The Trickster meme originates from the 'Forsaken' expansion of the video game Destiny 2, featuring a character named Araskes, a Scorned Baron known for her traps and illusions. The template uses her dramatic title card from the game's intro sequence. It became a viral reaction image used to describe situations where someone executes a small, often petty, act of deception or a clever 'hack' to get their way. It is frequently used to highlight moments of smug satisfaction after a minor bamboozle, making it a staple for social media users who want to joke about their own mischievous behavior.
