[supernatural-bias]

↳ notes: middle art of puck and the band by @/miiilowo. warnings for topics relating to drug abuse

↳ playlist: puck/gorillaz playlist

basic info/pre-gorillaz.

• nicknamed puck. real name is unknown

• always seen wearing sunglasses of different sorts. doesn't matter what kind, just as long as their eyes are covered. no one's ever seen them

• no specifically stated gender, but it's implied that they are trans masculine. only ever referred to with gender nonspecific terms

• clothing style consists of a cross between layered t-shirts with ironic sayings on them (ex: world greatest grandparent) or baggy clothing with bright patterns. most are ratty & full of holes, but they never change their style

• not much is known about their background. a few documents accessible to the public lets you know puck was born in america before moving to the u.k when eighteen

• met 2D, then known as stuart pot, there through a job at uncle norman's organ emporium and a shared love of art. became good friends. didn't really care for paula cracker at the time, but mostly kept to themself anyways

• came to know murdoc almost a year later after the first infamous car incident. they didn't like him at first, in fact, they hated him, and only stuck around him to make sure he took proper care of 2D. actually broke the bassist's nose in a fight after he flung their friend out of a car, successfully blackening his second eye

• only reason they ever got roped into the gorillaz shtick was thanks to 2D, who refused to be a singer for murdoc unless puck was brought along. they couldn't sing, nor play any instruments, but they could write. and had a keen ear for music

• met russel and noodle through the band not long after, becoming much better mates with them than murdoc almost immediately

• has a drug problem. it's especially bad in their earlier years. dabbles in hardcore drugs & smokes way too much weed. they only ever try to hold out if noodle is around, attempting to be a semi-good role model for the kid. even get's on to 2D for being high when he's supposed to watch her

phase one — 'gorillaz' 24 years old, 2001.

• not an official band member for the gorillaz. they don't play on tracks or anything. sort of just hangs around & gets their hands on lyrics or beats. no stage presence

• had their own space before the band. but after the debut album kicked off, they barely bothered to visit it. basically just lives wherever the band does at this point

• travels with them pretty much everywhere too. especially after the release of 'gorilla'. technically on payroll as a writer and as a roadie, but still sleeps in the same living space as the band. 2D has a little trouble getting shut eye in those first few months otherwise

• on the first album, puck is credited with writing lyrics for quite a few songs, but most noticeably 19-2000, clint eastwood, 5/4, as well as directing most of the music videos (skipped out on rock the house after hearing murdoc would be wearing a thong)

• fights with said bass player quite a lot during this time. normally over small things, but it's only ever amplified by him being drunk and puck high. russel usually steps in to physically separate the two in time

• puck doesn't care much for paparazzi. (that's an understatement. once they'd thrown a brick at a reporters camera to get them to back off), but they do participate in a few magazine/radio interviews as long as they've been planned ahead of time. because of this, puck's gone on public record stating their music inspiration comes mainly from the cure, pearl jam, de la soul, and other bands

• appears in a few self dubbed 'gorillaz-bitez' at the time; most noticeably 'game of death' in which they are seen happily betting against murdoc and winning

• not counting the few pictures still around and/or taken pre-gorillaz, this is when puck appears the most feminine or least masculine. as time progresses, subtle changes are added

phase two — 'demon days' 28 years old, 2005.

• in between phase one and two after the band took a break, puck floats around the world doing odd jobs and buying way too many drugs (a downer when it comes to their addiction. doesn't care for stuff that's all high energy. prefers the mellow feeling weed & stuff like shrooms or xanax will bring)

• comes back to the band for a second album, but only after noodle reached out from an abandoned kong studios with the building blocks for a new album. puck automatically accepts her offer, and helps her refine some of the demon days songs before contacting anyone else

• most noticeably dedicates a lot of their time into el manana, o green world, white light, every planet we reach is dead, and dirty harry

• almost got fired by kong studios at one point for showing up to an anti-war protest where the public could see, but the entire band went to bat for them and ended up supporting the motivation behind dirty harry as a result

• this phase is when they form even closer with a young noodle. even manages to build an okay relationship with murdoc through demon days, to the point where puck wouldn't mind one bit if he needed to ask a favor of them—a huge step forward

• puck also got absolutely pumped when de la soul agreed to fly out and record their parts for feel good inc. just knew that noodles melody and their lyrics would make for an unforgettable song, and they were more than right

• is actually in the feel good inc. music video as an extra/cameo instead of just directing it, marking their first official onscreen debut as an unofficial member of gorillaz, even if they aren't in the band

• canonically slept with murdoc around phase two. neither of them were sober when it happened, and puck swears it was only to shut murdoc up. but everyone noticed the change in mood for the two of them the following weeks

• it does happen again, and this time the both of them are sober. puck will kill anyone if they ever attempt to bring that up

• during the mtv cribs episode done on gorillaz that murdoc helps the channel produce, puck can be seen passed out and drooling in a bedroom that clearly doesn't belong to any other band members, more or less confirming that they live full time with the band now

