The sound, which was uploaded to TikTok in July by the user @liqterary, has been used in over 198,000 videos.Many of the videos show a creator reaching for an object like a tooth or eyeliner pen, only to look down and realize that they've accidentally brushed their teeth or attempted to apply makeup with a <keyword id="12454218" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="shaving" source="Orion">shaving</keyword> razor. At least 50 videos associated with the trend have over 1 million likes and many have view counts in the millions as well.The below videos include dramatizations of injuries.

In that time, it's expanded past the specific toothbrush and razor combo to include other items like combs and eyeliner pencils. Other users also began to parody the trend, showing themselves trying to shave with their toothbrushes instead of razors and using the wrong objects for other tasks. In one video, TikTok user @yeedasu put a mesh cover (like those used to package Asian pears) over a dog's snout instead of brushing the dog.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"XO, Kitty" is a Netflix teen drama spun off of the "To All The Boys" series.</li><li>The series stars Anna Cathcart as Kitty Song Covey, as she attends high school in Seoul.</li></ul>In 2023, Netflix decided to take the "To All the Boys" franchise in a new direction — by following Lara Jean's younger sister, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/netflix-teaser-all-the-boys-spinoff-xo-kitty-korea-seoul-2023-4">Kitty, to high school in Seoul.</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/xo-kitty-netflix-to-all-the-boys-recap-2023-5">"XO, Kitty"</a> follows the youngest Covey sister (Anna Cathcart) as she finally casts aside her matchmaker role, chasing romance for herself in South Korea. Intending to surprise her long-distance boyfriend Dae, who she met on a family trip to Seoul, she enrolls in his international high school — coincidentally, the same one that her mother attended as a teenager. Upon arrival, she's promptly shuffled into romantic shenanigans befitting of any teen drama, and spends a semester learning both about herself and her family history.There's plenty to love about "XO, Kitty," from its bangers-only <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/xo-kitty-k-pop-songs-soundtrack-netflix-good-2023-5">K-pop soundtrack</a> to its colorful cast of characters. While you're waiting for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/xo-kitty-season-2-renewed">season two of the series</a>, here are some other shows that you can check out in the meantime.<h2>1. "Never Have I Ever"</h2><div type="image" title="devi in never have i ever, smiling optimistically and wearing a red jacket" height="2400" width="3200" msid="105482737" hostid="261" sizebytes="542932"></div>Summary: "Never Have I Ever" stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar, a high schooler living out some of her messiest years before college.

The series concluded with a fourth and final season that premiered in June. That means it's fully bingeable at your leisure, without having to wait around on any <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/never-have-i-ever-maitreyi-ramakrishnan-final-season-netflix-interview-2023-2">cliffhanger endings</a> — and yes, there's at least one of those.Why you'll like it: If you liked the off-the-walls teen drama in "XO, Kitty," you'll probably like it in "Never Have I Ever" too."Never Have I Ever" is streaming on Netflix.<h2>2. "Business Proposal"</h2><div type="image" title="business proposal kdrama still" height="720" width="960" msid="105482739" hostid="261" sizebytes="46894"></div>Summary: Netflix's Korean-language series "Business Proposal," based on the webtoon series of the same name, follows Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong), a corporate worker. Ha-ri fills in for her friend Jin Young-seo (Seol In-ah) on an arranged date, intending to behave so poorly that the mystery guy rejects her and moves on. However, her date turns out to be Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop), the CEO of the food company where Ha-ri works — and even worse, he's determined to marry her to get his meddling grandfather out of his dating life.Why you'll like it: For a healthy dose of trope-y, K-drama goodness (this time with a cast of adults), this is your pick. "Business Proposal" is slightly more mature than "XO, Kitty," but it has the same goofy spirit — on top of, frankly, one of the hottest kisses (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL59Hs7x5tI">spoilers</a>!) ever seen on television. Its 10 episodes are well-worth your time, if you're looking to while away a weekend with some delightful, soapy drama."Business Proposal" is streaming on Netflix.<h2>3. "Heartstopper"</h2><div type="image" title="Kit Connor and Joe Locke Heartstopper" height="720" width="960" msid="105482740" hostid="261" sizebytes="61910"></div>Summary: This British coming-of-age series, which is based on Alice Oseman's comic series of the same name, follows gay teenager Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and his budding relationship with rugby star Nick Nelson (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/heartstopper-star-kit-connor-forced-to-out-himself-as-bisexual-2022-11">Kit Connor</a>). The show features an ensemble cast of queer characters as well, each exploring their own identities and relationships.Why you'll like it: If you want more teen drama, but perhaps not quite as fast-paced, you should check out <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/heartstopper-scenes-vs-original-comic-netflix">"Heartstopper."</a> It's much less chaotic than "XO, Kitty" — but if you're looking for some good pop-music needle drops, and a heavy pour of teenage whimsy, it's a safe bet."Heartstopper" is streaming on Netflix.<h2>4. "So Not Worth It"</h2><div type="image" title="carson and se-wan in so not worth it. carson is cradling se-wan's face, who is smiling" height="1378" width="1837" msid="105482741" hostid="261" sizebytes="439436"></div>Summary: "So Not Worth It" follows a group of college students living together in an international dorm at a Korean university.

