GUESS WHAT?

it's the 10 YEAR anniversary of the most amazing event EVER! *explodes like a confetti cannon*

that's right, tumbeasts, Dashcon happened TEN YEARS ago!!!!!

if you're new here and don't know what that is, LET ME LEARN YOU A THING:

Dashcon was an event just for US. for the freaks, the weirdos, the fangirls. it had cosplayers and fanfic writers and a BALLPIT. And--

jesus, guys, sorry about that. something went wrong with my hybrid cloning/time machine.

ANYWAY. Dashcon happened 10 years ago this weekend and @overchers and I have episodes for this very occasion!

we talked to two brave Tumblr employees who were there:

and who also had amazing pictures to share, that we posted on the internet for the very first time!

and THEN we talked to Lochlan, the Tumblr user who started it all:

(transcripts for those episodes here and here)

so we've got dashcon coverage from both sides! get the inside scoop and relive the glory days.

eventually i think I will make a more coherent post but it is not this day! this day we reblog men of the west! (or people from wherever idk)

I just love how the difference between these images SO encapsulates the difference in vibe between SNW and TOS.

I’m genuinely sorry, glistening-tits-buff-Spock-with-manly-sleek-interior-design-choices-and-scantily-clad-bethrothed-in-background-who-you-rather-explicitly-raw-and-cheat-on, you could only attain the level of unadulterated cunt that is TOS Spock and his weird campy artifact-filled bedroom in your DREAMS.

We as a fandom are seriously missing some potential with revamping Reverse Falls. Like in hindsight the 2010s version was such a flop and mostly just a really weird excuse to write billdip make the twins hot—but WILLFORD?! Come ON.

Give Stanford the hubris of a supervillain and a gullible paranormal creature to study and abuse its power. THAT’S some compelling toxic yaoi right there.

“I’m anti cringe culture!”

are you cool with people shipping things you don’t like? Are you cool with people making fanfiction you don’t like? Are you cool with people making fanart you don’t like? Are you cool with canon x oc stuff? Are you cool with self-shippers? Are you cool with furries? Are you—

For the non-polish folks:

This completely random thing is an insane polish pick-up line, where you throw a chestnut at the person you like and then ask them if it's theirs (dw, i also have no idea how this came into being) (that's literally it) (there's no pun to it, no smart word play) (just. a chestnut.)
