Furry Opera Turns Dramatic

Text on the meme

The hissing of the snakes of Alecto, and the howling of the voracious Scylla, I seem to hear all around me. Evil venom is creeping into my breast and still the languid sparkling of fear will not bother me.

What it means

Fursuit performers play classical instruments on a brightly lit stage before shifting into an exaggerated dramatic opera scene, with a wolf-like character supporting a tan feline character. The captions quote grandiose mythological opera lyrics about Alecto, Scylla, venom, and fear, making the contrast with cheerful furry costumes and the overly serious performance absurd. It works as a reaction to situations that feel comically melodramatic or needlessly theatrical.
