PODCAST: HORRY
You can’t advertise if you can’t attention. You can’t get attention if you don’t stand out. You can’t stand out without being different. You can’t do different if you think the same. If you think different you’re likely to be different. Being different is a problem to agencies. A BBH Planner once complained ‘the problem with this place is they can’t accommodate black sheep’. Equally, I doubt TBWA…

Wessex Wyvern’s Spiced Gin
A seriously impressive #gin from @WessexGin
Even the most intrepid explorer of the ginaissance will find that they have their favourites or hit upon a distillery whose range of gins, like the Sirens in Greek mythology lure, and charm them into their warm embrace, never to let them go. This is the effect that the spirits of Wessex Distillery, found deep in the Surrey Hills in Wormley, near Godalming, in what was eastern Wessex in days of…

So in starlet non au, how did they meet? Great answer with the non interview answers they would give. It’s like a complicated subterfuge. 😅
The first time? In passing at an audition. They weren't going up for the same part, but they had to be there at the same time, and honestly it felt... kind of unremarkable at the time.
Both just in the beginning bursts of their careers and so deeply hunkered down in the closet, both entirely married to the love of their work, neither really was in the headspace to think anything on it. It had been as simple as Clarke settling herself down in the waiting room while they wrapped up with the audition scheduled right before hers, taking the seat two spaces down from the room's only other occupant. That's really all it was. Just a few thoughtless glances at a girl sipping coffee while reading a script, watching insanely gorgeous lips silently twisting around a few last minute lines.
She'd remembered thinking if those lips were fake, then whoever had done them must've been a god. Perhaps one among a pantheon who had put this girl together, with her wild bohemian curls and smokey eyes that gave the woman an air of authority, and the very specific styling of her too-tight jeans with a leather jacket that looked like it cost more than the rent on Clarke's Studio City apartment.
But beyond that, mostly she'd just been wondering if they were going up for the same damn part. So much so she'd asked her where she'd managed to scrounge up the coffee just for something to break the silence. After the blow of Leather Jacket's apologetic revelation that she had been smart enough to bring it with her herself, it'd been easy enough to very casually ask what part she was up for, feeling a wave of relief when she flashed Clarke the front of the script marked for a different project entirely.
(Because while Clarke couldn't ever be accused of being particularly humble, if given the choice between the two of them, she knew which way her own casting choice would've gone.)
That was the first time they met.
The second time was more.
The second time was at a private party thrown by a friend of a friend of a friend. The kind that is meant just as much for shmoozing and making contacts as it is for actually having fun. All expensive perfume and too much booze and the kind of drugs people who want to live past 50 tend to stay away from.
Clarke had been working on her second gin and tonic of the night when she noticed that familiar head of bohemian hair. When she'd noticed how those smokey eyes that she had all but forgotten about kept darting toward her and lingering there.
Except this time, Leather Jacket had a name.
Alexandria Woods.
Or so Google had told her when she'd spent a paltry 15 minutes looking her up through their respective agency all those weeks before.
But she'd made a rule for herself the second she'd moved to LA and she wasn't about to blow it for a pretty face at a party. So she'd mingled, and smiled, and played the part of not-that-innocent young ingénue, and did her best to stop seeking those eyes out.

Clark: OK? I JUST WANTED A SIMPLE WEDDING! WHERE MY FIANCEE *referring to J’onn* CAN GO TO THE BATHROOM ANYTIME HE WANTS! (pause) You know what? You're done.
Bruce: What?
Clark: YOU'RE FIRED!
——————————
Barry: Hal, do you have a plan?
Hal: I don’t even have a “pla”.
——————————
Clark: *referring to Hal* Go tell him he’s cute. What’s the worst that could happen?
Bruce: He could hear me.
——————————
Dinah: Now, I need you to be careful and efficient. And remember: If I am harsh with you, it's only because you're doing it wrong
——————————
Ollie: Barry, the big question is, does she like you? 'Cause if she doesn't like you this is all a moo point.
Barry: A moo point?
Ollie: You know, like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo.
Barry: *turn to Hal* Have we been hanging out with him to long, or did that just make sense?
——————————
Diana: *referring to J’onn* Have you told him how you feel?
Clark: Yes. Not out loud.
——————————
Clark: *to J’onn* I thought we were apart for a good reason, but then I suddenly realized there was no reason good enough to keep me from spending the rest of my life with you.
——————————
Hal: *to Bruce* It’s okay, you don’t have to be the best at everything
Bruce: Oh my God! You don’t know me at all!
——————————
Hal: We were playing Gin? Y'know if we were a couple, we could play this game naked.
Bruce: Will you stop!
Hal: Okay. All right.
Bruce: Okay, all right, I think you're great, I think you're sweet, and you're smart, and I love you. But you will always be the guy who peed on me.

