i love talking about tobias and how talented he is. his voice range is surreal; when he talks sounds like the most endearing lullaby ever composed. he’s such a weird little guy, simply a Man with his fifth-grade sex jokes and references. the way he smiles and makes funny noises in interviews.
he is so precious to me somehow. gives me comfort and some sort of peace of mind. his music allowed me to find my path spiritually, even if that was not the purpose, even if it’s just all a fantasy. it helped me. i met people, i was able to create art, to connect with a part of me i was afraid of letting bloom. hell, i received the best birthday present ever on june 1st, 2018 when they released Prequelle. on my birthday !!!!!!
ghost is such a big part of me, it’s turning 10 years next year, and i can’t even express how proud i am to finally have the courage to come out on the internet and talk about them, to be able to see people make edits, and draw, write, and just have fun with this stupid band. they’re all so silly and genuine, it’s not a mask — the mask is only for show purposes; the people up on the stage are really just being themselves.
and they allow us to be ourselves with them and enjoy ourselves. maybe that’s the real meaning, the real goal: for us to have fun and enjoy ourselves, and share those moments with thousands of people in a stadium, alone in our rooms, with tobias when he looks back at us from above the stage.
it’s just for us to be able to be the best we can be, which’s ourselves. no fear, no judgment, no prejudice. just us, in our most vulnerable state. when we are happy and not paying attention to our surroundings when we trust this community built around this anonymity. to be someone you always wanted to be. makeup and costumes are just accessories, because we are just having fun, and fun is the only state we are ourselves without paying attention to.
so smile, laugh, cry. be yourself, be vulnerable —just be.
they helped me to simply be me. i hope tobias is aware of that, because i know we somehow changed him and helped him just be a part of himself on stage and share it with us too.

y’all i know secondo is a grumpy guy but please consider: secondo being silly and goofy when the two of you finally enter into a relationship with each other
imagine: him leaving silly notes for you to wake up to when he has to leave early before you wake up, the occasional doodle of a cock in the margins. he doesn’t only wear silk robes to bed, he has pink boxers with hearts on them that he only lets you see. nobody knows about the novelty socks he wears with his polished dress shoes, except perhaps his brothers who got them for him for the holidays.
and don’t forget the “kiss the cook” apron he wears when he makes the two of you dinner, always leaning his cheek down for a small peck (you never forget). occasionally he will make pancakes on a the rare lazy sunday morning, complete with a crooked chocolate chip smiley face on top.
and he loves his erotica, although he keeps it on a separate shelf away from his religious nonfiction. if he’s feeling particularly silly, he will hold you to his side and read aloud to you (yes, he does voices for the characters. yes, he will also try to do sound effects to make you giggle).
secondo never gave himself the time to pursue any longterm relationships, at least with any partner that cared for him beyond the papal persona. so when you enter his life, he’s slightly frightened to let you see him without his paints, without his robes, in his crewnecks and sweatpants. but when you hold his hand, make a dirty joke and snort to yourself, he can’t think of anything better than making a joke as well.
