Tumblr: home to your new favorite artist

Come for the effervescent digital paintings in every flavor of fandom

Stay for the breathtaking original offerings of those same artists

And, in between all the art: Old internet energy

All the fandoms you could wish for

Enough memes to knock out a moderately-sized mammal

Add to it or simply scroll through and soak it up.

Every piece of life-changing art you discover, every waterfall GIF you gaze at in wonder, every quote you reblog, every tag you curate—that’s all you

Reblog them to show the world who you are, what you love

You’re the explorer

We’re just a map you all keep on making

Welcome home

Make it yours.

If you’re an artist, you’re coming in hot to a community that will love your work

Think of this as your online studio with many options: A portfolio, your calling card for your creations with in-built social engagement and community, or an online drawing board, a place to hash out ideas, share sketches, and gather feedback

Take requests and commissions or join art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust

Discuss the finer points of your favorite brushes

Create OC art for your favorite writers on Tumblr

Sell prints (coasters! mugs! tchotchkes!) of your work—to an audience invested in you and actively seeking these things via our Artist Alley

Create a webcomic (have you heard of Heartstopper? Started here.)

Now picture all of the above, but on the go

That’s what this is.

-

Chances are if you’ve seen it elsewhere, it probably started here

That digital painting you can’t stop thinking about

That text post explaining the exquisite specifics of something you never realized you needed to know

Your dashboard will become a tapestry of all the wonderful, nonsensical, fantastical things you like

Whether you post, lurk in likes, or reblog to your personal online fridge

Whatever your community, you’ll find a ready-made home here.

When you have something to say—a hot take on the finer points of a Virgo moon, Barbie fanfic, an image of your turtle Harold that you simply *have* to share with the world: Shoot your shot with a photo, a video, or a text post

Make an audio post of your ramblings or share your current favorite song via Spotify

We even have a pre-set chat post for all your incorrect quotes.

The reblog starts conversations for everyone, creates jokes, and continues them—sometimes across the world and over the years

Time and space, right here at your very fingertips

Whatever you choose to send into our effervescent digital ether, know that it can, and will, go anywhere. (Unless, of course, you use our post-level reblog controls

Private blog? Private post? All possible here).

Tumblr is the home of fandom

We’ve all got that one special blorbo from our shows

There’s fanart you’ll want to stare at, reblog, stare at again—or create yourself, and share with the community

You can read your favorite ficcers from ao3 *and* see their OC art on Tumblr *and* discuss the finer points of lore with them

Pokémon? Got it

Marvel? Here

Kpop? Check

Supernatural? Of course

Minecraft? Ready and waiting

Star Wars? Yes! Doctor Who? Doctor YOU! You get the idea: it’s all here.

It’s a whole universe out here

If the prospect of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels a little daunting, head over to tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will take you through the finer points of Tumblr etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.

So

Sign up, fall in love with some art, follow some tags, and find your place on the dashboard

Then reblog, like, and post to your heart’s content

Or simply drift through the dream you’ve created for yourself—you hold the keys to this kingdom.
