The only bit about that day that I knew about was the Queen dying; I was about as distanced from Internet culture as you could get back then. I heard that the Queen died from a kid from school, though I barely took his word for it since he always said stupid things. Naturally, I found out this was true via a newspaper at the local pharmacy.
i was excitedly swapping between tumblr and twitter feeds that day, seeing what both sides thought of the tumblr sexyman polls (tumblr even did their own to parallel for a bit), when the megamind and 🦀crabs started coming in...and then the irish & indian jokes came in, and OH SHIT ITS REAL. 👌💯🎉
I actually did NOT experience ANY fandom leak when the Queen died. Everyone was going on about how she'd be reincarnated as Trisha Paytas' baby lol. I wish I had been part of the brain rot instead.
I only knew about the sexymen poll from a fancomic of it. I’m kind of mad I keep missing Tumblr polls, especially that one, but in fairness I’m mostly on Discord now
I was part of that brain rot, and let me tell you, finding out that the Queen of England is dead through a Tumblr Sexyman OTY poll was an experience, I thought I was on drugs.
Glad your dad is awake, hope he's doing much better now. Shame he basically got the stereotypical coma experience. Waking up and learning world is completely different is a WILLLDDD thing
Average school day in America (This is why I’m homeschooled. For safety and also the fact that I can do school work quicker, I’m almost done with high school and I’m 14)
adding to the jungkook theory, it was a bit more complex in the sense that people were saying princess diana's spirit was being unleashed for revenge on the queen because that same day bts was celebrating chuseok (a korean holiday) and went live on weverse and jungkook was noticeably tired, sparking the theory that princess diana's spirit was getting stronger and overtaking him so she can witness the queen's death
i walked up to my coworker this morning when i clocked in, looked him dead in the eye, and said "sans undertale killed the queen of england one year ago today." then walked away and refused to elaborate. he gave me weird looks the rest of the day. it was amazing.
@@astra-nomia i just work at a grocery store lol. i elaborated yesterday when he asked what the hell i was talking about. i like that it took more than a day for him to ask
I know the biggest thing personally that happened on September 8/9, 2022 was Splatoon 3's release. Elizabeth II died mere _hours_ before the game's launch, so almost every post people made in Splatsville immediately was of the same vein of "Splatted The Queen" or "The Queen died so Splatoon 3 could live." OH, and five days later, the Nintendo Direct happened where Tears of the Kingdom's name was officially revealed. Which uh, is either amazing or horrible timing on their part depending on how you look at it.
From the Mcyt/streamer side of the internet- Queen Elizabeth’s death was blamed of Jschlatt as he just got back from the UK before she was announced dead. It was certainly a day that’s for sure
@@ashrunsaway1134 I’m not in the MCYT community & was kinda falling out with it during the time lizzy passed but from what I remembered he has predicted phillip’s death but beforehand had joked about killing the queen.
I remember the full swing chaos of most of this but had no idea about the whole Princess Diana BTS thing, honestly that is a wild theory which I now need to look into more lol
To let me give you a very brief rundown. You got to know the basics of why the fandom jokes about Jungkook being a reincarnation of Diana since like 2020 honestly. It started because we joke around that its Jungkook's first life in this world, because he's very curious about stuff. So a person on twitter did a whole thread in why she thinks its actually his second life because he's a reincarnation of princess Diana, after noticing a lot of similarities between then when watching princess Diana documentaries and listing all the coincidences like: Jungkook was born the very next day after Diana passed away. They have the same Chinese year for birthdates (the year of the ox, which circles every 12 years or so). They were both born on the 1st of their birth month (1 Sept and 1 July). Astrologically, Jungkook's natal chart says he was a ROYAL in his past life. He has a crown tattoo on his finger. They have the same MBTI, height, mannerisms, clothing sense. They both loved to do laundry. Diana once set a palace on fire because of a microwave and Jungkook is actually afraid of microwaves. A lot of other similarities like was mentioned in the video. Here comes the fun part: The day Queen Elizabeth died, (Exactly 25 years and 7 days after Diana's death and Jungkook's birth, keep those numbers in mind), 1. Jungkook felt extremely sleepy and lethargic on a livestream he did with BTS. 2. His astrology transits for the day showed 13 which is symbolic to death. 3. Philosophers have theorized that every 25 years after a person's death, they get a 7 day window of conciousness to fulfill their old desires. 4. The empire state building was lit up purple to mourn the Queen's death ( Purple is often considered to be a royal color and it is coincidentally the official color of BTS). It kept on snowballing after that. So it was finally concluded that Jungkook's body was overtaken by Diana's conciousness on that day to witness the death of Queen Elizabeth and finally exact her revenge.
The absolute whiplash from finding out about the sexyman contest on Twitter - and the _winner_ - and IMMEDIATELY getting news about the Queen’s death was freaking WILD lmao. There was nothing funnier that could’ve happened to the royals that day, I swear.
As someone one who spends most of their time in more obscure fandoms, it's nice to learn more what's going on in the bigger fandoms and fandom culture at large via Coley when you don't have the full picture.
