sometimes i see a post from like 2012 tumblr on my dash, stripped of all the wild reblogs and im sad

its like seeing a Greek statue that had all its paint stripped off to make it look dignified and appeal to the sensibilities of people it wasn’t made for, instead of the technicolor nightmare that made it loved initially. like that, we have lost the sense of wild eyed derangement that made tumblr so fun. Occasionally it comes back in a haze of terrible tv shows and memes, though not for long.

But i remember, Color of the Sky post. I remember Constablefrozen. I remember when users actually made money off their blogs and the massive fallout of the big ones getting banned leading people to realize someone on staff thought this trash was worth money for a reason. I remember tumblr prom. The Lizard election. The one time Staff gave us all a lil horse friend for april fools and it was the 1 good thing they’d ever given us.

I remember when we called it nightblogging, and blamed australians!

This isn’t me saying tumblr’s bad now, i’m just saying we’ve mellowed after the victory of costing a company millions of dollars.

Looking for fanfic readers who identify as asexual or aromantic

💜♠️💚

Hello! I’m a university student, and for my senior project this quarter I am studying fanfiction and asexuality/aromanticism.

I’m looking for anyone who identifies anywhere on the asexual or aromantic spectrum, reads fanfiction, and would be willing to talk about their experiences with me.

If you would be interested, please let me know! Even if you don’t think you have much to say, I would love to hear from you! And feel free to send me a message with any questions you might have about this project. It’ll just be a casual conversation, with some guiding questions, and you can decide to opt out at any time and I won’t use your answers.

Thank you so much for reading!! The more people I can talk to, the better. If you’re interested, send me a message; if not, a reblog would be much appreciated. Thanks! 😊

FUCKING WHAT?
