The Friend Loss period from 2020-2023

I have discovered that apparently a variety of people (myself included) lost a great number of friends during the following years. And to clarify, by loss I don’t mean death, I mean falling outs for whatever number of reasons.

The number of people I lost? Eleven. And I don’t know if I particularly would like to vent on the internet as to how the these circumstances occurred, but it’s mainly stupid drama and one unknown as of the current moment.

The Logic part of me wants to say that it’s all coincidence, but the spiritual part of me wants to know of it’s something more.

Maybe I’m just at that age of my life as other Gen Zs where I’m finding out more about myself and it doesn’t quite mesh with those I had previously surrounded myself with.

Maybe COVID had something to do with this too, after people spent so much time in isolation? I can theorize all I want, but still have no clue.

To quote my favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine, “What a loss to spend that much time with someone only to find out they’re a stranger.”

8 years and all in between down the drain. This sucks ass.

Wish like the lamb I could also pull someone who’s a parallel of me from another universe to help me with all my responsibilities 🙄

Call me a Ghoul-Writer cuz I’m signing th heck up for this (I have no idea but I’ll find something 🫡)

Papa’s Red Box is looking for Submissions! 

Have you ever wondered what types of ‘paperwork’ Papas and Cardinals are always doing in fics? Or what kind of homework do siblings receive during classes taught by the clergy? 

Well now is your chance to create your take on those assignments.

Whether it's an academic-style paper for Secondo’s History of the Ministry, a piece of art for Primo’s Drawing 101 class, or a condition report of a ministry relic, it can be submitted here. Terzo’s poetry or photography classes can also submit their works. (Not all of the views might match, do not worry, everyone's ‘branch’ works a bit differently.)

Your work is important regardless of your role as a sibling in the ministry. Here we can showcase all your hard work. 

Don’t have a ‘research’ topic that comes to mind? No worries, we can have a brainstorming session to point you in the right direction. 

“What if I don’t want to work on this alone?” I’m sure some others feel the same way and will be eager to connect over mutual topics.

Don’t you think you can commit to a full research-style piece of writing? We will accept ‘write-ins’ debating a made-up ‘previous’ article. Or even a short incident report that describes encounters or conflicts between siblings and ghouls. 

If it feels like something that might come across a Papa’s desk, then it is welcome. 

What is a 'Red box'?

"Similar in appearance to a briefcase, they are primarily used to hold and transport official ministerial papers. Red boxes are one modern form of dispatch boxes, which have been in government use for centuries." Wikipedia

Theme:

The loose theme of this is academia. This should be a fun ministry lore-building exercise. You get to build a new perspective into the inner workings of the ministry. Once again, not all of the views might match, do not worry, every ‘branch’ works a bit differently. After all, this is a ministry-wide collection of works. 

These should be written from an ‘in-universe’ point of view. Meaning that these should feel like they come from a sibling/clergy member’s hand. The potential discussions about magic or ghouls are limitless.   

Why the academic style?

This comes from my urge to write an academic-style paper again. I miss doing visual analyses on pieces of art and think it might be interesting to attempt that with the different pieces of cannon art for Ghost (ie: the stained glass backdrops, papal portraits, or even t-shirt art)

I also feel like Ghost fans love finding the hidden meanings of everything. This is a chance to fully compose those thoughts in a long-form piece of writing for others to enjoy. This means bringing in as many citations as you feel you need to completely defend your stance. 

Format:

This will be compiled into a PDF for all participants to enjoy, share, or even print to have a physical copy. It will be formatted in a way that will be easy to print and bind.

This is so there is no money being exchanged and creators can do whatever else they wish with these pieces. While we aren't collecting money, we are encouraging people to donate to a cause they believe in if they can do so.

Topic ideas:

Want to write about a historical painting but have nothing to do with it afterward? This is your chance to make that urge feel productive. 

Want to create something based on the ghouls that look at them from a research perspective? Great!

Did you do a bunch of random detail research for a fic and want to give it a chance to shine? This is your time.

Potential items:

incident reports (can be written in 3rd or 1st person)

research papers

Clergy member or previous papal biographies

Ministry wide memos

flyers/ads for clubs within the ministry or for ministry outreach. 

Condition reports

art pieces (Must be high res and printable)

‘Class notes’

Word counts:

This is going to be something that we will have to decide after getting in applications. It's all dependent on how many people we have actually wanting to write things vs visual arts.

Application Open:

August 4th - August 30th depending on the number of applicants

Common Side Effects 1x01 | Jump In The Line - Harry Belafonte

Finished the video of my bf and I playing Speaking From Ignorance where he tells me everything he thinks my CotL fic is about (because for some reason, upon him learning I write fanfiction, he wasn't disgusted and immediately wanted to know more) (also I would highly recommend this game to any fic writer this was so much fun). I'm very surprised with how much he got correct lol.

Here's the actual fic if you're interested lolol. (Hi hi hi if you do read it then thank you very much I love you)

He made me talk about One Piece so I might make a video on that idk.

Might also be up to making these videos for moots if they send me the audio file.

Might be able to get my ex banned from entering my store cuz seeing him literally causes me to break down! Yay!
