Good things that come from being on Tumblr for 5+ years:
By this point, youâve either found a blog theme that you like or youâve completely resigned yourselves to the default themes. Either way, you no longer care about your blog theme and thatâs the way it should be.
You constantly gain a new appreciation for the, like, five followers that have followed you since the beginning.
You have a never-ending library of memes in your blogâs archives
If you ever need a pick-me-up, you can go back into the depths of your blog and find old content that you never thought youâd see again.
You probably never reblog unsourced/reposted art because youâve been on Tumblr long enough to remember the original post in the first place.
A great appreciation for the updates that actually made the site work better (putting the reblog button at the bottom of the page, for instance)
A complete apathy to any sort of drama that this site devolves into.
Youâve probably discovered XKit by now and are grateful every day of your life.
Youâve seen and/or participated in some of the greatest events on this website, for better or worse (Mishapocalypse, the âreblog this if youâre in _______ fandomâ posts, âWhat color is the sky?â, DashCon and the immediate fallout)
Bad things that come from being on Tumblr for 5+ years:
Different day, different discourse.
Youâve slowly watched people that youâve followed for years go through eighty blog changes and that cool SuperWhoLock blog you once liked is now a belly-button fetish blog and you have to wonder where it all went wrong.
âGuys we literally settled this argument like two years ago why the fuck are we doing this all over againâ
Living long enough to see peopleâs opinions on groups, events, and identities completely flip flop in the course of a couple of years.
Your block list is a mile long and full of porn blogs
Going from thinking that Tumblr was the best website ever to an old, jaded veteran who just wants to post memes is a very hardcore slide and itâs given me whiplash
Posts that you really used to like were deleted a long time ago back before deactivation was a thing.
Being 18+ years old on this site and knowing that the opinions of most of the users basically boil down to what minors think is social justice but really isnât. Their hearts are in the right placeâŠbut⊠well, theyâve got a ways to go.
Out of the blue, someone will message you about why you donât post about certain shows anymore and you donât have the heart to tell them that you havenât tuned into that show in 4 years.
I hate this website let me drink and leave me be.
