Please for the love of God, tell me you know bout what's happening with the ship MordecaiXTwilight Sparkles I'm loosing my goddamn mind. Why are there so many videos and fanart what is happening heLP-

once upon a time, dear anon, user bluedog444 drew the titular comic of mordetwi, pictured below is the original piece

tiktoks, memes, redraws, animation memes, genuine shipart, satirical shipart, shipart that was sarcastic turning sincere, next gens, animations, and more have popularized and brought about this resurgence in mordetwi.

legend says that bluedog444 said they were never even interested in mordetwi, they just wanted to seem cool to the people who did...

this was in 2012. since then, the image popped in and out of relevancy. i, for one, have seen this image appear in my radar before this era that we live in, the mordetwipocolypse. for some reason, in this latest circulation of the mordetwi comic, it has gone viral.

tiktoks, memes, redraws, animation memes, genuine shipart, satirical shipart, shipart that was sarcastic turning sincere, next gens, animations, character swaps, oh my.

in this latest circulation of the mordetwi comic, it hasn't died. and for this, i am horrified, my dear anon, that the storm will never fade away, that mordetwi will become the next cringey meme that we add to our tumblr, twitter, idk yearbooks, that we look back upon, cry on the pages, and we say "that was a stupid meme...."

and when these images are reposted, instead of the warm familiarity of seeing a familiar image, a recollection from a simpler time for an obscure ship, we will remember this great mordetwipocolypse instead, and cringe for our obsession. for we have an obsession, digging our talons into this meme and dragging it's dying body across the fields.

you could say we're beating a dead horse but... no... we're beating a dead pony.... from 2012....

good luck, anon. take care, and remember... the original shipart wasn't sincere.... it was ironic......

good night.

I know yall are probably tired of seeing this image everywhere by now but my friend asked me if I wanted to join in the meme as a collab and I couldn’t say no and now you get to suffer with me

This is the first real art collab I’ve ever done I’m so proud of us I wouldn’t have it any other way. She sketched Mordecai and I sketched Twilight and then we lined and colored each other’s sketches and this is our joined masterpiece

If you allow me to go off for a little bit, I honestly really like what the original Mordetwi picture represents and the positive cultural shift we’ve had towards “cringe culture” in the past few years, and I say this without a hint of irony

I think most of us had a time in our lives when we were kids and got attached to kids shows and found comfort in certain characters and had our fun pairing them up or just drawing them in MS Paint bc we looked up to artists online and wanted to be like them but didn’t know how to draw any other way. The fics were poorly written and the art was bad but we had fun doing it in earnest and it brought us joy and that’s what matters in the end

A few years ago it was so common to make fun of it and even make comments such as “This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen / this makes me want to die / I wanna kms” towards pieces like the original Mordetwi and I cannot grasp why we ever thought it was ok to react in such way towards a kid’s work? Kids who were just having fun? It’s just such a toxic mentality honestly, and I’m glad that seems to be mostly dead now and we just shamelessly embrace the things we like even as adults

Besides no artist is born with the talent they have and we wouldn’t have the amazing artists/writers we have today if they hadn’t done their “cringy” MS Paint drawings and Deviantart fanfics back in the day and I’m proud of all the progress they’ve done

I look back fondly at the things I did as a kid even if they were bad bc not only I wouldn’t be where I’m at without them, but also I had fun making them and there’s nothing cringy in just wanting to be happy and I hope people (kids or adults) can just indulge in their harmless interests without toxicity. Whether that’s being a furry or watching cartoons or writing weird fics or roleplaying or cosplaying or listening to “bad” music or shipping characters, or whatever it might be

As Jenny Nicholson puts it, “Yeah, it’s pretty cringy. But then again, most fun things are.”

All hail Mordetwi
