  I mean, being a lesbian is kind of the ultimate "just girly things"

  As someone that never left the platform, this feels exactly like when my mom tells anyone all the embarrassing stuff I did as a kid

  One controversy I def feel bad about is the Peter Pan craze on tumblr where so many of us got a crush on the cast member of Peter Pan at DisneyLand that someone ended up finding who the actor was and he ended up losing his job since Disney is really hard-core about cast members not revealing to the public their real names in order to 'keep the magic alive'

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAReVarpKhE&amp;t=2620">43:40</a> fun fact: when i went to the psych ward as a kid about three or four of us all took pictures from coloring books and colored them in weird ways (changing color or shading, adding devil horns or teeth, or just scribbling) and were doing the youtube foot lettice voice of &quot;look at this picture a bipolar 14 year old drew... You can just see the insanity in his mind...&quot;

  As an active Tumblr user, this is like staring at a list of my cults sins and doing nothing about it

  god i love and hate tumblr culture. occasionally ill find myself reciting what i thought was a widely-known meme / internet history event, only to realize ive just outed myself as a fairy-lights-bedroom-dwelling tumblr-infused fossil of a person. finally i can direct my peers to a good lesson! another banger video from izzzyzzz!

  Tumblr&apos;s revival due to twitter&apos;s downfall is the most beautiful case of irony.

  i am a long time Tumblr user and i can confirm that the&quot;i like your shoelaces&quot; thing works. the response tends to be &quot;oh fuck you goddamnit&quot; and not &quot;i stole them from the presedent&quot; but it works like a bell to Pavlov&apos;s dogs

  It genuinely feels like Cole Sprouse just felt embarrassed and pulled a redditor &quot;I did this on purpose all along&quot; move

  I’m still bitter over a girl who never returned my copy of “The Fault in our Stars” with specific mascara tear streaks on Chapter 21. I specifically cried on those pages how dare she take that from me. This might have been over a decade ago but I haven’t forgiven her.

  I will never forget the time the Steven Universe fandom almost bullied someone to suicide because they said she drew the Pink mom too skinny
