♡♡ Early Years ♡♡

Rio's household was always chaotic, and not in the fun way. Her mother went missing when she was 9, and her father couldn't cope. He had problems before, too, but that sent him over the edge.

Her father was the cause of two scars: one across her ribs, and another across her face. After receiving these wounds at age 12, Rio grabbed what valuable items she had and left. Her little brother Hayes followed her down the street until she took him to his friend's house, then carried on her way alone. Her younger half sister, Persephone, was living with her mother and had no idea of the situation.

After successfully running away, Rio had made her way to the abandoned motel at the other side of town. She wasn't afraid of a lot of things even then, because no matter what she faced outside of her family home, she could always think of something scarier.

Rio took discarded packaged foods from the grocery and convenience store dumpsters and would do small jobs for people in the neighbourhood in exchange for chore pay. She wasn't above stealing as well, but often preferred to pay. One elderly woman whom she helped in the garden would often let her in to eat and allowed her to bathe, because the girl was always filthy. There was no water to be had at the old motel.

A man named Emile would give her free food whenever he encountered her doing chores for his neighbours, and often packed little bagged lunches for her. He encouraged her to go to school, which she would do eventually. At his insistence as well, Rio began to save up her chore money.

Emile also gave her blankets and more clothes, which she took back to her motel hideout.

♡♡ Teens ♡♡

Emile gave her a more regular job of taking deliveries to people across town for him. Because she had known him for a few years, he offered she stay in his girlfriend's place (but not his, because it had a lot of shady traffic.) Rio agreed. Marita, Emile's girlfriend, was slightly older than Emile and a bit more strict, but still got along very well with Rio.

In highschool, Rio was extraordinarily rebellious. She ignored homework and paid no attention in class, despite her teachers trying to keep her interested. Her Science and Math teachers believed she had the potential, but no patience.

Rio got into fights at school sometimes over very small things. She was known as pretty isolated despite having solid acquaintances. No one could seem to get very close. Well, except for the seniors, and some football players, and when she was (miraculously) a senior, it was the learning assistant.

As a teen, Rio was something of a fire-starter. Minor events of arson included setting fire to unused sheds or crumbling garages, which were always saved before any *really* serious damage was done. She usually only set fire to something if she knew it belonged to someone that she believed to be a royal and utter prick, or if it couldnt be used anymore.

You should know that she always slept excellently after setting some old arsehole's stuff ablaze.

♡♡ Early Adulthood ♡♡

Rio got into the habit of *favours*. She found out Marita managed a gentleman's club in the town over. Rio started working for Marita, doubling as a waitress and an entertainer. She also made friends with a fellow entertainer, Alisha. Rio also happened to continue to do Emile's dirty work...which was usually illegal, she had realised. She didn't mind, though, because he would give her a higher pay cut as she was an adult and he had always treated her fairly and decently.

Emile noticed Rio drawing on napkins one day when she was on her break. Emile asked if Rio could tattoo the drawing onto Emile's back. Rio declined, but said if she ever got into the business then she would.

Emile talked with the other people that worked at the club who had grown close to Rio. For her birthday, the group bought her a tattoo gun. She started giving them all simple tattoos and practicing on fruits to build her skill. She showed a lot of promise, which did not go unnoticed to her friends.

After a few months of Rio working 3 jobs at the club, Emile called in his friend Ace, the cousin of Alisha, to ask him for a few favours (notably, bringing in more business). Ace brought in his gang and some other people he knew and then met Rio. Rio gave him a tattoo and they would talk every night he came in. He started inviting her to parties where she would completely avoid alcohol, but simply couldnt say No to a few choice psychoactives.

The small group that Rio was close with pooled their tips until they had enough to give to Rio to open her own parlour. She went to community college for 2 years for business.

Ace, Alisha, and Emile went with Rio when she paid for a little place on the corner and helped her get her first few clients. She was 21.

♡♡ 20s....wild, wild 20s ♡♡

One day at her shop a man came in to get a tattoo. Nothing special, not really...but he and Rio really hit it off. His name was Tex, which they thought was funny because they both had place-names. Tex had also encountered Rio briefly at Marita's club.

Tex only really laughed in front of her that one time. However, she moved in with him early in the relationship. It was better than the rotting apartment she had been surviving in..or it seemed that way, at first.

As it turns out, Tex was made of the same stuff her rotted father was made of.

Emile drove to check on her when she hadn't shown up to either of her jobs for months and wouldn't answer phone calls. He found her on the living room floor totally spaced out watching They Live. Emile takes Rio to Alisha's place, where she stays for one year. She was 23.

Tex relentlessly threatens Rio until she moves back in with him. He essentially holds her hostage for three years. Rio broke down, and with the help of Emile, she contacted Ace and his gang.