The stakes in "So Not Worth It" aren't particularly high, but if you're looking for a similarly diverse cast, school shenanigans, and laughs, it'd be a good one to check out."So Not Worth It" is streaming on Netflix.<h2>5. "Ouran High School Host Club"</h2><div type="image" title="haruhi fujioka in ouran high school host club. she's an animated teenager with short cropped brown hair and a blue suit, with roses behindher" height="600" width="800" msid="105482742" hostid="261" sizebytes="33806"></div>Summary: A classic that any anime fan should watch or read in their lifetime, "Ouran High School Host Club" follows Haruhi, a new scholarship student at an academy for rich kids. After breaking an expensive vase while looking for a quiet place to study, she's forced to pay back her debt by working for the school's host club — a group of idle young men who politely host and chatter with the school's girls. The twist? The host club members, by virtue of Haruhi's short hair and masculine clothing, assume she's a boy — and she begins working off her debt as a host before they realize she's not.Why you'll like it: The shenanigans on "XO, Kitty" are a delightful match for the rambunctious energy of 2000s anime comedy "Ouran High School Host Club." The show also features some thoughtful ruminations on gender and adolescent friendship — but at it's core, it's just a ton of fun."Ouran High School Host Club" is available to stream on Hulu and Crunchyroll.<h2>6. "Grey's Anatomy"</h2><div type="image" title="Ellen Pompeo in navy blue scrubs" height="800" width="1067" msid="105482744" hostid="261" sizebytes="38376"></div>Summary: Watching the first season of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/greys-anatomy-13-biggest-behind-the-scenes-controversies-2022-3">"Grey's Anatomy,"</a> which has starred Ellen Pompeo for most of its 19-season run, is a bit like reading a textbook. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/greys-anatomy-meredith-grey-derek-shepherd-relationship-timeline-merder-ellen-pompeo">Meredith Grey</a> (Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), George O'Malley (T.R. Knight), and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) muddle their way through their medical internship at Seattle Grace Hospital, it's hard not to feel like creator Shonda Rhimes is laying down the law for romantic dramas for years to come.Why you'll like it: If "XO, Kitty" nailed soapy, romantic tropes, it was "Grey's Anatomy" that made those tropes part of the television canon. You don't have to watch all of "Grey's" to appreciate the brilliance of its early seasons — or to get sucked into the delightful, trope-y romance. That said, it's also quite a bit more mature than "XO, Kitty," and probably not a great bet if you can't stomach at least a bit of on-screen medicine."Grey's Anatomy" is streaming on Netflix.<h2>7. "The Summer I Turned Pretty"</h2><div type="image" title="Lola Tung in &quot;The Summer I Turned Pretty&quot; season two." height="2000" width="2667" msid="105482748" hostid="261" sizebytes="94406"></div>Summary: Adapted from Jenny Han's trilogy of the same name, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/the-summer-i-turned-pretty-ending-season-two-plot-summary-2023-7">"The Summer I Turned Pretty"</a> follows follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin (Lola Tung), a teenager whose family spends the summers with her mother's friend — and her two sons. As Belly approaches her 16th birthday, her relationships with the boys change, and she starts to come into her own.Why you'll like it: This is another show in the broader Jenny Han-verse (Han wrote "To All The Boys" and is the showrunner of "XO, Kitty"). For another romance-savvy coming-of-age story, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is a good bet."The Summer I Turned Pretty" is streaming on Prime Video.

