Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Is this from the Netflix series? I teach this story to sophomores, and now I'm thinking we're reading the wrong story.

Haha yes, it's not just loosely based on the original short story but also combines other parts of unrelated Edgar Allen Poe stories and characters into a single narrative. Take all that and set it in 2023 with some parts of the show taking place as far back as the 1950s. Definitely its own Mike Flanagan-created beast by the end of the day.
