Day Ninety Two

You know how when you find something you love, like a band or a book, and then it gets really popular and it makes you kind of mad because you knew about it first, then you realize that was a very hipster-ish thing to think but you can't help it? That happened to me today, except instead of a band or a book, it was an image.


I literally laugh every time I see this for an extended period of time. Just take a second right now to imagine a derpy wolf stumbling along behind a pack of wolves and all the other wolves rolling their eyes. Don't tell me you didn't smile just a little bit. 

I was so excited to have found a hilarious post and I decided not to repost it or anything so I could have it to myself. Then I get on Imgur today and THIS happened:













NO! That was MY thing. Moon Moon was MY thing. Gah! It's not even like the original Moon Moon post happened yesterday and this was an immediate reaction to it - I physically upvoted the original a few days ago. First the Hunger Games, now this! 

As illogical as it is, I think it's natural to want the things that you love to avoid getting popular because once everyone likes them, being a fan of that particular thing doesn't make you unique anymore. If you love Harry Potter, congratulations, you are one of the MILLIONS of people who do. Doesn't make you special. I think it's the fact that when something you love gets popular, you lose one of the things that makes you unique. In that way, I sympathize with hipsters when one of their favorite indie bands goes "mainstream."
