ahaha once again i think it's funny how mutuals work on tumblr and how ppl will literally follow each other to the grave. i checked last night bc i was curious and half of my muts are former magi blogs and none of us have made content for magi in years and yet i can still look at a url or a name if they've changed handles n be like oh!! magi mut!!! hell yeah!!!!

also i think it's funny that so many of us have more common interests now. whether this is by osmosis or Unwanted Exposure That Grows On You or w/e it's cute n cool to see that there's still common ground after all this time.

#and then there are the mutuals you don't even recognize anymore but like hell r u gonna unfollow them #i had a convo w lexie late last year abt pksp mutuals #specifically the gfx+colorers content creators #and how most of us are so unrecognizable these days but if you told me a name n an old handle #i could easily say 'oh ye i knew that person back in 2014' and might be able to distinguish who they are in present #on the other side i reconnected w a couple spe ppl that live on twt now and completely forgot that they had a tumblr/i had interacted #w them before #which is cool like there's a certain aspect talking w someone you haven't thought of in years #and still having an easy camaraderie that's jus so fulfilling #maybe it's a human experience but i rly love making friends on the internet n never rly having them go away #like ok another example #i have at least 2 mutuals who i have known online since before i had a tumblr #n we stay connected albeit in a hands off sort of way THRU tumblr now #like that's crazy to think abt. ppl i have known for over 10yrs #and not in an acquaintance way like!! one of them we used to schedule thru 16+ hr time zone differences #to watch anime together n then talk abt it after #and i swear if rab.bit or screenshare was a thing i had known abt back then it wouldve been so much more fun #alas like aaaaaaaa idk the romanticism of internet friends that will always have a place in your heart #it rly gets me sometimes
