Why was the last thread deleted?
>>3914258Mods purged the board by accident
>>3914317LOL what the fuck. I didn't save everything in the last thread, I'm so mad...
>>3914319I only saved the 2D's
>>3914323Understandable.
>>3914324You could try giving the archive a shot, but it's so overrun with spam and popups, it's difficult to even navigate
>>3914326The only one I know of is archive.moe, is there one I don't know about that actually saves the images?
>>3914329BasedLiving with Murdoc would be like the Trip&Virus route, huh
>>3914330It's just that one, but I swear I was able to access and save art on that archive once
>>3914334The image server was based on fireden but everything was shut down thanks to the imgur debacle. So now all those images are lost. Really sucks.
>>3914338>imgur debaclequick rundown?
>>3914444The archives got their images wiped because Imgur (where the majority of them were hosted) changed their policies (gay)So now there's no rude content allowed and lo-and-behold all the images were taken down. And it's really sad because that is how I saved most of the really good images from /cm/ that I have.
For the Anon who asked for the source of this picture in the purged thread, here you go. https://x.com/kumobabe/status/1721923754903937113
god I love him
>>3915239He'd make the loveliest wife.
he needs to do this more
Sometimes I feel nostalgic for the Song Machine era even though the rollout was a disaster
>>3915748It was a disaster?
>>3915748The album itself is good though.
Feel like pure shit just want him back x
>>3916916I love him
>>3916916Hewlett and Albarn don't get enough credit for accidentally creating the perfect example of gap moe
What did he mean by this
>>3915806Delayed music video releases, failed reddit Q&As, the Valley of the Pagans video having to be re-edited because Rockstar Games hadn't actually allowed them to use GTA for the video... The album is good but that era was a bit of a mess
>>3917282oh man, i had completely forgotten all that. it really was messy. one thing i remember is the official lyric videos having so many of the lyrics wrong. still a nice album
>>3917372All in all, I definitely miss the art from that era. This one and 2D and Murdoc in David Bowie's outfits are some of my all time favourites
>>3917523Wish they'd stop being coy and just admit Murdoc and 2D are fucking already
>>3917543You and me both anon
What are your favourite 2doc fanfics?
>>3920653The ones I write. :)
>>3920953Who are you on ao3?
>>3921004I don't have one...
fuck
>>3914325Why is he so cute
I really hope we get at least a single next year
>>3917282You can argue messes from Plastic Beach on. They've always had an organization issue from early on.
>>3923691Yeah that is true, the Plastic Beach era itself is also a result of many fuck ups
>>3923816I'm upset that the online game was left unfinished and there's not even any archive of it available because of how they set up the website.
>>3924074I love this artist.
Hong Kong is their best song.
>>3924421Désolé is peak modern Gorillaz
>>3925578The Lost Chord clears
>>3925580Cute boy!!!
>>3931136I adore him
>takes it in the ass
>>3934700Thank god someone is talking some sense. Nice dubs.>captcha: >JA 2DNAlso, this pic is fanart for a fic that was posted more than 13 years ago on livejournal, anyone recognize it?
>>3934725I have the higher-res version, not sure who the artist is though.
>>3934980I think they drew this too. They also drew a pic from the fic of Murdoc spooning 2-D from behind in the Winny that was really good, wondering if anyone has ever seen art? That fic is like my white whale in terms of finding it, some anon found it for me on /y/ like, 7 years ago and now it's just my fucking fault I lost it.
>>3935037Damn I wish I knew Anon. Hopefully we have some oldfags still lurking here to help ya out.
I miss the PB era.
lucky sod
Are they canon
I hate how hot I find Phase 1 and 2 Murdoc. He’s so nasty and gross, but there’s something so attractive about his unhinged horny energy.
>>3936326Phase 1, 2 and 3 Murdoc is Absolute Cinema of hot men. Ace is really up there too, I always liked him in PPG.
Time to get festive and freaky

>>3935269More like they're lucky to get 2D
>>3936676They can't get 2D, he's mine.
Anyone know if there's an archive of this artist's stuff?