They came over quickly and brought the gang. Emile and Alisha packed Rio's things and filled Emile's car with them while Ace and the gang waited for Tex to get home.

After nightfall, Tex came home where Rio confronted him. He didn't take to her suggestion of splitting up and attacked her. She fought back, all that working out paying off, but Ace and the gang ultimately tore Tex away from her and finished the job themselves. Rio yelled at them, saying they were all too young to be doing this. Especially Ace, who had been getting protective of her despite her being older than him. She apologised for being irresponsible, for letting them get involved, and..for yelling. She took an ice pack and left with Emile, who even in his sixties, said he would never get tired of wasting a prick like Tex.

Ace called Rio at Emile's and insisted she stay at the gang's hideout. She would be safer and surrounded by noise (which she liked). She declined, saying she couldn't let Ace take care of her like that, because she was the one who had usually protected him. She loathed the fact that she let herself slip so far. Ace was like her brother. She had to laugh, though. If Hayes ever had to look out for her this way, she would really be in trouble.

About four years later, Rio went to her tattoo parlour one day and fell apart. While she was having a nervous breakdown, the other artists were at a total loss. One of them quit on the spot. The clients all felt awkward, and the receptionist was ready to call police. Rio apologised and left before he had the chance. She was 31.

After that event, Rio moved to New York to start over. She isolated herself and spent most of her time working out, fucking around on guitar, listening to music, and watching MTV. But to make money, she once again took a few odd jobs and worked as a waitress in a cafe across the street from her apartment. She purchases a ball python and names her JeepersCreepers, but calls her Jeep for short.

While working for an old man, she noticed he had been harassing and being inappropriate with young girls that would walk by his house on their way to school. She saved a girl walking home from becoming another victim to him, and took her home safely through the city. Her family thanked Rio, and Rio promised to look out for the family, who were struggling.

Rio set up a fire that would surely look like an accident, and set it in the evening before she left his house.

She was caught and questioned, and sentenced to prison for 7 years. 4 for manslaughter, and 3 for arson. The girl and her father visit Rio in prison every visitation day.

Rio gets out of prison at 38.

♡♡ Forties...could it get any worse? ♡♡

Working for Emile again once she was out of prison, Rio had saved up a good amount of money and bought Ace and his gang a new hideout. She took up a job through Emile's connections working as a roadie for Dethklok. With this money, she bailed one of their friends out of prison, and gave her some money to pay rent.

Rio was working mostly to pay back everything she owed anyone, even if they gave it to her without looking for her to eventually give it back. She helped out the girl and her father where she could, and was slowly paying Emile and the group back for buying her shop. She got another job as a tattoo artist in a parlour a street over from her apartment.

Things were going very well for Rio! She had a steady job, good friends, and decent money. She had her freedom and her music, and was relatively happy. (We'll just pretend she doesn't have a slew of psychological issues).

However, while on a late shift at the cafe she and the band had stopped at, a small group of men tried to start a fight with each other. She got in the middle trying to calm everybody down, but a brawl broke out anyways. Caught in the middle, she ended up fighting back.

Rio was sent to prison for assault charges for another 5 years.

When she got out at 45, she moves back home and in with Emile, who is only getting older. She takes up a job at her old parlour, reuniting with the owner who was once her emplyee. Emile and Rio spend every day together when she isn't at work. He had passed on leadership of his little "business" to his second in command, and was happy to live a technically retired life.

Rio does also spend time with Alisha, who often drags her along to hangout with Ace and the gang. They all become a relatively tight knit group, even closer than they were before Rio had moved.

Alisha and Ace insist that Rio move in with them at the hideout she had paid for, which they had all moved out of. Rio declines at first, wishing to stay with Emile, but Emile tells her to go and keep living a young life.

Rio reluctantly moves, but visits Emile every day.

During her time living with Alisha and Ace, she meets Noodle, Russel, and 2D. Their friend Murdoc was apparently in prison.

When Ace and Alisha showed no real signs of slowing down their shenanigans, Russel offered for Rio to stay with them while things were calm. Having become very fast friends with Russel, Rio agreed. Rio was 46.

Shortly after Rio settles in, Noodle leaves to find Murdoc.

Rio and Russel take a trip together to relax and explore. Russel suggests that Rio work for the band for a greater sense of job security. They discuss the full details of this, and she becomes a roadie doubling as security for the band members safety. This is similar to her previous and brief employment under the band Dethklok. Noodle, while away, informs them that Murdoc is alive.

Russel finds he needs to go to Mexico, so Rio returns to her own home. She then goes to visit her brother, Hayes, who she had not seen since she was a child. She discovers through Hayes that their mother had been murdered, and her remains were found years ago. Hayes offers some of the items from their mother that he had managed to get his hands on. Rio takes the keychain with her mothers maiden name on it, a coffee mug with a cat and a fox playing printed on the side, and a knitted blanket made by their grandmother. Hayes insisted she take more, because he did have quite a lot, but Rio declined. She left in the middle of the night, calling Emile, Alisha, and Russel to talk about what she found out.

