#onceler fandom 2021

[greenbirdtrash]

I grew up with the 2012 Onceler WITHOUT knowing about how much of a king the 72' version was. He's more DILFy,the 2012 one is a young guy with Mommy issues and he needs therapy

See?

There's a lot of adaptations, and in each of them there's something for everyone. You literally can find a canon Onceler to your liking, the book one, 1972, 2012, the ones from the musical (2015-2021) - there's a lot of them and they're all kinda fucked up cool in their own ways :3

I remember reading the OG book back in my english classes, but 2012 movie was something that got me into this fandom

I feel like it was my duty to do my research and learn everything about every adaptation, and i don't regret it

Ooc: another announcement/boundaries

I come back here after noticing a weird phenomenon in the fandom. Yes I did leave, even blocking tags and unfollowing a lot of people, and this is coming especially from some friends who realised it as well, since I totally cut everything with the fandom and I don't really know what's going on lately.

What "phenomenom" I'm talking about? The blantantly copying, of course.

What I mean by that is that some of us realised that some people in the fandom, instead of coming up with original ideas, decide to shamelessly copy our concepts and make it their own. And it's not only with others who deoncelerized, no, sometimes it's even with ocs who are still -lers.

Now don't get me wrong, I think gatekeeping especially in the art community is disgusting, I cannot stand people who are like "you're not allowed to use the same poses or colors as I do." Because it's absolutely stupid, you cannot copyright things such as colors or poses.

But when it's about characters... It's a little more delicate. Especially in such a small fandom, where it's impossible that it is a "coincidence" if your character happens to have the same gimmick or color palette as another.

Maybe for some of you, it's alright if someone gets inspired by your oc to make their own, and it's your choice. But listen: if you really want to use the same gimmick as another oc, maybe ask first? Instead of blantantly taking the concept and claiming it your own, making people believe it's your original idea when it's pretty obvious you just ctrl c ctrl v someone else's oc. And what's the most hurtful is to see that these "bootlegs" are often more popular that the originals.

So I'm coming here to put a quick boundary:

Please, even if I left the fandom, do not shamelessly copy Ranler's concept. If you really want some kind of radioactive oc, please be original. Come up with your own concept and idea, and do not, under any circumstances, copy anything I did, I'm just not ok with that. I've been here since early 2021, been working on my oc for so long, and I would be really upset if someone copy paste his whole concept and design and claim it at their own.

Along these lines, I am also not ok if you "impersonate" Ranler. What I mean by that is, I'm not ok if you roleplay as him, or create a blog acting as him (example: I left the fandom but you still want a Ranler onceler blog, so you make one yourself). It makes me really uncomfortable. I don't really think anyone would be THAT attached to him, since I got lot of hate when I first made him, but tbh I'm just writing all that as a "I warned you" if I see anyone copy my stuff and use it as their own. Don't cry if I DM you saying you copied me. Like I said, this fandom is so tiny you CAN'T pretend it's a coincidence, it's simply impossible, and it makes me really uncomfortable to see some of my friends' concepts are being shamelessly ripped off and they somehow get more popular [isnt it funny how the 2021/2022 wave felt excluded and our concepts disliked but now so many people copy them? Crazy]

Anyway, that was just me writing down my boundaries. If you read this, I really hope you understand. And if you're reading this and copied someone's oc, I really hope you reconsider what you are doing, and maybe ask the original owner if they are ok with it, and do not be upset if they tell you to stop, you should respect people's boundaries, and you'll always be at fault for shamelessly copying an idea someone spent months or more writing.

I feel like you’re such an integral part of this fandom I always appreciate your takes, your art, etc. and yeah I could have just sent this via discord but everyone needs to know how amazing you are!!!!

that’s me looking at you ⬇️

BIG BABY OBSTAGOON HIIIII<3333

Hi friedrich I always love to see you both in my askbox AND in my discord. Thank you so much, heh

Its still crazy to me to think back of exactly how long I’ve been drawing Ghost stuff in particular. Since late 2021… four whole years. I’ve been a fan of the band for far longer than I’ve been creating for it, which I think helps a lot in regards to knowing some of the bands earlier history and knowing the timeline of events. Also see: I’m autistic and clinically insane (actually. Really. Not jokingly) and thus I inhale information about this band like its my 9 to 5

what helps with the rest? With my takes and my opinions?

I used to OWN my own homestuck rp servers that hosted 60+ people most days. I used to host homestuck cosplay events. I have been told by homestuck fans that having a breastmilk kink is pedophilia. I have been told liking homestuck trolls sexually is amoral. Ive argued every intricacy of MCU lore you can possibly think of. I was there for Loki season 1 when Twitter was still called twitter. i used to write onceler fanfic on tumblr dot com in 2012.

Not my circus, not my monkeys, but I can smell the popcorn butter and cotton candy a mile away

Week 3: Tumblr’s Digital Ghosts: The Haunting of Internet Culture 👻 The internet never really forgets. Tumblr, the chaotic, unhinged, and deeply influential platform that ruled the 2010s, might not be the giant it once was—but its ghosts are still lurking everywhere. If you’ve ever scrolled TikTok and thought, this feels weirdly like 2014 Tumblr, you’re not alone.

🕸 1. Tumblr: Dead But Never Gone

Tumblr didn’t die; it just dispersed. The 2018 NSFW ban sent users fleeing, but instead of vanishing, they scattered across the internet, carrying Tumblr culture with them.

Dark Academia, Weirdcore, Cottagecore, Y2K nostalgia? Tumblr made those aesthetics mainstream.

The lowercase irony, the hyper-specific memes, the “I had fun once, it was awful” humor? Tumblr did it first.

