Me first learning about Gorillaz band members: man Murdoc sounds like a real piece of work, I’ll be hard-pressed to find anything about him that I like

Murdoc: has a pet raven

My bird loving ass:

#my weakness #my achilles heel #gorillaz #murdoc niccals #monkey band #trash talk #apparently he doesn’t have Cortez anymore which makes me sad #but to my understanding he loved Cortez

[snobgoblin]

random Gorillaz fact #13: Cortez the Raven has known Murdoc since infancy, and while nobody knows his motivation for sticking around for so long, it is commonly believed that Cortez is of supernatural origin because of his red eyes, long lifespan, and mysterious nature

#gorillaz #gorillaz random fact #also Murdoc nearly accidentally baked him alive once #murdoc niccals #murdoc gorillaz #cortez the raven #oh yeah and im p sure he sung in O Green World

[manresearch]

So does anyone actually know who the voice saying "you are now entering the harmonic realm" on the Demon Days intro is?? I always thought it was Murdoc but could never find concrete proof

#if its mentioned anywhere lmk?? #if it is him its insane they credit him for singing on white light and cortez on o green world #but theres no mention of his actual voice in the intro LMAO #mine #gorillaz #murdoc

[euos-the-cat]

how do you think Cortez is dealing with the kiddos

.. uhm

#ask euos #gorillaz #uhh.. cortez is... on a farm #yeah #was totally not accidentally microwaved by Murdoc #(like for actual real I'm not making that up.. if cortez wasn't on a farm that is) #actually he escaped #i have no idea then

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

🤲 spare Murdoc headcanons lad

Thank you

I think he’s half Mexican on his mom’s side because of Mexico and the Spanish language being a common motif in his lore

Has a stomach of steel from having to eat really gross and/or unconventional things a lot, from living in poverty as a kid and also all the prison and isolation and benders and whatnot. However he is severely lactose intolerant and probably has celiac

Part of the reason he’s so unhygienic now is because he was never taught how to take care of himself and his dad never provided him with the means to do so (didn’t buy soap or toothbrushes or anything) so he just never learned

For some reason I don’t think he has a gag reflex. He just has the vibe

He talks to Moonflower’s ashes sometimes

He likes to dance with them too; like actually ballroom dance with them (probably to nine inch nails or AC/DC or something but who cares)

He has breathing problems from his nose being broken; his nose whistles a lot, especially when he’s sleeping. It’s also why he snores so loud

Gets a lot of nightmares :(

Can actually hold his own pretty well in a fist fight

Despite bathing extensively, he has a hard time not smelling bad. Put that boy through the car wash

Can tolerate Russel’s cooking better than most, considering his average meal is cigarette ash soaked in rubbing alcohol

Technically a doctor and is very knowledgeable and surprisingly competent; however he doesn’t know the name of anything and just knows how it works. “Looks like that dangly bit and the big wiggly bollocks in back are a bit buggered, yeah…” (you have swollen tonsils)

His love language is gift giving and although he won’t admit it physical touch. He is a small burrowing animal that seeks shelter in Big Strong Arms

Allow me to self indulge a little bit: if he wants a hug he’ll do that thing where he walks up and just kinda stands there avoiding eye contact and getting increasingly frustrated until you do what he wants

As much as he is self-aggrandizing, if you give him a personal compliment he will not know how to handle it. If you give him any sort of meaningful affection, especially through words, he will either pop a boner or cry (most likely both)

Cortez picks up little shiny gifts for him. Murdoc gives him random things he finds like bottle caps and cool rocks in return. Overall treats him like his little man

Also collects Cortez’s feathers

Murdoc also gives random things to the rest of the band (evidence: him giving 2D the petrified poop)

Keeps that portrait of his dad to compare how much like him he’s become as kind of a self-destructive self-assessment.

Would go to extreme lengths to entertain Noodle when she was a kid (use your imagination)

Collects 2D’s hairs because he thinks they’re pretty (also for spells)

Ace probably taught him how to bully children; he takes the art of child endangerment very seriously

Do you have any cute headcanons for Cortez and Murdoc?

Perhaps...lmao.

