This is too good. :)
Remus: hey, why aren’t koalas considered bears?
Sirius: because they don’t have the right koalafications
Remus: no you dumb piece of shit, it’s because they’re marsupials
Sirius, muttering: the one time I think he’s trying to tell a joke I get it wrong, fucking-
Oh my goddess

If I were to give any advice to a former twitter user (aka new tumblr user) it’d be:
Stay anonymous. Use a nickname or something ESPECIALLY if you’re a youngin’
Turn off public likes/following in settings.
Say nice things in the tags when u reblog art/writing/edits/gifs/etc. because every op (original poster) reads those and it makes their day
Block any corporate account you come across (this excludes small business, please support them if you like their work!)
Also block celebrities! You wanna follow what they’re doing? Go to their Instagram. This platform is one of the last places where we can be ourselves and not monetize our interests. We like it that way.
You can organize your blog! Use [#tags like this,] without the brackets to keep track of aesthetics you like or funny posts! It’s also nice if you wanna have a well kept blog for people to enjoy and look through your organized blog.
There are tumblr holidays and you’ll learn to love them <3 they’re silly and tbh it’s this community made culture that really makes this place special
There are a lot of millennials on here that are so sweet and amazing and they post about their interests and skills in their fields like history, cooking, art, science, etc. They’re a lot more friendly than the tiktok millennials that tried to start beef with teenagers. Be nice to them.
Follow @neil-gaiman he’s the coolest one here!!
Tumblr isn’t really what it used to be, like what it’s unflatteringly famous for… it’s pretty calm and fun here on most days. A lot of us are grown and know better than to start fights. (It’s not perfect obvi but it’s alright)
If you see an amazing resource that it’s best to not share, DON’T TALK ABOUT IT ON TIKTOK. That’s how we lost the library website. Appreciate these treasures. Don’t use them for an hour of internet clout on the worlds worst app.
Reblog stuff!! That’s how posts stay alive a decade after the op posted it. It’s still good and we love a chuckle and the nostalgia if you’re old enough to remember it

Sirius: Why isn't the statue smirking at me? Lily: It isn't smirking at anyone, they're all just imagining it. James: Three of us saw it, Lily. How do you explain that? Lily: *points at James* Sleep deprivation. *points at Regulus* Paranoia. *points at Peter* Delusional personality disorder.
The exact same thing happened to fanfiction.net and Tumblr. So many people quit. AO3 is one of the very few platforms creators have.
Censorship does not solve any problem. It does harm to creators.
Edit: the results are out, Tiffany G. did not win. Thank you to everybody who helped spread this.
If you’d like to be educated on why censorship won’t solve any problem, I made a post explaining why, here.
Oooo
😎😎🥵🥵👏👏😈
As someone who comes from this background, I completely agree. It’s just amazing.
there are two types of children who come out of abusive homes. Sirius and Regulus are them, that’s why they are always at odds.
Sirius knows how precious sleep is, he can sleep anywhere anytime at the drop of a hat
Regulus can’t let himself sleep. Even safe and alone he feels so uncomfortable and can’t sleep until his eyes droop and he can’t fight anymore
Sirius’ rage turns hot and passionate, an angry fire blazing
Regulus’ rage turns cold and calculate, concentrated into fine points of cruelty
Sirius feels everything all too much, consuming all of him until he cannot feel himself anymore
Regulus feels so little that he cannot navigate his own emotions, and when he feels something strong it consumes every part of him
Sirius begs for contact and touch with everyone he knows, to confirm they are there, and to soothe him
Regulus’ skin pricks when he is touched, no matter how much he loves them. He can’t handle close proximity
Sirius hides his pain with a smile
Regulus hides behind dead eyes
and yet they are still, two scared and traumatised boys, hiding.
they hid in that house, and they hide now, with the people they love most.
because that’s the Black brothers. they hide.
because they don’t know how to be found.
but they’re begging
they are begging to be found.
I’m know I’m not the first person to say this, but any newbies on tumblr really need to understand how different this is from a lot of other social media. Particularly tiktok.
I just saw a creator on tiktok reminding followers that it’s actually a problem when someone goes back to the earliest post and watches all the posts chronologically, liking and commenting along the way. The stupid app recognizes it as spam or something and then kinda puts a halt on their account? Literally punishing people for positive engagement?? 🥴🤦♀️
I’ve already heard people saying years back how they don’t want to be “creepy” and go through a persons blog, liking and reblogging tons of stuff. But think how many more people are going to be worried about it now, thinking they might do actual damage! Most people, especially younger people, are so used to the way tiktok works now. So please, do not ever worry about this on here. Just remember-
