The infamous tumblr crash of December 12, 2012, is the day when tumblr was down for hours with no warning. Lots of "MY FEELS" and "ALKAFELFJAFJEWLAKJKA" resulted from this. People believe this is really the end of the world, because it happened on a triple date. Some also think that it was also another social experiment conducted by Cole Sprouse.
Sometime in the near future:

-Hey Liz, what are you doing?
-Nothing. I think there might be another tumblr crash of 12/12/12 going on. What will I do with my life? MY FEELS.

an article, essay, editorial, etc. remembered years after you saw it on your tumblr dashboard. These stories, often highlighting a cultural or societal issue, must be taken with a grain of salt due to their questionable validity, accuracy, and truthfulness.
In the 1980s, a Japanese girl was kidnapped, tortured, and raped by four of her schoolmates. After a few weeks, the girl died from her injuries, and the boys weren't charged with any crimes. This is a tumblr story because the details highlight sexism and rape culture, but whether or not the story is true is unclear.

Back in the day before pornographic content was banned from tumblr there was the greatest porn of all time. Anyone who‘s gen z, kinky and has parental issues was most likely raised by it. The content on tumblr majorly differed from other platforms as it offered a lot more for the bdsm community. The comfort that one can get from a bdsm relationship lured in tons of teens. Besides that the platform was full of posts supporting anorexia and self harm which it why even though it may have seemed comforting it most likely damaged you.
In conclusion: If you got on the tumblr trend in the early 2010s you‘re most likely bisexual, kinky and depressed now. Now you either have no sex drive at all or you‘re an addict. Chances are high you follow Dannypahntom.exe, Birlap_ or Brandonthelover on TikTok. Oh and you most likely have horrible body dysmorphia because of the unrealistic beauty standards on there. And you didn’t peak in highschool. (i dont make the rules) You probably prefer wattpad, fake scenarios, Twitter and Hentaihaven over pornhub and you still use pinterest or even tumblr to search up shit that includes “aesthetic”.
bonus points if you write in all lowercase, own stuffed animals or a maid costume and use <3; :); :D
if this sounds like your s/o please learn about non-sexual domination/submission and get a mirror in front of your bed - thanks in advance
example 1:

person 1: “everything on the hub makes me cringe for some reason, i spend ages scrolling to find something good”
person 2: “i miss the old tumblr, never failed to satisfy me”
example 2:
person 1: “do you remember og tumblr?”
person 2: “isn’t that where anorexic girls used to post pics in shorts with depressing quotes?”
person 1: “so what you’re saying is; you’re a vanilla?”

A position in which you sit on your lazy ass for around 13 hours and scroll your dash/ reblog pictures. There is no escape from this position. Sorry.
"Man, I've been stuck in the tumblr position for a day and a half now."
"That's unfortunate."
