Oh My God I Open Tumblr To Check This Series And The First Thing I See Is The Anon Ask I Sent Kicking

Oh my god i open tumblr to check this series and the first thing i see is the anon ask i sent kicking off a mental breakdown for The Guy oh sweet jesus god.

Hey, Spamton.

I don't know how to word this without it coming off as possibly condescending, but...

Hang in there, man. If the heaven you're after is out there, im sure the angels are rooting for ya.

@bleedingbonemarrow + like four anons.

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

I haven't mentioned it on here yet, buuuut...

Yeah I also have an obsession with AHiT, which was recently rekindled when a friend mentioned they were replaying it. So, im back on the hat game now. Perhaps expect more of this. Sorry to those that stayed for Spamton, im a little burned out on him and im not sure why tbh.

"In Good Company"

Something something Tame Impala lyrics inspired me for this one. Yeah this took 13 hours, and i kinda got lazy with the background and ruined half the point of this whole thing, but yeah. Im not about to not post this.
