    I think Mordetwi is like a cryptid. It’s a blurry photo of bigfoot that we look at and go “ok well there must be a baffling story behind this”. We see two characters who could not be more tonally dissonant from one and other and wonder who decided they should be together and why they made that decision. That classic image raises so many questions that could only fully be answered if you were there ten years ago. Mordetwi tells story

    Personally, I believe the ship or “culture” is as popular as it is because so many of us went through that late 2000s to mid 2010s phase of shipping some of the weirdest shit from all of the craziest fandoms we could find. As much as we like to regret it, some of us used to ship crap like fnaf’s signature Bonnie and Chica, or Discord and Celestia, Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, etc-
    I honestly think your ending sentence sums this up perfectly. “Nostalgia for a time when we weren’t afraid to be cringe on the internet” is simply what this is in every possible sense and I love it.

    On one hand, it has that "loneliness energy" that plagues everything popular, since we're a social species, feeling lonely is something everyone can relate to, it's why breakup songs are usually more popular than happy songs, so a picture with two characters crying because they are separated and thus they feel lonely, is perfect for catching attention
    On the other hand, it's drawn so poorly and the characters have do little in common that you can just smell the "sarcasm energy" oozing off the screen, and that same "energy", has been intoxicating the internet for years and years now, to the point where you can't escape it
    So it's this is a perfect fit for the internet, everyone feels lonely deep down but most of us are too afraid of cringe do show it unless it's while hidden inside countless layers of sarcasm

    I think this just gives me nostalgia from when being cringe wasn't cared about, as you said at the end of the video. 2009-2012 was peak cringe for so many people because a lot of us were much younger and just wanted to create stuff. Then 2015-2017ish came around and posting cringe became the most godawful thing you could do on the internet. Personally, I want there to be a cringe Renaissance. I want to go back to a time where people could just do what they enjoy without being kicked around by people who act like 12-year-olds from the Leafy era of RUclips.

      And it resonates with people in a way thats unexpectedly wholesome because it deals with emotions that are more genuine when they happen irl. It has some depth, oddly, and when people shitpost about it, it just gives it more validity indirectly. Thats how I see it. Because, if you see people acting that way irl, its not necessarily a bad thing, if we compare that to other memes this one is more mature, despite being juvenile in a way still, even adults could relate to wishing for simpler times.

      To be fair, Earthworm Zim wasn't setting a goal to have 20+ chapters, it just happened that the writers (yes, there were at least two) had so much story to write that they had to divide it into _that_ many chapters. Even some of the chapters have to be subdivided into parts; they're only allowed to fit so much into a single Deviation post before they have to continue in another post, hence multiple chapters.

It surprises me that there still is a passionate following, although most of it isn't at all serious, regardless of which platform it's on. I still think it is weird as hell, but seeing just what went into it and where the people behind it are now gives me more of an appreciation for something I, otherwise, wouldn't care about.

    I'll be honest on this. I was a fan of both shows, but also a fan of Adventure Time as well. It was around the time of my late high school years and these 3 shows were a huge impact in my life. Heck, I once go by a username call TwiMordeFinnX, and it's to show much commitment I was to these shows. Honestly, what I'm saying is that this ship, to me, is very odd and babbling. I'm aware of those Modecai and Twilight images, but I personally thought it was a big joke, but now that I'm seeing this ship come back in the 2020s is astounding.

    this meme sorta revitalized a lot of internalized nostalgia for me.
    i used to be extremely into fandoms when i was way younger, around 9-13. being around these types of circles, everyone in love with the media that they consumed, a lot of shipping stuff happened naturally; never partaken in any of that though. i know for myself, i look back on those years extremely fondly since they were such open and inclusive communities for me to express myself in a time and place i really couldn't-- i'd honestly bet there's a lot of overlap between queer communities and fandoms, alongside a lot of neurodivergent tendencies (i see a lot of the "fandoms are cringe" arguments usually coming from neurotypicals.) cuz of those reasons i look back on shit like undertale as a point of reference for example. supernatural, anything with openly LGBTQ characters. and also how fandoms are usually bolstered up by unanimous hyperfixiations by the people in those communities
    i can say for certain that, at least for me, i hold an extreme amount of nostalgia for that whole early 2010s mindset: early 2010s tumblr, accepting communities. i joke saying that, "oh i'd love to be a homestuck fan in 2012," but i actually do feel a sort of connection to that. it's some strange post-2008 recession hauntology that im realizing now that a LOT of people feel. i'm only 18, i've never experienced really much of anything before 2015... but it's persistent in me. maybe it's just my personal lack of a community i can confide and feel comfortable in- maybe a lot of people have felt that due to alienation these days. don't really know honestly.

    It's so weird seeing this meme have this hilarious resurgence in relevance and popularity after seeing it around for years

    The amount of laughter this gem has bought me, from the moment I saw it to this day....
    Sometimes I would randomly think of this during a boring class or when something boring is happening, I think of this and I always end up in tears. Don't know why. It's just such a gem 👏😂
    I- I-- can't 😂😂

    Seeing this ship suddenly become mainstream is such a gutpunch of nostalgic whiplash. I, too, was an active member of the MordeTwi fanclub on dA back in 2012, and even drew fanart for it despite not really 'shipping' it. Rather, I had been following Abigail since BEFORE she even wrote Earthworm Zim for her other cartoon crossover art. I don't even remember what compelled me to join the group.

    The funniest part about mordetwi is the fact that i first saw the bluedog picture in a solar sands video and thought it was really cringey and now i absolutely love it
    God, 10 year old me would be BOILING if she saw how popular mordetwi is now lmao

    Thank you so much for making this. It’s absolutely insane to see any level of influence we’ve had on the internet, but it’s made us really happy. (I am The Gremlin of Cumville from the discord.)
