I realized something funny. Jim Defroque misunderstood everything in the Jesus Talk video, thinking that Jesus He Knows Me and Personal Jesus were about worship and Christianity. Like, he's dumb as fuck and his mind seems to be melted with his hipocrisy.
And the VERY SAME WAY, people misunderstood the videoclip AND the lyrics. Instead of seeing a creep manipulator monsters that Ghost is against to, they see a funny sexy bIsExUaL IcOn and simp over Jim.
Jim and his fans were made to each other, the manipulator and the manipulated 🙄

Papa III was happy (compared to Papa II) Part I
For this first part, I wanted to do a (hopefully) quick comparison of the album covers for the EPs released by Papa II and Papa III to get some insight into their personalities before going more in depth with Popestar.
First up is the EP, If You Have Ghost, by Papa Emeritus II (the song by song interpretation done previously).
The album art is based on the 1922 silent film, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, which itself was inspired by Bram Stoker's book, Dracula. The cover features Papa as "Count Orlok" on a ship. In the movie, in far off Transylvania, Orlok wishes to buy a house across the street of beautiful young Ellen. He summons her husband to do the transaction. The husband realizes Orlok may be a vampire and sees him packing his coffin to meet his love interest, Ellen.
He is a sad and lonely figure with a tragic ending. He lives in a castle avoided by the locals. Plague follows him wherever he goes. And he drinks human blood. After finally meeting Ellen in person, he stays too long feeding on her. The sun rises and Orlok is turned to dust.
The band Ghost has used horror movie imagery before, this could be just another instance of that. But, by contrasting with Papa III's EP,
Next up is the EP Popestar, by Papa Emeritus III.
In this cover art, two anthropomorphic buildings across the street from each other are playing chess, a strategy game that involved moving pieces originally representing parts of a military with goal of capturing the King. The building on the left with the black chessmen sports horns and vertical pupil eyes, possibly representing the devil. The building on the right with the white pieces has a crown, potentially representing "god" and pupiless eyes that watches one of it's pawns get captured. Hmmm. Papa III himself stands atop a golden pillar in-between the buildings in his casual outfit a la Sweden's King Gustav III. His right hand is raised and holding a bright object, possibly the sun, with 5-pointed stars appearing to circle around it.
Overall, Papa III appears as the centerpiece of the cover art. He literally holds up the light overseeing a figurative battle of dark (evil/Satan) and light (god). This suggest he thinks rather highly of himself.
Additionally, the title of the EP, Popestar, is a play on the words "pop star" or a person "regarded as constituting a defining characteristic of a given society or era". Thus, Papa is the arbiter of this battle between good and evil with a confidence and self esteem that contrasts what we saw with Papa II's EP cover art. Is it possible this is a facade and Papa III is also sad? Sure. But as we look into the EP itself, I believe the evidence will not support that idea.
Well, that was much longer than I expected it to be. Join me next time as I delve into why Popestar indicates Papa III was a happy person (and possibly the happiest Papa?).

A man on the outside, but a coward at heart
The taste of salt in my mouth, my voice a siren, broke my thoughts all out

ok revisiting some of my old rq patron files and i just need to remind everyone, or perhaps tell you if youve never seen the patreon-exclusive deluxe transcripts, that the episode names exist in-universe. because jon names them. and writes his silly spooky names. on the front page of each statement.
(that's the handwriting & pen color jon has when he annotates the statements with his snippy little comments in the deluxe transcripts.)

I love how in the early torchwood episode when Jack is teaching Gwen how to shoot he’s like “hopefully you’ll never have to use it” and she’s all “I don’t even kill insects!” And from that point onwards the entire team is never not shooting at every single person they meet, including each other.
