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?
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)
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’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.

WHEN YOU WIPE AWAY THEIR KISS.
― izuku, shoto, bakugou x gn!reader
cw. grammar errors probably
notes. thank you so much! this is overdue, and i'm sorry but i only did the main three <3
―― IZUKU made sure to greet you with a kiss each time you meet each other, he may be a bit hesitant in public (― he doesn't want to overstep boundaries) but he never does so when you're alone / in private. as usual, he kisses you when you open your door for him to come inside. “i bought you some―” he stops speaking when he notices you brush your hand over your lips, tilting his head as he asks, “what's wrong?” you shake your head and take the bag he was holding, dropping it onto a chair as you sink into your bed, “it's nothing, why?”
he pouts while he wracks his brain for a reason as to why you basically wiped away his kiss, he blurts, “you wiped away my kiss!” you disagree at once, “no i didn't!” “...okay,” he muses after a long silence, wondering if he just hallucinated that or if you were lying and you actually did wipe away his kiss. he sits on the edge of the bed and leans over to kiss you again, frowning and mumbling incoherent words when you wipe away his kiss, again. “see! you did it again!”
he leans over again and presses kisses all over your face, “stop wiping away my kisses!” he whines in between, giggling. pulling away, he watches dumbfounded as you literally wipe your hand over you face. you catch his eye and laugh at his expression, “it's just a prank 'zuku!” he crosses his arms over his chest like a toddler who didn't get what he wanted, and huffs, “you're so mean sometimes.” but he still leans in to kiss you again.
―― SHOTO is the most confused out of all, he doesn't get it, even after you tell him it's a prank he's just confused as to what you get out of wiping away his kisses. while you were seated on the couch, watching something random on tv, he goes to press a quick kiss on your lips with a small smile. he all but frowns when you wipe it away just as fast as he had given it. “love? why'd you wipe away my kiss?” he asks with a curious tint in his eyes.
“oh, sorry,” you apologize, “your lips are dry.” nodding, he stands up and goes to the corner of the room leaving you looking at his back in confusion. he rummages in a drawer and pulls out a chapstick and you have to keep a hand over your mouth to stop yourself from laughing at his actions.
after he comes back and sits in the place he was before, he points at his lips, “it's probably fine now,” he tells you, leaning in.
when he pulls away, he frowns again when he sees you wipe your mouth, again! “do i need more chapstick?” he asks innocently, with a tilt of his head.
“no! it's fine now,” you say.
“then why did you wipe it off again?” he questions, this time a little more impatient than he was before.
“it's just a prank!” you exclaim, full on laughing when he stares at you before he shakes his head.
―― BAKUGOU always greets you with a kiss on the cheek when he comes to your dorm to hang out, so when you rubbed your hand against your cheek― the exact spot he kissed, he quirks an eyebrow, shaking his head and choosing to ignore that. “hey idiot,” he mumbles, closing the door behind him and taking off his shoes by the doorway.
he walked over to the bed and sat down like it was his own, patting the space beside him, rolling his eyes. it doesn't take long for him to try and kiss you again, only to squint at you like a grandpa without his glasses when you wipe it off once more.
he continues to pretend he doesn't notice but the third time you do it, he's so annoyed. “okay, what the hell?”
“what?” you reply 'innocently'.
“why the hell do you keep wiping away my kisses?”
“i don't?” you pretend to be confused. he scoffs in annoyance, before pulling you flush against his chest and glaring at you. he leans down and captures your lips in a kiss, pulling away after a few seconds and staring intently at you, waiting for your next move.
he sees no signs of you going to wipe it away, and so, lets his grip around you fall and goes back to scrolling through his phone. he's still watching you with the corner of his eye, and he feels his hands spark with small explosions when you wipe it off again.

-----
Where was his boyfriend? He knew it was hard on him that he couldn’t patrol and was limited to paperwork.
“Deku! Where are you? I bought home katsudon!”
Katsuki hoped his favorite food would bring him happiness but was met with silence. He checked his two bathrooms, and the three bedrooms.
No Deku.
Where was he?
“Deku? Where the fuck are you? I’ve looked everywhere!”
Katsuki thought his boyfriend would be in the apartment complex’s pool, roof, or the gym. Izuku was nowhere to be found. He was met with his voicemail and was not with his friends or at the local stores he visited often.
________
“Deku! Where were you? I couldn’t reach you when you said you would be home”
Katsuki exclaimed with worry about the other.
“Kacchan! I left my phone at home and went for a walk... I’m sorry I made you worry.”
Izuku answered with melancholy in his voice.
“...Don’t apologize, Nerd I was just worried about you. I bought you katsudon, do you want to eat together?”
“No. I’m okay... I just want to sleep but I’ll eat it later since I grabbed fast food outside! Thank you Kacchan. I appreciate the gesture”
He smiled concealing his unhappiness for the past few months. He went to their shared bedroom after washing his hands and changing into sweats.
