Gorillaz Teacher! AU Headcanons

Headcanons for an au where the Gorillaz members are high school teachers instead of a virtual band. lol I've been thinking about this idea for awhile now and I thought it be alot of fun to do, so enjoy! Hopefully it's not too bad. Special thanks to my friend @you-cant-tell-me-what-to-draw for helping me with this. I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes.

Murdoc:

• Wait, how'd he even get this job and why hasn't he been fired yet???

• Teaching is honestly just a shitty day job for him, once he earns enough, he's quitting to become a famous rockstar with his own band! Ah, he could see it now - fame, glory, girls, it sounds like a dream come true! But, until he had the money to make that dream a reality, he was stuck as the school's social studies teacher.

• When he quits his job as an "educator" it's gonna be very similar to the fuck you scene from the movie "Half Baked".

• The kids in all his classes really don't like him.

• He shows up to class 30 minutes late most of the time. Sometimes he'll show up completely sober, while other times he'll show up drunk.

• The pickle's got WAY too many political views that he refuses to keep to himself.

• If Murdoc falls asleep at his desk, one of the kids might try to either draw a dick on his forehead and take a picture of it, or they might try to put a 'kick me' sign on his back. But they have to be EXTRA careful or they might wake the grouchy goblin up!

• If he does wake up, he'll be extremely mad and end up giving the whole class a pop quiz first thing tommorrow morning.

• GRADING PAPERS IS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ARSE...So he simply doesn't do it.

• The only time Murdoc will actually teach his class something about social studies is if the principal, or some other important adult of the school, walks into the room to see what's up. Once they leave, he goes straight back to sleep.

• He thinks that Stuart Pot, the school's new music teacher, is an idiot. He decides to give him the nickname '2D' because he feels that the man is "too dense" to be a music teacher. Murdoc has walked by Stuart's classroom a couple of times before and has overheard him and his students singing while Stu plays the piano. He would usually put his ear against the door to hear more. He had to admit - the guy had some really nice vocals. Plus, he's tall, pretty, has blue hair and both of his eyeballs! Murdoc jots down in his head that he has to remember to force that Stu-Pot guy to be the front man of his future band once he gets the money he wants and decides to quit.

• Murdoc only tries to "befriend" 2D because he's a music teacher, and also because he wants him to be his future front man.

• When he learns that the teacher of the class with the highest test scores will receive a large bonus pay, he decides to change his style of "teaching", forcing the students in his class to study intensely for the upcoming test. However, that doesn't do much as the kids end up getting low scores on their tests.

• He's been embezzling money from the 9th grade bake sale.

2D/Stuart Pot:

• He's the new music teacher!

• He quickly becomes well-liked by students and co-workers. 

• Stuart's a nice teacher who carries himself off as a goofy professional who knows what he's doing.

• Believes that his students will become great musicians one day.

• He sometimes likes to teach with music playing in the background.

• He may accidentally give students test answers when they asked for clarification on a question.

• Will write original songs for his class to perform.

•Has an afterschool club where he teaches students how to play piano, keyboards, and melodica.

• https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WHLITe7KM_Y (His class in a nutshell)

• Stuart is a bit terrified of Murdoc because one time, when the two were on lunch duty together, Murdoc was explaining to him a dream that he had last night where he launched his car through a music shop that Stu-Pot was apparently working at and had knocked one of his eyes out! " Oh, uh, o-okay... W-Well, it's a good thing you aren't actually going to run me over with a real car, right?....RIGHT?!"

Noodle:

• She has a full real name, but prefers for people to refer to her as "Noodle" which was a nickname she got back in her childhood.

• The kids usually refer to her as "Ms. Noodle".

• She's the teaching assistant/ teacher's aide for Stuart's class!

• She's super kind because she pretty much helps everyone in the class who needs it, even the bratty kids.

• She's in charge of guitar club afterschool!

• She really likes guitar club since it provides a safe and fun environment for students to come together and enjoy music.

• She's a queen at playing acoustic guitar and ukulele!

•  You'll most likely find her in the teacher's lounge playing on her pink nintendo ds while drinking tea and munching on the vending machine candy and snacks that they had in there.

• The teacher's lounge was her favorite room to be in for obvious reasons.

Russel:

• He's the no nonsense math teacher who will joke around with his students from time to time, but then get very serious with them when it comes to their grades.

• Mr. Hobbs knows how to make math fun with a capital F!

• They didn't do so well on a test? Not a problem! Russel will happily allow a student to retake it, so as long as they go home and study.

• He'll greet each student by their name as they walk into his class.

• Russel generally cares about his students and wants the best for all of them. 

• He's real with his students.

• Will bring in a treat for the class if they did really well on a quiz or test!

• Allows his students to be on their phones once they've completed all their work.

