Random tweets, games, bumper stickers, anime, your toddler, etc.—sometimes you just get smacked in the face with words when you least expected it.

Tumblr's hey days are long gone, but this TikToker is reminding people why it used to be Internet gold and still can be.

Being a Harry Potter fan isn't the easiest these days. It's true that I have fond memories of blasting through ever long book, waiting in line for releasees at Barnes & Noble, and even joining a sorting community on LiveJournal. Even as a proud Ravenclaw, I take great issue with JK Rowling's incredibly vocal stance on trans women. Instead of abstaining from the series altogether, we prefer to enjoy Harry Potter-related content that comes from other sources - namely, meme makers and Twitter user…

Think of something. Anything, really. There's probably a fanfiction about or featuring whatever popped into your mind. For example, we just googled “coffee table fanfiction” and got some ludicrous results involving a character named Lamp and his lover, Hamegg. And that's nowhere near the strangest fanfiction we've seen over the years. As a teenager, I was partial to fan-written stories about my favorite band at the time, The Strokes. They'd get it on with the members of other bands that were po…

As a sufferer of clinical depression and the unrelenting cynicism that comes with it, it's difficult to make me smile or laugh. Sure, puppies are cute. Yes, memes are funny. But these things just don't do it for me.

Spoiler alert: Frat guys aren't all bad.

Mmmm.

Very good. Very dumb.

Have you ever found out that a guy you thought was your friend was telling people you " friend zoned " him? The situation is not uncommon. As a thirty-something year old woman, it's been an interesting time navigating the world of male/female friendships. While I have quite a few good male friends who haven't shown any sign of romantic or sexual interest , there were plenty who resented their platonic designation. I'd hear about their frustration second-hand, and question the entire basis of ou…

It is pretty easy to get sucked into the seductive world of memes with images. The bold colors. Deep frying. Cursed images. And of course, iconic human subjects. The images manage to do a lot of talking without actually talking. Just imagine the Distracted Boyfriend meme without its now-famous trio of stock photo models. Describing the comically exagerrated situation simply doesn't have the same effect. While we do love that brand of object-labeling meme, and enjoy the tweet-derived style of te…

Get your meme on.
