🎫 here's a gush pass! feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other selfshippers!

oh man, thank you jsjsj ive gotten a few of these but ive been too anxious to actually go off ab my f/o but, lets fucking gooooo!

can i talk ab the actual animation of the source material is that allowed?

they gave us this but we ended up with

WHICH LISTEN- I enjoy n love regardless. I just find the contrasts in phases fascinating and funny. I loved his appearance in phases 1 and 2; what a fucking iconic character design. The animation is so endearing and amazing- the thicker lines, the fluidity, the range. Like the first gif that shows the vibrations of the vehicle in his shoulders/shirt? The simplistic art style was nice and even if hes Hard On The Eyes, I'm like 🥴 ok ugly ❤.

Not like the newer mvs are any less quality content - its nice to see the use of thick and thinner lines and there's definitely a different feel to it - more child friendly or easy going? Idk how to explain it. Murdoc as a character is still very, Not Child Friendly, and Im always like :cursed emoji: when someone says that their 14 year old watches their videos like help, his dick is out in at least 3 dif vids (censored ofc but man).

They definitely lost me after the 4th phase though and many people argue that the band/music lost its meaning, which i can honestly agree with (esp when they didnt name officially name 4, 5 and 6. Im p sure ppl refer to 4 as We Are Still Humanz).

I was never an avid/active fan of keeping up with the characters and didnt really think they had any story anyways, i was like "feel good inc is sexy. melancholy hill's a banger" so honestly, finding out that these apes actually have lore was fun.

Murdoc being the given this tragic backstory made my eyes Zoom, and ofc I was like "oh youre funny looking and sad. I want you ♡." In a weird way, I take a lot of comfort that 'we both have shit parents' and 'no one really thought we'd amount to anything'. to be fair, i haven't accomplished anything yet, and even if hes a bunch of pixels who i know doesnt really exist, its kind of motivating bc he never gave up? A literal quote from him being "If there’s a dream in your heart, never let anyone tell you you’ve got no talent. Get out there, embarrass yourself, and prove to the world you’ve got no talent." With how many failures hes faced he never stopped trying to prove himself worthy of attention and fame and love, which is ambitious and kind of intimidating with how much confidnece he has.

Hes a complete bastard of a man and not even close to being a good person. He's definitely complicated but can be boiled down to "just an abusive asshole", which, hey, fair. I hate the way he treats 2D, its so toxic and terrible. Honestly, its inexcusable and he needs to apologize, grow and learn a LOT and god knows he needs therapy.

I think the most tragic thing ab his character is that he basically ended up like his father and to some extent, he acknowledges it. His bad habits and behaviors stem from abuse and neglect which doesnt excuse his actions but, "man hands on misery to man." I feel like theres a haunting part to his whole life - we don't know much about his mother and brother but from assuming things, I know they weren't innocent, clean, or soft spoken, let alone, kind. I think he has a "It runs in the family" mentality and gives into it bc there's no use in running from something so deeply engraved within him.

But as a man of contradiction, hes shown to care, despite "hating everything, including himself". To be short, his father was a failure and a man thats never worked for his own money, so he contradicts that and escapes that part of 'failure running in the family' by forming Gorillaz. I do think theres something way more ab his character in that regard. I think theres a lot that he needs to work on but he's escaped a part of that mindset, and his 'Plastic Beach'. I wonder what theyre gonna do with valley of the pagans thing.

I guess as a band, theyre not gonna show a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff like that. We wont know if he ever gets help, or apologizes, or even feels sorry - its up to us to decide which is a safe game to play on Their Behalf.

People are upset that hes actually cleaned up a bit and is shown to be nicer bc they miss having that disgusting, cruel man which again, I understand. He has always been the antagonist to the entire band. But as someone that likes to see people happier n mellow (or, boring) rather than doing shit and compensating for their depression, its nice to see that type of development (or downgrade, depending on how you see it).

