Hello, everyone! His Holiness and I decided to make a joint [tumblr] together as a way to further connect with the laity. Well, I decided to, in behalf of the Pope, as he is asleep beside me. But don't worry! I'll make sure he posts a lot, too!
It's unclear what our [tumblr] would be about, but most likely it will be for sharing the Word of God, our everyday lives, and connecting with the people of [tumblr]. We hope you'll welcome us here.
You may use the Ask button to chat with us! I'm sure His Holiness will be more than happy to answer your queries. Our social media supervisor has prepared a lit of things you must know before entering this blog, so please read through. It is under the cut.
We love you, mahal namin kayo!
—Luis Antonio Tagle (but I've seen you use 🍬 to refer to me, haha! I will use it next time.)
OOC: This Tumblr is run by @feat-carmela. Genuine concerns will be directed to that account. All art is by me, unless stated otherwise.
Character Guide (for reading this blog, and addressing asks):
Luis Antonio Tagle (Chito) : 🍬 (candy emoji)
Robert Francis Prevost | Pope Leo XIV (Bob) : 🦁 (lion emoji)
Edgard Rimaycuna (Ed) : 👓 (glasses emoji)
Social Media Supervisor (I, the owner) : 🐬 (dolphin emoji)
Pointers:
— This is a Vatican RPF blog. Don't like? Don't interact. You are not my target audience.
— This is a ship blog of Robert Francis Prevost | Pope Leo XIV and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, therefore assuming an intimate homosexual relationship between them. The same note applies here.
— The opinions expressed by the characters in this blog do not always align with the beliefs of their real-world counterparts. Everything to be taken with one (1) asin tibuok.
— @feat-carmela (me) is, in-universe, the social media supervisor. Somehow. Chito doesn't know how I managed to find out about the blog just hours after it's set up. Lorewise, I'm an intern at the Dicastery for Communications. IRL... yeah no I'm not talking about my IRL life, thanks.
— Be respectful. This is a Vatican RPF blog, yes, but this does not allow for proselytism and unwarranted preaching. Go be a priest if that's what you want. Hate and proselytism will be removed.
— If you somehow manage to show this blog to the actual people, I'd be impressed. Tell them I say hi, and that they can't excommunicate me because I was never baptised nor raised Catholic to begin with. With that, the responsibility is on you to explain all this.
Made it this far? Comment with Pope GIFs and pics.
Hello, dear faithful, and thank you for the ask! Vietnam was wonderful, and the people were friendly! Though, the procession was a bit overstimulating and tiring, no, but everything else Vietnam has to offer made up for it! Thank— wait, how do you say it in Vietnamese... Ah! Cam on Viet Nam! Forgive me if the accent marks are absent, not even Social Media Supervisor knows how to add a Vietnamese keyboard on the blog's dedicated laptop. —🍬
Which I bought btw! —👓
and i refuse to add a keyboard on the laptop. hassle —🐬
You had lots of fun in Vietnam, mi amor, —🦁
Oh, Your Holiness, why don't you answer your question, too! What is this "Curse of Saint Augustine"? —🍬
this will be under the cut btw —🐬
Well. Uhm. It's a secret within the order, can't say anything without getting in trouble with the Superior General of the Augustinians— —🦁
You're the Pope. —🍬
You're the pope —👓
ur the pope —🐬
...It— *sigh* It's also known as the Last Colours curse, the Law of Augustinian Attraction, the Law of Two, Metronomism...
Ok, Padre, but what is it though —👓
i have a hunch but go on —🐬
It's where all Augustinians are... —🦁
You can do it, Bob! —🍬
...we're all bisexual! —🦁
*audibly gasps* —🍬
Gasp —👓
GASP honestly yeah i kinda saw it from the start. only we could have such flair. nice to find a fellow —🐬
Fellow Augustinian? —🦁
*wheeze* Bisexual! —🐬
Oh. —🦁
Belated happy Pride, everyone! And we thank you for the wonderful ask, anon. We have learned something beautiful today! —🍬
(too suspicious? Uhhh just say it is a post of the pope about writers.)
Uhhh i know this is a bad place to ask this but uhhhhh, I wonder if they also knew about the uhhhhh writings about them?
(yes i am literally taking that post so terribly out of context I apologize but I also wonder how they would react or smth, i just found this one and thought of what if they found out about those..?)
(do delete this if this is not abiding with the rules though, thank you and apologies for taking up kuch space in your mailbox. Sweet dreams.)
note: long ass post
Hello Anon— —🍬
HI ANONYMOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING AN ASK AND SO ED AND I WILL NOW GET TO INTERRUPT HIS HOLINESS AND HIS EMINENCE. No, they do not know about the fanfics ☺️ —🐬
They don't even know what AO3 is! —👓
yup! trust us, i'm the social media supervisor and also an intern from the Dicastery for Communications, and ed's the papal secretary —🐬
I made that post because of Magnifica Humanitas... —🦁
See? :) —👓
...but also because Social Media Supervisor isn't updating her fic. —🦁
WHAT —🐬
YOU HAVE POPE LEO FANFIC??? —👓
uhm —🐬
Traitor —👓
Traitor. —🦁
And it was I who found your fic, Socmed Supervisor! For someone with a Dicastery for Communications internship, you are very bad at hiding your fiction. —🍬
i tried —🐬
And failed —👓
To answer your questions, dear Anonymous... well, first, we have to cut the post. It would be long. —🍬
——————————
It started when I first saw the edits, days after we came out of the Sistine. You know, the "Tagle-chan!" edit, for one, no? I can't find the Twitter link... but it started there, then I did some egosurfing on Twitter, found AO3, did egosurfing on there... and found the Robert Francis Prevost | Pope Leo XIV/Luis Antonio Tagle relationship tag. And then, during one of my private audiences with Bob, I showed him the fics, and at first... —🍬
I feared for my life! I thought the public was beginning to piece together our relationship! —🦁
well. having this blog is only gonna confirm speculation so —🐬
Yeah —👓
But anyways! After the fear settled, we eventually started consuming more fics... until Bob got hooked on it completely. So when Socmed Supervisor's fic took a day too long to update... —🍬
I wrote the tweet. —🦁
fine i'll write it *leaves* —🐬
Wait i wanna have input por favor *tags along* —👓
Okay. Now that they're gone, please do not be sorry, Anon! We accept every ask and will try our best to answer, when and how God wills it. It's alright to take up space, especially in pur inbox! You, and by extension the Catholic Church of Christ, are more than welcome to flood us. We love you, mahal namin kayo! —🍬

To the beloved members of the Catholic Church of Christ,
To be stripped of the worldly desires of the heart comes at a pain to many. We are flawed humans, tainted by the Original Sin.
However, as we strive to live in the manner which Christ lived on earth, we must persevere through the mortal temptations of this world, that we may be welcomed in to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Praise be to God.
—Leone XIV, Servant of the Servants of God
that's a whole lot of yearning —🐬
Padre Roberto, you can say you miss Tío Chito —👓
I do not. This is simply a letter to the Catholics. —🦁
Padre, it's a sin to lie —👓

Gentlemen... you do realise I still have account access, even from Imus, right? I made this [tumblr]. —🍬
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you get lots of candy and quality time with your loved ones ;)
Thank you, beloved child of Christ! I will be sure to enjoy time with my family back in Imus. I was actually on my laptop booking a ticket home when this ask came up! I'll make sure to bring lots of Filipino candy back for the congregation in Albano. Mahal ko kayo, I love you all! And thank you for the ask, anon.
