Posts That You Only Ever See In Screenshots

I love iconic tumblr posts, so I wanted to find the originals and share them! Feel free to DM me/submit legendary posts!

[legendary-posts]

If I reblog you and you aren't the OP, it's because the OP has deactivated and I have no other way of reblogging the post! My goal is to archive iconic posts. Tumblr's shitty search engine is my enemy and I try to tag posts with the key words so people can find them. I have a folder with over 10,000 screenshots of tumblr posts I found on reddit and instagram and one day I hope to archive all of them.

I've been obsessed with tumblr culture since I was 13 and I hope to never stop.

tags I use are #legendary post, #legendary posts, #long post, #low note post and #this post is no longer viewable through tumblr

If you ever feel like you’ve screwed up, just remember that in 1348 the Scots thought it would be a good idea to invade England because the English were weakened by the Plague. They subsequently caught the plague themselves, went back to Scotland, and killed half their own population.

I fucked up

[garaks-padded-bra]

yes, you may think this happened because i left the can in the freezer overnight, only to abruptly awaken to a blast that shook my home,But I am a man of science and am not so easily convinced by such claims. Not when so many other factors were at play. The only logical thing to do is to repeat the conditions of the experiment two more times to ensure reliability and detect outliers. My hypothesis is that this one wont explode

[garaks-padded-bra]

GOOD HEAVENS

[garaks-padded-bra]

I wanted everyone to think im a cool and fun summer guy:(

but obviously i am just a stupid smelly scientist… back to the laboratory i guess..

[garaks-padded-bra]

Perhaps one more try… in the name of scientific integrity…..

[garaks-padded-bra]

Under PENALTY of INSTANT DEATH do NOT make blackout poetry of my posts. It is improper behavior and makes me wanna explode. You will receive 80 concussions. Don't make me spell it out again

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

[gaesnek]

[monkey-mulch]

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

[red-mercer]

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people's business

[grimeclown]

ITS DERIVED FROM "NARCO" AS IN "NARCOTICS" WHAT FUCKING BOOK

[grimeclown]

Okay you know what pulling back on my derision because i can see how this mistake would be made but narc and nark are etymologically unrelated

[headspace-hotel]

Etymology is always doing some shit like this

[bogleech]

Convergent evolution.

[wokeuplaughing]

I love this genre of tumblr posts that’s basically the online equivalent of playing power rangers on the playground

[c3rvida3]

My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

[c3rvida3]

I think everyone should be doing this btw. Maybe, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," could be our, "Always."

Meet the Mona Lisa of the Prado, the earliest known copy of Da Vinci’s best portrait. Similarity in the undersketch of the painting indicates that this was very likely painted concurrently with the original Mona Lisa, by a student of Da Vinci.

There is much controversy in the art world over the question of whether or not to clean the fragile Mona Lisa, but her sister has been restored and some fairly odd later alterations removed to show the original vibrant colors and lighting. Some details, such as the sheerness of her shawl and the pattern on the neckline of her dress, have become utterly obscured in the original, but in the restored copy they’re perfectly clear.

It blows my mind a little bit to look at these two sisters side-by-side and imagine how much vivid detail could be hiding in the Mona Lisa under 500 years of rotten varnish.

THE COPY HAS EYEBROWS

[rxseblue-archive]

Your response to a beautiful piece of artwork done by Leonardo Da Vinci himself is “SHES GOT EYEBROWS”. Alright. All intelligent life has been lost.

[vastderp-placeholder]

Yo Snooty McSnotwhine, the Mona Lisa’s vanished eyebrows have been the subject of debate and analysis in the art expert community for hundreds of years, long before your parents squirted water at each other from across the clown car and then honked their bicycle horns to indicate they really wanted to make a smug, insufferable little clown baby together.

what HAPPENED here

[dwinkus]

my friend liz downloaded some free audio software a few months ago to do something and now every time she joins a call a female voice says “trial. trial.” and liz doesn’t remember the name of the software or know how to stop it and she doesn’t want to

[dwinkus]

my friend liz had her spotify account hacked and literally didn’t realize for a year until I was talking about my decade in review playlist and she looked at hers and it was all brazilian music and she was like oh this explains why I would go to sleep listening to classical music and wake up and it’s playing trap. and also why there are like 30 playlists on my account that I didn’t make. she just thought spotify was like that

[dwinkus]

hand to god at some point my friend liz managed to fuck up her install of Portal so bad that it was displaying minecraft textures

[dwinkus]

[dwinkus]

[dwinkus]

like she’s bringing me dead mice

[dwinkus]

[dwinkus]

tonight she very carefully explained that there’s been a screw rattling around in her laptop for months but today it stopped which means it’s wedged on something and then the image on the screen started sliding sideways but she rebooted three times and now it’s fixed. and then an hour later she dropped from the call

[dwinkus]

[dwinkus]

also she said her laptop bluescreens every time she connects to the school wifi specifically I guess just to round things out

[lindenattic]

house is a girl you have to take care of her

[lindenattic]

the house. a house. your house. building. residence. abode. not that faggot from the tv show

[toskarin]

guy: it sucks that the train back is such a long ride

his friend who is trying to get him to wear foot shaped shoes with toes but is taking it slow: it does

[toskarin]

[transarsonist]

Hey what's outside the bounds of that screenshot

[toskarin]

[urfaveisunfuckable]

[kaylapocalypse]

An event happened to me tonight

[kaylapocalypse]

I’m chosing to believe he didn’t pee. I’m chosing to believe he got in and immediately went “uh oh”

But, before he could get out, I got in. So then, he helplessly just turned to me and said the first thing that could describe our mutual situation:

Welcome to the pee pee palace.

[pussyronin-deactivated20260120]

Me: my god.. i did it.. i killed him..!

Angel on my shoulder: we're extremely fortunate. You shot him in the side of the head and you're wearing gloves. Place the gun in his hand and set the house ablaze. Officer Goger's tragic suicide will be the perfect cover story

Devil on my shoulder: Goger was always eating stuffing and spelt wheat and steel cut oats. Bet he'd taste reeeeal good on a spit with an apple in his mouth. Come on, i've seen the way you've looked at him..

My tulpa, a 6'9" DD smokeshow hottie PS1 graphics anthro leopard girl in a lab coat: you must put a baby in me Your Highness, quickly!
