Tumblr – Fandom, Art, Chaos for Android

11 things about Tumblr – Fandom, Art, Chaos

1. When you have something to say—a hot take on the finer points of a Virgo moon, Barbie fanfic, an image of your turtle Harold that you simply *have* to share with the world: Shoot your shot with a photo, a video, or a text post.

2. If the prospect of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels a little daunting, head over to tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will take you through the finer points of Tumblr etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.

3. Think of this as your online studio with many options: A portfolio, your calling card for your creations with in-built social engagement and community, or an online drawing board, a place to hash out ideas, share sketches, and gather feedback.

4. You can read your favorite ficcers from ao3 *and* see their OC art on Tumblr *and* discuss the finer points of lore with them.

5. There’s fanart you’ll want to stare at, reblog, stare at again—or create yourself, and share with the community.

6. Whether you post, lurk in likes, or reblog to your personal online fridge.

7. Make an audio post of your ramblings or share your current favorite song via Spotify.

8. Discuss the finer points of your favorite brushes.

9. The reblog starts conversations for everyone, creates jokes, and continues them—sometimes across the world and over the years.

10. Every piece of life-changing art you discover, every waterfall GIF you gaze at in wonder, every quote you reblog, every tag you curate—that’s all you.

11. If you’re an artist, you’re coming in hot to a community that will love your work.
