Third panel left: a supernatural gothic demon-like figure looming over a person sleeping in a bed; right panel text reads 'Perfection'. The joke relies on comedic exaggeration of dating preferences, where the speaker's request for a goth girlfriend escalates to wanting an extremely edgy, supernatural goth entity.

Origin notes

This meme was originally posted to the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, per the provided RSS source. It repurposes the widely popular Michael Fassbender 'Perfection' reaction meme format, which is commonly used to illustrate increasingly specific or extreme personal preferences being perfectly met. The meme combines pre-existing publicly shared images of goth women and a horror-themed supernatural entity to build its comedic premise.

The image features a woman dressed in goth-style attire, including a black dress, thigh-high black socks, black platform boots, and black harness straps, hanging completely upside down suspended from the ceiling by her boots. Her face is obscured by her long hair, which hangs down nearly touching the floor rug. The background is a casual home interior with exposed wooden beams, a wooden ladder, electric and acoustic guitars, kitchen elements, and wall shelves. A text overlay at the top of the image reads 'how goth girls sleep'. The meme makes an absurdist, exaggerated joke playing on the goth subculture's reputation for edgy, unconventional aesthetics, humorously implying that goth women have equally unusual sleeping habits.

This is a 3-panel Wojak-style comparison meme depicting the progression of a person's personal fashion style across three life periods. The first panel, labeled 'How I dressed in high school', shows an edgy black metal fan Wojak with corpse face paint, long dark hair, a sleeveless black metal band shirt, spiked studded wristbands, and a tattoo. The second panel, labeled 'How I dressed in my early 20s', features a fit bald Wojak wearing a neat pink polo shirt, dark jeans, and a wristwatch, representing a polished young adult normcore style. The third panel, labeled 'How I dress now', shows an older, slightly overweight Wojak in a plain tank top, khaki cargo shorts, flip flops, and sunglasses, holding an energy drink with one hand on his hip, representing a relaxed, low-effort casual style common for middle-aged people. The humor comes from the relatable, often humorous shift from edgy alternative teenage fashion to increasingly casual, practical style as people age.

This meme utilizes the well-known 'Awkward Nervous Kid' template, which features a real young boy sitting at an outdoor picnic table with a visibly tense, uneasy expression, resting his head on one hand. The bold top text reads: **WHEN A GOTH GIRL FINALLY APPROACHES AND ASKS IF I'M DOWN TO GET RUINED**. The humor stems from the relatable feeling of social anxiety and discomfort when faced with an unexpected, bold romantic or social advance, contrasting the kid's awkward, nervous demeanor with the confident, forward question. It plays on the idea of feeling out of one's depth in an unplanned social situation.

A 2x2 grid meme consisting of two images and two corresponding text labels.

The bottom row shows another person wearing gold sunglasses and smiling widely on the left, paired with the text 'depressed people on Reddit' on the right.

This is a 3-panel multi-row meme that uses the popular 'show me the real X' template with Michael Fassbender's Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto) image to rank Robin Hood portrayals. The first panel shows Russell Crowe's serious Robin Hood from the 2010 *Robin Hood* film on the left, with Fassbender on the right demanding 'Show me the real Robin Hood'. The second panel shows Kevin Costner's Robin Hood from 1991's *Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves*, with Fassbender responding 'I said the real Robin Hood' rejecting it. The third panel shows Cary Elwes' Robin Hood from Mel Brooks' parody film *Robin Hood: Men in Tights* (with a comedic visual gag of multiple split arrows stacked on his bow), and Fassbender approves calling this version 'Perfection'. The joke is that the parody comedy version is considered better than the big-budget serious mainstream Robin Hood adaptations.

This humorous single-panel meme is framed as an instructional guide for getting a goth girlfriend. The only step shown, Step 1, displays a digital illustration of a red pentagram summoning circle on a dark stone floor, flanked by three lit candles with purple flames. The joke relies on the common stereotype that people who identify as goth are associated with occult, supernatural, or dark aesthetic themes, exaggerating the difficulty of dating a goth person to the point that a magical summoning ritual is framed as the first required step, implying no regular dating approach would work.

This is a 3-panel reaction meme. The top text reads "When you realize that all these horny Instagram posts with goth girls just make you weaker and ruin your self-esteem:". The three panels feature widely used stills of the Pablo Escobar character from the show *Narcos*, each depicting him looking somber, dejected, and lost in thought: first he sits on an outdoor swing looking off sadly, next he slumps at a dining table staring down, finally he stands alone next to an empty, overgrown pool looking into the distance, all conveying the deflated, disappointed feeling of the realization described in the text.

This meme is a 3-panel collage showing the same woman at her birthday celebrations across three years: the 2019 panel shows her with an unpolished emo/goth aesthetic, messy hair covering her face, smudged dark lipstick, sitting next to a birthday cake with lit candles. The 2023 panel shows her with a refined goth look, neat dark makeup, styled dark hair, smiling next to a yellow fruit birthday cake. The 2024 panel shows her having abandoned the goth aesthetic entirely, wearing a light strapless white dress, grinning happily with her hands clasped in front of her, next to a cake with bright sparklers. Below the collage is a screenshot of a comment section, where the top comment from user MemCrem (with a Gengar Pokemon profile picture) jokes that the woman's former goth identity still talks to her the way the Green Goblin mask speaks to Norman Osborn in Spider-Man media.

This is a two-panel cartoon meme. In the first panel, a young boy with spiky brown hair wearing a red shirt points mockingly at a young, plain-looking goth girl with short black hair and a black dress, laughing and calling her a freak while the girl looks unimpressed. The second panel is labeled 'Years later...': the same boy looks shocked and embarrassed, still pointing, while the goth girl has grown into a very attractive, curvy adult with long black hair wearing a revealing black outfit, leaving the boy clearly regretting his earlier mockery. The joke plays on the common trope of people mocking peers as children only to find them very attractive as adults.

A two-panel reaction meme contrasting responses to someone discovering one's Instagram versus Reddit profile. The left panel features an animated female character with short dark hair, hands covering her mouth in a playful, amused smile, accompanied by the text 'i found your instagram'. The right panel shows a real male individual with short dark hair, displaying a wide-eyed, shocked expression, with the text 'i found your reddit'. The humor stems from the implication that Reddit profiles, often containing more unfiltered or personal content, elicit a more惊慌 reaction compared to the curated, public-facing nature of Instagram accounts.
