A Clever Idea Sparks a Hilarious Hashtag
Parents know all too well that children’s literature can sometimes have a darker side. One man’s quirky tweet brought this concept to life, and the results are nothing short of delightful.
Meet Alex Strider, the mastermind behind the viral tweet that ignited a wave of creativity on Twitter. Although we’re not sure what inspired his original thought, the internet took it and transformed it into pure comedic gold.
It’s a simple yet ingenious premise. Much like many internet trends, it quickly evolved—into something both funny and a bit twisted.
Twitter users jumped on Alex’s idea, showcasing how the ominous phrase paired perfectly with beloved children’s tales. Who knew that caterpillars could be predators?
And let’s be honest: if anyone had it coming, it’d be those dreadful cousins from Harry Potter.
But wait—did you think Eeyore was the one to keep an eye on? Don’t kid yourself; we all know he has a dark side too.
Then there’s Harold, who seems innocent enough, but let’s be real. It’s a fine line from doodling to dastardly deeds.
Alex Strider is not just an internet sensation; he’s also a published author. While I wouldn’t suggest his own book would be improved with “And then the murders started,” it’s hard to deny that such a twist could work wonders.
The Rise of #StridersTwist
The playful “game,” dubbed “#StridersTwist,” quickly gained traction, proving not only to be entertaining but also practical. Children’s books, after all, are the most effective canvases for this kind of humor.
Suddenly, bedtime stories just got a lot shorter—perfect for those nights when your little one insists on just one more chapter. “And then the murders started” might just be the magic phrase you need to wrap it up quickly.
While Alex deserves kudos for kicking off this trend, let’s also applaud the clever folks who highlighted the best examples. Check out this gem for a true masterpiece:
