Bring back the crabs!

OFFICIAL TUMBLR PRESS RELEASE

For Hellsite Eyes only…,

Hello again, Tumblr. Now that our dashboards are back to normal (‘normal’ doing some heavy lifting here), the crabs are back in tropical paradise (for now), and Mr. Brick Whartley is back with them, we felt it was time for reflection.

In his opening statement on April 1, Mr. Whartley, our now-former Head of Viral Marketing and Exponential Growth and Front End Software Developer, outlined his ambition to “...increase clicks across the platform by any means necessary”. Quite the lofty ambition. And this got us thinking—how did we do? And by we, of course, we mean you. Well, you didn’t disappoint, and if you like unnecessarily large numbers, you’re in for a real treat.

By 12:49 pm (PDT)/3:49 pm (EDT), the community had summoned 7.5 million crabs at a rate of 1.07 million crabs per hour. 

By the end of the day, there were 20,000 posts by 14,000 of you with the tag “time for crab.” Time indeed.

The community’s April Fools prank was a resounding success, with more than 52,000 posts from Tumblr users attempting to “crash” this Hellsite by scheduling posts all at the same time. 

Mr. Brick Wharley’s blog accumulated more than 3,000 followers and 12,000 notes, while @staff received nearly 50,000 notes across the day.

Perhaps Mr. Whartley didn’t do such a lousy job. Finally, the most important statistic of the day, the community summoned 25 million crabs across Tumblr on April 1, 2022.

Credit where credit’s due, folks. You did us proud, you did Mr. Whartley proud, and most importantly, you did yourselves proud. So give those index fingers a little rest—they deserve it. And you will need all your strength for April 1, 2023.

I can't wait till it comes out!

I was looking forward to what they would do.... :(

in loving memory of tumblr's april fools' pranks 💐 2014 - 2024

icymi, tumblr used to do an elaborate april fool's prank every year, but this year they suddenly stopped. here's a somewhat detailed recap of everything they did over the decade:

2013 - mishapocalypse (honourable mention): tumblr staff didn’t start doing april fools until 2014, but the mishapocalypse happened on tumblr in 2013 and i feel like this list would be incomplete without it

2014 - tumblrpro: upon opening your dash you were greeted by an “inspirational” video, that ended with the option to get “tumblrpro (for free)”. all it did was put a top hat on your icon.

2015 - tumblr executivesuite/coppy: a copying machine appeared in the corner of your dash. it would offer tips on how to use tumblr, like clippy the paperclip used to do in microsoft word. as the day went on, it slowly broke down and died right in front of your eyes. many people hated him (but not me). you could also make a (small) spreadsheet. @executivesuite2016 is the official blog.

2016 - this is decision/lizard election/tumblrdecides: a parody of the 2016 US elections. there were 4 lizards (well, one of them turned out to be a salamander in a scandal) to vote for. the dash looked different and there was a live news report with election updates, as well as an election blog for each lizard. they all had their own slogans and you would get an "i voted" button after you voted that would get slapped next to your icon. there were built-in functions to make an election poster for your favourite lizard and to create a text post that supported your lizard of choice that autogenerated a statement for all your followers to read. imo tumblr’s april fools peak. @thisisdecision2016-blog is the official blog, @mop-2016-blog @wretchedtooth @timefordeborah-blog were candidates. rick also had a blog (rick-official) but that now seems to have vanished because he ended up dropping out of the election. mop won, if you're curious. by far the most elaborate prank tumblr ever did.

2017 - horse friend: a tamagotchi-inspired game where you had to take care of a little horse in the corner of your screen. it came with a randomly generated name, and you had to feed and clean up after it. if you didnt take good care of it, it died. you could then hatch (yes, hatch) a new one. there was also an option to look at the names of all your dead horses. this is now available to buy in the tumblr shop. @horse-friends is the official blog.

2018 - tumblcoin: a parody of cryptocurrency (this was the year bitcoin took off). you could ‘invest’ in tumblcoin, with which you could in turn buy things with to spice up your dash, including last year’s horse friend, coppy from 2015, and a frame for around your icon. you could share the amount of tumblcoin you owned in an automatically generated gif post which would be tagged #tbc2018 and #tumblcoin. @tumblcoin is the official blog.

2019 - @memories: this blog still functions the way it did on april fools itself! it's like mad libs, where it takes post templates and then adds in tags you use a lot and users you frequently interact with on your main blog. like a personalized shitpost bot.

2020 - group chat prank/@storybot: it was so hard to find info on this because it was contained entirely in the now-defunct group chat function, which no one used. i had to go through the notes of this post for information because no one cared enough to actually write anything explaining it. turns out, you could write a story with your mutuals by adding storybot to your group chat. it also kept working after april fools (well, up until the group chats were deleted) just like memories. many people missed out on it entirely because they did not use the group chat function.

2021 - tumblcryptids: tumblr allowed you to adopt “non-fungible tumblcryptids”, a parody of NFTs. clicking a button that said "Summon thy Tumblrcryptid" would spawn an image of a little blob-shaped creature with a short description, which would always read "Hi! My name is [randomly generated name]. I love [thing most people like]. I hate [thing most people dislike]. Like my parent, I can't get enough of #[tag from your main blog]." you could share them in a post, which would automatically add the tag #NFTumblcryptids to your post. and yes, people on the piss on the poor website freaked out about it because they thought they were real NFTs harming the environment. @tumblcryptidadoptioncenter is the official blog.

