Doomer existential crisis interrupted by lilacs
Dialogue
Overview
This is a two-panel relatable meme using the popular Doomer Wojak character format. The top panel features a drawn, wrinkled, exhausted-looking Doomer Wojak paired with text expressing an extremely bleak existentialist outlook: that the world is cruel, unjust, there is no harmony in the universe, and the only constant is suffering. A divider separates this from the lower panel, which is labeled 'MINUTES LATER'. The lower panel shows the same Doomer Wojak with a soft, blushing, pleased expression, next to the text 'omg lilacs' and a photograph of a lush, blooming cluster of purple lilac flowers on a bush. The humor comes from the sharp contrast between the character's earlier extreme, all-consuming pessimism and how immediately he is cheered up by a small, simple, pleasant natural sight.
