The fact that Lockhart is younger than the Marauders always makes me giggle. Imagine Lockhart coming to Hogwarts with his fucking audacity and Sirius and James are like oh fuck no and start pranking him left and right. Lmao. What a treat.

Set Shenanigans

The sprouts witnessed Vash pranking Nai and they wanted to have a go:

After brainstorming and not agreeing on anything for a week, they saw Nai eating a salad with beetroot and joking with Legato, 'bring me more plants or else'.

So they secure Legato's enthusiastic help and he supplies them with a bunch of mason jars and whole beets. They proceed to fill Nai's trailer with water-suspended 'plants.'

The sprouts hide by the side of the trailer to get Nai's reaction. He notices them being sneaky, so he feigns being unaware as he enters, expecting a bucket of water to fall on his head or something. When he spots the jars, he lets out a boisterous belly laugh, and, to put on a good show for the sprouts' efforts, he reemerges with a jar held close to his face, cooing 'my precious' in a Smeagol voice.

He keeps them all, even though the collection mysteriously gets larger and larger. He takes photos with evil Nai poses surrounded by the jars and sends them to the kids. He names them all with a label maker. He left a note for the cleaning staff, 'Please don't touch my sisters.'

I am pondering the "how much did BJ prank Peg" question you posed...

And I 100% think he occasionally pranked her, especially when they were dating/newly married, with varying levels of sensitivity to her feelings, but I would think mostly in "socially acceptable" ways. Like faking an emergency to get her to come to a surprise party, pretending to break or ruin something important but then revealing it's fine or replaced with something better, or messing with her things a bit in that "Where are my textbooks" "Oh I took them back to my dorm, I guess you'll have to come pick them up" kind of way. Like I could see that being an attention/reassurance seeking behavior from him, based on what we see in the show.

I really can't see him being deliberately cruel before the war. After? If he was jealous and drunk and angry and at a low point? I could see him messing with her way past the point of acceptability, ignoring her feelings, making the joke on her rather than for/with her, but he has lines he won't cross. I mean, even in The Joker Is Wild, the prank is he Technically Isn't Doing Anything to Hawkeye- it's a very cruel "I'm not touching you" bit. The cruelty isn't in the actions, but in ignoring the very real and intense distress it's causing Hawkeye. I could see him passive aggressively doing things he knows are upsetting Peg because he's upset with her but justifying it as Her Problem as long as he himself doesn't think he's doing anything wrong.

Stripping away the details, I think there are three main components to TJIW:

1) Jealousy and Insecurity over a past relationship. I feel inferior to this other person you loved, and I worry you like them more than me, and I'm going to prove I'm better and embarrass you while I do.

2) Involvement of other loved ones. They're all on my side, you don't have support, you have to go along with my ideas.

3) The Gaslighting. Intentionally messing with your perception of reality, lying, making you think you're crazy, ignoring your distress.

Like those three things make the prank read as abusive to other people, and I don't think BJ is an abusive person. I think outside the context of the camp he wouldn't have the opportunity or inclination to do anything as elaborate as TJIW. But I could see him getting his or her family on his side, and at his worst messing with her relationship with Carl the Handyman or some other friendship that came into her life while he was away out of jealousy, or pranking her at work to pressure her to quit, or even messing with Erin a little if he was jealous of the closeness she had with Peg- "Oh no, it's a big scary monster! Come here Erin, Daddy will save you, don't cry." But I also think that Peg is in a much more stable place than Hawkeye was, and has more people to reach out to for advice or help, so I can't see her tolerating anything horrible for too long- and I think if she really put her foot down, he might be angry at the time but would stop, and ultimately be ashamed about it.

I don't have hatred in my heart for BJ, but in imagining "What is the worst prank he would pull on Peg and why" those were the thoughts I was having...

This is ghastly but invigorating.

I just pranked my entire family by changing their Netflix accounts, they all now have stereotypical Spanish names and squid game pfps I also made all of their audio and subtitles Spanish. Currently waiting for reactions.

When y’all were all talking in class but you’re the only one getting your house called

I know your closed but write this if you feel inspired. Lockdown is a single dad of one techno organic 5 year old child reader who is a little prankster. Swindle becomes victim to these pranks

Swindle likes Lockdown, and he likes you also, but you surely are pushing his buttons sometimes. You're 5 so you don't know many jokes, but you have this one prank you say that always makes you laugh.

Swindle is slowly turning sick of the whoopee cushions you keep sneaking on his seat just when he is about to sit down.

You laugh like crazy when he sits on one and make sure to ask why he farts like that when there are people around. Child, you're 5 years old, fart jokes should be old by now.

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

A friend of a friend just said something I have to share.

April Fool's Day, "the least consenty of all the holidays".

And they're not wrong. That is exactly why I dislike AFD in itself ("Boop Day" is cute, and isn't nearly so harmful).

Happy April Fool's HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA STULID! HAPPY APRIL!

I think they should be insufferable together. actually
