Reception

does tumblr user raptorific know what they’ve done to this fandom? do they realize what they did when they made the original “do the butt match?” post? how do you go on living knowing something you said was THAT adopted into fanon? I don’t think I’ve ever written a Batfam fic that didn’t mention the butts matching. half my shitposts include a reference to that post. It is integral to me personally. and everyone knows what I’m talking about when I add it! We all know! How do you go on living like that knowing you have created fandom legend without being fandom legend yourself? well, heck, I don’t even know if they’re still activated. I don’t even follow them. but they’re a legend to me. I can’t conceptualize making a post that reaches that far and holds its place. We just ACCEPTED it! Nothing I EVER do will have that kind of impact!

It has evolved into a trope or reference that fans playfully use to mock elaborate theories about a characters secret identity - with bonus points when the ridiculous theory is actually true. The phrase has found its way into fan art, memes, and discussions across various fandoms.
