29th Musing: Tumblr Types

RLN:
So, I am far more positive than last post! It helps that I had in an audition in which I didn't leave feeling terribly or sort of "down" about. (I think the acting went quite well, though my voice was dreadful. However, I think they considered the fact that I lost my voice a few days ago. At least, I got into it and acted while I was singing though and that's pretty important, right?
Anyways, currently listening to: the Nutcracker Suite Op.71 :)
RLN over.

As I peruse tumblr obsessively, I've noticed that there are five distinct types of people who go on tumblr and I'll list the specimens here:

The Artists: comes in two subgenres--the Writers and the Photographers who post artsy stuff made to express themselves and/or inspire others, pretty self-explanatory

 The Intense Ones: people with all the feelings. Their posts will probably depress you. Some accurately represent life's trials and tribulations while others may be a bit melodramatic for your taste. Somehow people tend to be 500 times more emotional on tumblr than anywhere else.

The Fans: comes in two subgenres--Fandom Worshippers (99%) and Celebrity Worshippers (1%). Many are crazy and rabid, so caution is advised when approaching. However, if you're going through an obsessive phase, going through pages upon pages of said obsession can be quite gratifying.

The Activists: Once again, these posts may depress you. Oftentimes, they have an important message, other times it's "like this post to spread awareness" which is better than doing nothing, I guess--at least they're still spreading the message, while others are a bit extreme.

The Floaters: People like me who go on there and usually reblog instead of posting. (However I might be edging into the Fandom Worshippers XD). Their blog page consists of whatever strikes their fancy and they don't really get sucked into it even though they might spend two hours just scrolling through Avengers or Kingdom Hearts gifs.

Well, that's what I came up with, but if you have any more, tell me!

  1. I bet you've got some firsthand experience being a rabid Loki fangirl. Now I know what you do in your free time. It certainly adds to watching you through your window...

    1. hahahaha! watching me through my window? picking up lessons from my mom then?
      ok and I am not rabid--rabid is like those stalker girls that hacked his facebook and harassed his ex-girlfriend(s?)

  2. HaHA! Don't forget the meme creators. I like to go on Tumblr myself, most to look for internet memes though or just expression gifs. Gifs work so well to portray how I feel. XD
