Hello
can we pretend that airplanes ✈️ in the night sky 🌌 are like shooting stars 🌠
no
Indeed

This whole meme is so surreal like, can you imagine drawing something when you're 9 years old and posting it on the internet, and some 10 years later someone has tattooed your drawing on their body
people got that ms paint picture tattooed? PLS ACTUALLY??
@@mxffin_ People already unironically get MLP ship tattoos, not that crazy.
The people that draw this god awful Ms paint "art" are fully grown adults, which make it even more sad.
@@drag7703 This was made by a 9 year old

The MS paint mordetwi pic was Definitely a meme before the recent resurgence, me and a friend had edited pictures of it as our Twitter banners for maybe a year before it became so big. I'm surprised that more people didn't know about it lol, I always thought it was really funny
Agreed

This image was once viral already in "Cringe Compilations" back when distored loud music over images was the height of comedy. Now that Cringe Culture is "dead" and people embrace their cringe, it has blown up much more. We love to see it.
I remember those days
Ahh yes cringe culture…
"cringe Culture is dead"
Yeah tell that to GachaLife
I remember seeing the picture of Mordecai crying in some cringe compilation, and I'm just now I'm just realizing it was from the Mordetwi Airplanes picture
@hell ño
That must be why I miss it so much
The fact your Makeup Is literally the mordetwi picture is so amazing and terrifying
terrifying and wonderful lol
Terriful
it's so normal compared to her other makeups it feels weird looking at her
Gotta admit, I hadn't even noticed that, I just saw her eyes were blue and purple and thought "Oh, those are nice colors, they combine nicely!" and then I read your comment, lol!
She's the goddess of makeup, and i am here for it. It looks always so interesting. It also goes really well with her hair!
I think the most distressing thing about Mordetwi to me is that their colour schemes are so pleasing to me when put together -
Isn't that the colour scheme of the Bisexual flag?
Seriously, the muted blue with the dark purples and pinks and a few bits of black and white... it honestly looks so good
Oh my
Gosh
BEST SHIP EVER, CONFIRMED
YOU'RE NOT IMAGINING IT, that iconic art of Mordetwi absolutely circled around the internet on a smaller scale several years back
yeah i defintiely remember seeing it a year or two ago
@@bluefinger028 I believe I remember it too years back
Yea, I remember seeing it in like 2018 or 2019 on Instagram a few times. Kinda surprised it had such a big resurgence cuz I thought a TON of people had already seen it but I guess it just took another even bigger reminder for it to really take off
yeah I remember seeing it as well
I remember this
This channel for me as an outsider of depicted internet culture is basically "nature is fascinating" but for fandoms.
Its the same for me. Ive never heard about 90% of the stuff her content is based on but its fascinating.
@@Trevor-08 same here! I found her one day and watched ALL of her deep dives, knew nothing about anything but still so interesting
I'm the same way. I've never once gone to tumblr, but between this creator, Strange Aeons and Sarah Z, a decent chunk of the content I watch is the history of a website I otherwise care nothing about.
@@lourdes3952 yeah i watched the homestuck(still not sure what it is) cosplayer dyeing their skin one and did the same.

