I love going on tumblr and being slapped in the face with some obscure meme that appears out of nowhere overnight, and then you don’t really learn what it means or where it comes from, and maybe you don’t fully understand it, but you just kinda have to play along

Okay so let’s do another poll because I forgot to add half of tumblr history in the last one

i absolutely love that tumblr’s new obsession with goncharov came just in time for the end of dracula daily. now maybe in a year or two we’ll start seeing emails from our good friend koshalev mikailovich who was the journalist narrator of the original novel and tragically played such a minimal role in the film.

"oh containment breach the goncharov meme is dead" cowards. its dead when i Say its dead. i want a full score and an amateur short film before the day is up. i am genuinely invested in this fake movie. if goncharov (1973) has a million fans i am one of them. if goncharov has one fan it is me. if the world is against goncharov then i am against the world. if goncharov has no fans i am no longer on this earth. i want to see those old men f

the thing about blorbos is they're really moorish. just having one is never enough. it's like. one potato, two potato, three potato, four. five potato, six potato, seven potATOMORE BLORBOS. more more more pathetic/evil middle aged men and babygirls and gorgeous kickass women and sublime af gnc fuckers, y'know? MORE PLS NOMNOM

i love you goncharov i love you loss of identity as a theme i love you becoming nothing more than your archetype i love you destroying yourself for the role you must take up i love you death of the individual in pursuit of becoming what you think you're supposed to be i love you martyring yourself while you're still breathing

really is interesting also how tumblr claims to support creators but steals people's posts and jokes to sell at a profit on their store without asking permission or paying them a single cent

Hi hello hi. Why didn’t anyone tell me Al Pacino played a gay man robbing a bank so his partner can have gender reassignment surgery in Dog Day Afternoon (1975). This is vital information why was I never informed of this.

alright whICH one of you classic-action-film buffs has been keeping the line “if we really were in love, you wouldn’t have missed” to yourself and away from all shipping and fandom culture this wHOLE time.

LIKE??? The rAW angst potential of applying this quote to my favorite depressed blorbos???? And I’m only finding out about it in this the year of our lord 2022????? dis gust ang

I feel like the fans of goncharov would like bioshock, it’s a good game with a great setting and I feel like you guys would like a lot of the characters.

relationship between the instant popularity of goncharov and the way that people will literally participate in fandoms where they either have genuinely never consumed canon or dislike canon enough to actively change and reinterpret it to fit their specific interests. people just like talking about their opinions and feeling like they’re right, the actual source content does not matter to the point that it does not even have to exist in the first place. we treat media not as storytelling with intrinsic value but as a prompt for projection, viral memes, talking points, shipping and fanfiction. and a means to feel included in a community.

and this isn’t black and white i’m not saying finding community in shared media interests or writing/reading fanfic or meming classic lit or whatever is bad. it’s not. it’s fun. i regularly participate in it. and fandom does generate a decent amount of critical media analysis and consumption (usually driven by marginalized voices irritated that important themes are being overlooked in favor of gay blorbos but i digress). i am also guilty of ending up as like, a fan of the idea of a media than the thing itself. but i still think it’s really important that we take a self aware step back and look at the way that online fandom practices have fundamentally changed a lot of people’s default mode of interacting with media

love how Tumblr cycled through blorbo from my shows to blorbo from my emails to blorbo from our knockoff shoe label turned mass hallucination
