“Heart Locket”

The Heart Locket design is a heart-shaped locket, which opens to reveal whatever you choose to put in it - perhaps two photos of you and your beloved, or a photo and a message. Great for Valentine's day and anniversaries. When you're done, download your animation as a GIF or MP4. You can also work at high resolution (slower but bigger).

One side takes a photo, the other takes words (or a second photo). If you're stuck:

Sincere:

• Their photo, and the date you first met.
• "open when you miss me"
• "you are my favorite person"
• "ask me why I love you"
• A baby photo on one side, the same person now on the other.

The meme:

• "[their name] my beloved" - the standard form. People, pets, fictional characters, sandwiches: all valid.
• Your cat on one side, "my beloved" on the other. This is the whole meme.
• "my beloved" also works for: your bed, the group chat, a specific vending machine.

Two photos:

• You on one side, them on the other. The locket does the rest.
• Your pet, and their pet.
• Two people who have never met but definitely should.

(A hairless cat named Bingus started all this. The case file below has the details.)

This is the locket from the "[something] my beloved" memes. How a 2008 animation ended up holding a hairless cat and playing in Times Square is documented, with exhibits, in the case file on "my beloved".

Pairing yourself with a fictional character is called yumeshipping, or self-shipping. Here's the case file on yumeshipping.

Once someone had a problem and asked @mkswt about it on twitter and it totally got fixed and everyone lived happily ever after. Other people didn't have any problems but followed @mkswt on twitter anyway and found out about new templates before anyone else, giving them a competitive advantage in the chaotic meme wars that engulfed the globe in the early 21st century. The declaration and rapid growth of the Republic of Make Sweetistan was, in retrospect, a logical consequence of this early lead in the ensuing arms race and
