#present for tobbe…

For any ghesties also learning Swedish who are maybe feeling bad that they can't understand Tobias in interviews...

He speaks so damn fast, y'all. I'm taking in other media as well, and aside from the occasional new vocab word, I tend to understand those guys just fine. It's just Toblerone Fudge who won't slow down because he needs to get all the thoughts out at once.

[star-stable-tournaments]

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!

Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.

I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.

Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.

Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.

Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.

The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

[thetimecrystal]

i have been working on a presentation about ghost lore for like. months now, and watching tobbe say that nihil is the papa's sibling broke me a little bit /j

[cheolsfae]

Can u do seungkwan future spouse? Thank you~

Sure thing!

*Disclaimer: solely for fun! Please do not take this seriously. For entertainment purposes only!*

Past: king of swords, 7 of wands

This person is extremely guarded, but they are also someone who'd rather compromise than start a whole argument. But that doesn't mean they won't start one if they need to. I get that this person is a fighter. Little feisty little thing! Good, they need to be able to keep up with the sass master himself. This person is stubborn, maybe as stubborn as they come. They want their way or the highway.

Present: knight of pentacles, 6 of pentacles

They are slow moving in relationships, but they are very giving once they warm up to you a bit. It just takes them a while to get going. Right now, they are ridding themselves of their own negative things. They are clearing out their own crap before bringing someone else into their life. Very responsible. Love to see it! They are getting themselves together for him. Even though they don't know it's him 😅

Future: ace of cups, 8 of wands

They are overflowing with affection to give him. I think when this happens, it's going to be fast paced. That's not something they are used to. They think it's a dream when they come across each other. Almost like it's too good to be true. I think Seungkwan is going tobbe the one to make the first move. He seems to be more of the rusher in this whole thing.

Bottom of the deck: the hermit

Overall, I think this person is very introverted. Balances out one another. This is a very fated connection. They were destined to meet one another. It's going to feel like they were built for one another! This is cute! 😭💛

*Oracle deck was also used!

[honeyydutchesss]

I am going to start with the present moment. I am not sure how to fully move forward without acknowledging the past, but I know that this is no longer where I want tobbe. This is no longer my story. I leave my past behind.

I move forward. No one is above mistakes, but no one also has to be imprisoned by them.

It’s ok to have a new story. I don’t miss my past, but I do miss my old self. Everything happens for a reason and the universe is always balancing out the scales for the highest good, so I don’t regret anything. And as dfficult as my life has been these past couple of years, I can’t say I would change anything. These past couple of years have felt like the worst years of my life. But even with that, I know these times are the most precious moments we have, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

I don’t know what the future holds, and that’s been weighing on me. But we’re also not supposed to know. We’re only supposed to do our best and continue to move forward.

Everhthing in my life has felt fried. But I am still here, and I am choosing to move forward.

[ultraviolet-x]

This evening's Legacy Live stream was so interesting, if you haven't seen it, go watch on the link below.

Some takeaways:

*There will be MORE SHIRTS with other characters (there is still hope, Garreth fans!)

*Emma (TikTok Emma) is all of us when she got so excited being presented with the Seb shirts and she mentioned the EDITS 😂

*Tom Felton actually played Sebastian's questline for six hours (would watch idc)

*Sebastian's name changed a few times in production and they were still writing him and changing things right up until recording

*I now know who is responsible for creating my fictional boyfriend

*And also who killed off Tobbs

*How they came up with the haunting score

*The best bugs, the giant Everett one made me LOL

*How they incorporated the film and book lore and the 70+ Easter Eggs hidden throughout the game

+ more

[slavghoul]

Tobias shows next level dedication. Not just to his work, but to his fans. He forges (😋) a unique level of community which only someone so talented, charismatic, and genuinely caring could create.

The importance he places on inclusivity and commitment to reach out to all of us who have lived in the shadows inspires me to stand up for myself and see value in my weirdness. I'm queer, I'm bipoc, and I'm used to being invisible, especially in the metal scene. Tobias has basically said, fuck that shit, everyone is invited. The only qualifications are kindness and respect.

