#tumblr anniversary

[choochooboss]

Happy Tumbrl anniversary to me ahah! This is an old WIP from July 2022 i never finished because the 4th page punchline didn't work out and lost motivation. I gave it a little glow up and decided to post it at last! I hope you enjoy it!

This comic was inspired by this fun and cute Emmet vs Elesa comic @spectra-bear did! This could serve as a silly prelude to it ahah!

Today is the sixteenth anniversary of my first Tumblr post. To mark the day, here are a few of my favorite shots from the past year. To those who insist on following, thank you! Your interest in my photography is a wonder and a joy to me, for which I am deeply grateful.

10 YEARS ON TUMBLR!!! WOOO!!!

Damn I've been here a long time... Wanted to do a silly little celebration piece with a few of my sonas/ main characters.

Based on the Arona meme lmao

First proper go at animating in CSP too! Was hard, but I'm learning more and more (:

Thanks for sticking with me so long... and especially thanks to the Kirby community for bringing some life back into this blog!

Cos I did have a few years of down time/ inactivity, but Kirby really turned it all around 🥺love you guys 🧡

today is December 2, 2024.

that means this account has been here for five years.

half a decade.

WOW.

when i started this account, i was a 16-year-old high school senior needing an outlet to be weird with other weird people. my home life was incredibly stressful, but at least my dad was still alive. i was contemplating having to figure out what to do for the rest of my life, believing i might never truly be fulfilled. i hadn’t really lived yet.

now i’m 21. i’ve lived through a pandemic, graduated high school, lost my father and had to deal (or not) with the grief, moved away from everyone i’d ever known on my own, slowly started to build my own life, struggled a lot, started embracing, however hesitantly, who i am, and learned that i can in fact do what i love and be what i want to be—and what i hadn’t realized i wanted.

i’m nowhere near finished exploring.

over a thousand of you have decided to go on this journey with me, and i have no idea why you did, but i’m grateful. i love y’all dearly.

and perhaps, a bit of perspective to wrap it up: on my first day on this blog, i reblogged a photoset of maria callas as medea. today, five years to the day later, is the first day of rehearsals for a production i am in, onstage, in real life, of the euripides play.

so here’s to the next five years and all the exploration and weirdness and joy to come. and to all of you. love you. 🫶

Got a notice from Tumblr today that I changed the name of my blog from shenshen77 to obishenshenobi ten years ago today! Which means that @crazy4orcas was writing her first fic back then, ran into a snag and asked for my help.

"Help me, Obi-Shenshen-obi, you're my only hope!" I wasn't, there were so many people who loved her and were always happy to help, but it felt like a big honor to be the first person she asked. She'd been a great beta reader for my own fics, and it felt great to return the favor.

Anyway, happy birthday to Obishenshenobi, and happy remembering Kim day. My apartment is filled with little trinkets she sent me over the years, and I miss her every time I see all the little Clints and Natashas ���️

It's my anniversary today.

So yea.

[pommigranite]

On this day exactly one year ago, I posted my first ever art piece on tumblr. There was no way I could’ve possibly known that 2023 would be an insane year for me (both positive and negative), and there's no way I could list out everyone that has helped me or inspired me to grow and be better.

So. If you see this. Thank you. Thank you for the love, for the support, for the advice, for the inspiration. Thank you, for being you.

If I had gotten the 6666 milestone I'd have made something ngl

Thank you all. This blog turned 5 today and seeing all of you come out of your corners each time I post some new cc is always a delight. Dropping a new set feels like I'm feeding a hoard of cowplants.

The stars tell me you'll be finding good fortune this Simblreen.

It's my 11-year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Not the best time to have a tumblrversary, since I've barely had time to be on Tumblr lately, but congratulations to me anyway, I guess. 😊🎂🎉🎈

[choochooboss]

I... don't know how I managed to post two of my drafts by accident lmao

I'M GLAD YOU ENJOY THEM AHAHAH!

ANYWAYS! I had another thing in mind for today but this shall do for now because

Today is my 2nd anniversary on Tumbrl! Yippie!!🎉🎉

I am still not a very natural Tumbrl citizen and I have a massive project sitting here: reblogging and tagging all your awesome submas works I've enjoyed!! I even have a separate account for reblogging too but you know the bad habit of scrolling too fast? I want to change that and give more love for your hard work and cool ideas!!

