But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

well i added my contribution : )

This abomination is going to Superhell for meme crimes.

It's a math error. Assassin takes place two years before the brightest night and we know he's four years old during the events of it. This makes him six years old when Glory is hatched. Add on another six and he's twice her age by the time they meet.

However, there's a couple things in the book that would leave me to believe otherwise. For starters, this line in Winter Turning.

For context, Deathbringer almost arrested Winter for trespassing into the Rainforest Kingdom. The NightWing referred here is him.

Note the use of the word "few". Few typically means 2-3. If Deathbringer was older (say literallt 12 years old), it would be more appropriate to say "several" or "many" or just simply "older" with nothing else. Winter in this book is 5 years old. This would mean that Deathbringer is anywhere from 7-8 years old.

Let's also not forget this line from The Dark Secret.

In this, Deathbringer is talking about Greatness. Greatness is nine years old. If Deathbringer has known her as being the surrogate ruler that Battlewinner uses to get her messages through, then this must mean that at MOST he is 9 years old. However, that would also imply that Greatness was doing this since the moment she came out of the egg, which is highly unlikely.

God the aging system in WoF sucks so much....

It's stuff like this which makes me less likely to jump at the bit when it comes to accusing Tui of making the age gap happen on purpose. Obviously it's a mistake. Tui's made some bad choices, but I don't think she would make her favourite relationship have such a nasty age gap, especially when the existence of Whirlpool is to literally warn kids about groomers. I can't even blame her for not talking about it. There's no way she doesn't know about it. If she talks about it, then it brings more attention to it and makes her look even worse. She'll probably try and retcon it in the Guide.