The infernal world Tobbe weaves saves lives. I hope he knows this. Personally, his music has helped me process the severe religious trauma I survived and the loss of so many people I love.

Dans Macabre, Life Eternal, Witch Image have been my comfort songs as I watch my father battle stage iv cancer. It's the idea of Lucifer, the concept of independence, self worship, and strength woven through Tobbe's songs that help me face each day. His views of life and death, and how death is presented as something not to be feared, but to be respected and even celebrated have been helping me deal with my father's struggle with cancer.

Seeing Tobbe speak so honestly about his childhood struggles and privileges makes me respect him and his music even more. His home life wasn't always great emotionally, but he used his experiences to become even more caring towards his own family and his fans. He's just a good dude, and of course, he is a musical genius and amazing performer.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks to Tobbe and the Ghouls for being my morning star in this very long night.

And thank you, Slav for giving us this window into the heart of Ghost. 🙏🏾

What a wonderful response. Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the comfort and love in the world.

[papaemeritusiiiownsmyass]

Era 6 theme predictions:

Since that interview where Tobias was talking about already knowing what the theme of album six is, my mind has been reeling and I had a thought:

Pirate punk.

Papa IV (WHO WILL BE ALIVE AND WELL IF A LITTLE BRUISED OF EGO) failed in his papal role and Papa V is the new "Captain of the ship."

Papa V's vestments/stage costumes will reflect that.

The ghouls will be a crust/pirate punk mashup:

I really want to hear Tobbe say "Yo ho ho motherfucker"

My reasoning:

Tobias has a fascination with pirates and recently talked about the musical directions Ghost could potentially venture into, including punk.

He wrote a metal/reggaeton fusion that's gotten very enthusiastic reception, so if it were me - all bets would be off the table.

Wouldn't this be fucking AMAZING?!??

Thank you this has been my tiny presentation.

[onzeziggy]

[yourdarlingfaux]

lol more asks cuz why not

(u dont have to answer if u dont wanna but idk u did say multiple are okay)

Is there a ship you no longer ship and why?

rant about any ship you love but feel like you don't talk about enough

(ok this aren't listed question) is there any pairing you think is better as a friendship?

if you could rate all your hetalia ships from 1- how ever many you have( 1 being your favourite) what would that list look like?

if you could go to the wedding of one of your ships- which ship would it be? and why

which ship is the most chaotic?

what would your ships be like as parents?(you can do one ship if you want or mulitiple)

anddddddddddddd

give a description of your ship/ships in a nutshell, so like what is their dynamic basically like

oof sorry about so many askssss

l do be curious tho

Dude omg please don't be sorry look you are SPOILING ME with these thank you very much I crave attention lmao

⚜ Is there a ship I no longer ship? Why?

Hm.... there’s none that I can think of! So if I ever dropped shipping something it’s probably because I forgot! :p

I would be putting FrUK/USUK here but I was never really avid about them to be no longer shipped and I still like them on occasion

⚜ Rant about any ship I love but feel like you don't talk about enough

Spaus!!!!!! Spain and Austria!!!! I talk about Fraus but Spaus??? Nationverse Spaus??? They had the same thing going except.. a very different energy. These are two men who married while still trying to find where they fit in the world, they fought wars against each other, they were not perfect in any way, but they were husbands, and they always respected each other as such. Human AUs, same thing, they weren’t perfect, they had to grow so much to get to where they are, and often times they'd go DAYS without speaking to each other, but they'd still sit down and chat with their music, Spain on the guitar and Austria on the piano, sometimes they wouldn't play long, but just a few notes and strums exchanged served as a reminder that when they're ready to talk again, they're both ready for each other

Omg wait brain juice FLOWING Hungary x Belgium.... it’s always been hard for me to like them bc of the ship name (for some reason??) but I’ve been thinking about it and I just... wow...... Horse knight woman(? Woman debatable) and a woman who smells like chocolate :) mm.. that’s a vibe

Also I have very very VERY few Ideas on this but Belarus x Seychelles SLAPS in the most positive way 

⚜ Is there any pairing you think is better as a friendship?

