The Chronicles of Wiesbaden & Munich

Okay, it's finally story time! I recommend you to make it yourself comfortable, maybe with a cup of tea or coffee, because this is going to be one hell of a long ass post. Here we go!

Wiesbaden, 09.04.17

For some reason I slept like a baby the night before, even though we're talking about my first Ritual ever! Anyways, I was excited as fuck, obviously and fortunately overcame dat ghost drama depression™ . I wanted to make sure to be front row, so I showed up pretty early in Wiesbaden and met up with the lovely @inamorata13, who I met through tumblr, and we settled at the venue. We were only a handful of people and it was like.. uh 12:30 pm, I guess. The weather was fantastic throughout the whole day, I even had to use sunscreen, especially on my new back tattoo, because I was only in my white summer dress at some point. White dress? Yeah, I dressed up as an angel just as I have planed for ages haha. Fun Fact: I refused to look at these ‘Ghoul's-identity-revealed-pics’ that have been going around in numerous facebook groups, because I mean, I know a lot.. lot about the old Ghouls, but the new ones??? Well, so I wanted to make the best out of this situation and get to know how it feels like to have no clue at all who's behind the masks. It didn't take too long, until I got to know how new Earth looks, though. He was basically strolling around the venue and I asked @inamorata13 “who dis” and I got my answer. He also waved to us and I waved back thinking like “I have no idea who you are, but he Earf”. (Okay, I guess I shouldn't write, while it's already past midnight.) Ma gurl's friends joined us soon and the wait was real chill with beer and keeping watch for Ghouls, who I had no idea who to look for (I could've suspected anyone haha) or him. At some point, apparently Fire made his way through the crowd and I missed him, good job Vanessa. I was shown a picture of him though and woah, dat boi's hot.

Nothing too spectacular happened then, until we finally got to be inside and BINGO BABY FRONT ROW. We were standing center-right, in front of Fire - whereas I was rather standing between Papa and Fire. The girls have seen Ghost a few times on this tour already so they knew their spot. The opening band Zombi was.. uh, okay. Not exactly my cup of tea. I really dig instrumental stuff, don't get me wrong, but I feel like something's missing in their sound, like a singer, who will lull you in some kind of daze with these hypnotic tunes in the background. But only the latter for 45 minutes was a little.. boring. Sorry.

Once they started playing Masked Ball, I had this "THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW"-moment and before I even could comprehend what was happenening, these fuckers already started out with Square Hammer. Saying that I was shook, is a bloody understatement. I honestly don't know, if I was "eye-fucked" by Papa or the Ghouls, I guess so (?), I was way too busy trying to take everything in though. Which is pretty hard with everything that is going on there. These ghouls are very animated and interact a lot with the crowd as well as with each other. Beforehand, I was really gutted, because damn, I got way too attached to the old ghouls (which is also partly Papa's fault for making them kinda important and establishing them as actual characters *cough*), so my heart got kinda.. ripped out? I would've given a limb to have gotten the chance to see these old nerds. I'd still do. But all of this shouldn't belittle how much these new ghouls kick ass. There's nothing to complain about - even Air wasn't sitting that much and played that Mummy Dust solo himself, well done.

However, around mid-show, there was a drunk guy pushing his way up to the front, until he was second row a little left from me. He was cautionend by the security numerous times (in my opinion they should've kicked him out right from the start) and finally, he was bad news. He would flash his finger at Papa and call him names, we even have him screaming "Stop fucking around!" on video, while Papa was giving a small speech (can't exactly remember which one - need to check on my stuff). Anyways, I got really mad at that guy, because sure, everyone is entitled to their very own opinion and if you don't agree with has been going on, that is absolutely okay, but nobody needs this bullshit. If you don't want to support Ghost, or more specifically him, anymore, no hard feelings buddy, you do you, but then just stay the fuck away from a concert, where people want to have a good fucking time. The show was sold out, he could’ve sold his ticket. Easy, eh? Oh, and he noticed. Papa noticed and I too noticed him noticing it. Notiception.

