hello

Do you think these facial expressions are him being overstimulated or something?

hello

Nah. To me he just looks like he’s just deeply feeling the music, y’know? Like in this one where it looks as if the guitar keeps biting him. That’s his music face. Like this one with the piano. Or like in this one where he’s playing every instrument with his face alone.

Or maybe this one where he’s holding his head.

I imagine he’d look more like this if he’s overwhelmed, I think. But, he could be doing it on purpose like one of his bits. Who knows?

Or maybe like this.

Then again, I don’t know the guy, so all of this could be completely incorrect.

I’ve seen some people mention that Alex always does a fidgety thing with his hands before he performs Teddy Licker but I’ve never seen it, do you know of any examples of this?

hello

sorry ive never heard of this but i went and watched about 20 teddy picker performances and noticed that he almost always has his hands already on the fret board

except on these 2 occasions where he did the same thing

update: this post

hi! do we know when alex started smoking?

i was just wondering because i dont remember any pictures of him with a cig before the humbug era :)

hello

i think he started late 2007/early 2008 because I've seen him with one before. I just can't remember where sorry ):

This is from a 2007 interview:

The UK smoking ban kicked in on July 1. Has it bothered you?

Matt: "Nick's the only one of us that smokes."

Nick: "Oi, my mum reads this!"

Matt: "(Back-tracking hastily) Like I said, Nick doesn't even smoke."

Nick: "I agree with it, even though I do smoke. I think it's a good thing."

Alex: "You get weird smells now, I reckon."

Matt: "We were reading about that place where they give out free deodorant because you smell people more now in bars."

Nick: "It's a good way to meet new people outside I've found. And it someone's getting on your nerves you can just say. 'Right, Im going outside for a cigarette."

Alex: "I think it will become less strict in a few years. 'Cos like in New York they've had it a bit longer and they turn a blind eye to it some places there now.”

I think @goblinontour might know how to answer this, actually.

hi

what was the interview where alex said if u lie to the doc then they give u free anxiety meds?? 😭 xx

hello

he doesnt say he did it or not here but idk

The hotel's waiter brings out their order. Another beer for Alex and a Coke for Miles. And a last demand
Miles Kane: Could you bring me something sweet to go with the coke. Chocolate or maybe a cookie?
Waiter: I'll see what I can do sir
Alex Turner: I have a better idea, why not bring a space cookie?
Waiter: Hmm, that’s to say?
Alex: You know, like a cookie but with a bit of weed
Waiter: That’s illegal here, gentlemen
Alex: Yes, I know it was just a stupid joke. Do you smoke Thomas? (asking the interviewer)
Interviewer: Uh, why?
Alex: Just to know
Interviewer: Some people say our dear president [Macron] its [preparing a law] for the decriminalisation of cannabis, and intends to take it out of his hat, before the next election
Alex: It would be wise to do so
Interviewer: At the same time, it’s semi legal where you live, in L.A.
Alex: Almost, you just need to see a doctor and get a prescription
Interviewer: It’s an hypocrisy
Alex: Obviously, since you just have to tell them you are anxious
Anonymous asked:

what are Alex’s most common stressed/nervous stims?

Nervous Stims

here's a good @jetskisonyourmoat compilation of this interview. it includes finger tapping, eyerubbing, etc

  • In this one, it's not very clear what he's doing. We only see him kind of bounce. So I'm not sure how to categorise this

There's more, but these are the most prominent, I guess. Thank you for the ask.

hello

this isn’t his tappy legs exactly so idk if it counts but I noticed how in the very beginning of this video (it is a compilation but I couldn’t be bothered to find the og so just only pay attention to the first vid) that while miles and alex are saying “happy!!” that miles kinda twiddles his feet around (I have absolutely no idea how to explain it)

hello

OUGH ive never noticed that before youre right its so so cute hes happy!!!

its from this video btw i just didnt source things back then im so sorry

Anonymous asked:

hes probably done it many many times before but its weird to say hes perpetually high because if you go back like hes always been like this yknow? / Exactly!! I’m not saying that he’s never done drugs before or smth bc he’s pretty much almost definitely done them before, i just hate how some people think that in EVERY performance and EVERY interview that he’s high because that just unrealistic.

hi yes exactly

theres a quote i think where it was brought up in an interview and that was wayyy way back before am its very weird

Anonymous asked:

I found an old post where some anon began hating on you and said that all of Alex’s autistic tendencies were all just drugs and I just realised how fucked up it is that some people don’t understand that being different doesn’t always mean drugs. It’s so weird how people will look a clip of him stuttering and go “IS HE HIGH??!” like omg just let him live his life without constantly being judged and questioned about his awkwardness. Not everything is drugs. Thank you acknowledging how it could literally just be who he is and not him being eternally high or something like most of the comments on his videos are.

hello i forgot to reply to this but it made me happy when i saw it the first time and yeah youre right its kind of weird to think hes high or drunk the whole time but we cant be naive either yknow like one time they were talking about drugs or whatever he said if you go to the doctor and say you have anxiety or smt they give you stuff at first it made me go thats not a very nice thing to do.... but then i thought maybe he actually needed it and turned it into a joke or smt but anyways yeah hes probably done it many many times before but its weird to say hes perpetually high because if you go back like hes always been like this yknow? idk its none of my business really but it feels like offensive because it made me scared that people think of me or people like me in that way too yknow?