>>3937176That's Snickerdooble, isn't it? Their tumblr's still up, but I don't see that image there. Maybe they posted it on twitter?https://snickerdooble.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/gorillaz
>>3935037Something about your story is triggering my memory. I don't know if I was the one who tracked it down or not, but I remember reading it around TNN era. Do you remember it's name?Here's the pic you're probably thinking of.>>3920653Yearz by ElapsedSpiral is one of my all-time favorite fics, but be warned that 2D is very and intentionally OOC. I also really loved Cruel World by latinsimona, although I haven't read it in a good 7 years.
Will we get a new album this year?
>>3940914Forgot pic
Anon, I'm really trying for you. I found the source of your pictures. bawdyandimproper is the tumblr account where they were originally posted, and they do confirm that the pictures were drawn for a fic, but they don't say what the name is. The tumblr account has been flagged as mature, so you can only view it on mobile. It looks like the artist created a second account called pragmaticinsanity where they have also posted Gorillaz art, including the picture here>>3935037. Pic related is part one of >>3934980, and it has what I assume is a quote from the fic, but it's not getting me any results. Cryptically, the only comment on these images says "I can remember that kissing scene from Lovely Complex". I assume they are talking about the anime, not the fic, but I've never watched Lovely Complex. It's not getting me any results for a Gorillaz fic.https://bawdyandimproper.tumblr.comhttps://pragmaticinsanity.tumblr.com
>>3940923I think it's very likely that the artist pragmaticinsanity originally posted these on their deviantart account, not tumblr, but it appears that they have scrubbed their DA of all fanart. There are still Gorillaz accounts following them, so they have probably posted Gorillaz art there in the past. The original DA post probably said what fic it was meant to be for, but the Wayback Machine didn't capture much.According to their tumblr, pic related was also for the same fic.
Nevermind, I should have just read their asks.The artist had an older DA account called crackcat911 where they first posted these images. They linked the fic in the comments, but the LJ account has been deleted. The title is "Everything You Are" by Veilluse. I'm sorry, but the Wayback Machine didn't save everything.Parts 1 and 2: I can't find a direct link to check the archivePart 3: Not archivedPart 4: http://web.archive.org/web/20091011213413/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/375914.html#cutid1Part 5: http://web.archive.org/web/20091011213417/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/376422.html#cutid1Part 6: http://web.archive.org/web/20091012063843/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/377489.html#cutid1Part 7.1: http://web.archive.org/web/20091014040543/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/377920.htmlPart 7.2: http://web.archive.org/web/20091011131147/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/378206.html#cutid1Part 8.1: Not archivedPart 8.2: http://web.archive.org/web/20091010184928/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/379450.html#cutid1Part 9.1: http://web.archive.org/web/20091013011604/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/379797.html#cutid1Part 9.2: http://web.archive.org/web/20091012143918/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/380124.html#cutid1Pic related is the same artist, but not for this fic. Merry late Christmas.
>>3940912>>3940923>>3940924>>3940932Anon holy shit this it it, you are incredible. And yes, crackcat911 was the artist. You are damn good. Yes, ti was posted originally on LiveJournal on a gorillaz shipping blog. God damn, thank you so much! The sex scene is amazing in this fic, hopefully I'm not wearing nostalgia glasses when saying that.
>>3941324Glad to help! I enjoy trying to track down old fan content. I'm just sorry that it's incomplete. There may have been more chapters after 9, but I also could not find any more direct links to check the archive with. The captured page where I pulled all of these links from is below, if you wanted to try and sleuth a few more chapters out of it.http://web.archive.org/web/20091009184107/http://community.livejournal.com/gorillazslash/tag/murdocThere is also a subreddit dedicated to finding deleted fanfiction. You should be able to post this information there to see if anyone has the completed fic.From the small amount of it I read, the writing style seemed very good. I really like 2000s era fanfiction, and I think a lot of newer fans in older fandoms are too quick to write off anything written pre-AO3. It's so frustrating that the author only posted it on LiveJournal, and not some place better for archival. Never forget that everything not saved will be lost.Also, the sketchy style of crackcat's old drawings is really charming, but it's incredible to see how much they improved over time.
