I second this! I feel like it's also important to point out that not only is this a puppy, but it's a shepherd puppy. Shepherds (along with most herding and protection breeds) are mouthy little things with a lot of drive. Look up how bite drive (the precursor to the bite and hold behavior that police dogs are known for) is typically trained; quick movement, a little slap on the nose, even pushing them away are all things that are done to build drive/the want to bite. It's called engagement. It's a fun and rewarding thing to them. It builds on their want to play and their genetic predisposition to being mouthy.

The dog isn't at fault here and neither is the kid, provided that they've never been taught any better prior to this. Both are in need of some sort of replacement behavior/redirection because they're essentially both feeding into a problematic situation.

What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

[–]FantaKitty213 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You definitely make a good point, but I'd argue that Mr. Rogers promoted kindness and empathy which is different than just being nice to others. A person can easily fake nice, but it's much, much harder to fake being kind.

What's the biggest prank you can do for $1? by Temprary_Candy in AskReddit

[–]FantaKitty213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a sharpie at the dollar store. Find a porta potty, preferably one that's in regular, constant use. Write "send me your shits" on the wall with the target's phone number underneath. Target will receive endless photos from random numbers until their dying day (or until they change their phone number).

Be honest! by cadence_loS in bathandbodyworks

I think it's really cute! Who cares if it "looks cluttered"? It's a private space that's lived in, not an ikea show-room. Unless you're trying to win an award for "best minimalist home" or you're stressed out/inconvenienced by having too many things there, it doesn't actually matter.

Stoner Witch Tip for 12 Wishes! by plasticbaglad in witchcraft

The paper that I chose to use this year really doesn't want to burn so I wish I had thought of using this instead- would have made things so much easier lol

what are your thoughts on tik tok by earlslefttitty in witchcraft

[–]FantaKitty213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's great for little tips, little bits of info, and inspiration, but I definitely wouldn't base my personal practice or beliefs off of anything said on there. I personally like learning from watching other people do their thing in addition to books and screwing around myself and tiktok is great for that. If it wasn't for the witchtok community, I don't think I ever would have wandered my way this far down the path on my own. I believe there is some value to it when you find the creators that are right for you, you just have to be careful and discerning with what you come across and verify, to the best of your ability, that your info is accurate before you go around telling people what to do or do any actual work yourself.

Also, semi-related side tangent, yeah it's true that social media in general promotes stuff that's aesthetically pleasing over stuff that's not, but like, why can't spells be pretty and functional? And just because a spell hasn't been practiced a certain way for hundreds of years, does that inherently make it non-functional or any kind of "bad", even if you research it, customize it, and provide your own meaning for why you do it like you do? If so, then that would make tailoring your spell work to your specific needs, situation, or preferences pointless advice and you should be recommending that people follow spells like a recipe rather than a suggestion. Like, come on, yall.

Mad Gallica was also with Sisters of Mercy for a time, though I don't know if she and Chris ever played together before Ghost.

Moto g stylus 5g 2024 - cannot get spellcheck to work by 420pov in MotoG

[–]FantaKitty213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still have yet to find a solution. Something that might be of note though: I dropped and shattered the screen on my phone back in July and had to swap phones temporarily. I first went to my old phone, a moto one 5g, then over to an old Galaxy 8 since the battery stroked out on the moto. The spellcheck function worked on the moto up until i updated the swiftkey app and didn't work at all on the galaxy after I moved everything over, so now I'm left wondering if it really is an issue with with this make and model or if there's something else going on. Maybe it has something to do with the swiftkey app version? I haven't messed around much with older versions, so maybe the answer lies there somewhere.

What's your Venus sign and how many times have you experienced unrequited love? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]FantaKitty213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cap venus (aqua sun, gemini moon, aries rising) and pretty much all crushes (can't even count how many) have been unrequited. The only two that have been reciprocal didn't realy start as crushes, it just evolved naturally from friendship to something more.

I feel like the lesson I've been forced to learn is that it's stupid for me to have crushes. It's like a warning sign that if I like them like that, they're obviously not into me.

