Yes, I know I'm Trickster's child and as such this should be like, my high holy day, but in reality not so much.

not to mention a periodic day that schedules tricksies nullifies it. Duh.

Fake obituaries

Um, no. Not funny by an order of magnitude. Toying with other people's feelings in the name of April Fool's Day is not tricksie. It's raw manipulation pretending to be socially acceptable, rather than psychopathic. Some of us were not put on the planet to provide temporary fixes to other people's petty control issues.

And honestly? Don't piss of a real Trickster for real. You won't like what happens next.

*poke* This is the answer to your question in my LJ. Rob's post is why I loathe April Fools Day.

It seems like having it scheduled in advance gives a lot of people the feeling of justification they need to point to that day on the calendar and go "It's your fault if I tricked you because you forgot that today is a scheduled Tricksy day!" Which is truly stabby inducing in that special "blame the victim" sort of way. Insult meet injury ( ... )

it's time for a crash course in Trickster mythology.

we question everything and scratch the gold gilt paint off the wooden based idols and point out that the Emperor has no clothes (or that the RNC staffers are in the lesbian themed bondage club)

I should have known this came from you. :)

Y'know those times when you get hugs that aren't actually hugs, they're back pounding alpha dog demonstrations of dominance done in this weirdo passive aggressive/aggressive way?

This is why you have a knife up your sleeve.

I be's no trickster, but I gots several in my family line, so I blend in well when necessary. I can hold my own in a conversation with them when in the right mood.

Uncle Raven bothers me less than Loki dropping by for tea, though. (Though Uncle wouldn't be caught dead drinking tea, and tends to scavenge the whiskey supplies instead.) Perhaps it has to do with the fact that Uncle Raven is family, and he doesn't stare creepily at my daughter...
