Well then

[zenolalia]

I've closed my tabs and logged out of tumblr for what I suppose will be the last time.

I spent a decade on that site. It was my news, my social life, and my fandom hub.

Probably, I gave more of myself to it than I should have, really. But in return, I got so many things that I can't imagine finding anywhere else.

I don't know what I feel.

But, it is the dawn of a new day.


(The joke: it's the middle of the night in my time zone)

[i'm gonna miss that trash heap. there were good times and bad times, and heck, the sudden disruption to the substandard-service-as-usual certainly got me brave enough to jump into the shallow end of the fandom pool afresh, say hello to people who had too big an audience and make sure i got some off-tumblr contact details for some good friends. there's always loss to subcultures when platforms evict us like this, so i'm doing my best to look for the little gains ]

That's a good attitude. I wish I were better at maintaining it, myself.

I mean, as much as the mechanics of tumblr allowed for truly spectacular crossovers and the creation of a whole new style of roleplay (both of which are hugely important to me, emotionally), I have to say, I'm already remembering what it was like to be able to, you know, control who interacts with you.

And I've missed that more than I realized.

[not being a social person, im not at risk of losing community links and social archives. i can imagine the cohesion a lot of people got from tumblr would be harder to lose ]