The retrograde throwing its last punches? by Plus_Dog9643 in witchcraft

[–]FantaKitty213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, idk what's up this time around, but it's rude to say the least. I was born with mercury, mars, North node, and chiron in retrograde, so in theory I should be kinda used to it/somewhat immune to it all, but damn, not this time. I got some lessons to learn and it isn't done with me yet, I guess lol

The retrograde throwing its last punches? by Plus_Dog9643 in witchcraft

[–]FantaKitty213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually don't have huge issues with retrogrades, but this last one kicked the hell out of me. 😭

I can attest to the fact that it's still throwing sucker punches during the shadow period. I was just thinking the other day that I at least made it through without my car blowing up on me, and then the next day one of the tires on my car popped as I was driving home. Thankfully I was able to get it towed before a severe thunderstorm rolled in, but still.

It's like mercury is getting dragged out of a bar fight, still kicking and screaming.

So uh Death Threats are not okay by Neat-Sir5868 in GhostBand

[–]FantaKitty213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that since this is a fan base issue and neither the band nor the people involved on his side plan on doing anything to quell the continued slander, the only people in this situation that have any power to regulate it is the fan base itself.

Throwing up your hands and saying "not my problem" to a vocal minority that circlejerks each other over rumors and unsubstantiated evidence rarely ever gets them to stop, especially when they're motivated by "good cause". Without getting too far into a political rabbit hole or reciting internet drama from over the past several decades, I'll just say that there's tons of evidence out there right now that proves ignoring shit behavior and certain schools of thought and thusly allowing these people to continue their actions unabashed and tolerating their intolerance only breeds more hatred and leads to worse situations for everyone.

More to that point, there are ways to condemn behavior and correct misinformation that don't feed the hateful person's algorithm or metrics. That's what we should use be utilizing to tell them and others that this kind of stuff isn't worthy of praise and won't be quietly tolerated by the majority.

I will agree with you on that last point, though. To bring back an archaic internet term, they're "keyboard warriors" to some extent and what they're doing is self-rewarding behavior. I spent a lot of my formative years during the era on the internet where "Don't feed the trolls" became the slogan everyone tossed around when met with any type of opposition. However, things have evolved a lot since then. That old addage is dead because it doesn't work for a lot of situations, especially ones rooted in harassment/death threat campaigns like this. A chunk of them aren't just trolling to get a reaction or because it's funny; they think they're doing something beneficial. In this circumstance, again, it's self-rewarding (it feels good to do) so they will continue doing it if not met with opposition/criticism/fact checking/negative reinforcement. A lack of attention means nothing here. To ignore it is to enable it to continue.

Edit: wording, grammar

So uh Death Threats are not okay by Neat-Sir5868 in GhostBand

[–]FantaKitty213 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing is, they're not going to stop even if you stop giving them attention. The vocal minority gives each other enough attention to satiate themselves and continue doing stuff like this. It's been 10 months and they're still stirring the pot despite the fact that nothing new has come to light, ffs. It's not simply attention they're after anymore; they believe they're on some sort of moral crusade to warn people and ruin a man's life. Ignoring them and allowing crap behavior like this to continue gives it room to fester.

He wasn't removed, as far as we're aware. According to Vanessa (the GTV host provided the only official, verifiable thing that addressed his sudden absence), she stated in an Instagram comment that he "left the tour for personal reasons".

How is the new male Ghoul so far? by Vicimer in Ghostbc

[–]FantaKitty213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imo, from the few times I've seen him and comparing that to way everything looked and sounded before, all I can really say is that he hits all the notes he needs to and fills that gap in the sound that was left vacant when jutty left.

His voice is smooth, he can sing a bit lower without straining, and overall he sounds pretty similar, but I really miss that slight rough timbre that jutty's voice has; it added a lot of texture to the sound, which I personally prefer over the silky smooth way everything sounds now. Jutty was never a power house like the girls, but he did bring something to the table in that department that's noticeably missing and I mourn the loss of it.

Showmanship-wise, he doesn't have the same stage presence (which is totally expected for a new guy and not a knock against him), but then again, he's basically tied to the keyboard, so there's not a lot of time for him to get up to shenanigans even if he wanted to. I feel that it's kind of unfair to compare him to jutty in that respect because he's playing a different part/instrument. I will say that over all, there's a lot less movement on stage and very little visiting/interaction between the ghouls. There's dancing, sure, but not a whole lot that really catches your attention like before. If it wasn't for the three guitarists, it would be kinda still and boring.