Tbh, I genuinely believe Cortez, at his baseline, is cranky and unpleasant to be around. After all, his big bonding moment with Murdoc was giving him poison berries or something, iirc. He's mean to everyone, but mean to Murdoc a little less.

That being said, I stand by my long-term hc (as seen in TA) that Cortez is there to look out for Murdoc, and he'll never truly abandon him for that reason. Does he leave for extended periods of time? Yes, but they have an understanding that he'll always come back or show up when he's needed. Sometimes Murdoc leaves the window open for him if the weather is nice, other times he'll peck at the window until someone open it. Generally, the band waits for Murdoc to do this because Cortez is so finicky and hates it when it's anyone other than Murdoc, but obvi this doesn't always work out.

Idk if it's still a common hc, but one that used to be widely held was that Murdoc collects stuff - coins, armor/weapons, books. I like to think he's interested in history and antiques. So, to build off of that, in my head, Cortez is responsible for the expansion of Murdoc's various collections because of how often he gifts him objects he find on his travels. This is how he shows his affection.

I also think Cortez is supernatural in some way rather than a regular raven. In my hc, he was the same raven that's pictured on Murdoc's carriage in ROTO. So Murdoc (or anyone) can't ever really "kill" him, be it on purpose or, in Murdoc's case lmao, by accident. But the details of what exactly Cortez is, is a mystery.

[gorillaztublr]

2d, what would happen if you rested your head on top of murdoc's and hugged him from behind?

2D: hes smoking on the balcony right now. Cortez is out with him, hopefully he doesn't ruin the surprise. I'll get back to you on that

Hi. I made a thing.

A Gorillaz OC, precisely.

Here we go.

Name: Sage Blackwood

Age: 27

Pronouns: They/them

Sexuality: Pan

Occupation: Student and researcher

About:

• Literature student- yep. Still studying. That's the only thing they're actually good at.- and sort of a writer, way too curious for their own good. Constantly reading and learning random -and probably useless, at least for them- stuff

• Crossed paths with Murdoc Niccals while giving crumbs to some ravens in a park and started talking to him after noticing he'd been standing there for a while, laughing at how hard they were trying to befriend the birds

• "C'mon, they're so majestic! Did you know they can remember faces? They've got episodic memory!"

• Started sharing interesting facts

• Murdoc just kept laughing and sat next to them, "Yeah, yeah, I know all'at already"

• Then he told them about Cortez

• And, well, that's how they bonded. Talking about birds.

• Later on, Murdoc noticed they were always at that park, every fucking day

• And he knew that because he'd started to be sure to walk through it more, just to see what the hell they were up to

• One day it was reading, the other laying on the bench with headphones on and humming songs, sometimes they rambled about some stressful classes they had to take or a new recipe they'd tried at home

• "The hell are ya doing always here?"

"It's peaceful. Not so many people come and the few that do are always quiet. I like it."

• Once they showed up with a fucking guitar

• Said they had seen an ad of guitar lessons and since their dad used to play it but never taught them, it was a chance to give it a go

• They'd bought a very pretty classic guitar, of a cherry colour, and wanted to show it to him

• Murdoc became suddenly way too interested, but because of a single particular: they didn't asked HIM to teach them.

• He was dramatically offended

• "Who's that? Is he a professional? Bet he's not. Is he in a band?"

"I think he's just a guy."

"A GUY. Well, you don't know him."

• They went like this for a while, until Sage shoved the guitar against Murdoc and said "Go on, then! You do it!"

• He grabbed it and glared at them, "I'll do it and I'll show ya the difference between an amateur and a fucking master!"

• They let out a laugh, "Yeah, whatever, master."

• And so that's how they started to hang out more frequently.

this is less "I think this is true" and more "i think it would be cool" but I think. what if the Boogeyman and Cortez were one in the same

it's stated that the Boogeyman accompanies all of Murdocs lives. and what do people theorize because of the Raven in Murdocs baby photo and Cortez's long life span? that Cortez is also immortal. and that he may accompany all of Murdocs lives. not to mention, their color pallets are largely black with red eyes, and the Boogeymans nose is shaped like Cortez's beak......
