get you a man who despite his literal decades of practice repressing and hiding his emotions to survive physically cannot hide how smitten he is with you
screenshotting the ask because I think you accidentally sent this to my main <3
The most honest answer is probably that I just found him attractive, like, I got into Ghost through Papa Copia and then when I found out about the previous Papas I was quickly fascinated by him, especially after seeing Papaganda for the first time. I do also just have a thing for men that look mean and brooding but are actually kind of soft silly romantics on the inside.
Another thing is that I was just very confused by some of the Secondo fanon interpretations because at the time, I so often saw people think that his mean, bitch-faced facade was all there is to him. He was often portrayed as this mean, aggressive, angry, degrading sadist (and by all means, that can be hot af, i get it and he can be that if you want to) but by watching his performances (like!!! his voice!!! he is so calm and soft and controlled!!) and reading about canon information on him I just saw so much more in him. So I just went to explore that in my head and in my writing and by now I just have made a version of him that I am deeply in love with. Not saying that I am right, btw, I think there are so many ways to interpret these characters, but I just enjoy him like that.
I also think it was this quote that got me:
“I'd say there's a general false impression that he's a monster, but he's more of a real gentleman, combined with such fictional characters as Don Corleone and Dracula. I mean, Bram Stoker's Dracula. And the Phantom of the Opera. He's a grumpy old broken man. And he's as macho as he is connected to the softer, more feminine part of himself. He's frail, but he's also too old to care. He is the embodiment of everything I - and many others - would find impressive and entertaining. (laughs) He's terribly masculine. And a romantic soul. But also pitiful. He's just a sad old man.” (Spark Rock 4/2013)

If you don't, which Papa do you think has the best version/performance of Jigolo Har Megiddo? (Sorry Primo and Perpetua, P-named Papa's don't get to sing this one 😅)
💫 @plethora-of-imagines
My favorite used to be Dewdrop for a long time when I joined the fandom (shoutout to those who remember) but I'm more partial to the Ghoulettes, especially Cirrus, Cumulus and Haze. Honorable mention to Phantom though!! I'm not very involved with the fanon ghoul lore but I really appreciate their performances and energy ✨
As much as I love the acoustic versions (especially In The Lounge like, that is peak Cardinal!!!! so good), I think it's not a surprise that I also reeeeally love Secondo's performance of Jigolo. I mean, I love all of his performances but Jigolo is a rare treat because you can't find a lot of them, you can't find a lot of non-acoustic Jigolo performances in general. I just looooove his stage presence and his voice. I think for this one half of the views must be mine with how often I've watched it 😭
Please think about warm and comfy copia cuddles... And then he makes the worst joke you've heard in your life 😌
His arms are tightly wrapped around you, your bodies so close that you can feel his heart beating against yours. It’s been a cool day but his warmth has radiated into every one of your cells, melting away any worries or insecurities that usually linger. Copia is breathing kisses to your forehead, his lips soft like the wings of a butterfly. In the background, his record player is providing a static sound, the music long run out but neither of you willing to get up and turn the vinyl.
You move your hand up and down his chest, feeling the roughness of the faded Star Wars print on his shirt. He sighs whistfuly, pushing his leg between yours to get even closer. You shift as well, moving further on top of him, tangled up and struggling on the narrow bed until you finally feel more of him. Right as you swing your leg over his you hear a thud but you don’t care to investigate it.
“Amore…” Copia asks, already snickering. “What did the blanket say as it fell off the bed?”
I appreciate how you write Secondo. It makes me want to give him a chance. I've already read Unprecedented three times since I read it the first time a couple weeks ago.
Tbh, I re-read many of your fics!
ahhhh thank you so much!!! honestly? this is my favorite compliment ever ♡ all i really want is to make people see how fascinating he is!! 🕊️
it's funny because unprecedented was the first time i ever wrote secondo and it's the fic that helped me get to know him. so in a way perhaps it helps others get to know him too :)
Do you really think Copia is truly dead? Gone forever? When Sister died, they gave her dignity. They let people mourn her. She was honored, remembered, mourned like she mattered. But Cardi? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It’s as if he never existed at all, as if everything he was meant nothing. I know it isn’t real, I know it’s all part of the story, but it still hurts in a very real way. Because it feels just like real life, like when someone disappears and the world moves on as if they were nothing, as if they were never worth grieving. And that’s what devastates me the most: how could anyone not care about Cardi? How could they let him vanish like that, forgotten, erased, discarded? He deserved so much more than this. That evil Swedish man couldn’t have chosen a crueler, colder, more humiliating way to get rid of him. It doesn’t even feel like an ending — it feels like throwing someone away like trash.
