Oh Great Tumbling Sage, I have long sought out one of your ilk!

Tell me, should I, a humble gay, get into tumbler? It seems scary, but also fun. I saw what they did to poor John Green.

Tumblr is one of the gayest places on the internet. You should go for it. The etiquette is arcane and there is no algorithm to guide you, but so long as your shoelaces were stolen from the President and you enjoy getting important news via Supernatural memes, the community will embrace you with open arms.

Search some hastags that you like, follow some people that post stuff you like, and before long, seeing a 15 year old post cross your dashboard will be like seeing an old friend again.

How do I learn the arcane etiquette, though?

I recommend this primer video by Strange Æons, who also has tons of great videos on all kinds of Tumblr Icebergs and drama and all kinds of good stuff.

Thank you!

Also, frickin love your username!

Thanks, it was actually largely inspired by the vibe of Tumblr and people like Strange Æons when I made the account.

I live by the saying "become unmarketable" nowadays, and it seemed fitting to that vibe.
