i’ve been using this website since i was like 13 and i keep getting war flashbacks to old school tumblr like
rise of the brave tangled dragons
“the supernatural fandom has a gif for everything”
fluffy chicken
british youtubers
“ask made rebloggable by request”
missing e.
when people would make individual posts greeting every new follower they got
drapple (truly one of the lowest moments of the harry potter fandom)
those powerpoints that were like “my mum reacts to these generic white guys”
flower crowns
justgirlythings
GLEE
before tumblr took away the ability to edit posts so there were all those “bold what you prefer” surveys
everyone getting betrayed by cole sprouse
the divide between fandom blogs and hipster blogs
those barbie videos
when yahoo bought tumblr and everyone freaked out like the world was ending but literally nothing happened
“i stole them from the president”
the way gifs were like always orange??
mishapocalypse
LOKI’D
transparent pictures
bronies
that one peter pan face character at disneyland
the fault in our stars and the perks of being a wallflower quotes everywhere
“Ugh love me down”
Posts detailing an event that were comprised almost exclusively of gifs
Jessie slaughter
“What is air”
Comment chains that repeated the same phrase in bold, italics or both
Tumblarity
David karp being called ‘daddy’
Mystery audio posts paired with a weird gif and captioned ‘just play it’
Before text format restrictions were added, half the people on the site went into html mode and typed these long angry rants at like 1000pt
