I’ve noticed recently that I keep mentioning formal wear for some characters in my recent stories. So I’ve drawn out exactly what I’m picturing when I write it. Partially for my own reference, partially to share.
I have only finished Hiccup and Stoick so far, but I’ll be adding them to this post as I finish them.

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME
@caesarianconfection
I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But this… This is something else.
The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?
….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)
“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)
I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.
average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted
it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics
I was getting a political compass vibe too
tag urself im man door hand hook car gun
This works better than I thought it would.
This was in my senior project
I’m not sorry.

THIS FUCKING THREAD I’M GONNA CRY
I LOST IT AND MAN DOOR HAND HOOK CAR GUN AND DIDN’T EXPECT MORE I’M SOBBING
M E M E T E N
W o w
You know I had to
I hope you know this is the most cursed addition to my post, and I love it
THIRTEEN!?
SOMEONE EDIT THIS FROM THE ORIGINAL PHOTO SAYING “this one does not spark joy” TO THIS VERSION SAYING “this one sparks joy”
well i added my contribution : )
why—
IM SCREAMING
This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.
“You’re in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?” “Oh yeah, sure.” “Can you explain it to me?” “I absolutely fucking cannot.”
One does not simply explain this
Edit:
Another freaking layer!!!
16 motherfucking layers
In the future someone’s going to ask me to explain this and I’m going to be at a loss.jpg for words
I’m not reblogging this because I want to. I’m reblogging this because sometimes you’re a witness to history whether you want to be or not, and you have to embrace that.
GUYS STOP!! IF WE CONTINUE ON THIS ROAD, THE MEME WILL BECOME TOO POWERFUL!
No keep going, let’s see if we can brake tumblr. If we do let’s use it to brake fb and twitter
You’re chaotic neutral I love it

I love going through the notes of this and seeing my 16 layer version and 24 layer version circulating.
ive added my end of the chaos
Beautiful
@lowkeyjustvibing what the fuck did you just reblog?
I don’t fishing know
Has this been done yet?
had to contribute to tumblr history
Oh my god this is tumblr history
oh my god my mutuals are doing this too
Yes we are✨
my hand slipped oop
fool i posted my meme before you
oh okay then-
someone-
I dare some one to keep going.
I couldn’t scroll past this and not make an addition 😂
Thank you 😝🤣
i spent half an hour on this addition hope y’all are happy
My humble contribution
I made one
This was a journey, and I’m glad I got to experience it
I am sorry to say but the train named,“Last Remnant of my Sanity”, has officially left the station.
The sheer power of this thread has me quaking
I’ve reached rockbottom and here we are
Ok but I need someone who can actually make a meme to add on but do the Thor ragnorak meme where tumble is Hela and she’s like you can’t defeat me and Thor is that first original plane white meme and he says I know but he can and the fire guy is the most recent one. Thanks
you ask and you shall receive
I’m so glad this made it to my dashboard
So I decided to contribute as well…
I love how by the last ones the meme is almost unrecognizable in the layers
34 💖💖💖
We must never let this end
There are, SO MANY LAYERS to this meme, and I’m going to add more of them by fusing a few of the deepest memes I’ve seen so far XD
The memes here come from the following chains, starting from the bottom right:
This current chain with 35 layers before this.
This chain with 27 layers. By @cerbi-my-babyyyyy
This other chain with 35 layers. By @gay-girl-thing
This particular chain with 28 layers. By @thewintercavalier
Another chain with 27 layers. By @be-gay-cause-crime
This particular chain with 29 layers. By @theforgowolf
Yet another chain with 27 layers. By @thefirstjackal
And this last chain with 29 layers, yet again. @memermemedout
I wonder, how many layers does this meme have now with this fusion of memeceptions, 28, 36 or 43?
here you go

