#welcome to talkmaster

temporarily converting this to a bbc ghosts spot until the spectre passes over me

I’ll miss John Bercow as Speaker of the House of Commons...

Granted, I haven’t followed UK parliamentary debates too closely. But from what I got here, he was great at the position of Speaker. Inconvenient for the government, when he demanded rights and power for parliament. No push-over, but someone who filled the role with power to navigate parliament in pretty rough times. And the way the debates happen in the House of Commons you need someone who is loud and has a fine sense of humour. Politicians that are great speakers are always welcome. He was also a good entertainer, and while you shouldn’t have too many of those, it was like watching a good talkmaster. Suddenly it was interesting to watch and listen to those other people, that screamed at each other.

so distraught that i decided to speed-binge through bbc ghosts bc i wanna watch it again but it's literally too fresh.. i should have savoured it ;_;

[naughtylilotter]

am i allowed to say that i understand fanny's attraction to humphrey's body and the losing interest when humph's head is attached. it's like when a character who wears a mask all the time does a face reveal. look what you've done. the mystique's all gone now.

[naughtylilotter]

oh god i just realized the other paradigm in the taskhusbands dynamic that makes me go crazy (egomaniacal villainous archetype + subservient and desperate for approval henchman)

[naughtylilotter]

honestly such a shame that jeremy is such a boring taskmaster bc i love paul so dearly

[naughtylilotter]

in body i am at work, in spirit i am freaking it sensitive style in the taskmaster house

[naughtylilotter]

i wanna be so clear that i think taskhusbands is queerbaiting in the way that i think explicit gay couples are often more boring than implied ones. like sure theyve kissed but it's still queerbaiting bc it's for the Comedy and that's their Job and im sucking it up like a vaccuum and coughing up yaoiful interpretations bc that's how i have fun

[naughtylilotter]

i don't think i have the strength but, knowing alex lurks on ao3, it's a near thing of wanting to write a fic that directly address him like. alex i know you're reading this. tell greg i say hi. give him a kiss for me. your time starts now

[naughtylilotter]

can men stop saying they're going to kidnap their tv co-host that they've been play-acting being in a bizarre psychosexual relationship with on national television

[naughtylilotter]

fun as it is seeing greg get up on the stage every now and then, i much more enjoy him in the throne. being on-stage instantly strips him of a lot of his authority bc that's where the clowns are supposed to go

[naughtylilotter]

mr robins' hips just looked very grabbable in that task is all im saying

[naughtylilotter]

favourite pasttimes include scrubbing through the yt uploads for the 'most replayed part' bc half the time it's greg and alex being. yknow.

[naughtylilotter]

you know what the horrid bit is? in all other circumstances im so horribly allergic to rpf it's not even funny. except taskhusbands isn't rpf to me. greg davies the actual man is not the taskmaster greg davies. alex horne the actual man is also not the taskmaster's assistant alex horne (although admittedly i think the line is mildly blurrier with alex bc of the unique mix of comedic intention and parts of his actual personality being baked into the character he plays)

a lot of the show's comedy comes from the genuine reactions of alex and greg but it's also in the playacting and the weird space between the crafted fiction and reality. no one is under any delusion that greg and alex the actual men are lovers, but they can't Possibly deny that the characters they're playing and the lore they've built up for the show doesn't have homoerotic, psychosexual overtones thrumming through it

[naughtylilotter]

do you think they could get limmy on taskmaster
