There are certain moments in time that make us realize how much we love the Internet, like when people are united by a single cause, bringing joy to all those who witness the magic. I am, of course, talking about when a simple image becomes so much more. Notable examples are Shitty Charmander, in the way guy, and, more recently, Kocoum.
As of yesterday we have a new entry in the Imgur history books. It began with a simple request from Imgurian Atova to spruce up an image of herself and a girlfriend and “photoshop the background so that we are looking at something such as the beach instead of yellow grass.”
Hello! This is a picture of a girlfriend and myself. I was wondering if anyone could photoshop the background so that we are looking at something such as the beach instead of yellow grass. I don't have any sad stories to accompany the picture. I was just hoping there is someone out there with some free time willing to help out just for fun :)Edit: Holy crap guys, you've outdone yourselves. I've had my account for a little over a year but I've been lurking for much longer than that O_o So yes, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I knew this would be entertaining but I also knew that maybe 2% of you would be serious about it. Also, yes, it's my first upload but that's only because I believe in OC and I've never had any of my own before.Thanks to everyone for making my year because every edit was beautiful. You guys rock.Edit edit: I'm gonna take the advice of some on the compilation posts and print out every single one and place them all into a photo album. I seriously loved every edit and can't imagine not saving all of them. Thanks again imgur for putting this smile on my face that I haven't been able to control since the first comment was submitted Image may be NSFW.

All Atova was hoping for was “someone out there with some free time willing to help out just for fun :)”
And boy did they have fun. All our favorite characters were there.

Some did try to actually fulfill her request and make a nice one.

As MyMiddleNameIsAllen accurately said, many attempts managed to be “Refined, sophisticated, yet whimsical and incites awe,” such as this one.