You perfectly explained how I feel being a person who watches Coley casually but doesn't partake in fandoms (much less current ones). Every single one of her videos are like watching the news of another planet.
some kid at my school pulled the fire alarm on that day so we all had to evacuate, and the news spread rly quickly, so there were about 900 kids sitting in the sun screaming about the queen dying for a solid half hour
the queen died around lunchtime for me and i was in school, so i heard from one of my friends that she was really sick and then not even like 5 minutes later as we were going back to class i just hear “LIZZIE FUCKING DIED”, the rest of the day the entire school was just going “LIZZIE IS DEAD” in the most devastated british accent every 5 seconds. hard to believe it’s already been a year it feels like it’s been a month lmao
I was in the middle of my finance class in highschool when the queen died. We all found out from our teacher and thorughout the rest of the school day, nobody got any work done, we couldn't stop talking about how crazy it was
I remember when I was in secondary school (high school, I think) it was sep 11th 2001 and we were in assembly, we were told about the twin towers in New York and had a 2 minute silence for those who died duing that disaster
SAME! I was in my AP Lang class when it happened and we didn’t finish anything because we were so confused (a student found out via tumblr, and that’s why we were confused).
@@MultiFandom_Trash6969 XD oh dont be misled. i do go into fandoms, just not really deep. like i knew the tumblr sexy man thing was a thing, i didnt know it was on twitter to vote for it
Not to mention that Splatoon 3 was also the talk of the town with its official release right after September 8th. I remember seeing memes on Tumblr of Sans and Deep Cut teaming up together to kill the Queen. It surely was a weird day.
WELL now we have to ADD the fact the welcome home fandom got an Official Wally Darling Makeship Plushie and met the goal over 24 times within 3 hours of the kickstarter beginning.
Gosh I remember that day. (European time) In the morning some murmurs of Queen not feeling well were circling around but then me and my friends were having just full on laughing party with the finale of the sexyman poll. That party lasted the whole afternoon with muted shouting in the background that is REALLY not feeling well. But we ignored it, just said "Oh haha she's finally about to kick the bucket" not actually fully believing she would die, with even some sans/reigen fanarts laughing that "Oh yeah she might die wouldn't that be hilarious". And then I saw somebody say "YO GUYS BBC IS PUTTING BLACK TIES ON" and THAT was the oh shit moment. I turned on the Radio to get the news instantly as it happened and the aftermath was just glorious, everybody freaking the f*** out screaming laughing crying howling walls of caps lock texts, with each consecutive "Hey guys you know what else happened?" was like listening to the entire "we didnt start the Fire" in 5 seconds Flat continuously. It was A Day™
god I'm gad you included the Jungkook Diana aspect of this day because my GOD is it insane and hilarious and I had never had a more fun time on twitter than that day I was losing my shit and it's important this hilarity is recorded in the history of this day
an extra level of craziness for skz fans was that, not long b4 her death was announced, lee know posted on bubble 'help me - a successful escape today' with a sus pic of him in a black mask and hat lmao, the timing and coincidence still has me in tears thinking abt it. mayb he was working as an agent for jjk/diana's revenge and was the one who told her abt the tumblr sexyman finale lol
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THIS VIDEO WOULD BE ABOUT WHEN I READ THE TITLE 💀 I went to sleep absolutely overjoyed that Sans won, hopped onto Splatoon 3 as soon as I woke up, and then proceeded to see a million Splatoon plaza posts of that moment in Megamind where Hal says “and there is no Queen of England.” The memes from Black Twitter, Irish Twitter, Indian Twitter and Fandom Twitter are permanently ingrained in my mind
My relationship to this level of craziness was (weirdly) also heightened by a school bomb "threat". When I was in elementary school, on the 5th anniversary of Princess Diana's death (I am old) someone left a box full of magnets in the front office. They thought it was a bomb. We had to evacuate. Children were in hysterics. They thought they were going to die. Weirdest part about it was that twenty minutes later it was taken care of and we had to go back to class like nothing happened lmao.
Wanted to share that I personally found out about the Queen's death while on a Disneyworld themed Minecraft server. I was riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
my personal favourite moment that was pretty niche and wasn't mentioned in the video is the recurring joke that lee know from kpop band stray kids killed the queen - hours before the news of her death was announced, he sent a dark and blurry selfie on bubble with the caption 'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ a successful escape today' and of course people connected the dots.... im a firm believer
Being on tumblr for this day was a wild ride and I loved every second of it. The memes were absolutely immaculate, and everyone just seemed totally aligned with eachother, like we all just collectively came together.
