Does this get posted elsewhere????
Fandoms
If I could bottle the sexual tension between Bonnie Franklin and Shnyder, I could solve the energy crisis. - Troy, Reality Bites
So, as you know, I'm prone to living in fantasy, to say the least!
Anyway, in any case, MUSIC aside, talking about fandoms and people we "ship", I think there are THREE combi / couples, I think I legitimately have shipped FOR A VERY LONG TIME. But, yeah there are only three, actually.
***Disclaimer: As I said, it's just a FANTASY shipping. I absolutely respect the individuals' ACTUAL partners IN REAL LIFE yo.***
やまはるコンビ/Yamaharu!
Yamada Ryousuke and Yamaguchi Haruna. Yamaharu!
They're just so cute together!! I'll be writing more on this later, so I'll keep it short here, but the both of them acted together in Kindaichi Shounen Jikenbou (金田一少年の事件簿) back in 2013 & 2014 and I think I've shipped them since I first saw them on screen together.
Charlotte & Tim
Tim Wheeler and Charlotte Hatherley! Well, this one I'm sure most people know by now. I super think they're so cute together. But alas, it's just a fantasy! (Chaz recently had her first baby! Congrats!).
Charlotte was the reason why I RE-notice Ash. I liked the bad from 1977 (the album, not the year), but it was Charlotte appearing on the backcover of the A Life Less Ordinary single that I really took notice and was obsessed with Ash.
I used to have the picture on my laptop wallpaper and I would wake up to the picture every morning and say a little prayer that Tim and Chaz would end up together but alassssss.... Life is Reality boo :(
David & Gillian
WELLLLLL... this needs no saying, the mother lode of all fandoms. Did you know that it was David and Gillian and their electrifying chemistry that actually COINED the term "SHIP", as in to support the pairing of a fictional character?
YEAH.
The word didn't even exist before David and Gillian on The X-Files. Sooooo... That says it all!
THE NOVEMBERS - Angels
NOVEMBERSおめでとうー
Wow. The new NOVEMBERS album needs digesting. And I think I mean that in a good way. It’s most definitely a huge break from their previous stuff. I’m definitely no music connoisseur, but it’s like a lesser version of NIN meets... wha? I mean this in a good way.
The album is titled Angels but the sounds conjure anything but. Unless said angel is a fallen one ( ̄▽ ̄)
It’s like a collection of distortion and noise, or- “what music can be birthed in this distortion and noise, let’s figure that out”.
And why’s Kobayashi still so angry? He has like a what? 4-year-old kid? Daughter at that! He should mellow down, haha ^^;
The titular track “Angels” has a bit of 70s Beatlesque British Rock going for it, and sans the distortions is totally NOT representative of the album’s overall sound.
Closing track “Everything” has a really 80s pop (?) feel.
I think most easily accessible tracks would be Angels, Everything and
Although, I think... I might actually prefer the other tracks because they’re more bold and they push the edge of noise that I think NOVEMBERS is trying to take with this album.
The mellower tracks skirt at the periphery, and contains elements from previous sounds. While safe, I feel they lack the guts to make them stand out in an album that screams noise and distortion to the nth degree.
Anyway, this is just the first listen. This album definitely isn’t easy listening. Will take time to process meanwhile.
On the Burning Edge
Mannnnnnn what did she think?!?!?! About the intensity between her and Tim??? (Guitars I meant, guitars)
IG stalking ^^;
Tim posted it first and Charlotte reposted it. It’s cute he replied haha.
I think Charlotte was in LA recording and Tim........... came over from New York to hang out...? Hmmmm!
Family indeed.

Tim & Charlotte (2019 revisit)
I think this was quite sweet that.. when asked about his entire Ash career being the fondest, he brings up Charlotte :)
Hahahha.. THEY KNEW what some fans were TOTALLY gossiping about!!
The picture that started it all, Charlotte! Her first proper introduction to the world as part of Ash.

When we leave the heat of the city and enter into the sparse dim lights of the country, as we draw closer, the cold, the darkness envelopes.
“What do you really lose if you lose him? Seriously.” He asked.
There was no answer because I didn’t know.
Maybe I’ll lose the sweetness of a memory that’s now dead and gone.
Maybe I’ll lose a connection I thought I might have had.
Maybe I’ll lose...
Maybe I’d lose.
“I don’t know,” I answered.
Because I really didn’t know or I just couldn’t articulate the feeling of loss that’s in my heart.
I don’t know.
And still those nights in your car remain.
And those conversations we had.
As few as they were.
As superficial as they were.
Maybe that’s what I’m sad to lose, but then... what’s there to lose if it’s already gone?
Arabic
(These were super hard to remember coz they look so similar and confusing among many others that are equally confusing due to similarities)
(I copied the romanization off a website to practice transcribing it to Arabic. The sentence mean “are you a doctor?”- I chose it for Mohammed who helped/is helping me with this. He’s a doctor. Unfortunately, I chose the plural form of doctor “aTibba” instead of the singular “Tabiib”. Oh well........)
