Now the only people left on it are those of us who have refused to leave, even after the various exodus to twitter and tiktok.

    The classic rock fandom was/is the epitome of baby-ing old men. Most of the subjects of our desires weren't even dilfs, they were Gilfs, some long gone. But tumblr was the only way we could live our 70s groupie fantasies and has given us very iff-y and f-ed up views and thought about relationships with big age gaps (podcast worthy topic in of itself)

      I think there was/is immense value in people who are not straight white men having a community to discuss this era of music, because often their opinions are not valued at all. Rob Sheffield can write cringy articles waxing poetic about The Beatles, but women + poc + queer people don't have their voices put on that kind of Rolling Stone platform even when they have immensely valuable things to say (The Beatles were /made/ by gay men, and women from all different backgrounds. The band members themselves acknowledged it).

      I agree! I'm kind of conflicted, because for me, my experience on tumblr has been great recently. Lots of art, fanart, memes and original fantasy fiction and fanfic-- I think more traffic could be good for tumblr, but there's also the whole "Let's monetize this dead horse site into the ground" thing that a lot of people are afraid of, and that fear is valid. Tumblr is great when it's not seen as a possible money-making machine-- it has the early internet spirit of creativity and freedom that's gone now, excepting Neocities. I'm tentatively waiting for the day that every CEO collectively agrees that Tumblr is a hopeless money pit, and when no one buys it, it will die.

    I cannot overstate the immense impact that Homestuck had on tumblr, especially fandom tumblr. The Homestuck fandom set the stage for basically every fandom drama of the 2010s and fundamentally changed the way webcomics were made and consumed. Not to mention how the cosplayers impacted conventions and the insane Kickstarter… worth an episode on its own, but you’d probably need to call in reinforcements like Strange Aeons or Sarah Z to get the full picture

Daves as far as the eye could see... I also fondly remember when it was updating, and you would get a notification at a convention and see every homestuck cosplayer immediately flock to whomever had data to read it

    You guys should look up the “just girly things” blog backstory cuz it’s actually so interesting. To sum it up (poorly), it was started by a lesbian who wanted to show her love and appreciation towards girls. And I think she was still closeted at the time. She ended up getting like a bunch of co-owners on the account, cuz she couldn’t keep up with the demand, but then they ended up not posting and being inactive, so she kept the account running ALL BY HERSELF (keep in mind she had MILLIONS of followers, and she was handling all this alone) and she didn’t even want the account to keep going but because it got so popular & out of control, she just kept doing it for her followers. She also got bullied hardcore for it which is just so heartbreaking to know. And if I remember correctly, I think she didn’t even identify with a lot of the things that she was posting, but she just wanted to post something and hopefully someone else could relate to it.
    This is just my very poor brief summary of it but pleaseeee go watch the video on it, someone posted the full backstory here on UA-cam and it’s actually really interesting and not at all what people would expect.

    KPOP was actually huge on tumblr, I just think you had to be apart of it. It was very comparable to 1D fandom even back then. You weren’t even allowed to Stan more than one group without people actually hating you. It was insane. 1000s of new edits every day. Opening an international world for all these groups. I’m pretty sure it’s the reason why it got so big today. I was going to Kpop concerts in LA because of it. And this was in 2012-2015

    -and by extension a rabbit hole for my celebrity hyperfixations, in which shaped my entire personality
    -exactly 1 viral Star Wars fan art post
    I remember writing a post DEFENDING Black Widow's depiction in Age of Ultron 🙃And I was apart of the Despicable Me fandom for a bit--Rule 43 for suuure. There's a reason I deleted my entire account lmao. Despite the cringe, I'm glad I had it when I did. Fandom and celebrity hyperfixations took over my life for a minute, sure, but I was inspired to make a lot of art, and I genuinely benefitted from the visibility of other trans masc folks.