i am massively overdue for a very very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy
reblog to give prev a very good week where not a single bad thing happens and everything is easy
Reblog to give prev the power to write their fanfiction
Reblog to give prev the TIME to write their fanfiction
Reblog to give prev the hocus focus to write their fanfiction.
Reblog to give prev the energy to write their fanfiction
please god let chatgpt die out like nfts did. With a fast and graceless fall into irrelevancy
Like to charge, reblog to cast.
Casting with all my might
saw this being debated and just wanted to talk about it too.
"is it rude if I politely ask a writer if they use ai or chatgpt on their works because I'm almost certain they do?"
yes, it is rude. no matter how polite you are being when you ask them this.
you say you are almost certain. so you are not absolutely certain.
unless you are absolutely, undoubtedly certain — with actual proof — that their writing is ai generated, never ever ask an artist if their work is ai generated.
I know several writers who would stop writing and delete all of their works if they were ever accused of using ai. so it doesn't matter if you are polite when you ask them this, you are suggesting that their works are ai generated, that they didn't create the works they could have spent hours, days, weeks, months or years working on.
ai and chatgpt are trained on real humans' works, they are trained to mimic the way real humans write. so if you say a genuine writer's work "looks ai", I'm gonna have to ask you what you think ai was trained on.
a writer whose English isn't their first language may also write in a way that "looks ai" to some, if they write in English and have to rely on translator.
using em dash isn't a sign of ai. I do it all the time. my fellow writers all love em dash.
having long paragraphs with "overly described scenes" isn't a sign of ai. I do it all the time, and so do my fellow writers.
all the "ai signs" are actually just what most writers actually do. they get mistaken for "ai signs" because sometimes the way writers write or describe a scene in a fanfic or an original work is different than the way people talk or text. because they're writing a fic and describing a scene, not chatting with a friend. the way I talk is different than the way I write my fics.
if you suspect a work was ai generated, but are not 100% sure, you can always just stop reading said work without saying anything.
if someone does use ai to write, they will either a.) deny and continue using ai to write or b.) admit because they see nothing wrong with it and continue using ai to write.
if a genuine writer was wrongly accused of using ai, they may stop writing altogether.
asking a writer if they use ai or chatgpt to write will always do more harm than good. witch hunting will always do more harm than good.
you are not "fighting against ai" by throwing around such accusations. you are harming genuine writers and artists.
It isnt an accusation. Its a fucking question. One that protects the very communities and artists that this post claims to defend.
all of the fanfic writers, whom I personally know, say the same thing that they would feel discouraged and might delete all their works if they were asked this.
it’s not “hey do you like x or y” question. it’s a subtle implication that your work looks like it was written by a robot within a minute. if you personally don’t find that offensive, that’s cool. but I know a lot of writers do. and they have the rights to be discouraged by it.
also we are talking about fanfic writers who write as their hobby, getaway or safe place, writers whose works you read for free. not writers who sell their works and are making profit from what they write. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything.
This just came across my dash. I'm going to be blunt.
Asking a writer or artist if they “use AI” is an accusation, no matter how you dress it up. It’s not neutral. It implies you think their effort, style, or voice is artificial. It implies that their human work doesn’t look human enough for you.
You don’t protect the community by policing people who are actually creating from scratch. You protect it by supporting human creators, reporting confirmed AI misuse when there’s evidence, and learning the difference between this sounds different than what I’d write and this is machine-generated.
Writers—especially fanfic authors—already pour their time, emotion, and identity into what they share for free. They don’t owe anyone proof of authenticity on top of that. And if your question makes someone want to quit writing, it’s not protecting the community. It’s shrinking it.
If you’re not 100% sure, just scroll. AI ethics don’t need to turn into public inquisition season.
“And if your question makes someone want to quit writing, it’s not protecting the community. It’s shrinking it.”