Like sometime inbetween he was kinda hissing, how was it, something like "I can see your face. Better change that." The sass is real. The sass got even realer, when one of the Mummy Dust bills fell on stage and Papa picked it up, folded it once, put it between his lips and was - what I would say - looking demonstratively at the crowd. Touché.

Also, Water was in front of us, and I was cheering at him and he threw his pick at me... aaaand I caught it! I'm really bad at catching things during concerts, but those were a+++ reaction skills of mine. Ah well, actually he threw it more or less right in my hands.

Ma gurl also gave me Fire's pick, because she already has one and ahhhh, thank you again ♥.

Overall, time has flown by and yes, apart from that fucktard on my left, I forgot about this whole drama llama shit and had the time of my life. Before Monstrance Clock came on, Papa asked, who was seeing them for the first time and I raised my hand, like "ye it me" and my friends also pointed at me. Then, he looked at me and started asking me questions how I like it and stuff and I was dying inside (the good kind). From there on, he gave his female orgasm speech (watered down though, his speeches weren't too long each, which is kinda understandable) and I still kinda felt addressed, being that red-faced, unsullied angel (these wings were annoying as fuck, even though they are super small).

And then poof, the show was over.

After grabbing our stuff, we went to the bus, waiting.

Pretty soon, Fire came out and let's just say that he is very, very handsome to say the least. He actually recognized my friends, since they've been on his side a few times already and I, well.. poof, my social skills where gone. So basically, I ended up being an awkward bystander, hardly able to ask them if they can sign my stuff. I mean, I have spoken to band members before, like super casually (ahh Avatar come back), because I like having a good chat (as much as I like writing lol), but sometimes.. yeah sometimes, my social awkardness level is going through the roof and I can't even hold a normal conversation. Good timing, I would say. Aether was really nice and seemed to be that outgoing, approachable guy, Water stayed in the Bus after walking by us. I didn't see Air or Earth either. But then, he came out. I was not ready.

In an attempt not to stare at him bluntly, I looked back at my friend and she told me to look at him as long as I have the chance to. He made his way through the - more or less - circle and he was about to reach us soon. I wasn't prepared, but I got pushed forward and from this point on things went downhill big time. He was looking at me and whatever was left from my ability to human correctly disappeared. I tried to tell him, that it was my first concert and very special to me (also, as an lowkey attempt, to see if he would remember talking to me in Papa-mode) and he was giving me the look. I have read a little about it already, that puzzled look. That "I-have-no-idea-what-you-just-said"-look. Ouch. I don't want to sound arrogant, but my english is pretty good, I've always had a thing for it and I've been living abroad for a little while last year, but I don't know man. I guess, I wasn’t speaking loud enough, or something. Ugh. The tragedy continued as - after signing my ticket - I tried to be funny and ask him if I may invade his personal space by hugging him. I tried. And fuck me - I got the look again, the look. That light forehead-wrinkle-look. I think, I tried to repeat myself and at least he got the word 'hug' and suddenly I was in his arms and I mean, that's super cute and the hug was tighter than I had expected, but I was just too confused from this whole situation and my mind has gone blank. If I would be a normal functioning human being, I would've enjoyed that hug a lot more, but I just wanted to die right at the spot (not literally, but I think, you get what I mean), haha. He thanked us all for coming out numerous times and from what I could observe (at least) he appeared to be just as I have heard. I would describe him as very polite and friendly, with some sort of professional detachment - if that's the right word. Sure, after current events, I would describe the whole atmosphere as kinda tense, not to speak of my apocalyptic mood on a side note. Anyways, it was a blessing to see him and to get hugged by him, but also kind of a curse - considering the 'how'.

I continued to whine about why I'm such a weird potato and that whenever something is really important to me I screw it up for a good 30 minutes, thank you friend for bearing with me. Now, that I'm typing this, I can't help but smile to myself. Eternally complaining about it will get me nowhere and it's kind of a funny story. A bit tragic, but peculiar. And that's where the ‘Wiesbaden’-part ends. Way to go.