I've just come to notice how insanely HUGE shipping is in the MLP community. Rainbow Dash x Sonic was big too.
I take that you've also learned that Twilight has been cross paired with a lot of other dudes aside from Mordecai?
The only multiversal ship I ever kind of agreed with
It just works
@@BierBart12 gotta go fast
Most boring ship ever.
What about mlp x tmnt 😦
This image has the same energy to me as My Immortal, where I can’t tell if it was created out of satire or not, and I kind of love that.
This has huge My Immortal energy for sure.
good news! its not satire
@@barraskewda333 how horrifying
What is My Immortal?
@@pinkapetdesigns en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Immortal_(fan_fiction)
It was a fanfic that was so ridiculously “edgy” that it became a huge meme. That’s part of it anyways. I thought Ms. Izzzyzzz had a video on it, but I don’t think she does.
I love how this meme comes back every couple of years BUT IT EXPLODED THIS TIME ! It's awesome haha
YEAH!! I REMEMBER IT USED TO BE HUGE IN 2015 TOO! ig its a generational thing lmao,, everytime a new generation of ppl online pops up it returns
It's so weird to know this is a completely new meme to some people
I’ve known and endured this meme for 5 years and it’s so crazy to see how much it’s blown up this year
it’s now very unfunny though
Yep, I remember seeing this way back in my early days in the MLP fandom (I was in college when the "brony" fanbase was taking off). Back then it was more of a "fandom in-joke" among just MLP fans, but eventually it became an ironic meme elsewhere, and almost a decade later it's bigger than it ever was.
also fun fact: even tara strong (voice actor for twilight) hopped onto the meme and sung the song as twilight
For once I'm glad Friendship is Magic isn't still on the air, otherwise we would totally get an episode with a scene obliquely referencing the meme in like, a year's time
To me, that sounds absolutely amazing and funny as hell-
I mean the next gen is still runn9ing and they will defs ref it
TS reads a book about birdwatching, tries to complete some sort of checklist of birds, only to realize that she can't find any blue jays...so she ultimately has to give up on the blue jay who got away. That's how I would do it if I was in charge of writing cartoon scripts anyway.
Why would you think they do that? Friendship is magic never made any reference to current memes
@@kuu6881 Nah never.
The fact that I never realized that 'ship' comes from 'relationship' is making me think I may not be that clever.
H-how???
oh, honey...
Same, I just thought of canons and ships. Perhaps it’s because of my obsession with pirates, but neither did I.
You're not alone, and I used to copy edit fan fiction for an online group. I actually thought it was called "shipping" because the writers would push or "ship" their characters towards a relationship. I finally found the real meaning when I looked it up.
I realized it thanks to this comment :
I can’t believe I’ve lived 19 years of my life without knowing that “shipping” was derived from “relationships”
I’m so dumb
pfft same lol
How much of that did you know about "shipping" though?
@@eglolships and pirates
You hit me the “Rise of the brave tangled dragons” and I could feel the 2012 in my bones
@Joshua W56 Same, I was waiting for that xD
The poorly editted screenshot comics still haunt me
That was my introduction to the concept of cross fandom shipping/ AUs. Most of the fan art was, uh, interesting beginner photoshop skills on display. And one really good Hogwarts AU drawing of them in first vs seventh year. When was that, like fall of 2012?
ugh yes I remember oof
@Joshua W56 Not to mention someone made a R34 about it and it's cursed. So cursed!
the way that blue and purple became a referential meme…It’s giving me loss tbh. happy to see that legacy continue.
At first I didn’t get this ship, but hearing you read out the scene where it all started made me actually understand why people would get so attached to it. It added a bit more story to it and gave it a new context that’s really sweet. At first I thought their relationship would be full of conflict and stuff, but it’s actually about two heartbroken people finding love together one fateful night. I’m actually kinda intrigued now!
_Gave_ it _new_ context? _Added_ story to it? That's literally what started the ship, that was the origin(al).
Hi, it’s Joey the Airplanes Guy and I freaked when I saw this. Thank you for your nice words and promoting my Ko-fi! I’ve been a fan for a while!

This ship and dynamic is just brilliant. The way they both have their hearts broken, very differently (Twilight unable to find love and Mordecai being rejected by his very own love, Margaret) they are similar but not entirely. They understand eachother. They complete eachother. They NEED eachother.

I had never heard of the fanfic before but from the little blurbs you read the writing is pretty solid, especially for something written by a kid. Honestly I kinda miss the days of "cringy," massive crossover fics, I had a lot of fun writing some of my own.
This is why I love fanfiction so much. People can be so creative and you can really tell this person put in a lot of thought to this and is better than some published books.