• their info card on screen reads, "nickname: puck. occupation: writer, director, friend of 2D's. fun fact: used to have a speech impediment," (which is how they got the name puck since fuck used to be their favorite word.) only wakes up to chase everyone out after murdoc leans to whisper something in their ear

• wasn't actually present during jimmy manson's audition and subsequential humiliation, so manson didn't really care about killing them as much in comparison to the rest of the band. however, right before the filming of the el manana music video, coincidentally right about the time manson works his way up in the music industry ranks, puck and him got into a huge fight over pulling/not pulling certain songs. they won in the end, and it angered him so much that he ended up plotting to kill them along with everyone else. but they're on the bottom of his list overall

• after el manana, puck copies the rest of the band and essentially drops off the face of the earth. with noodle presumed dead, it marks the beginning of a very dark time in their life

phase three — 'plastic beach' 33 years old, 2010.

• puck draws in on themself a lot in the years between demon days and plastic beach. they end up going back to their hometown in america to lie low for a while, but it only launches them into the beginning of a long mental episode

• only makes one call during those long months in america, and it's just to let 2D know they went back to america in case he came looking for them. they hoped he wouldn't, and he didn't

• eventually the boogeyman finds and kidnapps them around the same time as 2D; both instances under murdoc's orders. the likes of which puck hadn't seem much less talked to since the bands last el manana recording

• he claims that he needs the both of them in order to make a new album

• plastic beach becomes puck's mental prison. unlike 2D, who is kept prisoner by a fear of both whales and now murdoc, they end up developing a crippling mentality that confines them only to the recording studio and their room

• puck's sunglasses reflect how they change as a person through each of the phases, and it really shows here. on the debut album, they had a simple knockoff pair. on demon days they were wore star shaped ones, but on plastic beach they have a singular pair held together with tape; the roughest they ever get. in later phases the quality of their sunglasses slowly become better until eventually puck's wearing a pair of shiny purple shades in song machine, signifying their official point of recovery

• they hate cyborg noodle. phase three will always be a little blurry to them, thanks to drugs & trauma responses, but they distinctly remember hating cyborg noodle and murdoc for creating her. it reminded puck too much of the real noodle; who at the time they assumed to be dead

• the climax of everything horrible happens two days before the anniversary of noodles 'death'. puck nearly died from an overdose. it was the lowest point in their life, and the only time 2D ever saw murdoc worried for someone other than himself during that phase

• they had really gotten into r.e.m then—so much so, that that's what was playing as they choked on their own vomit in a drug induced sleep—murdoc attempting to kick the door to their room down in the background as it happens

• gets all their drugs through snoop dog when he visits the island to record his bits for videos & songs. murdoc and cyborg noodle won't let them leave, so it's not like they can get their fix any other way

• actually wrote melancholy hill all by themself (with some post-editing from, 2D) during plastic beach. it's supposed to represent how alone they felt and how horrible their drug problems got on the island. it was the first song they ever wrote completely about themself or their experiences to get released under a lable

• also had a hand in stylo, empire ants, and super fast jellyfish, but between spending months curled up in their room pushing their body to the limit with drugs & trying to keep 2D from making the same mistakes, melancholy hill took up most of puck's time

• relies heavily on music and nothing else during this time; not even 2D, who they still feel bad about basically mentally abandoning during plastic beach

• the events of rhinestone eyes is a giant cacophony of mixed feelings for puck. seeing russel again and noodle alive while avoiding helicopters that are trying to kill them can really confused a mentally fucked guy. because that's what they were at that point. mentally fucked

• puck lost a lot during plastic beach. it will take them a long long time to ever forgive murdoc for this years spent at the pink island (specifically eight years later at the end of phase five when he finally gets out of jail), but they never forget

phase four — 'humanz' 40 years old, 2017.

• this is officially the period in time where they finally attempt to get clean

• their drug habit was on and off during the seven year break in between plastic beach and humanz, but it was clear to anyone that knew them that they were trying their best to quit

• the long break between albums was the only reason puck came back for humanz. it gave them time to heal and pull themself out of the state they had been in. if they hadn't had that opportunity, puck isn't sure they would have returned to gorillaz at all

• they actually grow a little scruff around this phase as spotted by the tabloids, causing the public to start speculating about their gender again (something they've always had to deal with and hated)

• works on songs like busted and blue during this time. that actually was a scrapped song puck started on plastic beach, and only decided to bring it back and finish it for humanz. noodle helped them to refine it

• despite writing busted and blue, puck put the least amount of work and effort on the humanz album than any other. mostly because they were trying to get sober. still makes a guest appearance in the saturnz barz music video & collaborates with popcaan on his part of the song some

• starts going to rehab regularly! 2D even starts going with them in phase four as a show of support which really helps puck to pull through. 2D himself is still on painkillers, but noticeably less so than before

• the press and public attention makes recovery hard, but they manage to finally pull through by the end of humanz (sober six years as of 2024!)

