I haven’t done Tasertricks in what feels like forever but it’s still in my head, okay? I AM STILL A SERVANT OF THE GOD OF MISCHIEF.
My favourite kind of Tasertricks is when they both start off being really annoying to each other, and then slowly work out that it’s far more fun to be annoying to everyone else together. That they’re doubly effective as a team. And watching the dynamic gradually change from ‘Thor and Loki’ and ‘Darcy and Jane’ to ‘Thor and Jane’ and ‘Darcy and Loki’.
She calls him ‘dork’ and he calls her ‘minion’. At first they’re poking fun at each other, and they just end up becoming affectionate pet names.
[Even better, the modern sense of ‘minion’ is an oppressed or servile underling. But in the Middle Ages, it also meant something more along the lines of a royal favourite. Indeed, it comes from the French mignon which means cute. God, I love languages.]
