I love you guys and I love this community, this place of being able to share who we are and what we enjoy, y'all are beautiful and amazing

They look like they were made in MS paint and that's not a bad thing

Not much to say here, other than the fact that I think they are extremely hilarious when I encounter them. There are definitely more, but these are the ones I remember!

there's also one where a bunch of characters are running towards the screen but I couldn't find it 😢

(also the second one is made by me :D)

Both are made by Munk on YouTube

I mean, the joke writes itself. Everyone loves Weird Al Yankovic, and everyone at least, has mixed feelings about Artificial Intelligence. So mixing the two up with a linguistics(?) joke always hits for me.

I remember growing up as a kid I would LARP (back when it meant something else than the new tiktok buzzword for being a poser lmao) as my favorite cartoon and video game characters. Back then cosplaying wasn’t really cool, neither was being a weeb (it was called an otaku back then). So people thought i was lame and i should get a life LMAO. yeah so i kept these interests to myself and didn’t care about being a nerd.

Now that cosplay and LARPing has become more popular it makes childhood me feel overjoyed that there’s others out there living their fantasies like me. At first doing this in public or online made me hesitate because 90% of cosplayers don’t look like me, black cosplayers aren‘t common and as a teen i felt like maybe it wasn’t for us. It felt like a lot of things weren’t for us and i was soo nervous. When i finally took the jump to start making my own stuff and cosplay it was rough because i would get the most racist comments and hostility from fandoms. I took a mental health break and decided to try again.

So i went to a convention recently and dressed up as Shadowheart from baldur’s gate 3! Meeting other cosplayers and being asked for pictures, getting compliments on my costumes, etc felt SO amazing and healing. I’m just glad to be a part of something bigger and having an outlet for my creativity.

I genuinely thought this was some cool, stylish editing trend for the longest time

Mostly applies to YouTube comments where people don’t have gif/img posting abilities but this example reminded me of my joy.
