Frater's Ghoulette

Me: It's nice to focus my musical ADHD hyperfixation on something other than Ghost for a bit
Also me: MORE SUBVISION PLEASE.

Me in a cool oddities mirror wearing a green coat and a Paoa Emeritus IV shirt from the band Ghost.

Catch me living the rest of my days at oddites and curiosities shops.

Mornings are for coffee and quiet contemplation with Billy Joel.

If we're telling truths, I will die on the hill of double-nose-slit Papa IV makeup.

Just sayin'.

Such a millennial mood to see a Pop Funko in the store and get a nostalgic twinge for someone you no longer speak to, while hoping it's shared across space and time in a bittersweet exchange. Life is weird, time is a thief, fandom ties survive like cockroaches. 🖤

My 15 year old is doing everything in his power to leave the country for college. If anyone is wondering what it's like to have kids in this shitshow.

Same!

Mug envy 😍

Same here! I was such a little hippie, totally obsessed over the Beatles, Hollies, Simon and Garfunkel...but the Monkees were my main jam! I'm a NezHead myself, damn near crushed me when honestly all three of them passed away. So glad I saw them all at some point in concert.

STOP seriously?! You are the first other person to prove my 'the Monkees to Ghost hyperfixation pipeline 100% makes sense' theory! Ah, to be a teen in the early aughts role playing in the official Monkees chat room 🥹 Who was your favorite?!

Picture of the Monkees Listen to the Band compilation boxset from 1991

Proof that old hyperfixations don't really leave us, they just momentarily fade into the background...spontaneously snagged with rare Monkees boxset on Facebook Marketplace for $25 and inner teenage me was squealing with delight.

I'm just an elder millennial whose teen kids got me into Smiling Friends and now I'm oddly emotional that it's ending after the final two episodes.

Not sure binging Hozier on my morning commute was the best idea for my depression, but it sure was fun.

A sweet little plushia napping in an Olive Garden bread basket. Shh!

Little guy tuckered himself out at dinner.

Fleabag is such a good show. The character building, the emotional arcs, the witticisms. No notes.

Ooo, I'll have to check that one out too!

Ha, right?! I'm meeting the 4 hobbits in August but I don't want to get back into all that mess while I plan our cosplays lol Kinda getting into the same zone of 'this is my personal fandom with like two friends who agree'

Dude, seriously!! This is supposed to be a small respite from the constant worry and dread about what's going on.

I hear ya, I'm 40 and have been around the fandom carousel one too many times lol I survived the LOTR movies and gatekeeping, for cryin' out loud. Just gonna vibe with my vinyls for a bit.

CANON I SAY. I type too fast sometimes

You're right, but I liked the brief sense of fun community. I love to cosplay and geek out about music and lore and fan fic, but like, I can't do this anymore. Facebook is just generally toxic and awful so I've been done with my personal page part but damn, whose gonna read my eventual fanfic now?

Same! I feel weird now for generally having a blast in this cycle. And I'm a Copia girl through and through, but Skelta was fun as hell! I just wish I could find a fandom to chill out in, same thing happened in my Yellowjackets fandom, just utter meltdowns.

My typo of Yobiad is canonical because I can't edit it Bluesky sorry everyone.

2/2 the band getting greedy and plastic under Loma Vista. Basically Ghost screwing over their fans and abandoning the original vision for this lofty stage production KISS vision and I'm just...too tired for this, I just wanna hyperfixate on a goofy Satanic clergy in peace

The general anger consensus is that he must have canceled the remaining gigs in other countries as that takes months of planning and he only recently officially canceled. Which then spiraled into Yobiad thinking the band is bigger than it is because of the stage show he can't move and 1/2

Well, the death knell for my Facebook usage is the utter meltdown fan groups are having over the Ghost hiatus and tour ending. Angry posts, swearing off the band forever, ripping apart this album cycle. It was the last thing keeping me on that stupid site.

I'm laicized.

A bottle of wine sitting on an antique pulpit next to an antique Bible.

Splurged on a fancy bottle of Palermo cabernet to celebrate my husband's promotion at work. It matches our decorations pretty well.
We collect antique church furnishings and decor, as an aside.

As a Lottie stan...I agree.