• they do have an altercation with an obsessive old dealer of theirs once they get off drugs. the dealer liked being able to boast that she sold drugs to famous people, most of the time overcharging puck because she knew they could afford it, so she got really aggressive when her main means of funding dried up—to the point where she managed to track puck down and get ugly. if murdoc hadn't been there to help scare the ex-dealer off, puck was unsure what would have happened

• this was the beginning of the uptick in their relationship

phase five — 'the now now' 41 years old, 2018.

• phase five is a huge change in pucks life for the better. it's the beginning of their happier years

• thinks it's because murdoc got sent to jail at first. but as time goes on and the pit in their chest continues to ache, they realize that's not it

• really puck's just happy because nothing fucking insane is going on with the band for once. no more missing eyes (than usual), no zombies or ghosts, and definitely no trash islands painted pink, stuff still gets strange of course, i.e a missing bassist and meetings with jack black and his saxophone, but that stuff is more to their liking

• has time to actually pick up old & new hobbies other than music and song writing. particularly gets really into reading and film analasis

• around this time is when the subject of murdoc becomes tricks for them, but for a different reason than usual

• puck thinks the '#freemurdoc' movement is pretty silly. doesn't really want him to stay there, but puck knows murdoc has been to jail enough to watch out for himself well enough

• none of that stops them from visiting the bass player in jail though. they find themself doing it once or twice instead of just calling, which was more than any of the other band members could say

• a long few years ago, puck used to (and sometimes still does) watch the powerpuff girls with noodle when she was younger, so the both of them were understandably psyched when ace accepted the offer to take murdoc's place in the next album. noodles a bit more excited, though, seeing as puck is still trying to come to terms with the fact that they liked and missed murdoc, so they were preoccupied by that

• ace makes a comment a few months in that he just naturally assumed that puck & his buddy were together, which naturally makes their face light up a bright red. gets to avoid eye contact thanks to their sunglasses

• that may have influenced how they wrote song lyrics with the now now; just like with 2D

• by the end of the now now, puck has gone from being behind the writing of a few background songs & main hits on albums to nearly every single song. they, along with some contributions and suggestions from the rest of the band, are the main reason lyrics are even added to the melodies at this point

• wrote tranz, which is their way of not-so-subtly writing about how it feels to be them in a bodily sense, which underlying tones of the rest of the bands influence on them as a person throughout the years

• can be seen stumbling around in the humility music video while attempting to roller skate with 2D, who had been attempting to teach them how to do so properly all week. eventually it just shows them giving up and laying down in the grass to watch the clouds go by

• after the album is released to the public, puck appears at their second ever award show, since all the way back in demon days in fact, when the album gets nominated for a category or two. even dresses up. at least by their definition, wearing a tie haphazardly over their normal clothes. it isn't even tied right—something russel laughs at

• that means they are there when the band is announced to have won the award. is very awkward on stage as noodle accepts the award, but thinks that murdoc's pre-recorded thank you message that is shown is really funny. fun fact, that exact moment at the award show where murdoc showed up on screen was when puck realized that they really did miss and like him—romantically

• even after he finally gets out of jail for real, puck spends the next five years refusing to let murdoc know about their feelings. much to everyone else's chagrin

phase six — 'song machine' 43 years old, 2020.

• phase six was probably the first time in decades that puck ever truly felt happy

• working on the song machine was a way for them to finally leave plastic beach and all the memories associated with it behind. the lost chord was their was of saying good-bye, and 2D's way of finally forgiving murdoc for the same reasons

• song machine really was just puck having fun and not worrying about anything for the first time in a while. they're sober, have a good (bordering on romantic) relationship with murdoc, and are even making more public appearances with the band for the first time in a while. still hates the paparazzi, though they do apologize for the brick incident on record around this time

• is actually able to stop using nicotine gum & patches to curb their need for cigarettes here. (they quit smoking cigs along with everything else when they got clean in humanz. complete cold turkey)

• still keeps in contact with ace at this point even though he's gone and murdoc is back in the band

• is absolutely just chilling the entire time. is in all the music videos shown having the time of their life after his most recent years, only really stepping out of their little bubble of happiness to help with some minor incidents (the pink ghost dilemma, sinkhole problems, etc.)

• probably helps murdoc build his little anti-negative energy hide out, and definitely feels a little bad about leaving the man behind during the desole music video

• when they go into space with everyone else in the winnebago, their spacesuit is purple and has crude graffiti like drawings all over it—curtesy of the whole band

• not a lot happens lore wise to puck during this phase, and that's perfectly all right with them. they're finally completely sober and getting to hang out with the people they care about the most. what else could they want?

phase seven — 'cracker island' 46 years old, 2023.

