I'm gonna post some memes for a fandom that doesn't exist is a Tumblr post by Tumblr user charlesoberonn. It consisted of several common meme formats with the text edited to reflect the details of a non-existent fandom. Other users chimed in with additions and comments based on the initial text provided. It quickly became viral, and the post has 41,683 notes as of December 2nd, 2022.

Charlesoberonn refers to asks and reblogs regarding this post under the tag "Nonexistent Fandom." On August 2nd, 2020, he selected the name "Empire's Tribute" for the fandom using the Random Fantasy Title Generator.[1] A wiki[2] and a discord have since been started. Information added to the wiki is voted on by the Discord server to keep a consistent canon.

It also inspired the Sacred Texts post about a non-existent book saga.

I don’t plan to be the arbiter forever though. I’m gonna let whichever ideas succeed do so on their own merit rather than whether or not I like them.

Plot and Organization

The first arc of Empire's Tribute is titled "First Empire."[3] There are at least three Eras,[4] which are about fifteen to twenty epochs long.[5]

Era 1 includes the First Empire, the Spider-Jellyfish Wars, Cosdoren and Eylore, Grendo the First, the Nine Sages, and the Ocean Crisis. Era 2 includes the Age of Fairies and the Flower Republic. Era 3 includes the Seventeen Kingdoms, the Fire Crisis, the Sky Crisis, the Xenurian Order, the Second Fire Crisis, Kayuna, Beligrad, Tatyus, the Water Crisis, the Ice Crisis, the Spider-God War, the Eighteenth Kingdom, the Apocalypse Arc, the Final Empire, and the Metal Wars.[6]

There is both a show and a book series.[7] There are at least five seasons.[8][9]

Tatyus's origin story takes up three books, Kayuna's one book, and Beligrad's one page. Grendo does not have an origin story.[9]

Era 3's elemental magic system, reincarnation, and hybrid animals are inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender[10].

  • The Xenurian Order, which includes Beligrad and Grendo.[7] They have magical swords, colorful armor, and a big buff lady.[12] It may have been founded by Juliae.[14]
