Nielo Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm happy to report that I now have moderating powers, so I've finally been able to update the rules a little, and I made the screenshot guide a sticky thread. I also plan on updating the Hall of Winners, eventually, although that'll probably be a slow process. Current theme: Memes Description: Okay, I'll be honest here; this is one of those themes that's been on the list forever (or, at least, since before I took over from deb), and I have no clue how to describe it, as I honestly don't really know how to dress a pet up as a meme. But I'm hoping you guys will, as your entries are usually far more creative than mine ever were. So please, share your ideas, memes, and tips in this thread (but also let me know if you can't work with this theme at all). Or perhaps the person who originally suggested the theme is still around, and would like to elaborate on it. Edit: If you could include a link to/picture of your meme, that'd be awesome! Entering period: Monday, November 25 - Sunday, December 1 Voting period: Monday December 2 - Sunday, December 8 If you have any questions about this round or the Runway in general, just post them here, or send me a message. Also: never hesitate to send me suggestions for future themes! (But if they're as broad as "internet memes", please describe what you have in mind. ) Angeló, xxfiller_bunnyxx and aleu1986 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleu1986 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Oh wow this is definitely a fun and challenging theme! I`ve been looking around on KnowYourMeme.com to get inspiration and have come up with two entries so far. This website gives you the origin and definition plus examples of each meme, very useful. They have a searchbar where you can type in keywords like cat, girl, lucky, etc. You can use Meepit Vs Feepit Background or Swirl of Power Effect to make the background look like a color wheel (commonly used with older memes such as Socially Awkward Penguin). Some memes can be easily replicated in a Neopian setting, like the one below. Blackboard/classroom, White Wocky with glasses and bow tie, chemistry set. There are tons of memes, so I would suggest we supply an example together with our entry to demonstrate what the meme looks like and the meaning of it.

Bookpony Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Some ideas I had for people to work with: Pepe the Frog, Kermit, Dat Boi, the surprised Pikachu face, John Cena, and the You Know I Had to Do It to Em guy. For some reason a lot of memes are based on frogs...luckily we have Nimmos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it! Yeah, I second that it would be worthwhile to have people include an example of their meme with their submission. Especially since there's so many/not all of us will get the references. So for example business cat: Nielo and aleu1986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie8204 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Happy to see that my Shrek won last week's contest xD I'm excited to see the entries for this one!! I had a great idea for my entry Lolol can't wait for everyone to see it. Tried to add my trophy to my text post, lets see if it works!

jellysundae Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Ooh, now this is a fun idea, but yes, how to do! lol. There's about a bazillion memes now isn't there xD If I manage an entry for this round it'll be very old skool by meme standards as they age by the dog years principle basically, don't they. They're classed as "old" when they're something from last year. Well... let's be fair here, the people who judge others for using an "old" meme are probably school/college age. But yeah, any meme I use is gonna be pre-historic by this niche's standards, because I've not taken any notice of them since they first started being a thing. So a def classic to look out for from me. xD My biggest issue would be my borked brain allowing me to come up with a meme-like caption. Especially as it's now wanting me to try to create one for this guy! I mean seriously?? Is there ANY WAY i could make things any harder for myself???

Nielo Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I knew you wouldn't disappoint. (I've already received 4 entries, which is a rarity for the first day!) Adding an example of your meme is a great idea; I'll add that to the description of the theme. (Oh, and while I don't really want to exclude any memes, I do strongly want to discourage anyone thinking of using Pepe the Frog, as he's mostly an alt-right icon at this point. ) aleu1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I have an entry in the works, the main body of it's worked pretty ok, it's finding a background that's causing a problem, lol. Nielo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookpony Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Oh boy, I didn't realize Pepe had been corrupted... Sorry about that suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In fact, I'm jealous of the fact that you somehow didn't know this; I had never even heard of Pepe before the alt-right adopted him, and even my dad - who knows zero memes - knows Pepe, because the mainstream news articles he reads mentioned the Pepe + alt-right connection. XD So I can only applaud your internet habits! They're obviously more wholesome/less disturbing than mine. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleu1986 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I sent in my entry! I sure am looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with, I wasn`t very original in my pick, but I did create an alternate entry, so we`ll see...

FreakyBowie Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 @jellysundae Oh my gosh, that's one of the ultimate best memes. And I'm with you there. I'm in my late 20s, and already feel like an old fart who can't keep up with kids these days. I'll probably go for a bit of an older one too. aleu1986, jellysundae and Nielo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 @FreakyBowie GRUMPY CAT FOR LYFE! She was my immediate first option actually, but the snark wasn't presenting itself, so I went for a different one. Oh man... I now feel compelled to try and create a different classic one. I will share it here if I have success so fair warning, lol. Here you go, my first attempt at *intro music plays* GUESS THAT MEME! A little trouble with the hair of this one, as, unsurprisingly, Neo doesn't have a greasy and unkempt pony-tail as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy777 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Done and done..all turned in! I had trouble with NOT adding cute things that would take away from the simplicity. I did it though..bare necessities only. I'm pretty happy with it.....now for the wait to see how he does.*crosses fingers* jellysundae and aleu1986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queen_hatshepset Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 This is fun! I had not idea what to make a meme out of and then trying to find a suitable pet to match the meme was exciting too! I can't wait to see everyone's entries! aleu1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