• isn't sure how to feel about packing up and moving to l.a with the band at first since a lot of people from their clouded past are more likely to pop up in america, but they do anyway

• phase seven marks the beginning of murdoc and puck's actual relationship. it took puck a long time to come around to the fact that they actually liked him, flaws and all, but they had begun to realize that they aren't as young as they used to be, and that it's better to be truthful to their feelings and themself instead of hiding away. they already made that mistake once

• the media really starts to become a part of their life more than ever here. it has to do with speculation about murdoc and puck dating sure, but also with the introduction of moonflower and her cult. (puck finds her quite charming and enchanting, which makes murdoc incredibly grumpy. they change their tune about her once 2D is brainwashed, though)

• credited with writing new gold, oil, tarantula, baby queen, and pretty much every other song there is on the album. helps 2D with cracker island some too, but that was mainly him

• baby queen is actually a little about watching noodle grow up into who she is today. puck's always had a good bond with noodle ever since demon days, so baby queen is a very emotional song to them

• thinks the whole thing about 'murdoc's essence' is absolutely hilarious. it gives them a good laugh anytime they think about it. also, they won't admit it, but they find murdoc a little attractive in his cult robes

• gets really pissed when they finally figure out what's been going on with moonflower's cult and 2D. that's puck's best friend and literally the only person that's stuck with them through everything, so they are gonna fight to get him back. even if it's against an immortal cult

• in the silent running music video, which including cracker island is less of a music video and more of a retelling of that night, puck's sunglasses come off for the first time. ever.

• only murdoc sees it as he happens to be standing right across from them when it happens. the sight of it nearly breaks his concentration, and puck doesn't even realize they've fallen off until 2D is back to safety. they were that upset

• it's a big deal to murdoc about the glasses considering that puck has never let anyone see his eyes uncovered. not 2D, not noodle, not russel, and not even him during literal sex. they always kept their shades on or their eyes closed

• puck gets arrested with everyone, but murdoc of course, and ends up in the cracker island music video trying to start a fight with the police while noodle attempts to de-escalate the situation and calm them down

• when murdoc finally shows up at the hospital, he shares a soft kiss with a relieved puck off screen, publicly announcing their relationship and grabbing everyone's attention momentarily. the kiss calms puck down and marks the end of another era, leaving the band to go back to the l.a house and finally bring 2D with them once again

music videos puck has been in, and what they were doing when they appeared in each of them:

19-2000

• shows up at the end of the mv with a boom mic crew, both of their appearances signaling the end of the video production

• puts out part of the singed geep with a fire extinguisher

• waits a few moments after checking to make sure the fire is out before seemingly spraying murdoc in the face for no reason without an expression

rock the house

• after the music video ends, the camera being used to record it swivels around, revealing puck at the tail end of the recording

• it follows them as they hop out of a dingy directors chair, walking away while pinching the bridge of their nose with one hand

feel good inc.

• this is puck's first time being shown in an mv as an official actor, instead of simply during footage at the end of one

• throughout it, they are trying to set up the big black and white screens that display de la sol when they do their rap by messing around with a bunch of wires

• they step over all the girls on the floor carefully, often ducking low to the ground to untangle the mess as lights reflect of their sunglasses

• there are a few close up shots of puck's hands connecting the chords before they eventually get it right

dirty harry

• puck is in the military grade truck with everyone else going over the sand dunes, all collectively wearing those green uniforms

• pops out of the upper hatch of the truck with noodle and murdoc at one point, but chooses to stick as far back as they can. that theme continues for most of the music video. when directing, they insisted the focus be on the kids stranded in the desert

• upon picking up 2D and the kids, they let one of them climb on their shoulders, and puck walks them over to the rescue truck with a small smile

dare

• in a brief cut away from noodle dancing in her room with the head, the audience is shown puck as they stand in the studios kitchen. they are shot from behind, wearing nothing but sunglasses, pants, and an apron as they flip something on the stove and tap their foot to the beat of the song playing from noodles room

• there is a small voice cameo in the mv at the end when murdoc is startled awake from his dream by the sound of a smoke alarm going off, and puck banging on the door of his winnebago to tell him dinner is ready

stylo

• they are in the backseat of the car, trying desperately to sit as far away as possible from cyborg noodle. their dislike for her is very evident in the way they kick her away sometimes

• is seen wearing a black cap similar to the one noodle wears on the cover of demon day's album, and a shirt with a cartoony ice cream shop logo on the front

• cyborg noodle falls on them one point after being shot, and puck does their best to haul her off of themself, but struggles

on melancholy hill

• puck is next to 2D in the submarine smoking a joint and looking out a small window at the ocean

• they've changed outfits since we've last seen them. their sunglasses are now plain and help together by tape, and while still wearing the black hat, they now have on a purple shirt

• when the lines "because you are my medicine when you're close to me," plays, we see murdoc turn at his place by the steering wheel to look at puck of 2D. the both of them just stare at him silently

• the mv ends with a lingering shot of the joint in puck's hand as they all stand on top of the submarine together, the smoke from his joint traveling up and mixing with the fog already in the air

rhinestone eyes

• during the first part of the storyboarded video, we see puck in their room on plastic beach, poking their head out of their doorway and wandering out to the sound of gunshots outside

• one of the legs to their sunglasses are missing, and it's clear they haven't had a haircut or any kind of personal grooming for a while

