#daddy noel

[lily-bluey]

Rock superstar Noel Gallagher says fatherhood has been one of the greatest joys of his life, despite having doubts about his ability to be a good dad.

His own childhood was marred by an abusive, alcoholic Irish father who beat him and was physically violent towards his mother, Peggy, before she left him.

Prior to the split, Noel and his older brother, Paul, were reportedly so scared of their Meath-born father, Tommy that they developed a stammer.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday World, Noel, who turned 56 yesterday and is set to release a new album next Friday, says: 

“It [fatherhood] wasn’t one of the things in life I particularly thought I would be cut out for. To be a dad as a rock star is a lot easier than when you’re working on a building site and all that, but, yeah, watching the kids grow up has been one of the great pleasures of life."

So, despite keeping them out of the limelight, does he feel that growing up with a famous father is difficult for them?

“It’s not something they’ll ever be able to judge because that’s what they were born into,” Noel tells me. “But if they think it’s difficult having a rock star for a dad they might try and swap it and have my dad as a dad. And I can assure them that the way I was brought up they’d rather me as their father than my old fella as their dad, that’s for sure.”

However, Noel does have concerns for his children having to navigate a more complicated world today, compared to the simple times he grew up in.

“I really feel for my two teenage boys,” he reveals. “Life is very, very complicated for them. They’ve grown up with the internet and all the f**king nonsense that that brings.

“When I tell them tales about when we were growing up they think it’s boring. But I can assure them that they’d rather have boring than the complicated bullshit world they live in.

“I worry…I think it’s tough for young boys particularly these days. My only worry is that they won’t have an idea about what they want to do with their life. I think half the battle in life is to realise what it is you want to do. Then it’s just a case of going out and trying to get it.

“These days they have so much choice their f**kin’ heads are fried. At 16 they don’t know where they’re going, whereas when we were growing up it was very simple and regimented and there’s a lot to be said for that.”

Noel’s childhood involved trips to his mother Peggy’s family home in Charlestown, Co Mayo.

“We went to Mayo for every school holiday, so we went for Easter, summer and Christmas. Summer holidays were always the best… six weeks, that’s when summer was proper summer.”

Mayo is still close to his heart? “Yeah, of course,” he says. “I’ve got an Irish passport and it’s a big part of who we are. Outside of school growing up we didn’t really know that many English people. Because my mum was from such a big family and they pretty much all moved to Manchester there was a lot of cousins and aunties and uncles, so it was a very self-contained circle growing up.”

Noel was reared on a sprawling council estate in Manchester, which inspires his latest single and reflective album, Council Skies.

The Manchester council estate is light years away from rural Ireland?

“Yeah, but there were as many characters, although it was fairly grey and full of concrete,” Noel responds. “But there was as many characters on the council estate as you find in Charlestown in the pubs, for sure.”

His mother, Peggy, still lives in the same council house where she reared her three sons, having refused their offer to buy her a home in a more exclusive area.

“She’s got seven sisters, four of which live in Manchester, and they all live around the same housing estate, so they see each other every day,” Noel reveals. “She’s not interested in moving anywhere. She lives in this tiny little house where we were all brought up in and she’s f**kin’ happy as Larry.”

Has she been left alone? “Some of the guys that we knew when we were growing up, they kind of look out for her,” he says.

“They make sure she’s alright. She does get bothered from time to time, but on the whole she does pretty well.

“She gave birth to these two sons who went on and did what they did — that’s the story of her life as well as the story of mine and Liam’s life.”

Is she amazed by it? “She would never say one way or the other. This is her stock line: ‘Sure as long as you’re enjoyin’ yourself.’”

I tell Noel about meeting Peggy at Slane Castle in 2009 when Oasis were the headline act, and jokingly asking her: “Would you not sort out those two fellas?” referring to the on-going battle between her sons that continues to this day.

Peggy laughed that day, saying: “Oh sure they don’t listen to me.”

Noel laughs: “No, we didn’t listen to her then and we won’t be listening to her now, either.”

massacre anniversary / father's day

[read more here because it's long due to the amount of images - you'll have to click on the images to view them in full due to diff aspect ratios]

ashe is the only one who cares about father's day

bonus

Notes:

thIS TOOK SO FUCKING LONGGGGG this is more low quality than most of my recent art because i had a LOT to draw and i wanted to finish it today and i knew if i did regular quality i would not have finished it. i initally thought i'd block out single colors for each character and their dialogue boxes at first but i'm not sure if i would've gotten it done today if i did + i'm tired. so a lot of the expressions/composition/etc looks really goofy

this is what the "can someone send me a screenshot of when the massacre happened i have a drawing i want to make and whether or not the massacre happened on that day will affect it" post was about. i just find it exceedingly funny that june 16th is father's day this year and also the day nicholas died. i remember having ideas for a father's day drawing a couple days ago and then looked up the date and saw it was june 16th and was like "holy shit?!?"

i have this headcanon sirius does not remember his parents very well (except for their death which he remembers vividly)

i remember seeing a post saying "rich kids when they say 'father'" and i have no idea who posted it but all i could think of was noel (this isn't a note it's just something funny and relevant)

i know ashe at least in some timelines knows nicholas is noel's father who died on this day and in those timelines he probably wouldn't ask him about father's day but this is already canon breaking since it's in june so let's say this is a timeline where ashe never found that out

“And for whatever reason," he decides, "the only two people out of the circle of friends we all had in the 1990s who have never been in rehab are me and Liam. Out of all those hardcore drug-takers and drinkers. That, I think, retains its own aura of invincibility. I feel quite proud about that. I don't need to sit in a darkened room and pay some geezer four grand an hour to tell me things I already know about myself. So let's go waaaaay back to your childhood.' Er, no, actually I wouldn't mind stopping taking drugs, forget my dad, it's nothing to do with my dad, how do I just stop? I think people just get swept up with being in London, it's all very airy-fairy down here and people talk a lot of fanny."

*pushes you up agaisnt the wall* actually i DO have a father, i even live with him! *punches you* cant say the same to you! what are you gonna do go cry to daddy? OH WAIT YOU CANT >:)

(HELPPP THE ATTACHED IMAGE. Also this shit gets intense, you've been warned. Reference to this ask)

The expression cards in his hand clatter to the ground as your fist collides with his body. Without them, even his doe eyes appear dead and cold, as if marbles were fixed into his skull instead of eyeballs. His lack of expression underneath only adds to your growing dread, but despite how blank he looks, you can still tell he's angry.

"You wanna run that by me again, bastard?" More than anything, his eyes now resemble dark pits, his irises swirled with an empty sort of mania as he grabs you by the shirt. "What kind of weakling cries about shit to their father anyway? I almost feel bad for your dad, housing such a sorry excuse of a bastard kid. I'd be doing him a favor by putting you down."
