One of my favourite fake tumblr posts is the one that simply reads "i just ate some delicious ravioli. no i didnt. do u see how easily lies can be spread on the internet?"
Lol. Sounds beautiful
That's what gets me. I feel like often people will assume a story is fake just because it's really odd and seems unlikely, but there have been times where people have told me I'm making something up for that reason when I was telling the truth. So I definitely hesitate to assume anything is a lie. But at the same time. Anything COULD be a lie, no matter how believable. I generally just shrug and say "maybe it's true, maybe it's false" unless it's something that is either 1) impossible or 2) has indisputable proof
@@Jenloveshergoatsit’s not up to you to decide whether stories online are true. Just don’t believe everything you read and take it all with a grain of salt, while simultaneously enjoying it for what it is- entertainment. Don’t worry about it
Similar to "stop taking everything on social media so seriously. 🐓🚗 look at the chicken. It is bigger than the car"
YALL!!!! So I put ‘strange aeons’ as my name in Starbucks and the barista yelled ‘SOMEONE WITH TASTE?!?’ And I said ‘YESS! THATS ME!’ And then everyone around me started to applaud. Omg 😭😭

just a tip for history lovers: NEVER GET YOUR FACTS FROM TUMBLR
what do you mean mysperion is real
As a history major, always double check if it's true especially if it's on social media
Took me five seconds to undertand that the only mentions of ''women's shelters in ancient Greece'' are from tumblr. Can't understand why at least three different people asked me about it as it was mentioned anywhere else
@person person always trust the one source of truth, pukicho
There are still people who think everyone who studies egyptology is part of a conspiracy to whitewash egyptian artifacts and that makes me die a little inside
as someone who has been going to catholic school the last 3 years, people shout CRISTO at the gay people with supernatural satan nails all the time this is totally legit
that’s exactly what i was thinking lmao i’ve heard and seen much weirder things from my classmates
I feel like the first bit feels totally legit but OP takes the last part just far enough that it seems like it's at the very least exaggerated for notes.
As far as fake stories go tho this one isn't particularly egregious
I go to Catholic boarding school, I was accused of planning to cause mass demonic possession because I’m into gemology and I have crystals (the worst part is: it’s all because of my PROTESTANT UNCLE who is a gemologist and got me into the subject lmao).

The idea that maybe somewhere in our timeline someone has definitely overheard a conversation about johnlock and thought it was about John Locke and left horrified. That makes me smile 😌