I remember it so well and was greatly surprised by how much happened on the 8th of September for the internet, it was wild time (even though I was one of many that was a part of the great Tumblr sexyman polls) I still find it ironic that 5 days after this big event in fandom history, Nintendo announced the official title for the sequel to Breath of The Wild, Tears Of The Kingdom. If I remember correctly as well, the UK direct meant to relay the information was delayed despite the rest of the world knowing the name of the game (you can probably guess why that was)
My school had a meme themed spirit week that year, and because of the queen’s death lining up so well with Sand Undertable winning the pole, a friend of mine and I had plans on dressing up as the two of them. He was gonna be Sans, and I was gonna be dead Queen Elizabeth. We ended up not going through with it, mostly because I didn’t have everything I needed for the costume, and we weren’t allowed to do the face paint I wanted to put on to make myself look dead. I ended up going to school with a piece of notebook paper taped to my shirt that said, “Where there is a screen, AO3 will be seen.” It was a good day ❤
I'm so glad Coley did a video on this today. I was literally looking up videos about this earlier to celebrate Sans' one year reign. Also this is random, but August 31 is also Vocaloid/Piapro studio's Hatsune Miku, Gravity Falls' Mabel and Dipper Pines, and Genshin Impact's Mona's birthdays as well. Why is everything happening on the same freaking day??
This was beautiful to witness in person. The only reason I was even on Twitter that day was because it was the day before Splatoon 3 released worldwide and I was on splatoon Twitter until my FYP was suddenly filled with “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD” And that was the start of the decent into madness
I was on Tumblr when this happened 😭 I saw the memes and was confused but later on found out the Queen died on the news. Then I went back to Tumblr to check the poll and got on a call with my friend as everyone went wild on the site. The fan art to the continuous posts in minutes- it was chaotic hell.
Fun fact: One month before the Queen's passing, someone on Twitter made a joke about how they were the reason she died, and they even predicted her death date.
On the morning of September 9th 2022 all I remember is being woken up by mom and her telling me and a VERY elicited tone “Elizabeth died!” and then left the room. I will never forget that morning.
so the day elizabeth died bts was live, and jungkook looked very silent and a bit tired that day, he was constantly zoning out and not talking as much as the other. Everyone said it was the spirit of princess diana taking over him to witness the death of elizabeth
that day was so funny in the ghost fandom cause if you didnt know, theres a ghost song called “elizabeth” and theres a lyric in the song that goes “you’re still alive, elizabeth” which people made MANY jokes about
I was in class when someone randomly said that the queen died, I THOUGHT THEY WERE JOKING AT FIRST??? i swear I thought she was immortal for a hot minute
Another thing that happened around this time: Splatoon 3 released and out fandom added fuel to the fire LMAO. What that fuel was, I forgot but I think I saw like 15 plaza posts with Queen Lizzie as an Inkling on Day 1 LMAO
8:13 LEONARDO DICAPRIO POINTING MEME (fun fact, a guy stole this drawing for a thumbnail, but their video got less views than my post got reblogs so. THANK YOU FOR CREDITING ME
Something else funny that you missed is that the news came out at roughly the same time that Splatoon 3 released in Japan, so there were a lot of memes of Queen Elizabeth wearing a "I did not survive the release of Splatoon 3" t-shirts and the like as well
I remember the Warrior Cats fandom was in chaos as well. For over a DECADE fans had been arguing over whether the Queen or Mistystar would live longer. (Note: The cat was a full-grown woman with adult children at the start of the book series. In 2003. She was almost 30 in human years and refused to die.) SPOILERS: Mistystar had finally passed away in April 2022, so the fandom went wild when the Queen died. RIP Queen. She lasted just long enough to outlive her greatest rival, before passing away in peace. May they hunt in StarClan.
Plus, something to add as an orbit (loona fan) the Queen died at the same time loona was doing a concert, so yeah, that also was a little something in Twitter
I wasn't aware of the Jungkook is Princess Diana theory until watching this video, but just from what you showed here, I'm half convinced that not only is he aware of the theory, he started it himself when he realized he was born the same day she died and all of those "coincidental" similarities are things he did on purpose to see if anyone noticed.
oh god i remember the day i found out about the queens death i was coming out of the gym locker room and then my friend was walking around just saying “the queen died”. over half an hour later schools out and literally everyone is talking about it
What’s funny is that day at school we were being sent home early for a threat and on my bus some kids started yelling about who eine the tumbler sexy man vote, than some kid in the seat next to me yelled, “SHUT THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!! THATS MORE IMPORTANT THAT SANS WINNING” and than someone with a speaker started playing “god save the queen” 🤣
My experience with this whole thing started in my sixth hour when this one kid, out of nowhere, stands up and yells, "DID THE QUEEN DIE?!" He then salutes and stands up straight. Given that this kid was a class clown of sorts, I thought he was joking only to find out later that day while scrolling on RUclips Shorts that she ACTUALLY DIED
One thing I’m surprised you didn’t bring up was on the next day, September 9th, Splatoon 3 came out! So in game there were posts about the Queen dying, including “The Queen died so we could get Splatoon 3!”. Fun times.