Hmm, I’m gonna have to go with USA x N. Italy!! I love them together a lot but I have a hard time seeing them actually being in a romantic relationship :0

Also Estonia x Finland! I think they’re good friends! MAybe tried some intimate stuff in the past but Finland moved on from that and Estonia, in my hc, discovered he’s hetero/aro ace! Which in this case just means Ukraine pretty--

⚜ Rating all my favorite 2p/Hetalia ships from 1-5 because I have way too many ;,)

Hetalia ships in order of how much feeling I have for them when I look at the list

France x Austria

France x Russia

France x Turkey (gee haha I wonder who my favorite character is)

Cuba x Canada

Germany x England (more in human aus tho :) )

Honorable mention!: Romania x Prussia

Honorable mention #2!: Netherlands x Canada

Fav 2p ships in order of how often I think of/write for them

2p France x 2p Austria (wow! shocking!)

2p Sweden x 2p Finland

2p Germania x 2p Ancient Rome

2p Russia x 2p China

2p Germany x 2p Italy

Honorable mention #3!: 2p Egypt x 2p Turkey x 2p Greece [ETG trio]

⚜ If you could go to the wedding of one of your ships- which ship would it be? and why

2p Ancient Greece and 2p Ancient India! I’ve never written them ever and 2p Ancient India is barely a figment of a character but holy shit!!! They would have an amazing wedding!!! No expenses spared and absolutely extravagant!

Or 2pSufin! Cool wedding! Small and cozy because they both have sensory processing issues and it’d just be a very comfortable place to be! :)

⚜ Which ship/s are the most chaotic?

Romania x Prussia (if you can’t imagine why this would be.... I don’t know what to tell you)

Prussia x England (two tired overworked punks)

2p Greece x 2p Japan (half their dates prob consist of running from p!gs for being caught spray painting places that are queerphobic or xenophobic and the others are spent in libraries and museums)

2p Italy x 2p HRE (two kids who don’t know what emotional regulation is)

⚜ What would my ships be like as parents?

Ok! I’ll start out with the ones that I’ve already given children :)

2p Ancient Greece and 2p Ancient Rome (Famous AU): They..... they really tried... they tried so hard to work out their issues for the grandkids, but of course in the end that never works.. they raised the Italy brothers after an accident happened that left them as orphans. Eventually, Melita did leave Cassius, but she also left the grandkids to be looked after by him, and she continued to be absent until the kids were in there mid-20's. Cassius tried his best with what he had, but his best wasn't healthy and was too much self projection because he didn't want them to be hurt as he was, but it backfired, it backfired a lot.

2p Germania and 2p Ancient Rome (Famous AU): Cassius was there to help Berinhart help raise Roland the moment Roland was turned over to Ber's custody, like, that very night. Though Cassius wasn't always present because he was still "with Melita" at that time, but once he was responsible for his own grandchildren, that did start changing in "getting the kids together for socializing" so they could start seeing each other more. Berinhart is a good parent, well rounded and knows how to motivate positively for even the most mundane things

2p Sweden and 2p Finland (most AUs): They adopted two kids: Jack (2pSealand) and Kurt (2pLadonia). Tobbe’s not the best with getting along with children but he’ll be damned if he’s not going to try his best to be with Vaito to raise them with him. Tobbe makes the meals and teaches them to cook and how to clean up after themselves and Vaito teaches them how to clean up bigger messes so Tobbe doesn't have to look at them. Kurt and Jack are in good hands :)

2p France and 2p Austria (however this is only in my Genshin Impact/2ptalia crossover au): François isn’t really interested in a kid of his own and didn't know Roland "had" a kid until he went back to Roland's hometown with him, it's not that Roland didn't talk about Nikki, it's that he never mentioned that he was actually the one raising them until Roland left to travel the world, which left Nikki with Berinhart. François is glad he doesn't have a complete parental role with Nikki but he will fight tooth and nail if harm ever falls on them. And Roland loved taking care of Nikki because they're a founding just as he is but he just didn't feel like he was prepared or good enough to be a good parent for them.