That airplanes song started playing on the radio while we were on a car trip and I started SCREAMING
Deviant art was a WILD time back in the early 2010’s. The things I saw that were made out of that era were so strange. The ships between characters on shows totally different from one another, and game franchises that had nothing to do with each other, mixed with people discovering weird kinks, kids just discovering how to draw, and those who were just hopeless romantics with a wild imagination. All of that spawned the most insane art I’ve ever seen. I had to leave that site a few years ago due to inactivity, but the artists on that site can get really creative and are super talented if they put their mind to it
Can confirm, was very active on deviantART in the early 2010's. Still have an account, but the site updates caused most people to move away from the website.
I can confirm all that in addition to the weirdos that'd sometimes request weird fetishy art from you(esp if you didnt know any better..) Very strange place to spend any number of years on.
Then I moved to Tumblr.
@@aspen1713 omg yes, I remember in school being afraid to just get onto the computer because that's how bad Deviantart was on the opening page.
My friend and I used to play a game around this time where we'd go Newest and flip through the pages of recently-submitted art, about 24 per page. If we found a page without any MLP, Homestuck, or Sonic fanart, we won the game. I think we won maybe twice. Eventually we added Lion King to the mix because that was starting to become totally ubiquitous for some reason. Of course, the real prize was the completely bizarre and hilarious fanart we found along the way.
@@RisingSunfish Oh geez, yep, going down memory lane, there was nothing but MLP, Homestuck, Sonic art, and the Lion King back then. But it was mostly the lion king that I saw people using bases or recoloring Kira.
The explanation I've been waiting for.
god why are you here?
Ew, Go milk the hell out of another situation. 🤨
@Derek Martinez Montie what did he do wrong? i'm genuinely asking i've never seen this channel and your comment peaked my interest.

13:14 is absolutely cursed and I hate not only knowing the reference but being confronted with it before I've even started brewing my morning coffee.
The fact this thing is back is astounding to me. It’s always confused me. It’s so weird.
Covid-19 lockdown has allowed people to find old skeletons in the closet of the internet.

Dead memes always comeback somehow
😭😭😭
the image 100% was passed around for quite a few years, i remember seeing it a bunch of times under the premise of it being "cringe"
Remember that quote Izzzy said in her video about Littlest Pet Shops?
Supermassive blackhole levels of cringe.
This meme gives me SO much nostalgia and I'm genuinely so glad it's blown up in the light hearted way it has. I get to laugh at the dumb things kid me thought were cool, but in a way that celebrates it without bashing it. It's just a really wholesome meme and it butters my biscuits and makes the child in me really happy.
The fact that mordetwi came back out of absolutely nowhere, when it was already a meme around when the image came out a few years ago shows how slow 2021 is going.
It's just tiktok's internet explorer brain catching up to things that happened a decade ago, nothing new
Yup, so fucking true
The way Izzy's eyeliner makes it look like Moredcai's beak is just everything
For those who dont know, there was a whole animation MAP (Multi animator project) created on UA-cam. Its glorious and suggest checking it out.
@BlueIsABitConfused yo you can look shit up yourself.
Oh hey! I drew the art at 10:42
I'm so happy that you covered something as crazy as Mordetwi. It's really the strangest, yet iconic crackship out there. I'm still processing the fact that you featured my art in your video though aaaa
your art looks really cool! :3
How the hell do you shade so well omg
@@denisenicole8271 Ahh, thank you!! I redrew the meme before in 2018. Tumblr kinda ate my post up before I could even say anything about it. I'm not quite used to this much love on my art, even for a Mordetwi meme lol
@@LyssTheCorgi Thank you- I actually just kinda slap different brushes together :')
@@bewitchedbygrae You’re very talented. Never stop drawing/painting/etc. You are really good at it
the mordetwi airplanes image was most definitely passed around before, although definitely not to such a mainstream scale. i'm pretty sure it was around the era animation memes and art commentators like solar sands and spoctor theory were huge.
i see it come back like every year or two FHFJFJ
Yeah I agree. I swear Ive seen the mordetwi airplanes image long time ago and I didn't even use DeviantArt.
dang I miss those days
a few months ago before it was popular, i drew a parody of it and then it got mega popular
definitely cuz i was wondering why it was circling again
I can't get enough of the fact that my comfort characters were the first ever popular ship in 1966,,, I'll always have pride in that 🥺👏🏻✨🌌
Same
As a Star Trek fan, I'm proud.
Not gonna lie, I have little interest in most of the stuff you've talked about in your vids, but the way that you talk about the subjects and the way you present your vids has me hooked. You're genuinely damned awesome at this sort of thing and I wish you immense success in the future.
Seriously I couldn’t care less abt the topic, I never knew this existed til this video, but I’m here for the production value and the presentation
I think it’s because she’s an internet child. She just gets it. A lot of other channels like this will just talk about facts but you can tell that they just read it somewhere. Izzy can understand events and contextualise them because she’s grown up on the internet.

