Houseki no Kuni, also known as Land of the Lustrous, has inspired a unique niche of memes centered around its themes of identity, immortality, and inevitable suffering. Most memes feature the protagonist, Phosphophyllite (Phos), documenting their drastic physical and mental transformations throughout the series. Fans often use the stunning, yet tragic, visuals to represent existential dread or the feeling of 'falling apart'—literally and figuratively. From 'Phos suffering' jokes to the contrasting elegance of the Lunarians, these memes resonate with the anime community for their ability to blend high-art aesthetics with relatable emotional turmoil.