as a gay guy i agree with how weird it is tumblr is obsessed with gay ships its always felt horribly fetishy
@Just some guy On the internet Seriously, discovering yuri as a genre when I was a kid was such a weirdly traumatizing experience for me and I don't know how to explain it. Like, it was the only rep I had, but it also made my internalized homophobia worse?!
Especially when the guys clearly don’t have any chemistry
Man : looks at man
Tumblr : OMG UWU HOW CUTE UWU ITS A YAOI SEME UKE FANTASY SO SO CUTEEEE
And it's always girls who ship guys and it's always guys who ship girls. Definitely fetishey.
@@jalapeno1119 It's always Straight girls and Straight guys too, I'm mlm, and y'all don't hear me shipping random guys together.
and nowadays they try to be like "um, actually, we obsessively ship all these random men together because we're starved for ~representation~ sweaty, so like, you're the homophobe actually💅☕" like okay. but that doesn't change the fact that you're a *cishet woman* who exclusively ships gay male couples. like it's not even representation for you. if lgbt+ representation is what you care so much about, where are all your lesbian ships and trans headcanons?🤨
i miss the days when they'd just straight up call themselves fujoshis honestly. at least back then they essentially had a big red flag screaming "AVOID" in bold letters, rather than insidiously trying to pass themselves off as allies.
also about real person shipping- it not only fetishizes gay men, but also affects their personal lives a lot. if they ARE in a relationship, then congrats, you've made them scared to come out because "wE bEen kNEw" and makes them feel like they horribly failed at pretending to be straight. if they're actually straight, then congrats, they now feel insecure about their sexuality, and they're scared to tell the world they're straight in fear of backlash from these shippers.
also not to mention that this shipping affects their professional lives a lot. media speculation, pre-emptive homophobia, and management forcing them to distance themselves, which would severely affect their friendship with each other, and not to mention, arranging beards for them. plus, whether they're queer or straight, if the person either of them choose to date isn't each other, these same shippers go insane and attack the new partner.
like, ship fictional characters in a healthy way. at least you won't be ruining a real human being's life and interpersonal relationships that way.
"scared to come out as straight" as they should be fam
@@SnoFitzroy lmao
i would say its even ok to ship real people, as long as you dont go full crazy conspiracy theorist fujoshi about it yk? like most people i know who enjoy yter shipping are normal about it, they ship the youtuber personas or maybe even the real peope, though that is a slippery slope, but they dont think there is an actual relationship and they dont try to force any real relationship with the people because they are decent fucking people. people who have conspiracy theory shit to try and justify the ships or try to force it to be real need their brains checked. like those harry styles x who-the-fuck-ever shippers who come up with whole ass conspiracies and harrassed one of the real actual girlfriends of i think harry? need their brains checked for real that shit aint healthy
I don’t ship real people but ship people from tv shows and some happen to be gay is that fetishizing it’s like a “there a cute couple” or “they should be a couple”
RPF in general is... weird. Like, it's one thing to have, say, this Famous Person as part of a side plot, or your characters go to their performance, maybe even get backstage passes. It's another to, say, ship band members with each other, or with their band's mascot. (I've seen some things.)
Tbh I bet the cupcake one is real. Mom just mentions in passing "hey can you make some cupcakes for me" and kid with hyperfixation goes "hell yeah demon cupcakes" and oops! Church bakesale cupcakes, actually!
I'd do that, though I've never cared for supernatural
Honestly I would believe it if a specific friend of mine told me, her mom & sister & brother all really loved Supernatural, like wearing merch, buying the Pops, etc. And her mom is a big church goer but the kids are all agnostic/pagan. Plus they all have adhd so forgetting to mention what they're for or just not hearing/paying attention when told, yeah I could totally see it happening. I'm not saying I do believe the post, but it's actually plausible.
The only problem with this post is that I don't think it's possible to fit "Lucifer" on a cupcake, otherwise it's realistic
Иевлева Катя Why not? You could curve it around the edges easily enough.
@@user-yo4gt1wn5s I figured it was one letter per cupcake so they said "Lucifer" altogether when they were lined up

Honestly, as a goth, I’ve had so many weird interactions with Christians that the first one could almost be true. If it wasn’t for the obviously scripted dialogue I would believe it.

Someone confusing johnlock for john locke is such 10/10 meme material right here
I did in the last video. I thought they meant that the girl shipped John Locke with somebody in the paper. I was very confused how that would ever be a thing that would happen.

Tubby custard machine is a classic but it’s REALLY hard to beat the “down with cis bus”
I'm still waiting on my "Down with Cis" shirt
I'm so glad to see "bitch that's the tubby custard machine", it fills me with deepest joy. The only two posts on tumblr I can compare it to in that special place in my heart where I hang up all my favourite posts like masterpiece portraits are "spiders georg who lives in a cave" and "daddy's bastard - very strong"
cannot believe you're making me google daddy's bastard, but here we go
Edit: very relieved, that was so much less upsetting than I expected
The glorious, delicious nostalgia.
Spiders Georg is one I quote enough that it has spread to my younger cousins who weren't old enough for tumblr in its heyday.
i fucking love spiders georg
Spiders Georg is a trip down memory lane.
i quote spiders georg SO often
The idea of people on Tumblr making up facts about philosopher John Locke is better than what actual happened
As someone who went to Catholic school my whole life, my friend drew a pentagram on the desk then stabbed a nun and everyone was collectively like 'ok' and nothing else happened. I think he got a detention.
i think we ALL have a stabby run in with a nun /j
I don’t really care if people ship characters, but shipping real people makes me uncomfortable. The whole shipping 1D with each other was very uncomfortable to me since they were all pretty young, and their fan base was their age or younger.
I've actually been shipped with a coworker before and it was fucking obnoxious and embarrassing for both of us.
Don't ship real people, kids.
I agree.
It is kinda funny though that 1D has come out as bi, though.
The vibes were there and seen.
Yeah. She mentioned Dan and Phil and shipping is legit the reason that Dan was so scared to come out and honestly it makes me so ashamed of the fandom.
Also any Dan and Phil shippers who use the “wELL THEYRE ACTUALLY GAY AND DAN CONFIRMED THEY WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP AT SOME POINT”, my message to you is SHUT THE F*CK UP THAT DOESNT MAKE IT OKAY TO SEXUALLY HARASS THEM AND TRY TO OUT THEM YOU FREAKING BROKEN CRAYON SHARD
I completely agree only fictional character ships it is way to invasive to ship real live people

