About

My Fall Plans / Delta Variant refers to a meme template that grew popular on Twitter in August of 2020. The format consists of two pictures, the first labeled "My Fall Plans," and the second labeled "Delta Variant" which is a variant of the COVID-19 virus that is more transmissible than the original strain of the virus, causing renewed concern about the spread of COVID-19 after optimism that the pandemic may be waning after the arrival of vaccines. The format humorously expresses disappointment that the Delta Variant has potentially "ruined" peoples' plans for Autumn 2021, often using pop culture references.

Origin

On August 8th, 2021, Twitter user @jush_for_fun[1] posted the first known iteration of the meme, using characters Shea and Sasha from Ru Paul's Drag Race, gaining over 1,600 retweets and 10,000 likes (shown below). The meme references Sasha's dramatic comeback victory in the final challenge of the season.

Spread

The format saw increased usage over the following several days as people generally used famous characters from film and television to represent "fall plans" and the thing that kills or harms that character as "delta variant." On August 9th, 2021, user @THATJacqueline[2] posted the Heathers from Heathers next to Winona Ryder and Christian Slater from the film, gaining over 280 retweets and 1,300 likes (shown below, left). On August 10th, user @talaskegrams[3] posted the little girl from Hereditary and a telephone pole, gaining over 2,700 retweets and 17,000 likes (shown below, right). The jokes were covered by Mashable.[4]

Yes, get your papers to be allowed outside your home, then pray your local government or health authority doesnt change its mind and lock you down anyway in a doomed attempt to eradicate a virus that has become as widespread and mutation prone as the seasonal flu.

Get the vaccine you fucking idiots, and then shove your card in the face of anyone who tells you you can't do or go somewhere. If that's not enough for them, never come back even after COVID is eradicated. Any business state or country restricting the actions of vaccinated people doesn't deserve to exist.
