Reblog to see what X has to say on Your Dashboard

Reblog to see what X has to say on Your Dashboard is a small meme that revolves around putting half speech bubbles atop popular characters that seem to be talking so it seems as if the character in question has been talking about whatever the post above them is. Occasionally, characters that seem to be shouting are used as reaction images to spiteful walls of text to indicate to that user that they have been throwing an incoherent tantrum.
