Whats the significance of the last image? Is it a reference to something?
It’s not exactly an appropriate use of the meme.
The original meme is a stock photo of 4 girls, 3 of them labeled “random internet users just trying to be comedic” and the fourth one labelled “apollo”, preparing to throw a red dodgeball labeled “the gift of prophecy”. It is meant to be used for when someone is just jokingly predicting batshit insane future events, and apollo, the trickster god he is, makes them right.
Examples include a Tumblr user going “can’t wait for the opening scene of the Cruella movie where we find out dalmatians murdered her parents leaving a theater in Gotham city”, before the movie was out. When it turned out that the opening scene really has cruella’s mother being pushed off a cliff by dalmatians, other users began posting the image.
On this post though, it seems it’s being used as a monkey paw stand-in, but it doesn’t really make sense. Apollo’s dodgeball isn’t really a “your wish but in the worst way possible”, it’s “you though you were being funny predicting dumbass shit but actually”.
I think it has to do with the shenanigans around Xitter and Reddit, making Tumblr relatively better
Thanks for the explanation. I must be getting old.
I’m 19 and I did not get this either

This universe, but 4 years later.
