The Twitter meme actually began with a pretty genius reference to the children’s book Holes by Louis Sachar. Then a tweet about Romeo and Juliet really blew the meme up. — trash jones (@jzux) June 8, 2021 And someone decided to bring Hamlet into it as well (not Shakespeare’s most romantic play…alas). — SparkNotes (@SparkNotes) June 9, 2021 Dating apps also might be preferable to being stalked like Christine in The Phantom of the Opera. — an*m🦋 (@discoursediwane) June 10, 2021 You can always count on Jane Austen Twitter to show up for a good meme. — same old ghost 🍂 (@sameoldghost) June 9, 2021 And some mythology deep cuts appeared on Twitter as well! — Lane (@lanewriteswords) June 10, 2021 — M 🌙 (@m_bee4) June 10, 2021 — The League of Rupert Penry-Jones Fans (@LeagueOfRPJFans) June 10, 2021 — quinboot (@i_quinboot) June 10, 2021 A Percy Jackson mention for a more modern take on Greek mythology! — Liv ✨🏛✨ Myths, Baby! (@mythsbaby) June 9, 2021 — Flint Dibble 🍖🏺📖 (@FlintDibble) June 9, 2021 — Anthony (@noluckst2) June 9, 2021 — Kim Parkes 🏛🏺🏛 (@BerleyParkes) June 9, 2021 The Brontë sisters’ classic novels Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights were referenced. — Morgan Pirozzi (@morganpirozzi) June 10, 2021 Also a Gatsby mention for another classic problematic romance. — Toby Stephens News (@tobysnews) June 10, 2021 — R.B. Thorne (@ThornsAbound) June 10, 2021 Of course, Bridgerton fans made an appearance (if you know, you know…and you’re very excited for the upcoming season two). — Jess Lulka (she/her/hers) (@jlulks) June 10, 2021 We all knew Twilight wasn’t going to be left out. — out of context Bridgerton (@NoContxtBee) June 9, 2021 For a deeper cut literary vampire reference. — sierra elmore (@SierraWritesYA) June 11, 2021 — 🌈gogo boots gay jesus🌈 (@smiggiekayak) June 9, 2021 Seriously, finding love like Sophie in Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones might be easier. — Addison Peacock (@Addison_Peacock) June 11, 2021 And who wouldn’t rather fall in love through a scavenger hunt through the Strand bookstore, like Dash and Lily? — Ashley Poston (@ashposton) June 10, 2021 Adam Silvera joined the meme with a reference to his own (heartbreaking!) YA novel They Both Die at the End. — Nakia Stephens 🗣 (@nsteps_) June 9, 2021 I love a good Oscar Wilde reference! — ADAM (@AdamSilvera) June 12, 2021 And this call back to Mr. Hoppy and Mrs. Silver in Esio Trot (a favorite children’s book of mine) really warmed my heart. — ritz ☭ (@ahsitir) June 10, 2021 Hope these “deleting my dating apps” memes brought a chuckle to your day. And good luck to all the readers who are looking for love either on dating apps or in literature! — angbeen / انگبین 🇵🇸 (@nahoosat) June 10, 2021