The first one sounds like the most annoying scene kid. I imagine that it actually did happen, just not at all how they think it did. Like they really did just stare at them aggressively and growl at them but didn’t have the social skills to understand it’s because they’re being weirdos, not because they think they’re a demon
yeah no if any of it happened everyone definitely just thought they’re a weird kid to keep away with a 10 foot pole

@@papapoyo19 lmao my best friend in high school was that girl, i tried so hard to reign her in bc she was a mess. She bit people
@@caitlinplays7456 i knew this girl named Kailey who was like that. She would always get in your face and yell at you, or try to bite you or hit you or something. One time she hit me in the nutts and was surprised when I was pissed.
Dead ass, I was in special classes and I still didn't know anyone who acted like her, lol.
@@papapoyo19 in middle school my friend and I ran around with our imaginary horses for longer than was probably normal but hey, we had been building this game up since we were like six so we had fun and eventually became more or less normal teenagers
The gay restaurant post is just??? It was “portrait of Reagan” that got me and then the massive police escalation at the end utter bamboozled me. This truly does feel like Oppa Homeless Style in its odd phrases and nonsensical progression

Sometimes I'm sad that I missed the prime years of tumblr, then I remember that people compare twitter now to tumblr then and I'm thankful for only hopping on to see the stragglers
Yeah - it's accurate. I unfollowed the beep out of that crowd though and just kept my shtposts though tbf
I miss Tumblr when it was still like that bit yeah Twitter is like that just worse somehow. I think it's easier to harass people on Twitter and it's harder to escape fandoms and people on there.
I've never been harassed ever on Tumblr just because I was decently smart about my tagging and keeping away from the overly crazy fandoms when it came to openly engaging with them.
Omg right???

"Is this domino's" started out pretty cute and I might even have believed it until Berenstein Cucumber showed up. Should've stopped while they were ahead.
You know though this is probably their maladaptive day dream that Sherlock Holmes makes them cool and saves them from their boring day at school
today at my catholic school i was watching dream x ranboo ship edits and quietly humming the lyrics to mask when the super christian girl came up to me and said "YOU SINNING DEMON. CHRIST WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS SIN. REPENT."
so i stood up in the middle of biology class and told her that love is love and she should respect gay people like destiel from supernatural and that jesus never existed! she ran out of the room crying and everyone began clapping, the national anthem played in the background but the lyric about trusting in god was changed to trusting in superwholock and the president came to congratulate me and announce that today was national vkook johnlock day
I'm not going to lie: I fastforwarded through the Cumberbath Pizza one because it went straight to superhell, and then everyone clapped.
Me too. No offense to Charley voicing it, but the content was such that I immediately started cringing so hard I was about to implode.
PK - Leave!!!
theres something weirdly funny to me about someone refering to a simple regular pentagram as "supernatural inspired nail art"
It seems important to mention that I've seen a Dan and Phil version of that 1D post on heritage posts before that was almost completely the same. The concept of "my parent has this degree and so this ship is real," is so overdone lmao
Tumblr version of "my uncle who works for Nintendo"

