The Onion - Tumblr Posts
I've been recommended accounts before like @firefox-official that I followed like ‘ooh, look who's on Tumblr!’ Before discovering that it's just a tradition to name things 'x-official' as a shitpost account.

So imagine my surprise when I click on @theonion fully expecting it to just be some random person on the internet and getting what looks like an official account! And honestly, I know very little about the Onion but that seems pretty on-theme with parody to make an official Tumblr account to do a double subversion of "is it real? or not?".
This probably sounds a lil silly, but as someone still not entirely comfortable with using Tumblr it was funny to be given an official account just after I had accepted that they were all fake lol.

Thought of a crackship
Jim haggerty x Roman Murray
(I mean Roman runs a cult that has pig motifs and Jim uh became one?)(idk how many people know about Porkin across America but uh it’s by the onion)
X-Men as The Onion headlines:
Watch: George Takei has a vital message for those misusing and misremembering Japanese internment.
I just guffawed very loudly, at work. In the library.
The Onion’s journalism is the only journalism that matters. Holy fuck.