- End of rant -
So, I have complicated thoughts on this. Like, from a realistic POV I think it was a way to keep the lore open-ended as Ghost went into this hiatus. This is where this particular arc ended. It very much felt like typical Ghost fashion to rip a horrible joke when things get too serious and while I was sort of angry when I first saw the chapter I think by now I'm kind of indifferent? Like, is it a bit of a tasteless joke? Yea. But that's also Ghost. Tobias never meant to set out and please everyone, it's just that we all got so attached.
Don't get me wrong, you all know I love Copia, but I already did not feel super into his character arc as Frater, so my investment in the chapters was purely from an entertainment, don't take it so seriously standpoint. (This is a whole complicated thing for me though.) And I think a lot of our perception now has to do with how we added so much depth to the world in fanon that the general expectations for the lore were just way too high. It was never meant to be some grand narrative, it's marketing, it's silly, it's a way for him to throw some of his ideas around.
The depth of the themes is always hinted at but it's never made explicit. It's always been the fandom who did that and I think Tobias trusts us enough to know how to handle, how to interpret and how to expand what he's doing, like a proper artist should!!! He doesn't cater, doesn't dumb down, doesn't explicate.
I don't really love to speculate and theorize. It might be a mask change, it might just be a cliffhanger, it might be a proper open ending. Do I think he's dead? Not really, no, and he won't ever be dead unless we get more lore that states it. That's how narratives work. He's Schrödinger's Copia now, we're doing particle physics over here. Tobias may choose to pick the character back up, he might choose to stop, and until then we're in the limbo.
Secondo is the type of guy who enjoys the finer things in life, right? Like, designer clothes, fancy restaurants, that sort of thing. That's him.
But, secretly, every once in a while...he'll hide away in his room, wearing stained sweatpants and a hole-filled t-shirt, scarfing down the nastiest, greasiest take-out burger he could get. Nobody has ever witnessed this, and he'll never admit to it. But it does, sometimes, happen.
I agree!!! I think he wants to convey the picture of the sophisticated gentleman and there is a lot of control and effort put into his reputation and outer appearance and it's not all fake, like that is a part of him, he likes to see himself as that, it's just not the whole truth. There's a reason he kind of looks like a Mafia boss one moment and the next moment he's half-naked and stumbling over a sock.
The strict image definitely falls away when he's alone or when he's comfortable because it's too much effort to keep it up at all times and also, why bother? Like, he's a hedonist and a silly bean at heart, I don't think he'd ever deny himself the luxury of a rot day, let alone the nastiest food you can imagine. You can only appreciate the gourmet five course meal if you also indulge in the greasy cheeseburger sometimes, you know? I like to think he keeps himself humble.
I do also headcanon he is a sentimental bitch and he definitely has a couple old band shirts that have holes in it and almost fall apart but he could never throw them out. I like to think it makes him feel safe to retreat into the good memories, that's why he spends so much time making sure he has them.

on a day to day basis definitely Secondo! i think i've never had a fictional crush this intense and this long. but that also has to do with the fact that i kind of made him into an OC in my head and i just keep adding to my idea of him. i have such intense yearning for him sometimes, or as my friend @leezlelatch said:
in the real world, some of the most intense experiences i've ever had in my life are connected to Copia, though. my first ritual and also the movie premiere hit me super hard emotionally. especially when i saw him as papa on stage, i think nothing will ever beat the feeling of the curtain dropping, seeing him run out and realizing that he was real (in that moment). and i think i've never been as scared as when i was watching rhrn on the big screen, not knowing what would happen to him. it was an intense, bittersweet time!! :')
omg i wish i knew, i think not even tobias can answer that question.
like, he somehow found the perfect recipe to attract everyone who's got daddy issues, mommy issues, religious trauma, problems with grief, guilt or shame, queer people and/or people who love to fuck with gender, the goths, the emo kids, the theatre kids, the one's who were always left out.... or all of the aforementioned 😭
For a brief moment he feels like he’s standing in the chapel, gazing into the face of Lilith on the triptych, envying the serpent that is intimately wrapped around her body. He would worship you, he thinks, in much the same way.

Masterlist – Ao3 link
He watches you for a time-stopping moment – the frame is frozen, the video on pause, the clock ticking in a vacuum. He is the visitor in a museum of fine arts who stops in front of a painting to admire. The scene is simple. You sit by the window in nothing but a loose shirt, the evening sunlight illuminating your head like a halo – an angel dipped in liquid gold. The book you’re reading is one of his, a restored early edition of Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita, and you handle it with the care of a mother cradling her child.