Under CEO and founder Farhad Massoudi, the Fox-owned platform has grown to more than 51 million monthly active users since its 2014 launch and is doubling down on original content to serve them.With theaters and production shut down, Universal film chairwoman Donna Langley put DreamWorks' animated movie "Trolls World Tour" on video on demand. It marked the first time a major studio's new release was available at home instead of exclusively in theaters — generating a new revenue stream that all Hollywood studios now capitalize on to reach audiences in the multiplex and on the couch. And in a pivot that industry observers have been anticipating for several years, the top streamers this year made big inroads into live sports, with tech giants Amazon and Apple both inking huge league deals (even Netflix dipped its toe in the waters with a bid on Formula One racing).In a groundbreaking move, Amazon snagged the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/presentation-amazon-sports-nfl-thursday-night-football-fuel-ad-business-2022-10">exclusive streaming rights for the NFL's "Thursday Night Football.</a>" Behind the coup was global sports VP Marie Donoghue, who's also been acquiring sports rights around the globe. And at Apple, Services lead Eddy Cue is overseeing Apple TV+'s deals with MLB and MLS, with an appetite for more.As sports content heats up, more athletes have added producing to their resume — LeBron James and his partner Maverick Carter have led this group with their company, SpringHill, developing a range of businesses and investing in other top pros like Naomi Osaka.While many in Hollywood fear that marginalized voices could get sidelined in a tougher market, 2022 has seen more storytelling and content elevating previously excluded communities. With more films being released directly to streaming — and being seen there by increasingly diverse audiences — <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/03/ucla-hollywood-diversity-report-2022-findings-1234985280/">has meant broader opportunities</a> for creators of all backgrounds.Native voices in particular have emerged in the last two years after decades of marginalization and stereotyping, and Sterlin Harjo, the showrunner of Hulu's award-winning "Reservation Dogs," is at the vanguard of this shift. A storyteller who's expanded Hollywood's reach in another way, writer-producer Taylor Sheridan has successfully leveraged the streaming era by appealing to rural audiences. His twist on the Western, Paramount Network's "Yellowstone," became the biggest show on cable spun off a streaming hit with Paramount+ prequel series "1883," the platform's most successful original so far. (And the "Yellowstone" universe is still growing, as is demand for other Sheridan projects.)The power of video-based social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube has also continued to offer new pathways for creators to build stardom through community. TikTok owes its ubiquity in part to the millions of creators who make entertaining content for the app. And helping nurture that community is Kudzi Chikumbu, its global head of creator marketing, whose team has worked on several initiatives to support underrepresented groups, including a #BlackTikTok program and Casa TikTok effort to amplify content from Latinx creators.Then there's Webtoon Americas, a digital comics company that's paved new ways for creators to express themselves, find audiences, and monetize their passions. Some Webtoon Originals have even become hit TV shows, like Netflix hit "All of Us Are Dead." As CEO Ken Kim told Insider, "It's not just professional creators — they are from all over the world."The proliferation of platforms for entertainment and storytelling has helped amplify fledgling and established stars alike — from Dream, a Minecraft streamer who's built a vital community that's allowed him to cash in with ads and subscriptions, to Lizzo, who engages with her 25 million-plus TikTok followers on everything from body positivity to her skincare routine to the challenges of being in the public eye.Even as the entertainment industry and creator economy face economic headwinds in the coming months, these artists, dreamers, and doers are ensuring there will be rich new opportunities to tell stories and connect with audiences worldwide.

Streaming enters a new reality with a boom in sports and drive for profitability as fresh voices continue to break through with innovative storytelling on new platforms

<ul><li>Apple TV+ is launching in South Korea on November 4.</li><li>The launch will feature Apple’s first Korean-language series ‘Dr. Brain.</li><li>The sci-fi series stars Lee Sun-Kyun from the Oscar-winning movie Parasite.</li></ul>Apple is launching its streaming service <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/news/apple-tv-stumbled-at-launch-but-has-since-released-shows-to-word-of-mouth-buzz-and-critical-acclaim/slidelist/82536273.cms">Apple TV+</a> in South Korea on November 4. The iPhone maker is also debuting its first Korean series on the same day. Titled “Dr. Brain”, the series is a sci-fi drama, and it’s based on a popular webtoon with the same name. For those unaware webtoons are digital comics that originated in South Korea. The sci-fi series features Lee Sun-kyun from the Oscar-winning movie Parasite who plays a brain scientist Sewon. A mysterious accident takes the life of his family after which Sewon decides to find out what happened. Sewon conducts “brain syncs” which is basically like hacking into the brains of the dead to access their memories for clues. The story follows Sewon who from a young age has been known to have a “very unique” brain and who could become a new type of genius. It’s after his family’s death that he conducts these brain experiments where he’s lying next to the dead with his brain and that person’s brain synced together to dig into their memories. The trailer continues to show that Sewon starts hallucinating about these memories appearing before him even when he’s not conducting the experiments.