This could be Their (read: jamie and damon) way of being lazy by making him 'mellow out w/ age' or whatever it is. It definitely seems to woobify his character and intentions but well, His Main Goal, Was To Blow Up. And Act Like He Dont Know Nobodaaayyy argargarg and guess what? He's already made it- he's successful, he's rich, he's famous, he's adored. Now what? Maybe this is just his way of taking it easy from here on out - who knows.

Gorillaz definitely took a turn after all the brand deals so it lost its meaning (since one of the phases had a 'fuck capitalism' message) and with that, Murdoc is no longer allowed to be the stank bitch hes was always meant to be, no more obvious sex and drugs, for the new gen 🥴 ironically a lot of songs 'today' are always complained ab being ab sex, drugs, and whatever, but they def needed to step on the breaks when Money/Companies got involved. So here we have The Wigglez 😌💕

ANYWAYS, I LOVE HIM LOTS, HAVING MANY THOUGHTS

EVERGLOW "Dun Dun" Thoughts

The song is honestly a bop. It was stuck in my head first listen, heck Yiren's part (and you know what I'm talking abt cause she only HAD one part- we'll get there) was stuck in my head after hearing the previews.

Yiren's line would fit so well with KARD's Dumb Litty:

"We go dumb dumb dumb dumb (Dun ×?)...."

I sometimes sing "we go dun dun Dun Dun," and it's hard to get outta my head so...

Besides the absolute bop (bops ig since Gfriend served as well) that was this song, it didn't seem to be getting that much appreciation or love as it should be.

And it's mainly because of Mia. Before I begin, please NO ONE send hate to Mia. I've seen ppl say Mia had too many lines and that could make their company decrease Mia's lines from the whole song + a dance break to 2 lines and Im sure none of us want that.

Obviously the line distribution in this song was fucked up. Mia sang most of the song. And her dance break??? I mean, queen slayed but isn't that a bit much for ONE member when Onda got the SAME 3 LINES OVER AND OVER AGAIN??

Same with Yiren. Also can we talk abt the power that maknae has, like her part is EASILY my fav and going down in everglows iconic lines list.

Sihyeon is our vocal queen and I feel like she didn't get to showcase it at ALL. Please give that beautiful soul more lines to sing with her beautiful voice. PLEASE! Sure she may not be as stable as Mia but who gives a fuck abt stability when music shows and award shows play the backtrack so loudly you can't hear the fucking artist even if they want to be heard! (Oof I'm rambling again..)

E:U and Aisha, our rappers, got their share of lines because their rappers, so I honestly don't have much to complain abt with that. Also those girls SERVED looks, especially Aisha. Black hair and blue eyes never fail to impress me.

The choreo was amazing too, I can't describe how much I already like to watch EVERGLOW perform, and this choreo feels like they have more freedom to move around, idk why, it's just a feeling.

talking abt EVERGLOW performing, no.1 I think they're VERY underappreciated performers. Also I think their company gave Mia the most screen time and lines and time for the camera to pan to her is BC of her stage presence. Mia is an OUTSTANDING performer and imo one of my faves of pre-4th gen (you'll get it if you watch angelina). I mean, have you seen her facial expressions when she's performing? Just...what an icon! It's one of the reasons she became my bias, deservingly so.

My rating for the song? 7/10. Adiós kind of lost it for me after a while and Dun Dun is too fresh to say it can never be old or stay in my head like Bon Bon Chocolat. I don't think I'll have much to say on the whole album atm bc i listened to it all once (not including the title track of course). No Lie's chorus is stuck in my head (but honetly i wish one of the others would have sang the no lie part instead of Mia because she sings 70% of this album and that aint a good look. The line distrubution is my other problem but otherwise I think the choreo, performances so far and the song is great!

((Also none of the outfits stood out to me except for Aisha's with the blue coat thing? (Sry, i don't fashion) now that i think abt it , it was pretty mediocre, I think she just pulled it off really well because she has this aura and look of being the badass bitch.))

Im posting something soon abt where i think the newer kpop groups that ik well enough are going. Ive already compared EVERGLOW and BLACKPINK but now I have more reasons so to see you should click here to read that. (Ill add the link once its posted this week.