Rio returns to her house and puts her mothers belongings in her spare room. She returns to the bands' HQ to be around her friends for a while.

Rio meets Murdoc. She is a bit wary of him and is extraordinarily distant. She finds him funny and charming even though her expression of that is... limited, to say the least. Their interactions are often a bit awkward and snarky, sometimes they clash. He tries to be friendly, she is standoffish. She tries to talk with him, and he avoids many serious questions, gets his story mixed up, or lies, which she notices.

They have a strange magnetic friendship though, and find themselves becoming very balanced when around each other. They begin to spend a lot of time together, especially when Noodle, Russel, and 2D have their own plans without Murdoc.

They have a nearly identical sense of humour, some similar life experiences, and nearly opposite energies. He is generally chaotic, while she is pretty neutral. (unless of course, you piss her off or she is going through something mentally.)

Murdoc finds that Rio listens, understands, and very casually enjoys just being near him. The more excited he is about this, the more he seeks her out. The more he finds her to talk with her or show her something, the more Rio feels it's the best part of her day.

Russel, Noodle, 2D, and even Ace are very aware of Murdoc's obvious interest, and sometimes get annoyed by his obnoxious flirting with Rio, despite Rio seemingly not being here nor there about it. Murdoc catches the hint of their disapproval, and decided to be even more obvious and flirtatious as a result. That, or he loudly defends himself against comments that nobody had even made yet.

The two of them have an....encounter, and then Murdoc becomes slightly distant. Rio acknowledges that it was a possibility, and is relatively unfazed. Murdoc however is going through a million thoughts a minute, and equally cant stand being with or without her.

Rio spends more of her time with Russel again, who expresses a bit of worry for how close she's getting with the bassist. She realises then that it may be a bit more than she thought, and admits this to Russel, but assures him that it won't go any further.

Murdoc and Rio's relationship continues through this bizarre distance until Rio confronts him about his behaviour, because he's starting to be, well...Murdoc, but just a bit more of a dick. She thought he had started doing things just to spite her, or to hurt her. It was starting to piss her off. He insists he had only ever done those things to get her off his mind, never to hurt her, and indeed he never even knew she noticed.

During that confrontation, Murdoc FINALLY accepts that he cares for her, and when his answers start becoming shorter, Rio realises this as well. She asks him, and he wants to lie, but tells her the truth anyway.

After Rio's admittance that she considers Murdoc as something special but not wanting him to hold back from the rest of his life, Murdoc declared that they would be in a seriously exclusive relationship (if she wanted to be, of course), no fine print and no funny business...except the sort of funny business that could occur between only the two of them.

Rio accepted, but still told him he had freedom if he wanted it. She expressed that she no problem with any endeavours he might want to experience with other people. In response, he said it wouldnt be necessary, he already was free and experiencing quite a lot of endeavours with her already, but he appreciated the gesture anyway.

Rio and Murdoc kept their relationship a secret to not upset the band, or even potentially some fans.

♡♡...Now?♡♡

Rio and Murdoc have a partially secret relationship. Those who know are deeply trusted. Really, the band has their suspicions. Noodle is especially aware of the way Rio and Murdoc's interactions have changed. Noodle informs the others, and they confront Murdoc about it. Rio walks in on the confrontation and tells them the truth. While they are reluctant for a while, they still support Rio and figure that she can make decisions for herself.

Everyone outside of their inner circle is still out of the loop entirely...but it's hard to ignore all their photos together, the sharing of clothes, Murdoc's random yammering about Rio the Roadie, and Rio's uncharacteristic happiness.

𝐂𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐒

— 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐝 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

hey everyone ! by reading call of duty fanfictions, I was inspired and I would like to help writers who are struggling to find code names for their character (whether for y/n [the reader] or for original characters) !

here then is a list of codenames (with their definition, their meaning and what they reflect of the person who has it, arranged in alphabetical order) :

* there are feminine, masculine and neutral names ! mostly neutral.

« 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑 » !

collar [noun.] : an ornamental chain or string of

beads, jewels, or links worn round

the neck.

[verb.] : to kill someone by putting a

burning rubber tyre around their

neck.

– the person who bears this name (here a woman, because of the funfact of this code name below), could have a soft and welcoming apparence (according to others). She is literally sweet, very calm, rather unsociable and a little shy, but who nevertheless knows how to get out of her comfort zone and be an excellent ally: faithful, efficient and always there for the good moment. We consider ourselves lucky to have her and we do not want to lose her (in anyway, no matter what relationship we have with her).

