Tremblay having a nervous breakdown after the conclave, crying and drinking and cursing, and at one point he thinks “I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for-“ then realizes he sounds like a scooby doo villain, which sends him into another fit of hysterics
Uhhh fic where thomas attempts and fails suicide and everyone’s very nice and gentle and careful around him except tedesco, who screams at him in his hospital bed until he calms down and asks with tears in his eyes if thomas really cares so little for his immortal soul send tweet
Tedesco be like: “Cardinal Adeyemi reviles all homosexuals. Doesn’t he realize more than half of his brothers would be doomed to eternal damnation? Now I understand this sentiment in regards to Cardinal Bellini, but our sweet virginal Tommaso? Surely he deserves a better fate.”
Too early to be doom posting about the new pope. It’s the Catholic Church, of course he’s not great on lgbt and sexual abuse issues. We know he’s helped appoint women to positions in the vatican and is not a fan of JD Vance, hope is not lost, but we’re not getting another francis
My favorite lawmeli trait is that he makes a point of calling everyone by their first name. In the cold and formal setting of the Vatican, he tries to be warm and welcoming, making sure everyone feels included. He takes “love thy neighbor” incredibly seriously. It’s so charming
Tedesco cornering Ray after the conclave, crowding him against a wall, demanding to know more about the new holy father, grabbing him by the jaw and blowing smoke in his face, not listening to ray’s stuttered denials. “You must know something. You’re the decano’s lap dog, no?”
Tedesco gets elected pope and Bellini crashes out, goes to live in America with with his sister, gets his ears pierced and nails painted by his niece, then goes on a food roadtrip like Stanley Tucci’s show except he’s eating hamburgers at 2am in the whataburger parking lot
Rereading conclave is fun bc I just realized the guy Ray normally assists, Cardinal Tutino who is Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops (Ray is his secretary), is the subject of such a significant scandal that ray is for sure getting his job after the conclave lmaooo
“Is the fandom dying” there’s new art and fic and posts on all social media platforms every day, the discord servers and tumblr communities are very active, and there’s events for the entire month of august. You guys don’t know what an inactive fandom looks like, and that’s okay
