Tumblr—Fandom, Art, Chaos

Welcome back to the wonderfully weird world of Tumblr: your new haven and home to your next favorite artist. Dive into a sea of effervescent digital paintings, spanning every fandom imaginable. Stick around for the awe-inspiring original works by those very artists. In between, soak up the old internet energy, a smorgasbord of fandoms, and enough memes to humorously overpower a moderately-sized mammal. Feel free to contribute or simply scroll through and absorb the vibe.

Every piece of life-altering art you encounter, every mesmerizing waterfall GIF, every poignant quote you share, and every curated tag—that's all you. Reblog these treasures to showcase your personality and passions. You're the explorer here, navigating the ever-expanding map that the Tumblr community continuously crafts. Welcome home—make it uniquely yours.

Artists, you're entering a community eager to embrace your work. Consider Tumblr your digital studio, offering multiple avenues: a portfolio showcasing your creations with built-in social interaction, or an online sketchpad for brainstorming, sharing drafts, and receiving feedback. Accept commissions, participate in themed art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust. Delve into discussions about your favorite tools and techniques. Craft original character art for beloved Tumblr writers. Sell prints, coasters, mugs, and other merchandise through our Artist Alley to an audience passionate about your work. Or launch your own webcomic—think Heartstopper, which began its journey right here.

Now, imagine all these possibilities, accessible on the go. That's the essence of Tumblr.

Chances are, if you've seen something captivating elsewhere, it likely originated here. That unforgettable digital painting, that insightful text post breaking down something you never knew you needed to understand—your dashboard will weave these into a rich tapestry of your interests. Whether you're posting, silently liking, or reblogging to your personal digital scrapbook, you'll find a ready-made community waiting for you.

When you have something to express—a passionate take on astrology, a Barbie fanfic, or an irresistible photo of your turtle Harold—you can share it through photos, videos, or text posts. Record your thoughts in an audio post or share your current favorite song via Spotify. We even offer a pre-set chat post for your witty incorrect quotes.

Reblogging sparks conversations, fosters humor, and keeps them going—sometimes transcending global boundaries and enduring over time. Your contributions can reach anywhere in our vibrant digital sphere, with options for post-level reblog controls, private blogs, and private posts.

Tumblr is the epicenter of fandom. We all have that one cherished character from our favorite shows. You'll find fanart to admire, reblog, and perhaps even create and share with fellow enthusiasts. Engage with your favorite fan fiction writers from AO3, view their original character art on Tumblr, and delve into lore discussions. Whether it's Pokémon, Marvel, Kpop, Supernatural, Minecraft, Star Wars, or Doctor Who—it's all here.

This is a vast universe waiting for you. If the idea of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels overwhelming, visit tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com guides you through Tumblr etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.

So, sign up, fall in love with some art, follow tags that intrigue you, and carve out your space on the dashboard. Then, reblog, like, and post to your heart's content. Or simply meander through the dream you've built for yourself—you're the master of this realm.
