Description

Welcome home.

Tumblr: home to your new favorite artist. Come for the effervescent digital paintings in every flavor of fandom. Stay for the breathtaking original offerings of those same artists. And, in between all the art: Old internet energy. All the fandoms you could wish for. Enough memes to knock out a moderately-sized mammal. Add to it or simply scroll through and soak it up.

Every piece of life-changing art you discover, every waterfall GIF you gaze at in wonder, every quote you reblog, every tag you curate—that’s all you. Reblog them to show the world who you are, what you love. You’re the explorer. We’re just a map you all keep on making. Welcome home. Make it yours.

If you’re an artist, you’re coming in hot to a community that will love your work. Think of this as your online studio with many options: A portfolio, your calling card for your creations with in-built social engagement and community, or an online drawing board, a place to hash out ideas, share sketches, and gather feedback. Take requests and commissions or join art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust. Discuss the finer points of your favorite brushes. Create OC art for your favorite writers on Tumblr. Sell prints (coasters! mugs! tchotchkes!) of your work—to an audience invested in you and actively seeking these things via our Artist Alley. Create a webcomic (have you heard of Heartstopper? Started here.)

Now picture all of the above, but on the go. That’s what this is.

-

Chances are if you’ve seen it elsewhere, it probably started here. That digital painting you can’t stop thinking about. That text post explaining the exquisite specifics of something you never realized you needed to know. Your dashboard will become a tapestry of all the wonderful, nonsensical, fantastical things you like. Whether you post, lurk in likes, or reblog to your personal online fridge. Whatever your community, you’ll find a ready-made home here.

When you have something to say—a hot take on the finer points of a Virgo moon, Barbie fanfic, an image of your turtle Harold that you simply *have* to share with the world: Shoot your shot with a photo, a video, or a text post. Make an audio post of your ramblings or share your current favorite song via Spotify. We even have a pre-set chat post for all your incorrect quotes.

The reblog starts conversations for everyone, creates jokes, and continues them—sometimes across the world and over the years. Time and space, right here at your very fingertips. Whatever you choose to send into our effervescent digital ether, know that it can, and will, go anywhere. (Unless, of course, you use our post-level reblog controls. Private blog? Private post? All possible here).

Tumblr is the home of fandom. We’ve all got that one special blorbo from our shows. There’s fanart you’ll want to stare at, reblog, stare at again—or create yourself, and share with the community. You can read your favorite ficcers from ao3 *and* see their OC art on Tumblr *and* discuss the finer points of lore with them. Pokémon? Got it. Marvel? Here. Kpop? Check. Supernatural? Of course. Minecraft? Ready and waiting. Star Wars? Yes! Doctor Who? Doctor YOU! You get the idea: it’s all here.

It’s a whole universe out here. If the prospect of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels a little daunting, head over to tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will take you through the finer points of Tumblr etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.

So. Sign up, fall in love with some art, follow some tags, and find your place on the dashboard. Then reblog, like, and post to your heart’s content. Or simply drift through the dream you’ve created for yourself—you hold the keys to this kingdom.

Oh tumblr..

Personally, I love tumblr. In the beginning it was phenomenal. As far as social media platforms go, tumblr was a safe place to voice whatever was on your mind (and really it still is.....but). For myself, tumblr was the place I could go to really be myself. I could reblog, post, and like whatever I wanted without worry of judgement. It was the only platform I could go to truly post whatever my heart desired. I still consider it my safe space, but since the policy changes that took place around New Years It just doesn’t feel the same. There used to be so much honesty, humbleness, and raw, originality amongst the community. I feel the policy changes constricted and controlled the rawness of the community’s atmosphere. It doesn’t feel as freeing and unique as it once did. Also, since the changes there’s an insane increase in random sketchy porn accounts that follow and try to contact you (I didn’t have a problem before the changes, but now I’ve got porn bot accounts trying to follow my personal account all the time, and the other tumblr users I’ve talked to are experiencing the same issue).

I don’t know man, I just feel like the tumblr now is not at all as great and original as it used to be. It used to feel like we (the community) were one big ol awkward family, and now it’s almost overrated and it’s losing its originality.

Hoping the staff sees this (doubt they will), I just feel like this concern should be voiced somewhere.

In the long run though, if you’re new here and thinking about joining the community, do it. It’s worth it. There’s a place in my heart for tumblr, it’s helped me through some rough patches for sure.

Ugh

Tumblr itself is awesome but this app constantly crashes and refuses to open and you have to delete and redownload to get anywhere

Trash

I had over 17,000 followers for my adult content nsfw page until you removed all of that and basically made all my work and my entire blog null. There were nsfw features for a reason and shouldn’t have been viewed by anyone under 18+ anyways. Realize who your users were, mostly adults, and tumblr has been trash ever since. Bring back our nsfw content. You’re failing.