"Bitch, that's the tubby custard machine" still gets to me to this day. No matter how many times I see it, I just have to laugh.
I love how the second melon description says "it can *prevent* you from aging well into the hundreds"
This is a poison melon
I swear to god that "mechanically separated chicken" image is my fuckin hitman sleeper codeword. "Bitch that's tubby custard" lives in my head rent-free.
The johnlock thing reminds me of when my teacher was talking about John Locke and my friend goes, johnlock? like Sherlock johnlock? And I had to be like, no please. stop. not in class
also this kinda sounds like a fake story lol
No this sounds 100% legit to me
if it was a fake tumblr story you wouldnt have replied with "no please stop" but with "hell yea" and then started clapping and then the whole class would have started clapping and yall would have probably heard the sound of the tardis in the distance or whatever and then a thunder would have struck
Y’ALL i put “ranboo” as my name at starbucks and the barista called out “SOMEONE WITH TASTE???” and i said “YESSS! THAT’S ME!!” and then everyone around me started to sing “amoeba” omfg i’m crying 😭😭 /c
were you ordering... plain milk ?
this is somehow funnier thinking of amoeba by the adolescents
I don’t have good taste because idk what you’re talking about
Reminds me of a TikTok fake story where a girl mentions how much she loves Dream after some other girl is like "Dream bad" and then everyone clapped and the teacher sends the Dream hater to the guidance counselor or something
@@toxicminttea4130
that's literally the only song i know called amoeba
As a Texan, I have had some fake tumblr story level interactions with evangelical Christians, which I will proceed to tell in the fake tumblr story format.
First: When I was in middle school I admitted to a girl that I was an atheist and she started a rumor that I was a witch.
Then, this summer I noticed a man in the Hobby Lobby checkout line had a cat on his shoulder and said "oh my god a cat" to my friend, and he turned around and launched into this speech about how people say "oh my god" but they don't BELIEVE in the LORD and how he used to serve the devil but now he is saved. He implied that he could tell I didn't believe in god?? Just from looking at me? Which felt homophobic because I had pink hair with the sides shaved (I look very gay and so did my flannel-clad best friend who was with me serving nonbinary forest ranger.) He said some shit about my lifestyle. I felt like I was in a stupid PSA about ignorance.
So I'm just being polite and trying to exit this side quest somehow, get my discounted canvases and my bestie's embroidery floss and GTFO.
GUY IN "JESUS IS COMING" TEE SHIRT: you need to repent so that the lord can forgive your sins (etc etc)
MY SHY INTROVERT BEST FRIEND: hey dude can you fuck off??
GUY: this is a christian store i have a right to express my opinion
BESTIE: this is a craft store!!!
And then nobody clapped, we just left in a hurry and cried in the car ahaha.
Yeah, Hobby Lobby is a Christian craft store. Never noticed they're closed on Sundays, don't cover birth control in their employee insurance plans and have very gender stereotyped items for kids? I still browse on occasion though because they always have sales.
@@jalapeno1119 i always say i hate hobby lobby and then i end up shopping there bcuz no other store in my area has as large of a selection of art supplies lmao
“This is a Christian store? How much to buy a Christian”
i remember reading that first post in middle school and thinking she was soooo cool and wanting to be like her 😭😭😭
@S O F I A YALLL DONT CLICK THISSS!
i know its not what they meant but when they said "picture of reagan he keeps around the restaurant" but I immediately took it as like, he has a picture of ronald reagan that he rotates in different places around the restaurant, like sometimes its sitting on the counter and sometimes its hanging on the wall, maybe hiding behind a potted plant.
Also people definitely accused people of making up stories for clout. I remember posting a real story about when I worked at bath and body works and someone yelled at me because we didn't have a more "masculine" bag to put some man's gift in. (not really sure how blue and white plaid has gender but ok) and people immediately started clowning on me because they thought it was fake.
The Cristo satanic nails story actually doesn't sound that crazy. The last "update" is probably fake, but the first two parts could be totally legit.
I thought the same thing, I think OP got carried away seeing how popular the post was
Eh idk as someone who went to catholic school most people are generally pretty normal. Like the most I ever got was when a friend and I were talking about death metal and the girl behind us was like “isn’t that satanic stuff?” And we were like “nah not really. It can be tho.” And she was like “huh. Cool.” I was on tumblr constantly wishing to have my demon nails moment and it never came 😔
@@jacquelinewithac8668 Idk where you are, but in the American South, this story would fit right in at most public schools, let alone Catholic schools. People are crazy.
@@eldritchteletubby9319 I’m from Texas lmaooo maybe I just got really lucky having mostly normal people in my all girls catholic school and my boyfriend got lucky at his all boys catholic high school in the same Texas city. I do know how wild public school be tho

