i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.
This is wild
the hilarity of the post being I will have no clout in the cloutless website being uploaded by a white girl seeking clout in the insufferable seeking clout app
Tumblr is just a bunch of weirdos shouting in a field (and occasionally saying deeply meaningful things).
You can just be yourself here, you don't have to worry about prying eyes, you can reveal as much or as little as you like, and your content is self-curated. And it's sorted solely by reverse chronology.
It's perfect BECAUSE it's none of the things modern social media is.

unrelated but one of the bad fanfiction lines that has been trapped in my head for LITERALLY 22 years was a beauty and the beast fanfic in which belle said “be careful, im a virgin in my vagina”. this has been on the tip of my tongue threatening to burst out of my mouth for decades
