Wizardposting

Wizardposting refers to a genre of memes that add text and captions to wizard fantasy art, predominantly from American illustrator and artist David B Mattingly. The memes stem from precursor trends like Pondering My Orb that likened wizardry and wizard visuals to being cool, badass and Pics That Go Hard . Starting in mid-2022, many wizard photo slideshows were posted to TikTok that related the fantasy wizards to "smoking za " or being (for the slideshow's creator), "the typa shi I been on." Going into early 2023, Wizardposting became commonplace across platforms like Instagram and iFunny that predominantly used Whisper text and captions. The cool perception of wizards online was also fostered by the Shadow Wizard Money Gang TikTok sound.