• once they're outside on the beach, they hide behind a rather large rock when the planes eventually turn their fire on puck. they only come out from behind it once russel and noodle arrive onshore together

strobelite

• puck stays in the club booth the whole time

• they look much better this time, lounging in some jeans and layered tee shirts, but its clear from the way they are acting that they're not completely sober

• gently pushed 2D to go dance with noodle at first

• doesn't do much else other than glare at murdoc when he walks by them on his way to the bar, sneering

saturnz barz

• when everyone splits up to explore the house, puck heads up the attic to look around

• finds a few boxes of old hats that they tuck under their arm, musing that 2D might like them before eventually opening another box, and falling into it. they get spit out into space alongside murdoc and 2D, floating around as the hats circle them

• for most of the video they simply float around, occasionally mouthing the words to the song

• as they all leave the haunted house later, puck declares that that was the third weirdest house they've ever been in

humility

• they can be seen attempting to roller skate through the beach park on purple skates, but it is very obvious that they aren't as good as 2D

• in the end once 2D skates away from their side and off somewhere else, they settle with laying down on the grass and looking up at the sky

• the basketball ace pops with his knife ends up landing next to their head at the end, scaring off a butterfly they had been letting perch on their finger

momentary bliss

• shown taking a nap with a cartoon bubble coming out of their nose while they snore away on the studio couch

• later is awoken, and we watch from afar as they look around for a pen to write with, confused and not noticing one is in their hair

• lots of in place dancing with noodle, and puck pats murdocs back while he vomits outside

desolé

• goes to france with everyone else, leaving murdoc behind

• takes turns steering the boat with damon while wearing sunglasses that resemble goggles more than anything

aries

• they are talking and texting noodle as the two of them worry over where 2D has gone. they are both wearing puffy jackets with a pair of matching patches

• drives alongside everyone else in a little purple go-cart with stickers on it

friday the thirteenth

• looks beat up in the mv alongside the rest of the band. puck is sporting what looks like a slap mark, and the frames of their glasses are bent / crooked

pac-man

• inside murdoc's portal, there's what looks to be a polaroid of puck on the wall somewhere next to him

• puck chews on bubble gum throughout the song, the treat popping on time to the beat of the song until at the end when it pops all over their face as noodle unplugs 2D's pac-man machine

strange timez

• they are wearing a purple space suit like the others, only its covered in doodles and graffiti

• they spend the trip to space drawing in the moons dust, creating the gorillaz logo on its surface when the camera zooms out at the end

the valley of the pagans

• puck simply sits in the backseat of the car next to 2D the whole time, occasionally playing what looks like a game on his phone until the car falls through the portal

the lost chord

• puck wakes up on plastic beach with everyone else. they are suddenly wearing their old, broken glasses and black hat

• they stare at everything with a deep sadness and regret while 2D sings

• when they eventually go through the portal right after 2D and just before murdoc, the black hat they used to wear so much falls off in the wind, signaling the end to the emotional turmoil plastic beach has caused them

silent running

• in this mv, puck is seen fiercely fighting moonflowers cult to get their best friend back

• in the midst of the giant fist fight, puck gets ahold of one of the ropes connected to 2D, and begins to haul him back up with murdoc

• at some point, a cultist bumps into them, causing their glasses to slip off their face

• we don't see puck in that moment, only the back of their head and murdocs stunned reaction until 2D is back to saftey, and they can finally afford to put their sunglasses back on

• gets arrested with everyone else but murdoc, leading to their predicament in the follow up music video

cracker island

• throughout most of the song, they are shown arguing with the police about what we can only assume are the legal matters while occasionally gesturing back at 2D the best they can while in handcuffs

According to local legend, Cleopatra herself swam here, and the sand was brought from Egypt specifically for her. The beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beach sports, and it's conveniently located near Alanya's vibrant town center, where you can explore historical sites, shops, and restaurants.

The peninsula's diverse beach options, combined with Bodrum's lively nightlife and cultural attractions, make it a great destination for beach lovers.

Çıralı Beach, Kemer

Çıralı Beach is a hidden paradise near the town of Kemer, offering a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas. The beach is part of the Olympos National Park and is surrounded by lush greenery and ancient ruins. Çıralı is also a nesting site for loggerhead turtles, and visitors can often spot these magnificent creatures. The nearby Chimera, a natural eternal flame, adds a touch of magic to this serene destination.

True to its name, the beach features soft, golden sand and clear, shallow waters, making it ideal for families with children.

[bugmatic]

bug do you know how to prevent bites (specifically from those goSH DANG MOSQUITOS)

BUG ONLY ZUPPORTZ BITEZ CAUZED BY ZELF DEFENCE!!! BITE THEM BACK!!!!!!! THEN THEY WONT MEZZ WITH YOY...