that day on the stray kids fandom we were joking that lee know killed the queen because he posted a blurry photo of him on bubble followed by the text "a successful escape today" 😭
I know in the Splatoon fandom is was the day before the highly awaited third game would release, and when it did there was a lot of memes like “the queen didn’t get to experience splatoon 3” and “grandma has died”
I just remembered that I actually heard the jungkook is princess Diana reincarnated theory, but I actually forgot about it until this video just reminded me again 😭
I was in the car with my dad, listening to the radio as we went down to our favourite chippy. It isn't the most local, but it's the best one. A trip down memory lane because we hadn't done that, just the two of us, _on a _*_Thursday_* ("fish and chip day"), in a long time. Then it came on the radio that yes, Queenie had died. And my dad just said "Yep, thought that was it." He already knew because *all* of the Royal Family had rushed to Scotland to be with her, and all the public was getting was that her health was bad. No, dad knew better, and he was right. Then schools got fucked over again because the whole country was in mourning and we got days off, so students who had already been buggered by the teachers strikes were now getting buggered by death. I mean, still sad, still a big event, can't believe it's been a WHOLE YEAR since the Queen died, but ouch. RIP GCSEs and A-Levels and Degrees and Masters, I guess. PGCEs too. Just...RIP everything that needed to be taught well and ended up rushed. But most of all....R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II - the Legend of Immortality Herself
Ironic, because when I got the news I was working an evening shift at the same chippy my mum works at and a customer came in and told us the news. We were completely unaware until then. VL
Me and my friends were staying after school when this happened. I didn't have anything to do so I started scrolling Twitter, I had been keeping up with the tumbler sexy man poll the best I could all day lol, so imagine my surprise when another friend of mine came up to up and said "the queen die". We laughed thinking he was joking but being got serious and said he wasn't joking. We looked it up and sure enough, he was right. As we where losing our minds I saw that Sans won the poll, making us lose our minds more lmao
the way I learnt about the queens death was in the middle of film class and my friend telling me the queen pulled the same stunt my dad did.. so hearing that then going onto twitter and seeing everything going on was mind boggling
No but like, this is one of those "You'll remember where you were" moments. And I was in my high school choir class, and my poor director had been trying to get us under control all day because apparently it was just one of those days. Fifteen minutes in, we're finally working, when one of the other students shouts out "GUYS, Hold on a second!" The director humors her and the news goes out. "The Queen is Dead!" Silence, and then Pandemonium. There's confusion and shouting, a class of 50 or so high school girls in utter confusion. The shouter stops us, and reads out the article. There is no hope of saving class. Our director puts her head in her hands. We get five minutes of singing done tops. The rest of the school day I keep hearing about the Queen's death, which was surprising for a midwest high school in America. I also got to see all the memes and had been hearing about the tumblr sexyman contest, sooo, yeah. That's how I heard the Queen died...
At this point I would be more shocked if someone didn't know who Sans Undertale is. He's been in wrestling and Meglovania was performed for the Pope (who was given a copy of Undertale by Matpat) and now he has the death of a royal attached to his name. And this isn't even including the madness that is the Undertale fandom and the Undertale AUs.
wilbur soot fans thought we saw wilbur on the news outside of the palace after lizzy died, we were all in shambles and in debate LMAO people blamed wilbur & schlatt for it (jokingly) as you can tell, i was on wilburtwt at the time. (im no longer on it anymore now im on several band twitters, especially metal bands haha)
A smaller but equally hilarious reaction occurred in the critical role fandom. Critical role airs on a Thursday, and in that night's episode, one of the main characters died. So there were a serious of posts mourning of the loss of "our beloved queen" before showing a picture of that character.
It was joked about that a RUclipsr named jshlatt killed the queen because he had just got back to the states from the uk about the same time that the news was got out
I actually made a "I witnessed this" meme with all the current things happening that day in my graphic design class and posted it on Tumblr while laughing my ass off about it

I remember the full swing chaos of most of this but had no idea about the whole Princess Diana BTS thing, honestly that is a wild theory which I now need to look into more lol
To let me give you a very brief rundown.
You got to know the basics of why the fandom jokes about Jungkook being a reincarnation of Diana since like 2020 honestly. It started because we joke around that its Jungkook's first life in this world, because he's very curious about stuff. So a person on twitter did a whole thread in why she thinks its actually his second life because he's a reincarnation of princess Diana, after noticing a lot of similarities between then when watching princess Diana documentaries and listing all the coincidences like:
Jungkook was born the very next day after Diana passed away.
They have the same Chinese year for birthdates (the year of the ox, which circles every 12 years or so).
They were both born on the 1st of their birth month (1 Sept and 1 July).
Astrologically, Jungkook's natal chart says he was a ROYAL in his past life.
He has a crown tattoo on his finger.
They have the same MBTI, height, mannerisms, clothing sense.
They both loved to do laundry.
Diana once set a palace on fire because of a microwave and Jungkook is actually afraid of microwaves.
A lot of other similarities like was mentioned in the video.
Here comes the fun part:
The day Queen Elizabeth died, (Exactly 25 years and 7 days after Diana's death and Jungkook's birth, keep those numbers in mind),
1. Jungkook felt extremely sleepy and lethargic on a livestream he did with BTS.
2. His astrology transits for the day showed 13 which is symbolic to death.
3. Philosophers have theorized that every 25 years after a person's death, they get a 7 day window of conciousness to fulfill their old desires.
