#defunct blogs

[juliets-roller-derby-awesomeness]

here are my other blogs by the way:

@shitty-goose-quack : main blog, i made it like 6 years ago but now it's just kinda the dumping ground for stuff that doesn't fit on my other blogs

@private(no touchy) : personal unlisted blog (not the real url) for osdid and archiving and stuff

@emoassbitch69 : [defunct] alter blog for nigel

@shitty-goose-quack2 : [defunct] old spam i think??

@iliketurtlesxyz : [defunct] not the exact url bc i don't remember it but another spam

@shitty-art-quack : art blog i made and haven't posted on in like 2 years, it was supposed to be multimedia i think??

@tellthemhowihopetheyshouted : taylor swift blog 1, i think it has more followers than the next one, i used to spam gifsets and gaylor theories, then i got embarrassed about the gaylor stuff and now it's basically a dumping ground again

@lipssoscarlett : for some reason not tagging but it's active ish, as in i haven't deleted it. theres like some corner of the system that believes in/interacts with/thinks about gaylor and jamie (she/her, former/dorment/fused/gone alter) pushed them out of ts blog 1 i think?? so that one was just supposed to be for the gaylor pe(ople)(rson) but either they don't front or they don't blog very much anymore so ???

@juliets-roller-derby-awesomeness : by far my favorite desperate the fact that i don't know what im supposed to post here. i started this in like july and it's the baby of the group. the intention was to make it super organized and tag everything, which i did, i have a goddamn episode master post and if i post anything about an episode i tag it and im so proud of that, but then i started watching new girl

it makes me feel bad when i have ""too many"" blogs, it's not an exact number but when i look at them i think like ew i need to delete some so i don't make new blogs for a thing for a while because if i stop liking it then i just have a thing i don't post on but i can't delete cause ill lose everything and what if i get interested again

so i started posting ng stuff on here and i only tag it with characters and not very well so either i need to stop or change my pinned post and it stresses me out; but otherwise i like this blog a lot it has by far the most mutuals and responses and it feels much more part of a community than anything else i do on here

Is the faq link in your description supposed to go somewhere or is its presence and the fact that it just brings you to the top of the blog some sort of oblique joke

works for me on desktop and mobile! if fsr it doesn't work for you, go to your browser and type in "https://catcrumb.tumblr.com/faq" for many answers to many questions

I am still on a break. I have a question about demographics of the people who read this blog. As a person posting this, I cannot check who voted for what.

[filisleftmustachebraid]

It always amazes me when I log back into this account to still see activity on 10 year old posts!

Is there a new generation discovering The Hobbit movies? Or is there just still a lot of love for Fili?

i love u sharkudablr of transcript and archiving fame normalising alt text + writing IDs + putting out transcripts + recording fun moments on broadcasts and the shradio which will be lost to time + tagging them niceys <3 and one day when we’re gone and new fans go digging through our blogs for primers and media they’ll find beautiful links and dates and other such sources and may even see that our blogs are the ONLY records of these events they will NOT bleed out of their eyes and gnash their teeth even a little bit about where we sourced our shmedia <- typing from the trenches of broken articles and unsourced media

I'm going to send you lame hater anons about how you're 'ruining your blog theme'

“I love my girlfriend, Katya, who’s a very good artist. Because we both are creative people, we’re able to talk about the many similarities we share, although there are aspects that are very different for both of us, but we’re trying to understand what those are. I think it’s true when people say that actors only know what it’s like being an actor, and I’m sure the same goes for every medium.

Katya gave me great strength which helped me be able to do Nitram. I haven’t had too many jobs where I’ve been in a relationship at the same time, and this is the longest relationship I have ever been in. Knowing Katya was there and loved me and would be there when I came back, allowed me to be more fearless and explore aspects of playing Nitram that I wouldn’t have if I was alone, like normal. It allowed me to go into territory that I maybe wouldn’t have otherwise, because I would have been afraid of how people would see me, because I was so self-conscious. I felt more freedom, just knowing that this love was there for me.”

one of the things i love abt the phandom is our time honored tradition of excavating decades old art or posts. it's the appreciation of what was always here and what will continue to be here

What do you think you add? Do you think you make a poignant post better when after scrolling down through it we see someone saying it's "official"?

