I prefer to use USPS Priority mail and First Class for Small Packages to save on shipping. Which takes 2-6 business days, in most cases less. Priority shipping gives you extras like tracking numbers and minimum shipping insurance. We do ship to P.O boxes that accept deliveries. Save with combined shipping, the more you buy the more you save. If the postage you paid EXCEEDS the actual cost of shipping by $2.00, I will issue a refund for the difference via the original payment method. For example, if the cost of shipping listed is $12.00 and the actual cost of shipping (including Delivery Confirmation) is only $8.00, I will refund the difference of $4.00 back to you. If, for any reason, the actual cost of shipping is HIGHER than the price charged to the customer, no additional shipping will be charged to the customer. *Always feel free to contact me for exact shipping rates, especially if you are not in the USA as Etsy currently allows estimates to be placed in listing** 515

Gorillaz/TRANZ theory (cultz, drugz & more!)

**This is all ripped from my private twitter after my friend said to put it here lol**

The TRANZ video is fucked and we know it 

a big thank you to @pinkdepressants​ for their help!!

Russel

our boy is staring up or at 2D and smiling the entire video, his expression rarely changes 

Russel has had his bump ins w religion and spirituality, especially spirits and the western death figure (the grim reaper) "...the most prominent [spirit] being Russel's best friend Del..." (Gorillaz wiki)

not only that but he has had run ins with death personally as well "The soul of his friend Del was ripped out of his body by Death..." (Gorillaz wiki)

Now introducing, 2D 

one of the only things 2d and Russel have in common and the one thing that ties these two together in my theory is their eyes the white eyes are a trait that ONLY Russel and 2d have from what we’ve seen

white in biblical terms is a symbol a faith, white eyes could be a sign of one seeing god

both characters have had near death experiences and their association with Murdoc (a satanic worshipper) could strengthen their appeal to a diety (either satanic or holy)

THUS both (either/or) could be prophets for some sort of god (or the devil? thinking emoji)

The goil, Noodle

HER HAIR blond/golden/orange hair relates to symbolism of the sun (umich.edu) in biblical terms, this relates to GOD and his blessing upon the earth 

ON THE OTHER HAND black hair relates to the chthonic (DEVIL!!!)

her movements are slow and possibly drugged(!!!), she also stares up at the sky (like Russel but she isn’t as happy)

NOW THIS BRINGS IN THE CULT ASPECT noodle has always been distant from the Gorillaz, completely dissociating from the group during the hiatus (she went to japan) 

If Murdoc (or one of the two prophets) wanted her to focus COMPLETELY on the band it’d be kind of hard

And so, cultz

drug use and cults/religion have be affiliated since ancient times in modern religion, practices are reminiscent of drug use ("use of wine and incense in ...ritual ...when the psychological effects ...were designed to bring... in... touch with supernatural forces.")

the use of psychedelic effects and trippy imagery is reminiscent of the side effects of hallucinogenic drugs, similar to what some cults used on their followers or used themselves (Charles Manson, Shoko Ashara - LSD, Archibald McCafferty - PCP)

and noodle isnt the only one drugged, the TRANZ video gives reason to believe all are drugged and part of the cult due to the varying actions, imagery and lyrics

A cult and it’s followerz

the main thing is isolating your follower from their friends and family, because Gorillaz aren’t real, per say, they have no confirmed friends or family, except Russel eye emojis but they’re dead so

strange "jargon" or language you don’t quite get is usually a sign of a cult recruiter, the lyrics of TRANZ are fucking weird 

to Oscillate is to move back and forth at a regular speed 

an effigy is a model or sculpture of a person

are the lyrics meant to recruit the listener? the imagery meant to create a feeling of a false high?

Ace

we aren’t focusing on Ace, he’s been here too little and theres not enough information on him to see if he is involved with the cult or just a temporary replacement

MURDOC, HOWEVER

he exhibits the most signs of a cult LEADER

cult leaders operate using deception and lies, the ENTIRE El Mierda situation is a lie, evidenced by the free Murdoc convos

cult boys are often charismatic, evidenced by Murdoc being a ew lady killer and general sexy boy, despite being fuckin gross

from the outside, the cult may seem incredibly well, but in reality there is a lot of abuse, because they are mucisians with music videos you can see this abuse (in DoYaThing)

TRANZ video symbolism and how it ties into the theory

(images are from @pinkdepressants, thanks again mikan!!)

The important bit in this is 2D’s pose, this pose is reminiscent of early christian’s prayer Orans

orans is a latin word, basically translating to one who is praying or pleading

now, in the background we see Noodle and what seems to be a snake

in the story of Adam and Eve, satan takes the form of a snake to lure Eve (the only female, after Lilith) and convince her to eat the forbidden fruit

the imagery here seems to convey a story of Noodle (the only female in the group) being convinced or lured to do something that the cult leader (murdoc) may not like

horns and a masked figure seemingly doing a ritual over a pentagram

since Murdoc is a satanic worshipper, it only makes sense the cult would also worship satan

Similarities the video may have to other cultz

obviously the aforementioned, however!!

Heaven’s gate is famous for their mass suicide in 1997, BUT they are also known for their recruitment videos

these videos include Marshall Applegate (the late leader) staring directly into the camera and speaking directly to the viewer

The TRANZ video features 2D looking directly into the camera (save for the eye glowing scenes during the chorus, in which he looking up to the sky) and speaking directly to the singer

Marshall Applegate’s odd speaking patterns and use of intelligent words is mimicked by 2Ds use of weird words in the lyrics

misc stuff that didnt really fit into the other categoriez

clay 2D

The clips of claymation 2D could represent the after effects of the use of drugs 

even large dosage and a overdose if we take the end scene of clay 2d collapsing into account

Paula Cracker represents Lilith 

Lilith was Adam’s first wife and was created at the same time as he was, out of the same dirt, though she is only really recognized in jewish and middle eastern folklore

jewish scholars (post-biblical times) believe the creation of the first man and woman (genesis 1:27) and the taking of Adam’s rib to create Eve (genesis 2:7, 21-22) 

Lilith became an image of seduction and chaos and in some folklore, is considered the mother succubi

Tying Paula into that, Paula was 2D’s first girlfriend and the guitarist before Noodle. If you aren’t familiar with early Gorillaz lore, she was kicked from the group because she cheats on 2D with Murdoc (a satanic figure)

SO IN CONCLUSION, murdoc is a cult leader, the members (maybe not ace??) are being drugged, gorillaz is a cult, TRANZ is a recruitment video
