“…a good-looking boy…he was going to be a style icon and I thought I'm going to be with him so it's going to be cool”

noel living vicariously through liam yes, noel preoccupied with his brother not facing the same shortcomings as him yes, but also. he just thinks his little brother is cool! literally no one thinks their little brother is cool so this sentiment ^ he expresses very often in different ways (usually mixed with musings about liam’s beauty) is such a testament to his romantic adoration of liam. he was and still is so tickled to have a beautiful exciting supercool heartbreaker as his forever +1. i know ive said this before!! but i cant enough of noel having the world’s biggest crush on liam

I was a bit concerned about Liam at the time (...) He was a good-looking boy and if he wore a binbag on his head it would have looked cool. He was going to be a style icon and I thought I'm going to be with him so it's going to be cool.

The Uncle joke 💀💀💀

This screenshot remains a mystery. (Liam posted the text exchange between Noel and Anais on 20 April 2018, then deleted it.)

Who sent it to Liam, and why he posted it a year later, remain unknown.

2017 to 2019 was such a dark time. 💀💀💀

Still trying to wrap my head round Noel and Liam psycho/sexual dynamics. And it got me thinking.

Because you’ve got some ppl who are all control freak in everyday life and then in bed are…also control freaks. Everywhere. They don’t get off on an inversion of what they are in everyday life. For them, their preference is simply a continuation of what they are; there’s a consistency, a through-line. The passive ppl who are also passive in bed. I’ll call these The Consistents.

Then, there are The Inverters. For them, things get turned upside down in bed. People pleasers with domination fantasies. Manly lads who want to be feminized.

Idk I’m just yapping. But things can get kinda tense in the fandom sometimes (perplexingly to me) regarding Dom/sub discourse and i wanted to try to think about it in a way that’s orthogonal to the whole dom/sub thing.

Do we think Liam and Noel are more likely to be Consistents or Inverters? And in what respect? (e.g. I will die on the hill that Liam, as a lad’s lad, gets off on being feminized).

You’re going to eventually move into women’s clothes?

Liam: I have my fair share of women's clothes on the weekend, mate. Not a new thing for me. But yeah, we might do a few bits and pieces. Definitely going to kids. Get some of these like… shrunken and that. Maybe our kid could get some of them, cos he's a little fella, isn't he?

This thing where Noel puts Liam up as the frontman who receives the adulation and experiences it vicariously through him. But then he gets to experience it himself through Liam’s adulation for him. This guy that you all worship? Yeah. He worships ME.

[yesimbeatle]

in my opinion, the most telling lyric in Take Me is ‘why has it taken you so long?’

he’s 19 at this point and that’s just not something you write about a teenage romance. that’s about something that has been brewing for years and is about to reach a boiling point.

[theimportanceofbeingidle]

And, surely, so very tiring?

The argument was sparked when Liam claimed, falsely, that Noel wasn't the biological father of his daughter Anais. In Q last July, Noel said that Liam had yet to apologise for this and that an apology was required. Has he done so since?

“Has he apologised? Has he fuck. But let me tell you, that thing about my daughter was only the tip of it. There was more he said that night - much more - that he will never be able to take back and he should be ashamed of himself for it. He isn't, of course, because Liam can do no wrong in his eyes. The man is 33 years old, and people still treat him like he is 18, largely because he acts like he is 18.”

In the studio, meanwhile, Noel has to exercise diplomacy to UN levels.

“If I'm not happy with a vocal of his, I can't tell him direct because he'll think I'm trying to embarrass him in front of the others. And if he thinks that, he'll scream and shout and demolish things, then storm out. So I have to get the producer to have a quiet word while I nip to the bog. Insane, isn't it?”

And, surely, so very tiring?

"It is, it absolutely is, but that's just what we have to go through in order to be Oasis, I suppose. And anyway, one of my greatest traits is that I have a very long fuse."

At this point, Liam wanders over: "Talking about me?" he leers.

Noel gives him his most withering look. "Who else?" he says.

I mention to Noel that they appear to be getting on rather well.

"We are. For the first time, he is actually making an effort not to fuck things up in this band,and that,for him,is a pretty big step. I think it's because he's a songwriter himself now, he feels more involved. Before, he was just this drunken buffoon who became a rock star because his brother wrote all these brilliant songs for him, but now that he's writing them as well, he's starting to get respect. He'll never admit this, but that's important to him."

And do you claim any credit for this?

“Too right I do. I held my tongue when he first played me Little James and I believe if I'd told him the truth - that the song was no great shakes - he'd never have written another one again. But now he has and his confidence has grown out of all proportion. Whether he is actually as good as he thinks he is isn't for me to comment on, but I'm glad he feels that way because Oasis without him would be a far more slow-moving machine. And anyway, it's about time he pulled his fucking finger out, the lazy twat. Liam started this band, after all. He should be putting his arse on the line the way I do.”

So, do you think Oasis has a long future?

“I'd like to think so, yes, though I won't say the idea of a solo record doesn't appeal, because it does. But I'd only do it if, say, Liam got banged up for six months. I'd use his absence to my advantage, but I wouldn't quit the band to do it. I've seen other artists do that, and it strikes me as a very long road to loneliness.”

Liam swaggers back from the loo, and I ask him the same question.

“I’d rather shit in my own mouth, quite honestly, and that’s a stupid fucking question anyway,” he says. “Why would I want to go solo? I’m Liam Gallagher and I’m in Oasis. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

I love how the brothers refuse to speak for one another about anything serious. It may be one of the only healthy boundaries they had.

Noel will freely offer up that Liam thinks Spinal Tap is a real band, but if you ask him about Liam’s upcoming nuptials, he’ll tell you to ask him.

Liam was asked his opinion on the degree to which their dad’s violence shaped Noel’s trajectory and he was like you’d really have to speak to him about that.

When asked about Liam having stage fright, Noel said “you’ll have to ask him” before launching into an extended wind-up about Liam’s arse cheeks being clenched. Pretty much saying the real answer won’t be found here but I’m going to take the opportunity for a humorous pisstake.

Before and during the split, didn’t matter. They refused to speak seriously on what the other thought or felt.

I was thinking about this in relation to “me and him are like…telepathic.” There’s a responsibility that comes when you think you’re certain about how someone thinks. It’s no longer your opinion. Since you know, it’s an exposure. It seems like they took pains to avoid that violation of trust.

oh really, noel?

what’s this then?
