#perfect meme template😭

[meowzfordayz]

Sort of a crack request but could I have Kamaboko squad x modern!reader headcannons of showing them memes

Hiya! 🤗 Crack request aside, I actually really enjoyed writing this. 😂 Hope it's what you had in mind. 🤞🏽

Author’s Note: grasping the concept of “meme” took me sooo long. 😭 Wasn’t really confident even using the word until like, after high school…

what do you meme?

Kamaboko x Reader

Word Count: ~1,400

CW: explicit language

~faqs~

“You wanna show me what?”

He’s puzzled, initially

But he catches on pretty quick

Just takes a few classic memes for him to nod his head

“Oh, oh oh! These are funny!” *insert delighted clapping*

Altho

He doesn’t really understand abstract memes

—Neither do I 😐

But you can get a hearty giggle out of him if you show him funny animal memes

In fact, I feel like all of his reactions are very exaggerated, albeit 100% genuine

Show him a tragic meme? Poor sweetheart’ll literally tear up

“It’s just a meme, Zeni,” your eyebrows furrow

Is it kinda cute that he’s so deeply affected? Yesyes ☺️

Is it also kinda awkward that he’s sobbing over a highkey staged image? Yesyes 🥲

Show him a cringe meme? He’ll cover his eyes, whimpering sympathetically

“Nooooo [y/n], I feel so baaadly.”

💍 THE LORD OF THE RINGS MEME 💍

“One does not simply walk into Mordor.”

Gawd that one takes him forever and a day to comprehend

Forever and a day bc y’all end up having to binge the trilogy #extended director’s cut obvi #I haven’t watched the extended director’s cut lmao

You try to get him to read the books too, but he’s #too busy

—Tbf, I found the books somewhat cumbersome

—Should prob reread them tho

—I read them in middle school lol

Ohmygosh

He totally tries to make his own

Key word: tries

Spends hrs coming up w/ 2 sentences

Will occasionally even sleep on a particularly juicy meme idea just to ensure it’s #perfect when he finally creates it

Definitely uses meme templates

He’s just… not funny ??

Well, he’s funny in that endearing, I’m-only-laughing-bc-I-love-you/I’m-laughing-at-you way

—Have you ever tried to create a meme?

—Shit’s hard

—Or I’m just not funny

—Yeeeeah, I’m prob just not funny #oof

“[y/n], [y/n], [y/n]! Wanna laugh at my new meme ?? 😁” is how almost every date starts off now

You don’t have the heart to tell him you’re laughing at him 😅

With him, you’re absolutely laughing with him 🙃

Besides, his giddiness is infectious — his pure joy and pride endearing

Dude needs his creative outlet, yanno ??

“Thank you for being patient with me,” he mumbles, smiling up at you, head nestled in your lap

“Whaddya meme mean, Zeni?”

“I know my memes suck,” he huffs

“They do suck,” you’re blunt, adoring grin on your face 😇

He pouts, “Heyyyyy.”

Dw tho, your honesty doesn’t deter him 😬

Motivates him unfortunately to come up w/ a meme that’ll actually make you laugh (even just a chuckle, a smile, a slight curve of your mouth, would be plenty)

I can’t decide whether he succeeds or not

Prob not 🤪

Debating between Inosuke being God of Memes

Or Inosuke not giving a single fuck about memes

Idk if he has the patience to appreciate meme culture

Likely takes them too literally

“Inosuke, check this out!” you pass him your phone, giggling

He raises an eyebrow, “So?”

“So?!” you gasp, feigning offense, “This shit’s hilarious.”

“No it’s not?” he deadpans, “It’s just a frog without a hood and a frog with a hood?”

“That frog is Kermit,” you retort, “And it’s the caption that’s funny.”

“I can’t take it seriously,” he shrugs

I cAn’T tAkE iT sErIoUsLy

Seriously ?!?!?!

“That’s… that’s the whole point?” you blink at him

“Okay. Then, I guess I got the point ??” he smiles confidently clearly confused

—Inosuke is basically me trying to comprehend memes 💀

“Never mind,” you grumble, snatching your phone back

He frowns as you mutter to yourself

Ofc he wants to “get it”, but it’s just a frog? Named Kermit ??

They make no sense he rolls his eyes

But he still does his best

Bc he likes likes you

Dutifully opens all of your Insta DMs

Tap tap ❤️’s every meme you send him

You even link him to those Insta pgs where they post memes w/ explanations in the descriptions

Which, kind of helps?

Slowly, slowly, slowly he begins sending you memes back

Oftentimes accompanied by a, “Wtf?”

His meme taste is as chaotic as you’d expect

One day he’s sending a ton of dog memes

The next he’s sending dark humor memes

And then Spongebob?

