FUCKING WHAT?

Lionel Lindsay (Australian ,1874 – 1961)

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.
