Microblog - Tumblr Posts
This is my first post!!! I like to write, draw and read stuff. So, I can try writing for BNHA, Hellsing, Overwatch, Undertale (lol) and maybe some other anime too! Just ask!!!
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your people.

“I hope you give me a warning when you get married.”
My whole brain and body shot up in the car seat. His mother peered at us through the rearview mirror as she drove.
He grinned. “How much time do you need?”
“At least two years,” Her voice was half serious, half joking. Through her accent and broken english, I noticed a sincerity there– as if she was pleading, get married one day Son, por favor.
His grin was wide and genuine unlike his picture smiles, he told his mom, “Alright, I’ll let you know.”
I laughed, and we all laughed. His mom laughed because she wanted him to marry, and me because I knew he might never marry, and never to me. But he smiled a bright smile that killed me inside. I wanted to say this, to say, “I can’t picture you getting married.” Truth be told it’s locked in my dreams: flashes of our church– which was not very church shaped– all decked out in floral arrangements, and us at the altar, his father– the pastor– officiating. I think, how delusional of me? I wish I had said it then, in the car, but maybe it would've spoiled the moment of laughter, or the little bit of hope in my heart that he wouldn't mind being married to me.
Hey so I have also asked this question before but as a result of taking a communications class this semester, I now know a devastating fact for all twitter users: twitter is, according to my communications textbook, a website of the Exact Same Genre as tumblr!
Sounds unrealistic, I know, but you know how tumblr is a blogging website? Well, specifically, it's technically a microblogging website. A microblog, according to my textbook, is basically a normal blog, except that "the format and technology encourage shorter posts and content." Sounds like tumblr to me. Even if we do have long posts (like this one is becoming), a shorter format is more encouraged.
Side note, the name "tumblr" apparently comes from "tumblelogs," an earlier term for microblogs. So yeah, it's definitely microblogging.
Now that we've established that tumblr is a microblogging website, have this direct quote from my textbook:
"Today, perhaps the most popular microblog is Twitter"
And here's a picture, in case you don't believe me:
(It does also list tumblr specifically as a microblog as well, in case you were worried.)
So that's why. Because tumblr and twitter are the same exact kind of website.
Also, I should note that any "status update" feature is microblogging too. My textbook is very informational <3
(textbook used is Converging Media 6th edition by John V Pavilk and Shawn McIntosh, info referenced is on pages 200-201)
So.... Twitter users might be migrating to Tumblr. Time to show them who's alpha.
Why are they comin here why
