#I’m reblogging this from my 2020 post which queues all the back to 2016???

[redpaperclub]

It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

----

Author's Note :

Well, I wasn’t expecting to see THIS pop-up on my screen while logging onto Tumblr for the first time in months … But since we’re on the subject, I might as well write down some of my thoughts regarding the infamous "tumblr dot com".

So, for starters …

Damn, it’s been 10 years huh. I remember first realizing that I’ve been on this website for a while now about two years ago when I calculated that I’ve been on this site for about eight years. I didn’t think much of it and kind of interpreted as a “frozen-in-time” type of situation. As in, I’ve stopped using this site a loooong time ago and don’t plan on browsing and/or posting on it anymore. But wouldn’t you know it, time is linear after all ! It just feels kind of weird to see ’10 years’ on the screen when it shouldn’t be but here we are.

I’m not really gonna dive too much into the Tumblr discourse and really just want to focus on a couple of main takeaways from my experience on this dumpster fire of a website. So apparently, I’ve been on this website for ten whole years and I completely missed the memo. I’m not surprised. Even though I wasn’t expecting this it still kind of sucks knowing that I didn’t get the chance to celebrate something I honestly wouldn’t mind attending lol. But whatever. I can always queue this post for a later date.

Let’s start from the beginning, shall we ?

I started this account back in October 2013 but didn’t start posting anything until January 2014 and I’m guessing those first couple of months were just me liking posts and getting the general feel of tumblr. I don’t remember much from those early years except for me unironically thinking that this is one of the best websites I’ve ever come across (and that opinion has remained largely unchanged even with all the bullshit over the years). Looking back at my old Tumblr account feels a bit surreal but it’s not the first time that I’ve taken a stroll down memory lane. I’ve actually looked back at archived posts in the past a few times and it’s such a nice little time capsule of such an awkward time in my life. I have a lot of fond memories of being on this site whether it be laughing my ass off over some meme/shitpost, reblogging some aesthetically pleasing pictures, or just being informed about the world around me. I even remember making a few original text posts with mild success (all in an effort to become “tumblr famous” lol).

I started posting less frequently sometime around 2016 and almost completely stopped towards the beginning of 2017 only to return almost three years later just before the pandemic started. I completely stopped using this site back in August 2020 for whatever reason (likely due to lack of interest altogether) and haven’t posted anything since.

Yet here I am ! Making one last post before archiving this blog for good.

But seriously though. I think getting this notification is just what I needed to make a proper departure from this hellhole of a site lol. And it’s better than just leaving it on some random post. Kind of wish I could talk about more things but I think a general overview feels better than something more specific anyway. It’ll make more sense if I ever decide to revisit this blog (which I likely won’t but whatever).

I suppose my main takeaway from this website has to be the general vibe of it. It’s one of the few places where you can post whatever you want without feeling intruded by the outside world. And sure, you could argue that many websites operate this way. But there’s something about it’s anonymous nature and bottom-of-the-barrel economics that has allowed me to enjoy Tumblr to the fullest extent. I’ve never had to worry about what I like or post—mostly due to lack of followers anyway—and I get to enjoy my little Internet shenanigans with peace of mind. It’s a nice little corner of the Internet that I got to enjoy. But now it’s time to close this chapter in my life (how dramatic lol) with, ironically, the longest text post I’ve ever written on here.

So yeah …

Thanks for the memories, Tumblr. You will be missed ❤️

@dykegoblins tagged me and therefore it is my duty to respond as quickly as possible to tag everyone first instead of getting tagged like 6 times

1. Why did you choose your url?:

It’s a quote from a BTDQ vid. One of Bob’s boyfriends like made a joke about being emotional but also That Bitch, and I think Bob responded “So you’re That Emotional Bitch.” And I just thought that was beautiful.

2. Any side blogs?:

Lol no

4. Do you have a queue tag?:

Lol no. I embrace the chaos of no one knowing if I’m online or not

I was borrreeeddddddddd and wanted to be social after like a year of lockdown. But like for OG reasons back in the day I think it was....... either for Harry Potter or Supernatural?

I LOATHE those SO SO SO MUCH. They make me so angry!!! Like how dare you threaten me so you can get notes?! Like bitch who do you think you are. I also refuse to reblog them because I would never subject any of my 385 followers to also being threatened.

16. Do you like tag games?:

Yes!

17. Do you like ask games?:

Yes! Tho I never do any because I don’t think I have enough followers who care about who the hell I actually am IRL to ask any ahahahah

[achillesmercury1996]

Tumblr Tag Game

Thanks for the tag @bowtiescarves I love these!

Why did you choose your url? Achilles for Song of Achilles and because I’m Greek, and Mercury for Freddie Mercury. 1996 is the year I was born. Very unoriginal.

Any sideblogs? Nah, fam, I don’t need more than one account on this hellsite. I used to have one way back in the day when I wanted an aesthetic blog, but now y’all get all that bundled up in one disaster, so enjoy!

How long have you been on Tumblr? Oh, yikes...I think I got my first blog back in 2012, kept that for a few years until like...2016? Then I deleted it entirely and didn’t make this one until 2019 or 2020. I can’t remember the exact year for that, but I was gone for a hot minute.

Do you have a queue tag? Fuck a queue. No.

Why did you start this blog? Back in the day (2012) it was because I had no friends who shared my Avengers fandom interests, and I needed the outlet. Also, it was a nice escape for teenage Megan, and I was very lonely. But THIS one specifically so I could see more fan art of my ships because Pinterest wasn’t cutting it. Tbh, this started as a Stony and Stormpilot blog, but yo, the Stony fandom is TOXIC. Then I saw IT: Chapter 2, and fell in love with Reddie, and y’all are MAGICAL and so wonderful! 

Why did you choose your icon? Well, when I made this blog back in 2019, that was the cutest picture of me at the time!

Why did you choose your header? Because the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is iconic and I wanna go back.

What's your post with the most notes? The one post with the gif from Parks and Rec that’s like, “I know this! And I love you.” about Bill yelling at Eddie about not doing anything when Richie almost died, and the gif is Richie’s reaction. Also the one where it’s like, “The Losers rolling up on Pennywise like” and then the picture from Spongebob like: “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!”

How many mutuals do you have? I genuinely have no idea...I have a few I interact with tho, and y’all slap

How many followers do you have? 145

How many people do you follow? 225

Have you ever made a shitpost? I make a ton of shit posts. Mainly the posts I make about how badly I want to be railed by Poe Dameron because I can’t post that shit on my Twitter without going to horny jail, and it’d probs upset the bf.

How often do you use Tumblr a day? Meh, at least once a day, but I’ll mainly just reblog some shit and dip.

Did you ever get into a fight with another blog? Nah, fam. I avoid conflict, and I don’t invest enough interest in this hellsite to give a fuck, ya dig?

How do you feel about the "you need to reblog this" posts? I usually don’t reblog them, because I don’t care.

Do you like tag games? Absolutely! I love them so much!

Do you like ask games? I dooooo! I love answering questions, but I never really get any so...I try to send some to my mutuals if they post them, tho!

Which of your mutuals do you think are Tumblr famous? Y’all are all famous in my own little world, don’t you worry! But I don’t think I have any tumblr famous mutuals.

Do you have a crush on a mutual? Nah, fam. I don’t date people from Tumblr anymore, hah!

I tag: @dearscone @stressedinadress @blueeyedrichie and anyone else who wants to do this, too!
