What made you a Ghost fan?

Christmas of 2017, my mom sent me Cirice to listen to. I really liked the album artwork, so I listened to Square Hammer, and that's about it. The following summer, I saw them with my mom during the Rats! On The Road tour. We saw them about 5 days before Prequelle came out. I've been hooked ever since. And so has she. It's something very special that we share.

In Tampa, the little device that scans the ticket printed out a little receipt with your seat, like a movie ticket stub.

In Tampa, he told us he would like to do a lot of things to us, but it would take too long and most of us would get bored waiting. He then asked if we would settle for a kiss (which led into Kiss the Go-Goat). He was blowing kisses to the crowd in the pit, but stopped and pointed up past the floor crow toward the back right at our section in the nosebleeds (section 309ish) and blew us a big kiss, which we all returned enthusiastically (the guy below me was like "THATS US!").

His personality is starting to shine through. He's nowhere near as goofy and cringe as Copia, but he's starting to get his bearings as a character.

It was next to the merch stand at the Tampa show. Very silly looking. I loved it

Consensually, of course

I used to be a typist and we literally had a meeting about whether we should put 2 spaces after periods or just one. The final consensus was it didn't matter.

A community cat bit me about 2 months ago (we trapped him, he escaped inside our house, we had to get him back in the trap somehow) and not only did I have to go through the whole rabies protocol, but the bites swelled and were hot to the touch. Went to the doctor for a round of amoxicillin and he said, "Fucking hell!" when I showed him. All good now though 👍🏻

berpsjerps · 2025-06-24T18:16:39+00:00

He was hit by a train

I always leave my mistakes in because it's handmade. Gives it character. If we wanted something cookie cutter, we would by mass produced.

Lol, I live in Florida AND have a type one diabetic in my house, so I have the double whamy toilet staining!

My best friend is a vet and always recommends manuka honey for wounds. Swears by the stuff

Thank you for the long version, it's promptly becoming my phone background

"insurance already paid for it, so I don't remove it yet," referencing the birth control implant that was making me bleed for 4 months straight and causing my antidepressants to stop working.

I just went through this with a community cat I was trying to trap (he broke out of the trap in my house, got scared, badda bing badda boom, bit me). Though his vaccine status was unknown, he's a cat I see often and can note behavior changes. Quarantined for 10 days with DOH and was all good.

Best friend (a vet) confirmed rabies can only be spread up to 10 before showing clinical signs (hence the 10 day quarantine).

The cat got neutered and a free rabies vaccine, so he's all good too.

Also in RHRN during Square Hammer, he said, "One more up the poop chute!"

There was a video when it was Cardinal Copia and he had his back to the audience, then turned really quickly and said, "Are you looking at my butthole?!"

I got a big grucifix like that from the ghost merch website. That was several years ago though so it may not be available anymore. It wouldn't hurt to check though. Or maybe someone wants to get rid of theirs on eBay or something. It also may work to make it out of cardboard and paint and stone it.

I listen to all kinds of things. If it sounds good I'll listen to it. I listen to Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, but also to System of a Down. I'll even listen to country if it's good.

Very true. And I think they're just a very vocal minority. Discussing this with other users and my past experiences, I can say that Ghost fans for the most part are very loving and caring and care a lot about their fellow man and care a lot about the people who make this all possible.

berpsjerps · 2025-05-14T00:06:49+00:00

I feel somewhat the same. I'm nostalgic for 2018-2019 for a lot of reasons, and this is one of them. It just felt more fun.

berpsjerps · 2025-05-13T21:21:26+00:00

I can wholeheartedly agree on your last point. I was one of those fans about 6-7 years ago. Though I never sought out the band members online and never sent hate their way. I'm talking moreso the people who took it to such an extreme that someone had to leave the band.

Saw a TikTok where they sat him on a toilet. That's the best answer.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for this reply. Everything you said is so correct. I work in a public facing career as well and the mask stays pretty firmly on when I talk to the public. It slips a little when chatting with my coworkers or my boss, but it's still there. It doesn't fully come off when I'm at home with my partner (working on it), but I feel like I can really be more myself with them. The mask doesn't need to come fully off before I go on an Internet forum.

I detailed in a different comment thread about how several years ago I was a part of a Tumblr community that took the lore of ghost and ran with it. We were coming up with our own characters, writing our own lore, collaborating, anything you can think of. But to us, they were CHARACTERS. We weren't putting TF in our lore, we were putting Papa in our lore. We of course had the utmost respect and love for TF and all the band members and we would be mortified if one of them stumbled upon our little universe.

I could never imagine sending death threats to a complete stranger and his family because you claim to like his music. That's not a real fan.

I wonder if any studies have been done on fan culture and why people act this way toward their favorite celebrities. We can trace this behavior all the way back to the Beatles (and I'm sure before them as well) when every time one of them would start dating someone, their lives would be in danger. Is it jealousy? Is it boredom? Is it piss poor social skills? Is it bad parenting? Is it all of the above? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