[melancholysway]

Rating each 2012 TMNT character on who probably smells the best

1 being the worst & 14 being the best xoxo

1. Fish Face- definitely smells like a girls locker room be fr

2. Baxter Stockman but when he was a fly- he made me physically ill and would probably make my sense of smell do the same :(

3. Razar, I think he probably smelled decent before his second mutation, but he looks like he smells like roadkill from his musty boney self

4. Shredder- ALL versions of Shredder, super, mega, deluxe, gold, platinum idc the man smells like burnt flesh, burnt rubber, and iron guys

5. Mikey, they literally had the smell-o-vision for his middle toe & I will never get over that, poor rad brad for having to smell that :(

6. Chompy, he’s SOOO cute guys I had to include him, but his farts are basically explosive and I know it smells like a piping hot can of Bounce That Ass in Raph’s room because of him :/

7. Tiger Claw, because if you didn’t notice, his tail isn’t actually healed and it isn’t a nub, it’s just exposed flesh so that shit REEKS.

8. Casey, Forgets to put deodorant sometimes, but majority of the time he’s wearing it 😁‼️ the inside of his mask probably smells a little though, also I think that he thinks chewing mint gum is the same as brushing his teeth so…yeah

9. Raph, so, I headcanon he takes pride in the way he Carrie’s himself BUT! He uses up so much energy and definitely sweats the most and sweats often, so that’s why he’s #9

10. Donnie, Donnie lets himself go often when he’s too focused on his work, and probably won’t shower until he’s finished what he has to do…looking back now I should swap Donnie to #9 & Raph to 10 but I think Donnie secretly has cologne that he uses when April is around xoxo

11. Splinter, getting into the better smelling characters, Splinter appears to be very fluffy, and his lil ears are cute for a rat, if I’m not mistaken, rats and mice clean themselves like cats? So adding onto self cleaning he also showers- plus he looks like he smells like Japanese incense sticks- but the cloud incense (iykyk)

12. Leo!- Leo is the best smelling out of his brothers I feel like, he carries himself well and doesn’t look like the type to profusely sweat or excessively sweat like Raph when working out or fighting. That, and he likes a steamy hot shower to relax his muscles

13. April, 110% uses warm vanilla coconut perfume and body wash, and uses a vanilla scented shampoo. I was thinking something floral but she gives me warm and comforting scent vibes :)

14. Karai, this is totally not biased at all yall😍 most definitely uses the Japanese Cherry Blossom perfume and body mist! She just looks like she smells really nice

Honorable mentions:

Vicioso? Is that how you spell it- idk but he smells absolutely RANCID. he’s like a big fucking grease ball I swear, and he definitely only wears that ONE suit

Spider Bitez, but before he was mutated, also looks greasy asf but 100% thinks putting underwear inside out means they’re clean & he can wear them for another 2 days

Canon 2Doc moments list

Here is the list I compiled of all the 2Doc moments in Gorillaz Canon grouped by phase with sources and links, there are a lot but being there is a 20 year history with many magazine interviews, webchats etc if I missed anything please let me know!

Phase 0

Murdoc: Yeah. That’s when your second eye went. You flew through the windscreen at 70 miles an hour, landing on your head once more. You skidded on your face for maybe half a mile, but when you came round, my God! ... Murdoc: He stood up really slowly his back still towards me, and really slowly turned around, like one of the zombies in those films he watches, and there were… no eyes! Just two black holes, a vacant stare

2D: That must have been pretty scary.

Murdoc: No, mate. I saw it! It looked great! A blue-haired, black-eyed God! The Girls would go wild, I knew I had it. You were still a bit mental, but I had my frontman! ...I could see that the girls would go crazy for his pretty boy looks, so I made him the Gorillaz singer.

How could you not? There he stood before Murdoc ‘Love’s young deity’. Rise of the Ogre pg 20, 22

Phase 1

Re-hash Murdoc and 2D put the lyrics together by Murdoc writing phrases on magnets and 2D throwing them on the fridge RIse of the Ogre pg 44

“Murdoc took full advantage of the London rehearsals, taking time out with 2D in the evening to hijack various guestlists round the capital” Rise of the Ogre pg 70-71

Russel: We all love each other besides Murdoc who hates everyone and himself equally Murdoc: …Yeah, yeah exactly, that would be true. Ah, what’s your point? 2D: Aw, I love you Murdoc!

Phase 2

2D hit his head when falling from a tree at the age of eleven, causing a complete and total loss  of his bodily hair.. When it came back, the natural colour  was a deep azure blue Murdoc: Collars and cuffs? 2D looks down awkwardly, scratching his head. Rise of the Ogre pg. 18

2D: Like a swan scone! Murdoc: Like a swan shaped scone! 2006 Times Magazine interview https://gorillaz.fandom.com/wiki/Gorillaz:_Times_Magazine_Interview_(Part_2)

Phase 3

I don't think I'll be giving the game away too much, If I say; he's a twerp with blue hair, who somehow got himself into my band because he looks good, he sings great and he's got no eyeballs. Yes folks, next week I'll be dragging, that old bugger 2-D into my house of horrors, lighthouse booth to sit in alongside me and- shut his face, while I play more Gorillaz tracks. February 16 2010 https://gorillaz.fandom.com/wiki/Pirate_Radio:_3 https://youtu.be/9_6MwctTrYE

