i don’t know the official day i started using tumblr (my very first account has long since been lost to the sands of time after being overrun by cobwebs) but after digging through my emails i know i’ve been here since at least May 23rd of 2020 and though that’s not nearly as long as other people, it feels like an eternity.

Happy (late) four year tumblr anniversary to me, it truly has felt i’ve been here so much longer and i love how engrained this place is in my heart

unless the site is burned to the ground with nothing left i’m pretty sure i’ll never leave <3 (despite the fact there are still problems here)

#kiwi shares their thoughts #i don’t know why i’m so sentimental all of a sudden about this #but truly you have no idea (or maybe you do if you’ve been here since a young age and stayed) how big a part tumblr has played in my life #i didn’t get here because of covid but it coincidentally lined up with when the pandemic hit the US #so the timing of it kinda worked out really well #i’d discovered ✨ wattpad ✨ and the joys of fanfic a little before lockdown was declared #can’t be more than a month before that it feels #and subsequently found tumblr after having to go out foraging to scrounge for more daminette fics #i accidentally stumbled into maribat while on wattpad and joined tumblr when i found more fics for it on here #and from tumblr i discovered the joys of ao3 (bye wattpad)#funny thing but later down the line #i realized i’d used(?) tumblr way before creating an account #i dont remember when but previously id stumbled into both the scarlet lady comics and the “i love a dork” comics #as well as just being exposed to a lot of screenshots of various fandom related tumblr incorrect quotes through google images #and i used to be obsessed with different popular disney princess tumblr posts #i think i used to google “disney princes funny tumblr” or something like that to find them #and my friends in 4th or 5th grade exposed me to an artist on tumblr (not that any of us knew the tumblr part) who i actually follow now #we’d literally just google their user name with like “black cat” or “art” or something and then go to the image tab #that artists art has been my school account profile picture for YEARS now #i think at the time we didn’t realize it was one artist though #at least i didn’t #the username was so unique that i just thought it was an art style #anyways the reason i think maybe i’m being super sentimental is that my bday is coming up #(it’s on the 11th)#and it feels like the age i’m turning is a big milestone #maybe not a HUGE milestone #but it’s the age i would always put when games or websites would ask for my age and i would lie 🥺#oof big rant #i think i have a tag for that #kiwi’s tag tangents
