who is in control?- a Greg/Alex and Taskmaster/Assistant Playlist
listen here on apple music | spotify | youtube
40 songs • 2 hours, 22 minutes
How much of this game is just the written characters of the powerful, commanding Taskmaster and his pathetic little assistant? What is slipping through the cracks, bleeding into the lives and hearts of Greg Davies and Alex Horne? Who is in control? 🪢
(Mr IRL Alexander JJ Horne, if you see this, no you didn't. Besides, it's all your fault anyway, sooo.)
Track listing and more notes below the cut.
I Think I’m In Love- Kat Dahlia (I didn't think it could be true
Let alone that it would be you)

But I fell in love with her gap tooth smile)

But I'm not a holiday
It's up to you to make the move)
nice pup by chloe moriondo (And I'll still curl up at your feet and
Try to give you everything you need and
I'll be a nice pup if that's how you want me)
Straight by Destrends (You've got a hold on me, mate
I can't think straight)
Sorry Bro (I Love You) by Dorian Electra (I know, I know we always tussle

Gap Tooth (On My Mind) by Best Ex (Now all I see is the gap between your teeth
The way you’d kiss me in the morning
It plays on repeat)

Well, come on, come on, let's play)
Desperate But Not Serious by Adam Ant (If I were kind and adoring
How would that be? Very boring)
Moonlite by Nicole Dollanganger (You were my girl, my thing, my pet
To do anything I wanted with)
Pretty Gay! By Baybe (Now I wanna give 'em something they can talk about (Talk about)
Heard that I'm too mean, but it's the thought that counts)
Just a Game by Birdy (There comes you,
To take me in your arms
Is it just a game?
I don't know)
Give Great Thanks by Dorian Electra (Put me in a cage

I will give great thanks to you)
Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) by Florence + the Machine (This is a gift, it comes with a price

Lonely is the Muse by Halsey (And I mined a couple diamonds
From the stories in my head
But I'm reduced to just a body
Here in someone else's bed)
Come to Me by Björk (So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm)
Government Hooker by Lady Gaga (I can be anything, I'll be your everything
Just touch me, baby, I don't wanna be sad)
Hopelessly Addicted by The Corrs (And if yesterday I heard
Myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie)
Puppet by Dorian Electra (Cut my strings but please, don't ever set me free
No, I won't let go, I give you full control)
Adagio For Strings (ft. Maiday) by BASTILLE (Oh, I don't know, what can I do?
What else can I say, it's up to you)
[Note: The song between Puppet & Control should be Adagio For Strings (Ft. Maiday) by BASTILLE. Since Spotify doesn't have this track, I've used instead What Is Love by Haddaway, which is the main song covered and interpolated in BASTILLE's song. If you're a Spotify user, check out this song elsewhere for the true experience!]
Control by Halsey (God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?)
Chains by Robots in Disguise (Is it 'cause I'm you
And you're me
And we're chained
Linked to each other with chains)

Sit, stay, lie down
Sit, stay, lie down)
For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert (Baby, I'm in control
Take the pain, take the pleasure
I'm the master of both)
Apollo by Chrissy Chlapecka (But you came, showed your light
And I thought I could make it mine)
It’s Your Move by Diana Ross (I don't understand it 'cause you won't say yes

You never know, you just might see
Another boy who crept into your room)
Say It Right by Nelly Furtado (No, you don't mean nothin' at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh, you could mean everything to me)
Pang by Caroline Polachek (There's a look in your eyes when you're hungry for me
(Tell me what you're afraid of)
It's a beautiful knife cutting right where the fear should be)
Lick It Like a Kitten by Mars Argo (Thought it was innocent
Just thought you could handle it
But now you're crawling on the floor
Are you sure you want me to)
Craving (I Only Want What I Can’t Have) by t.A.T.u. (And consequences in the future
And feeling is now
And now I can't feel the future

note: I'm still using they/them Tozer as my chew toy so I may continue to rearrange the order of these songs or may add more as I continue messing with the playlist.
second note: the flag behind Tozer on the playlist picture is the non-binary transfemme flag
*
Cig wrote about Tozer possibly being a firefighter or paramedic in their fic and I wrote Tozer being a corps member in my fic, wherein both of these Tozers are non-binary somewhat/somehow. It's so perfect, because when I envision non-binary Tozer I imagine them a lot like (but not exactly like) my first partner that I had.
I met them in the corps and they had to hide their queerness because of the nature of working in the corps. They worked as a firefighter and then later as a paramedic. My partner also really liked 15 Minutes by Mike Krol and BOOGIE by Brockhampton so I put them in the playlist as homage.
I imagine Sol as the kind of person who would have to hide their queerness while working in the Marines or Navy, or whatever institution that they had to work in. I knew a lot of people in the corps who were closeted and didn't come out until they left. And maybe it's because they didn't realize or maybe it was because they were compelled to stay in the closet. I was one of them.
Now, I imagine that Sol's life is much better. They are no longer worried to tears about being outed and can live happily and out of the closet. They have queer friends. They do their nails and have all sorts of clothes to wear. Sometimes they let their beard grow out, sometimes they are clean shaven. They like perfumes that are usually marketed to women. Boots that are usually marketed to men. Clothes that are marketed to women. They like working on cars and going to the gym and going to petting zoos and dancing at clubs and kissing all sorts of people. They have an appointment set up to go on estrogen that they're scared and excited about. The people that they were the most scared to come out to are their biggest supporters.
This playlist isn't really meant to be ABOUT Tozer, it's just what they like to listen to. I tried to make it a mix of riot grrl, hardcore, metal, grunge, lesbian anthems, and sad gayboy music.