OH ALSO!! I READ EVERY SINGLE TAG!! I LOVE THEM AND I RETURN TO READ THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN (even though I still prefer comments more so I can actually REPLY to them, I want to talk art/submas with you guys aaaaa-) I hope I can drop some creative tags back at you later!!

Back to the first topic, I was actually planning to share some of my submas headcanons today! But I realised I got plenty to talk about so I plan to split them into a couple of topics, such as:

- The twin's personalities

- The job of a Subway Boss

- Submas team's personalities

- Submas daily life/outside work

- Submas history & friends

I'll set up a poll in a bit so you can help me decide where I should start!

I got a nice haul of art and WIPs waiting in my drafts and drive/Procreate folders I want to get to share with you soon!! Very glad you've enjoyed your stay at my station and I hope to keep bringing you thrills and joy for a good long while!! All aboard!!

Today marks my 12th anniversary on Tumblr. Many thanks to those who follow me here and especially to those of you who choose to start your morning with my posts. You are my motivation!

🎻Send me a song 🎻 Later Never Comes

(from the Scrooge Soundtrack)

I was obsessed with this song when it came out! Gosh it really gets to all the feels. For this one, I have debated between Sherlock, Dr. Strange and Anthony Bridgerton. I decided, it's Bridgerton time.

Later Never Meant I'd Stop Loving You

This is my first time giving it a go with Anthony but I hope you're up for some sadness and angst. Also reader is afab and I hope the blurb makes sense, I tried my best. I'm slowly chipping away at all these anniversary asks. Thank you again for the support!

When we first met, Your heart was free. Your hopeful eyes saw only me. Now you're looking for something, something I can never be, when you are really all I need.

Alright so it might be that Anthony Bridgerton at the start was set up for failure in previous relationships before he met Kate, the love of his life and you were not an exception in this.

You thought things with him would progress, yet with the demands of his title getting in the way, the bitter truth of it all crawls in the back of your mind and you know you can only become what you imagined was a fantasy. It was a fantasy of desire, of different circumstances. Others warned you the price of falling for a Bridgerton, but you never expected it to be so cruel, a hot iron searing through you, the strands of fate pulling you apart.

You keep on telling me "later" but "later" never comes around. Please stop telling me "later" as you search for what just can't be found

You fiddled with your ring, the cacophonous noises of the Bridgerton household pulling you from one more blissful sleep - it wasn't meant to be. The months of him pushing you away, the neglect, the familial duties, he never seemed to care as much as he did before the engagement. You were sure he even noticed you. You can't remember the last time you felt his hand in yours, his soft caress. You mumbled incoherently to yourself; your decision made for you. Your heart called you home to another place, another avenue far from here.

You kept looking for something, a measure of security, but she was really all you'd need. You kept on telling her "later" but "later" never comes around. Please stop telling her "later" stop searching for what can't be found.

Anthony paced back and forth in his study when a knock sounded. "Not now!" He breathed slowly, hands trembling at the note he held in one hand, the other gripping the ring you once wore.

"Darling, you've barely eaten any of your meals today!" Violets' voice sounded from behind the door.

"Not hungry mother, busy with the accounts!" Anthony turned, his stomach a flutter, knots forming at where you could be. The paper on the desk taunted him, the last words he'd possibly ever read from you.

It's for the best, my dear. I didn't know how else to say goodbye. I wish you the best and hope you find the love you deserve and more. ~ Yours in another time

Take her hand, go with her now and you'll fly free. No more "later", we both know that's a lie. This will be the day she says goodbye.

After the third time knocking, Violet bursts in to the door, met with the sight of her eldest boy, crumbling a piece of paper into the empty hearth, the dying embers reminiscent of all he lost. "It's over mother, do you think there's any hope for me?"

"Dearest, there is." Violet smiled, while Anthony leaned down to peck her cheek and she ruffled his unruly hair. "Don't despair, but you do need to learn to manage your duties better so this never happens again do you understand? She was a lovely fiancée and you forgot how wonderous she was and took her for granted. Don't make that same mistake again. Love and love fiercely and make time for your partner."

Anthony sighed, knowing she spoke truth, wanting only the best for him and his siblings. "Of course mother."

Tumblr is VERY Piscean and I think it’s absolutely beautiful.

Today I woke up thinking about how Tumblr has been the only website out there where I can share longer writings of mine and get them noticed and appreciated by merely including hashtags. The niche as a writer that I am falling into is extremely unconventional- it’s vulnerable personal accounts of my life, contextualized by astrology that naturally most want to come from me. And I am very grateful for anyone who resonates with my frequency and appreciates my messages, because I know I’m basically out here trauma dumping😂, and to happen across other people who are here for both that and astrology, is surely a rarity!

I was feeling grateful enough for Tumblr this morning to get the idea to look up when this site was launched. I was curious just what were the open-minded dynamics, so accepting of emotional vulnerability, that characterize Tumblr. To my pleasant surprise, Google informed me that Tumblr was launched at the very beginning of Pisces Season- meaning that it’s just about to have its birthday.

But that wasn’t all. Tumblr’s conception chart (with time unknown, but at least city known) is likely the most Piscean chart I have personally ever seen. 💖 Every single personal planet except Mars is in Pisces (and maybe it’s a good thing Mars didn’t join this party😂). All this Piscean energy seems to create a realm where I can find others as if I’m divinely guided by the Universal spirit which connects us all.

There’s vast yet connected territory here, because Pisces is the very undercurrent that runs through all of society. It’s the 12th and final sign, so it holds a little understanding of them all. 💧

Pisces holds so much power, it just holds it graciously. And often inconspicuously.

Pisces also explains why I was just realizing I see so many emojis included in informative astro Tumblr posts, compared to other sites. I’d been wondering if Cancer had a hand in this somehow (I myself am a Cancer Mercury, and please don’t ask me to not include emojis in my writing😂). But Pisces really makes a lot of sense too. Both Cancer and Pisces energy want to show expression in emotional terms… and emojis are so good for that. ❤️

And jeez, Tumblr still has relevance after seventeen years?! What other social media sites can you manage to say that about?? 🤔 This really shows the fluid and mutable ability of Pisces to adapt.

The Moon and Venus in Pisces in Tumblr’s conception chart really create an expression of Pisces energy that’s especially accepting and open to emotional vulnerability. And personally, they are trine my Moon in Scorpio, explaining even more why Tumblr-ites can stomach any sharing of my trauma. 😂 As if that wasn’t beautiful enough, the Pisces Sun in this chart is on my Pisces ascendant. No wonder I feel this is the only site I’ve so far found that gives me and my writing a place to shine. 🌞

Mercury retrograde in Pisces could be seen by some as indicative of a site where not the most comprehensively informative nor practical writing is shared. But I see it as indicative of a site where writing that makes people reflect on their emotions, grow their imagination, and even feel open to the web of Spirit connecting us all, is shared. I’ve long been fascinated and often admired a Mercury in “detriment” because it brings Jupiter’s realm up into Mercury’s realm; merging areas that can relate to the concepts of “left brain” and “right brain”, sometimes in amazing ways. And Mercury retrograde just gives us more opportunities for inward reflection. I love that posts can stay relevant here for ages, as we keep coming back to reflect upon them.

Jupiter is at home in Sagittarius in Tumblr’s profoundly Piscean conception chart, and aspecting some of those Pisces placements, so I think you can say this chart is extremely Jupiterian in every way. Personally, I’m so here for the expansive energy. 🏹 There are many ways to grow your philosophies hanging around on this site.

And I should mention that Uranus is also with the group of powerful forces for love and oneness hanging out in Pisces, because this is a revolution.

Thanks to the North Node also in Pisces in Tumblr’s chart, lending extra forward motion to this whole movement, I’d say exploring Jupiter territory, most colored by the loving, accepting, and spirit-recognizing side of Jupiter that is Pisces, is a perfectly appropriate direction for this site to only go deeper in.

Happy Birthday (tomorrow), Tumblr! Thanks for providing a meeting ground for beautiful, inclusive souls who can learn from each other.

Ooohh yeah, the Ides of March, the March with the Ides

The Senate said “I am the Senate” and just Senate’d all over the place

“E tu Brute” meets “bro what if we held hands and kissed while stabbing Caesar in the middle of the Senate?”

The event kickstarted by Aya
