perfection đ¤
the way you just defined me so fast
oh! đ
I fear my overlap percentage has called me out
Oh.....đŹđ Excuse me, I'll just, uh...scooch over here đŞ. Hi, I'm Uzi. I'm a recovering ex-2010's tumblr girlie đŤŁ
đŞIâm also sitting in this group. Haha Hi Uziđđź Iâm a recovering 2010âs Tumblr enby, happy to make your acquaintanceâ¤ď¸
Hello! There's enough room here for sure. I like your shoelaces, by the way đ¤
Iâm shocked that no one has complimented each others shoelaces yet. Maybe it was a phase after all
Well the thing is that line came from a time long long ago and nobody really wants shoelaces from this president...
I feel so called out đđđ like wym iâve read 4/5 of these books đđđ
you!!! you get it!! (what's the one you're missing?)
The Archive Undying (should i read it? đŤŁ)
I haven't read it but its definitely on my tbr. It was pitched to me as pacific rim fanfic with a twink for an mc đ
I loved it! But it's at a level of complicated rivalling gideon the ninth, just a warning
Highly recommend The Good Vampire's Guide to Blood and Boyfriends by Jamie D'Amato for this list/lovers of this list. I always love when I am reading and immediately feel the author and I may have been mutuals at some point.
I agree đââď¸
Oop! I've been found out :0
Omg called out đđđ
oof I feel so seen.
Best list name in PB đ
I would recc anything by Alexandra Rowland but especially Running Close to the Wind for this list hehe
noted!! ill check it out!
i think Alexandra Rowland is still on tumblr even to this day, i see them advertising their Hadrian-Antinoous book every so often đ though tbf idk how old their blog is (edited because i didn't know they used they/them pronouns)
They definitely are. I follow them!!!
I've never had a tumblr but I have 71% overlap with this list, what does that mean
(I think it just means that many of my friends and people who have parasocially influenced my reading tastes were/are on tumblr)
it would be funny if you did a little survey of your friend groups and there's a 71% overlap of them being on tumblr
Suggesting The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun! I always think of it to be in the same realm as RW&RB even if the plots are completely different. Gave me fanfic vibes in the best way.
if youâre looking for recommendations, i think both dayspring by anthony oliveira and canon by paige lewis could be great additions! dayspring is written in very tumblr purple prose, while canon reads like a tumblr shitpost in the absolute best possible way. thank you for this very specific list!
I believe John Green has said he spent a fair bit of time on tumblr!
This reminded me of the way tumblr users drove John Green away from tumblr back in the day đ
(for those who donât knowâtumblr used to let you edit anyoneâs posts when you reblogged them, so you could make anyone look like they said anything, and people were editing John Greenâs posts to say some unhinged NSFW stuff)
John Green has recently returned to tumblr, I think partially to market for Hollywood, Ending
this is the perfect list actually
Iâve literally just been looking at donât let the forest in fan art on tumblr đ
This list is immaculate, and I feel hella seen. I was 100% that SuperWhoLock (+ Tolkien) blogger𤣠And because I was a big Supernatural fan, I have a recommendation for this list that felt kind of like a SPN fanfic, in the best way. Even Though I Knew The Ending by C.L. Polk was a fantastic queer angel/demon noir mystery that hit so many of the delicious notes I loved in SPN.
Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall is the most tumblr author book iâve read and I ate that humor uuuppp
Book Recc: They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera
