Phase One 2D Having A Crush On Reader
- it’s a strange thing. When you are in love with someone and then another appears and you feel the love for them more than you should. That’s how 2D said it was with you.
- He would do little things that no one else really noticed. Would let you have the last of the peppermint tea, offer you biscuits, help you with anything you needed.
- No one noticed this. Except Paula. You and her did not get along due to her blatant disregard for 2D’s wellbeing and the disrespectful way that she would fawn over Murdoc while 2D was in the same room.
- You and her would often bicker but it ceased when you noticed that it made 2D upset and the other band members uncomfortable.
- When it inevitably happened, you were the first to rush to 2D to try to make him feel better. He was inconsolable for a few hours and was about to choke Murdoc the fuck out but you didn’t let him leave the room til he was calm. Russel was already… taking care of your lights work.
- When Paula left, she saw that her car had been spray painted with a derogatory term for disreputable person. You did feel bad…. That you also hadn’t slashed the tires.
- Murdoc could only await your acts of wrath. You locked him in his Winnebago until he apologized. (He made it about two weeks. But he ran out of fresh water.) and then you gave him the cold shoulder until he apologized to 2D directly.
- 2D did forgive him, which surprised you. But it was easier than it would’ve been because he had you.
- 2D was in love with you.

𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞
↳ warnings: fighting, brief mentions of injuries & alcohol. murdoc is a warning in himself to be frank
↳ song: rock the house—gorillaz
↳ notes: headcanons about murdoc & you. made to be platonic/a self insert type fic, but could be romantic too. this overall just stemmed from my infatuation and hatred for his green ass
nasterlist | commissions | carrd
• Murdoc is so self-absorbed. It's honestly beyond you how he hasn't floated away into the sun with how inflated his ego's gotten
• It doesn't help that he's regarded as the sole reason for bringing together one of the best bands ever recorded—something that he holds over the entire bands head when he feels like being an asshole
• With that giant persona of his inevitably there comes jealousy. The musician gets unreasonably grumpy if someone, especially you, is ever more excited to see a collaborator over for a recording session instead of him of all people
• "You were just gawking at 'em the entire time like an idiot! Wha', never seen a bloody live recording before?" Murdocs accent clipped his words as his gravely voice spit fire at you one afternoon. You just laughed at his annoyance, not even bothered by his attitude after years of putting up with it
• "Murdoc, it's De La Soul. Of course I'm going to be excited. It's ten times better than waking up to you rummaging around in the fridge with nothing but a thong on."
• "Get fucked you little twat." He barked, stomping off and ending the little spat. You didn't see him the rest of the day, no doubt off brooding in his Winnebago. It didn't bother you. More quiet time to hang out with Noodle for you!
• More than often, the two of you have been recorded in separate interviews talking about the other. Mostly just talking shit
• "So, what's this we've all been hearing about a certain bassist getting in a car accident?" A random reporter asked you one day from over their horn rimmed glasses. 2D, who was currently the only other person besides you that had been able to make it to the questioning, scratched his head absent-mindedly as you cackled in glee
• "Yeah yeah. I ran over Muds with my car one day. Just knocked his sorry ass right over. Pow! He recovered fine, dont worry, but the moment he did, I had to run for my life." You managed to get out through laughter. "Still have no idea how those fucking tabloids got ahold of that story."
• "Wasn't it an accident f'ough? I remember you sayin that." 2D tilted his head with a slight lisp
• You just grinned toothily and said nothing
• "It. It was an accident. Right?" He asked again, this time with more nerves
• The interview was cut off shortly after that
• On the topic of cars, Murdoc's own set of wheels was probably his only pride an joy apart from his bass. And ironically, the van was the bane of the rest of the bands existence
• The amount of times you had to bang on the Winnebago's dented door to tell him to shut up— the smell of cigarettes, sex, and too many air fresheners leaking from the cracks —should be a crime
• And each time without fail, you were always met with a shirtless Murdoc; either inviting you in for his version of a night of fun or just plain flipping you off
• You always found the latter easier to deal with
• Russel has always been the medium for any serious fights you and Murdoc would have. You both fight a lot, sure, but normally over small things like who should run out to get more booze or tune up band equipment. It was only when things got really heated that the drummer would step in
• Nine times out of ten, that just meant he'd pick you up with one arm and place you in a separate room until the two of you could stand to be around each other. It was always you he did that to, too, since the one time he'd tried that on Murdoc, Russel narrowly avoided a black eye and a week's docked pay
• It really was easy to forget that technically Murdoc is your boss. With how much shit he gives out, and vise versa from all of you, it really just felt like he was an annoying roommate. An annoying, rich, and vibrant green roomate
• At the end of the day, though, none of you really hated him. Well, the jury was still out on 2D, but you had a feeling the past few years the singer had been trying to pick himself back up
• Murdoc, however much of a prick he is, is still a key part in the band. Without him, some of the best song you'd all produced would have never happened, and some of your best drinking memories would have never happened. Hell, he even did a pretty good job raising Noodle. With plenty of help from everyone else, of course
• So no matter how many inanimate objects you all chucked at each other's head, at the end of the day you'd never trade him for another bass player