I'm choosing to interpret this ask as a genuine question (albeit one that's been worded a bit rudely) instead of a hate anon, because I wouldn't want to tarnish people's dashboards with hate anons.

Now, to answer your genuine question... The "Discworld Heritage Post" tagline I add to the end of posts has as much validity as I have authority to bestow it: none. Do I think my tagline makes posts better? Of course not! And I certainly don't think I make them official, (and neither my url or my pinned post claim that I do so).

I don't know what reasons other people had to start their own Heritage Posts blogs for other fandoms, but I will gladly tell you mine: I got into Discworld. I discovered the Discworld fandom in Tumblr. And, one day, while scrolling down some Discworld related tags, the idea just popped into my head. After checking that there wasn't a Discworld Heritage Posts blog already, I decided to make one.

I personally follow a few Heritage Posts blogs, and my reason to do so is probably the same as to why many people follow this blog: I wanted to see that kind of content. Tracking tags and being up to date on the most popular posts of a fandom is doable, but doing so for the dozens upon dozens of media I'm into is impossible, so I like to follow some Heritage Posts blogs to get some of those posts directly into my dashboard (it's also worth mentioning that sometimes, some iconic posts are made when people comment stuff on them, and those don't appear in the search tags, so following blogs that post about a certain fandom is the best way to come across some of those collaborative posts, because otherwise you'd rarely get to see them). So yes, I created a blog that, had it already existed, I would have liked to follow. Also, while other blogs with this gimmick usually limit themselves to reblogging, let's call them the "greatest hits", I've said since the beginning that I didn't care about how many notes something had. Be it cool art or a funny or insightful post, if I like it, I send it to my drafts.

However, none of those reasons are the main reason why I made this blog. The main reason is that I did it for myself. After exhausting all the content that showed up in the Popular Posts tab, I couldn't help but think of all the gold and treasure that wasn't there, buried and hidden due to the way Tumblr's search engine works. If you're familiar with the Discworld concept of "lies-to-children", that's what the "top posts of all time" is in Tumblr. A 20k post from 2016 will not be there, but a six month old post with 400 notes will show up. Surely there had been amazing Discworld posts and art posted in 2015 and 2013, but I wasn't going to find most of them unless I expressly went looking for them. And this blog was the perfect excuse to do so. As of replying to this ask, there's nearly 600 posts sitting in my drafts, and if I didn't have this blog I would have never discovered 90% of them. And those are the ones I've seen. I still have dozens of places I haven't searched.

I know that if I reblog a month old post with over 2k notes, a lot of people in the fandom will have already seen it. However, a 2k notes post from 2014, or a drawing with 40 notes from 2012 is something that is less likely to have hit people's dashes recently, or at all. When you come across the "Discworld Heritage Post" tagline in a post, please don't picture me as an uppity monarch performing the Tumblr equivalent of a knighting ceremony, or a stuffy museum curator deigning a piece worthy of being included in an exhibition. Picture me as a kid enthusiastically jumping and flailing my arms around while yelling "holy shit guys check out what I just found!!", because that's how I feel running this blog.

Ultimately, whether one of my posts does better or worse is indifferent to me, because they aren't my posts, or memes, or drawings. I'm just the intermediary. That being said, of course it's not indifferent to me, because more engagement means that was a post many people hadn't seen before, or had forgotten about, and one of my goals was to run a blog that would allow people to find those hidden or long forgotten gems.

When all is said and done, Heritage Post blogs are just another one of Tumblr's gimmicks. If we're not your cup of tea, you're free to ignore or block us. If you want to reblog something and don't want the tagline, you can reblog it directly from OP (or from another reblog if OP has deactivated their account).