Katsuki trusted the pro-hero but has never heard him reject his favorite food. It was obvious he was facing dejection over his current situation.
Izuku has been sleeping more. It started with him sleeping in until the afternoon. When he suggested they take morning jogs instead of running, he became irritable. The last thing he wanted to do was go against their medical team's instruction.
When the two went out and encountered small-fry villains, Izuku was pushed to the side as Katsuki stalled until on-duty heroes arrived on the scene.
He knew it wasn’t easy for Izuku.
_______
“Bakubro! How’s Midoriya?”
How was he? Katsuki watched the dejection in his face when he went down to number two. He watched the other keep the majority of his thoughts to himself.
Hero Deku was the number two hero.
Japan expected him to go back into action after one or two months but it extended to six. It was dangerous for his life to go back to saving lives and fighting villains. The world missed him.
“He’s the same. I- I don’t know how to comfort him since rankings came out”
Katsuki confessed while at lunch with Kirishima.
“The same? I know he took it hard but... I would have expected him to come back to patrolling at the least”
“Shitty Hair, It’s not like that. Deku can patrol but it’s unlikely that he can work at the volume he did before. The agency reached out and he insisted that he needs more time even though our doctors said he could.”
The two’s conversation about the hero dwindled to the daily happenings of each other’s life. It was hard to discuss Izuku. His friends couldn’t bear to hear that he wasn’t doing well.
_______
Katsuki had left for a mission. It was estimated to take months if it went smoothly. He was never the best with words but told his boyfriend to take care of himself properly.
Izuku was relieved when he had to leave. His mind felt fogged. Katsuki and his friends persistently asked him how he was but had no choice but to lie. When he was stressed he would work. Izuku loved working as a hero but it was simply impossible.
It’s your fault
You can only blame yourself
Uraraka, Todoroki, and his other friends reached out but it was meaningless. He insisted he was busy cleaning up the apartment and couldn’t hang out.
His plans were already made.
Izuku was going to end his life. People would love and miss him, but that didn’t matter. His feelings of despair overpowered any common sense.
He knew Katsuki would be devastated but that didn’t matter. The world was going to be left in the right hands. They had a new number one hero who wasn’t injured.
Izuku knew his place. It was pointless to exist if he was going to live this way.
He went to their home office and wrote out notes. Katsuki’s letter was the longest and hardest to write. It was left under his pillow to find when he returned to Japan. His friends and family’s notes were scattered over his desk. He knew they would be shocked and shattered hearing the news but It was meaningless to stop him.
_______
Izuku figured pills were the best way out. The sounds of people were muted in his apartment. It was his final moments and he didn’t want to back out. What was the point of living if this was his life? Katsuki would be happier without him. The blonde showed his grave concern in the past few months.
It was time.
He took medicine that Katsuki never threw out and took it with his strong pain relievers.
Izuku chose a rainy day to terminate his life and he was relieved. He wasn’t sure how many pills he took but his skin was cold. His breathing became shallow and started to regain and lose consciousness a few times.
He laid on his couch conscious of the symptoms of an overdose he was experiencing but that was the least of his concerns.
Izuku's thoughts were on Katsuki. He thought of his last memories with him. He missed his mother’s homemade katsudon and his boyfriend promised to make it for him.
Would he bring the ingredients the day he came back from the airport?
No. Katsuki would make it the day after. He was always exhausted and went straight to bed after coming home from a long day.
Izuku would miss that. He would miss his boyfriend’s affection. The cooking, head pats, forehead kisses, and constant love that he would get.
They had a good relationship. He was astounded at the blonde's growth in life and had only love for him. Katsuki was the first person he fell in love with, and the last he would love.
He turned over on the couch to see his boyfriend smiling back at him. He smiled back before realizing it was a hallucination.
Izuku turned back to the ceiling feeling content with the life he had. He knew he had the greatest friends, parental figures, and the best boyfriend. He was paralyzed and scared to move. It felt hard to breathe and soon lost consciousness
His last thoughts were of his friends, family and in the forefront of his mind, Katsuki.
_______
Katsuki came back from his mission as soon as possible. He stopped by the grocery store to buy ingredients for Izuku’s favorite dish. If anyone was at the airport, he dashed past them and went straight home. He wanted to be with his loved one.
He looked forward to the joy on Izuku’s face when he got his mothers exact recipe.
The apartment door was open. It was odd since Katsuki didn’t alert the other that he was coming home. When he entered he saw his friends stand in the middle of his living room.
Where the fuck was Izuku?
“Bakugo.. You should sit down before you hear the news..”
He was perplexed on what they wanted to tell him but he complied and sat at the edge of the couch before hearing the eye-opening information that Izuku passed away overdosing on pills while he was gone.
