The Disembodied Tentacles @loomingblue - Tumblr Blog

I'm so endeared by Greg's childhood obsession with CB Radio.

The way he kicks with delight when he correctly identifies all the lingo!

His callsign was 'Magic Legs'!

He's just so cute I can't bear it 🥰🥰🥰

Josh Pugh's later characterisation of Greg's radio-based activities is burnt onto my brain: "You were actively trying to get groomed by farmers and getting knocked back." So perfect.

It's like he grew up on those incredibly dangerous Internet 1.0 chatrooms, but specifically chatrooms for Shropshire farmers.

Icl the best parts of every taskmaster season are the duos.

They're always so trauma bonded by the end it's so funny.

Sarah and Munya being the obvious exception. It was like she was babysitting a problem child and wouldn't get paid if she'd wrung his neck.

Also Jo and David Baddiel. Too unbothered to be traumatised.

That handshake is a perfect visual aid to illustrate their clash of communication styles.

Alex wants to pretend a proferred open palm is an invitation to tippity-tap fingertips, and Greg has to chase his hand to achieve an actual handshake.

Is it me or is the way Greg looks up at Alex with a little unperformative, open expression tender and intimate. Like openly seeking contact.

From Alex's letter to Jason:

"I'm going to tell you something that I haven't said to any of the other contestants. [...] I think you could conquer the Taskmaster himself. I think you should be the Taskmaster. He's big and strong and brave and handsome, but I think you're better. There, I've said it. And I don't care anymore. For some time now, I've wanted to talk to Greg, to really talk to him, to tell him how much I respect and admire him, but that I also understand he's sometimes afraid. He sometimes wants to be held, because he is mighty, but he is not indestructible. He is magnificent, but he also hurts, because who doesn't? Who has no weaknesses? Who is 100% bulletproof? You are, Jason. You are rugged, firm and unshakable. Your mind is as tough as your fists, which are basically big lumps of metal. One day, I hope I serve under you, and together we shall defeat all vanquishers and bring peace to this land. Please bear this in mind for the rest of the task and for the rest of your time on this show. You are better than him. Goodbye, Alex Horne."

To quote Jason: wow, that's huge.

Also, I like the implications of how each letter is signed:

Stevie's: AH and GD. Fatiha's: Little Alex Horne. Rosie's: Greg Davies. Mathew's: Alex Horne on behalf of Greg Davies. Jason's: Alex Horne

No one enjoys writing TM fanfic more than Alex Horne