Teya reading that whole sentence in one breath, me panicking that her lung is going to collapse again
I've heard these stories like hundreds of times but somehow they still sound absolutely insane each time
@S O F I A What
Honestly I adored the One Direction post. The idea of someone pulling the "my dad owns Microsoft and he can get you banned" but with fucking One Direction shipping is incredibly iconic
17:20 K, in high-school I actually had a friend who submitted fanfiction to his 10th grade English teacher for a short story assignment. It was Lapis Lazuli X Peridot from Steven Universe.
Huge crazy plot twist!?: The teacher accepted it and graded him completely normally cause she had absolutely no idea what Steven Universe was, nor did she care about the characters beyond what was presented to her. He got a fairly good grade, think it was a B+ or smth.
In my (tenth grade I think?) English class once we would have wednesdays that would be reading days with some time at the end to fill out a short worksheet for thinking about, analyzing, etc. the book, and I didn’t bring a book with me one day and just read some legend of Zelda fanfiction and she was fine with it
Oh my fucking god 😭
One time I had a Girl Scout assignment for a creative writing badge where I had to write a 20 page short story. I ended up writing a Frozen fanfic. The best part is, my friend ended up writing a Shrek x Farquad fanfic. I wish I was making this up. I really do.
Honestly I’ve written fanfics for exams more times than I can count and I think imma do a davekat one tmmr but who knows
The real shame is knowyourmeme doesn't cover many Tumblr memes, thanks for doing God's works
At least it covered the legendary “my three weed smoking girlfriends”
These are singlehandedly keeping me going until Christmas holidays, thank you for your service Strange
Shipping real people always weirded me out.
I thought I had laughed a lot at the watermellon post additions, since I had never seen them before. But no, it was the ''person who wondered if Johnlock was John Locke'' that broke my composure.
About the third one-
Yeah no shipping real people is weird as hell. Don’t do that.
"bitch, that's the tubby custard machine" has been living in my head rent free ever since i first saw it
When you read the janitor playing jars of piss, i wasnt following the text so piss caught me off guard and i laughed so hard i spat on my phone a little
I once got a 100 on a sonnet about Johnlock but it was just bc it was structurally accurate. Like the teacher couldn’t have cared less. One kid wrote about cookies. I wish I’d written about cookies or something so I wouldn’t cringe every time I look back
Same thing except I used stuff from supernatural. Teacher didn’t care, it met the requirements of the assignment.
I also cringe looking back.
I once wrote an assignment in the style of Dr. Seuss just for shits and giggles. Got a decent grade, too.
Glad you went through the extra effort to wear historically accurate garb (a Welcome To Nightvale t-shirt)
Okay in regard to the flower-crown era of tumblr; I had a phase okay. Friend of mine made one for me, I wore it out in public once and a car full of girls did compliment me while we were crossing the street. Like looking back it was a stupid, silly, #extra thing but it did give me a much needed confidence boost in my journey of accepting not being straight. It was a wholesome, fun era celebrating being a soft boy.
dude same, i unironically wore mostly flower crowns and Lennon sunglasses outside of school and it actually made me more confident, as a trans man who spent years hiding it from my parent it made me realise expressing femininity doesn't invalidate gender
I still wear flower headbands/crowns in the summer. In the winter I wear a fuzzy wolf hat, complete with ears. It makes my day a little more fun.
That last one is hilarious, imagine judging someone for eating mcdonalds while in line at mcdonalds.
What makes me laugh about these stories is I was legit part of a story which ended in everyone on the bus clapping and how tf can I even take myself seriously telling that story
you can't just say that and not drop the story
Me too kinda lol, not an “everyone clapped” type of story but still sounding like a fake tumble story. A very traditional christian girl forgot who Alexander Hamilton was and asked my edgy friend group if he was an emo singer
My personal "everyone clapped" story was in marching band practice when a cloud covered the sun and everyone cheered because we were finally in the shade
the crazy part of the supernatural cupcake story is how OP managed to write a 7 letter word on a single cupcake
also my name is alexandria please respect my melon
I will forever randomly quote 'bitch that's the tubby custard machine' at every opportunity. That post formed me. I am so happy it's on one of these lists finally lmao
I feel like the first one almost could be real if they went to a catholic school tbh. I regularly got called a Satanist for wearing my witchy stuff. They're generally really sheltered and don't have great social skills (neither did I at the time but still).
Do you prune your basil regularly? The place you pinch it off sprouts TWO new sets of leaves, so it will literally multiply itself. Even if you don't want basil right at a particular moment, you can pinch off a few leaves, then watch your basil multiply.
Toss a couple basil leaves in a salad. Make a simple slaw or quick pickle with vinegar and various fresh thinly sliced veggies....