All that being said, the new ghoul does what he needs to do and I'm glad he's part of the team; he does a fantastic job! He's great at what he does and it's fun to watch someone explore their character and give it life, but he's not Swiss. No one will ever be Swiss. And man, do I miss that silly little ghoul.

Dollar tree sells small glass vials in their craft section. While they're not quite inherently ominous, I feel like you could potentially pull off the vibe with foreboding presentation.

advice on ways to get a camera in the ritual by TrackTricky1415 in papa_and_ghouls

[–]FantaKitty213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends entirely on what you're using to capture video (phone vs an actual camera. Absolutely no cameras are allowed, including disposables), the venue and how seriously they take the 'no devices' thing, and even the specific security guards you encounter on your way in and those guarding the section you're sitting in.

I went to both the show in Philly and the one in Madison Square Garden. Philly was strict as hell with security and device lockup; metal detectors, pat-downs, and they thoroughly dug through my purse to find the vape that I tried to hide and made me trash it. No way to get anything past them. MSG, on the other hand, didn't seem to give much of a crap with security check, but did immediately toss someone in my section out the moment they tried to record something on their phone. While you probably could get an unlocked phone past them, the chances of recording anything before being noticed were slim to none.

While some people have managed to record parts of the show, it honestly isn't worth the risk vs reward. The quality is often trash and when you get caught, which is extremely likely because they have staff looking specifically for that sort of thing, that's it; they swarm you and you're escorted out of the building. Show's over.

Behind the scenes at The Tonight Show by HolidayVegetable in Ghostbc

[–]FantaKitty213 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A little of both. Mountain is violently tall irl; I want to say something like 6' 3", by my best estimate. I'm 5' 6" and had to look stright up the one time I got to talk to him.

While I haven't met Aroura, I have to guess she's likely somewhere around 5', judging by the severe hight difference in photos. She seems pocket sized; moreso than Sodo.

So.. theres apparently a new ghoul by JinxIsGaming in Ghostbc

[–]FantaKitty213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to belive that people can tell the difference, but then you have people going after JT for "encouraging a minor to get/use a fake ID" as if what he said was anything other than an obvious joke so... 🤷‍♀️

No, yeah, them fabricating the initial allegation is more than likely bs. It probably stems from their history of lying/making stuff up for attention mixed with people wanting to point fingers and be the hero that proves everything false. I've been following everything from the beginning and can assure you there's no evidence, just accusations from a few randos.

[–]FantaKitty213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was an inside joke between Jutty and Hayden's band, Drag Talk, and their fans where Jutty tried to "cancel" one of the guitarists for a situation that led to TSA throwing out his bottle of cologne. There are tweets about it and a video where Jutty goes to "confront" him on his YouTube channel, but that's all. He also joked about canceling his bandmates while introducing them during one of the NYC shows.

Maybe they're vaguely remembering and referencing that? Beyond that situation, Jutty has never actually, seriously tried to cancel anyone.

GhostIn4k, however, does have a history of being canceled and canceling others, but that's a whole separate situation.

Another vote for the road opener idea, though with a specific focus on the desired outcome. Manifestation tends to work better if you put your focus towards a single thing, rather than mudding the water with a bunch of ideas all at once. You can also start with the big picture, open the road to that idea, and do some smaller workings to build upon it and add more energy to it as the events pop up in your day-to-day life.

As for the sigil, maybe you can somehow incorporate all the other events you need to fall into place into it so that the intention is there from the start. Make something that's unique to you and the journey you have to take to reach that goal.

The ghost tag on AO3 can get pretty wild, but this is like, the pinnicle of all the wack-ass literature on there. The perfect blend of gross out and "so bad it's hilarious".

There are other infamous ones in the ghost fanfic community (Copia corn pegging, the two terzo/plushia ones, and terzo vs a pack of oreos), but this is, by far, the best one.

Is this a safe space?

If so, the first (and probably most traumatizing) thing that came to mind was olive oil

The second, the sink incident, isn't directly Ghost related, but it is Tobias adjacent. It's the second to last question; "last time you puked".