• "You lot getting soft on me now?" He grinned sharply at you, licking the outside of his teeth as you pretended to vomit at the mere thought of being nice to him
• "I'd rather die and be reincarnated as a cockroach." You grimaced dramatically. But the both of you were smiling at each other, breaking up the conversation with playful punches

L- Lost: /Losing their S/O in a crowd/
A/N: nothing much to say- besides I think I wrote to much for 2d's
Request: open
Edited: no
Pairing: The band x GN!reader
This is apart of my crack alphabet
Tw: Panic, Murdoc acts a bit toxic(and it's not ok don't let people treat you like that), idk if i missed something
°•□•°•□•°•♡•°•□•°•□•°•♡•°•□•°•□•°•♡•°
Tumblr media
-Bold of you to assume 2D wasn't the one getting lost
-It take's 2D a hot minute to realize S/O wasn't even there anymore
-At first he wouldn't realize it, so he would go about walking around doing whatever you two were doing- when he realized you two aren't holding hands anymore, so he looks back to go grab your hand when he realized S/O wasn't there
-Like Murdoc he comes to a freeze- as the info that his S/O is now gone sets it
-2D snaps back to reality when someone accidently bumps into him
-"oh- sorry didn't mean to-" the stranger was cut off by 2D's unintelligible panic talk before 2D scrambled away leaving the stranger confused
-2D would scramble all over the place looking for S/O panicked, to anyone who was looking from an outside perspective would be sincerely confused- I mean he doesn't look crazy or anything but he looks very lost
-And especially if you guys are on tour in a unfamiliar country or place for the first time
-Because if so- he's panicking get's worse
-Eventually he sees someone with a phone- and the realization that he should check his phone
-2D sighs in relief thinking that you probably sent him a text- in which you didn't and panic sets back in
-He spends the next half an hour looking for his S/O when 2D see's his S/O too busy looking at something to notice 2D
-2D stumbles over to S/O a bit winded and babbling about you being gone
-"Luv- where have you been-?" 2D said pulling you into a bone crushing embrace, "Why didn't you answer da' phone?"
-"oh sorry Stu... I got distracted, and my phone is dead so I couldn't answer any text-" you say as 2D still didn't let go
-After some reassuring hugs and a kiss and you two go back to whatever your doing- as 2D basically forgetting what just happened
Tumblr media
-He panics a bit but stays in place
-At first he just waits their hopeing S/O wanders back but when two minutes has passed and no sign of you
-Murdocs next checks his messages, and he had zero from you
-So now he's stressed as hell, but he tries to keep calm
-And walks around casually like nothings wrong, while he's sweating bullets and his eyes are darting all over the place looking for you
-every few minutes Mudz takes out his phone checking for a message
-He eventually find you and jogs over to you and grabs S/O by the arm and starts to grumble out frustrated nags
-"The hell- have' ya been, I've been looking all over the fucking place-" Murdoc would snap at S/O, as he drags S/O back to the car
-"Jeez sorry- just got distracted..." S/O would respond
-"Well why didn't you answer yer fuck'en phone?"
"Uh... I left it at home..."
-Murdoc would face palm
- you two didn't get to finish the outing because murdoc was stressed and just wanted to go home and relax
-But the next day you two went back out but this time Murdoc kept his arms around S/O's waist or shoulders
Tumblr media
-She looks around for a second before checking her phone to see if you texted her, and when she see's you didn't she would immediately start searching the area for you
-And Noodle finds you immediately- no joke, she take like a minute and then finds you
-"Hay S/O- where did you go?" Noodle said as she placed a hand on your shoulder as she walks up behind you
-"oh hey sorry Noods, I didn't realize I lost you..."
-Noodle accepted the apology and you two went about your outing but this time Noodle walked behind you to make sure you don't wander off
Tumblr media
-The most rational out of all of them
-Like Noodle, Russel immediately checked his phone and sighed when he saw no texts
- He would calmly look around for you- it took like ten to thirty minutes to find S/O
-And when he found S/O he didn't ask any question, he just walks up to S/O puts a hand on their shoulder and says "Hey baby- come on we have things to do"
-"Oh- hey Rus look what i found.." S/O would point at the thing that distracted them
-"yeah yeah- lets go hon" Rus would hold your hand as you two go about your day- and he would look over his shoulder every once in a while to make sure you're still there

I’m bored and it’s 00:09 at my place rn so here’s some personal Gorillaz headcanons of mine. (and no there’s no specific order so enjoy ig)
// tw: nsfw, long long hcs, I’ll try to shorten these i swear that was a lie , ooc a bunch , oh and RussDoc //
// General Band hcs //
When Noodle was about 10, she’d always sneak into Russel’s (or 2-D’s) room to cuddle up with him whenever it was raining at night or if she had a nightmare.
2-D has the worst eyesight out of the four, even worse than Russel’s for some reason.
Noodle’s hair during Phase 1 (that weird buzzcut) is because of Murdoc’s antics; Russel told him to cut her hair as it was getting too long, and… it came out funky.
Noodle’s iconic helmet is gifted from Murdoc after he failed to cut the girl’s hair correctly. A walkman was also gifted with the helmet.
During the recording of TNN, 2-D just kept writing songs that always tied back to Murdoc; he tried to change said lyrics, but it just wouldn’t work, so he went with it (not that he minds much, anyways).
Noodle and Ace were childhood friends. First becoming friends after about a few months of living in Kong Studios up until the El Mañana incident, which caused them to cut contact for a long while until Phase 5, where they reconciled.
Russel and Murdoc had known each other for a long time before Gorillaz had even been formed, and they’ve been dating on and off during those moments before Gorillaz. Now with the formation of the band, they’re closer than ever.
Russel has given Murdoc a taxidermy of a crow in remembrance of Cortez, though it’s never been the same for the bassist.
2-D had played dress-up all the time during Phase 1 with Noodle; playing princess, having tea parties, even sleepovers!
When Noodle had her first period, Murdoc was confused as hell (and was briefly disgusted), 2-D was more curious as to why and how, and Russel just became the dad, buying her chocolate, bringing hot water bottles to relieve any pain, and he even buys her tampons and pads if she ran out (true dad indeed). Applies to every phase basically.
Del likes to play with Noodle whenever Russel lets him. It’s quite the sight, a little Noodle being taught how to gamble by one of the funkyphantoms living inside Russel’s body.
// Band members x S/O //
When you asked 2-D for help with doing the laundry, he accidentally poured in crack instead of detergent in the washing machine. Your clothes that were unlucky enough to be washed in that washing machine 2-D used reeked of drugs for a long while, and 2-D apologized profusely and even bought you new ones to replace the old ones.
2-D definitely likes it best when you walk together in a park holding/ linking hands; he feels that there’s a bond forming (and he won’t bump everywhere as he can’t see well at all).
2-D asked you out to the local chippy during your first date with him, and he tried his best to impress you, all calm and prepared and all. It’s just that special 2-D charm that always gets you.
Murdoc, who successfully coaxed you into entering his Winnebago with him, realized that it was all messy and definitely made your skin crawl. He tries to quickly clean it up, but it fails. At least he gave you a big, fat barrage of apologies and hugs for the mess.
Murdoc definitely does not do/ enjoy PDA very much, but whenever there’s S/O’s ex/ enemy nearby, he’d get all close and cuddly to you all of a sudden. You like it when he’s like this.
Murdoc would definitely take you to a fancy-enough pub for your first date with him; he even took a shower and he wasn’t too rude to everyone involved, and it was all just to impress you! If that isn’t dedicated, you didn’t know what was.
Russel… he accidentally spilled some animal blood on you when he was doing one his taxidermy projects. You said it was only a small splatter, but he offered to clean it squeaky clean, even if it isn’t very noticeable at best.
Russel likes long, cold walks during winter with you. He always says that the snowflakes falling are like you dancing and falling from above.
Russel during the first date would take you out for a picnic in the park, or perhaps a midnight stargazing experience with him. He’s more of a person who’s enjoy doing these little things with you, and it warms your heart. It does, really.
Noodle would collect little things like seashells or little scraps of things to make you a pretty bracelet/ ring/ necklace out of. Noodle broke one of these that she gave you earlier in the day/ month/ year on accident, and she treated you like a queen for the rest of the day, even if you try to convince her that it’s no big deal.
Noodle likes to go out and adventure with you into the woods, a creek, places like that and such in search of memories and little bits and bobs.
Noodle took you out to out to dinner at her place, as she thinks that this’ll impress you, and it did; her room was tidy, the food was amazing, and Noodle was just all around perfect. You couldn’t take your eyes off her, not even for a minute.
// Nsfw shit below //
Whenever Murdoc just wouldn’t shut up at times when Russel was too tired to have sex in bed, he would just let his cock sit in the bassist’s mouth; a semi-replacement for sex when the drummer’s too tired to do so.
2-D masturbates quite often, and whenever he comes, it’s always a fuckfest; his nice, clean sheets have these stains, and they’re permanent stains, mind you.
**Applies to phase 5 Noodle and above** Noodle enjoys self-care, and has quite the array of dildos at her fingertips. Usually uses them to relieve period cramps; she’s read somewhere that sex can, and it does the job well, for cramp relief or simple pleasure.
Russel absolutely dominates Murdoc in bed, but sometimes the roles are reversed. Murdoc and Russel definitely likes it when they degrade and fill each other up. (Breedy breedy degradation kink who???)
yeah there’s not much down here, but I’ll definitely try.
— hearts, Harami

- almost suffocated you hash tag oopsie daisy
- "i-i thought- I thought I'd never see you again."
- "I'm just so glad you're safe."
- crying and throwing up
- so normally I'd try to keep the lore in these as vague as I can but hehehe >:) not this time

- and he runs up to you as fast as his scrawny ass legs will carry him and he squeezes you as tight as he can and he spins you around in the air trying not to bawl his eyes out
- personally I would've cried if I were in your position here but that's neither here nor there
- he's just so thrilled to sea you again :(
- please laugh that joke was funny
- genuinely words can't even express how much he missed you and how scared he was that he wasn't gonna get to see your smile or hear your voice ever again
- he tells you all about the whale and being stranded on a different island after the whale was beached
- he has so much to share with you and he doesn't stop talking for like 15 minutes
- a ton of kisses. so many
- like he couldn't go more than 10 minutes without a kiss before but now??????
- every 2 minutes at the very least
- for like a week straight

Bandmates reaction when they see their s/o being flirted with by some guy thats making their s/o nervous and anxious
I hope this one is okay!
2D:
It's in moments like these when his very clever wit comes out to play.
Whatever this creep says to you, 2D will answer with a humiliatingly sharp comeback. It lets the guy know that you are certainly not to be messed with.
He does this all without causing a scene and anyone else in the area is none the wiser. Except for you, of course, with whom he intertwines his fingers and holds you close.
He is somehow able to switch seamlessly between staring down at this guy with dark, forboding eyes. Then he turns to you with the softest expression checking if you're okay.
As soon as the creep has left, 2D offers to do whatever you need in order to return to being safe. Whether this is to take you home, or stay but never leave your side, etc. Whatever it is, he will do.
Murdoc:
Listen, this man is not the best fighter so punching the lights out of some guy might not be a viable option alkdsfjakld
Like 2D, he has a way of subtlety about his threatening guard. He wraps his arm around you, keeping you close. His voice deepens when he talks to this creep, unapologetically calling him stupid in some of the most creative ways imaginable.
Waving a hand, he signals to security to remove the creep. More than anything it's a show of power, telling everyone watching that HE is top dog, and YOU are certainly not to be messed with.
In fact, he offers to have everyone in the room removed just so you two can get some peace together and you have the opportunity to calm down from such an anxiety-inducing moment
Murdoc might grumble a joke or two and crack out a laugh at the look on the guy's face when he realised he was in trouble.
Noodle:
As soon as she spots how uncomfortable this guy is making you, she immediately becomes like an erupting volcano with a lid on it. There is fire boiling and raging just behind her lips but she is managing to keep it at bay. For now.
Like a steam engine, she heads to your direction at full speed. Ears hot. She steps in between you and the creep.
Target engaged: "Can you not see this person is clearly uncomfortable with how you have approached them? I suggest you apologise to them and then leave now before you find out the consequences to your actions." (She is definitely the most blunt out of all of them bahaha)
The creep just about nearly runs out of ther, not ever wanting to get in a fight with Noodle from Gorillaz. Noodle's rage dissipates before she turns to you. You catch the last bit of it simmering before her now gentle gaze.
She guides the two of you to a quiet spot away from any crowds or anymore creeps. This is where she pulls you into a warm embrace and comforts you until you are feeling better.
Russel:
In front of you, he does not give this creep the time of day. He wouldn't waste his breath on him. He only death stares the dude as he approaches you.
He sees you in distress, picks you up and carries you away from the situation. But as soon as you're in a much safer location, he lays a kiss on your forehead before making his way back to this creep.
Russel is gone for some time and you can only imagine what he (and Del) are getting up to. Upon his return, you ask what happened and Russel simply responds by saying he had 'words' with him.
The rest of the night, he takes you out for ice cream and/or for a drive around the block - anything to keep your mind off what happened.
When you get home, he makes your favourite drink and warms the bed before snuggling up with you while watching your favourite movie.

The sun dimly brightened your room, casting shadows on some objects. You could already hear a commotion downstairs. You just hoped and prayed to Satan Murdoc wasn't hitting 2-D. You hated when the pair would fight. Dee wouldn't even do anything, he'd just let Murdoc hit him until he was done.
You walked out of your bedroom, 2-D's door was wide open. "Hmm, guess he's up already?" you said, walking down the stairs. You walked to the kitchen opening the door. Upon entering, you saw 2-D cooking. If he was cooking who was fighting? "Moring Dee," you said, walking over to the fridge. "Morin Luv, I hope murdoc's yelling didn't wake ya." he responded, turning around to look at you. His black eyes dilated a bit before he turned around again.
"what was the yelling about anyway? I could hear it up in my room." you raised a question, opening the fridge door. Luckily you still had some chocolate milkshake for yesterday morning. "Murdoc and Rus are fightin', nothing big though." he sighed, taking a spatula from the holder. You came closer to see what he was cooking. Pancakes, he was making colored pancakes. The one he was currently making was pink, as the previous ones aside were blue, purple, and yellow.
"However, Yew know Murdoc. He'll fight just to fight, even if nothing happen' beforehand." 2-D acknowledged, flipping the sizzling pink dough. You took a drink from your milkshake, thinking about his words. He was being truthful. Murdoc would hit and punch Stuart for mistakes he made himself.
You sat at the kitchen table and watched the blue-haired boy cook. You loved his cooking, but he never ate his food or any food that you knew of. "Here yew go my lady." he chirped, sliding you the fresh pancakes. "I'm not gonna eat unless you do," you told him. 2-D eyes looked down for a minute as he stood in thought. It couldn't hurt. "Fine, I'll eat part of one." you smiled, and scooted over for him. “That's enough for me.”

Gorillaz With A Motherly SO (And Random Songs That Make Me Think Of Them)
Tumblr media
Noodle-
She is a sort of care taker herself so when she met you, she felt understood. 
You two spend so much time together that falling in love was bound to happen. 
Old Married couple energy but Cool Old Married Couple
Loves your cooking and will not be shy about letting you know.
You and her are always clung to each other.
LOVES when you do her hair.
She loves you so much and feels like she’ll always be taken care of and in turn, will take care of you. Even when you are a actual old couple.
Russel-
Kind of man to take knitting lessons with you. (He did)
Loves being doted on and doting on you.
Dream couple.
He is the cook and you’re the cleaner.
The only time Russel sings is when it’s in the kitchen with you while you’re doing dishes and he’s finishing dinner
You kiss his cheek as a sort of thank you.
Ace (I struggled here)-
Is surprised when you and him started dating.
Legit was that “I don’t know, I never thought I’d get this far.” Plankton meme (Heheh cause he’s green too, get it?)
You take care of him after he runs from his vandalism scenes, scraped knees, scratches on his arms and such.
Will sometimes take you for granted but the second you leave, he starts calling for you. (Poor boy)
2D-
Thinks he is the luckiest man on earth (and he is. Know your worth)
You make him a peppermint tea before he wakes up.
You just sit beside him and fiddle with his hair til he wakes up
He is pretty much your shadow. Always directly behind or beside you.
Is your number one helper. 
Pretty much your husband (on all levels except legal)
Writes you little love songs and will melt if you sing them with him
You’re his muse and he’s your artist.
Murdoc-
Was avoidant about your disposition at the start but he warmed up to you after a many quiet car rides from when you came to pick his drunk self up.
He makes your coffee because he is not a morning person but by the time he gets done clanging around the Winnebagos kitchenette, you’re up.
You and him take the romance movie cliche tub bath while drinking wine. (He was down to bump uglies but he got distracted making bubble beards with you. His was the best, he doesn’t care what you say)
Will immediately think he’s fucked up if you use his actual name
You and him have the same vibe as that retiree couple on vacay 
Despite your differences, you and him are the best match for each other.

𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲
↳ summary: the day that landed your coworker in the hospital, and a car in the side of a building
↳ warnings: some blood, mentions of alcohol, some hurt but everyone turns out okay, and murdoc being murdoc
↳ notes: had a close friend that knows nothing about gorillaz beta read this, and they convinced me to post it. enjoy. reblogs and comments are more than appreciated
↳ song: da funk—daft punk
masterlist | commissions | carrd
Business at Uncle Norm’s Organ Emporium had been steady that day.
You remember it being around three in the afternoon when your shift rounded its end. The busted heater of the store rattled with a wheeze as it desperately tried to stay on, and you reveled in the momentary relief it brought you from the cold weather. Customers shuffled amongst isles lined with various vinyl’s and cd’s, occasionally approaching you at the front desk to ask a question or secure their purchase. Only one or two complained about the mold in the corners of the room this time—an overall win for the day, you mused. 
“‘Ello.”
The small shop filled with a tinkling noise as the glass door to the outside swung open. A burst of cold air came with it, and the customers nearest the entrance bundled up tighter for the moment. You just exchanged a polite look with the newest addition to the store, eager to get off your feet and go home.
Stuart Pot’s green eyes flitted to you for a moment as he offered a small smile to accompany his hello. He took a moment to breathe in the warm air of the shop, no longer disrupted by the draft he had let in, before shedding his coat and starting forward. No doubt preparing himself for the beginning of his shift.
Stuart was a man that seemed to be all legs and no brain. Most people upon meeting him assumed he was stupid, walking all over him until he said something to make them think otherwise about their actions. You yourself wouldn’t have made much of him if he hadn’t struck up a conversation one day. Now, he was one of the only people you talked to on a regular basis. Pretty sad, considering he was just your coworker, but not at all unexpected for having just moved here.
You knew he liked roller skating and wanted to be a storm chaser as a kid. You knew he had a girlfriend that played guitar, and spent his spare time painting. And after one unforgettable day when you decided to bring your lunch in, you now knew his lips ballooned up when he ate pickles.
Stuart really wasn’t a difficult guy to get along with. And while your job wasn’t bad, it was always nice to have something of a friend to complain about it with.
“Afternoon.” You settled for nodding at him as he rounded the corner of the desk, pushing yourself out of the leaning position you had been in to allow him space behind the register. “It’s a real nasty one out there, yeah?”
“Only if yew don’t have a car.” Stuart, who had insisted you call him Stu for the past year now, shrugged. In truth, it wasn’t that he didn’t have a car, just that he didn’t know how to drive it. But that wasn’t anything important you needed to know.
You nodded in agreement as he panned away from you to clock in. At that moment across the store, a customer opened the door Stuart had just come from only to have the wind outside blow it closed right in their face. They took a moment to struggle with it before stumbling outside, looking displeased as they did so.
You made a face.
On a nearby chair hung your own scarf and jacket that you’d brought for the walk home. And while your feet hurt something awful, the thin layers you had brought in preparation of the temperature made you hesitate. Clearly you hadn’t thought long enough about how cold it would get. You sighed in defeat before turning back to Stuart.
“So, how have you been?”
The blue haired man blinked at your form leaning on the counter, no doubt wondering why you weren’t heading out. With a huff of air, you tossed the formalities in favor of a more straightforward conversation.
“It’s freezing out there.” You scrunched up your nose. “I don’t want to walk all the way through town in that just to get to my flat and find out my landlord forgot to fix the heat again. At least here has some warmth.”
“True.” Stuart’s voice cracked in its familiar fashion. Ever a man of few words, he just stood awkwardly, biting at a stray fingernail or two as a nasty habit. Thankfully the silence didn’t linger long before someone shuffled up to purchase a new set of guitar picks.
“Have you heard the new album that we got last week yet?” You mused after he was done ringing the fellow up, pushing yourself off and jumping over the front desk to point at a collection of records. “I thought it was pretty good, and it sounded like one of those underground bands you like to talk about.”
Stuart immediately perked up when you started talking about music; as he always did. It shouldn’t have surprised you, really, to work at a music shop with someone that was passionate about the art form. But with the way Stuart rambled on every now and then you’d think that that’s all he ever thought about.
Nimble fingers picked up the artists cover as Stuart turned it over to the description on the back. When you hadn’t been looking, he’d abandoned his post in favor of the possibility of a new song track, moving surprisingly quiet for someone of his height.
“Homework?” Stuart parroted the title back at you as he read through the track names. “Sounds funny.”
“Lot’s of people think the same thing about you.” You grinned with teeth, unaffected by his suspicion. Stuart just looked at you owlishly, letting a small gap toothed smile show as he caught onto the joke.
“‘S nawt my fault I got an accent.” He placed the album under his arm for later, no doubt going to utilize the employee discount you and him were so generously offered. “If anyfing you’re the weird one.”
You would have responded. In fact, your lips had already opened— ready to rebuke his claim —when a horrible screeching noise stopped you.
The front of the store exploded into a brilliant shower of glass mere seconds later. Shards glittering in the grey light from outside threw themselves at you, covering the skin along your arms and face with a tingly feeling. You barely had time to process a slow trickle of something warm making its way down your face before your body reacted for you. 
A poorly carpeted floor felt the weight of your backside as you fell back, bumping your head on a nearby table in the process. Somewhere a few feet away from you, you heard high pitched groaning that sounded faintly like Stuart’s voice, and a gleeful cackle that incited a splitting headache.
Faint sirens wailed in the background as you wobbly stood to your feet. The sight before you was much different than it had been a few moments ago. Pianos and cases of speakers that you had spent the better part of last week propping up were now in pieces. Some made sparking noises as they lay in disarray. You stared at them as your vision swam, not yet aware of the yelling figures around you or of the  small pool of blood collecting at your feet.
But the biggest change by far you noticed, was the giant car sticking through the front of the shop.
At the wheel was the source of the maniacal laughing. In the three seconds it took to give him a once over, you observed more details about the driver than you could ever want in your life.
He had olive toned skin that was lined with sparse scars. His teeth were yellowed and pointed in an unnatural manner, and his hair fell just about halfway over his eyes; which when he opened them you saw were two different colors. One black, and the other a faded pink. It didn’t take long for his gaze to land on you.
“Oi! Did you bloody see that!” He shouted with glee, apparently ignorant to the chaos he had caused. “Brilliant! Bloody brilliant! Can’t even say I’m sorry about the cuts, love.”
His gravelly tone did nothing to snap your brain out of the haze it was floating in. With a far away look, you stared straight through the driver.
Later you wouldn’t remember the way his eyes widened as you mumbled something with a frown before collapsing forward on the hood of his car, fading into a restless realm of black.
Tumblr media
You were fine.
Stuart Pot was fine. 
At least that’s what the tests said. 
Doctor after doctor had come in and out of your room with clipboards before they allowed you to even so much as get up. They’d given up on keeping you off your feet after you rolled out of bed as an act of defiance.
Everything was too white. Hospitals had always felt so artificial to you, so being stuck in one was nothing short of a nuisance. Beeping machines in your ear only proved to aggravate you further, testing your nerves. Thankfully, a nurse was sent in to discharge you, bringing news of only a few cuts they had disinfected, and some minor head trauma that should be okay as long as you kept an eye on it.
Now here you sat, just a few rooms over from the one you had just woken up in, sitting in a visitors chair next to your only friend.
Your only, catatonic, unresponsive friend.
Stuart’s hospital room was busier than yours. There were more machines, more i.v drips, and more nurse visits than yours had. It was to be expected, though. He had gotten hit with the car head on instead of just being near it, unlike you and the other spectators. The only thing keeping your stresses at bay was that his vitals were steady. 
Blue hair splayed itself all around his pillow like a halo as he lay almost peacefully. His chest was moving up and down at an even pace, the gap in his teeth making a whistling noise as he breathed. You would have felt more relieved about it all, if it wasn’t for his eye.
It was fucked. That was the simple way to put it. Completely and utterly fucked. Where a gaze of mossy green had been prior, there was now brilliant bloody red. The entirety of it had been consumed by an inky darkness, making it look like the appendage had just popped right on out of his face. You were unaware if Stuart could see you staring at him from time to time, but you figured if he could, all he would see was pain on your face. Pain, not at his appearance, but at the trauma that was sure to come from it when he woke up.
There had been a third party to visit Stuarts bed not too long ago, sporting sunglasses indoors and black lipstick, and proving to be a very useful distraction for you. You hadn’t recognized her at first until she rushed to Stuart’s bedside, clutching at his hand like it would somehow shock him back awake.
Paula Cracker was just as you remembered her; loud and unabashed. The one time she had come by the shop to pick up Stu on her way home hadn’t been particularly interesting, if the way she barely looked at you before screaming along to her radio said anything. Stuart had to assure you the next day that she didn’t mean any harm. She just wasn’t all for meeting new people. 
You had shaken your head at him and said nothing at the time.
But now, in the hospital, sitting by her boyfriend’s bed, Paula couldn’t seem to stop talking to you. She ran right into conversations like they were open doors, barely leaving any room for you to respond before barreling on. By the time she declared that she had to leave, no matter how much she apparently wished to stay, you had counted a total of ten words that you’d managed to get in. You offered her a short goodbye to match. She didn’t seem to notice.
You settled into a morose silence after that. Nurses stopped coming in, and you stopped waiting for something, anything at all, to happen. It was beginning to set in that Stu had been, to out it bluntly, run over, and wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon.
You had just begun to wonder if you should head home when the door knob to the room rattled, and opened harshly.
“Well this is bloody brilliant.”
The door to the hospital room, which you could have sworn Paula had just walked out of, swung open in a wide berth to reveal the very person that landed you in the hospital.
A quick glance at the clock let you know that Paula had been gone for almost two hours, leaving you to sit by yourself as Stu stayed put. 
“What are you doing here.” Your mouth moved before you could stop it, sentence slipping past your lips in a weak attempt to make sense of this unsettlingly human being.
He looked the very same as he had the last time the two of you met. Just this time with an upside down cross for a necklace, and less blood on his hands. Literally.
The stranger made his way over to you, flopping down in a visitor chair and lighting a cigarette with one very dented lighter. He smiled cruelly at you, showing off a familiar row of teeth. They were as pointed as you remembered.
“Charity.” He tacked on a weird laugh at the end through the stick in his mouth. Two fingers lifted to his lips to remove the cigarette, a thick plume of smoke coming with it. He blew it in your face, and if you hadn’t been so lost in thought, you might have hit him for it.
“You don’t seem the charitable type.” Once again, your words were getting ahead of you. But he didn’t seem to be offended at all. Rather, the man gave a bone chilling laugh that was ended with another drag of his fag.
“Court mandated.” He continued with a smirk.
“They already had you tried?”
“What can I say? The law works fast when it comes to Murdoc Niccals.” He shrugged, once again with that strange laugh of his that accompanied nearly everything he said.
You simply eyed him with a tired sort of caution, drinking in the new information like it could kill you at any second.
“What? Not going to share your name with me?” Murdoc sneered. “It’s only polite.”
“When it comes to you, I have a feeling manners don’t really apply.” You grumbled, but ended up sharing your name all the same. Murdoc nodded slowly in response. You saw his eyes flick you up and down a couple times— something that made you clench a fist —before they found their way over to Stu’s bed.
“Hafta take care of him for ten hours.” He continued to explain without a hint of regret for the individual. “Apparently knocking some scrub in the noggin’ is a crime.”
“I wonder why.” You responded dryly, scratching at the bottom of your right eye without thinking about it.
“Wish I’d hit someone better looking with my car.” Murdoc laughed with a not so subtle look to you. “Wouldn’t mind taking care of ‘em for a few hours.”
“You just crashed a car into the front of a building and nearly killed someone. I don’t think I’d trust you with as much as a dead fish, much less Stuart.” You crinkled your nose. ‘Or me,’ your brain silently added.
“Not much you or I can do ‘bout it now, love.” He took another smoke to punctuate his sentence. It left you with furrowed brows and downturned lips. Murdoc snickered at your expression.
“I mean, it wouldn’t that be hard to watch you.” 
“Didn’t know you were into that.” The man sported a shark’s grin, only dropping it when you made a fake vomiting noise.
“God no. I meant watch you while you take care of Stu. Make sure you don’t do anything to him.” 
“I’m hurt you think I’d do anything unethical to Steve.” He scoffed.
“Stuart.”
“Same thing.” He shrugged. You didn’t bother to correct him.
The two of you delved into an awkward pause that was timed by the ticking of the nearby wall clock. While you were busy thinking about what exactly you had just offered yourself up for, you could tell Murdoc was growing bored. You fell back on bouncing your leg as you analyzed him, the bottom half of your body attempting to get out all of the nervous energy you had been bottling up.
“Well—" Murdoc flicked a bit of ash off the butt of his cigarette, putting it out against the armrest of his chair. “—this was a joy, yeah? Let’s never do it again.”
You couldn’t help but mumble an agreement in his direction. He stood up with a twist of his back, letting out a satisfied sigh as it cracked.
“Guess I’ll see you soon, love.” Murdoc chuckled darkly while heading for the door. One leather clad boot was out the exit before he paused, necklace bouncing against his chest as he turned to look at you.
“Say. You don’t play any instruments, do you?” His eyes held an unreadable emotion.
“Uh, I dabble. Stu is more of the music guy than me.” You responded. “Why?”
But he was already gone, leaving you to wonder if he had never been there. But the ash on the chair next to you and the faint smell of booze in the air told you otherwise.
You let your head fall into the embrace of your hands as you groaned, massaging at your temples in an attempt to quell the pounding in your head.
“What have I gotten myself into.”

Hiii! I hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if I could request Gorillaz x Singer!S/O? Like, they have a solo career, and occasionally collab with the band? I hope you have a great day, and thank you for your time whether you write this or not!<3
Gorillaz with soloist Singer S/O
WRITERS NOTE: Thank you so much, i hope you have a great day as well. Sorry about the bad grammar, my mod at the time is not active and sorry if I got to off track with the headcanons. Either way- I am so excited for my first request!
All art on this post is mine
Edited: At this time no, but will hopefully will be later
TW: Curssing, Drinking, Trama, Voilence, if I missed any tell me please and I will add it
Characters:
/Gorillaz/
Murdoc
Tumblr media
Murdoc straight up jokes about you replacing 2D(often right in front of 2D). And sometimes it doesn't feel like hes jokeing even if he is
He likes to chill back stage with you- which he expects automatically that he gets to be in the back because he's his S/O's boyfriend and because he's the leader of the greatest band ever- his words not mine
If/When you collab he was iffy on wether he wanted you to duet with 2D at first because he's a bit jealous
But he can't argue with what sounds good, and the voice of his amazing S/O, and the voice of the singer in HIS BAND is something that is he needs for his next album
Murdoc will always talk about how he could go solo too if he wanted to, once he learned his S/O was a solo act
If he drinks too much when you guys are hanging out he will start singing himself, and encouraging his S/O to sing with him
When recording he will give you as nice of criticism as he can if your not hitting the right notes or arn't in the right pitch- but satan forbit one of the others try to give you constructive criticism, especially 2D
Whenever he has nightmares about his childhood and his dad, and his S/O's around he finds it comforting if his S/O hummed to him but he won't ask you to hum to him though because he's scared that you'ed think he's weak
And if your not around when he's haveing a nightmare, he'll listen to one of your songs to calm himself down
If his S/O's a smaller and less well known singer- he will often tells his S/O how he can hook them up with good produser(even if S/O already has one) and anything that you as a smaller creator may not have access to, and will promote you sometimes like on an interview
And even if you are just as popular he can be a bit stuck up and will be like 'Yeah but, Gorillaz is little bit more popular'
Murdoc has mentioned before that he's glad that your a soloist, because he would feel bad for your band mates because of how bad you would out shine them
He wants to lay his head on you, and let you sing to him but he's to nervous
"Dove you have quite the voice, I'd love to have you on my next album."
