This popped in my head and excuse me while I sob. He’s precious.
"millennials don't have a sense of humor," but when we joke about how Ronald Reagan's grave is a gender neutral toilet, then suddenly you're the ones who are upset???
Sounds to me like you need a sense of humor.

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes
(This post will be kept pinned & periodically updated until 28 Nov)
Lmaoooo
Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like a year:
But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:
Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)
As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.
It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂
Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.
Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.
Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.
Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.
----------------------------------------------
I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.
Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)
Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)
Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Contd from yday)
Edit 13: The music from the masterpost all compiled into a 31-minute original score with video edits on YouTube (edit: unfortunately taken down)
As of closing on Day 3 there are 371 works in the AO3 tag.

End of Day 4 there are now 485 works in the Goncharov tag on AO3
----
Didn't get to update this on Day 5, so these are the Day 5 doings:
More trailers!
I also just found out about the Goncharov Game Jam.
It appears this opened a day after after the meme took off? It also says: "The deadline has been pushed back one week, to December 4, 2022, due to the US Thanksgiving holiday and greater-than-expected interest."
Goncharov was first entered into Wikipedia between Day 4 and 5 (attempts to vandalise it with fake info don't count, incidentally – please knock that shit off) under List of Internet Phenomena. This was then expanded into its own Wikipedia page at the end of Day 5 because, according to the talk history: "the topic now meets the notability threshold for its own artice due to significant coverage in The New York Times and other sources cited." We're on Wikipedia, people!
And then we made The Guardian half a day later. So while the meme is definitely dying down to embers by now, it still stays winning.
YouTube channels with episodes on the meme:
End of Day of 5 there were 511 works on AO3, and End of Day 6 (today) there are 556.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 from Martin Scorsese's daughter's TikTok (real actual):
We did it you guys!
THE OWL HOUSE SPOILER WARNING!!
So… I have a theory about these two.
People keep talking about how Flapjack and this yellow cardinal are both Caleb and Evelyn’s palismen. Some say yellow belonged to Caleb, and Flapjack belonged to Evelyn. Well, I think it’s the other way around in my opinion. For it was hinted at in “Thanks to Them” Flapjack was a gift to Caleb from Evelyn. So my proposal is this:
The yellow cardinal was Caleb’s gift to Evelyn. He made them as as either a “wedding proposal” gift (instead of a ring), or just as a thank you gift for her being so kind to him. Either way, if this is true, notice this:
Caleb was gold/yellow color coordinated.
The cardinal he gifted to Evelyn was yellow.
Evelyn was red color coordinated.
Flapjack is a red cardinal.
The two had palismen that reflected each other’s partner.
Caleb’s gift was a thank you to Evelyn for letting him be a witch.
Evelyn’s gift was to show how much she cared for him.
And to really hit the point home.
Cardinals mate for life.
The two were soulmates.
And their palismen reflected each other’s love for one another.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
Okay, guys. I need to consult the hivemind.
I'm absolutely torn on which spouse is the Clawthorne. Is it Dell or Gwendolyn? Because honestly IT COULD BE EITHER ONE OF THEM?
Evidence for Dell: 1) Has a very Calebesque nose. 2) Is a palismen carver, which is significant since the Clawthornes are known for that. 3) Has the yellow cardinal palisman.
Evidence for Gwendolyn: 1) Has Clawthorne hair (it's similar to Evelyn's). 2) She has the same raggedy fur lining to her clothing as Evelyn (at least it looks fairly similar to her clothes in the fuzzy Hollow Mind portraits). 3) Shares the Clawthorne woman naming convention (Edalyn, Evelyn, Gwendolyn) 4) Her great-grandmother "knew of a human in Bonesborough, but he vanished." This was referring to Philip, but...it's interesting that she is the one who knew some Wittebane lore.
I'm starting to think Gwendolyn is the Clawthorne, and Dell married into the family. He could have easily became a palismen carver and received the yellow cardinal palisman after marrying Gwen.
Either that, or something strange is going on that we are totally not catching.
I don't know. I'm torn. Please feel free to theorize and discuss. I'd love to hear your thoughts, or you may provide additional evidence if I missed anything!
can you tell which one of us is hikaru (´｡• ω •｡`)
this is such an angsty moment but toh twitter’s memes are killing me 💀
gale’s death isn’t funny because it’s sad and it fucked up jesse for life but also it is EXTREMELY funny because the whole reason gale got wrapped up in this mess is he got gus’s gay little chemistry scholarship and was so good at fucking idk vacuum distillations that gus recruited him to be his special little meth consultant and assigned him to be walt’s new partner. then gale fell in love with this abusive salt lamp of a man to the point where he recited poetry to him and gave him a fruity little present, only to promptly be fired because walt couldn’t go six minutes without psychologically tormenting jesse and then he gets fucking shot in the face by this very psychologically tormented baggy t-shirt boy who is sobbing and crying the whole time?? in his own home?? in his own little gay sandals?? fucking unbelievable.
