Remembering my third performance ever!

Hi! Super NEW NEW NEW POST! ✨💖 I wanted to share this great old (new) founded rare photos I found for remembering that day! These photos were taken during our Antony and the Johnsons' three-night run at Performance Space 122 at our East Village, in NYC, New York, US (November 8—10th, 2001).

This Johnsons concert featured also my beloved: Johanna Constantine, Dr. Julia Yasuda, the music and films of William Basinski, with my contribution and James Elaine, and special guests Joey Arias (on the first, 8th), John Kelly (on the 9th) and my mentor Lou Reed at the last show. 📸 All the photos were taken by Alice O’Malley. ~ Anohni xoxo 💖⤵️ Setlist (?) maybe:

-Cripple and the Starfish

-Hitler In My Heart

Finding creative ideas

Finding creative ideas can come from a blend of exploration, inspiration, and structure. Here are some techniques you can try:

Divergent Thinking: Start with brainstorming without limits. Jot down as many ideas as possible, no matter how unconventional. Quantity often leads to quality by pushing past the obvious.

Mind Mapping: Begin with a core concept and visually branch out with related ideas. This approach can reveal connections you hadn’t considered.

Combine and Remix: Take two unrelated concepts and see if you can combine them into something new. For example, think about how the paper industry could intersect with environmental education, or how digital platforms can simulate real-world investment.

Observe and Take Notes: Everyday life is a constant source of inspiration. Notice trends, user pain points, or processes that could be streamlined. Keep a notebook to capture these thoughts, even if they seem random at first.

Reverse Thinking: Instead of asking “How can I create a great idea?”, try thinking in reverse—consider how not to solve a problem or list “don’ts” for a project. This can lead to breakthrough thinking by clarifying what you do want.

Draw from Other Industries: Looking at innovation in completely different fields often brings fresh perspectives. For instance, if you’re in the paper industry, examine what the tech or entertainment industries are doing to engage customers and consider how you might apply similar strategies.

Set Constraints: Ironically, limitations can fuel creativity. Setting a constraint like “this idea must be doable with only one material” forces you to think deeply about how to work within boundaries.

Collaborate with Others: Bringing other perspectives into the mix can help generate more ideas and refine them. Try brainstorming sessions with people who have different backgrounds or expertise.

Experiment and Prototype: Sometimes ideas only become clear through trial and error. Don’t wait for a perfect concept—build quick prototypes or mockups to test the feasibility and refine them as you go.

Take Breaks: Finally, stepping away and engaging in different activities, like a walk or even enjoying a beer, can refresh your mind and lead to unexpected insights.

Modern/no powers AU where Andy is a famous actress who's constantly stressed and Quynh a writer with mental health issues, her works just starting to gain international attention, they get together over hating the same annoying producers and managers, they go on dates and dancing and Quynh introduces Andy to her family and Andy introduces her to her friends and they are So In Love, they talk about everything and anything, they even talk about marriage a few time, about how Quynh doesn't think it's necessary because there's no reason for it apart from like saving taxes or something, divorce rates say pretty obviously that marriage does not mean forever, but she's not entirely opposed to it, and Andy says she'd just love to call someone her wife one day-

Andy has anger issues (that get worse when she's stressed, which is all the time) that she's working on but she doesn't want to go to therapy because she thinks she's handling it and she doesn't like the thought of trusting a stranger like that, but one day when she's snapping at Quynh for no reason Quynh tells her she needs to get help or the next time it happens she's walking away for her own mental health. Andy doesn't go to therapy because she's a stubborn bitch, and for a while it still works because the knowledge that Quynh would leave her is a pretty good incentive to be better, but, well, it's not doing anything to get to the source of the problem and-

They've been together for several years at that point, they're basically married already and Quynh tells her that she's going to love And forever and that she would marry her if she wants that, and Andy says she just wants to call her her wife, they don't need any official bullshit, and anyways Quynh is right that they will be together forever as long as they both want that, marriage or no, and then Quynh calls her her wife and ravages her-

But then one day, Andy snaps again, and it's about something really stupid, and she knows it's not Quynh's fault, but she says something that's below the belt and she knows it and the moment she looks in Quynh's face she knows she fucked up and that this is the moment she lost Quynh.

