There are times when the internet really surprises you with its out-of-the-blue creative genius. However, this is not one of those times. These poems are terrible, but who cares because this isn't your f*cking AP high school English class and no one needs to be analyzing the symbolism behind the blue curtains.
Good news for meme-loving bookworms: Turns out that SparkNotes is more than just a helpful cramming tool. Their Instagram account is an absolute goldmine of memes combining our favorite books with shows like The Office, Arrested Development, and Parks and Rec. If you like what you see here, give 'em a follow!
Thank you, Literary Twitter for starting our new favorite hashtag challenge. The fun stems from the #OwnVoices hashtag, which addresses the voices of marginalized communities. The hashtag naturally had its critcs; among them was a male author that insisted he was living proof that men are capable of penning realistic female characters. After Gwen C. Katz shared some super-cringey passages of his proof, the challenge was born.
Women on Twitter quickly began parodying the passages, describing their most coveted features in hilarious and painfully flowery fashion. Many of these tweets show greater writing chops than we've seen in some books. While the fetishization of female characters is certainly getting old, we could read these farcical tweets all day.
Ask and you shall receive. Our last collection of sonnets from Pop Sonnets was a huge hit, so we're back with more geeky Shakespearean goodness. This iambic pentameter is off the chain.