Noodle
Tumblr media
Noodle is can be quite the extrovert, so she would love to go out and do karaoke with her S/O
Noodle was so excited when it was decided that her S/O and Gorillaz was going to collab, cuz it means being with her adopted family and her lover at the same time- she was just so happy to have the people she loved most in the same room
She almost tears up duing a live performance collab because everthing feels so perfect and amazing at that point in time she can't help be a bit emotional
Noodle will travel the world to see her S/O preform at concerts
She would be absolutely in love if her S/O could sing in different languages
She has all your albums, murch- everything
Noodle would be delited to help write your songs
ANY ONE WHO CRITICIZES HER S/O'S MUSIC WILL FACE HER WRATH, it doesn't matter if she likes the kind of music her S/O makes she will beat the shit out of anyone who is rude
She is your personal body guard, like why would you need a body guard when you have a Noodle
She introduced you to 2D and Russel before the collab because her S/O and 2D are both singers and she thought 2D needed a singer friend that wasn't connected through work, and Russel is her dad who did the most parenting so it was like a meet the parent situation Sorry Mudoc :/
She will ask her S/O to sing to her somtimes, most often when you two are alone
Noodle has a LOT of respect for her S/O because managing a music career by yourself can be quite hard, especially to her because she grew up in a band with other people so she could never imagine doing it alone
She like catching her S/O singing to themself when they are alone, because she loves to see her S/O flustered, and if you don't get flustered she still likes to see them surprised to see her
"Hey S/O, about our date- I was thinking.... karaoke!"
2D
Tumblr media
2D is ecstatic to have a S/O that is also a singer
He is just so happy to have someone to relate to
Before 2D even starts dating his S/O(like in crush faze) he would have already asked S/O to do a collab as a way to get closer with them
Like Noodle, 2D owns a lot of his S/O's merchandise not as much as her but still a lot
He likes to atend his S/O's concerts but prefers to watch back stage because while he loves his fans and fan interactions he also hates the idea of taking attention away from his S/O at his S/O's concert, and due to his very recognizable appearance he is likely going to draw attention to himself in a crowd of people
2D will blab to anyone who will listen about his S/O and their solo career as a singer, this is the case often in interviews where the interviewers ask about y'alls relationship
When talking with his S/O and his S/O's career as a singer he has forgoten he was a singer himself
2D tends subconsciously sing or hum to himself, and if his S/O joined him in his little tune he would melt into putty- though it would take him a hot second to realize that they where singing with them
He's fascinated by the fact that his S/O's are a solo singer, and often asks you about it, though he often gets off track with his questions
PLEASE write a love song about him, if you do his heart will die of happiness
When it comes time for the collaboration 2D gets distracted constantly, by his S/O, and their voice specifically
While 2D getting distracted in the studio isn't new, but him getting distracted while recording is, as he tends to hyperfixate on singing when recording- but now half way through the lyrics he just slowly stops and stares at his S/O like nothing else in the world exists- with a goofy euphoric grin on his face, and when S/O stops cuz he stoped he'll mutter out praise about S/O's voice/singing Much to the others dissmay
"Wow... ya have such'a pretty voice luv"
Russel
Tumblr media
Russel is a very supportive boyfriend
Out of all of the band mates he's the one that doesn't mind watching from the crowd the most- but much like 2D he doesn't like taking attention away from his S/O
If you show him the lyrics to a song you are working on he likes to suggest beats that might sound good with it
While Russel was happy to collaborate with his S/O, he's the least thrilled about it in the group- as he likes to balance his work life and home life as much as he can even though its really hard to so bring his love life into work life isn't exactly thrilling for him I mean did you see how it worked out for 2D
Russel is also the most professional when it comes time to collaborate with his S/O, like I said he tries to separate home life and work life and he does this by acting professional and trying to ignore the fact he is dating the person he is working with
Whenever the bands on tour and he misses his S/O he likes to listen to S/O's music even if it's not his type of music, but he usually won't really listen to the collab music at that time because it only makes him think of work(also no one but Noodle knows he does this)
And to add on to him and his S/O's music, Russel likes to suggest his S/O's music but he's very sublet about it
Besides actually collaborating as a work thing, he likes to help his S/O with their songs, whether it be helping with lyrics, what instruments to use, or with beats- though he rarely does this as he is usually he is exhausted with making music from work
He's overall just really chill about it in general, he's doesn't mind that your a soloist, and out of everyone he's the most neutral in that category
Though Russel sometimes jokes about how he's jealous that you don't have to deal with band mates and that he wishes he was a solo act or that he was in a band with his S/O instead
I mean Russel loves his band mates but sometimes they can be down right obnoxious *cough* 2D *cough* Murdoc
Also Russel likes helping his S/O pick out their stage outfit/make up for live performances and/or music videos
"Look'in and sound'en great hun."
