is there a word for a favourite series? similarly to blorbo

Not that i'm aware of at the moment, no. The closest i know of is "blorbo from my shows" like you said, but that focuses on a character and not the show itself. I could be entirely incorrect though! I'll have to look into it :]

Plinko Horse

Noun

A gif that was a popular meme on Tumblr circa 2022. The gif consisted of a plinko machine, where a soft-body physics horse was dropped from the top and slid through the machine. Usually, this was accompanied by a fire animation at the bottom, or flaming text at the top reading "Horse Plinko."

Sometimes, people would remake the animation, using their favorite fictional characters in place of the horse.

Live Slug Reaction

honestly i have no fucking clue how to categorize this one

A slug-like character from Star Wars was shown Immediately after the scene of actual canonical gay characters kissing, and was shown for far longer than the gay kiss was. So people put the slug over pictures of gay characters with the caption “Live Slug Reaction”

this meme has evolved into "Live ____ reaction"

Tumblrina

noun, modern definition

A reclaimed gender-neutral term for any user of Tumblr. Typically anyone who would be considered strange, but in a good way.

Noun, Derogatory, Historical definition

A term used to describe an annoying woman who uses Tumblr, and goes on unprovoked rants

Source(s) and other definitions under the cut // Content warning for possible Misogyny, Anti-SJW content, and appearance-shaming

Wikitionary: "(derogatory, Internet slang, neologism) A female user of the Tumblr microblogging service, typically stereotyped as a social justice warrior."

Urban Dictionary: "An often unattractive, butthurt, and obnoxious female user of the popular site Tumblr. Someone who complains all day on Tumblr about how oppressed they are by men, when 99% of ranting cases were provoked would be meaningless or of utmost minute significance to the average person."

Source(s) unclear

note: the reason I put it ass reclaimed, is due to the fact that while on tumblr, I've seen people of all identities describe themselves as "tumblrinas."

[the-unofficial-tvmblr-dictionary]

hey, tumblr user here, we use literally none of these

Hi! as a fellow Tumblr user i agree, these terms are indeed really silly, and not a lot of people here use all of them (not even ironically). BUT! i still think its important that we have information on these terms available!

there are lots of people coming in from other platforms who don't know what certain terms mean, and I think it's important that they know what these words mean if they're going to post here, even if the terms are silly or uncommon.

really sorry that my blog came across as (possibly) offensive! that was not at all my intention, and the point of this blog is purely for educational purposes.