Quynh leaves, because she promised herself she wouldn't stay in a relationship that's hurting her- she doesn't think Andy's a bad person, not really, she's not manipulative or doing it to hurt her on purpose, she just has some issues- except that she knows Andy knew she had these issues, and what does it mean that she never got help even when Quynh asked her to? But she also knows that Andy is afraid of opening up to someone, that she tried the best to be better without therapy, and Quynh still loves her So Fucking much, she just can't deal with someone shouting at her like that, so she knows she made the right decision, ending it-

They 'stay friends' in public and say that they just broke up because they took jobs in different parts of the worlds, Quynh wants Andy to have a fresh start, and she doesn't want to be known as some domestic violence victim either, because she knows that's what the press would paint it as. But they don't really meet unless they have to for public functions, where they make amicable small talk and don't talk about anything of importance at all, and Quynh fiercely misses the way they had been able to talk about absolutely everything...

But the distance is still good for her. She focuses on her career, publishes books and gets to write for TV Series, and the being in different places physically isn't a lie or a pretence anymore at all...

Until one day, years later, she runs into her at a Gala ball. Well, into Andy's new girlfriend. She asks about her- she can't not- and the younger woman grumbles something about Andy treating her with kid gloves and how she can't stand that sometimes, and Quynh can't help feeling a little gleeful that that relationship looks like it's about to crumble, not because she wouldn't want Andy to be happy, she really does, but because this ungrateful little thing doesn't /deserve/ her-

And then she really does run into Andy, and it's awkward for a moment but then they get talking, Andy tells her she went to therapy before she even started dating again at all and that she's happy for Quynh's success, Quynh tells her she saw her in a movie a while back and did she get along with some producer better this time around, and when the girlfriend is mentioned Andy groans and is like 'yeah we're kind of dating but I should've broken up with her already, she just really wanted to go to this Gala and she's here as my date so I figured it'd be kinda cruel to break up with her before that' and Quynh can't help laughing and points out that maybe she should do it now, then, because it looks like the girl is making eyes at some singer, so Andy goes and Quynh can't hear what they're saying, but she sees them hug and laugh and it looks a lot more like a breakup where two people stay friends afterwards than the one between her and Andy had felt like. And then Quynh decides to be brave and asks Andy to dance.

It feels just like the old times. They dance wildly and gracefully and they have everyone's eyes on them and don't even care- until Quynh sees that Andy is a little misty-eyed, and she asks what's wrong, and Andy is like 'fuck, I have you in my arms again after so long and I was never really over you that's wrong' and Quynh asks her whether she wants to get out of there.

They end up on Andy's couch, because she's actually living in the city of the ball at the moment, and Quynh looks through her new apartment, it's not at all what you would expect from someone with Andy's salary, but then again Andy keeps handing out money for good causes like candy and this place is very much Her. They end up cuddling on the couch and when Quynh tries to kiss her Andy tells her that she doesn't think she can do it if this is just going to be a one time thing. And Quynh tells her that she never stopped loving her and that she is going to stay with her, forever, as long as Andy really did go to therapy and won't shout at her again. Andy says she actually still is seeing a therapist, as well as taking boxing classes, and she won't promise anything because she doesn't trust herself like that after what happened before, but that she is going to try her best and she hadn't had a problem with her anger issues in years. Then, Quynh kisses her, and they somehow make it into the bedroom, and maybe they're moving too fast but on the other hand it feels like they've just been on a three year long break and are finally together again.

The next morning, half awake, Quynh murmurs thoughtfully how maybe it was good that they never really married at the time. And Andy flinches a little, although she agrees because she wouldn't have wanted Quynh to stay in a situation that was bad for her, and she really did need the therapy. But then Quynh explains that she actually meant that while they were never officially married, they had done their promises to each other and called themselves married, and Quynh never considered that marriage annulled, and she's glad that they weren't formally married because then she probably would have felt the need to get a divorce to make a point about distance, but she 'probably would have kept the ring, or something', and then Andy is crying, and they are hugging and Quynh kisses her soundly before she pulls back and asks Andy whether she wants her to marry her for real this time. Andy can't stop smiling and tells her she's going to get her a ring then, and Quynh laughs and says really her ring example from earlier was a bad idea because she'd just lose a ring, and Andy says alright I'll just have to get you a ring for every outfit, with different stones (no diamonds because those are evil anyway), and then she'll always have one of the rings Andy got for her, and Quynh nods and says yes but they've got to get matching golden wedding rings, even if she won't wear hers all too often.