4. The empire state building was lit up purple to mourn the Queen's death ( Purple is often considered to be a royal color and it is coincidentally the official color of BTS).
It kept on snowballing after that.
So it was finally concluded that Jungkook's body was overtaken by Diana's conciousness on that day to witness the death of Queen Elizabeth and finally exact her revenge.
The absolute whiplash from finding out about the sexyman contest on Twitter - and the _winner_ - and IMMEDIATELY getting news about the Queen’s death was freaking WILD lmao. There was nothing funnier that could’ve happened to the royals that day, I swear.

some kid at my school pulled the fire alarm on that day so we all had to evacuate, and the news spread rly quickly, so there were about 900 kids sitting in the sun screaming about the queen dying for a solid half hour
the queen died around lunchtime for me and i was in school, so i heard from one of my friends that she was really sick and then not even like 5 minutes later as we were going back to class i just hear “LIZZIE FUCKING DIED”, the rest of the day the entire school was just going “LIZZIE IS DEAD” in the most devastated british accent every 5 seconds. hard to believe it’s already been a year it feels like it’s been a month lmao
omg no what
I was in the middle of my finance class in highschool when the queen died. We all found out from our teacher and thorughout the rest of the school day, nobody got any work done, we couldn't stop talking about how crazy it was
i was in history 😭 the crazy thing is i had just put down the irish flag for my ethnic heritage like 10 mins before
I remember when I was in secondary school (high school, I think) it was sep 11th 2001 and we were in assembly, we were told about the twin towers in New York and had a 2 minute silence for those who died duing that disaster
I was in my Computer Science class. One guy in the class just yelled "THE QUEEN IS DEAD" and the rest of the block was just constant jokes
SAME! I was in my AP Lang class when it happened and we didn’t finish anything because we were so confused (a student found out via tumblr, and that’s why we were confused).
i honestly forgot she died
This is going to be the funniest day or most obnoxious day in history and I nervously await what it is
I love learning about fandom culture and events. I’ve never gotten to in depth in any one fandom
Like I had never heard of the Wangxian fanfic until coley did a video about it
Damn that’s actually impressive I can’t consume ANY media without deep diving into the fandom for it 😭
@@MultiFandom_Trash6969 *glares at the Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventure manga* yeah, i feel ya there
@@MultiFandom_Trash6969 XD oh dont be misled. i do go into fandoms, just not really deep. like i knew the tumblr sexy man thing was a thing, i didnt know it was on twitter to vote for it
@@typhoontiak6213 real
Not to mention that Splatoon 3 was also the talk of the town with its official release right after September 8th.
I remember seeing memes on Tumblr of Sans and Deep Cut teaming up together to kill the Queen.
It surely was a weird day.
Fr the Splatoon fandom only added fuel to the fire 😂😂😂
WELL now we have to ADD the fact the welcome home fandom got an Official Wally Darling Makeship Plushie and met the goal over 24 times within 3 hours of the kickstarter beginning.
WE DID WHAT
@@DeathnoteBByeah, limited edition iirc
@@DeathnoteBByeah! right now it’s at 4004% funded
5999% funded as of today 💀
i had to check this and as im typing, theyre almost nearing 7000% funding yall are WILD
Gosh I remember that day. (European time) In the morning some murmurs of Queen not feeling well were circling around but then me and my friends were having just full on laughing party with the finale of the sexyman poll. That party lasted the whole afternoon with muted shouting in the background that is REALLY not feeling well. But we ignored it, just said "Oh haha she's finally about to kick the bucket" not actually fully believing she would die, with even some sans/reigen fanarts laughing that "Oh yeah she might die wouldn't that be hilarious". And then I saw somebody say "YO GUYS BBC IS PUTTING BLACK TIES ON" and THAT was the oh shit moment. I turned on the Radio to get the news instantly as it happened and the aftermath was just glorious, everybody freaking the f*** out screaming laughing crying howling walls of caps lock texts, with each consecutive "Hey guys you know what else happened?" was like listening to the entire "we didnt start the Fire" in 5 seconds Flat continuously. It was A Day™
She had covid and survived. My grandma had it too and was still alive in her 90s
god I'm gad you included the Jungkook Diana aspect of this day because my GOD is it insane and hilarious and I had never had a more fun time on twitter than that day I was losing my shit and it's important this hilarity is recorded in the history of this day
Imagine dying as a British royal being reborn as a Korean pop star
@@skootergirl22that’s an isekai story if i ever heard one
@beautifulgorgeousman sounds like a manga webtoon
an extra level of craziness for skz fans was that, not long b4 her death was announced, lee know posted on bubble 'help me - a successful escape today' with a sus pic of him in a black mask and hat lmao, the timing and coincidence still has me in tears thinking abt it. mayb he was working as an agent for jjk/diana's revenge and was the one who told her abt the tumblr sexyman finale lol
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THIS VIDEO WOULD BE ABOUT WHEN I READ THE TITLE 💀 I went to sleep absolutely overjoyed that Sans won, hopped onto Splatoon 3 as soon as I woke up, and then proceeded to see a million Splatoon plaza posts of that moment in Megamind where Hal says “and there is no Queen of England.” The memes from Black Twitter, Irish Twitter, Indian Twitter and Fandom Twitter are permanently ingrained in my mind
Ireland’s response to it was the best. Heyitsstuart did a Short about it and its not chaotic but its one of my faves
OH I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who saw all the meme posts in Splatoon 3 😭 Was wild man
I saw a meme about this earlier. Can’t wait to hear the full story
My relationship to this level of craziness was (weirdly) also heightened by a school bomb "threat".
