About
Swords United is an object labeling series that recontextualizes the load screen from the video game Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North to express agreement.
Origin
On March 1st, 2012, the mobile video game Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North was released. The game, as early as June 17th, 2014, included an image of a king and two nights placing their swords together on a round table as a load screen image (shown below, left).[1][2][3]
The earliest known usage of the image as meme was published on October 25th, 2018 by Instagram [4] user @grapejuiceboys. The post, which shows the court uniting over "making fun of people that watch anime," received more than 25,000 likes in three days (shown below, right).
Spread
Three days later, on October 28th, Redditor [5] ItsNoahh posted a version on the /r/MemeEconomy subreddit/. The post received more than 35,000 points (79% upvoted) and 1,700 comments in 24 hours (shown below, left).
Over the several hours, variation of the meme was shared on various subreddits (shown below, center and right).
