the YouTube meme

You're at the public library, on one of the computers. Or maybe you're at Starbucks with your laptop out, or you're waiting at the bus stop with your smartphone. Whatever the location, you're watching a YouTube video - and it looks like someone's trying to watch over your shoulder.
 

 How to Play

» Comment with your character. Describe the video they're watching, or at least provide a link to it.

» Tag each other! React to the videos, ask "What are you watching?", etc.
» That's it.

Aziraphale | Good Omens

[sohoangel]

[Nothing to see here, just an angel at a café watching a funny snake video on his smartphone.]

[skeksisheretic]

[skekGra can't help but notice the video. He has something of a fondness for reptiles.]

That looks like some kind of Earth animal. A bit like the locksnakes from my planet.

...is it all right? It's acting like it's sick.

[sohoangel]

It is an Earth animal, a snake. A hognose snake, to be specific. But don't worry, it isn't actually sick. It only pretends to be dead so that it won't be eaten by predators.

[He gives skekGra a reassuring smile before returning his attention to the screen.]

Or, at least in the case of one melodramatic serpent that I know, it's a way to avoid doing any chores.

[skeksisheretic]

A very theatrical creature, then. It's putting on a very good act from what I can see. It even flips itself back over when that person's trying to set it upright. How committed!

[The Skeksis leans in to get a closer look. He respects good theater in any species.]

An interesting trick. So, the friend you mentioned does this, too?

[sohoangel]

[Aziraphale tilts the phone so that skekGra can get a better look.]

It does, doesn't it? The tongue hanging out of its mouth is a nice touch, too.

My partner, Crowley. He can transform into a snake and shares some characteristics with one. This 'playing dead' trick is not an instinct for him, and yet he has emulated it in the past. Just about discorporated me the first time I saw him do it.

[While Kunimi may not be highly academic as a rule - smart, but not a model student - his study of early meme culture is very serious.]

Shouta Aizawa/Eraserhead | My Hero Acadamia

[threatens_expulsion]

[He's not watching baby cat videos again when he should be doing something important, honest.]

Shu Itsuki | Ensemble Stars

[oshisan]

[He's at a library computer, watching intently while this video plays. The volume is turned low and the song can be faintly heard.]

Dorothy Catalonia | Gundam Wing

[supercilium]

[ Dorothy is working her way through a variety of highly information dense videos on great historic battles. You know, teenage girl things. ]

Rose "the Hat" O'Hara | Doctor Sleep (book-verse)

[sabbatha_hanti]

[ You absolutely know that Buzzfeed Unsolved is still a thing in her universe.

Yep. The bewilderingly gorgeous lady in the hat at the next table over is watching a video called "The Bizarre Lost Town of Jerusalem's Lot," and the look on her face is... indescribable.

If you were looking very closely over her shoulder, the text on the screen currently reads:

The b- uh, the big question here is, how many times does the average small town in Maine typically burn down within the space of like thirty years?

Did you just almost call that 'the burning question'?

Almost. Yeah.

Yeah. Well. The answer is, I think... typically zero times. ]

Yoon Tae Min | What Lies At The End

[startfromnothing]

[He's at an internet cafe and watching very intently an older news report featuring an interview with an older woman in front of a rather run down little house. He looks extremely focused, and particularly angry as he listens to it with his headphones in, subtitles scrolling by as she talks about the place behind her, and answers a question about missing people.]
