What it means

A two-panel transformation meme shows a crudely drawn crying character labeled “2014” above a dramatic anime-style warrior with red eyes labeled “2022.” The joke is about enduring failure, gradually improving through small buffs, and becoming powerful like an Elden Ring Tarnished; it is used as a motivational reaction to personal growth or a glow-up.
