#cuz he was known as the prettyboy and he’s not willing to let it go now

[pissjesus]

I think 2D has always been sort of a little bastard, but I also think Murdoc probably had an influence on him. He made him worse 💔. I wonder how 2D would have turned out if he hadn’t met him… 2D looking up to Murdoc (or at least that he used to) is really interesting. I definitely think he started going after other people’s girlfriends just because Murdoc does. What’s your thoughts? I’ve been thinking about this all day 😵‍💫

I love that 2D is a sweet boy at heart with bastard tendencies (for seasoning). He’s gotta be enough of a douche to hang out with Murdoc, and I think Murdoc definitely had a lot of influence in shaping him.

I actually think 2D was the only one with a chance of a normal life before Murdoc showed up. Or at least, he strikes me as someone who would’ve been happy with a menial job, exploring hobbies without worrying about doing something important.

Music, for him, is something he just has to do to express himself and he plays around until he works something out, and doesn’t seem to worry too much about whether or not it’s the greatest thing ever made. For example, The Fall was just a tour diary he made because he wanted to and it didn’t seem to matter all that much to him if it was successful. By contrast, Russel and Noodle describe the way they work with a lot of intent, using very intentional samples and looking at history and genre, very purposefully combining elements for a desired effect, constructing narratives through the track order. (Murdoc claims he makes music to make money and get pussy but that’s probably to cover the risk of vulnerability, we’ll get into that another time). All this to say if he didn’t meet Murdoc he probably still would have made a fulfilling space for himself in the world. However, once the band was his life, there would be no going back, I don’t think he’d be satisfied doing anything else now, and that’s why he keeps doing it no matter what.

As for him going after other peoples girlfriends, I’d actually buy that it’s just his luck women flock to him in spite of their boyfriends cuz he’s just so charming. He didn’t know they had boyfriends (but he also didn’t ask 😗). Idk, he just doesn’t seem *that* malicious as to do it on purpose. Maybe for the occasional ego trip, but it’d be kinda fruitless to enact the same thing Murdoc did to him on people that have nothing to do with it. I suppose for 2D, it’s willful ignorance

Oh and you KNOW milfs would love him too. I guess he could’ve make an alternate career as a sugar baby. Might be too late now though 😔