Apple TV+ joins the Korean wave with first sci-fi series about hacking brains

<ul class="summary-list"><li><keyword id="11892922" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="netflix" source="Orion">Netflix</keyword>'s "<keyword id="13179668" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="all-of-us-are-dead" source="Orion">All of Us Are Dead</keyword>" follows a group of Korean high school students in a zombie outbreak. </li><li>The first season's revelatory final moments leave the door open for a second season of the show.</li></ul>"All of Us Are Dead," a Korean zombie thriller directed by Lee Jae-kyu and Kim Nam-su, hit Netflix on January 28. In that time, the series, <a href="https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2022/02/09/culture/gamesWebtoons/webtoon-kzoombie-all-of-us-are-dead/20220209153158652.html">which is based on the popular Webtoon comic "Now at Our School" by Joo Dong-geun</a>, has become <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/all-of-us-are-dead-netflixs-biggest-series-right-now-2022-2">one of the most popular on Netflix globally.</a>The series, <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/02/all-of-us-are-dead-no-1-on-netflix-viewership-milestone-korean-drama-1234926926/">which reached number one in Netflix's top ten titles</a> a week after its release, follows a group of teens who have to fight their way out of their high school, which becomes the epicenter of a zombie outbreak in the fictional Korean city of Hyosan. As the virus, created by a scientist who is a teacher at the school, spreads throughout the town, the situation becomes more and more dire as the government's resources — and rescue bandwidth — stretch further and further. While the show isn't yet confirmed for a second season, it leaves the door open for further possibilities and ramifications of the Hyosan epidemic. Here's a run down of everything that happened in the ending of "All Of Us Are Dead," and what questions still remain. Warning: Major spoilers for the entirety of "All of Us Are Dead" season one are ahead. <div type="image" title="Still from 'All Of Us Are Dead'" height="4388" width="5850" msid="89593063" hostid="261"></div><h2>On-jo doesn't find Cheong-san when she returns to the school to look for him </h2>After almost a full season of build-up, On-jo accepted Cheong-san's name tag in the season's penultimate episode 11, a gesture the show establishes as meaning one student wants to be in a relationship with another, kissing him after Gwi-nam bit him.His fate likely sealed by the bite, Cheong-san sacrifices himself in the finale to lure the zombies away from his friends in the construction building. Gwi-nam finally catches up to him, succeeding in gouging out his eye the same way Cheong-san had gouged out his earlier in the season, but the pair are later caught in the explosion. On-jo returns to the school with Su-hyeok and Nam-ra, but they don't find Cheong-san. Nam-ra, with her heightened half-zombie (or "hambie") senses, tells On-jo that she doesn't smell anyone in the building. <h2>Soldiers sweep Hyosan, killing any zombies that weren't caught in the bombings</h2>Following the four bombings, the military sweeps through the city, killing any straggling zombies and marking certain zones safe or restricted. There's a brief shot of Cheong-san's mother's restaurant, Cheong-san Chicken, which is marked as a safe zone. <div type="image" title="all of us are dead" height="1202" width="1603" msid="89593066" hostid="261"></div><h2>On-jo, Su-hyeok, Dae-su, Mi-jin, Ha-ri, and Hyo-ryeong make it to the quarantine facility</h2>Following the bombings, the group of teen survivors makes their way through the city. Things seem safe until Nam-ra hears a group of zombies coming for them. In the ensuing battle, Wu-jin gets bitten, leading Nam-ra to have to snap his neck so he doesn't attack anyone else. Later, unable to control her urges, Nam-ra attacks On-jo, but stops herself from biting her and runs away. Only six students — On-jo, Su-hyeok, Dae-su, Mi-jin, Ha-ri, and Hyo-ryeong — make it to the military barricade, where they're escorted to safety in the quarantine facility. Over half of the original group of students died along the way, including I-sak, Gyeong-su, Ji-min, Na-yeon, Joon-seong, Min-jae, and (apparently) Cheong-san. <h2>The surviving residents of Hyosan remain in quarantine, even