dumbledorably:

what i still think of as “the tumblr experience” despite most of it having been obsolete for years now:

• the mishapocalypse (or, why i still have ‘misha’ entered in tumblr savior)
• “i have lost the ability to can”
• jokes abt clint barton eating birdseed n making birdcalls n stuff 
• “make john green find the thing” and its sequel “who will find this post first, john green, tumblr user pizza, or a vegan”

• when the buttons were on the top of posts and you’d have to scroll UPHILL, BOTH WAYS to reblog anything
• RED, the blood of angry men! BLACK, the dark of ages past! TEA, a drink with jam and bread! That will bring us back to DOE, doe, doe, doe… 
• (also: black, the color of dis bear)
• endlessly looped zooming gifs on colin morgan’s face on doctor who with the text “IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE”
• the whovian fandom making fun of hipster blogs for reblogging out-of-context dw stuff
• “what if they made a tumblr musical about a forbidden love affair between a hipster blogger and a fandom blogger”
• people calling david karp their dad and then he sold us

• the “in that moment i swear we were infinite” quote from perks of being a wallflower used everywhere until it reached meme status

• tumblr university
• “there are two kinds of people”
• repeating a funny comment on a post in all caps
• everyone HATED cole sprouse
• the harry potter fandom running out of things to gif, leading to analysis of inter-house friendship bc some extras hugged in the background of goblet of fire
• i like your shoelaces
• that gifset of will turner proposing to elizabeth swann and she yells BARBOSSA and the comment is like “when was he an option?!?!”
