It seems that the staff is actually going to go forward with their decision to remove reblog chains, where reblogs will basically work like regular comments on other websites.
This doesn't just make the site completely unusable, it removes the soul of the community that has managed to build up here over the years, and that I'm so happy to have recently joined.
It makes impossible the creation of great posts where many people build up a single thing, until it is a gem of expressed human creativity.
There will be no more world heritage posts, no more messing around with your mutuals, no posts worth remembering.
There will be no more Tumblr, and the Tikblr or TumbTube or whatever monstrosity is born from its corpse will soon die, as is probably the best. And then there will never be another place like this on the internet, no place anymore to run to, no more fun, no more community.
I recommend a simple course of action. When these changes get imposed upon us, stop using Tumblr. Get your mutuals' discords, your favourite artists' websites, and leave. If the Tumblr we have once known returns, we well too. If not, better let it die quickly than suffer a long and painful decline.
I beg you to reblog this, for the more people see it, the higher chanses are for this to work.
And add something, so we can show them what Tumblr is really for.
These turtles still out here putting a smile on my face šš§”

Like bro, it's no longer a theory-
The fact that Clarence and over the garden wall exist in the same universe astounds me.
Even more so that they live IN THE SAME FUCKING TOWN!!!!
Very fond of the amount of stuff in OTGW that just isn't elaborated on at all. The most obvious example is of course, Jason Funderberker singing, but also the inexplicable bowties the creepy squirrels are wearing in the first episode, the size of Pottsfield turkeys, Auntie Whispers isn't Lorna's real aunt, both Enoch and QotC as a whole, the turtles, the catfish in endicott's fountain, the Beast's lantern in Pottsfield to name less than a handful. There are definitely fictional worlds that leave a lot more up to interpretation, but OTGW truly nails a dreamlike quality in a way no other can compare to.
The way that this scene absolutely broke me š
In 2018, Hulu held a series of polls on Twitter known as the #HuluTVTournament. Incredibly, out 64 shows in the running, including some big name shows then, Gravity Falls came out on top as the winner! This is the story of that event!
Link Below!
A huge thank you to @eregyrn-falls for letting me use some screenshots from the event to help tell the story and archive some now long deleted tweets, such as Alex's tweet that helped GF thrash Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the final round!

I contemplated if I should post this or not but honestly I'm so proud of the way it turned out I feel like it'd be a crime not to.
Original screenshot for reference. I had a lot of fun redrawing it and messing with lighting.

Hi everyone, I just spent the last few years trying to get asylum in a small eastern european country on the grounds of transphobic persecution. I failed at that, and am now struggling to regain what stability I had there.
The warning I had of my deportation was not enough to do all the necessary immigration paperwork for what comes next. As a result, I now have to retreat to a third party country for a month while I do that paperwork.

Three stripes- one dark purple, one yellow, and one black, combined with the negative space to make the nonbinary flag
Four stripes: one pink, one light purple, one blue, and one black,Ā combined with the negative space to make the genderfluid flag