months after the crisis</h2>A flashforward in the finale shows that three months and 17 days after martial law was declared in Hyosan, the National Security Council lifts it. However, residents of Hyosan remain in quarantine given that the incubation period of the Jonas virus, which causes people to turn into zombies, still remains unknown. Donations from other parts of the country flood into Hyosan, where residents are kept contained and are subject to curfews.There's also a National Assembly hearing set to take place regarding the bombing of Hyosan, but news reports in the show say that party leaders agreed to indefinitely postpone it until the epidemic was resolved. This follows military commander Jin Seon-moo taking full accountability for the situation on video, and later dying by suicide in the wake of the bombing. <h2>On-jo tends to a memorial for her dead friends outside of the quarantine area</h2>On-jo ventures outside of the quarantine facility on what seems to be a regular basis, leaving snacks at a tree adorned with ribbons that hold messages for I-sak, Cheong-san, and Nam-ra.The note for Cheong-san reads, "Cheong-san, I love you." On-jo still carries his name tag with her. <h2>Nam-ra is living with another group of half-zombie 'hambies' in Hyosan, outside of the quarantine facility</h2><div type="image" title="Cho Yi-hyun as Choi Nam-ra in All of us are Dead" height="1334" width="1778" msid="89593068" hostid="261"></div>Months later, while tending to the memorial for Cheong-san and the other dead students, On-jo sees a campfire that she suspects was lit on the roof of their high school by Nam-ra. She, along with the rest of the surviving group, trek out to the school.There, they find Nam-ra, who tells them that she missed them and that she's found other "hambies" like her — people who aren't quite human, and not quite zombie. She refuses when On-jo invites her to return with them, but tells her that they're still friends even if they're apart. She tells her friends that her group has arrived, and then leaps off the roof of the school to presumably join them."All of Us Are Dead" doesn't fully explain the logic behind "hambies," specifically why some people like Nam-ra retain their sentience while others like Na-yeon don't, despite the fact that both of them were bitten by Gwi-nam, another hambie. The existence of more "hambies" also sets up more story for a possible second season that more fully explores the Jonas virus — notably, why it affects some people differently than others. Lee Byeong-chan's original goal in creating the Jonas virus was to help his son convert fear to rage, and overcome his bullies. It stands to reason that those underlying themes may have something to do with who it affects. <h2>Eun-ji and Jae-jun are both gone from their original cells in the quarantine facility</h2><div type="image" title="Oh Hye-soo as Min Eun-Ji on &quot;All of Us Are Dead.&quot;" height="1334" width="1778" msid="89593069" hostid="261"></div>Eun-ji, the girl who was ruthlessly bullied by Gwi-nam and his crew before the zombie outbreak, was the first "hambie" to be captured by the military. While they briefly experimented on her and kept her in custody in the quarantine base, she's gone by the final episode, her containment room replaced with a table and chairs. Eun-ji, as well as Jae-jun, the turned soldier, are presumably still in military custody, but the show doesn't reveal where they've gone by the end of the first season, or what further research is being conducted regarding the virus. <h2>Officials find Lee Byeong-chan's son and wife, tied up in his home still</h2>While sweeping Hyo-san, men — presumably government officials — find Lee Byeong-chan's family, still held within the home where he filmed his research vlogs. Both are still fully turned, and malnourished.One official tells another to transport the pair carefully, saying that they cannot be lost or damaged. While Hyeon-ju, the student bitten and infected by the mouse in Lee Byeong-chan's lab in the series' first episode, was the one who spread the Jonas virus to the entire city of Hyosan, Lee Byeong-chan's family were the first people to have been infected with the virus. In government custody, it's likely that they'll be used for experimentation, to better understand the virus.The entire first season of "All of Us Are Dead" is available to stream now on Netflix.