Me too and Its good to know why I keep seeing the Bluejay from Regullar Show all over the Internet.
it's a very interesting topic though
My favourite thing about the Mordetwi meme is that a lot of artists/animators have put a lot of effort into their recreations. A crack ship this nonsensical shouldn't inspire actual talent but it does.
Edit: thank you so much for reaching out to the writer of the fanfic because I honestly could not figure out what the dynamic between the two characters would be or why the thought had even crossed the writer's mind
Sometimes stupid shit can be the best thing to pour ur talent into since it’s safe. If u make a rly well made shitpost then you’ve exceeded expectations. If u make average regular art then it’s just that.
Wdym crackships inspire us the most

- It took me a moment for my brain to catch up with why Kirk/Spock potentially has an unfortunate ship name and now I feel like an idiot; I was like “what, ‘Kronk’? ‘Krock’? That’s not so bad - wait OH.”
if the kirk spock shipname was kronk they would simply be too powerful
@Pingo Emperor's New Groove. (For the 'Kronk' bit.)
Honestly "spirk" doesn't sound much batter. If you say it to fast, it sounds just as bad.
Spork forever
I thought it was spork lol
I would like to mention that from this "meme", we get to see a lot of amazing artist's version of the drawing. Like, it's Mordetwi art but it's amazing art.
mordetwi slaps. it's actually genuinely heartwarming to see how positive people are on the original airplanes art, and how something so silly ended up being a pure reflection of unbridled fandom fun. truly a warmer, happier side to the internet!
And to add to the layer of genius: the song _Airplanes_ itself is about reminiscing the simplicity of old times.
The early 10s really was a time when we weren't afraid to be cringe and have fun.
true!!
Ikr so wholesome
Yikes
i thought it was ironic?
I'm invested in to the history behind mordetwi. It's kinda mysterious, last time I checked the original creator has been tracked down but it's crazy how it's still active now-
I definitely missed this one the first time around. I’ve never been part of the DeviantArt community though, so that probably helps.
I know the creator still active
I mean she mentions that
at this point that makes me think it’s satirical
@@denisenicole8271 The last time I looked at anything on DeviantArt was probably 2008. Definitely seems like it had serious LiveJournal/MySpace/FanFiction.net energy in the 2010s.
I can confirm that this was passed around in around 2016-18ish! For me, i found the airplanes image from a solar sands video of "browsing deviantart". unfortunately, i think the video is now lost to time since he deleted a lot of his old deviantart videos.
The fact that people think Twilight would want Mordecai's emotionally immature ass.
She on that grind set. 😤.
EXACTLY YOU GET IT!!!!!!!
The fact that people are taking this seriously.
"EXACTLY YOU GET IT!!!!"
@@ZachAsterisk ..this is also part of the joke tho
We all know Margaret is the one for twilight
Mordetwi was 100% a micro meme back in the day I distinctly remember it.
Same
Hearing so many people say they never saw it the first time around is trippy, I thought it had been bigger than it was
This video has reminded me that we have progressed as a society. I already know that the cartoonlover fanfic is 100% legit, but if that shit was made today, I would be inclined to think the writer was just making the internet's most ambitious shitpost
The mention of Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons slapped so many war flashbacks (mostly involving Frozen) into my skull that I had to pause the video to calm myself down--
In short, I can't wait for that video.

