You make a post asking others to tag their favorite mutuals.
You tag your favorite mutual and post.
Your favorite mutual reblogs your post and tags you.
You two are now obligated to tag each other and reblog the post forever.
The longer it goes on, the faster you two get.
Eventually, the bulk of new posts is just you two reblogging the same post.

Tumblr becomes known as that site that’s exclusively about two people calling each other their favorite mutuals.
ISPs are forced to improve their infrastructure to accommodate how quickly you two keep reblogging each other.
News spreads to other sites.
The internet eventually becomes just you two reblogging each other.
All news becomes updates about how many times you two reblog each other.
One day, you reblog your mutual’s post and they do not reblog back.
Everyone on Tumblr panics and tries to find out what happened to your mutual.
Other social media sites learn about the drama.
News sites give Breaking News reports that your mutual didn’t respond back.
Every website starts gathering information about what happened to your mutual.
Political parties come together to find out what happened to your mutual.
World leaders come together to find out what happened to your mutual.
Billionaires pour all their money into finding out what happened to your mutual.
Eventually, your mutual is found and the world waits with baited breathe fearing the worst.
Your mutual was hungry and stepped away to make a sandwich.
After finishing their sandwich, they reblog your post.
All is right with the world.
A voice calls out from the darkness, of the one The Bit targeted first. Magic flows through their body. Star hovers over them, the first one to stab them, and now the one that learned how to work magic in order to bring them back.
The Bit is revived. And will be alive until they start to hurt us again.
Long live The Bit.
