  An outgoing asexual and a pan person who hates everybody? You mean SpongeBob and Squidward? Yeah, they're still making that show.

  If I had a nickel for every tumblr animation scam based on a popular text post I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.

  I was yelling “Just make a webcomic” at the screen during the first bit. This didn’t need to be a series it would have worked perfectly well as a webcomic

  The "outgoing" ace leaning over with their arms limp and a goofy, almost crazed, grin on their face is oh so very tumblr.

  “Tumblr indigogo scam” doesn’t narrow it down tbh 😂

  The premise of "All or Nothing" probably would have worked better as a web comic.

  I feel like Friends was pitched at “straight people are roommates” and it got 9 seasons

  The image of a few teenagers asking for a paltry $600 to buy a camera and make a small series is very cute. Them getting 10x their pledge goal and not having a bank account to hold it in is just adorable. I love this story. I think if they had said up front they were amateurs, people might have still donated to help some artsy kids and wouldn&apos;t have hounded them for the nothingburger it turned out to be.<br><br>Their trusted adult draining that entire $6000 without consulting them and probably never paying them back, leaving them to deal with the backlash? Yeah that&apos;s unbelievably messed up.

  “Can my niece wire $5000 to your account so she can make a tv show?”<br><i>Looks at overdue bills</i><br>“Sure”

  The idea of a girl recapping old internet history is so fun. Someone should make a sitcom about that.

  Seeing all these failed Tumblr projects I&apos;m completely bamboozled as to how the Ratatouille TikTok musical got made

  If the story about the loss of funds is true, I wonder which option is worse:<br>- the person didn&apos;t know about the campaign and thought these 6000dollars were the kid&apos;s personal earnings/savings and willingly stole from a child<br>- the person knew about the campaign and willingly stole from a LOT of strangers and left a child to deal with the consequences. <br>Either way: yikes.