`Empire Ants’ (feat. Little Dragon) A moment’s peace amongst the rush. I sampled a lot of this from the theme music to Tomorrow’s World, and the vocalist is Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon, an electronic band from Sweden. It was actually 2D who got me into Little Dragon. He played me this lovely song of theirs called ‘Twice’, which he first heard on the TV show Grey’s Anatomy NME Blog February 22 2010 https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/gorillaz-plastic-beach-murdocs-track-by-track-guide-781091

@MurdocGorillaz Jul 23, 2010 We’re having a ‘BBQ summer’ here at Plastic Beach. An oil barrel stuffed with landfill is an ideal broiler. Stick another shrimp on,Stu-Pot!

Q: Is it lonely on Plastic Beach with no women around? Just you and 2D Murdoc: Yeah. It can be. But I've got measures in place to alleviate uh said loneliness. And I'm not going to go into any kind of great detail about that but you know

Q: Murdoc, what's your favorite color? Murdoc: BLUUUUUUUUUUEEEE! I like blue! I like Blue and I like green. Um mix them together and you get turquoise you know. Blue's my favorite color. September 16 2010 Murdoc live Facebook Webchat https://youtu.be/0x-ZErVzVt8

Murdoc: I’ll tell you what, when he stood up, WOW! What an image; tall, pretty, blue spiky hair... 2-D: No eyeballs. ... Murdoc: Come on 2D, let's grab a quick sharpener, last one at the bar is a wanker. (Murdoc leaves with a bang of a door) 2D: Uhhh... Thank you, and goodnight. iTunes Interview October 27 2010 https://youtu.be/Wnq3nm6ZtNc https://gorillaz.fandom.com/wiki/ITunes_Interview:_Plastic_Beach

Murdoc: Pretty soon I’m going to be joined by a creature that we all know and love, 2D, singer of my band, Gorillaz. He’s uh- he’s just downstairs getting ready at the moment (single laugh), taking off the old gimp mask and combing his hair all nice for you. ... So while we’re waiting for him to put on his clothes and tie his special needs shoelaces, I’ll play you this. ... And with these, you made a scrapbook album on America. If you had to sum up Detroit in one sound, what you think that sound would be? 2D: I think maybe, it would sound something like this, (coughs in preparation) (the first ‘noise’ from “Detroit” plays, the track then continues with Murdoc and 2D ‘creating it’ as it goes along) Murdoc: Okay, that’s good, I see. (2D speaking over him: right, well) And then what’s next? 2D: And then I do this. Murdoc: Okay, yeah, I’m with you. 2D: Yeah and then I do a bit of this. Murdoc: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s good- that’s good (yeah, aha) 2D: Yeah, ya see? Ah? You get- yeah, right yeah. I do, that a cu’pla times. Murdoc: That’s nice, really nice. 2D: And then, right, I get into a bit of this… Yeah, eh?... Mm? See that, eh? Ya feelin’ that? Ya feel me? Murdoc: Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s great! 2D: Yeah, yep, thought you’d like it. And then I do a bit like this. Murdoc: WOW! That’s excellent! Nice one, can I join in? 2D: Yeah! Yeah, why not. Murdoc: Well can I do some vocals? 2D: Yeah, use this. This thing- Yeah, that thing there, yeah just-just, just speak into it. Murdoc: (clears throat) Oh, uh, yeah. Uh, right, right, I think I’ve got it. Here goes. 2D: Nice vocal… Good stuff, good stuff… Okay, I’m gonna bring this in now, yeah. Step tune, and fade in, now. (the track draws to a close) Murdoc: Phew, a bit puffed out now, (deep breath) thanks. That was great 2D. That really explains a lot. 2D: I’m just glad to help, really… Pirate Radio 5 April 10 2011 https://gorillaz.fandom.com/wiki/Pirate_Radio:_5,_The_Fall https://youtu.be/qujp3KfQYhI

Highsnobiety: What's one of the strangest things to ever happen to you while on tour?

2-D: One time Murdoc got very drunk. He pointed at me then one of the security guards escorted me to his trailer. When I got inside, Murdoc gave me strawberries and told me about all the tragedies in his life, stopping only to cry or smoke a joint. Afterwards, he said I was a good listener, and not like all the other girls. We hugged, exchanged numbers, and I left. He never called. https://gorillaz.fandom.com/wiki/2-D_Speaks_to_Highsnobiety_-_November_2016

Q: The film you can quote the most of Noodle: “I’m sorry, Wilson. I’m sorry! WILSON! WILSON!” Cast Away came out the year I joined Gorillaz. 2D would watch it five times a day. It really spoke to him; he even drew his own Wilson onto a watermelon. Murdoc butchered it with his battle-axe. Then juiced it. Maybe he was jealous. Or thirsty.

