#four dabloons

Tiktoks gotten me obsessed with dablooncat sonas so here's mine!

So- explanation for anyone who doesn't know about the current dabloon thing:

It's a trend that started only a couple of days ago on TikTok. The original meme, the "base template" I guess you could call it, is that people would post videos or photo slied where they say something along the lines of "Hello traveler, would you like some warm stew? But it will cost ya... four dabloons" and then they would post this specific image of a cat holding up a paw showing four paw-toes:

For some historical context, dabloons (or rather doubloons) was a real form of currency that used to exist. I couldn't find too much info in my search that I spent a grand total of 5 minutes on, but they seem to originate from the Spanish Empire around the 1500-1800. In modern times they are mostly associated with pirates.

Anyway, back to TikTok! This trend escalated quickly. It started with the fact that people began joking about being in dabloon-debt after coming across so many of these posts, so people starting making posts where they were instead giving dabloons to others. So people started keeping track of their dabloon savings. The dabloon posts started evolving even more. People made "shops" where you could choose how to spend your money, some decided to become theives and would steal others' dabloons. Dabloon-cops started showing up to stop the dabloon-thieves' shenanigans.

Then the inflation happened. People started handing out crazy amounts of dabloons, which led to spiking prizes. Stew would go from 4 dabloons to 20, people became dabloon-millionares from simply one post. The Dabloon President (yes, really) made a call for action to prevent this impending economic crisis. There were restrictions put in place on how many dabloons could be handed out at once, and taxes were introduced. Some people did not like the direction the dabloon-society was going with all these laws and rules. A dabloon-restistance was formed to fight against the dabloon-government.

.... yes there is basically a dabloon-civil-war going on, this all happened within the span of a few hours, shit's wild.
