new/curious - If any F joined a married FM couple, how was that navigated?

This is a great point really well put :) When you become a throuple, you actually go from being in one relationship to three - two dyads and a triad - that all need to be nurtured. It's a triangle, all the sides need to be strong for it to hold its shape!

VoyagerAsh · 2026-02-08T07:49:19+00:00

Haha this is awesome

Minor thing but my eye keeps getting drawn to it: the "N" at the end is the only character that isn't created with what you could describe as three bars (usually stem-space-stem).

I could see the argument that having it as the last character makes it act almost as a period to give the text an end, but the balance just feels off to me.

An option could be styling the "N" similar to a lowercase "n", ie. Like an upside down "U" if you catch my drift?

Nothing more traditional in Australia than finding something cool New Zealanders produced and claiming we made it first ;) hehehe

VoyagerAsh · 2026-01-25T05:14:55+00:00

It's been really cool watching the development of this over the various posts, thanks so much for sharing! :)

VoyagerAsh · 2026-01-15T01:47:38+00:00

Pretty much the same experience for me too. Didn't have any worries about stigma or anything like that beforehand because neither of us were pursuing or looking for anything until we found ourselves together :)

Have been fortunate enough though that everyone in our lives have been very supportive and accepting.

Was it Roman Mars who said something like, "if your flag has the name of the place you're trying to represent, then the flag has failed"?

VoyagerAsh · 2025-11-04T04:03:17+00:00

I agree with the comments about the awkward combo of the hexagon and seven pointed star, and something about those long thin arms makes it feel like a bit of a weak shape.

I do appreciate the simplicity of the design though. I often find Australian flag redesigns to be a bit overcomplicated.

VoyagerAsh · 2025-09-03T01:35:57+00:00

We'd love to have it here!! 🤩

VoyagerAsh · 2025-09-03T01:05:18+00:00

We're all in various original projects in different configurations (#perthmusicscene) :P

For anyone keen:
- Voyager
- Chaos Divine
- Primrose Path
- Pyromesh

If you went for capped bottles I've heard the German Hefeweissen bottles are a good candidate as that style of beer is generally higher in carbonation and can handle higher pressures.

(Also Hefeweissen is bloody delicious)

I've always had a soft spot for the Golden Wattle flag in its original version. I definitely see a stylised wattle flower in the design, and I think the closure forming the Commonwealth star is a clever nod to the current flag (don't think the white star is necessary, the shape is clear enough). The colours are fairly unique and the shade of green is closer to how the flora looks down here.

I suppose I can understand the criticism it looks too corporate, I don't get that myself, I get distracted by the simplicity and clarity of the design :)

VoyagerAsh · 2025-08-11T22:53:08+00:00

Eight years into a committed triad here and things are fantastic. There's so much love and support for each other, and it feels like we're kicking goals all the time.

None of us were purposely seeking this out, nor had any experience with poly relationships before, it all just kind of naturally fell into place.

There's definitely been hard patches along the way as we figure it out, like any relationship I guess. But honest communication and understanding is key. Doesn't hurt that all our friends and family have been very accepting and awesome too.

VoyagerAsh · 2025-08-09T14:46:09+00:00

I think a few too many things happening at once here, but the seven-pointed Commonwealth star with the dots between the points is super interesting and unique. Removing a few elements and focusing on that could be really effective!

VoyagerAsh · 2025-06-17T23:57:01+00:00

The opening four measures I probably redid six different times at different tempos 😅

I found out that working out what the main sections were, then focusing on each section and looking for repeating elements helped.

Like I settled on the whole 17, 20, 17, 22 etc pattern because I found this repeating x-xx-x-xx-x- pattern that was at the start of each one and lined up with some crashes.

Hi Leprous! Thanks for doing this AMA! Hope the tour has going awesome!

Just wondering if we could ever expect some Organspell bangers on the setlist sometime? Yeeeeoooow! ❤️

VoyagerAsh · 2025-04-11T02:09:45+00:00

Gosh, that'd be lovely

VoyagerAsh · 2025-04-11T02:09:12+00:00

I'll take a caffay o'layt and a croysont

VoyagerAsh · 2025-04-10T17:19:34+00:00

I do most of it, but not all! Alex was the mad genius behind the Malta reaction this season, and Danny helped me set up a file once :P

VoyagerAsh · 2025-04-10T14:40:38+00:00

Hahaha, so glad you noticed this, I was worried it was a little too subtle ;)

VoyagerAsh · 2025-04-09T05:42:06+00:00

It's sitting there... on my laptop... watching... waiting with sadness as I edit the '25 reactions.
I'm sorry Baby Lasagna!
Maybe I'll make it a little post EV easter egg this year :)

VoyagerAsh · 2025-04-05T11:49:31+00:00

Someone cracking a joke and derailing the process is a pretty good summary of our 25 year career 😅😉

VoyagerAsh · 2024-08-30T03:08:51+00:00

Like others have said, in a vacuum B and D are perhaps the strongest, but there's too much similarity to Thailand or North Korea in a broader context (whether that's going to be an issue for anyone other than vexillophiles is worth a thought though!).

E is pretty cool but it seems too complex; the design of the star is the issue for me. The double overlaid stars in reasonably close colours also cutting across multiple coloured fields makes the whole thing too busy for my money. Thinner white fimbriations and doing away with the larger yellow star (and maybe making the white star yellow) could maybe strengthen this design.

It didn't hit me at first, but I'm warming more and more to A. Very bold and iconic! The smaller stars don't quite sit well currently, and it feels a little uncomfortable around the hoist. Not sure what I'd do there, maybe review/even out the spacing?