Also cooking memes

Primarily featuring Gordon Ramsay

#idiot sandwich

You ignore those — he’s just poking fun at how you’ve burned water it was one time, sheesh

—... I’ve “burned” water once… bc I forgot I was boiling it (to cook mac n cheese), and by the time I remembered it’d evaporated completely 😶

He’s gonna give you meme whiplash

Regardless, you totally appreciate how much effort he’s putting in

“I’m sad,” you’ll text him

And he’ll respond w/ that “👍😿” meme

—Just Google “crying cat meme” if you’re lost

You assume he’s going for supportive…

You text him, “Thanks Inosuke.”

He responds w/ (this)

You accidentally leave him on read for a while

Bc you’re freaking tf out

He just accidentally/indirectly/on purpose ?? Told you he loves you ?! For the first time !!

VIA MEME ?!

“Inosuke?”

He hums in acknowledgement, swinging waaay too high on the swing beside you

#adults deserve playgrounds and playtime too

—Everyone’s always aged up in my brain whenever I write fanfics; more info (here)

“I love you too.”

You hold your breath

This man isn’t even fazed

Lil fucker knew what he was doing all along

“That’s good. I was getting worried about being left on read.”

😠😠😠🙈 —> you rn

“Love you [y/n].”

Lowkey hoarder of memes

Primarily funny/soft content

Nothing too dark/scandalous

But when I say “hoarder of memes” I mean: Tanjirou’s impossible to show memes to

Not literally, like, obvi you can still show him memes

He’s just seen them all ?????

Doesn’t help that you have similar taste

But ffs you just wanna send him one cute kitten meme w/o him being like

“Aww babe, this is so lovely!” he coos fondly

…

…

You squint at him, “You’ve already seen this.”

He face falls, unable to lie, “Yeah,” bites his lip sadly, “M’sorry.”

Whatever ☹️

One day you borrow his phone (ofc he’s aware — #don’t promote toxic behavior)

And you scroll through all* of his memes

*Some, of his memes

**There’s too many to scroll through all of theme

***How did he even amass such a collection ??

****Is this why he takes forever in the bathroom ?? 🚽📱

On the plus side, he has a meme for every occasion!

Feeling spaghetti bc you think you bombed your most recent exam?

—That’s about to be me in T-4 hrs #general chemistry

He’s got a plethora of “I love you!” and “You rock!” and “It’s okay to suck!” memes

Feeling excited bc you’re going on date w/ him in a couple hrs?

He’s got an abundance of “cheesy dating memes” to support your hype

Feeling under the weather after overworking yourself bc school’s a bitch?

He’s got infinite memes of “Get well soon” and “Sorry you’re sick” and “I miss you”

You jokingly ask if he’s going to propose w/ a meme

He turns into a tomato 🍅

“[y/n]!”

You snort, patting his cheek

“I would never!”

You move away abruptly

Quiet

Contemplative

He’s concerned

Reaches for your hands, tension in his lungs easing when you allow him to hold them

“[y/n]?” 🥺

You smile shakily, squeezing his fingers, “Hi, Tanjirou.”

Tanjirou? He’s so used to hearing Tan

Uh oh 😔

💡💡💡

“BABE!” he exclaims, startling you, “I would never propose to you with a meme!”

Your eyes widen

“Babe, babe, babe: I did not mean to imply disinterest in our future together,” he’s bright, gentle, sheepish, “I simply meant I would never use a meme to ask something so… intimate. Significant.”

A relieved whimper escapes you, “You’re. So. Stupid,” you blubber

He laughs unabashedly, letting go of your hands to pull you into a suffocatingly secure hug

“I’m your stupidhead,” he murmurs into your neck

“My stupid, stupidhead, meme addict,” you sniffle

Does he do anything to curb his meme obsession?

Nope

Does he start curating appropriate proposal memes?

Yup Nope

[hacked-by-jake]

Everytime Jake breaks our hearts while we confess...

Him: opps I did it again... I played with your heart...

I can't help but remember it, don't tell me I'm the only one😂😅

Was bored, just thought I'd send it to you. Don't know if it's funny or not😅

Have a nice day/night 💚💛

No, don’t worry, that’s what I think every time! 😂

That’s why I always try to make it sound like this, because the situation is simply the perfect template. 🤭

"Oops I did it again" has already become a meme and it’s just perfect for Jake.🥲

In my opinion this fits very well, because every time he hits my heart at that moment in a bad but at the same time positive way, because actually he wants to, but he finds it too dangerous.🤡😭

Thank you for sharing your good and funny thoughts with us, I think many know this moment.🥰🤭

Have a nice day/evening/night, too, dear!💜💚