Perhaps you notice his attention. The frames start moving again as your head turns in his direction. And then you smile. He can’t bring himself to look away, even though he knows it will eventually disturb the view. If the sunlight is warm, it holds nothing to the warmth in your gaze.
As expected you close the book and delicately place it on the armchair as you rise. He watches your figure as it crosses the room, so familiar to his eyes and hands, yet never losing the charm of novelty. You stop where he has reclined comfortably on the sofa and his eyes are drawn upwards to meet yours, the scene changing into a new composition. For a brief moment he feels like he’s standing in the chapel, gazing into the face of Lilith on the triptych, envying the serpent that is intimately wrapped around her body. He would worship you, he thinks, in much the same way.
You reach out with cautious hands, cradling his head as softly as the book, like he is precious beyond any measurable worth. Secondo can’t resist the temptation any longer, wondering if you are the serpent after all. He pulls you down into his lap, face pressed against yours so firmly that you can feel the outline of his nose in your cheek. You wrap your arms around him for support, giggling slightly when he drags his lips over the sensitive spot below your ear. He inhales the sound like he inhales your scent, then exhales in warm huffs against your tender throat.
“You smell divine, my dove.” He nuzzles you again, slowly this time, then hums in delight. “My favorite scent.”
You move your hands back to his head, gently scratching and massaging his scalp. “You’re very affectionate today.”
His lips ghost over your jaw. “Is that so bad?”
Right when you open your mouth to answer he sucks on your skin and you gasp, squirming on his thighs to try and calm your growing need. His hands settle on your hips in a firm grip, keeping you steady as his wet lips trail further down. “N-No.”
“You taste divine too,” he mumbles, unimpressed by your reaction. “So good for me, so very good for your Papa.”
“Seco–”
You trail off when his lips attach to your neck, sucking roughly. You cling to his shoulder, his neck, anywhere you can reach, moaning as you feel lustful shivers running down your spine. For a while you get lost under his ministrations, all your love for him so very palpable when he touches you like this. His teeth nibble your skin, his tongue soothing over the spot before he sucks yet again, so hard you wonder if he’s trying to absorb you, suck you into him. Desperately aching for him, you attempt to move your hips against his, to feel more of him, but his grip is too firm. With his mouth so insistent, your skin soon starts to burn, then properly ache. Maybe he’s already broken it, licking up your blood without faltering.
“Papa, it h-hurts,” you whimper.
He breaks away slightly. “Does it?”
“Hm, lots.”
“Mi scusi, amore, I get a little… carried away. You forgive me, sì?”
“Mhm.”
You’d forgive him anything, you both know this, especially when he calls you amore. The corners of his mouth spread against your neck as they form a loving smile. His lips tenderly move over the abused spot, a featherlight kiss that sends goosebumps over your skin, leaving a wet mark that feels cool as he breaks away.
“Better, yes?”
You smile as you gaze into his shimmering mismatched eyes, then at his mouth that is all messy and blotched. “Yes, better.”
“Give your Papa a proper kiss now, hm?”
Your lips meet his in a silent gasp, remains of his make-up mixing with your spit and leaving a bitter taste on your tongue. His kisses are always deliberate, even in your daily life. He never kisses in passing but sacrifices a few precious seconds to linger, firm and intimate, until you know he does not take even a fraction of you for granted.
There lies a certain pain in knowing that someone wants your body but nothing more. That they love you enough to take your pleasure but not enough to help and carry the weight of your soul. This is not what being with Secondo feels like. He is slowly, carefully peeling the outer layers from your heart, reaching into the depths of your desires beyond just the carnal lust you both share. Every kiss and touch caress parts of you that you kept protected for so long that you forgot they existed. You think, you hope, that you are doing the same for him.
You break the kiss for a sigh when his hands push underneath the shirt that is draped over your body, unbuttoned and falling open as soon as his hands move upwards to cup your breasts – his shirt, really, that you wrapped around your shoulders earlier that evening. Your skin is soft as he feels the weight of them, gently kneading the supple flesh and circling your nipples with his thumbs. Secondo kisses you again when you arch into his touch, swallowing the whimpers and moans his deft fingers draw from you. You’re free to roll your hips now and you take advantage of your position. He can’t fight off a groan when he feels the outlines of your cunt grinding down on his cock, slicking your underwear as well as his pants.
“I want you in my mouth,” you whisper. “Please.”
