As we get closer to Halloween, it's fun to indulge in all that spooky content. These comics from War and Peas definitely fit that bill. The comics follow Death (The Grim Reaper) as he goes about daily life and his, um, work commitments. The result is an irreverent and clever spin on a character we're supposed to fear. If you like what you see, show 'em some love on Instagram or Patreon.
Death
We're huge proponents of leaning into ones' dark side - even when the world isn't quite as shitty as it is now. These memes offer up a healthy dose of misery, edge, and morbidity that will resonate with anyone who lets their negative energy shine. It's exhausting to pretend to be happy. Give yourselves a break. You deserve it.
Warning: Do not proceed to these excruciatingly sad and sappy posts if struggling with the effects of PMS. Most of these tearjerker images are comics about losing someone special, usually a dog. For some reason the concept of losing an animal is really all it takes to bring on our high-pressure waterworks. So make sure you're sitting down and somewhere safe when you scroll through these bittersweet and depressing memes.
We don't usually expect to get all teary-eyed from a Tumblr writing prompt, but we definitely appreciate surprises. This particular prompt imagines a situation in which Death decides to offer a game in exchange for our protagonist's life. Dungeons and Dragons, a game that can be endless, is quickly chosen. We follow their years-long journey and by the end the sappiness is supreme.
There's been a lot of talk about Bong Joon-Ho's Oscar-winning Parasite, but this true and incredibly disturbing story kind of trumps it. Horror writer Grady Hendrix shared a chilling tale back in October about innocent food-sneaking gone incredibly wrong. Kids are known for sneaking around, and one night when Hendrix intended to sneak-eat his family's leftovers, he discovered a strange man in his kitchen consuming the contents of the family fridge. It doesn't stop there. His family didn't believe him, but later, some disturbing proof of his "run-in" comes to light. And we are not envious of the experience.
Gamers rejoice - Apex Legends just came out with season 4 on the game's one-year anniversary today! This meme, known as "What The Hell Are You? Death" features characters Marcos Andrade and the Revenant mercenary.
And In case you can't yet get your hands on a copy of the game, have some memes via Know Your Meme to pass the time by!
Damn, of all the things you could and should fake your own death for, LulaRoe apparel is not one of them.
If you're not familiar with the pyramid scheme that is LulaRoe, then first of all, you're a lucky bastard. But in all seriousness, we've got you covered with copious examples of total LulaRoe fails.
In this wild ride of a story, a woman named Jennifer was apparently really desperate for a free LulaRoe dress called an "Amelia." So desperate, in fact, that she felt it appropriate to fake her own death in a Facebook group and get caught up in a whole web of lies. Yeah, we're confused about it too...
Ever wonder why family photos from the past make everyone seem older than they are? You're not alone. The same idea seemed to stump Twitter user Brandon McCarthy, who took to social media to find out WTF is up with the phenomenon. Other people quickly chimed in with photos of actors, musicians, and professional sports players who looked far older than their years. We may have plastic surgery and fillers on our side, but it's more likely that better skincare and less cigarette smoking are helping us out in old age. Whatever it is, these photographs are definitely making us feel better about our wrinkles and imperfections.
