2010s teen nostalgia

reposts of the good ol' days of the fandom side of tumblr; sorry if you had to witness Superwholock

[oldfandomdays]

Hi everyone who stumbled across my tumblr! I'd like to share some introductory post to tell you a bit about the purpose of this account. Lately, I have started to miss the internet the way it was 10 years ago when I was a teenager. I thought perhaps other people feel the same way too, which is why I've decided to repost old "golden days of tumblr" fandom content ft. not all but many of your beloved fandoms from the 2010s. Or content talking about it. I hope you enjoy my occasional posts!

Stiles Stilinksi (human) solving the problem of not having supernatural abilities by constantly using his jeep as a weapon will never not be iconic. Season one had him intentionally rear-ending Peter Hale (evil alpha werewolf) and then blaming Peter for the whiplash. The only reason bad guys last as long as they do in Beacon Hills is because Stiles keeps having to take his car into the shop and has homework to do. Incredible.

I once read badly written fanfiction of fandoms I was not even part of (yes it was sold to 1D and I thought it was hilarious) and got so mad about the plot that I hurt my hand when I angrily hit my bed with my fist. Now it's a core memory of mine for some reason, but at least it will have been about 10 years this year that it happened...

Tbh lately opening tumblr feels like coming home after a long day. I'm not super active here but I don't feel overwhelmed, it's just a nice niche space and I like that.

I miss how social media felt during the 2010s. Fandoms have always been a little toxic, yes, but people came together more without absolutely hating each other. I'm so tired of scrolling through comments where people start petty arguments over what they interpreted the comment above them said. Then follows a string of back-and-forth clarification on what the original comment actually meant, and suddenly people start insulting each other? I know this is anecdotal evidence but I've seen it happen more and more and it really makes me miss the days of comment sections being a "oh, we like the same thing! Awesome!" space.

Honestly, whenever those alpha male podcasters talk about how men should look to appeal to women, I think of how popular Stiles became with fangirls despite being the only male main character not shown shirtless in a show about shirtless sixpack werewolves.
