Ahnengeist

The spirit of one's future self, present in the moment, that

quietly knows the plans others hold for you will not come to

pass - watching with guilt, with tenderness, and from a slight

remove.

From German: ahnen (to sense, to have a premonition) + Geist

(spirit, ghost). Related to hiraeth and saudade.

She smiled as her boss mapped out her future at the company. She sat in quiet Ahnengeist - the ghost of her future self perched on her shoulder, already holding the secret that she would not stay

Alpengeist

Genuinely the best B&M invert. Glorious pull through the inversions, phenomenally intense, whippy but not too whippy, genuinely the best ride at the park by a mile. I want to bust every time I think about this ride. I swear it gives me MASSIVE erections, making my dick longer than the queues on a Howl-o-scream weekend. Absolute cinema from start to finish, “we used to goon to ts” ahh coaster.

Mr. Bolliger: “So what did you say you favorite B&M invert was? Great Bear?”

Me: “No, it’s Alpengei-i-i~~~” *busts a HUGE load on Mr. Bolliger for blessing us with the one true lord and savior Alpengeist*
