RAREPAIR SHIPS WITH MY OWN OCS—🎰

notes: i know i know, basically non-cannon ships, slight age-gap, lots of queerness, also showing off my new oc updated personalities and pronouns if i did change them

—Astro x Aether: Middle children

—okay okay just here mw out on this one i swear

-so so they are around the same age, astro being older month wise

—but this is so obvious and cute to me like one day i was just like: “what if astro and aether dated?”

—also i changed aether’s sexuality to be omnisexual but with a prefrence for woman

—and i feel like they’re relationship would just be constant flirting but aether taking it more jokingly while astro being more serious

—and because aether only flirts with people that are more shy then him i feel like astro being extremely blunt and flirty towards almost everyone would make him shy and giggly

—*vine boom sound effect*

—oh fuck did i just drop faceclaims too yes i did

—yes lee felix has aethers face just shut the fuck up

—people when i mention that aether owns a whole ass casino: 😱😱😱🔥⁉️⁉️🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳😎☹️☹️

—yeah but support the movement of astro x aether for sex

————————————————-

—Hiraeith x Tyler: Annoyed X severe flirt syndrome

—okay i know this isnt really a rarepair i just havent made a post on it yet

—but this AU is so fucking funny and i luv the mafia side of it like hiraeith is so fucking annoyed by his shit and he just blinks cutely

—hiraeith: “after this, i’m done with you!”

—tyler: “no ur not lol”

—but i feel like it would be her bickering half of the time and him just being un-bothered.

—please leave me alone this ship is so stupid

—oh nooooo i dropped my faceclaims again even though they arent as atturate as aethers and astros

—they are basically complete opposites or married

—tyler is so fucking stupid and touching i hate him

———————————————————————————-

DROPPING SOME OC HEADCANNONS AND QUESTIONS I GET HERE TOO;

—“why do i write mainly either romance or depressing shit.”-friend

GALAPAGOS

For this interview we spoke with Adam Ferris (AF, above centre) and Matthew Wood (MW, above left) of new local indie band Galapagos. Check out their Facebook and Soundcloud pages to give their new tunes a spin, and see them live on Friday, March 24 as their introduce their new drummer, Tyler Johnston (above right)!

Latest release: Lungs (Single, February 2017)

Upcoming shows: March 24, 2017 - The Nude Dogs, Fire Antlers & Galapagos. 8PM. $7. Pressed Cafe, Ottawa ON. May 13, 2017 - Heart Beach, Galapagos, + more TBD. 8PM. Bar Robo, Ottawa, ON.

SA: How did Galapagos start as a band, and how did you come up with the name? AF: Matt and I had always talked about getting together to work on music. Our schedules for whatever reason never matched up for us to do that until the fall of 2015. This was when my last project (Waxing Moon) stopped playing shows and Matt was free from his last band (Idle Lie). We finally got together and started working on some songs I had been working on. The sound of Matt’s guitar playing really brought my simple songs to life. It was exciting and comfortable right off the bat. We played under a few names for some open mics including Aeros and then Mosey. We then realized that it sounded too much like local band Mosely. The name Galapagos comes from the name of one of my favourite Smashing Pumpkins songs on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I loved the name. My partner at the time thought the name Galapagos sounded great for a band and then Matt loved it too. I think it sounds fun and exotic. It sounds like a place where things evolve. MW: A lot of what Adam was writing reminded me of a few bands back in Indiana (Chaste By Bears, Prayer Breakfast, Husband&Wife). It had this Midwest feel to the songs with a nice poppy hook to it. When I was listening to his music, I immediately had ideas for complementary parts to add to it.

SA: Who are your biggest influences, musically or otherwise? AF: Musically speaking I am mostly influenced by things from my teen years like Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, and Hayden. In more recent years I have been a huge fan of acts like Catfish and the Bottlemen, Deer Tick and Ryan Adams. These bands mostly influenced me with the sincerity in their lyrics. As a Pisces, I enjoy wearing my heart on my sleeve. So the songs are influenced by my current experiences. Part of that is my continuing my journey through personal growth. Some of these awarenesses and struggles come up in the songs. I lean more towards reflective and emotional lyrical content while others are just straight-forward and direct. MW: Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) due to his innovative guitar style while finding amazing ways to combine traditional electric guitar with digital manipulation. Nick Drake for his somber chords, his tragic story, and his powerful influence for many artists. Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozelek for his honest lyrics and melancholy themes. Also, because he’s a fellow Midwesterner.

SA: Thus far in your career, what has been your biggest success? MW: The biggest success so far was just forming this band. It took a long time for us to get together and see what we could add to one another’s songs. Once we set aside the time to look at everything, we started to create music we were proud of and loved. AF: I'd have to say the fact that we haven't rushed this process. We have let the process guide us and lead us to where we are supposed to go. It's been challenging at times but rewarding overall.