Someone: Does literally anything resembling a clapback at all
Tumblr: You're my hero!
I feel like I distinctly remember reading the Johnlock essay post. I need to find it. I refuse to believe it's not real
I work at a book store and need to share this with you: the twilight graphic novels are now officially "out of print" and considered really special and collectible and I would love it if you commented on them
oh god i have one of those they were so nice for no reason
My favorite thing is that 16000 yen is roughly around 155$ even in like 2010 the exchange rate hasn't changed too much
Just gonna take this moment to point out that someone with a major in a field isn't the same thing as someone with a *degree* in a field. Having a major and actually graduating aren't always mutually inclusive terms.
Also the field of psychology is really broad so it's more impressive the more specialized someone is in that area. So if the dad had a doctorate and specialized in relationship counseling, it'd be waaaaay more believable than someone who just took a freshman intro to psych class.
I feel like I had old tumblr through these videos even though I was never on it. Your videos let me live through history, thank you.
All of these were great but the Larry one just hit me in that part of my brain where cringe and nostalgia overlap
i enjoy the fact that everything in the super hell (derogatory) category has something to do with benedict cumberbatch
I feel like obsessive fans who go full conspiracy theorist over things like Larry should learn from the whole Dan and Phil thing. Cause they ARE gay, and were even in a relationship at one point. But they didn’t choose to come out because of the harassment from weirdos online, in fact all that was just harmful and extremely uncomfortable. Fans stating that they “know the truth” and how it’s “so obvious” wasn’t helpful, it was disrespectful and creepy. Plus more often then not it was just downright fetishizing. Basically what I’m trying to say is that if these fans actually cared about the celebrities they obsess over, they would leave them the fuck alone
4:22 Yeah! My absolute favorite one! "mEchANicAlLy SEpaRAteD cHICkEn" is pristine.
saw the thumbnail and immediately was like “TUBBY CUSTARD” idc if this video is good or bad i just want to talk about tubby custard post
okay so about researching the "hipster blog era" of tumblr, i've attempted this many many times. i get nostalgic sometimes because i, i was a hipster girlblogger. unfortunately i was super embarrassed about my high school years when i started art school, so i deleted my original tumblr account. i've looked into it several times, looking for old soft grunge/pastel goth what have you posts, but these kinda posts seem to be less well preserved than the 2010s fandom side of tumblr. so, please please please try this, because i hope you'll do a better job than i did.
also, about the whole fandom vs hipster tumblr war, i feel like that was only experienced by the fandom blogs? because i only learnt about this in hindsight, and never saw anyone post about it on my dash.
The Benedict Cumberbatch story brought back some horrid middle school memories for me XD I hated answering telemarketer phone calls but after reading a similar post to the Benedict story but for Markiplier, I would answer every call I got from LA California (〃'⊥'〃)
you just brought the memory of "mechanically separated chicken" back up from the darkest trenches of my brain
Post one isn’t that far-fetched when you sum it up as “teenager acts like weirdo in school, imagines others being really scared” at least until the pledge of allegiance rant part, that one stretches the imagination.
They should make a Beyond belief: fact or fiction tumblr edition
i think the physcology dad might be even worse than some girl trying to genuinely convince me that harry says "I'm in love with Lou" instead of "I'm in love with you" at the end of Little Things
The whole "and then everyone clapped" thing is so funny to me because my friends/entire class actually does it. Someone will say something incredibly dumb or hilarious at exactly the wrong moment (during a lecture, during a test, the moment the room just happens to go silent). Then everyone will applaud as my brain is just repeating the "and then everyone clapped" line.
I'm sure our teachers love us 😅
I still whisper "bitch that's the tubby custard machine" to myself at random times.
Regarding the moonmelon post: There is actually a real fruit that causes sour things to taste sweet and sweet things to be sour. In keeping with the post, its scientific name is _Synsepalum dulcificum_ , but it's more commonly called magic fruit, miracle fruit, miracle berry, or some other variation of this. There's some chemistry explaining how it does the flavor switch thing, but TBH I don't understand it enough to explain.
Here's the wikipedia article if you do wanna know more:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum
I’d also like to point out, on the Alexandrias melon, the native name “K’uhul ajaw cacao shi-jiiy” is a reference to Supernatural, from Season 8 episode 3
We’ve all heard of bisexual lighting, but this is lesbian lighting. Kudos
Love hearing you talk about the bad trip that tumblr was while I'm embroidering and crossstitching ☺✌🏻 your videos are always great to watch during stitching ☺
i would like to think that John Locke would've also shipped johnlock tbh, seeing as he's the founder of liberalism

