The non-IPRE balance gang just forgets how much time the crew spent together sometimes. They spent 100 years fighting together and being roomates, so that tends to lead to very close friendships.

They all know exactly what they like and what they hate. Carey once asked Magnus what Lucretia would like for her birthday and Magnus just made an extremely specific and detailed list of about 20 different items in a heartbeat and another 30 items that he said she would despise. Magnus may have said that he feels like he and Lup never hung out enough but that’s a downright lie. Lup and Magnus are so in sync that Angus asked Magnus what he though Lup would want to do on the weekend and he had decided on the perfect activity immediately (volcano hiking). 

All of the IPRE crew also played a lot of table-top games, so they are elite chess players, especially Merle. Angus once made the mistake of challenging Barry to a chess game. He lost horribly. (Barry purposely dragged out the game for an hour and didn’t lose a single piece) If you want to even try to play Yooker against Davenport you better be prepared to cry your eyes out because this man has no mercy when it comes to bets (unless your name is Merle Highchurch).

There’s also so much harmony between them. Merle and Davenport are actually very coordinated in what they do. They can dance together with their eyes closed and still manage to not only avoid any awkward collisions or mistakes, but they look amazing as they do it. Taako and Lucretia are perfection when they do karaoke together. Killian put them together to help them make up, but when the two of them are competitive as fuck, Taako immediately forgets any qualms he has about Lucretia for the duration of the song and they absolutely destroy Team Sweet Flips at their performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer”.

You can imagine the crew’s surprise when they find that Taako “I-didn’t-let-anyone-but-Lup-hold-me-until-Cycle-52″ Taaco was lying in Kravitz “I’ve-been-dating-Taako-for-2-months-and-I’m-always-ice-cold” Adventurezone’s lap in the middle of winter.

I Cannot Believe Michael got away with literally kicking a dog into the sun. like. kicking a dog is the Certified Number One Way of knowing someone is A Bad Guy, to the point where it’s the NAME OF THE TROPE that is “doing something ridiculously bad to communicate to the audience that this is the Bad Guy” and yet he still managed to pull it off. Incredible.

we were in too deep

How do you get off on still facilitating rick-rolls in 2018? Why have they come back? Why do I keep falling for them?

I mean, in the current and very bleak political climate, almost entirely enabled by the cynicism and deception that has run rife across social media, it’s easy to fall for anything. But in that vein I think a lot of people still do what they can to choose joy, especially if it means using the same weaponised tactics that cause so much upset to spark just a moment of baffled amusement?

There’s this really good thoughtpiece I spotted on Medium recently about how Rick Rolling is one of the only real harmless bits of deception we can pull off on the internet in this day and age, and how it exists as a relic of a pre-cult-of-personality digital era. It’s weird how far we’ve come in a decade.
