i wonder if i will still use tumblr in 5 years
The (un)funny thing about this (seven year old) post is that seven years ago the internet was such that one could reasonably imagine that in 5 years there would be other, better platforms that would make tumblr sort of outdated and cringy. Now the alternatives to tumblr are Corporations Spying On You, Absolute Hellhole Of Discourse Over Tumblr Screenshots, Corporations Spying On You, Tumblr Posts But In Video Form While Corporations And The Chinese Government Spy On You, That Platform You Signed On After The Titty Ban Spread Mass Panic And You Never Used Since, and reddit
People who have never done anything to actively and materially benefit their community love to get on social media and say "lib (derogatory)" to anyone who says Hey, since the revolution you claim to so desperately want isn't currently taking place, maybe you could do something to actually help others in the interim.

2013-2016 tumblr culture was really amazing. you could just post blatant lies and say "if you're wondering why you didn't learn this in history class......you know why" and literally nobody would bother to fact-check you. it was a lawless town
Yeah uh this didn’t stop in 2016 y’all still act like this
man y’all remember when the avengers movie came out and everyone headcanoned that all the avengers would live together in the tower and had all these cute posts about various fun ways they could interact and then the movies literally never had any of them even be friends
I want to state, for the record, that “all the avengers would live together in the tower” wasn’t collective headcanon, it was canon. The very last scene of Avengers (2012), the one they left us on, is Tony redesigning the tower, designing a living area for each Avenger. That was, canonically, what was supposed to happen, in canon, and they just changed their minds and decided to… not. For whatever goldarn reason.

Do you like poems?
bunjywunjy answered:
yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem
for context these are the poems
also I almost forgot but the r/ambien Gives Us The Sleep post takes a completely serious third place in my favorite poems list:
and COMING HOT at NUMBER FOUR on my list, it's Fragment 147! an accidental poem created when the original parchment containing a text by Sappho was used to stop a wine jug more than 2,000 years ago- eventually the wine dissolved most of the parchment, leaving just a few words and BOY do they prove that the Universe has a sense of irony.
me when I was 16 and freshly into superhero media: it’s actually kinda fucked up that everyone is vigilantes…..like wouldn’t it be better if superheroes WERE operating with some kind of government oversight? people shouldn’t just take laws into their own hands. they should be more like the army or police.
me a decade later: WHEN EVERY SUPERHERO IS ALIGNED WITH A GOVERNMENT, SUPERHERO STORIES BECOME NARRATIVES DEFENDING THE STATUS QUO AND THE POWERFUL, AND EVERY SUPERHERO MOVIE IS A DEFENSE OF AUTHORITARIANISM, AND EVERY HENCHMAN KILLED IS A CASE OF EXTRAJUDICIAL MURDER. IT’S STILL MURDER WHEN THEY’RE VIGILANTES BUT WHEN THE MURDER ISN’T GOVERNMENTALLY SANCTIONED YOU GET THE SENSE THAT SUPERHEROES DO THINK THEY NEED TO DIAL THE MURDER BACK. ALSO IT MAKES THE STORIES BORING WHICH ISN’T AS POLITICALLY AS IMPORTANT BUT AESTHETICALLY???? REMEMBER UNDERDOG STORIES CHRIST THOSE WERE FUN RIGHT??????????????