• When his students throw him a surprise party in classroom on his birthday, he breaks down in happy tears.

• Murdoc's class is across the hall from his.

• Russel doesn't know why but...he gets the feeling that Mr. Niccals is teaching for all the wrong reasons.

• He really doesn't think Murdoc should be teaching teenagers, or really anyone. I mean, Russel couldn't think of anyone less suited to being a teacher.

• Whenever he's in the teacher's lounge, he likes socializing with other teachers like 2D or Noodle but never with Murdoc. He's someone Russel tries to avoid.

Happy Birthday to a Mr. Murdoc Niccals, I hope you get out of prison soon you handsome, angry, old pickle.

[hisband]

[txt] A lil bird told me it's your birthday! I'm sorry that I'm not there to tell you personally, but should you want a place to celebrate properly with a special someone, I have a feeling there's two seats in your name at American Cut Steakhouse, Midtown Manhattan. Treat yourselves, on my dime. Happy birthday, Mr Niccals!

   MUR.DOC’S BIRTHDAY 2K18!

  [ txt outgoing to dragon lady ] Was that little bird Gren by any chance? Pretty sure he’s let it slip to just about everyone I know what today is, at this bloody point.

  [ text outgoing to dragon lady ] Not that I mind! I know he’s just doing it   because… well, mm. You know.

   [ text outgoing to dragon lady ] Don’t fret too much over not being here. We’ve been taking it pretty easy today. You aren’t missing much, aside from the two of us trying to throw socks in the laundry basket. We’ve been keeping score. Pretty sure Gren wants me to win because it’s my birthday. I told him his weakness is going to get him killed.

   [ text outgoing to dragon lady ] Wow, really? Gren and I have been looking for an excuse to go down to Manhattan again. Even better that we get a free supper out of it! I’ll be sure to let him know what you did for us. It’ll mean a lot to him.

   [ text outgoing to dragon lady ] Really, though. Thanks.

   [ text outgoing to dragon lady ] Means a lot to me, too.

gives him a heart - shaped / hand - made card. simplistic in the inside, / it reads, ' happy birthday, mr. murdoc ! have a good one, - frisk '

   MUR.DOC’S BIRTHDAY 2K18!

   What’s up with all these kids giving him homemade cards today? Is there some sort of trend going on that he isn’t aware of? Nevertheless, Murdoc crouches down to their height, carefully accepting what’s been offered to him. “For me?” he asks, opening the card. After taking a moment to read what’s within, Murdoc can’t help but smile. A simple message, but the fact it came from a fan - especially such a young one - melts some of the ice around his cold, dead heart. At least for the time being. “Wow! This must’ve taken you a while to make. You cut out a heart shape and everything! Not too shabby!” And now it’s being slipped inside his jacket, to be filed away with all the other birthday cards later. “And please, call me Murdoc. I may be old, but not quite old enough to be Mr. Niccals just yet.”

[hisband]

Instantly, he wrapped an arm around his best friend, almost aggressively pulling him into a one-sided hug all while that signature grin -- toothy, despite missing his two front teeth -- was shown. "Happy Birthday, mate! Look at'cha now!" Oh! Quickly letting go of Murdoc, he fished into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a few boxes of smokes; his favorite brand... or so he thought. "Since ya don't fancy sweets, anyhow."

   MUR.DOC’S BIRTHDAY 2K18!

   There are only a handful of people allowed to touch the nefarious Mr. Niccals in such a way, and thankfully for 2D? He’s among them. Still, there’s a grimace to be found on the older man’s face as he’s pulled flush to his singer’s side, a low growl emitting from the back of his throat. Call it a defence mechanism of sorts. Sure he doesn’t mind 2D’s hugs like he used to, but he’s not sure if loving embraces are ever going to be his thing. And so Murdoc shoots him a dirty look, but doesn’t make any move to push him away - a far cry from how he would’ve reacted twenty-odd years ago.

   “Yeah, yeah, I knoooow. Murdoc is getting on in years! He’s an old man now so let’s all oooogle at him! Sod off.” He rolls his eyes, huffing, before waving a bony finger at him. “But I’ll have you know that dermatologists have offered me millions to learn the secret to my youthful appearance, and I always tell them the same thing…”

   His train of thought gets lost somewhere along the way as 2D pulls out not one, but three boxes of Lucky Lungs cigarettes. Easily something he could’ve picked up at the store himself, but is he going to say no to free fags? Absolutely fucking not! With a big smile on his face, Muds reaches over, taking the boxes from his friend and holding them to his chest. “Cheers, mate! That’ll save me a trip or two to the drugstore. Good thinking. Maybe I’ll even let you bum some of these if I have any left over.”

   A half-arsed offer, it was, but from someone like him? He might as well have offered 2D half the money in his bank account.
