[partywithponies]

Eras of tumblr lore that no-one ever talks about:

Shoplifting discourse

The True Crime Community and the Teacher Crush Community fighting over ownership of the tag "tcc" and each thinking the other was The Worst (spoiler: both were pretty bad)

Mooncourse

Jupitearth (and other humanised planets ships as well)

tumblr user francieum

tumblr user forfuturereferenceonly

Cole Sprouse and the social experiment

my idea of "tumblr famous" blogs is stuck in 2016 because if you asked me for some examples i would be like oh yeah pizza, francieum, forfuturereferenceonly, thebootydiaries, you know, the usual

christmas eve what about christmas adam

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Someone isn’t having a good christmas adam

Quirkybrittany, forfuturereferenceonly, and francieum walk into a bar

tumblr user francieum, eh… *takes slow drag from cigarette* haven’t heard that name in years….

[klapollo]

forfuturereferenceonly did this bit like it was their job over ten years ago and it wasn't funny then either

so many queer ppl will be like "deviating from social norms is part of who we are" and then gleefully participate in fatphobia/diet culture and nearly make being skinny an entire ideology and identity

Watched a tiktok last night about how the blog YourFaveIsProblematic ruined the entire (or maybe just the leftist) internet’s entire ability for critical thinking. Just thinking about how I watched that blog rip through this website in real time, how I learned to interact with the world through that kind of lens, how people have used that way of thinking to hurt others in the name of being “unproblematic”… and how it was run by one person. One person (who has since come forward and stated how much she regrets it) single handedly has the power to sway how so many of us think.

forfuturereferenceonly?

vintage francieum-era blogger whose whole shtick was responding w over-the-top social justice-style responses to harmless posts. Notable points: veganism, otherkin discourse, "check your privilege," developing a Replies Rivalry with francieum. People tended to take her seriously bc believe it or not this website used to have even less critical thinking capacity. here are some of her posts I found on Google images

Later she did reveal that the whole thing had been a social experiment to the tune of "tumblr social justice culture is 100% passion and language 0% actual direction and action," and that the persona was based off Kankri Vantas. This does not fix the fact that the phrase "non-vegan coffee for the privileged" still echoes around my head like the DVD player screensaver every time I pass a Starbucks

As someone who has been on tumblr for almost the entirety of the current decade, I now find myself reminiscing on everyone that’s come and gone. Superwholock, Riley, forfuturereferenceonly, the color of the sky. So many ghosts.

hey who here has been on tumblr long enough to remember francium and forfuturereferenceonly

[hstarki11er]

being on tumblr in 2012-2013 definitely permanently altered our brains. the feral energy this site had back then is, to this day, unmatched...

we saw francieum and forfuturereferenceonly handcraft the phrase “check your privilege” and thus the idea of “woke”ness was born out of their wombs...we laid back & watched as c*mmunismkills got doxxed, evicted, & fired...we witnessed people having breakdowns over cole sprouse’s “social experiment” as they aired out their trust issues for days...we either joined in the mishapocalypse or resigned to the hell that this site had fallen into...we foolishly reblogged the original post that said “we should have a tumblr convention!” that would one day lead to dashcon, the great ancestor of the fyre festival...we truly saw it all

[carolxdanvers]

I unironically loved francium and forfuturereferenceonly

weird forgotten tumblr things

- don’t hug me i’m scared fandom with the humanoid notebook and clock - fluffy chicken day - those blue pictures that said ‘reblog if you’re in the ______ fandom!’ - all the tumblr island, tumblr university, etc. plans that eventually led to the planning of a tumblr convention which is what gave us the beautiful shitshow that was dashcon. the dashcon ballpit was overall tumblr’s best meme in my time on here imo, second only to sonic for real justice - tumblr trick or treating on halloween¿? - TUMBLR PROM - everyone remembers mishapocalypse but remember the all-out war that went down a year later when people couldn’t decide if there should be another one?? that was honestly almost as scary as the actual mishapocalypse - speaking of misha collins, when he posted his phone number online and this entire website collectively lost its shit. everyone had to post their text convos w/ misha - FRANCIEUM VS FORFUTUREFERENCEONLY - “the only adult supervision we have on tumblr is john green” (yikes) - the time everyone was gonna purposely not post anything the sunday after the guy who played uncle vernon in the harry potter movies died because of the quote “no post on sundays” but then everyone like……forgot and posted stuff anyway - the tumblr version of some nights by fun - moreos guy - when the 50th anniversary of doctor who fell on the same day as some one direction thing and everyone got really offended at this facebook post someone had screenshotted that said like “1d will be around way longer than ur shitty alien tv show” lmao - “swiggity swag, what’s in the bag” - when yahoo was buying tumblr and everyone was flipping shit and making posts saying shit like “yahoo better not go ToO fAR!!! they have an army, but we have a hulk!!!” honestly if i was yahoo and considering buying a website for more than a million dollars and then saw that that was what the userbase was like i would have backed the fuck out of that business deal - those “men of tumblr” posts, you know the ones i mean - when everyone hated miranda cosgrove?? was there a reason behind that or,, - back in 2013 everyone was planning to do this “tumblr day” on march 5th where you were supposed to write a big t on your hand and then if you saw anyone else with it you were supposed to “hug and exchange urls” lmao. im pretty sure no one actually did this but if that doesn’t describe the general social climate of tumblr back then idk what does

[melchiorgabor]

who's the-vashta-nerada?

i honestly don’t even remember why i hated them so much, i just remember that they or the reaction they evoked from tumblr users was so fucking ANNOYING that i had to blacklist their url

if i remember correctly, i felt about them the way i feel about current Overly Popular Tumblr Users (none of whom i’ll name now, for my own sake) that i blocked because they were unfunny and just seeing their content reblogged by their fans was annoying

i did some research and found something linking them to forfuturereferenceonly who i ALSO had blocked/blacklisted, and i remember that a little more clearly, but only barely....anyway, i’m sorry i can’t be more help!

tldr: an old tumblr user that was just fucking unbearable, probably, 

[foundcarcosa]

shit I’d completely forgotten about francieum and forfuturereferenceonly
