🚨🚨🗣️BURDGE IS BACK, THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🗣️🚨🚨

literally the original backbone of this fandom and the blueprint for 95% of percy art…a (show critical 😌) legend returns!!

An old school burdge throwback because I miss the good ole’ days.

My mermay attempt at @burdge “a different kind” which is hands down my favourite art of theirs, ever, even over their jily stuff! Definitely go look at all their art! They have jily, everlark, and more!

the silent understanding within the pjo fandom to rb burdge every time they appear on the dash.... effervescent

I like to periodically re-download tumblr to giggle and kick my feet at fanart I’ve seen 300 times before just to deactivate the next day

I made this just to gauge what people think. Is this accurate?

tumblr eras

2010: beginning of mainstream

true microblogging platform

fuckyeah! blogs

there were actual celebrities on tumblr

2012-2014: twee “tumblr girl” aesthetic and peak fandom (superwholock & homestuck)

“sides” of tumblr (i.e. “science side of tumblr, explain!” and hipster vs. fandom sides of tumblr)

I feel like viria’s and burdge’s PJO and HP art was especially big

“I like your shoelaces”

2014-2020: peak “tumblr discourse” (think Steven Universe and the rise of TERFs); kinda faded out after the kinning wars and that whole rabies thing

2015: John Green/fishingboatproceeds C*ck Monologue and end of post edits

2017-2019: peak musical theater fandom (Hamilton, Be More Chill, etc.), Voltron fandom

2018: p*rn ban and mass exit

2020: ATLA revival (fr that’s all I remember from 2020 tumblr)—jk remember November 2020? election results, Stacey Abrams, destielgate/superhell, et. al.

2021-present: collective memes that are only important on tumblr (e.g., horse plinko, it’s me i’m the ps5, slug reacts, blorbo, bug ass)

lots of general celebration of queer media (very different from early tumblr where it was all speculation and shipping)

Elon bought twitter, so kind of a new era for tumblr

also, of course, Dracula Daily

[write-ou-gauche]

just discovered viria and burdge are back with new pjo fanart and it's the best kind of nostalgia

Feel like pure shit just want her back.
