"trull." — a face that has been in the JPEG compressor 42 times and still has opinions
A 2008 troll face was kidnapped, run through fourteen group-chat reposts, screen-shotted off a Vine archive, traced over by hand at 2 a.m., and printed onto a coffee-stained napkin. The face that came back is no longer a troll. It is a trull. It does not laugh at you. It is too tired.
$TRULL is the patron saint of "yeah, whatever." A coin for memes that have lost their original creator, their original caption, their original context, and most of their pixels — but somehow are still here.
