people always seem to headcanon Lup as the older twin, but here I submit that Taako is actually older. for one thing, i think Justin auto-plays characters as The Oldest Sibling because that’s where he’s coming from, but within the story itself, Taako…

• grabs Lup’s hand to get them the fuck outta there when the Hunger hits the animal planet; Lup wants to stay and fight but Taako is nope’ing for them both
• quickly volunteers himself and Lup to destroy the crystal on the robot planet – a very Older Sibling thing to do
• gives love advice to Lup’s future boyfriend
• so much of The Best Day ever involves him cooking for Lup / taking care of her in a very older sibling way
• his reaction to finding out Lup was gonna become a lich strikes me as very big brothery. he was extremely nervous for her but hid it so she wouldn’t worry, and supported her right to make the decision despite his fears

anyway, obviously they’re twins and it’s a kind of a moot point, but so many people headcanon Lup as being the more put-together, responsible twin, even though Taako spends most of their on-air time together feeding and looking after her lol. I have the sense that pre-stolen-century, Lup would stumble home late at night after starting several bar fights and Taako would be like “have you drank enough water?”
