Over the weekend, the Gayflower: It’s Britney Boat Party was taken hostage by the antics of what DJ and producer Ty Sunderland described as a “demon twink.”
“There was a DEMON twink on Britney boat last night,” he wrote on Twitter. “Threw a drink at the dj equipment, wouldn’t get off the stage unless I stopped the music then the party ended and he’s somehow in VIP getting his ass ate like out in the open. We had to literally tell him to stop and go home!!”
\u201cThere was a DEMON twink on Britney boat last night. Threw a drink at the dj equipment, wouldn\u2019t get off the stage unless I stopped the music then the party ended and he\u2019s some how in VIP getting his ass ate like out in the open. We had to literally tell him to stop and go home!!\u201d— Ty Sunderland \ud83c\udfc1 (@Ty Sunderland \ud83c\udfc1) 1627756928
Well, that escalated quickly.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter was delighted, and the memes that followed are why we can't uninstall Twitter no matter how hard we try.
\u201cOnly one person I trust to unmask the Demon Twink.\u201d— jeff heimbrock (@jeff heimbrock) 1627763189

But then, Troye Sivan entered the chat and took things to a whole new level when he joked that he was the demon twink everyone was talking about. The “Bloom” singer tweeted, “literally so what if I got my ass ate on a boat in New York, sue me”, kicking off a whole new round of memes.

Sunderland chimed in, letting the world know who he’d like to see portray him in the inevitable A24 epic.
\u201cA24 has purchased the rights to Demon Twink. Laura Dern is set to play me!\u201d— Ty Sunderland \ud83c\udfc1 (@Ty Sunderland \ud83c\udfc1) 1627838295
While Sunderland was understandably upset about the Demon Twink’s antics — specifically the drink throwing and equipment damage — over the weekend, he’s ready to move on now.
\u201cOkay it\u2019s now monday. No more demon twink discourse. let him have his anonymity. I don\u2019t wanna know. I just hope he never throws drinks at dj equipment again \ud83d\udc95\u201d— Ty Sunderland \ud83c\udfc1 (@Ty Sunderland \ud83c\udfc1) 1627895433
That said, if Twitter wants to keep the jokes coming, that’s OK, too.