⚜ A description of my ship/s in a nutshell / My ship dynamics in a nutshell

I think I have a wide range of ship dynamics ranging from:

Total of 1 braincell combined and they share it like the three fates in Disney's Hercules (Prussia x America namely)

Socially stunted smol and socially stunted tol

Classy gossip partners apparently

Homophobic bigot because of Unresolved Catholic Trauma and woman who thinks that All woman are bisexual (too niche? It's 2pRome x 2pAncient Greece in human AUs)

I have too many tbh, I don't prefer one type of ship over another so I really can't put all of them here-

Person who's experienced way too much trauma at a young age x person who had a lot of different trauma at a young age and are doing their best to help each other recover (2p France x 2p Austria)

i got super high last night and now that i’m alone I get to listen to music and space out (the best part of being high)

darkness at the heart of my love was crazy, it made me realize that in a way tobbe is still real and still present. like no he’s not a separate person no he is not my dad but i thought he was a part of me, doesn’t that say something? i was my own father the whole time and that still lives inside me. he would put me through the darkness at the heart of his love for me and that means i would do it for myself. i’m proud of who i am and how far I’ve come and that whole time it was just me putting on a funny voice and telling myself that as someone else. crazy

Dishes at workplaces will be served with disposable plates

The coronavirus outbreak has increased the interest in disposable plastic products that stand out with their hygienic properties.

Nobody wants to use cups, spoons, forks or plates used by another person anymore. Due to their hygienic, practical and economical features, disposable plastic products preferred in fastfood, cafe, tea garden and picnics; It is now consumed in hospitals, homes, factories and quarantine areas to prevent the spread of the virus outbreak.

Last week, the Ministry of Commerce launched the application, which made it mandatory to sell fruit, vegetables and bread in the bag.

Within the scope of the fight against the epidemic, the Ministry of Family Labor and Social Services also took action and a guideline on measures to be taken at workplaces was published. In the guide published on the measures to be taken in the workplaces within the scope of combating coronavirus; Malzemeler Materials such as spoons, forks, knives and glasses used in dining halls and rest areas in the workplaces should be presented as Disposable. Turkish Plastic Industrialists Research, Development and Education Foundation (PAGEV) President Yavuz Eroğlu, who made evaluations about the regulation that envisages the use of disposable plastic products in factory, resting areas and places where food is eaten, Yavuz Eroğlu, who took measures to protect the health of consumers, and the Ministry of Trade, Labor and Social Services. He thanked his Ministry.

FACTORIES HAVE BEEN USED FOR SINGLE USE

Indicating that disposable plastic products are preferred even in the home, EroğluRecalling that in many factories where mass meals are served, disposable containers were used to prevent the epidemic, he said:

“In order to prevent the virus outbreak, some factories switched to disposable containers at their own dining halls, but the seriousness of the work was understood with the guide published by the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services. While porcelain dishes or metal table-top containers were used in the factories in the past, disposable plastic containers were used for collective food consumption with the coronavirus. ” Indicating that the intense demand caused the depletion of plastic disposable products from time to time on the market shelves and retail, Eroğlu said, “The increasing demand with the concern of the virus has decreased the stocks in some markets, but the empty shelves are being filled rapidly. Turkey is the largest plastic disposable packaging manufacturer in Europe after Italy. In this sense, we do not anticipate problems in the supply chain. We are in coordination with our manufacturers. We do the necessary work to ensure that the market shelves are not empty. We take our precautions to avoid any problems in all inputs that our companies need for production, especially raw materials. Turkey, exports after China and Italy 3. Major players in position. Plastic disposable products factories producing at full capacity running and meet the demand of both overseas domestic and veriyor.israil 25 percent share of Turkey's most disposable exporting countries, while these countries is France, followed the UK and the US. Turkey 2 billion 105 million pounds in 2019 produced disposable plastic products. About half of the aforementioned production was offered to export and half to the domestic market. ”

DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS EVERYWHERE FROM HOSPITAL TO HOUSES

Emphasizing that the KOVİD-19 epidemic reminded how important the disposable plastic packaging is in terms of hygiene, Eroğlu said, “All of the products from the medical products in the operating room to the clothes and protective gowns worn by doctors are made of nonwoven fabric made of polypropylene raw material.

Test tubes, syringes, medicine containers, and even respirators are also made of plastic. The protection of the foods that prevent the spread of the epidemic against viruses that can be transmitted from the hands or breaths of other people is also thanks to plastic packaging. Hidden heroes on the other side; plastic disposable cutlery, knives, glasses, plates prevent the disease from passing from one person to another, in hospitals, quarantine zones, nursing homes, factories where food is consumed, even at home. ”

BAGS TO PREVENT THE OUTCOME SHOULD BE FREE

Expressing that nobody wants to use the spoon and glass used by another because of the virus epidemic concern and therefore the demand for disposable plastic products has increased, Eroğlu continued his statement: “On the other hand, the use of plastic bags has also increased. In markets to reduce the risk of virus contamination to food and to ensure hygiene; Packaging obligation was introduced for bread with vegetables and fruits. As PAGEV, we argue that until the days when the epidemic prevails, it is necessary to return to the free bag application and this will be the best hygienic decision. Mesh and cloth bags, which are used many times, can carry the virus from the market to the house from home to the market. In this sense, disposable plastic bags can prevent the increase of epidemic. With the circular issued by the Interior Ministry, it has announced that after 24 hours, restaurants will not receive customers, but can only send food by takeaway. It is also possible to deliver food to homes safely with plastic packaging. ”

Market, greengrocer and fresh vegetables and fruits sold unpackaged in the market will be sold by the sellers in hygienic conditions without being selected by the consumers ”.

Disposable products are produced without touching

Talking about the preference of disposable products, Eroğlu said; “Products that are produced and packaged untouched in fully automatic machines have the feature of being hygienic. In the days when the virus epidemic is experienced, disposable plastics are used for the first time and have not been touched by someone else and they are hygienic, and that these products are thrown into the trash after use, ensuring that someone else will not use this product. Therefore, this feature is very important nowadays when epidemics are worried. ”

COMPLAIN WITH EXCELLENT TIMES

Eroğlu, who wants consumers to complain about the exorbitant price increases of disposable plastic products to PAGEV and TOBB's related department, stated that there may be a small increase in exchange rates in plastic products such as disposable cups, plates, forks, spoons and knives. The information of some retail points with over 100 increases came and we made the necessary warnings against these opportunists. No member of PAGEV made any increase in domestic sales except inflation and exchange rates during this period. As PAGEV, we warn the opportunists who make exorbitant price increases and even request legal action by reporting them to the relevant units of TOBB. Our aim is not to leave the indispensable plastic disposable products at the mercy of opportunists for the prevention of public health and infectious diseases. We aim to deliver our products, which have an important role in preventing the epidemic, to our consumers without interruption, at the easiest and most affordable prices. ”

The plastic industry, together with its business partners in the entire supply chain, meets the needs, treats patients, and protects the healthcare personnel, while producing products that will prevent the spread of the epidemic with disposable cups, plates, forks, spoons and knives. One of the most important reasons for the reduction of epidemic diseases from past to present is disposable products. Therefore, we say that; plastic is health, plastic is hygienic, plastic is environmentalist, plastic is a valuable material that facilitates every area of ​​our lives. ”
