other direction leaving Primo desperately hoping that Nihil didn't have any other little Emeritus's that might show up. Three was more than enough.

As Copia grew up and began to achieve great things Primo couldn't help but still see the nervous little boy in him. Although he could definitely be a smart ass he was probably the sweetest of the four brothers. He treated the entire congregation with care from the siblings to the ghouls and even to the rats he would save from the traps in the kitchens. Copia was special and Primo couldn't wait to see how the church would flourish under him.

Primo was proud of all of his brothers. Each of them had their faults of course, but one of them was always there to pick up the slack and help. They wouldn't do it without giving each other a hard time, but that's what brothers were for. Primo had done his best to teach them that they were all in this together, that the church was theirs. They had to help each other to bring the church to greatness in the name of Lucifer.

Even when they were acting like dumbasses.

(also P.S. Primo has kept every drawing his little brothers ever gave him)

For the fanfic writer emoji asks:

💋First kiss fics, love em or hate em?

💞Who is your comfort character?

Thank you for your questions, Oakie. I am really happy to answer them 💕 💋First kiss fics, love em or hate em? - I am guilty, i love such fics, because they all tip toe around the same feeling - wanting to be close with the loved one, overwhelmed with your love for them. And there is something sweet in fics, when characters feel happiness, finally kissing their partner or "friend\enemy\rival" whom they love dearly. It just tickles my soul. i love mushy things. 💞Who is your comfort character? - In ghost fandom i can say Secondo and Copia. I love them both dearly. Copia comforts me with his awkwardness in social situations in chapters and just how he still lives with his mom, who is controlling him. Just, it hit me to the heart when i first saw it, because back then my situation were not that different. Plus, his dad jokes are just what i love the most about him. Secondo comforts me differently. I love that he is a party animal, looking like a mr. Worldwide and at the same time a soft-spoken Papa. He looks menacing, but his actions show that he is a softie with a big heart (who loves to jam). So yeah, this both differently comfort me

Hiii,

You wrote here

Glass Onion: The success of venture capitalism is built on a web of lies that will eventually blow up in your face (literally).

Which I assume is referring to the fact that 90% of startups fail, continuous exponential growth (the definition of a startup) is unrealistic and has tolls on employees, and it's just a rich person's game of getting rich people to invest, stay in business for a little while, and then sell off the startup to the highest bidder.

Either way, the clash and wholesomeness from learning about startup culture to just yesterday listening to an interview where they said "slow growth is best growth", I just want to know what you exactly meant by that Glass Onion comment in case I'm wrong 😅

Please and thank you,

And it's totally fine if you don't want to answer this ask

Best regards :)

I'm a socialist, so... but yeah, "startup culture" ain't wholesome, get out or they will leave you holding the bag.

How *scandalized*, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being slightly amused and 10 resulting in them yeeting you off the roof of the abbey) do you suppose the Papas would be if they saw you BREAK the spaghetti to fit it into the pot of boiling water? 👀 😂

Primo - 4

He's too focused on his homemade pasta sauce to notice at first. He carefully selected the best tomatoes and herbs from his garden. The recipe is one he's perfected over many years of working on it. So by the time he sees what you've done he just gives you a resigned sigh. He loves you too much to make a big deal out of it. Plus his sauce is the star of the meal anyway.

Secondo - 9

In another life Secondo would have been a chef (chefcondo!) so while he does enjoy having you in the kitchen with him he doesn't exactly want your help. Breaking the spaghetti is one of the reasons. You weren't really sure what he was saying while you were on the receiving end of a 15 minute lecture the last time you did it. (Your Italian wasn't that good yet despite your Duolingo streak) Since then if you wandered into the kitchen while he was cooking he would just lift you so you could sit on the counter and watch him. It also keeps you in easy reach so he can kiss you while he works.

Terzo - 7

When he saw you break the pasta he made a lot of distressed noises before wandering off to find his phone and tell Secondo about it. You could hear his brother's raised voice and rolled your eyes. While you loved the Emeritus brothers, and you especially loved Terzo, they could be very dramatic at times. When Terzo wandered back into the kitchen you made sure to pat his cheek and kiss his nose. He doesn't let you pull away and starts kissing you on the mouth, slowly pushing you back until your back hits the counter. It isn't long before he's dropping to his knees in front of you and by the time he's done the pasta is ruined anyway.

Copia - 2

Copia is very proud of his Italian heritage and also considers himself an exceptional cook. But in his eyes you can do no wrong. The love he has for you lets him easily look past your little "kitchen quirks" as he likes to call them. When possible he always tries to do as much of the work as he can so that you can rest. He likes to cook while you tell him about your day. Copia's favorite thing to do in the kitchen though is to dance with you. Whenever he has a moment he'll pull you out of your chair and spin you around, making you laugh when he shows off his wobbling skills. But on the off chance he gets distracted enough and you end up breaking the spaghetti he'll just give you that amazing smile of his and tell you he loves you anyway.

The first memorable moment that comes to mind... I feel like you know this already, but...

Copia stitching up his poor Mouse.

I collected every sharp little point of agony like they were stars plucked from the sky and I took them to keep.

It was the first piece I read of your work, and I knew, when I read that sentence, that I would be permanently beholden to your every word. ❤️

Oh, you are so sweet! I am so grateful for you!