– Fun fact! : This code name is taken from « She’s my collar », the name of one of Gorillaz and Kali Uchis' songs (two artists I love. This song is a featuring they made together.). In the song, the "collar" was very important and necessary, we can’t hate her. We always end up coming back to her, no matter how ok you try to get away from her. She's literally the collar.

« 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 » !

crown [noun.] : a circular ornamental headdress

worn by a monarch as a symbol

of authority, usually made of or

decorated with precious metals

and jewels.

[noun.] : the top or highest part of

something.

– i don’t really have a personality ideas of the person who would bear this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion). However, I think the code name itself says a lot about the role of the person wearing it: they would probably be someone in charge, leading a group.

– Fun fact! : ‘Crown’ is the name of one of Freddie Dredd's songs (an artist I appreciate very much. my favorite song from him is Witness.)

« 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇 » !

faith [noun.] : strong belief in the doctrines of a

religion, based on spiritual

conviction rather than proof.

[noun.] : complete trust or confidence in

someone or something.

• synonym: trust.

– i think the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is a person you can trust, who covers everyone's backs. They’re a good right arm, and very chill person.

« 𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐄 » !

kerosene [noun.] : a clear liquid with a strong

smell made from coal or

petroleum and used as a fuel

in jet engines or heaters and

lights.

– the person who bears this name (regardless of gender, this one is neutral in my opinion), as its definition implies, is important is useful, being the engine, the energy of something. so I would imagine a leader (of squad or whatever) having it.

– Fun fact! : Kerosene is the name of one of Crystal Castles' songs (one of my favorite musical band. my favorite song from them is Untrust us.)

– For people who would find this name long, Keros (which would come from « kerosene ») or Kero (which sounds like the word « hero ») simply are also very good !

« 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 » !

leather [noun.] : a material made from the skin

of an animal by tanning or a

similar process.

– i don’t really have a personality ideas of the person who would bear this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion, but I would see more of a woman with it!), to be honest.. I am sorry. This code name just reminded of the names « Lea » and « Luther ».

Do not hesitate to explain your ideas about it in the comment section.

« 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍 » !

rain [noun.] : the condensed moisture of the

atmosphere falling visibly in

separate drops.

– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is a very stoic person, but not necessarily unsociable. We don’t really know what we think of them : they’re like something that falls suddenly without warning and which makes you sick if you do nothing, which can do good or harm (they reflect what rain is, so).

– Fun fact! : Rain (in the pronunciation) looks like the word « Reine » in French which means queen.

« 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐌 » !

realm [noun.] : a kingdom.

[noun.] : a field or domain of activity or

interest.

– i don’t really have a personality ideas of the person who would bear this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion, but I would see more of a woman with it!), to be honest.. I am sorry.

Do not hesitate to explain your ideas about it in the comment section.

« 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐍 » !

siren [noun.] : in greek mythology, a woman

whose song lured unwary sailors

to the rocks.

[noun.] : a device that makes a loud

prolonged signal or warning sound.

– the person who bears this name (rather a woman because of the first definition) is not referred to her charm, her physical appearance, but to her ability to deceive the enemy and to mope in the decor, in the role she plays. this name would therefore go well with a spy (or a traitor, it depends on the point of view of the relations that this woman has with others).

« 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐍 » !

thorn [noun.] : a stiff, sharp-pointed woody

projection on the stem or other

part of a plant.

– the person who bears this name (this one is neutral in my opinion, but I would see more of a men with it!), is a dangerous person. this name is given to him by his bloody parlmaress and his modus operandi that sends shivers down your spine. this name is therefore given to him more for their activities than his person itself.

« 𝐕𝐀𝐌𝐏 » !

vamp [noun.] : a woman who is confident that

she is attractive to men makes

use of it in order to get what she

wants, who uses her charm or

wiles to seduce and exploit men.

– the person who bears this name (here a woman because of the definition) is not referred to her charm, her physical appearance, but to her ability to deceive the enemy and to mope in the decor, in the role she plays. this name would therefore go well with a spy (or a traitor, it depends on the point of view of the relations that this woman has with others).

« 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 » !

weather [noun.] : the state of the atmosphere at

a particular place and time as

regards heat, cloudiness,

dryness, sunshine, wind, rain,

etc.

[verb.] : wear away or change the

appearance or texture of

(something) by long exposure to

the atmosphere.

– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), could be someone who is lunatic, does things well (although sometimes acts on a whim), and who adapts to any situation. They are easy-going and stubborn at the same time and likes to be in control of anything ! So I see this person being a leader, an example, someone we like to follow, ect, despite their flaws.

– Fun fact! : Weather is the name of one of Freddie Dredd's songs (an artist I appreciate very much. my favorite song from him is Witness.)

« 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇 » !

worth [noun.] : the level at which someone or

something deserves to be valued

or rated.

[adj.] : sufficiently good, important, or

interesting to be treated or

regarded in the way specified.

– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is someone you trust. they’re a moralizer, someone who puts people in their place when necessary, who always has the right words.

« 𝐖𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇 » !

wraith [noun.] : a ghost or ghostlike image of

someone, especially one seen

shortly before or after their

death.

• synonym: spectre, ghost.

[noun.] : a wisp or faint trace of

something.

– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), is someone you trust. they’re a moralizer, someone who puts people in their place when necessary, who always has the right words.

« 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇 » !

youth [noun.] : the period between childhood

and adult age.

– the person who bears this name (gender doesn't matter, this one is neutral in my opinion), as its definition implies, is just young (but not a minor). I would imagine the person who has this code name to be the youngest person in the group they are in.

𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐭 𝐦𝐞!! 😁

hey babies!!

i thought it was time enough that i did an all abt me, since i love to talk abt myself (i’m just a girl) and assume you’d be willing to listen (i’m delusional.)

my name is rosie, i’m 14, i’m bisexual and i’m from england ☺️ i read, write, occasionally shift (fantasise abt it and never actually try) and apparently now blog.

believe it or not, i do have other interests asides from ryan gosling ‼️

these include:

- other hot celebrity men, most of which are in their 50s now and have no idea i exist

- shows like gilmore girls, tsitp, friends and ginny and georgia, etc

- movies like saltburn, the notebook, titanic, romeo + juliet, love actually, back to the future, top gun, grease, 10 things i hate abt you, she’s the man, etc

- music like mitski, jeff buckley, bôa, kali uchis, mac demarco, gorillaz, boygenius, etc

- SUMMER🔥🔥🗣️🗣️☀️☀️👙👙🍉🍉⛱️⛱️

- tarot cards

- italian food

- ‘everything happens for a reason,’ etc

- and the general concept of love 🥰

i was thinking of beginning to blog abt more general concepts, as, as much as i love him, there is only so much you can say abt ryan gosling. ‘he’s so yum,’ ‘i love him,’ and ‘hit me with a car ryan gosling’ all gets a bit repetitive after a while 😔

general concepts - fave films, series’ and songs / bands / singers, other fitties ofc, roman empire experiences of mine, my crush / ex (💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔) bc the whole thing is lowkey so interesting like YES, quotes and / or general mental health stuff (i wanna be a therapist when i’m older 😚,) and more!!

i do do a lot of writing, but mostly for myself to feed my need for fake scenarios of things i wish would happen to me 😢 but i would totally write on here if yous wanted me to.

a few ppl i would write for would be:

- ryan gosling in his regular celebrity form

- noah calhoun (the notebook)

- felix catton (saltburn)

- jess mariano (gilmore girls)

- leonardo dicaprio (as himself, jack dawson and romeo montague)

- matt sturniolo

- damon albarn

and probably others if requested x

my ‘to watch’ list:

- perks of being a wallflower

- dead poets society

- the breakfast club

- the end of the f****** world

- the vampire diaries

- gossip girl

and that’s it!! if you made it this far, thank you for staying. love and appreciate you all 💟

Apparently there was going to be a Gorillaz TellTale game???? Damn there’s just too many failed ventures with this property…Jamie was going to work on it for sure, and Cass too!

Anyways, what do you think of what was revealed? Do you think it would have been too ambitious and clashing with the usual (at the time) format anyway?

I saw that in a server and I'm just choosing to take everyone's word that it isn't fake haha. Assuming it's legit, it definitely reads as classic Gorillaz, when they were all about zombie apocalypses. I'll be real, the zombie genre is one of my least favorite genres of horror. It's very one note to me, sure a few movies switched it up and made them fast, but by and large they seem to follow the same formula.

This is completely personal opinion, but the leak itself read as kind of busy to me. The first few paragraphs really pull me in, and I'd be thrilled if they had stopped at the great flood dredging up the city's past. Very topical and very biblical. After all, the misdeeds of western society are numerous and unforgivable, and there would have been a lot of potential for important social commentary. It's also very creepy! Which I love.

BUT

...adding zombies and then MORE zombies on top of it - probably to make some sort of statement about how celebrity worship is ~bad and we're all sheep or something - kinda kills the suspense and hype for me. I understand why, and how it would tie into the established lore, and it's not terrible, but it makes the whole story way too busy...and also kind of repetitive (Noodle fought zombies in P2, there was the Clint Eastwood video...how many zombie like adversaries do we need?). They had a solid foundation to explore, and to me, that would have been enough. But I tend to prefer more subtle stories that build tension through the unknown and incomprehensible, rather than throwing the horror right in your face. I don't know that I would call it too ambitious in general, but too ambitious for Gorillaz? Yes. And also in need of some editing. But overall, it's a cool idea! Idk if that kind of tone would mesh well with Gorillaz of today, but it's neat to get a glimpse into what they were working on at one point.