He has never been able to deny you the pleasure of tasting him, no matter how fast it usually brings him to his release, seeing that you are always so eager to please him. When he looks into your eyes now, filled with need and devotion, he swallows against a dry throat.
“Ask me again,” he says. “Tell me how much you want it.”
“Please, let me taste you. Let me feel your weight on my tongue, Papa. I crave you.”
He gives a nod and you break away to settle between his legs on the floor, thighs tightly pressed together. His arms have spread over the back of the sofa and he shifts his hips forward to grant you better access, bracing you between his strong thighs. With the same deft, cautious fingers you open the buckle of his belt, feeling your own wetness on his crotch as you pull down the zipper of his slacks. He is beautifully hard and Secondo gives a relieved sigh when you pull his cock from its restraints. You immediately nuzzle it, pressing your cheek against his hot, leaking member.
“You are an infernal sight,” he comments. “A paragon of lust and devotion.”
You smile and rub your face against his cock, looking up to meet his intense gaze. His eyes are focused on you as he brings his hand to your other cheek, so tenderly that it draws a sigh from you. You lean in to kiss his abdomen, pressing more soft kisses around his cock, the tender skin where it meets his body, down his length, never losing sight of him. His skin tastes salty and his dark pubic hair tickles your nose as you kiss down to his balls. The hand on your cheek fully cups you now, his thumb pressing just below your eye, and you smile up at him.
“Are you teasing your Papa?” Secondo asks, swallowing hard in his visible strain.
“No,” you assure him with a kiss to the underside of his shaft. “I am loving my Papa.”
His lips part but before he can say anything, you close your lips around his tip and distort his words into a low groan. Instead of forcing you to go faster, he allows you to set a languid pace, breaking away to kiss his hooded tip every so often while his hand gently combs through your hair. You take your time, looking up at him with big, hopeful eyes, trying to show him exactly how much you appreciate him. You don’t need him to be strong and perfect all the time. You want him to let go of his social constraints and allow himself to just be when he’s with you – your partner, your lover, the Papa of your very own church.
His breathing becomes more erratic when you take him deeper, caressing him with your tongue and hollowing your cheeks. You can feel his thighs flexing at your sides and you wrap your hand around the base of his cock, never losing sight of him. His eyes stay on yours as well, even as his eyelids begin to flutter from the stimulation. His hand tightens in your hair but he doesn’t exert any force, just holds you, massaging your scalp encouragingly.
“Amore,” he warns when he’s getting close. “Come up here, per favore. I want to feel your skin on mine.”
You break away, leaving him wet and achingly hard as you climb back into his lap. He urges you out of your garments, then pushes his pants fully down while you work open the buttons on his own shirt. He’s meticulous and before long you have your hands on his solid chest, caressing the dark curly hair that runs all over his body.
“I want you, Papa,” you whisper, kissing him again with an eager, open mouth.
Secondo allows you to grind down on his cock, the wetness between your legs easing the movement as he glides between your folds. You moan into each other’s mouths at the sensation and he pulls you close, chest against chest, so perfectly intimate and warm.
When you break away from the kiss, he purrs. “You have pleased your Papa, I think it is time that he pleases you, hm?”
His hands firmly grip your hips again, denting the soft flesh as he moves you to lie flat on your back. The sofa gives a squeak when he settles between your legs, spreading them as wide as the narrow surface allows. This is not his ideal spot in your quarters, he prefers to have space, to take his time with you to give you the attention you deserve. Right now, however, he is too stunned by the sight of you sprawled out underneath him with the evening sun still dipping your curves into its orange light. He remembers his silent promise to worship you and so he lets his lips caress every inch of your body he can reach.
He begins at the bruising spot on your neck. Already you squirm, trying to guide his mouth further down, and so he gathers your hands to pin them over your head. He has taught you patience over the time you’ve been together but he can never quite tame your eagerness. Not that he earnestly wants to.
“Ssh,” he says. “It is my turn to love you now.”
The deep breath you take at his words vibrates under his mouth as he kisses your sternum. You shiver, goosebumps spreading underneath his lips. Secondo gives himself another few minutes, covering your chest in kisses, leaving a few deep red marks in the most prominent spots.
“Please,” you whisper, your wrists fighting against his strong grip.
He does not let go, instead he brings his lips back to yours, pushing his tongue inside the cavity of your mouth and delving as deep as you allow. Your hips buck and he presses you down with his full weight, plundering your mouth until your lips are swollen. His free hand moves between your bodies, ghosting over your mound until his fingers graze your clit. You gasp at the contact, closing your eyes as they lose their focus. He aligns his cock with your entrance, teasing you both by dragging his tip along your slit and lightly dipping inside.