man i was talking to my theatre professor once about writing and i was like (shamefully) "yeah...i have wattpad" and she was like "whats that?" and i to this day i wish i lived her blissfully ignorant life. case in point, teachers dont care about The Fandom™just hand in your schoolwork oh my god
Ahhh memories from my disturbing childhood… I was so elbow deep in the moon melon lore it was concerning🙇🏾♀️
There’s more?!?!???!!!!????
It took me too long to realize that Eon's shirt isn't a black t with purple stripes, but infact a purple eye printed in a square and the microfone foam ,which is the same color as the t-shirt, blocks the image
its a welcome to night vale shirt!
It's Strange, actually
The guy doing the voice that sounds like an impression of Reagan doing an Italian accent is just *chef’s kiss*
Thank you lol
The "bitch, that's the tubby custard machine" post remains one of my favorite Tumblr posts of all time.
i remember this one post from ye olden days that went something like?
person A: *tells an ambiguously fake story*
person B: omg that happened to me too haha
person A: no it didn't, i made this up for notes
the first time i read it i DIED and reblogged it but i've deleted my blog twice on a whim and i think the last time i saw it, it was compiled on reddit under r/kamakazebywords or similar
I remember this post! It was about OP supposedly being helped by a pink haired Walmart employee and they said “I know about your tumblr blog” and she blanched. Second response was someone saying “THAT WAS ME ASSHOLE” and OP responds “no it wasn’t I made this up for notes”
I hope Charley didn't suffer through the Benedict pizzabatch post too much
Not nearly as bad as the ones I read for the last video
I like to think that there’s an alternate timeline where all these stories are real. I would never under any circumstances want to go there, but it exists in my heart.
I hate that I’ve recognized every story from both these videos… I’ve been on tumblr way too long 😭
I vaguely remember ppl reminiscing over 07-10 era back in the day, and now we're reminiscing over this one. Love that
I’ll admit that as a young person on tumblr I believed most of not all of these 😔
It’s so weird to see Alexandria’s Genesis referenced as a Tumblr thing, I remember when that shit was making the rounds on LiveJournal and MySpace. Those freaking melons are amazing 10/10 internet content, tho.
