2-D (Gorillaz)

You’d always been a bit of a… background character when you joined Gorillaz. You played electric guitar, and sometimes piano when needed. You were never really that dramatic or problematic.

Russel deeply appreciated how calm and usually collected you were. But it’s hard for him to say anything when somebody is always doing… something for him to manage or correct.

Noodle and you were close, even as a child there was a thick language barrier between Japanese and English. She knew a little English, and you learned a bit of Japanes. She appreciated that more then she ever lets on.

Murdoc was… complex, as we know. He’d always been a bit hard to get along with, but you’d never make it hard for him. You were that type of person who let him flirt, or insult you just for the hell of it. 9/10 times he never ment it. So, you tried not to take to heart. He liked that. You’re the closest thing to a “friend.” He‘ll EVER admit to having.

then comes 2-D… 2-D had been a bit awkward, two introverts don’t make an extrovert. Well, he was out when he wanted to be. but you… were quite hard to be around for someone like him. He could be a bit self centered accidentally, and you’d never correct him. You were an “ablest” for bad and slightly toxic behavior for people like him & Murdoc.

Now, for the scene...

it had been a late night at Kong Studios. Russel and Noodle have noticed you’ve been … quieter. And that’s saying something. You’d been more defensive. craving privacy. secret being you had been trying to fit into that picture perfect idol figure. as of late, the internet had been getting to you. You’d done your research and asked random people, after being told too many times to tell 988, you’d decided that it was useless.

You’d tried something you’d seen online, mixing too much salt with water and drinking it. It made you vomit. You noticed that made you thinner, so you became addicted to it.

aside from your past with the band, having been caught more then one time trying su1cide and s3lf harming, this was new. And they didn’t know that was to look out for.

Youd become tired. Too tired to enable 2-D’s ego. Too tired to give Murdoc that stupid bickering he loved. Too tired to even talk to Russel or Noodle anymore.

You still played your guitar, yeah, but you’d rehearse, play a few songs, then when it was over, disappear into your room until the next day’s rehearsal.

Heres the thing with 2-D, he’s not the most innocent. You know that. Everyone does. And as much as you hated to hear this, he liked that you were so thin your rib cage showed. He didnt know that was unhealthy… he had developed a “crush” on the image of your body and how you fed his ego with whatever energy you had left. Which is why, you can imagine, he didn’t like when you went radio silent.