@@emoscotchtape i call it the gen z experience
Imagine uploading a few cringey drawings on dA as a kid and then forgetting about them completely... Only to have one of them revived as a meme a decade later. 😂 And now it's out there, haunting you. Forever.
and someone using the same meme as a tattoo design o.o
I think I saw someone on Twitter claiming to be the original artist of the Mordetwi picture. They said they were a kid at the time and mainly made the picture because they thought they'd get some attention and popularity if they did.
Which I mean, I guess wish granted, though probably not in the way they were expecting lol.
I didn’t have this *exact* thing happen to me… but when I was like 10 I took the strangest picture of some of my toys posing together, and I somehow found someone’s old Facebook post with that photo I had taken, with the caption “lol what the hell” and I’ve no clue how they even found it cause I don’t remember posting it. It was like, a plushie (forgot what exact plushie it was though), with a bunch of MLP figures standing on those miniature finger skateboards surrounding the doll. It was funny lol. But still creeped out wondering how some rando online got that picture of mine 😕
As an old school shitposter and ex 4chan regular I can confirm this was passed around back in the day. I was well aware of this meme before its resurgence in popularity, and was surprised when it made such a comeback.
Izzy being sneaky with the eyeshadow colors. Love it, super cute!
Honestly crossover ships being separate from shipping drama is my favourite thing about them. The way shipping culture has moved steadily from "I like these two characters together" to "I think these two characters should be together in canon" in terms of discourse is kind of annoying, and the way crossover shipping sidesteps the issue because everyone knows they'll never really be together is part of what makes them so appealing for me.
I agree and I prefer it that way
I agree
I love this ship gaining popularity as a meme it’s so nostalgic for me I used to love both these shows as a kid and it’s just silly and harmless thanks for the video !!
You've gotta do a makeup tutorial or "behind the scenes" sometime. Your makeup is sofa king cool and I'm hankering to know how to pull off some new looks
"sofa king cool" lol agree
You know, I never thought I liked makeup *this* over the top (okay not this video, it's probably one of the most "quiet" her makeup has ever been but you know what I mean) as much as I do now, she definitely proved me wrong. Her makeup is absolutely gorgeous everytime and that's fascinating, plus it must take so god damn long to apply, just how ?
Hello there!! I drew the art at 10:36 ! I'm really surprised how it appeared on this video and I wouldn't have found out if my friend didn't send it to me! I didn't know the ship had such a following and only drew it for the trend and to see if I could still draw ponies HAHAHA mordecai was a plus. Thank you for the feature again and I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos!
her videos are defiantly worth to check out more
I really like how you drew Mordecai!
You're arts so good!!!
I've been following Cartuneslover for years, it's crazy to see what gets picked up and what doesn't by the internet and its trends. Despite not even being interested in the ship I joined the group in 2013 and watching it evolve has been absolutely nuts, in a very good way.
This suddenly reminded me of the time someone randomly messaged me on Deviantart and told me all about how they ship Jessica Rabbit and Shaggy from Scooby doo
What a wild ride that was..
I can't believe it took me this long to realize her makeup is inspired by the characters XD It looks so good like always, so I didn't question it lol
9:28 can definitely confirm this. I remember it being passed around and was really confused about it re-poping up in 2020.
Reminds me so much of Non/Disney . A group that ships Disney characters with other franchises or other Disney characters but instead of just art, there is so so much editing that it’s honestly impressive. Recently I got a video in my recommended that was a Non/Disney mep. (Multi Editor Project), they are still growing bigger and it’s a nice rabbit hole to go down. It all started with Jelsa (Jack Frost x Elsa) but they don’t only do ships, they love to do crossovers too.
The thing that really stands out is how well they edit things together to make it look like real footage.

God I'm so glad you're doing a video on this, I was a fan of both shows back in the early 10s and I remember seeing that artwork back in 2012, so I'm like, really confused on how this suddenly became popular
I’ve never watched either of these shows, as I was far outside the target demographic by the point they started. It’s fun seeing other people’s childhood fanart explode in such a huge way.
offtopic but i love your pfp-
Samd here, i was part of both MLP and Regular show fandoms in DA back in 2012-2014, i always knew ships like these existed and i was like "meh". I dont know why people are so hyped about it now
I do remember it going around back around 2017-2018 actually, just on a much smaller scale like you said.
I love that people are having a fun time with this now. Like, it's just a harmless thing and people are making such good art and content for it is just so fun to see.
IKR- i thougt i was having a dejavu when this meme came back
You are not alone. I definitely remember this meme being passed around a bit before 2020 around 2018 and 2019. I first saw it around then posted as memes on discord servers.

