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.

Ratings and Reviews
I am cringe but I am free
I don’t know what to say other than if you have specific interests only don’t want to view anything else other than that then this is the place for you. Join us, learn off the the vocabulary, be cringe, be free, join fandoms and block political tags so you only see the cool stuff that’s what social media should be about
There are a lot of pornbot accounts though
Staff Are Actively Making It Worse Constantly
Staff are reworking reblogs to not show the whole thing which is a completely worthless change that actively accomplishes nothing and also goes against the entire site culture of additive posts, meaning it’ll ruin everything. The worst part is that this isn’t even a good change from an advertising or monetary standpoint either, it’s just objectively terrible and against everyone’s interest.
They also keep making it more algorithmic and like I cannot express enough how much I only use tumblr for the lack of algorithms. I want to see the people I follow and nothing else, and if that ever becomes impossible I will stop using your garbage website.
These are not singular incidents, it’s all like this. It’s turned into a death of a thousand cuts of bad web design with every small thing I like being slowly ruined. It’s barely usable anymore. 0/10, uninstalled.
A decaying platform
I have no idea what staff are doing to this app but it's quickly becoming unusable, every 2-3 posts is an ad that takes up your entire screen, tumblr live is being pushed on all users with no way to opt out of it (i have legit not seen ONE person who uses or enjoys tumblr live, it is nothing but a nuisance), the messaging function is almost completely useless as your messages will not send and/or you will not receive messages that have been sent to you, same goes for the Ask function. Not to mention how staff will flag simple selfies from trans people as NSFW and have them taken down or have their blogs completely removed. This is absolutely not okay. The developers seriously need to actually LISTEN to their user base or they are going to see a severely steep decline in users. We are tired of not being listened to and having our legit concerns ignored.
