They're printed on matte photo paper :> The signature is discreet.
To the lovely US folks who might be interested: the one and only @heathenhijinx has accepted to be my Guinea pig for this test (let's thank him!!). Over the recent years, there has been trouble regarding mail between my country and the US. I am trying to see if the envelope arrives and if prohibitive taxes are not applied on arrival! If this works, I'll open international shipping outside of Europe.
Uuuuh damn this is hard!! Probably a Prequelle one. Witch Image or Life Eternal maybe? You're torturing me here friend. Okay I refuse to choose actually.
3. What is your favourite album?
Okay this one kinda got answered just above. Prequelle is my ride or die BUT Infestissumam is very close behind. With Impera too. But yeah if I had to choose just one, Prequelle. People often talk about how angry it is but I think it is also deeply personal in the sense that relationships of all kinds seem to be dealt with in it, it's also a bit bittersweet, and even quite serene at times due to the memento mori dimension. It's also about love of life of course because one cannot go without the other. Life and its feelings, love and grief and the pain of having emotions mixed to the sheer joy of it, accepting death as part of life, etc. So yeah I love what's going on there, in an album as in a coherent ensemble tackling many themes all connected to each other.
11. What would be your ultimate 20 songs setlist for a ritual?
Ok let's go. The order will not be thoroughly thought out because I'm no musical artist or entertainer and it's pub time soon IRL. Just 20 of my favourites:
1. Peacefield
2. Rats
3. Marks of the Evil One
4. Witch Image
5. FTPTTP
6. Mummy Dust
7. Umbra
8. Jigolo Har Meggido
9. Kaisarion
10. Watcher in the Sky
11. Year Zero
12. Ritual
13. Stand by Him
14. Spillways
15. Danse Macabre
16. KTGG
17. Square Hammer
18. Pro Memoria
19. Guiding Light
20. Life Eternal
Yeah that ending is meant to be devastating. Go home SAD! And find joy in the fact that you're experiencing this, and in the love for all your loved ones, past or present or alive or not, and for all that has been and is still to come <3
5: Is there a song you would send back to the pit, never to be heard again?
10: What song do you want to hear live?
5. Okay... Let's go... Bible. I always skip it. 😐
10. I was privileged enough to attend a ritual, so I heard many that I wanted to (Rats, Peacefield, Square Hammer, Mummy Dust, all the big ones). This being said...
Cover edition: Avalanche and Sympathy for the Devil would downright kill me on the spot I think. Ghost's rendition of them is extremely powerful imo.
Orignal songs edition: Witch Image or Jigolo Har Megiddo. Witch Image just because I love it, Jigolo because I think that live it would have the potential to create a trance like atmosphere and some sort of feeling of communion...
Hi, hope you'redoing good!! Firstly I wanted to say I really like your AU! It's a really cool concept!! And for the ghestie ask, wnated to know 1 & 6 from ya ;)
Howdy!! Thanks a lot! 🫶🫶🫶 I'm doing pretty good, hoping you do too.
1.How did you get into Ghost?
Purely by chance! I saw the RHRN trailer in theaters, thought 'damn this looks good' but couldn't attend the one (1) projection, so months later I downloaded the film, waited some more for some reason then watched it. Didn't understand a thing lore-wise but I was hooked. Then I found out they were passing through my town for the Skeletour, booked a ticket in a split second and spent the next month catching up with the music and the lore.
6. What is a song you would like to hear a Ghost cover of?
Maybe Avatar's Captain Goat? The mix of clear vocals and growling, and the music itself... Looks very Ghost-compatible to me!
6, 16, and 35 for the Get to Know a Ghestie meme 😊 I tried to pick ones that won’t get you fed to any wolves
Bwahahaha thanks but no worries! I feel confident everyone here is able to just scroll past a take they do not like.
Answers under the cut.
Speaking of wolves:
6. What is a song you would like to hear a Ghost cover of?
Too many choices here if I had to think about it in depth so let's go right off the top of my head with a Powerwolf/Ghost crossover because of the themes and aesthetics. Very different voices and register, but I think Tuberculosis Fungus could pull a neat cover of Vargamor. This being said, I know nothing of music theory so maybe this is a very bad idea.
16. What is your favourite Cardinal/Papa fit?
The black cassock with biretta for Copia owns my heart and other parts of me forever and ever.
But again, the choice IS overwhelming. Too many beautiful outfits. So honorable mentions to Copia's watcher in the sky fit, the military jacket, the tight black suit, Terzo's regular suit, Perpetua's full papal look and his fit in the Lachryma MV with the claws. These are just the ones coming to me at the moment, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
35. It's time for your weekly confession. Which Papa are you hoping for and which Papa are you dreading?
As an atheist I'm gonna assume that a (Satanist) confession would be primarily a heartfelt conversation, devoid of shame and leading to a better understanding of oneself in relation to the world.
I'm hoping for Secondo, ngl. I feel like he would be the only one with a sensible attitude + his face inspires trust as far as I'm concerned + he seems very grounded in the real world. Maybe the trouble would be avoiding his potentially depressed mood possibly rubbing off on me.
I don't dread any of them but I'd like to avoid Primo (a very all-in attitude regarding the end of the world is not really my thing) and Terzo (no offense, I just don't vibe with him if the goal is to get out of there with a deeper understanding of faith and my own actions or lack thereof. BUT the definition of confession and what it entails here is a bit vague I'll give you that. + Despite Terzo being the same age as Secondo (minus 3 months) he does not strike me as an experienced figure of authority the same way Secondo, Primo or EVEN Frater Imperator do. Idk it's just vibes. He would be funnier for black rituals or feasts I think.)
