Meme lore

What is the Alignment Chart meme?

The D&D alignment chart meme maps anything onto Lawful / Neutral / Chaotic across the top and Good / Neutral / Evil down the side. Classic use is nine examples in the grid; the six axis labels stay editable so you can keep the original morality axes or rename them for a custom two-spectrum joke.

Origin & history

The nine-alignment grid entered Dungeons & Dragons in the 1977 Advanced D&D handbook (lawful/neutral/chaotic × good/neutral/evil). Fanlore dates character-sorting charts on DeviantArt to about 2008. The Atlantic traces a reusable blank-template culture to a 2012 Polyvore chart that then spread on Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter, with a 2017–2020 boom of food, fandom, and coworker grids.

Blank 3×3 grid with unlabeled left and top margins. Alignment itself is from Dungeons & Dragons (1977 two-axis system). Internet reuse of the empty chart as a sorting meme is documented from ~2008 fan charts and a 2012 Polyvore template; this particular PNG is a clean unlabeled grid, not a screenshot of a published chart.

Caption this Alignment Chart meme with your own text in the editor above, then download the finished PNG free — for Reddit, X, Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord or the group chat.

Step by step

How to make a Alignment Chart meme

  1. 1

    Open the Alignment Chart template

    The blank Alignment Chart meme is already loaded in the editor at the top of this page. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

  2. 2

    Write your captions

    Type into the column 1, column 2, column 3, row 1, row 2, row 3, lawful good, neutral good, chaotic good, lawful neutral, true neutral, chaotic neutral, lawful evil, neutral evil and chaotic evil fields in the panel beside the image, or tap one of the example captions to start from a working joke.

  3. 3

    Place the text

    Drag a caption box on the image to move it, or drag a corner to resize it. The text rewraps and shrinks to fit as you go.

  4. 4

    Download your meme

    Press Download PNG for the finished 1200×1080 image, or Copy to paste it straight into a chat. Turn the watermark off first if you would rather not have one.

How the joke works

Captions are the six axis labels in order: three columns (Lawful / Neutral / Chaotic) then three rows (Good / Neutral / Evil). Rename axes for a custom spectrum; keep labels short. The nine cells are image/text slots in the editor, not part of the caption array.

Caption tips

  • Captions array is the six axis labels in order: col1, col2, col3, row1, row2, row3.
  • Defaults are Lawful / Neutral / Chaotic and Good / Neutral / Evil.
  • Do not shout Impact-style captions. Short title-case labels.
  • Do not put cell contents in the caption array; the nine inner squares are paste/drop image slots (or extra captions in the editor).
  • Impact uppercase paragraphs
  • Leaving axes blank
  • More than a few words per label
  • Writing nine cell names into the six-label caption array
