He did this with two photos of him and Skold together, captioning one with the anticipated announcement: "We are the things of shapes to come. MM + TS." According to the dictionary, "If you say that something is the shape of things to come, you mean that it is the start of a new trend or development, and in the future things will be like this."

Marilyn Manson also shared on his Instagram page two photos taken by Lindsay, of him holding a bouquet of flowers, which he captioned with: "The moon has now eclipsed the sun, the angel has spread his wings…", which are the well-known lyrics from "Cryptorchid" and "Antichrist Superstar".
