“A collection of common glyphs of the poorly understood Memeorite civilization of the Second Silicon Age. Memeorite glyphs possess multiple conflicting interpretations and a complexity of meaning impossible to capture in a few short words. These are rough translations only.”

I love how my dash rn is like a remix of the last 100 most popular meme formats but this time they’re all about the boat stuck in the Suez Canal

when a giant cargo container gets stuck in an egyptian canal blocking off 10% of world trade, everyone is like "wow that sucks I guess," but tumblr users pounce like rabid wolves on that shit like

reaction pics everyone will still understand even with the text removed

there really is nothing like that sense of dash unity. when everyone on your dashboard is reblogging the same 10 posts about the same topic and you’re all making jokes that you won’t understand 24 hours from now. not to get sentimental over…whatever this is but it’s nice. would prefer it to not be over walmart omegaverse sex but like you can’t always get what you want

Tags Masterlist

Here you’ll find the main tags I used during my data collection. Note that this blog contains other memes, collected for a previous work and by personal interest. The memes collected for my Master’s thesis are all tagged #thesis data. The tags presented in the list below were used in order to organise the data collected for my thesis. This list is likely to be modified.

Types of source:

I decided to focus on only three types of visual “sources”.

#random/stock (random pictures and stock images)

#movie/anime screenshot (encompass movies, TV shows, Anime)

#video source (for example Vines and Youtube videos)

Type of meme:

These types often overlap with one another and are subject to change.

#objectlabelling

#subchange

#blank filling

#redraw

#decomposed

#reaction/explanation pic (this tag was abandoned quickly since the memes are almost always used in reaction)

#maybe (this tag is used for images or memes that might or might not fit in my work)
