You're making an equation between Trickster and liar that I really don't think exists. There's a difference between Trickster mythology and people that pull tricks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel kinda...left out. But in a good way.
Ha, me too.
I almost fell over though when I saw that Raq and Victor had friended him though.

Don't know if I'm making an equation. I'm considering whether mythology can be a way to understand real life people. I do know that there are attempts to classify people according to mythological types. You are probably right that it has no more validity than a lot of those incredibly stupid personality classification tests many HR departments use.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I'm glad I was forewarned by reading about it here first, because that friend request would have dropped my jaw if I'd run across it later today while performing Facebook-y job tasks.

Yup. t edit I reported him as a sockpuppet, too.

Eh. People aren't mythological. Perhaps it could be useful in a large anthropological sense, but really -- people are more (and less) complex than mythological archetypes.
Sometimes an asshole is just an asshole.
