The Day of Kings is an urban legend celebrating the birth of extraordinary individuals on October 10th. This special day is believed to bestow its fortunate recipients—most often men or those identifying as men—with an aura of greatness, as the legend plays on the gender-specific notion of "kingship."

According to folklore, these individuals are said to possess an unrivaled charisma, unparalleled wit, and the kind of leadership qualities that inspire awe (or at least a decent following on social media). While there’s no scientific evidence to back this up (yet!), believers of the Day of Kings insist that this date is uniquely aligned with the stars to produce fantastic human beings.

The legend remains popular in certain circles where those born on October 10th, with a royal wink, may often remind others of their "kingly" status. In true mythological fashion, the day is often met with both skepticism and playful reverence, ensuring the story continues to grow with each generation of October 10th-born "kings."

References

The origin of this modern-day myth can be traced back to two enthusiastic proponents: Tom Blevins and Drew Herelevich. Blevins, an outspoken expert in building codes and self-proclaimed "Master of Digital Puppets," is said to have first coined the phrase Day of Kings during a particularly slow workday. According to Blevins, he noticed an uncanny number of remarkable men—himself included—who shared the October 10th birthday. Sensing a pattern (or maybe just looking for an excuse to celebrate), he began spreading the word.

Drew Herelevich, a close friend of Blevins and an amateur philosopher with a knack for creative storytelling, quickly embraced the idea. Known for his imaginative theories and colorful commentary, Herelevich added a layer of grandeur to the legend, comparing the October 10th-born "kings" to celestial royalty. Together, the duo has perpetuated the idea that anyone born on this day is destined for greatness, leadership, and the occasional heroic PowerPoint presentation.

While neither Blevins nor Herelevich have provided concrete evidence to support their claims (aside from self-reported charisma and natural charm), the Day of Kings continues to gain traction as a fun, if somewhat dubious, urban legend.