Munich, 23.04.17

A bit more than a week before this ritual I had quite the accident and basically the whole left half of my face got bruised/injured – not to speak that half my left front tooth broke off, as well as a little next to it. They were reconstructed provisionally, at least – but I wasn't sure, how far my healing process would progress until the Sunday of the Ritual. Long story short, my bruises almost faded (except for the ones on my knuckles and knee), as well as my black eye, which is pretty good, but I got some sort of braces to stabilize my tooth (they will come out next week) and so, I involuntarily exchanged my angel costume with a 13-year old's costume, lol. They aren't too visible though, but let's just say that my self esteem sunk pretty much during these days and I wasn't sure if I could get all of this out of my head (thinking about the impact is still giving me goosebumps oops).

To get straight to the point: I had a fucking wonderful day! For this ritual I too met up with @inamorata13 and her partner in crime, as well as @music-is-the-passion and not least my brother.

I was the first one to arrive at the venue from our group, which was around 1 pm, there were only 4 more there and we had no idea where to start the queue. Once things were settled, we saved our spot with our bags and I waited for the others to join.

Apparently, Papa was seen by the others just a good minute before I showed up – once again, good job Vanessa.

An hour later or so, most of the ghouls went from their tour bus into the venue and passed by us. Water called us 'children', I think (cheeky much, huh), Aether took his time to sign some stuff and chatted a little with us, Earth came out again just to talk to us, which was a super nice surprise and I already got him to sign my ticket from Wiesbaden. He asked ma gurls (who have seen them a few times already on this tour) where they're from, whereas I was kinda deep in my thoughts, when I felt someone poking my shoulder. It was him and he asked me aswell, where I was from and guess what – this time I didn't fail on being a decent human being and gave him a comprehensible answer. We talked for a bit longer and damn, throughout the whole day my social skills where a+++ (by my standards) – nothing could stop me. Afterwards, he also went inside the venue.

Overall, the wait was super fun actually. The weather was a lot different than Wiesbaden, since it was windy and cold, but we had whisky and beer to keep us warm, haha. Also, despite everything that has happened recently, I was in a great mood and as bubbly as ever, so we were laughing a lot and took pictures, etc. Time was flying and the queue got longer and longer, but my spot in the front was saved anyway, so I still ran around like an idiot, because I couldn't sit still.

Sometime the window of the venue (2nd floor) was opened and I heard someone randomly yelling, before it got closed again. I haven't seen who it was, but somehow I suspect it to be Aether.

Shortly before they started letting people enter, I joked around because of my braces and asked the security guy, if I need to show my ID then, considering how young I look now. I didn't need to and we found ourselves at the same spot like in Wiesbaden. The stage was bigger though and a bit farther away from the barricade. It was also quite cold inside the venue, so we danced as much as we could during Zombi.

And then it begun. Finally. Obviously, we went batshit crazy – my brother to my left, @inamorata13 to my right once again. Even writing a novel about how great their show is wouldn't do them justice – so let's just say that it was phenomenal. The light show was beautiful – better than in Wiesbaden, which most definitely sterns from the bigger venue, the sound crystal clear, so a big shout-out to Ghost's light and sound techs! You're doing a great job!

I also noticed lots of things, I didn't during my first Ritual: Papa's infamous air humping, Fire and Water carrying out a dramatic battle, and so forth. During his speech before Body And Blood, while he was explaining, that these Sisters of Sin would give us a physical gif, he referred to my brother, that it's not that kind of physical considering him smiling lika a Cheshire cat – it was too funny.

Towards the end, he came down near the pit to thank us all and I cheered pretty loud, which led him to point at me and nod, if I remember correctly. I didn't catch anything this ritual, but since I already own two picks, there's nothing to object to. Once the lights went out, I made my way to the bar and drank a coke, as if my life would depend on it. My circulations was pretty fucked, after all haha.

Then, we went to the merch table and I bought the Monroe-shirt and I'm so in love with it! I also encountered two cosplayers (Papa Emeritus II and A Nameless Ghoul Air) and they looked so damn accurate that I asked them for a group picture, they were super nice and in this moment I felt like being at a Con.

Of course, we started waiting at the tour bus again and lemme tell you.. it was so fucking cold, holy shit. I thought, that I was warmly dressed, but nope, I've never been so wrong.

