@casualfandomwithtim: Some of y’all skipped Tumblr University and it SHOWS. We need to return to the ancient texts immediately. #tumblraesthetic #tumblr2014 #ao3fanfic #ao3fanfiction #fandoms
Also tumblr will teach people to read real quick. You won't get policed for grammar but you will get roasted for lack of comprehension. Tumblr thrives on wordplay and textual analysis.

Tumblr taught me to block people without guilt. People try to make it a big deal when they are blocked. But we're all strangers.

There were apparently people who weren’t even looking for the ship or the fandom they wanted and just… browsing ao3 and wondering why “the algorithm” was showing them all this crazy stuff. Bby there is no plane there is no algorithm you gotta go into the specific fandoms you want and exclude the stuff you don’t want

I’m never letting my Tumblr go (she just had her quince not too long ago) It really did TEACH you rules and regulations.

Tumblr & Fanfiction.net taught me the etiquette at the ripe age of 10yrs old. I didn’t go to ao3 til I was 15, I’m now 25 and have been on ao3 for 10years now

I’m old… I remember when there were no tags, no warnings… NOTHING! 😂 I was there when fics started being called “lemons” 🍋 You got cool real quick with knowing that you might walk into something you weren’t ready for.

I would also argue that AMVs & that creator community taught a lot of us how to network + collab with other people (even if half of us were lying about our real names lol). & how to know boundaries when it came to blending fanfiction/Fandom + making content to display our fandom