finally found enough time to tend to this music tag from @ocontraire. thanks for giving me an excuse to spill songs all over everyone’s dashboards, leaf. tagging @charlosgoggles, @c2-eh, and anyone else who feels like doing it!

list 10 songs you want other people to hear

maybe they’re your favorite songs or you think they’re classics or they are little known artists that you want to give more attention to. whatever your reasons or no reason at all.

ended up going for some of the better known songs and bands in my library, because i listen to a lot of indie and if i had to pick just ten to list out it would take me years to finish this. full disclosure, my music taste is all over the place—but hey, here are the chosen ten in no particular order.

la devotee by p!atd. this song is like a drug to me. if you told me i could listen to one last song before i died, a strong case could be made for la devotee.

hurts like heaven by coldplay. this has a bounce off the walls, psychedelic type of feel. i used to listen to it to hype myself up in the mornings because who even had energy for high school.

teeth by 5sos. if the bass in this song was a person i would fuck it. i would probably fuck this entire song, period, but the bass. the vocals. the lyrics. jesus.

freal luv by far east movement. i listened to this song instead of paying attention in calc. i ended up failing calc, but to be fair, math has never been my strong suit.

northern downpour by p!atd. i don’t have the words to describe the way this song makes me feel, but it makes my heart ache in the best way.

just one yesterday by fall out boy. top ten songs to blast with your windows down. singing along is required, not optional.

don’t stop me now (revisited) by queen. nothing feels quite like screaming the pre-chorus at the top of your lungs when you’re two shots away from being blackout drunk. plus i’m queer. i can’t not include queen.

clint eastwood by gorillaz. this song practically a classic at this point. everyone and their mom has heard it, but that’s exactly why i had to include it. i first heard about gorillaz as a kid and i haven’t stopped listening to them since.

drown by bring me the horizon. no, mom, it’s not a phase. i’m terrible at trying to describe these songs, but this one has stuck with me since its release. i had a pretty shitty job last year, the kind that makes me sick to my stomach with anxiety, but listening to bmth tuned out The Horrors long enough for me to get to and from work—so there’s that, i suppose.

we didn’t start the fire by fall out boy. i’ve recommended this before and i’m doing it again. it’s a cover of billy joel’s we didn’t start the fire, and aside from the events not being in chronological order, i’d say fob did a pretty good job. i wouldn’t trust anyone else to write an updated version of this song.

and an extra because i never know when to quit, apparently:

alla ba ouff by omar rudberg. TODO EL MUNDO QUIERE BESAR ESA BOQUITA ROJA. that’s all i have to say.

#🏷️ #🚩 #when i tell you it’s a miracle i was able to restrict myself to just two apiece for patd and fob #vinyl

[paleimitatorz]

im so sad. the gorillaz artbook has jamie's best/most uniquely styled art in literal years but now phase 7 comes along and he goes back to untextured brightly-colored nothingness.

there was a recent interview with him where he literally admits that he finds drawing gorillaz promo art for albums and stuff boring and he actually enjoyed doing the artbook because he was able to be experimental with it (basically confirming what youve been saying for YEARS)

yeah...i've only seen a few glimpses of the models and they seem okay, but it doesn't surprise me to hear him confirm he's not too enthusiastic about drawing the majority of the material we see. it seemed really apparent that a lot of what he was drawing was stuff he didn't really wanna draw lmao...glad there was room for experimentation in the artbook though!

[chalkxtabletxtowers]

Okay so today I want to talk about something I've noticed in the Gorillaz fanbase, that has successfully creeped me out.

The infantilising of 2D, or as I like to call it: 2D is an innocent uwu baby 🥺🥺🥺

First of all, he's a 44 year old man. A GROWN adult. Even if you take his brain damage and hyphema into account, neither of those things make it reasonable for him to be infantilised so much. Yes, he's a slow thinker and as I mentioned in my hyphema post, people with this condition may need help because of their blurred vision, but it doesn't mean he isn't still capable of living a independent life, making his own decisions, making music, etc. He's living a very active life for someone with those conditions to be honest.

Second of all, a lot of people that infantilise him or use the narrative of him being an innocent baby that did nothing wrong, ever, and needs to be protected, either use this narrative to demonise other characters (usually Paula) or to more or less erase any criticism that is targeted towards him as a character and/or the way he was written in the lore.

Is 2D suffering a lot/has suffered a lot? Yes, absolutely. But he's not helpless, and he's definitely not innocent. While Murdoc was in Jail, he had no apparent issues with taking the lead other than becoming more arrogant and unlikeable because his ego went through with him. He has 7 children (as far as I know that's canon, correct me if I'm wrong) and probably a very active sex life. He has physically attacked Murdoc before when Murdoc brought up Paula in an interview, so he can defend himself. I'm not familiar enough with the lore to find more examples here, but if someone has any more, feel free to reblog this.

