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.
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.
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. The same note applies here.
— 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.
— Chito will be marked with 🍬 (candy emoji), and Bob with 🦁 (lion emoji). Use this as your guide to navigating the blog and addressing asks. Use 🇻🇦 (Vatican flag emoji) if you wish to address both.
— @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. In-character concerns? Address it to 🐬 (dolphin emoji).
— Edgard Rimaycuna knows about the blog now. Refer to him with 👓 (glasses emoji).
— 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. Also I'm not sorry with the ship lmfao
What even is a Dubai Chewy and an Ilocos Empanada (I assume that's what it originally said) —🦁
filipino shit —🐬
The Dubai Chewy Cookie is the Filipino approximation of the famous Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar, I do believe. And the Ilocos Empanada is... an empanada from the Ilocos region.
She says it's a meme of sorts —👓
yeah —🐬
You're equating us to food? —🦁
You might as well be. YOU EAT EACH OTHER OUT EVERY OTHER NIGHT —👓
This is our first Sunday on [tumblr], and it's also the first Sunday of June, so let us remind ourselves that we are loved. That's all, I love you all!
Hello Your Holiness and Your Eminence! I hope you’re both doing well!
I was just curious, how long have you two been together? And was there more to the ring moment at the inauguration? 👀
— Sincerely, a curious lay person
note: a kinda long response
We first got together in 2023, when Bob first became the Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. He approached me one night and said he liked me. From that day on, we were dating! —🍬
The ring meant nothing beyond rites, though. —🦁
Bob, it's a sin to lie! —🍬
Suuuuuure but you were blushing —👓
...okay maybe I told Chito the night before to treat it like a marriage —🦁
Whose bride are you though —👓
What —🦁
Christ or Chito? —👓
WHAT —🦁🍬
Bob and Chito have been dating 2–3 years, married for a little over one now, and the ring was their way of marrying each other. Thank you for the ask anon —👓
I'm sick and tired of this closet shit, I'm gay and in love with Chito. The private audiences I have with him? Holy makeout sessions. Sorry not sorry to Lou and John, but your youngest sibling is gæ.
—🦁
You said Vatican Media won't find out, right? Then I'll go off. —🦁
——————————
Bob, you're not supposed to swear! —🍬
We literally have a social media supervisor, Bob —🍬
Wait who —🦁
Hello you must be the source of the stench Papa Francesco was talking about —🐬
*screams of terror* —🍬🦁
Monsignor Edgard knows about this blog too. I'll make sure he won't snitch —🐬
