What is the Two Paths meme?
Two Paths is a brightly coloured cartoon of a boy in a blue shirt seen from behind, standing where a dirt road forks around a little wooden signpost. The left path climbs toward a white fairy-tale castle under a blazing sun and blue sky; the right path winds up to a gloomy haunted castle under storm clouds and purple lightning. The image is the classic good choice versus bad choice, and the joke is usually that the boy (you) is obviously about to walk toward the dark castle anyway.
Origin: The artwork is from the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card "Dramatic Crossroads." Its clean, readable composition made it a popular object-labeling template for choices.
Also known as: Dramatic Crossroads, Two Roads, Fork in the Road, Which Way.
How to use the Two Paths meme
There are three boxes. The one near the bottom labels the boy (usually "me" or a group). The upper-left box sits over the sunny castle for the sensible option, and the upper-right box sits over the stormy castle for the tempting, chaotic one.
The humor relies on everyone knowing which path the boy will take, so make the bad option sound irresistible: one more episode, a midnight snack, an impulse purchase. Short labels read best on the small sky areas.
