i feel like one of the most intimate things you can do with a person is give them your tumblr. especially if they arent someone you know well cuz whatever they see will probably influence how they see you from then on. they will see your embarrassing fanfiction. they will see your crappy fanart. they will see your stupid little incorrcet quotes. and the best part is if they dont judge you for it. like showing someone all of the most embarrassing parts of you and them still accepting you and loving you