“Oh, Papa.”
Secondo stills and circles your aching, swollen clit, drawing whimpers and deep lustful sounds from your throat with every rotation. Your moans are his favorite gospel, your breathy words the most devoted prayer he has ever heard. Again, your arms resist as you shift beneath his grasp, rolling your hips into his touch in your search for more.
“Papa,” you whisper, voice laced with complaint.
“You want to touch me, amore?” he asks, tightening his grip on your wrists.
“Yes.”
“Hmmmm, will you beg for me? You know how I love it when you do.”
“Papa,” you repeat, squirming impatiently in his hold. “Papa, please. I want to touch you.”
He doesn’t let go but looks down at you with a loving glimmer in his eyes that speaks more than any confession ever could. He looks vulnerable and for a drawn-out moment you just look at each other, no words necessary when your eyes meet. His lips part and the last traces of his resistance slowly melt away.
“Secondo,” you whisper now. “Please.”
He finally releases your wrists and then his whole face softens, the deep creases evening out until he’s smiling. You wrap your hands around his neck, refamiliarising yourself with the tenderness of his skin as your fingertips trace every single curve you can find. It’s the touch of a butterfly, tickling so softly that it takes his breath away.
“Amore, you have already touched me,” he says, a shimmer glossing over his eyes, tears or a trick of the light, you’re not quite certain, “in so many ways.”
With that he finally pushes inside, dragging his cock slowly along your walls until your hips are flush and he can’t go any deeper. He fills you so perfectly, molding you around him to match his shape. Every roll of his hips is a revelation, every moan a promise of his unending devotion to you. You pull him closer until his full weight is resting on you and you can feel his warm skin on yours. Even though his thrusts are more shallow now they seem to fill you even more thoroughly, spreading pleasure in your whole body. Soon you clench around him, your hands grasping him tightly, and he grinds into you with more fervor.
“Come for me, my dove,” he whispers, grunting when he feels the tightness in his own body that announces his impending release. His thumb goes back to drawing circles over your clit. “Come for your Papa.”
You shudder, then the heat in your belly spreads in rippling waves as you fall over the edge, wrapping your legs around him to keep him as close as possible. Secondo stills for a moment, inhaling sharply when he feels you tightening around him, revelling in the sounds you make, the sensation of your body trembling underneath him with the intensity of your pleasure. All of his senses are attuned to you.
“Hm, so good for me,” he says, trying to hold back for a little longer. “S-so good.”
When you begin to come down from your high he continues to move, extending your pleasure. You gently stroke his neck, his back, caressing him as he approaches his own release. He can feel the love in your soft touches and his chest clenches, his heart stuttering just like his hips when he finally comes. He groans and buries his face in your neck as he spills heavily inside of you. He gives you all that he has, a few more shallow thrust to prolong the sensation. When he is spent, he rolls you onto your sides, keeping you close.
In the shared space, your breaths mingle, and he can’t help but nuzzle your nose, placing another soft, lingering kiss to your mouth.
“I love you, Secondo,” you whisper, still caressing the back of his head.
“And I love you, my dove,” he replies.
You smile and close your eyes but he can’t bring himself to stop looking at your relaxed, angelic face. If he had any talent he would paint you just like this, capture you basking in such deep bliss and preserve the sight for all of eternity. Instead he leans in to press two featherlight kisses to your eyelids, another one to your nose, then your lips, and traps the picture deep inside of his heart.
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed – kudos, comments, rbs etc are as always much appreciated ♡

It's been over half a year now since I finished I Knew Nothing But Shadows, my 220k word Copia long fic that I started in 2022 (and that took me three years to complete 💀). It's about a young woman who's tasked to paint Copia's official portrait, finding belonging and love while figuring out the mysteries of a painful past.
I haven't been talking a lot about it since then because I just feel akward and insecure in many ways, but I wanted to shout it out again because it's not just the longest thing I've ever written with so much of myself poured into every word, it's also the story that means the most to me because it allowed me to connect with so many lovely people over the years and it helped me take my writing more seriously.
I've been reminiscing a lot and it's true that by writing this fic (and other fics) I've found some of the best friends I've ever had and even more friends, mutuals and followers on here that I think of so fondly and love seeing to this day.
I'm proud that I actually managed to finish such a complex project. If you haven't heard of it yet, here are the links:
☞ I Knew Nothing But Shadows
And here is some of the amazing fanart I've received for it :)
