About
Swords United is an object labeling series that recontextualizes the load screen from the video game Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North to express agreement.
Origin
On March 1st, 2012, the mobile video game Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North was released. The game, as early as June 17th, 2014, included an image of a king and two nights placing their swords together on a round table as a load screen image (shown below, left).[1][2][3]
The earliest known usage of the image as meme was published on October 25th, 2018 by Instagram [4] user @grapejuiceboys. The post, which shows the court uniting over "making fun of people that watch anime," received more than 25,000 likes in three days (shown below, right).