When I was in elementary school, on the 5th anniversary of Princess Diana's death (I am old) someone left a box full of magnets in the front office. They thought it was a bomb. We had to evacuate. Children were in hysterics. They thought they were going to die.
Weirdest part about it was that twenty minutes later it was taken care of and we had to go back to class like nothing happened lmao.
@@YourWaywardDestinyThey thought magnets were a bomb 💀
And those poor kids. I doubt y’all got any counseling, just “Oh whoops! Well back to class!”
You forgot the "Jshlatt killed the queen" and "can the queen die so i can get a day off to play Splatoon 3", those were also pretty iconic as well
Wanted to share that I personally found out about the Queen's death while on a Disneyworld themed Minecraft server. I was riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Even Disney can't escape you from her death
The Disney Minecraft? I play it!
@@_Unoffical_Norahhh_ why
i gotta say, being online that day was a rollercoaster that every turn was a left, just nonsense everytime you scrolled down
I survived the Tumblr Sexyman tournament of 2022, but guess who didn’t?
(Unoriginal joke but I still think it’s funny)
This was the most obvious joke ever.
Still made me giggle
I had to pause this morning when I realized it had been exactly a year since then (where did the time go). That was such a bizarre day 😅
lol yes
i swear this entire insane day was a month ago. HOW
my personal favourite moment that was pretty niche and wasn't mentioned in the video is the recurring joke that lee know from kpop band stray kids killed the queen - hours before the news of her death was announced, he sent a dark and blurry selfie on bubble with the caption 'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ a successful escape today' and of course people connected the dots.... im a firm believer
Being on tumblr for this day was a wild ride and I loved every second of it. The memes were absolutely immaculate, and everyone just seemed totally aligned with eachother, like we all just collectively came together.
I remember it so well and was greatly surprised by how much happened on the 8th of September for the internet, it was wild time (even though I was one of many that was a part of the great Tumblr sexyman polls)
I still find it ironic that 5 days after this big event in fandom history, Nintendo announced the official title for the sequel to Breath of The Wild, Tears Of The Kingdom. If I remember correctly as well, the UK direct meant to relay the information was delayed despite the rest of the world knowing the name of the game (you can probably guess why that was)
My school had a meme themed spirit week that year, and because of the queen’s death lining up so well with Sand Undertable winning the pole, a friend of mine and I had plans on dressing up as the two of them. He was gonna be Sans, and I was gonna be dead Queen Elizabeth. We ended up not going through with it, mostly because I didn’t have everything I needed for the costume, and we weren’t allowed to do the face paint I wanted to put on to make myself look dead. I ended up going to school with a piece of notebook paper taped to my shirt that said, “Where there is a screen, AO3 will be seen.” It was a good day ❤
Princess Diana and Jungkook theory is so damn funny but I was hella invested to the theory, it's so entertaining lol
I'm so glad Coley did a video on this today. I was literally looking up videos about this earlier to celebrate Sans' one year reign.
Also this is random, but August 31 is also Vocaloid/Piapro studio's Hatsune Miku, Gravity Falls' Mabel and Dipper Pines, and Genshin Impact's Mona's birthdays as well. Why is everything happening on the same freaking day??
Hatsune Miku killed Princess Diana.
On another note, that Mulaney guy has been real quiet recently...
Malaysia independence day
This was beautiful to witness in person.
The only reason I was even on Twitter that day was because it was the day before Splatoon 3 released worldwide and I was on splatoon Twitter until my FYP was suddenly filled with
“BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD”
And that was the start of the decent into madness
With Jungkook's tendency to lurk online on his Ian accounts, I would be surprised if he didn't know about the theory 🤣
I was on Tumblr when this happened 😭 I saw the memes and was confused but later on found out the Queen died on the news. Then I went back to Tumblr to check the poll and got on a call with my friend as everyone went wild on the site. The fan art to the continuous posts in minutes- it was chaotic hell.
God I love fandom internet drama like this, it makes me feel alive.
Fun fact: One month before the Queen's passing, someone on Twitter made a joke about how they were the reason she died, and they even predicted her death date.
I found out the queen died in Spanish class
I kid literally said as the teacher was talking
“The Queen just died”
Entire class was in shambles
Love the hilarity of historical internet events. 😂 Thanks for the reminder and education Coley!
