is this anything

[identitty-dickruption]

one of the worst things in the world is that feeling unloveable can (and will) make you act in ways that reinforces itself. I feel unloveable so I don’t respond to messages so people reach out less so I feel unloveable. one of the hardest things in the world is fighting back the brain demons long enough to break the cycle

TASKMASTER S16!!

Masters' Academy AU: Magic // Dipper's First Spell

This is just a test page to play with the vibes, Danny playing mentor to the year's two magical newbies. I do find it funny the amount you can read into a page that was never intended to be in the story or even to have dialog written for it.

Feel free to play coloring book with these, I know I might. :)

Ahhh, Dan comparing the gaming channel to British panel shows has just got me all excited because exactly!!! I think about this sometimes because a lot of older people still think it's weird to watch YouTubers just make silly content, but it's literally the exact same stuff.

I don't care about gaming (personally, I know there are dnp fans who do) so I watch dapg videos, or any joint content, for the banter. The games are just a medium for it. Which is the exact same thing as something like, for example, Would I Lie to You or QI. The competition or the learning is entirely secondary to having funny people bounce off each other.

The Intrepid Heroes And How They’d Do On Taskmaster

Brennan

Big Ed Gamble energy. This man comes in with a lust for victory and nothing to lose

The de facto leader in team tasks, barring any mutiny from his team members

Often wins tasks because of an exploited loophole

Might win the series, except if Greg and Alex decide to torture him (very likely)

Lou

Will cause problems on purpose to get things done

Creates the iconic melodrama of the series (a la Oh No My Baby and Took)

Loses at least one task because his is so committed to a bit

If he and Brennan are a team, they are unstoppable. If he and Brennan are with one other person, he may stray and create some James Acaster/Phil Wang/Rod Gilbert-esque shenanigans

Ally

Best task outfit 100%

Makes Alex do something that absolutely ruins his day at least once

Always commits, rarely succeeds (would definitely try to hide aubergines by eating them)

Finds loopholes where there are none

Siobhan

The competent woman that gets ignored in team tasks

You know that compilation of Mel Giedroyc every time she says ‘brilliant’? That but ‘fuck’

If you give her a puzzle task she is out of the room in 5 minutes

She an Emily have the best studio fits (they would def both wear tuxes to the finale like Rose Matafeo and it would similarly destroy me)

Murph

The pathetic man of the season (affectionate)

Put together for the first few tasks and then something in him snaps

Alex Horne is the enemy and is not to be trusted

Injures himself at least once

Zac

Quietly brilliant

Casually finds the hidden easy solutions like it’s nothing

Will occasionally derail his own success just for fun and/or to annoy Brennan if they’re on the same team

Done with Alex’s bullshit at all times

Emily

Just there to have fun

The best person to have on your team in team tasks

Given a secret task to break her down a la Mel Giedroyc, it does not work

Finds solutions to the tasks that nobody considered, the bane of Alex’s existence

had a dream that there was a british all-dyke version of the TRC tv show where everyone was a lesbian going to uni in the UK. also i got cast as kavinsky. and when i asked the casting director if i needed to learn a british accent, he was very emphatically like NO. it is IMPERATIVE that kavinsky be the only american in this show.

missed you, old fag

the comments on literally everything about this series of taskmaster are actually appalling. i'm not a particular fan of rosie jones myself, not that i dislike her at all i just don't know her stuff that well. but I thought she was really good on this first episode! the "i think i got a bit of umbilical cord" had me in tears. And in general like... you don't have to find her funny but there have been plenty of contestants on taskmaster who aren't that funny either and it's really telling that this is the person everyone thinks is going to "ruin taskmaster." be so fr. alex and greg are good at their jobs and they bring out the humour in all contestants.

"the other contestants must be so mad that nobody's going to watch this series" lmao you're an irrelevant little nobody who likes to whinge on the internet and rosie jones is a professional comedian, i guarantee the others would rather hang out with her than with you. the series seems great so far sorry

[s0fter-sin]

they really 50/50’d the thunderbolts with characters i like and characters i couldn’t give less of a shit about

[mageless]

Prime Taskmaster moment: Little Alex Horne absolutely losing his shit in the background of a shot as a contestant does something silly.

Inspired by finding Yet Another streaming service, I'm curious to know how many entertainment streaming services you have at any given time? I would include anything that you pay for in order to get exclusive content or a smoother/more usable experience eg include Patreons if you're in it for the content but if you're not using any extra content and just there to support the artist that's a you do you situation

(This is a repost because I forgot about zero)

For the record I would pay a one off for the content in question but am just not eager to sign up to something else that I'll probably forget to turn off that's not my jam
