Experience Tumblr Like Never Before

Not a real fan of flapper fashion, but at least I had an excuse to go wild with shiny stuff!😅
Results for my poll on Tumblr browsing preferences!
Here's a refresher of the poll. I asked everyone how they prefer to use Tumblr. Many thanks to the 95 awesome people who participated!
(Puts on technical writer's cap) I used glittering.world's Tumblr poll result grabber to get the exact numbers for each option. Since no one selected the last option, I excluded it from my analysis. I popped the results into Excel and made this pretty table and pie chart.
It's not too surprising to see that over half of the participants use the Tumblr app on their phones. Laptop users and phone users who browse Tumblr on their device browser have the second and third biggest numbers.
Here are two more breakdowns of the data! The next pie chart shows the number and percentage of people who use each device listed in the poll.
In case they're difficult to read, the numbers in the pie chart are listed as "Number, Percentage". As we've seen before, phones are very popular!
The last pie chart shows the number/percentage of Tumblr users who use the app (the most popular preference!) vs. a browser.
On an unrelated note, this poll was a great excuse to go aggressively girly with the color and styling of these charts! It was something I had always wanted to do for my college lab reports but ended up toning down to not shock anyone.😅
That's all I've got. Hope you enjoyed this micro stats report. El Droide out!

This is a bit more on the early-mid side of the 1910s.
This scene completely blew my mind when I first saw it. It was SO FREAKING COOL!!! Like, Marvel basically turned these Norse mythology characters into outer space Vikings who fly SPACESHIPS???
Dream Plane and I have soooooo many headcanons and plot bunnies revolving around Thor and Loki being pilots. It's such a cool concept to explore! Like, they would obviously have had flight training. How many flight hours do they have? Did they ever get into crazy scrapes during their cross-country (cross-realm?) solos? Did they have to learn stalls while flying within Asgard's atmosphere? Did they ever get to experience microgravity? How long does it take Thor (in normal circumstances) to familiarize himself with new spacecraft?? (dramatic gasp) What if Loki was a test pilot at some point??? (incoherent squeeing)

This is the first of some random outfits for every decade of the 20th century. I'll be posting one every week.
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
I apologize in advance for these cursed Journey Into Mystery cover edits.😅 Came up with the idea after visiting a space museum. I didn't know that there was a Loki rocket until then!

So, I'm back with another recreated comic fit. This is Namora in Sub-Mariner #29 (1948). It was impossible to find a dress from the 1940s that looked exactly like hers, so I ended up going with this sweet red dress from the 1950s. The earrings are also from the '50s, because I like those gleamy carnelians better than the 1940s bakelite earrings that came up in my search. Everything else is from the '40s.
Not my most period-accurate comic recreation, but given the year this issue was published, I guess it's close enough. :)

Sometimes if I'm feeling particularly ambitious with my virtual paper dolls, I recreate fits from various Marvel comics. Dream Plane requested Loki's disguise from Journey Into Mystery #85 (1962 iirc), so I did my best to bring it to life using authentic apparel from the 1960s.
Finding irl stuff that looks like their comic counterparts can be quite the challenge, so I was pleasantly surprised to find everything with the same general color scheme!
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
I've been throwing together random fits like this lately. No idea how many fashion rules I'm breaking in the process, but it's fun. Sometimes if the pics are the right angles, I also dress up a "mannequin" sketch in PowerPoint just to see how the dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. would look if I was wearing them. It's kinda like virtual paper dolls lol.
Anyway, I call this a flower fairy fit.
Why do Ancient Astronaut theorists act like Machu Picchu is thousands of years old? Like bro, Cristopher Columbus was born around the same time it was built. What are you gonna tell me next, that the Villa Medici in Fiesole, Italy was built by aliens?
And that's not even touching the racist undertones that surround ancient alien conspiracy theories. Ugh.
Dumb meme I made while reading the OG Captain America comics. What tags would you personally use for Cap?
Imagine you've just come home from a loooong day of work. You're dead tired, you're stressing out about that one deadline tomorrow, and you've got a flat tire to deal with. And then your golden retriever of a boyfriend calls to check in on you.
