Hai. heyheyheypspspsps hey pspsps Gush about murdoc. :grabbyhands:
GAJDFH i just made a whole post ab the guy saying hes pretty which, he is not. he doesnt deserve anymore praise. but yknow, ill 'lovingly' dissect him.
murdad and noodle time 😌😏
i thoroughly love his relationship w/ Noodle and its something thats always on my mind. Russ and 2d grew up with a loving family and it was something he couldnt relate to, along w/ a whole string of things. No one liked Murdoc when he got the band together and with good reason - I don't think that was an issue for him; for the 2 men to hate him anyways. But I think as time progressed he didn't have any connection to them and its was tense. He's an incredibly jealous individual and he 100% fooled around w/ Paula (2d's girlfriend and guitarist when they were just 'Gorilla') to spite 2D.
I think when Noodle came into the picture he didnt really know what to do besides use her talent for the bands personal gain/growth, but over time (and quite quickly) he became extremly fond of her. He doesn't have the heart (or literal soul) to say anything bad about her as shown in interviews. Murdoc- the guy who "hates everyone including himself" had nothing bad to say ab her...in fact he talks ab her highly and defends her and it makes me so happy. Its obvious he cares about her a lot and doesnt know how to show it.
I like to think they connected bc of their relationship w/ their own family or lack of one: which was either... abusive or no 'real family' stated. It's definitely not spoken about and i dont think Murdoc would look into it/notice it/ think hard ab it but he gravitates towards Noodle bc it was almost comforting to see someone her age so sweet and kind bc he definitely wasnt when he was that young. He definitely wanted to keep her safe but I think thats what makes Murdoc extremely tragic. But thats another post.
None of the boys knew how to raise a kid and Murdoc was apprehensive of being parental towards her due to his upbringing bc all he knew was abusive behavior and i think every so often he gets extremely distant from her especially when he realizes that he's actually taking care and doting on her in the 'conventional' ways. He leaves the nitty gritty to Russ and 2D but he did have a hand in raising her - its widely accepted that Russ was Noodles true dad of the band and I can Agree w/ that! But I feel like she'd come to him for help too - he was a funky kind of hypeman for her or would feed into her chaotic ideas and let her be angry and throw tantrums bc 'sometimes it feels good to just yell' - thankfully she was fairly mild tempered. He has a funny way of talking, which i assume is something she enjoyed; Noodle even says Murdoc makes her laugh all the time and even when hes grumpy, she still likes him. I just love the contrast of the Eldest of the band, someone extremely vulgar and not very child friendly,,, being child friendly for her. He's nothing close to perfect but i wholeheartedly believe he tried to do things for her and it was easy bc she wasnt extremly needy - he wasnt uncomfortable with her as i feel he would be with children. Tried to comfort her when she had stagefright, or kept the secrets she couldn't share w/ 2D or Russ, and he'd stay up late w/ her when she couldnt sleep/let her sleep with him on particularly hard nights, let her run around the house and do her own thing, he let her have Fun and his influence definitely rubbed off on her, and now; Noodle in her 30s and Murdoc in his 50's hes kept that "annoying my daughter" vibe w/ her. Can she ever forgive eveyrthing he's done? No, and I think apart of Murdocs growth is accepting that he can't be forgiven for everything. But she loves him and he cares ab her in the most 'fatherly way' he can manage.
