The world of storytelling often comes with its unique set of challenges and humorous frustrations. This has been hilariously encapsulated in a meme featuring a tweet by Viano Oniomoh, known for their engaging social media presence. The meme combines Oniomoh's tweet with a two-panel scene from a movie, creating a perfect blend of humor and relatability that has resonated widely with writers and creatives online.

Viano Oniomoh's tweet reads, "That feeling when you get a brand new story idea, but it literally has no plot yet, just vibes." This tweet, accompanied by emojis—a purple heart and a rainbow flag—captures a common sentiment among writers: the excitement of a new idea that is still nebulous and unstructured. The tweet is a headshot of Oniomoh, smiling with curly hair and glasses, adding a personal touch to the relatable frustration.

The meme's visual component features a well-dressed man in a two-panel scene. In the left panel, the man's exasperated expression, with furrowed brows and a slightly open mouth, is captioned with, "It makes no damn sense." This perfectly captures the initial confusion and frustration of grappling with a new idea that lacks coherence. The right panel shifts to a more contemplative expression, with the man slightly squinting as he looks ahead. The caption, "Compels me though," humorously reflects the irresistible allure of the new idea, despite its lack of structure.

The meme has sparked a variety of reactions and comments from social media users. One user, referencing G.K. Chesterton, commented, "Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed," drawing a parallel between the struggles of storytelling and the triumphs depicted in fairy tales. Another user humorously remarked, "*Eight* names? In THIS economy?.... Well, what are they?" pointing out the complexity of creating characters and naming them.

Other comments reflect on the broader implications of the meme. One user likened the experience to watching "Mandalorian Season 1," describing it as soothing and random, before contrasting it with later seasons where the plot became more intense. Another user shared a creative anecdote about writing an essay on Smokey Bear, only to lose points for "misinformation."

The meme also brought up discussions about different genres of metal music, the challenges of modern technology for young people, and even a reference to an episode of "The Dollop" podcast about American vampire panic.

Overall, Viano Oniomoh's meme has sparked a broad range of discussions, showcasing the universal and often humorous struggles of storytelling. The combination of a relatable tweet and a perfectly matched movie scene has made this meme a hit among writers and creatives, providing both a laugh and a sigh of understanding.

#4 “Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.” -G.K. Chesterton

#1 This is how I felt with Mandalorian Season 1, it just felt so soothing, doing random things and watching how everything technically works. Of course the success got to Disney and they started pushing the plot a lot harder in Season 2 and 3...
