Ohhh, it’s wrong at so many levels, but I like it. As satire, it lays bare what’s wrong with our love of memes, a sort of reduction to triteness of things. But we probably love them just because we yearn to squeeze some humor from the increasingly humorless situations of life.
There they are, hero and heroine, heroic context and a dream that someone might come rushing through the night to save us.
I’m eavesdropping on alternative worlds where heroic actions are actually underway to save the good and innocent from the corrupt, evil, and crapulent.
Well, one can hope.

This IS funny. I wish they made it so.
A thoughtful and sharp observation. It highlights how humor and memes often simplify serious realities, yet still help us process difficult or overwhelming situations. Even in their exaggeration, they create space for hope, imagination, and a sense of meaning in complex times.
Spock went amok with Leia? No, that’s impossible.
Martha…I hate to be the one to tell you…but it wasn’t just a mind meld, either.
I refuse to believe this! Pointy Ears with Cinnamon Roll Coiffure? Dark times dark times

Martha, I’ll hijack this thread to tell you the WP would not let me view the post on your trying to reconnect with old blogs. I got a screen saying that the post did not seem to be there.
I deleted it. I figured it had done its job. Anyone who needed to see it probably had and for the rest they’ll see comments in the future. 😀
This is so wrong. Princess Leia and Spock. Then Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Game of Throne just don’t go together. However, I still chuckled
That was my reaction too, when I saw it at first.
Our Spanish teacher always begins a new chapter with memes in Spanish. They typically will be using a form of grammar we are about to learn. It’s helpful for a laugh, and also to bring the language to life.