(2D in his underwear, with Murdoc shirtless wearing high heels laying in his piano in front of a picture of Liberace)

2D: We try to spend as little time together at the studio as possible. Murdoc: I don’t know what it is, 2D has some issues with me, I don't myself. Mr.Jam: Let’s leave it here cause all you both gonna do is argue… Murdoc: No!! No, Mr.Jam!! We don’t!! We don’t!! There’s a love there, you know. (This whole interview has a lot of good moments) BBC Radio 1 interview April 1St 2017 with Mista Jam https://youtu.be/WWcb_r6cdAE

Things seemed pretty amicable between you and the rest of the band in your latest video, all things considered. How are relations with everyone? 2D: A little better. Murdoc used to practise his torture techniques on me, but since he got into S&M, he’s been beating and torturing himself more than me. So I’m feeling positive.

Favorite one hit wonder?

2D;: “’Somebody’s Watching Me’, by Rockwell. The chorus goes “I always feel like someone’s watching me”. I can really relate to that because of all the CCTV and things in modern society. And the surveillance camera Murdoc installed above my bed.” Shortlist May 5 2017 https://www.shortlist.com/news/gorillaz-ultimate-playlist-damon-albarn

What’s your perfect Sunday? MN: Sunday being the day of rest, [Gorillaz member] 2D waits on me hand and foot. He does that every day, to be fair, but on Sunday he wears a little apron, which makes it extra special. So, 1 p.m., I’m probably still in a booze coma. By 3 p.m., if I’m still out, 2D fires up the defibrillator and gives me a few hundred volts. Just to blow off the cobwebs. I normally punch him in the face due to the pain of the electricity, then he goes off to make me a Full English, which is a cocktail of our greatest liquids: gin, brown ale, Earl Grey tea, and Ronseal. Then I skin up a brunch trumpet of high-grade hash mixed with Nescafé Gold Blend and take 2D out for a walk in one of London’s famous parks. I’ll throw a stick for him or let him chase the ducks for a bit. Once he’s tired out, I head back home for Midsomer Murders, work on my cross-stitch, and reply to my latest hate mail. https://www.avclub.com/gorillaz-s-murdoc-says-he-s-almost-entirely-free-of-b-1798261196

@murdocgorillaz​ Oct 27, 2018 I’ve had so much caffeine I’m starting to hallucinate. Just had a twenty minute tête-à-tête with 2D, turns out to be a golf umbrella. Similar level of conversation, mind you. I’M STILL ONLINE

Murdoc’s daily routine

Machine Bites #4 No real need to include this but I love when Murdoc yells at the person laughing in the background to shut up because he and 2D are talking (about snacks, Murdoc prefers krisprolls over ryvita) https://youtu.be/LUNJucKX1O4

@MurdocGorillaz Mar 5, 2020 for asking: is 2D wearing my captain’s hat from Plastic Beach? Not the same one cos that got eaten (long story). But I bought a new one and gave it to the lad, a little good luck charm for his voyage. You look smashing, matey! #DebunkDesole

@MurdocGorillaz Really great, thanks for asking dumbass juggalo. We're better than ever. Soon as the weather clears we're going for a lovely ride together on our new tandem bike. 11:16 AM · Mar 5, 2020

@MurdocGorillaz Mar 5, 2020 Thanks for noticing, biscotti. That's due to the great new foundation 2D bought for me. Because I'm worth it.

Machine Bites #6 2D: "Feeling better now Murdoc? I haven't heard you crying for a few hours." Murdoc: "My tear ducts dried up years ago. – I watched 'The Notebook' last night; [2D: "Oh yeah"] dry as the Gobi Desert."

Murdoc: "Oh! Man! Yeahyeayea yeah! This is eyeball sweat, ehhh? I told you about that in 2007." https://youtu.be/mVZN1nBrWAg

Machine Bites #7 2D: His eyeballs are sweating again, you uh- do you need some um- Murdoc: They're not! 2D: Do you need some antiperspirant for your eyeballs? Murdoc: Oh wait a minute, yeah they probably are a little bit, mhmm https://youtu.be/TqSBvmcBdns

Machine Bitez #15 Oct 1 2D: Have you ever been positive for a whole hour? Should we try it? Murdoc: Don't know if I could do it! 2D: Do you like my shoes? Murdoc: No. https://youtu.be/PmEKOMIMY-0

“Not sure I like your tone here, mate,” he queries us. “The study of Orgonomy demands huge dedication and sacrifice. I’ve spent months in a box wearing nowt but my underwear. Not to mention the horrible experiments 2-D bravely volunteered for. So a bit more respect, yeah?"

Seeing as we’re still in the throes of a pandemic, we should probably start with the obvious: How’s your health?

2D: Yeah I’m OK cheers for asking. Russ and Noodle are good too, but it’s hard to tell with Murdoc as he always looks green and not well. It’s the same with kiwis, how do you know if they’ve gone mouldy if they are green in the first place? The only way to know is by eating them Indie Mag interview May 20 2021 https://indie-mag.com/2021/05/20-years-of-gorillaz-interview-fred-perry/
