Let's look at the similarities between Internet memes and Animation memes (this project is an animation meme). I'm going to use Globgogabaglab as an example since it's the first thing I thought of (and yes, I'm well aware it's dead). A meme may start off from something that already exists (e.g., a video from the 90's or a video somebody recorded) or may be created from scratch by an individual. A meme may pick up popularity around a certain period of time. Globgogabaglab gained popularity in April of 2018, and the Hot Milk meme gained popularity in around January or February of 2017, I believe. A meme may be reproduced by other creators by adding their own twist. For Internet memes, these "twists" often include bassboosting the audio or making something funny happen every time a certain word is spoken or an action is done. For Animation memes, these "twists" often include replacing the character with their own OC. For both of these types of memes, the original intention is kept throughout. For Internet memes, the intention usually tends to be just using the video or audio clip or image, and for Animation memes, the intention usually tends to be doing the same thing animation-wise (e.g., making the OC walk, dance to the beat, lip-sync, etc). I am well aware that there is a second definition of meme (a ~humorous image, video, piece of text, etc.,~ that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users) that tends to match more of the Internet meme, but that's still just another definition. There are two definitions of meme, and Animation is one of them (despite it not being shown on google). Memes don't always have to contain something humorous, and Animation memes don't always have to contain warrior cats, as shown here and in my other memes. *mic drop* ~: Announcement :~ Oof, that's an ominous word. The last time I used it was when I cancelled ISBI and promised a new series, right? Well, I don't really want to work on the new series anymore. Before y'all start throwing chairs at me and unfollow me and burn down your computers, just let me say why. I just don't like the idea of having to consistently work on the same plot for months...years... And I did say that I was thinking of outsourcing this series, which received overwhelming enthusiasm from a lot of you, but it's been like, 6 months, and I highly doubt anybody's interested in it anymore. I feel like if I accepted tons of animators and music creators and voice actors...most of them would procrastinate (like me, lol) and the series would never get finished. I doubt an episode could even get finished in three months. I'm really sorry for those of you who were excited, but I don't want to consistently work on something for a long time. I'd rather use my time to explore different genres and different types of projects and different ways to code, which is what I'm trying to accomplish with this weekly project schedule. I feel like an animated series would 1. Make my schedule bi-weekly or even tri-weekly, heck, even monthly or yearly, 2. Make me stay inside of my comfort zone 3. Not encourage me to try to make new projects. So sorry, but I feel it's for the better. ~: Story behind this meme :~ All this is is just my new OC, Queenie, dancing to her favorite song. No, she's not a lesbian. ~: Thanks! :~ I just want to say thanks to the FPC who has already curated me and the next curation coming up next month. I also want to thank y'all for 40 followers in a month and a half! Thank you all so, so, so much! This meme is dedicated to y'all. :) ~: Credits :~ Art: Animation: Coding: Song: I Want You Back by the Jackson 5 (wow, another Michael Jackson project?? deifishfghf) Time taken: Three days. That's quite a record, for me! Although, this meme is fairly simple compared to most memes, but I'm still proud of it. ~: Extra Tags :~ Love Cute Michael Jackson meme MEME M E M E m e m e Animation Art Music ~Sun
