The Street Rat and the Trash Man (Jamie Hewlett x Ace D. Copular UWU)

"They Were Right When They Said We should Never Meet Our Heroes"

Jamie Hewlett thinks himself a genius; Sending beloved and equally beloathed Gorillaz bassist Murdoc Niccals to jail and immediately replacing him with former gang leader and children's cartoon character Ace Copular. Although he sees himself intellectually superior for thinking of this there is no logical reason that this should happen, or no logical reason that we should think of.

The real reason Jamie, instead of developing a character of his own to take over, brought in Ace Copular is because of a strange fascination.

Ever since the Powerpuff Girls episode Buttercrush aired he found himself hopelessly... captivated... by the green-skinned, middle-parted and greasy haired delinquent he saw terrorizing children on his screen.

And now he gets to have this man in his potentially arthritic hands.

Ace himself was not too excited about joining Gorillaz. Nothing against them if course; Ace considers himself a fan. He has two albums and has listened to Rise of the Ogre, but never did he see himself associating or being associated with the band.

When he saw Noodle at the Kentucky Derby he didn't want to say "hello". The story would be just as interesting to his friends without all the meet-and-greet.

Alas Noodle recognised him, and they did start talking. She told him about the situation with Murdoc, and that they needed someone to fill in for him.

Ace didn't offer, but Noodle did ask him if he could. It took some persuasion, but Ace eventually agreed.

And now he's a temporary replacement for Murdoc, both as bassist for Gorillaz and, Jamie's personal boy toy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Until this afternoon Ace hadn't gotten to really meet Jamie. He was more or less excited. Craig McCracken would always gloat about how good of friends he was with Jamie, so Ace always assumed he'd be a great person. Of course, he knew what Jamie looked like, sounded like, dressed like and all that, as well as the handful of controversy he, although perhaps unintentionally, built for himself (he was a cartoon character that lived in a fictional world, composed of some lines and a paint bucket tool, but he didn't live under a rock).

He would have guessed Jamie would have wanted to meet him, but he found it awfully sketchy that he wanted to speak in private in his study.

Copular doesn't bother knocking when he gets to the door. As soon as he opens the door he is greeted to a very-

"Shut that fucking door!"

Ace slams the door shut and runs down the hall, clasping a hand over his mouth trying to keep him from spewing his lunch all over himself.

"I'm sorry you had to see that, friend." Jamie apologizes. "It really... Wasn't what it looked like."

"It looked like you were furiously masturbating to a picture of me when I was still in the show."

"I was practicing my handshake." Jamie grimaces as he holds out his hand for Ace to shake.

Ace takes the cuff of his sleeve to shake instead.

"You were always my favourite character, you know..." Jamie sighs as he runs his fingers up Ace's thigh. This was a lie, of course. Jamie's favourite Powerpuff Girls character is Mojo Jojo, but is he really going to fuck a literal chimpanzee?

"Thanks," Ace replies, very tempted to remove Jamie's hand from his leg and dislocate it. "Tank Girl is good. I like it." He returns the compliment, though it too is a lie. Ace has never read or watched Tank Girl. He merely knows that it exists and that Hewlett aided in bring it to life.
