on the ipre’s plane, macarons and macaroons are switched

hear me out—

angus is confused when taako begins teaching him how to make “macaroons” because he thought that macaroons had coconut in them. taako rolls his eyes and explains that no, angus is thinking of macarons, a type of biscuit. angus doesn’t question it, because taako is the chef and taako knows best.

but he starts talking with the other bureau members and yes, all of them agree that macaroons are the coconut biscuits, and macarons are the cookie. when he confronts taako again he is told that every bureau member is wrong.

it becomes a conspiracy, akin to the mandela effect. most people on the moon base agree with angus, but taako insists that they don’t know what they’re talking about, and magnus, merle, and oddly enough, the director, all take his side.

one day angus pulls taako into some bakery and points at the labels on the cookies, looking smug. but taako doesn’t budge, saying simply that not every baker is well educated. taako then produces an old cook book published decades prior, that he’s had since he was a child. and sure enough, there is a recipe for “macaroons” that details the process of baking the merengue cookies, complete with illustrations.

angus’s wall is covered with pushpins and string connecting pictures of pastries, dictionary definitions, lists of cook book authors, and taako’s face with a bunch of question marks drawn over it.