She's happy, she's elated, and on the next day they hang out with Nicky and Joe who are some of their mutual friends from /before/, who honestly hadn't seen that much of either of them in the past few years because neither wanted to steal the friendgroup from the other, and everyone is happy that they figured their shut out.

Quynh goes back to her hotel in the evening grinning kind of stupidly- she has things to arrange, she and Andy compared their schedules for the next year and they can be in Europe together for several months without major changes to either of their plans, mainly because Andy is working less so she'll be less stressed, and Quynh is just so fucking /happy/.

In the lobby, Nicky calls her and she thinks she must have forgotten something at their place, but it's not that. Andy was in an accident.

Quynh is at the hospital as quickly as possible, Andy is in surgery, she was hit by a car and Quynh thinks that it's her fault, it must have been her fault that Andy wasn't focusing on the street, until the guys arrive and Joe tells her that a drunk guy hit her with his car on the damn sidewalk. Then Andy is out of surgery, and they don't want to let her in or tell her anything until Joe tells her that she's Andy's fucking fiancé and he knows for a fact that the male fiancé of a girl had been allowed to visit her in the same hospital (which isn't even a lie) and do they all want to get sued for homophobia.

They tell Quynh that Andy's body is fixed and there probably won't be any lasting damage, but that her head was hit and she's in a coma, and it all depends on whether or not and when she is going to wake up.

Quynh stays at Andy's bedside for hours, she's the only one they're letting in so Nicky and Joe are camping out on the waiting room like chairs in the hallway and manage to get Quynh to at least eat and drink a little when she inevitably has to walk past them to go to the bathroom. She isn't leaving Andy's side for long though, staying up all night at her bedside talking to her, telling her that she can't do that to her when they have only just gotten back together, that she can't do that to her /period/, that she was- is! going to buy her these rings she promised her and that they have a goddamn wedding to plan, okay? And that 'if you're listening and you can in any way influence this, then get better! You need to! I need you, okay, I barely managed when we weren't together, I only did because I knew it was the right thing to do and that we both needed the break, and I threw myself into my work but honestly I wouldn't be able to do that forever! And I was okay because I knew you were okay, so don't do this to me! You've got to wake up, Andy, please-" and in-between these rants she tells Andy all about her life during the past few years, what she's missed, all the little things she had wanted to tell Andy about when they had happened but couldn't, and she's crying but she doesn't even notice anymore, just holding Andy's hand and telling her to please give her some sign that she's in there, that she's listening- and at some point in the morning, it's still pretty dark outside, she feels Andy weakly squeeze her hand, and for a moment she thinks she imagined it, but then Andy squeezes her hand again, not quite so weak this time, and Quynh keeps talking to her under tears until Andy finally opens her eyes.

Meanwhile, Quynh's mom is surprised that Joe answers Quynh's phone explaining that Quynh is in the hospital with Andy, no no she's alright, she's just with Andy who was in an accident, and yes they were broken up or on a break or something but yes he's fairly certain they're together again. He feels kinda bad after that because he doesn't know whether he was supposed to tell people and of that, he was just too tired to think, and Nicky has to reassure him that no Quynh and Andy would never hate him, and in the end the two women are actually glad because the way the rumor spreads everywhere saves them a lot of work of telling people that they're together while Andy is still in a hospital.

They plan their wedding while Andy's injuries heal, and Quynh tells her to wear that dress she knows she likes but Andy knows Quynh likes her best in a suit so she wants to wear a suit, and in the end they decide on a suit for Andy and a dress for Quynh for the ceremony and to switch for the party afterwards so Quynh can twirl Andy around properly for their first dance....

And then Andy gets better and they do get married and they live happily ever after!!!!!
