por ejemplo, many people have touched on this already, but people who solely associate tumblr with aesthetics are very much missing most of what tumblr consisted of there was aesthetic tumblr, and then there was fandom tumblr. did overlap, but very much different most of tumblr's most infamous moments had to do with fandom tumblr. it's hilarious to me that that era is sort of blanketly referred to as "2014 tumblr" when, arguably, 2014 was the year that started to spell the endtimes for tumblr. like the amount of shit-hitting-the-fan-ness: insurmountable. like that was the year dashcon happened, THAT SHIT was an OMEN for much worse to come