Honestly as a MP100 fan Reigen coming second is way funnier and on brand than him winning
On the morning of September 9th 2022 all I remember is being woken up by mom and her telling me and a VERY elicited tone “Elizabeth died!” and then left the room. I will never forget that morning.
also edit bc typos
Anyone remember Schlatt getting blamed for the Queen's death because he was going back to the US from his trip to the UK
so the day elizabeth died bts was live, and jungkook looked very silent and a bit tired that day, he was constantly zoning out and not talking as much as the other. Everyone said it was the spirit of princess diana taking over him to witness the death of elizabeth
The meme with queen Elizabeth wearing the 'I didn't survive' T-shirt is how I found out she died. I thought it was just a joke I didn't get.
that day was so funny in the ghost fandom cause if you didnt know, theres a ghost song called “elizabeth” and theres a lyric in the song that goes “you’re still alive, elizabeth” which people made MANY jokes about
I was in class when someone randomly said that the queen died, I THOUGHT THEY WERE JOKING AT FIRST??? i swear I thought she was immortal for a hot minute
Honestly, I'm suddenly convinced of the idea that Jungkook is Princess Diana, and I don't even follow Kpop to actually be that interested.
Another thing that happened around this time: Splatoon 3 released and out fandom added fuel to the fire LMAO. What that fuel was, I forgot but I think I saw like 15 plaza posts with Queen Lizzie as an Inkling on Day 1 LMAO
Everytime I see these fandom things I think "try to explain this to a normal person💀" cause could you imagine
Let's just say the only thing on this post a normal person would understand is the Queen dying. Everything else is crazy.
8:13 LEONARDO DICAPRIO POINTING MEME
(fun fact, a guy stole this drawing for a thumbnail, but their video got less views than my post got reblogs so. THANK YOU FOR CREDITING ME
Something else funny that you missed is that the news came out at roughly the same time that Splatoon 3 released in Japan, so there were a lot of memes of Queen Elizabeth wearing a "I did not survive the release of Splatoon 3" t-shirts and the like as well
I remember the Warrior Cats fandom was in chaos as well. For over a DECADE fans had been arguing over whether the Queen or Mistystar would live longer. (Note: The cat was a full-grown woman with adult children at the start of the book series. In 2003. She was almost 30 in human years and refused to die.) SPOILERS: Mistystar had finally passed away in April 2022, so the fandom went wild when the Queen died. RIP Queen. She lasted just long enough to outlive her greatest rival, before passing away in peace. May they hunt in StarClan.
Why does a fandom involving cat versions of the watership down rabbits would care about real world problems?
@@skootergirl22 Half the fandom had been waiting for 19 years for this chick to die. Also it's funny.
Splatoon 3 came out literally the next day so all of the posts in game were about how the Queen died so we could have Splatoon 3
Plus, something to add as an orbit (loona fan) the Queen died at the same time loona was doing a concert, so yeah, that also was a little something in Twitter
8:10 YOU CAN'T HIT ME WITH THAT WHILE IM EATING I COULD'VE CHOKED AND DIED
I wasn't aware of the Jungkook is Princess Diana theory until watching this video, but just from what you showed here, I'm half convinced that not only is he aware of the theory, he started it himself when he realized he was born the same day she died and all of those "coincidental" similarities are things he did on purpose to see if anyone noticed.
Yes
The fact that sep 8 is my birthday makes all this all the more hilarious.
Just imagine waking up to this on your bitrthday.
7:54 OMOCAT???
OMORI REFRENCE IN A COLEY VIDEO??
oh god i remember the day i found out about the queens death
i was coming out of the gym locker room and then my friend was walking around just saying “the queen died”. over half an hour later schools out and literally everyone is talking about it
What’s funny is that day at school we were being sent home early for a threat and on my bus some kids started yelling about who eine the tumbler sexy man vote, than some kid in the seat next to me yelled, “SHUT THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!! THATS MORE IMPORTANT THAT SANS WINNING” and than someone with a speaker started playing “god save the queen” 🤣
Good to know Thursdays are one by one being overtaken for chaos. I’ll keep an eye on it.
My experience with this whole thing started in my sixth hour when this one kid, out of nowhere, stands up and yells, "DID THE QUEEN DIE?!" He then salutes and stands up straight. Given that this kid was a class clown of sorts, I thought he was joking only to find out later that day while scrolling on RUclips Shorts that she ACTUALLY DIED
One thing I’m surprised you didn’t bring up was on the next day, September 9th, Splatoon 3 came out! So in game there were posts about the Queen dying, including “The Queen died so we could get Splatoon 3!”. Fun times.
that day on the stray kids fandom we were joking that lee know killed the queen because he posted a blurry photo of him on bubble followed by the text "a successful escape today" 😭
I woke up in hospital from an asma attack when this happened. It made my day so much better! I love fandom culture
On top of that, earlier that same day, Jschlatt left England and now there’s the joke that he helped Sans kill the queen
“i had NOTHING to do with this”
So basically Diana/Jungkook sent Jschalatt and San to kill the Queen. Got it.