Shitposting discourse on Twitter/X? Tumblr invented it.

The current TikTok obsession with “girl internet” and “boy internet”? That’s just a rebranded Tumblr-era debate about what kind of fandom kid you were.

📍 Tumblr’s DNA is everywhere—you just have to know where to look.

🧳 2. Where Did the Tumblr Kids Go?

The Great Tumblr Migration led users to different corners of the internet:

TikTok → The closest thing to Tumblr 2.0. Weird humor, niche obsessions, and the same chaotic energy.

Reddit → Subreddits like r/tumblr and r/196 feel like a parallel Tumblr universe where the memes never stopped.

Discord → Tumblr-style fandom discussions just moved to private servers.

Twitter/X → The discourse lives on, just with more rage and less pastel.

Nugent (2020) once said, “TikTok is just peak Tumblr,” and honestly? He was right.

💀 3. Can You Kill a Platform’s Culture?

Short answer: No. Long answer: Tumblr might not be the center of internet culture anymore, but it is the ghost in the machine. Just like MySpace before it, Tumblr’s influence is too deep to erase. The way we talk, the memes we share, even the way platforms prioritize niche content—it all traces back to Tumblr.

Remember when Tumblr’s messy moderation led to a weird anti-censorship movement? Pilipets & Paasonen (2022) argue that we’re seeing echoes of that today, especially on platforms like Twitter/X. The digital cycle repeats itself.

🎭 4. The Return of Tumblr Core Aesthetic?

Something wild is happening:

People who never used Tumblr are now nostalgic for its “golden era” (???)

Posts like “I was never on Tumblr but I miss it” are going viral

Tumblr’s Sexyman Phenomenon is BACK (The Onceler, Sans Undertale, Reigen Arataka… why do we keep doing this to ourselves?)

TikTok is full of Poor Little Meow Meows again

Tumblr isn’t dead—it’s just wearing a different outfit.

📢 5. Tumblr Language: The Vernacular That Won’t Die

Keller (2019) coined the term platform vernacular to describe how different platforms develop their own style of communication. Tumblr’s language—lowcase irony, self-referential humor, aesthetic-based storytelling—is still alive and thriving:

📌 Evidence of Tumblr vernacular’s continued existence:

TikTok captions & text posts? Tumblr humor.

Twitter/X fandom discourse? Tumblr arguments, just angrier.

Pinterest & Instagram reels? Reviving Tumblr’s aesthetic-driven content.

📍 Tumblr was never just a platform—it was an entire way of speaking online, and that influence is still shaping digital culture today.

✨ Final Thoughts: Did Tumblr Really Disappear?

The ghosts of Tumblr are still with us, floating between platforms, shaping the way we communicate, interact, and meme. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, why does this feel so Tumblr?—that’s because it is.

So… were you a Tumblr Kid? Do you feel like we’re all just living in Tumblr’s long, weird afterlife? Let’s talk. 💬👇

Helloooo! 2023 brought a new generation to the Onceler fandom, including me. I was too young to be in the fandom back in 2021 :,) I've been in the fandom for over 3 months now, and something that always interested me was the old askblogs. I always wanted to read them, but I only ever got my hands on one :( it's called LQ-ler, I believe. All other ones are either archived, either deleted, Im guessing? Very sad. Do you have any idea why that is? Thanks in advance < 3 have a great day!

I hope you've been enjoying the fandom! As for your question, I talked a little about it here: [link] but you can also try adding "-blog" at the end of the username to see if that makes the blog appear. For example instead of miru667.tumblr.com you would try miru667-blog.tumblr.com

Inactive blogs get archived by tumblr that way to free up urls.

Cosmic TV (Changing Channels)

by Random_Inked_Thoughts Heimerdinger is twirling his mustache anxiously, his foot tapping against the top of the tree stump he’s standing on. When he speaks, his voice is pointedly measured. “Viktor, my boy, I speak for the trees. And that… thneed is a thing that no creature needs.” The yordle gestures vehemently at the cascading cloth Viktor is gripping in his other hand, bright pink fluff making his skin look waxy.   Next to him, Jayce can hear his version of Viktor choke on nothing. “What is that absolute monstrosity of a garment?” --- OR: Jayce and Viktor are channel surfing in their cosmic afterlife and stumble across a reality where their alternate selves create thneeds instead of hexcores, and Heimerdinger speaks for the trees.

So guess who got free fanart of @jamoncrumbs visual novel. Oh and if anyone wants to know what the background & original looks like here it is:

Yeah I uh… Changed maybe more than I should’ve… Atleast I got away with completely destroying the composition :)

[truffulacore]

Wait, why do you want to delete dreampop, what happened ToT

it was mostly bc I wanted to make a separate blog for something but I already have way too many blogs and all my emails were already being used and I was thinking like. I don't really do anything with dreampop anymore + he never really got much interaction so I just reused the email from his blog lol

I guess it's also I've not really been that involved with the askblog fandom since like june and all my ideas for dreampop were kind of trapped by the thought of like "this needs to be somewhat onceler related" even though technically my actual onceler obsession ended in 2021 lol. but yeah now he's free from his onceler origins I have so much more ideas for him, which I guess meant I probably wasn't gonna need to use his blog anymore rip

but dw I haven't fully deleted him, all his posts are still saved here: @dreampopler (both from his main and camp weehawken blogs) bc after basing my whole personality on wishing swag and bitter's tflu blogs still existed, I would be such a hypocrite for deleting my own askblog without saving it skdhsjd

(btw thanks for everyone who ever spoke to him he had fun lol)