The ending of Netflix's "All of Us Are Dead" leaves the door open for a second season of the zombie thriller. Here's a breakdown of exactly what happens.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"<keyword id="10057429" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="among-us">Among Us</keyword>" is a massively popular hidden role game from <a href="http://www.innersloth.com/gameAmongUs.php">InnerSloth</a> that exploded in popularity in 2020 despite its original release date in 2018.</li><li>The game has become a favorite on Twitch, and has developed a devoted fandom on platforms like <keyword id="6762469" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="TikTok">TikTok</keyword> and Twitter as well.</li><li>Many people are making "Among Us" <keyword id="1605152" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Memes">memes</keyword> and fan art that superimpose narratives of friendship and tragedy onto the game.</li></ul>"Among Us," to many, came out of nowhere.The hidden role video game, in which players go about completing tasks while trying to determine who the "imposter" is before they all wind up dead, was originally released in 2018. However, <a href="https://kotaku.com/among-us-improbable-rise-to-the-top-of-twitch-1844986025">as Kotaku reported</a>, the game became a favorite among Twitch streamers in 2020 after a slow buildup of international popularity. That's led to it becoming a social media phenomenon and party game favorite as well. Now, the game has become so popular that its studio InnerSloth <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2020/9/24/21454185/among-us-2-canceled-innersloth-game">canceled an upcoming sequel</a> to focus on improving the original game. In "Among Us," four to 10 players join either locally or online (the game is available on <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/among-us/id1351168404">ioS</a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innersloth.spacemafia&amp;utm_source=global_co&amp;utm_medium=prtnr&amp;utm_content=Mar2515&amp;utm_campaign=PartBadge&amp;pcampaignid=MKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1-PartBadge-Mar2515-1">Android</a>, and <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/945360/Among_Us/">Steam</a>) and are assigned roles. Most will be "crewmates," or normal players who perform tasks on a spaceship. A select few are "imposters," parasitic shapeshifters who can travel through vents, sabotage the ship, and kill off crewmembers. Crewmates must suss out the imposters and eject them from the ship before the imposters manage to kill enough crewmates to win the game."Among Us" doesn't venture too much into the personal, and even death within the game is cartoonish — dead players appear as half bodies with single bones protruding from them, and later circulate the map as ghosts. However, the game opens up the potential for heated debates and fun interactions that have sparked much of the fan content surrounding "Among Us." The playful, accusatory debates that players have with their friends morph into heart-wrenching, tragic stories between crewmates in the hands of fan artists and animators.On TikTok, fan-made animations or stories both poke fun at familiar scenarios that occur while playing — like feverishly denying that you're the imposter, only to get ejected from the ship anyways — and also craft new narratives that add an entirely new element to "Among Us."<h2>Many 'Among Us' memes revolve around humanizing the crewmates </h2><a href="https://www.polygon.com/2020/9/25/21456451/among-us-fan-crew-sonas-impostor-culture-explained">As Polygon's Cass Marshall wrote,</a> many "Among Us" players and fans were creating "crewsonas" — fan art of their in-game characters, but with more of a human touch. That phenomenon plays out on TikTok as well, where one trend set to a slowed down audio of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttQSs35Z7nE">Pogo's "Living Island"</a> sees people drawing their own "Among Us" characters and crafting relationships for them. In particular, people are exploring potential relationships between unsuspecting crew members and imposters, who develop soft spots for certain players while still carrying out their duty to kill the rest of the crew. Others make light familiar interactions in the game, like seeing someone travel through a vent (therefore proving that they're an imposter) but being unable to report it before the imposter turns the tables on them, or running into the imposter while the lights are dimmed. Some videos even give the game an overarching narrative. <h2>In-game 'pets' make for some of the most heartwrenching 'Among Us' content</h2>One particular element that shows up in memes across platforms is tied to one of the game's customization options. Players, <a href="https://www.shacknews.com/article/120544/how-to-get-pets-among-us">for a small fee</a>, can purchase in-game "pets" that follow them around on the map. Some of those "pets" are shaped like tiny spacemen themselves, which makes the death of their "parent" deeply heartwrenching if you think about it for more than a few seconds. To make matters worse, once the "parent" is killed, the "baby" sits idly on the map, alone.Artists and animators — as well as players recording their own games — have latched onto the "Among Us" babies as a means of injecting pathos into the relatively impersonal game. On Twitter, artists are also crafting narratives featuring the "Among Us" babies.Although a solid chunk of "Among Us" memes and fan-made content focuses on narratives that turn the relatively lighthearted game into a tearjerker, plenty are still rooted in <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dummy-thicc">plain ol' meme fun</a>. <ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/kda-league-of-legends-the-baddest-music-video-single-ep-2020-8">K/DA, the fictional 'League of Legends' girl group, just released new single 'The Baddest' and will come back with a full EP later this year</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/kda-league-of-legends-the-baddest-music-video-single-ep-2020-8">K/DA, the fictional 'League of Legends' girl group, is coming out with new music</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/twitch-sexual-assault-misconduct-allegations-video-gaming-community-streamers-harassment-2020-7">200 allegations of sexual misconduct in gaming were revealed in a recent spreadsheet.