I had somehow temporarily forgotten this insane day until this very moment. I witnessed. All of it.
Great recap, Coley!
7:53 OMORI is a psychological horror game released on December 25th of 2020
Don’t forget that after months of hype, splatoon 3 was dropping the very next day lol
I know in the Splatoon fandom is was the day before the highly awaited third game would release, and when it did there was a lot of memes like “the queen didn’t get to experience splatoon 3” and “grandma has died”
I just remembered that I actually heard the jungkook is princess Diana reincarnated theory, but I actually forgot about it until this video just reminded me again 😭
"Jungcook from BTS is the reincarbation of Princess Diana" is NOT a sentence I ever expected to hear...
I was a part and still is a part of the dream SMP fandom, and when the queen died, everyone said Jshlatt did it
I was in the car with my dad, listening to the radio as we went down to our favourite chippy. It isn't the most local, but it's the best one. A trip down memory lane because we hadn't done that, just the two of us, _on a _*_Thursday_* ("fish and chip day"), in a long time. Then it came on the radio that yes, Queenie had died.
And my dad just said "Yep, thought that was it." He already knew because *all* of the Royal Family had rushed to Scotland to be with her, and all the public was getting was that her health was bad. No, dad knew better, and he was right.
Then schools got fucked over again because the whole country was in mourning and we got days off, so students who had already been buggered by the teachers strikes were now getting buggered by death. I mean, still sad, still a big event, can't believe it's been a WHOLE YEAR since the Queen died, but ouch. RIP GCSEs and A-Levels and Degrees and Masters, I guess. PGCEs too. Just...RIP everything that needed to be taught well and ended up rushed.
But most of all....R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II - the Legend of Immortality Herself
Ironic, because when I got the news I was working an evening shift at the same chippy my mum works at and a customer came in and told us the news. We were completely unaware until then. VL
Me and my friends were staying after school when this happened. I didn't have anything to do so I started scrolling Twitter, I had been keeping up with the tumbler sexy man poll the best I could all day lol, so imagine my surprise when another friend of mine came up to up and said "the queen die". We laughed thinking he was joking but being got serious and said he wasn't joking. We looked it up and sure enough, he was right. As we where losing our minds I saw that Sans won the poll, making us lose our minds more lmao
this vid has been saved in my browser for 2 months because i never had the time to watch it. it was good
the way I learnt about the queens death was in the middle of film class and my friend telling me the queen pulled the same stunt my dad did.. so hearing that then going onto twitter and seeing everything going on was mind boggling
The one thought that ran through my head while watching this video: 'this is so dumb', but I love it.
No but like, this is one of those "You'll remember where you were" moments. And I was in my high school choir class, and my poor director had been trying to get us under control all day because apparently it was just one of those days. Fifteen minutes in, we're finally working, when one of the other students shouts out "GUYS, Hold on a second!" The director humors her and the news goes out. "The Queen is Dead!" Silence, and then Pandemonium. There's confusion and shouting, a class of 50 or so high school girls in utter confusion. The shouter stops us, and reads out the article. There is no hope of saving class. Our director puts her head in her hands. We get five minutes of singing done tops. The rest of the school day I keep hearing about the Queen's death, which was surprising for a midwest high school in America. I also got to see all the memes and had been hearing about the tumblr sexyman contest, sooo, yeah. That's how I heard the Queen died...
At this point I would be more shocked if someone didn't know who Sans Undertale is. He's been in wrestling and Meglovania was performed for the Pope (who was given a copy of Undertale by Matpat) and now he has the death of a royal attached to his name. And this isn't even including the madness that is the Undertale fandom and the Undertale AUs.
To most people, Thursday is when anime girls dance to Hall and Oats.
To me, it's the day that Asuka from Evangelion starts speaking Spanish.
You know, this is also my parents’s wedding anniversary, but this is probably how I’m going to remember this day from here on in
wilbur soot fans thought we saw wilbur on the news outside of the palace after lizzy died, we were all in shambles and in debate LMAO
people blamed wilbur & schlatt for it (jokingly)
as you can tell, i was on wilburtwt at the time. (im no longer on it anymore now im on several band twitters, especially metal bands haha)
A smaller but equally hilarious reaction occurred in the critical role fandom. Critical role airs on a Thursday, and in that night's episode, one of the main characters died. So there were a serious of posts mourning of the loss of "our beloved queen" before showing a picture of that character.
It was joked about that a RUclipsr named jshlatt killed the queen because he had just got back to the states from the uk about the same time that the news was got out
Good ole jschlatt, I can’t believe he actually finished the job after talking about it for so long
Me and my dad heard over the radio about how the queen was ill and I joked that she was immortal.
Then I came home and saw on the news the queen died.
Same
I actually made a "I witnessed this" meme with all the current things happening that day in my graphic design class and posted it on Tumblr while laughing my ass off about it