The point is, 2D is NOT an innocent baby and its incredibly creepy and off-putting to infantilise an adult character. You're acting as if he doesn't know what he's doing and needs to be protected from the cruel, cruel world. Do you also want to hold his hand while he takes a single step or¿

If anyone else has anything to add to this, please feel free to reblog this and add your take, I just needed to ramble for a hot minute.

#gorillaz #2d gorillaz #stuart pot #pls just stop #you are not cute or quirky you are just creepy #HE IS A ADULT #Jesus fucking christ the fact i need to ramble about this

[genericswordsmaiden]

I saw one of those "listening to Gorillaz on shuffle be like" meme videos and I started thinking. Remembering.

Remembering when Damon Albarn sang "you're by my side, but are you still with me? / the answer's somewhere deep in it, I'm sorry, but you're feeling it / but I just have to tell you that I love you so much these days / have to tell you that I love you so much these days, it's true" and my 12 year old self thought it was one of the most beautiful things ever. 8 years later, I find it so sad, but I still love To Binge. On Melancholy Hill was the first song I heard by them and it still moves me to tears. Empire Ants makes me levitate. Istg Plastic Beach is one of my favourite albums ever.

Also it's pretty funny (and somewhat frustrating) that I was in love with the lore, wrote fanfics about the characters in the band, watched everything and anything I could find on YouTube about them (god i cried so much when i watched el mañana for the first time) and listened to them and other Damon Albarn-related projects daily... and then I stopped because apparently no one in my country knew Gorillaz at that time and my peers gave me so much shit for it. And now I navigate the web and interact with people and see that there are lots of fans. And i mean lots. They're one of the most popular acts ever. I think should get "officially" in the fandom... finally.

This stream of consciousness has been brought to you by Claire, professional clown. Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day.

#gorillaz #claire rambling about stuff

[valhallgreg]

So this has been discussed in the gorillaz discord server before (mostly with @snobgoblin) but I wanted to share it to the tumblr hivemind:

So I’ve been thinking about how gorillaz is going to end a lot recently and kinda speculating about how it’s gonna happen bc it has to at some point (and DON’T PANIC I’M PROBABLY WRONG I have sort of a sneaking suspicion that this phase is going to be the final one), and I kinda thought like. What if they brought back the plot point from Plastic Beach where Murdoc causes the end of the world. Except this time he knows and finds out somehow that no matter what he does, he is always going to cause the apocalypse in one way or another, and hear me out because this is a bit insane, but considering the rest of the lore and the apparent time-travel adjacent elements of phase 7 so far, this isn’t too far fetched. Realizing that he in fact is the problem, he goes back in time to somehow erase his own existence and save the universe from himself. Just. Keeps his mother from seeing Sebastian or something, but just. Completely wiping himself from space and time. But not before writing one final song and a goodbye note before we get like a photo montage or something of what each of the others’ lives would have been in this reality where Murdoc had never met them (2D is still with Paula and has his eyes and kids and has a normal satisfying life, Russel still has Del with him and they go on to become a famous hip-hop duo, Noodle gets out of being a child soldier and becomes a guitarist in another band or just kinda does her own thing) and how much happier everybody ended up being without him. And if afterwards the Gorillaz team deleted like all their socials and everything and managed to somewhat erase the existence of gorillaz as a whole from the face of the earth. I just. I have a lot of feelings about this. The most selfless thing he would have ever done was not existing in the first place.

I want to hear 12-20 all evens!!

Oh boy this'll be a long one!

12. Ever stick a foreign object up your nose?

A rock by accident as a small kid and about 4 covid test swabs.

13. What is your religion?

No religion. I think there are gods. I think some people can be their own gods. It's not a serious business.

14. If you are outside what are you most likely doing?

Walking around! Although I almost never go outside when it's cold I used to have this route from my parents house where I'd walk by all the trees in blossom so I could smell them on the wind as I passed. 🌸

15. Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?

Behind. I'm actually pretty good at taking pictures. I have a decently fancy camera and my sisters used to always get me to take their photos for the Instagram before I refused to anymore.

16. Favorite band?

I know it's overdone but I think it's mother mother. Right now at least but as a kid I was really into the gorillaz.

17. Last lie you told.

My arms are super bruised from an incident and a small kid at my work asked how it happened. I told them I fought a bear out in the woods. 🐻

18. Do you believe in karma

Oh yeah I hope so.

19. What does your url mean?

It's from a piece of paper my auntie kept. It was a note I had written when I was so small the spelling was super wrong. It said "things I love: things that sparkle. Things that are soft. And things that smell nice" growing up I collected a lot of sparkly things and I made my url when I was like 13 and I've never changed it.

