lulavcentrism:

censorship:

i genuinely believe that 2012 was the optimal tumblr experience. like if you didnt live through 2012, you havent fully understood how much of a hell site this is. to jog some ppl’s memories:

• francieum
• quirkybrittany
• justgirlythings
• “I like your shoelaces” “I stole them from the president” and people actually fucking doing this in public
• we still called porn fics “smut” and “lemons”
• “you must be fun at parties”
• cole sprouse’s tumblr social experiment, and some people taking it so seriously that they threatened mass suicide
• mitt romney
• hetastuck (hetalia and homestuck fandoms were moirails i guess)
• hussieruya (people unironically shipping the creators of hetalia and homestuck)
• andrew hussie actually asking about hussieruya in his twitter
• the obsession with andrew hussie’s lips
• superwholock fandom (this was their prime)
• supernatural has a gif for everything
• “Fuck you watson” somehow being praised as the best comeback possible?? ok lol
• hipster side of tumblr vs fandom side of tumblr, and all those pictures of the two coexisting to bring some sort of peace? as if we were at war with each other?? wtf was up with that
• the dumbest fake stories holy shit, and everyone believed them
• benedict cumberbatch everywhere
• that sherlock gif of benedict cumberbatch looking into a door’s peep hole and people saying how if you cover one side of his face he looks confident but if you cover the other side he looks sad, so they said he’s the best actor in the world or whatever
• gangnam style everywhere
• people being shamed from using memes or even saying the word meme
• “Oh, you facebook people think tumblr is boring? Well, we’ll find you…Supernatural fandom, grab your demons! Sherlock fandom, grab your Watsons! Doctor Who fandom, grab your Tardises! Harry Potter fandom, grab your wands! Homestuck fandom, grab your strife cards! Hetalia fandom, grab your pasta!” proceed for 1628519 more fandoms
• “im pretty sure thats taylor swift” “no thats becky”
• the dancing chandler gif from friends
• “Reblog if you dont have a problem with gay marriage!” followed by ten mile long additions of rainbow gifs and pictures and 9gag memes
• potato jesus (i’ll admit, this was actually funny)
• the reblog button being at the top of posts
• cuil theory, aka “i give you a hamburger”
• 27 comments on a post just saying “INSTANT REBLOG” or “PRESS PLAY”
• song mixups from people “accidentally opening a bunch of tabs playing music” but it was actually from a pop mix album
• “ah, the scalene triangle”
• XD vs :D discourse
• the most reblogged picture on tumblr
• doge
• men of tumblr
• the cursed long ass “fedoras arent that bad!” post
• touch my butt and buy me pizza
• spread this like wildfire
• tumblr university (complete with uniforms)
• tumblr island
• tumblr nation
• these all would lead to the creation and failure of dashcon
• tumblr prom

That sounds like an actual nightmare.

    I didn’t knew 2012’s tumblr, but I still feel nostalgic about it, and understands half of the jokes XD
