of which of the IPRE members are meme loving fucks?

my god, all of them

merle and dav maybe dont rly…get it? not the way the younger birds do.  they try their best and of the memes theyve caught onto, they absolutely exhaust, merle especially.  lup, taako, and magnus are the main meme generators–  theyre the most social, anyhow, and on more populated planets they bring memes back to the ship.  

lucretia and barry thoroughly enjoy the memes they bring– how can u not when u work in such close quarters? barry uses them more liberally but tends to have the memes themselves catch on later, while lucretia is just so deadpan and sparse with her meme usage. sometimes shell be examining soil samples and look into the microscope and mutter “oh, worm?” and barry about loses his gd mind.  oh worm is lucretias favourite meme.

coffee on the starblaster

davenport makes coffee for the most part, nothing too fancy.  coffee, sugar,  a splash of milk if they have any.  knocks on everybody’s door when its ready and leaves the pot on so its warm whenever they get around to it.

barry makes coffee when davenport doesn’t.  essentially the same but will make it up how you like and bring it to you if you’re working/not out of bed yet if you ask.  likes flavoured creamer in place of milk.

lucretia can make coffee but she doesn’t really.  usually working in her journal/sketching/etc and is too focused to exit The Zone to put on a pot. likes hers with lots of milk and no sugar.  whipped cream appreciated. has her own special mug.

lup and taako make hell coffee.  they cut the grounds with caffeine pills and magic and put fantasy redbull in the percolator.  they have their own special grounds and nobody really knows whats in it and at this point theyre too afraid to ask. they just drink it like its nothing and will have the whole pot between the two of them every morning. one time magnus accidentally drank from lup’s mug and he just fucking died.  rip magnus burnsides.

speaking of magnus, this boy cannot make coffee to save his life.  he doesn’t put a filter in the machine.  sometimes he just puts the grounds in a mug with some water and sticks it in the microwave.  he drinks it black, grounds and all, and thinks its fine. loves the cronch.

merle highchurch has perfected the art of coffee but only for special occasions like candlenights.  its a whole production- he grinds the beans himself, has special filters made with plant fibres from back home, etc.  he makes pretty floral designs with the creamer in each mug and tops it  with garnish and whipped cream and syrup and it takes all morning.  its amazing and everybody looks forward to it.

hc that the starblasters quarters were very tight, like 3 to a room with davenport having private quarters tight. Lup immediately snatches up lucretia to room with her and taako because "women need to stick together" and "yeah he's my BROTHER but he doesn't really care" "yeah gender is totally fake, mdude." lucretia finds them overwhelming at first, but eventually finds comfort in them and their little shared space. Lup is upfront about all that, always reading to provide cuddles and (1/?)

(2/?) affirmations and maybe a mock threat if someone is bothering her (maybe smooches if that’s your thing?? it’s definitely mine). taako is much more subtle. lucretia has a stressful day and without even a word to him about it, her favorite dish is served for dinner and a plate of her favorite sweets are on their little bedroom desk. he’ll wordlessly make little twists in her hair while she’s working, and even though he acts like he’s doing her a favor, she can tell from the way he (2/?)(3/?) the way he speaks and the tension in his hands that hes coming to her to ease his stress. they have nice nights in with nail painting parties and vent sessions and bottles and bottles of exotic alcohol. Lup tucks sweet notes with little doodles in the empty pages of lucretia’s journals so she’ll find them as she works and have a little something to smile at. the twins are so tactile it throws lucretia for a bit, but eventually she finds being pulled into lup’s lap or having her deft (3/?)(4/?) hands guided into taako’s hair with the unspoken command to “do whatever” to be comforting and affirming as to how close they are. she has a habit of getting into her own head, and for a hundred years taako and lup are there to pull her out just a little with gestures that look brash but have a subtle unexpected gentleness. Lup is there after too, fresh babysoft hands playing over the new lines on lucretia’s face and cradling her hands, sore with use and new age, telling stories about(4/?)(5/5) work while lucretia files documents for her work with the bureau of benevolence. it’s never the same with taako, at his wedding receptions there’s a plate of lucretia’s old favorite thumbprint peanut cookies and her preferred champagne at the table she’s sat at, and that’s enough, she decides.

op open your door ive come to kiss you on the lipsthis all aligns so beautifully with my hcs- the only ones ive rly thought about sharing a room have been lup and taako and tbh i think all their mess would drive luce nuts but augh. AUGH. shared room and lucretia and lup girl bonding time clears my skin and lucretia and taako bonding time is so good too.  and yeah i agree with post story-and-song taako and lucretia.  no matter how much i want them to make up and be the same, its not smth i think would happen, but the little gestures are so. ghgh. clutches my heart. it would be hard to forgive what she had to do but he loves her still.  this family is going to be the death of me

DURING THE ELEVENTH HOUR WHEN TAAKO GOES BACK INTO THE DAVEY LAMP AFTER MEETING REN A FEW LOOPS BEFORE AND IS LIKE “ARE YOU-- ARE YOU REN?? LITTLE REN???” AND SHE GETS SO EXCITED REBLOG IF YOU AGREE