could be a mandella effect but I know that, as someone who was on tumblr constantly back in the 2015-2018 timeframe, this year is not the first time the airplanes fanart has gotten passed around as a meme. It didn't get quite as big back then as it is now, but I had definitely seen it.
You’re not crazy it DEFINITELY has been a meme before, just WAY WAY more under the radar
First thing I thought when I saw this was "FINALLY an explaination"
''because they're in the same universe and have probably interacted before''
*laughs in Vinira shipper*
**cackles in RavenBlight (Lilith×Alador)**

*cries in asheiji*
*Nervously looks at Huntric*
*Laughs maniacally in multishipper who ships all of these*
I can’t believe people still remember rise of the brave tangled dragons. I was obsessed with it a few years ago, I got up at six every morning before school to watch the entirety of rise of the guardians for months it was unhealthy.
I was so fascinated with it when I was in primary school, like the edits amazed me they where really good
@@mfriz5317 they genuinely had me thinking that it was going to be a movie they were so well done
You brought back a lot of memories lol
mordetwi is such an adorable little internet phenomenon. every once in a while the internet does something pure
why did you draw anime george washington.....
The mordetwi makeup is on point though! Especially love the star freckles.
**airplane freckles
This meme makes me giggle everytime I see it. Something about it reminds me of my "anime-couples-compilation-2009-rawr-xD" phase. I know it's not an anime but you know what I mean 😭
Please I thrived during that time 😭😭
Anything can be anime if you want it hard enough
Not me going thru 2009 scene phase like right now despite being 20 ✋😩
This meme was absolutely passed around before 2020. It was one of my favourites and I’m honestly super happy to see it pop back up again just because it’s a silly thing that I recognize and can laugh along with
I love how the makeup is blue and purple to represent MordeTwi-
3:08 "Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragon, which will be getting its own video"
CRAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIINNN...
Ok…but this is really cute. I don’t understand the ship but it’s super neat to see all the creative works random people have produced! Looks like a lot of fun! Wholesome!
EMBRACE THE MEME!
I love how your make up matched the theme
i remember when the mspaint mordetwi was going around for the first time as a meme and i was very surprised to see it back again at such an insane volume
Okay, that tattoo with "the industrial revolution and it's consequences" written beneath it was hilarious and I absolutely want a tattoo like it some day
Imagine future historians trying to decypher this.
Do you think that they'll talk in memes instead of professional language.
@@caffeinegremlin5636 in the future, memes will be professional and regular language
Now that I think about it, I think there's something kind of heartbreaking about the MordeTwi shipping, in that if you put it in context, it probably isn't a ship at all. Twilight is singing about her heartbreak over Red, and Mordecai is singing about his one sided feelings over Twilight. There never was a ship, they were both upset about one sided unrequited feelings.
I've been on tumblr since 2012 and it absolutely was a popular meme when it first came out
"Why would the alternate ship for Kirk and Spock be so bad- Oh now I see." As someone who was big into Hunger Games and was team Katniss/Peeta, I should have seen that coming.
CAN WE PRETEND THAT AIRPLANES IN THE NIGHT SKIES ARE LIKE SHOOTING STARS
I could really use a wish right now
I COULD REALLY USE A WISH RIGHT NOW,
WISH RIGHT NOW WISH RIGHT NOW
I COULD REALLY USE A WISH RIGHT NOW, WISH RIGHT NOW, WISH RIGHT NOW
I wanna go back to the days
Before this was a job
Before i got paid
You definitely weren't imagining that MordeTwi drawing going around 2017 Tumblr because I remember that, too. I did a redraw and an additional piece of fanart for the ship back then, it was being spread around as a meme and in the MLP fandom.
Izzy I am so happy you're doing this. Trying to explain this to my friends has been impossible
This is such a well done video and I’m so glad one of my friends alerted me to it, but I’m losing my mind that’s my Mordetwi art at 10:43 with the chalk art. I put that out there as a j o k e I’m-
OMG!! when I found that it made me laugh so much I just had to include it 😭 You are truly a master of chalk!!
@@Izzzyzzz thank you so much!! 🥺 ❤️
9:40 no, it definitely passed around before that. I remember it being passed around on da, which was where I was around the time you described. It blew up in 2020 though
