the mishapocalypse (or, why i still have ‘misha’ entered in tumblr savior)
“i have lost the ability to can”

endlessly looped zooming gifs on colin morgan’s face on doctor who with the text “IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE”
the whovian fandom making fun of hipster blogs for reblogging out-of-context dw stuff

people calling david karp their dad and then he sold us
the “in that moment i swear we were infinite” quote from perks of being a wallflower used everywhere until it reached meme status
“there are two kinds of people”
repeating a funny comment on a post in all caps
everyone HATED cole sprouse