After a little while, Water came out and he actually signed stuff (???). He said himself that normally he doesn't, but he feels so sorry for us waiting in the cold and so there he was. I asked him to sign my brothers stuff, before he put the upside down triangle on my ticket (so I've got all of em.. except Air) and my nose was free enough to notice that he smelled like weed – not that I'm complaining. He also used my back numerous times for signing this and that. Once again, not that I'm complaining. Dude's super chill. We thanked him and he thanked us, before heading into the tour bus.

Another while later, Fire came out – I don't know where to start. There was a woman, who gave him some sort of present, that was intended for Papa actually and didn't really understand what he was saying and.. uh, the situation was really weird, I could go more into detail, but let's just say that I cringed a little (and yes, this time I wasn't the reason for it weeeh). At the end, she took the bun by asking him if he could give her a kiss on the cheek. And he did. Like, I could hear the smooch pretty clearly and in fact, I was impressed – he's not doing things half-heartedly. Aside from signing stuff, he also gave hugs and laughed while saying “free hugs”. He's just super sweet, period.

Once it was my turn, I asked him to sign the CD of my brother and I also whispered “I too am here for the free hugs”, being the creep that I am. He smiled and opened his arms. I hope, he didn't hear me gasp for air, because I was just so shocked (in the best way) about how tight I'd be embraced by him. Thinking back to it, makes my knees a little weak to be honest. Be assured, that if you ask him for a hug, it definitely won't be a half-assed one.

I can confidently confirm the same about Aether. He is just an ABSOLUTE SWEETHEART, hands down. Now, let me explain why: After Fire left, he came out and greeted us all, signing stuff, thanking everyone, etc. I too asked him to get my brothers stuff signed and (since I've got mine in Wiesbaden) I had nothing left to do, than ask him for a hug aswell, huehauheuha. He said “Of course!” and it was one of the greatest bear hugs I've ever been in. Like the ones, where you sway around a little, if that makes sense. Not to mention, of how good he smelled – woah, I should've asked him about what perfume he uses. He said that I was really cold, which wasn't a miracle considereing that we were standing for a good two hours outside already and once we parted, I could smell that nice scent on myself too. He stayed outside with us for so long and woah, we spoke a lot about various things. I don't wanna write out too much of it, because I rather want to treasure this more privately instead of screaming it outside into the world, if ya get what I mean, but I/we got to know quite some stuff about him and he is just incredibly nice and fun to be around. He talked about how difficult it was to remember the whole coreography onstage and during his first show as a ghoul he thought like ‘shit, I'm definitely in the wrong place now' and started to shuffle around, it was hilarious.

After having spent a good 40 minutes or so (?) with us, he too went back to the bus – it was cold as heck after all and so we continued waiting for the one and only Papa.

And we waited. And waited.

And suddenly Aether came back out again with lots of beers in his arms and handed each and everyone of us one, plus opened them. It was Belgian stout, because it might could warm us a little, he said and that was the absolute kindest gesture, I was mentally in tears. So equipped with bear we carried on with waiting.

The metros didn't run anymore and at some point I had to give thought to organizing a taxi.. our train departed at half past 3 and the venue was a good 15-20 minutes drive away from the train station.

Ultimately, my brother and I, we had to take the cab at 2:45 am and so we missed him unfortunately. So yes, basically one hour wait was kinda for nothing and I couldn't feel my feet anymore, so where the heck was homeboi T??? @inamorata13 could stay longer and I got to know, that he came out shortly after 3 am and didn't expect people to be still waiting. So, he apologized a few times and signed stuff, etc. before heading to the bus shortly after.

Man, I wish I could've met him once again to make up for Wiesbaden, but oh well, life isn't always a bowl of cherries. Meeting him would've been the golden cherry on top of a big-ass, insanely-delicious sundae that this day has been, so for the third time: I can't complain.

What followed was a heavy, fucking case of post concert depression, but I'm mostly over it now, especially since I've booked flights for Stockholm in September, huehauheuha.

Yeah, that's it. Thanks for reading, if you have reached this far. I've always loved reading these stories and now, that I finally got to seem them too, I just had to write these unforgettable experiences down :)
