When it had gotten to the point that Giuseppe was a legend within our squad, we decided that we should broadcast his wonders to the Internet, as the Internet has a sort of penchant for strange things, and Giuseppe was nothing short of strange.

Herman, Hamilton, and I were the ones who were most avid about social media and memes, but Hamilton wanted very little to do with Giuseppe (she thought he was interesting but a nuisance), so Herman and I continued on our own. Herman set up a Twitter account called RadGuiseppe (yes, she misspelled Giuseppe), and I set up an Instagram with the same name, except spelled correctly. I don't have a Twitter, so I couldn't supervise it, but I ran the Instagram account, which gained about twenty-five followers.

At that time, I was about two months into my Instagram career, cultivating around five thousand followers out of my eventual eight thousand until I deactivated it in August of that year, so it was simple enough to post a screenshot of Giuseppe's Instagram profile, and ask people to follow him for some wholesome fun, and to become one of Giuseppe's faithful servants or sacrifices.

Lots of the responses were welcoming of Giuseppe. Many threw themselves at his feet, willingly transforming themselves into either a servant or a sacrifice, whichever they chose. Only a few thought he was creepy (or at least publicly voiced it), but those were probably the ones who didn't understand how wild the Internet is. The Internet veterans were very eager to submit themselves to this otherworldly doll, though.

Despite only having twenty-five followers, Giuseppe was a legend among the people he ruled.
