Dont Want To Go Back But It Was Fun - Tumblr Posts

does anyone who joined tumblr circa 2012ish remember pocket!aus. there was a pocket!au for like, every single fandom in existence. like it was a super super common fan trope and now I just never see it anywhere

context: pocket!aus are aus where a character is small enough to fit in a pocket, i.e. a tiny. this was a thing outside g/t circles, like obviously I had sizey mutuals into it, but it was very popular with people who weren’t otherwise into g/t. you’d refer to them as pocket!Character vs the term ‘tiny’, and there were plenty of askblogs themed around the concept.

it’s just super super interesting to me that for a brief period gt’ing your faves was a trend to people who didn’t otherwise know who g/t was. i miss it tbh