2022 - click-a-thon: when you clicked a light switch on your dashboard, a bunch of colourful things showed up, like a sponge you could move around, an "engagament meter", clickable buttons, and a “Summon Crab!” button, which would summon a crab when you clicked it. you could. the crabs, like horse friend, are still available in the tumblr store as of 2025. here's some screenshots. there were various ways to share your crab activities, which would all get tagged #april fools 2022. the prank was presented as a marketing technique created by Brick Whartley, a fictional businessman character created by tumblr, who (afaik) originated in a post on the official blog of the 2018 april fools prank, albeit originally in a different role. around this time he also started functioning as the mascot for tumblr's shop ( @emporium )

2023 - abstract reactions (emoji reacts): buttons were added to every post that allowed you to add emoji reactions, many of them based on tumblr inside jokes (horse as a reference to horse plinko/horse friend, vanilla for the vanilla extract meme, pikaman, bug for bug race, and brick whartley, who wasn't a meme but staff really wanted him to be). if one specific emoji was used a certain amount of times it would add an effect to the post, eg many cheese emoji reacts would cover the post in cheese. this was also attributed to Brick Whartley ("his" blog @brickwhartley also documented the day)

2024 - boop-o-meter: allowed you to “boop” other users who had opted in to the booping, like facebook’s poke feature back in the day. depending on how long you held the button, you would either boop, super boop, or evil boop. on the dashboard there was a counter for both how many times you had booped others and how many times others had booped you, as well as how many boops were given side-wide. when booping someone, an image of a cat paw appeared. you would get badges (which can still be used) for booping 1, 100 and 1000 times. if you got more than 999 boops, the counter would simply say “WOW”. this was brought back for halloween 2024 (as BOOp-o-meter. get it), with a ghost, skeleton and mummy paw. no official blog, but here's an official recap for april first from staff. i believe this was the only april fools prank that was mobile user friendly.

2025 - @fandom is running some polls, i guess

This is really helpful! 😊

Mammon's Human

Genre: Comfort, Fluff

Pairing: Mammon/MC

Summary: You were bullied at RAD, and Mammon’s here to the rescue.

TW: Mentions of blood, death and bullying

This story happened during the first few months of the exchange program.

It happened in the blink of an eye. You couldn’t grasp the whole situation and all you could see was the white flash crossing before you. 

The bullies were now lying on the floor, grabbing their stomachs and growling in pain. Before you, stood Mammon, in his demon form, panting and giving off an ominous aura as blood trickled down his hands. The feeling of watching his black wings from behind caused your brain to freeze. You still couldn’t understand what had happened.

It was only a few minutes ago when you were walking down the hallway to the entrance hall to meet Mammon. Suddenly, you tumbled forward and fell to your knees when a sudden force pushed you from behind. You looked back to see a group of lower-class demons, snickering at you.

“Look, it’s the weak human who dared to walk alone. It seems like they’re not intimidated by us,” one of them spoke.

You rolled your eyes in annoyance, got up to your feet, and dusted off the dirt on your clothes. You had no time to deal with their childish behaviour so you decided to leave. 

“Oi! Who said you could leave?” the bigger one of the threes leaned forward to you and gripped your shoulder with force. Being a mere human compared to the powerful demon, the grip made you frown in discomfort and pain. 

“Don’t touch me!” You slapped his hand away and gave them the fiercest glare you could ever give. 

“Did you see that? A human dare to threaten me!" 

Oh, what a mistake. The grin on his face became wider and maniacal as his stature increased. The pitch-black form loomed over you and you could feel the hair on the back of your neck stood up.

"MC!” a voice called out behind you.

In the next second, your vision cleared and Mammon’s back greeted you. The sudden adrenaline rush caused your knees to grow weak and you fell flat on your butt. 

You could have died right there and then.

------

Back at the House of Lamentation

Suddenly, triple knocks were heard on his door. Without even waiting for his approval, the perpetrator peeked inside his room and gave him a smile.

Mammon was sitting silently on the couch in his room. He couldn’t imagine what would happen if he was a second late. He gripped his fist tightly until it turned white. He couldn’t stop the trembling in his hands and decided to take deep breaths to calm down. 

You damn human!

“What do ya want?” Mammon tried to play it cool.

“I want to thank you for saving me just now so, I brought you your favourite ramen. Here,” you set down the hot cup instant ramen Hell-sauce flavour in front of him.

“Woah! That’s my human!” he instantly beamed and grabbed the ramen.

“Be careful. It’s hot.”

You sat down beside him and gave him a small smile. The wound on his fist was already healing and it made you feel relieved somehow. Considering you were only able to escape death because of Mammon’s help, seeing him injured won’t leave a good taste in your mouth.

“Thank you.”

“Huh?” Mammon’s eating session was interrupted.

You carefully scooted closer to him and wrapped your hands around his torso.

“Wh-wha-what are you doin’? Why are you touchin’ the Great Mammon?!" 

Ignoring his excuse, you softly rubbed his silver hair to give him comfort.

Mammon’s blushes intensified. "Knock it off, will ya! Don’t start treatin’ me like a child.”

“I’m so grateful that I have you Mammon." 

Hearing your words made his heart stop. You truly appreciate him? Really? All this while, he only ever heard words of insults thrown at him by his brothers, and finally having someone who appreciated him made him want to tear up. 

"You can leave it up to THE Mammon next time as well,” he tried to hide his embarrassment by sprouting the holy lines of how amazing he is and how you couldn’t live without him. His human is his and only his. He won’t let anyone touch a hand to his precious human ever again.