SA: On the other hand, what is the biggest challenge you have faced, and how have you dealt with it? AF: For me it has been balancing my wants musically with the reality of growing up. How much money and time can I spend on this? Who wants to commit to this as much as I do? I’ve always preferred the camaraderie of the band experience and having space for some solo work on the side. It allows flexibility for the different songs I write. Sometimes a song will work better on my own than as a part of a group and vice versa. For me, finding people I can trust and get along well with has been difficult. Luckily, Matt and I get along great outside of the band context and I fully trust him musically. I have had too many musical projects start strong and then putter out. I am hoping that this isn’t the case with Galapagos. With this project I have approached it with patience. I haven’t forced a time frame on things or creating a particular sound. We have let it be what it needs to be. We are allowing Galapagos the space to breathe and grow and evolve. MW: The biggest challenge has been to break out of my usual rhythms and chords and try to learn more for guitar and adding texture to the music. There are times I feel everything I do is derivative of something I’ve done in the past and this either frustrates me, or pushes me to do something new.

SA: How do you approach the song-writing process? MW: Adam usually brings in some snippets of music or a full song. Once we hear it, Tyler and I play over top and see what we can add. AF: It ends up being a totally collaborative effort with each member bringing their own unique ideas and influences to the songs. It helps the songs grow into something that it didn’t really sound like when I first brought it to the band. There is something really special about creating music with other people that you don’t get when one person runs the whole operation. It’s exciting process for us and I think we really enjoy playing together.

SA: What are your thoughts on the Ottawa music scene? MW: It’s been blossoming so much the past 5 years. Apart from the loss of Mugshots, The Daily Grind, and Folklore Centre in Old Ottawa South, the Ottawa scene has been very proactive in building up the economic and communal presence it needs to become a more prominent cultural hub in Canada. AF: I really hope that the scene continues to grow. There is a great diversity amongst the acts and there is not an evening you can’t go out and see great live talent for a great price. This evening alone, Matt and I can’t decide between going to see a show at Live on Elgin or at Irene’s.

SA: On your Facebook page, I've seen reference to Garage Folk as a genre for your sound. Why 'Garage Folk' and did you consciously set out to make a certain style of music, or did it happen more organically? AF: I don’t think we started off with any idea of where we wanted to go. We just wanted to write and play. With Matt and I, it has always been very organic for both our friendship and creatively speaking. When we were playing as a duo, the sound came out pretty naturally. We did however, always picture it including drums or how he would add all these guitar dynamics when we recorded them. When Tyler joined the group, we decided to abandon our old songs and to start writing new ones. We were all in on that idea and I think it has helped bring us together as a band. With two electric guitars now, our sound is slightly heavier. Hence the gritty pop label we have given ourselves on our web pages. MW: We’ve had a nice gritty element to our music so the genre of Garage Folk seemed apt. We also dabble a little bit in folk, shoegaze, poppy emo songs, and anything that comes to mind.

SA: You guys posted a video of a new song called Lungs on your social media pages. How has the song-writing process been going, and how will you narrow down what songs to include on a release? AF: As of right now we have a full set of original songs. I love having this many songs so we don’t have to cut any from a set list. I obviously have favourites but I hate having to cut songs for setlists. It’s like deciding which child doesn’t get to eat. The songwriting process has been a real collaborative effort in this new formation of the band. As a result we have three or four songs I think we all agree that we want to record first. There is also one song that we are planning to never record but will play at every show. I don’t want to give away any surprises but if you want to hear this song, come on out to Pressed on March 24th. MW: The process has been chugging along at a nice pace. As of right now, we’ve been working on just tightening up our current music for future shows and recording sessions. I’m excited to put those songs out to public scrutiny and also start making new songs again.

SA: If you could send out some love to some local musicians you have been enjoying recently, or who are perhaps even influences, who would they be? AF: I would like to give a shout out to our good friend Travis and his band Fire Antlers. I remember playing a solo show with Travis about three years ago at the old Cafe Luneta. He was just starting out this new project. At this point it just him, his guitar and a drum machine. Since then he has evolved his sound to incorporate a full band. His songs are really groovy and it has been fun seeing him rearrange his old songs as his band takes on new shapes. Just the other week at the Rainbow, his band was comprised of him and his guitar, a new drum machine, a second guitarist and a keyboardist. It's always a good time at a Fire Antlers show. His tunes are solid and you can’t help but want to move while listening. MW: Jamieson MacKay from Shadowhand and How Far To Mexico. He has been immensely involved in Ottawa's music scene playing lots of shows with his bands as well as some solo performances. He's made a great name for himself and his creative output is phenomenal. Also, Fet.Nat and the label E-Tron Records is the reason I stayed in Ottawa/Gatineau music scene in the first place. The entire collective is the most inspiring act in the area.

SA: Lastly, what’s in store for Galapagos in 2017 and onwards? MW: We’re gearing up to record an EP and we’ve done some submissions for future shows. It’ll be an exciting year for us. AF: I hope to be playing more shows and getting tighter as a unit. Finding a bassist would also be a priority at some point I would think as well. Oh and of course having more people hear our songs.
