Forgot about the part in The Suffering Game where Justin describes Taako thinking of Magnus and Merle as "these clowns that have fixed onto him, barnacle-like, as he tries to save the earth." It's just something about the way Taako, for all the "good out here," half-seriously thinks of himself as the planet-saving hero, and Magnus and Merle as his sidekicks. The way he tries to fully pin the blame for the three of them being joined at the hip onto anyone but Taako himself. I love the way that Taako makes quip to completely brush off how much the other boys mean to him bleeds into Justin talking about their dynamic too. I love them so much.
taako, upon being told that the only options were to abandon the world to the hunger or to let lucretia cast her barrier and destroy the world's connections:

The Adventure Zone is so funny with regard to the boys’ interactions with Clint because sometimes they’re like “what do you think Daddy?” or “whoa Daddy that was so cool!” and other times it’s “I’ve told you this so many times old man you have a microphone, if you yell again I’m evicting you”