20. Greatest weakness and greatest strength.

Weakness is general laziness. The inability to start or finish things probably.

My greatest strength is being genuine. And goofy. And apparently being so warm and approachable that people will tell me a lot of secrets.

#ask #sweetlilnectarine #long post #god im happy i saved these i really needed a distraction after today. all of these asks were really nice to come home and chill to.

[violexides]

okay no you guys are fake bitches bc u all laughed when i was saying i thought Gorillaz was a video game similar to hades that had a lot of gay sex in it but i asked my sister and apparently the people in the band Gorillaz are fictional. so they probably WERE having sex and are also literally purple like they arent just these british guys . im still winning these

#i cant actually remember if this is the blog this incident happened on so i hope you guys know what im talking about

Gorillaz Kong Studios Kitchen/Dining Chronicles

Noodle's room pics Russel's room pics Murdoc's room pics ("mature") 2D's room pics More Gorillaz themed posts

Again, grimey af to get that Gorillaz vibe I was going for, if you look at the artwork it is often depicted as quite cluttered dirty and messy. So their kitchen and dining room were completely 100% made up by me I had no reference pic but just used the same vibe as the rest. Also a lot of my inspiration (not recreation) was from the Do Ya Thing video.

I placed those little mouseholes that I believe came with Cats and Dogs (also city living but the place-able object is apparently C&D) but it keeps giving them annoying tense buffs, even the members who are sloppy. I think I might try the deco version that was made by Bakie Gaming even though the hole decal is different...

Tame Impala - Currents

They're tame alright! This band is so toothless they can only drink music through a straw. Apparently in the 2010s psychedelic is when you put vocal filters over a really extremely boring song. This album sounds like it's made up out of tracks that Gorillaz threw away.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd

I don't know if this is an unexpected opinion for a transgender anarcho communist, but I like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Pre plane crash Lynyrd Skynyrd at least. Ronnie Van Zandt had great songwriting chops and was a solid lyricist. Going from the rollicking bar brawling Gimme Three Steps to the wistful Free Bird to the ripping solos of the second half of Free Bird. The variety here is something that a lot of southern rock albums lack. So yeah I'm recommending Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um

Mingus Ah Um is a collection of creative homages. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat eulogises recently departed band member Lester Young, Open Letter To The Duke refers to Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll to one of Jazz's originators Jelly Roll Morton. Rather than imitate the styles of his predecessors Mingus mixes a little bit of their essence into his style. Said style was ever evolving and this album, while still distinctly in the post bop era of Mingus' career, shows some signs of what would come later. The sense of orchestral arrangement within the confines of a smaller jazz band are present and this was the best that Mingus would record until he finally went full third stream.

Rush - Moving Pictures

I must not cringe. Cringe is the mind killer. Cringe is the little death that brings total obliAAAHHFUCK! Nope I can't do it. Rush is cringe. Sorry I can't do anything about it. You can't suck Ayn Rand's dick that hard and come back from it. On the other hand these motherfucker are really, really good at playing their instruments. This is also one of their least lyrically embarrassing albums for sure. If you want to listen to Rush but don't want to feel any secondhand embarrassment then you're shit outta luck, but if you want to hear some drums go absolutely fucking wild then you could do worse than Moving Pictures.

Run-D.M.C. - s/t

Believe it or not this was considered hard shit for the time. I guess. Whether or not you will like Run-D.M.C. is very dependent on how much you enjoy cornball shit. By modern standards this album is very corny. But if you let go of you preconceived notions about hip hop then you might find a really fun album with beats that hammer in an intense staccato that would go on to greatly influence future artists. Corny or not this album paved the way for hip hop's golden age so best pay it some respect.

Tysm for the AUs list!! I enjoyed reading it asgjd. I love the Tom/Greg Parallelisms and Shiv/Tom is so true! Angst and all hehe

I didn't expect to see Rachel and Finn here but now that I think of it, it MAKES SENSE lmao. I just watched Glee's first season though. I need to rewatch and watch the other movies fs

No problem! I love thinking about stuff like this.

Yay, another TomShiv believer!! That's personally my preferred characterization of 2Doc with the only exception being that I like it best when they figure out a way to be happy or somewhat happy in the end. IMO, TomShiv is where you see a lot of the deeper layers of 2Doc that aren't apparent at a glance.

I used to love Glee (though it did start to flop a lot very quickly lmao). it was one of my most recent fandom pre-Gorillaz, so it was one of my main points of reference starting out, so I honed in on the Rachel and Murdoc parallels right away 🤣. Realistically, he's probably some combination of Rachel and Santana, and I'm not just saying that because they were my favorite Glee characters djslaf. The parallels fall apart in later seasons, but season 1 (and maybe 2? It's been a while) is quality viewing.

Have fun watching the other movies! The list is all over the place in terms of genre, so there may be some whiplash lmao.
