The True Story for How Among Us Became a Meme

WHY THE FRICK DID I DO THIS AT 9 PM?! 🗿💀

There was a lone sussy baka wandering around. He was the classic red imposter we know today, but this story takes place before he was popularized in late 2020. You see, he was taking a stroll. In a meme forest where memes were hung on trees. There were memes that ranged from Powerful Shaggy to Stonks to classic legends like Philosoraptor. This little imposter looked with fascination, his face screen sparkling against some really dank memes. He desperately wanted to touch the sky with them. But he knew it took sheer luck to even be mentioned for a week. Imposter kept walking with his eyes fixated up above. Fog increased its presence everywhere. Even if it smelled like weed, the imposter didn’t care. However, he heard some wheezing straight ahead. And it wasn’t the good kind like Carl Wheezer. 

  Imposter jolted his short neck to view Illuminati, a tall muscular figure with a bathrobe on. He was sitting on a beach chair holding weed in one hand and Doritos Chips in the other.

   “Hello,” came from Illuminati’s non-existent mouth. His voice was quite charming for a smoker who caused a fog in the forest. Red Imposter blurted, “Are you okay?” without any thought.

  “Yes….Not really,” he lied.

“I’m afraid I’m fading away quickly..cough cough..I’ll end up like the rest of the forgotten memes.”

  “But at least…I’m not alone in this journey.”

He was not wrong in his last sentence. Many memes died out of relevancy and new ones replaced them just like that. Strangely enough, new batches of memes almost mimicked the past decade’s old versions. And this gave Imposter an idea. He said, “Let me take your role. If the 2010s were about you, then maybe the 2020s will be about me.”

The grand Illuminati simply shook his hand with the weed.

  “It’s not that easy my dear companion. It would be once in a blue moon when–” He collapsed out of his chair into a coughing fit. Doritos spilled everywhere and the weed disintegrated when it touched the floor. Imposter went closer to pick up his idol, bending his knees and back and using his full strength. Surprisingly, Illuminati wasn’t so heavy with those muscles. In a moment where he should be crying, this was a tender moment. It felt special, to be with a legend like the Illuminati. He almost forgot he was dying for a moment. 

  His coarse voice whispered, “Fuse..with me…I will transfer my powers…onto you..”

  Baffled by Illuminati’s sudden change of thought, Imposter agreed and the two started to fuse together. It was like some weird otherworldly sex.  They must have enjoyed it because it took one WHOLE YEAR for them to stop glowing like disco jellyfish.

After 2020 came around, Imposter woke up in a new form. He was bigger than before and he inherited the same muscular body Illuminati had.

  Red Imposter wanted to show off his biceps to his idol (is Illuminati really just an idol at this point in the story? Who knows) but he remembered that he was long dead. The beautiful tree in front of Imposter even proved this by holding Illuminati’s face wide and high. Feeling wistful and proud, he wanted to honor him by yelling loudly. If Illuminati had a sexy deep voice, so could he. Sussy Baka Red Imposter clapped his hands, rubbed them together, and let out a deep noise that pierced the fabric of his universe and swarmed into our dimension, forever echoing to this day:
