A photo of the bookshelf that stands next to me while I'm at my desk. There are D&D books, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect novels, and a decent and growing collection of graphic novels.

Atop the D&D books lays a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster. He refuses to look me in the eye.

Petra was mad that I had found this one as quickly as I did because it'd have been really funny if Tasky was sitting next to me for a week or something without me noticing. #hiddenTask

A photo of a electronic pine tree being flanked by two bookshelves on its left, littered with books, and another on its right, adorned with board games. Look closely, if you can, to see if you can spot him.

A photo of the inside of the fake tree, showing a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster doing the Van Damme splits.

Tasky went a surprising while without getting spotted. Still a few weeks behind on posting these (whoops), but not too many updates remaining after this one. #hiddenTask

Photo of a pantry closet.

A zoom, showing a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster standing behind a bottle of barbecue sauce, which is behind two jars of creamed honey spreads.

Several posts behind again. Tasky hiding behind the new barbecue sauce (we've an immense surplus of mustards). #hiddenTask

A photo of a window with its blinds drawn and closed in the upward direction.

Up close and looking downward in the blinds, this photo shows that a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster is holding onto the blinds between the blinds and the window pane. A reflection of the window behind Tasky reveals a toilet.

This was where I hid Tasky next. It took people a few days to find him, but I made sure that he was at a height that people would see him if they looked at the blinds (Petra is over a foot shorter than me). #hiddenTask

A glass case coffee table covered with gift-wrapping supplies.

A close up of an exposed area of the glass, showing a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster lying next to a polished rock egg.

This one is a a smidge old now, as I moved him a few days ago and a second hint finally got Tasky found today. This was really hard, tho, because the holiday clutter moved to cover him pretty badly. #hiddenTask

A toy of Marvel's Taskmaster stands on a wall mount for a TV, between the TV and the wall.

It took a while for Petra to find Tasky this time! Now, that's because there was no way to see him without looking behind the TV or sitting on the ground. The latter was how i was hoping they'd find him, but i gave away the room he was in since he was so obscured from view. #hiddenTask

I've updated this bit to be a thread for better viewing! I'll get my most recent update posted later, since Petra found my spot a day or so ago, and i'll reskeet new posts so that they pop up on OnlyPosts still. Smooches. #hiddenTask

A photo of a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster behind glass and wood. There's no zoomed out pic to show how hard this was to see because there's a ton of personal and personally identifiable items in this cabinet, and I'm not gonna censor a picture for this fun bit we're doing.

Rapid #hiddenTask updates, but this is the last one since Petra hasn't found my latest hiding spot yet :+3. They hid Tasky perfectly behind the wooden parts of the doors to a display cabinet we have, making it really difficult to see him unless looking into the cabinet at an angle when it's closed.

A photo of a large box of Oreos. It is on top of a board for some sort of Irish alcohol that is one our dining table. I don't drink alcohol, but I think it came with some fancy hot chocolate set that Petra bought. I think the letters say "Five Farms," "County Cork," and "Ireland," but the some letters of the first phrase are obscured by the Oreos and a baby toy.

A photo of the inside of the Oreo box, showing full sleeves of Oreos with a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster lying in row.

I've forgotten to update this after I was like "i should make this a thread instead of a bunch of quote skeets so that it can be viewed chronologically" and never did that lol. Anyway, this is where I his Tasky next. He was found within the day lol. #hiddenTask

A photo of the top right corner of a fridge, showing a yellow cup on its top. There's also some secret instant noodles.

A photo looking into the cup, showing a toy of Marvel's Taskmaster waiting inside.

Petra hid Tasky in the cup her father-in-law "accidentally" left here that I now use to refill our cats' water dishes. They found him pretty quickly in the spot I chose after this, but I'll post that later. #hiddenTask

Photo of a door leading outside with a glass window to view outside. There is a small man pressing against the glass. It is very dark outside.

A close up of the tiny man, who is Marvel's Taskmaster as a toy doll. He is taped to the window for his own safety.

A photo the door showing how obvious Tasky is in the window in the daylight, his silhouette being just truly, painfully obvious.

A close-up of daylight-engulfed Tasky. (Honestly, he was pretty obvious in the nighttime photos, too.)

I seriously thought that this was a great hiding spot at 1 am when I set it up, lol. Petra obviously clocked Tasky the moment thry walked into the room. #hiddenTask

A toy of Marvel's Taskmaster standing in a window, looking outside.

Found Tasky a couple days ago. Ignore the webs and muck on the outside. Them spiders were having fun a month or so ago. #hiddenTask

A toy of Marvel's Taskmaster stands in the corner of a box for bagged frozen Broccoli Normandy. This box is on the floor of our closet with some packing paper inside so that the cats like it more.

The same toy is hanging from a metal shelf in the same closet. It is hanging by one of its arms, with hand (unseen) clasping one of the metal rods that form the shelf platforms. Clothes on hangers can be seen behind/below, and folded clothes sit on the shelf above.

Petra found Tasky in the spot I placed him, seen in the first picture. In celebration, they placed him in the position in the second picture, triumphantly hanging from a spot above where I put him, lol. After a day or so, she actually hid him. I did find that spot, but pic tomorrow. #hiddenTask

A toy of Marvel's Taskmaster sitting on a wooden shelf that's been painted white. Just behind him is a sealed bag containing old shower curtain hooks and a small bag of catnip.

I found Tasky in our bathroom, sitting on the top shelf above where we keep some towels. What a lad. A fine spot. I've hidden him again, so we shall wait until Petra finds him for the next update. #hiddenTask

A toy of Marvel's Taskmaster is holding onto the wing of a small aircraft. This aircraft is wielded by DC's Wonder Woman, who is about to smash it into DC's Batman's whole body. The overall item that Taskmaster is on is a plastic statue from the Collector's Edition of the 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' video game. There is a Jojo's Bizarre Adventures flat-brim hat in the background that is a gift to Consensual Duane from a few years ago that has still somehow not been given to him.

A zoom of the prior scene showing Tasky better.

Having the entire house for potential hiding places is definitely adding a lot to the challenge. Recently, Petra finally found Tasky, but they've yet to sneak him away to a new location. At the rate we've been going with finding him, I suspect that my next update will be in a month. #hiddenTask

The Taskmaster doll is waist-deep in the chest cavity of a meter-tall plastic skeleton named The Friend. The Friend is wearing a white beard, a knitted hat, a pale green shirt, and Pooh overalls.

After two nights of very active searching and Petra working hard to try to hint at me, I finally found Tasky, hidden within the chest cavity of The Friend™. To my credit, Taskmaster was under the beard, and I only saw him when I noticed that The Friend's beard had fallen down a little. #hiddenTask

I'm gonna make the #hiddenTask posts into a thread here, instead of the potentially endless quote train, to make it easier to see them all. Idk when it'll happen, but it will.
