Hello! Welcome! I hope you'll find it a good experience, and I'm glad you stopped by to chat. :D I don't always answer all the comments I get, but you're always welcome to comment on anything you see that you find interesting and have something to say. I definitely read them all!

But yeah, Tumblr is just ... it's really the only thing that does what Tumblr does, and I appreciate it for that! For one thing, it's really the only site I can think of where gifs are really a thing, not just as a one-off but as an actual primary art form. And they're such a great way to re-experience scenes from canon; I would miss them so much if they were gone. There's no other site I've ever been on that's quite like it.

(The fact that Tumblr got polls and immediately did something completely unique with them was absolutely fascinating to me, because there are many sites with polls, but the combination of polls + Tumblr's basically-unique-to-blogging-sites ability to totally divorce the polls from their original blog and context led to a whole bunch of polls being used in ways I have never seen polls used on Twitter or any other site, like the "design a recipe" or "build a dinosaur" polls. If Tumblr ever goes away, it will take something completely unique with it ...)