trans women should not have to be sexy to you for you to respect them. Aaaaaand post
Peak trans woman experience is knowing you can remove the word trans from any sentence about our struggle and everyone will easily recognize it as a true and valid battle against patriarchy. But the moment trans is inserted back and we get radio silence from half the people who would otherwise agree. If we're lucky.
being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something
Hello nonblack reader of this post, I think you ought to share this one so that you and your peers can actively remind yourselves 1) of how your Black peers feel when you tolerate antiblack racism in your art spaces for entertainment and 2) that we notice it, but don't believe it is secure around enough of you to bring it up 🙏🏾
NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.
I need help y'all...
So one of my roommates is planning a party at our apartment that he's planning to provide "drinks and weed" at (actual quote from the poster he sent to the department group chat when he invited everyone)
Fun fact: weed is completely illegal in the state we live in
Bonus points: he didn't ask any of his roommates about if we'd be okay with this party happening until 15 min after he invited people (I only know this because my friends and I happen to run in a similar circle to him - we're in the same major/department)
More bonus points: our lease has a "no party policy" detailed in it, where it also specifies that the consequence for violating this part of the lease is eviction
One more fun fact: the group chat he sent the invite too has at least 6 mandated reporters (employed by our university in some capacity, employed by high school marching bands, current student teachers)
My original plan was to just go to our department chair and report the illegal stuff, since idk what else to do and I don't want to get in trouble if the cops were to get called. Not to mention my cat lives in that apartment.
But that professor isn't available to talk until this afternoon. Do I go to a different professor that I mildly trust, or wait?
Any advice would be helpful, I'm kind of stuck and am afraid of this plan getting back to this roommate. In a previous apartment, he threatened one of my close friends that also lived with us over being asked to leave the bathroom fan on after he showered. I'm scared of what he might do in retaliation.
Update: The party was canceled before I was able to go speak to a professor today. Though a friend and I are planning to go speak with a professor together about this situation anyway today. Mostly because we need to make sure that professor is aware of not just this but other things that have happened with this person, regarding freshmen and him pressuring other people into doing things they can't or don't want to. Especially one instance that could have killed my friend if she had ended up giving in.
And we all travel about 3 hours to a conference at the end of October that he goes to as well. Where one of said things occurred last year. We want to make sure our faculty advisor that goes with us is aware of this happening, because we aren't sure that he is.
I am still scared when it comes to living with this person, but as of right now, I don't have a choice. I can't move until right before Christmas because this is my last semester of classes. I was lucky to be able to move in to this place when I found out my previous lease was not able to be renewed.
Don't say when, say "if".
Instead of telling a little girl "When get a boyfriend when you're older", tell her, "If you get a boyfriend when you're older."
Don't tell a boy "When you want to date later in life", tell him, "If you want to date later in life."
Instead of telling a teen "When you start experimenting with things in college", them, "If you start experimenting with things in college."
Don't tell your preteen "When you start having sex as an adult", tell them, "If you start having sex as an adult."
Don't tell them when. Don't pressure them to go on a predefined path.
Tell them 'if'.
reblog to share this around . please .

Just tested this and it’s a real search result on duckduckgo. I reported it for phishing and you can too!
I really want that people who use Gen AI for writing their fanfiction to keep tagging their stuff as AI generated, of course. So that I can stay the fuck away from reading that shit.
But at the same time, every time I see the Gen AI tag on AO3, them declaring it so nonchalantly, it enrages and disgusts me so bad. How can they not be ashamed to openly use AI to write their fucking fanfiction???
But alas, like I said I don't want them to stop tagging it as written with AI. At the very least I want to be warned so I don't engage with their slop.
I love the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless.
You look at the two of them side by side and think “oh the human tamed this dragon he must be the responsible smart one”
You would think that wouldn’t you. But No
It’s actually the dragon that’s the responsible one. No no listen okay listen
That dragon is always dragging hiccup out of trouble. That boy was silenced and shunned most of his life for being himself. Now that being himself is okay and actually encouraged, he’s taking 15 years of repressed hyperactivity and making up for lost time.
Toothless saw this skinny human come back again and again. That had the audacity to actually try and touch him. And was like ‘oh no. He’s so stupid… he’s mine now’
And hiccup in that same moment was ‘awesome! New friend :) and this one won’t tell me to shut up when I ramble :))’
And it went down hill from there.
