The world of fiction isn't always a kind one. Sure, there are fantastical tales of love, success, and maybe even magic. But there are also some really screwed-up fictional universes, in which suffering is more common than merely existing. I, for one, didn't understand how anyone could even play pretend without inflicting a world of pain on any of the characters. People were dying in my world, sometimes worse. And you can bet your bottom dollar that orphans were more plentiful than kids with lov…

F*ck off

Does anybody enjoy reality these days? As an enthusiast of science fiction media, I find a strangely exciting solace in sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, and video games. Space, extraterrestrials, advanced technology, futuristic scenarios - it's all preferable to, say, sitting at my desk in this particular hellscape. If you're feeling similarly, we suggest you gather 'round and feast your eyes on a plethora of memes that delve deep into these beloved topics. Undoubtedly, sci-fi has emerged as one…

While most products come in various sizes, some things are just meant to be consumed in bulk: Netflix shows, Costco's entire inventory, and Cheese Balls . I have never seen Cheese Balls in a compact container in my life. Every Cheese Ball in the world is in an absurdly large package that I cannot conceptualize being practical for anyone. How long does it take a family to eat one industrial-sized box of Cheese Balls? I can't imagine they could finish it in less than two months. Maybe that's by d…

Don't be like this

What did he do wrong?

There are SO many easter eggs in both universes that connect to each other, it's insane.

This has been a rough week for Harry Potter fans, to say the least. Our beloved Robbie Coltrane, the man who brought Hagrid to life as only he could, died this past Friday. It is always sad to see one of the great actors that shaped Harry Potter pass on. Far too many cast members of the Harry Potter movies have gone far too soon in the 21 years since the first film came out. It was always surprising to fans that out of all of Harry's father figures, Hagrid was one of the ones to survive the ser…

Tbh both sides have very convincing arguments...

One of the greatest mysteries of my life has been a question I'm sure all of us have asked: “what does butterbeer taste like?” This is. That is why I recently marched myself down to the Harry Potter store and spent 12 whole American dollars on a foamy butterbeer. Nobody had ever described what it tasted like to me, so I went in cold.

What up, y'all? We're back with another edition of Tolkien Tuesday , which I almost forgot to wriet because I have a small brain that doesn't adapt well to things like three day weekends and/or having time off for national holidays. That shiz messes my schedule up. Anyway. I didn't completely forget, so here we are now, ready to enjoy some incredibly stupid and moderately funny memes inspired by and using stills from the Lord of the Rings . While most LOTR memes we come across these days stick…

Demon Slayer is a popular Japanese manga series by Koyoharu Gotouge, and it's one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 2019, a two-season anime television adaptation of the manga called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba was released in Japan and made its way to American audiences via Adult Swim that same year. The story follows protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, a teenager who aspires to become a demon slayer after his family is tragically killed by invading demons, except for his younger sis…
