We've got absolutely no problem with gender fluidity. But we do have a problem with cringey design. This Tumblr thread focuses on one such example - a chart about flexible gender identity. The designer of the graphic went kind of crazy utilizing the classic male/female symbols but remixing the interior (and limbs) using male/female colors. Many Tumblr users were baffled by the imagery, and decided to illustrate the "genders" it displays. The drawings are riotously funny, while maintaining respect for people who don't fit  into one of two boxes.

Many of us grew up admiring Disney princesses like Ariel or Sleeping Beauty as little girls. It's all fine until you get older and realize just how those characters majorly play into the unrealistic beauty and behavior standards for young girls. Luckily that's getting better nowadays with newer, more progressive Disney characters like Moana and Elsa. 

Illustrator Andhika Muksin re-imagines classic Disney princesses looking a little more...human, shall we say? We're into it!

Keanu Reeves is on everyone's mind. The actor, of Matrix and John Wick fame, has joined the ranks of Steve Irwin and Robby Rotten as a wholesome hero of sorts, and is getting meme'd as such. It was only a matter of time before somebody went full Disney with this trend, and we can thank Buzzfeed's Crystal Ro for being the first brave soul to combine the two. Her illustrations subbing Keanu for classic Disney princes are pretty immaculate, and while seemingly unnecessary, endlessly entertaining. We've thrown in a few of these masterpieces, but be sure to visit Buzzfeed to see the rest of these brilliant mashups. 

Illustrator Brian Kesinger may have made a name for himself with his illustration work at Walt Disney Studios, but it's his work outside of the movie business that really gets fans going. His steampunk art has been his most successful, featuring whimsical cephalopods and frilly fashions - but our favorite series of his combines the Star Wars universe with Calvin and Hobbes.

Every student knows that reading out of a textbook is boring as sh*t. Accordingly, these students decided to "enhance" their textbook illustrations, which was certainly a terrible idea, but also hilarious and we're here for it.

And of course, we're not telling you to go out and deface your textbooks, so please don't actually do that.

Finally, thanks to Deviantartist Ry-Spirit, two of our favorite things have merged in a really sick way. Pokémon never looked so good.

It's okay to be completely mindless sometimes. There are just certain times you need to turn off your brain and dumb it up. That might mean watching stupid mukbang YouTube videos, eating a crap load of takeout food, or our favorite: viewing a whole roundup of dumb memes that don't take any IQ!
