Hey everyone, 2D and Noodle here!

So we thought we'd make a tumblr blog!! Me and 2D have found eachother again, as were accidentally working together in a small coffee shop just outside of London.

Thought we'd let you lot ask us some questions! Pretty much anything youre curious about, but please keep questions about the band to a minimum.. its er...

A sensitive topic. Questions about it are fine just... dont expect too much.

Agreed.

So uh, yeah! Ask us anything, I guess?

OOC INFO: The band broke up after plastic beach: theu tried to work together again but it just didnt work. 2D and Noodle accidentally get a job in the same coffee shop, but neither keep in contact with the other two.

What's the most annoying coffee order you have to make? :3

Theres not specific drink I find annoying... but when people order something super complicated during rush hour is... kinda agitating. But I guess irs my job to make it even if its busy.

Mocha. I just... can't.

Mochas, really? Theyre not that hard-

I CANT DO THEM!

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

Heya you two hope you guys are having a wonderful day and things are getting better I just wanted to give ya both a gift just to cheer you up 🩷

(Also the character that is there is my self insert in Gorillaz just wanted to give a gift love ya content)

Oh, how sweet! Thanks so much for giving us a gift! Weve both been struggling at the moment, this job doesn't pay too good.. hopefully things will get better, yeah, bur a sweet treat will definately help!

Oo, cookies! Thanks so much!

They look really good!

Mmm....

What would you do if Murdoc walked into the coffee shop...

If Murdoc walked in..? I.. honestly I dont know. I'd have very mixed feelings. Sure, I miss him and all, I'm sure noodle does too (mhm!)... But I don't know how I'd react. I'd probably be a little scared.

Yeah. About the same reaction for me. I would probably duck under the counter, in all honesty.

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

Did you both start working there at the same time, or did one of you start way later, and the other one was like 'wait holy balls that's them"?

I was workin' here first, I got told I was training the new employee- and then I was shocked when I found out it was Noodle.

I was equally as shocked. I didnt expect to come in for training and see them! Definately a pleasant surprise, though!

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

do y'all hope to run into Russel again at some point?

I mean, I'd love to seem him just to know he's well... still alive, and everything... i have no idea what hes up to these days. Guess thats the point though. I do miss him.

I agree, yeah. Id like to see Russ too... but I dont think thats gonna happen. I miss him a lot as well, just dont think he'd particularly want to see us.

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

what if Murdoc tries kidnapping again to force y'all to be in the band

I highly doubt he'd do that.

Welll... its not beyond him.. you know how passionate he is... and how he gets.

Actually, yeah... good point. Uh, considering he agreed pretty calmly to everyone leaving id hope he wouldnt do that to any of us.

I can only hope that he wouldnt, really. I er, dont exactly have faith that he won't though.

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

do you guys ever miss being in KONG? and have you made coffee for familiar faces?

Do I miss being there? Maybe a little sometimes? My apartment js great now, though. I can finally just keep my own space clean without worrying about the boys maling a big mess. Can't say it wasnt fun living with all my friends though... until it wasnt.

Miss Kong? Blimey, thats quite a personal one. Er, I suppose so. Sometimes. Not... a thought that crosses my mind all the time. See, I love in the flat above this shop. Proper neat little space that. I guess I miss it sometimes, but its hard to miss it without many positive memories...

Ive personally never made coffee for anyone we knew before, especially the other two.

Er, I once made a hot chocolate for one of the girls Murdoc brought home. Kelly, was it?

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

Do yall think Murdoc is out there trying to make a new band?

Knowing him, yeah. Don't think hes gonna have quite the same luck as before, though. I havent seen much about him at all, though, wo maybe hes gone a different route.

I kinda hope hes not, the way Gorillaz ended..? I dont think anyone is gonna wanna be in a band with him anymore. But.. knowing him.. he probably is.

Mm, he takes music way too seriously. Like, we all took it seriously, but he took it way too far.

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

So recently ive been thinking about changing my name.. not.. not sure what to, but Noodle just feels very connected to the band, no? I dont know if that makes sense. It might not.

Nah, I totally get that. 2D was.. a nickname from Murdoc. I mean, I like it and all though... but I get it.. I guess?

Yeah! What would people think? Any suggestions..?

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

I have a blog specific to my coffee shop au!!!

Er, id totally love it if you could maybe follow, send an ask, id like to get my au out there!

Its an ask blog run by 2D and Noodle

After plastic beach, the band found themselves unable to work with eachother. 2D and Noodle havent kept in contact with anyone, not even eachother, but by complete accident they end up working in the same coffee shop!

Any further questions could be asked on the blog.. 🥹

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

How do you feel about making tedious coffee/drink order—ESPECIALLY london fogs?

(fun fact! The London Fog wasn’t invented in London, it was actually invented in Vancouver!)

I quite like making that kind of thing, I think its quite relaxing and people always think its gonna take longer than it does, so they are usually pleasantly surprised.

....a whatt?

Its a complicated drink...

Oh. Then I dont like making it.

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

Is russel here? If not, where is he?

Well I haven't spoken to Russ since the band broke up... i hope hes alright, though...

Same. I miss him a lot. But I havent kept in contact with him, and I dont know what hes ip to now.

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

PLEASEEEE SAY THIS ISNT A 2NU (NOODLE X 2D BLOG)

This is NOT 2nu :) theyre just close friends, and i promise it will stay thay way!!

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

YOOOOOOO NOODLE AND 2DDDDDDDD MY GOATS

can I just ask this: why a coffee shop? why not something music related? did you just want to get out of the music spotlight for a while or was there any personal reason?

oki ty <3

Well.. after.. everything with plastic beach, we tried to keep making music but none of us could find ourselves workin together. Makin' music just doesnt feel right anymore, I suppose?

Yeah, I agree. It doesnt feel like something i can do anymore. Music was something people wanted me to do, and coffee is.. simple. Nobody is forcing me to do it, and its not as much pressure, y'know?

[gorillazcoffeeshopau]

What kind of coffee do they like making the most? Do they have a signature drink?

Ooh I love making a latte- a hot one- because I find doing the art ontop so much fun! I love seeing how customers, especially younger ones, react to the pictures. I know id have loved it as a kid!!

Er, probably a latte also? Just because its the most simple.. im not great at all that art like Noodle is.

You're great, 2D!

I cant even do a heart...

(Incase it isnt obvious- purple is noodle and blue is 2D <3)