Unfinished WIP
Hi all. So a while back I had plans for a fic comprised of standalone scenes strung together, akin to Ampersands a bit, taking place across different months and years. It was “a history of Murdoc in knickers,” or a look at how his relationship to wearing knickers (and gendered clothing overall) began, and his tumultuous inter-band relationships seen through that lens, before and including Stu.
At this point, it seems unlikely I’ll ever go back and finish it. I’m sorry for that, I wish I could keep the motivation and momentum going, but... barring an exciting comeback phase with Gorillaz that makes this content feel a bit more relevant, I just can’t help but imagine we’ve reached the end of something.
I’ve still got a little flame in my heart so I’m not exactly putting it out to pasture, but I thought, in case it never happens-- maybe you might like the beginning? Alright, enough chatter, sorry this is clunky and unedited!
--
1.
The first time is a joke. There’s halogen heat on his skin, and gin-rancid men shouting slurs from the edge of frame, and a paste of speed and sweat under the nail on his waving middle finger. The stage is small, it’s nothing, it’s a treestump in swampland swallowing schoolboys’ shoes and breeding tetanus in return, but it doesn’t feel it. In satin he feels like he’s finding the sun.
He’s wearing knickers. And it’s a joke.
The music scene in Stoke is incredibly dull and borderline incestuous, exchanging members from one drain-circling pub rock outfit to the next, every Gary and Marvin swapping caps and guitars until the lineup works its way back ‘round again. It’s enough thrill for them, the endless circling, but Murdoc isn’t compelled by a closed course. Thank fuck there are thousand-watt bulbs among the duds, sloe-eyed boys with teeth enough to push up front and smoke-smelling riot girls, all of them spitting sparks and catching onstage. It’s hell to know one, but a fire gives off light, at least.
He knows this better than most, because Murdoc catches like a tinderbox. Patchouli Clark had flamed out in miserable mockery, his comp tab revoked when it became clear he well outdrank the old cunts throwing bottles at the stage to stop his wailing. His voice is raw and tuneless, less Dylan and Waits than it is a peeling of metal from metal, a sort of aural demolition in progress. Having a habit makes it all the worse, words piling up behind the tongue scraping his gums; if he’s even brought his bass, his playing is erratic and stop-start, metered by the squeals of amp feedback. On a manic night, he splits the skin of his eyelid around the mic stand when he beckons an angry punter onstage and two more follow. There’s blood caked from his brow to the fold of his nostrils, so the air smells sickly of Buckfast and coins when they drag him out. His left eye never really matches the right again after.
Bullworker is the same, only it overlaps with another in between that he can’t even remember the name of. The writing is on the wall again. By now he knows the message well. Maybe it’s simpler when the poet is pretty, when they’re gold-throated and gracious. Maybe it’s the reason the stage was built.
The audience loves you, and you love them for loving you. Love that sees you cloaked in light. Love that never knows the dark.
The audience hates him. The kick is that he likes that, really. He didn’t walk to school with raw, red-sticky heels from his brother’s castoff shoes because people liked him; he didn’t break his nose, knuckles, two ribs and a collarbone before semester’s end because people liked him; he didn’t trade a darling yellow knapsack of stolen medication for a blanket and a spot by the radiator because people liked him. He’s here because he knows that having is born of taking. Murdoc has the audience– when he pulls the mic stand between his knees, presses it hard to his groin as he brays and feels another voyeur wince, he gets what he came for.
