Tumblr—Fandom, Art, Chaos

Welcome back to the wonderfully weird world of Tumblr: the ultimate digital haven for your next favorite artist. Dive into a sea of effervescent digital paintings that span every fandom imaginable. Stay for the mesmerizing original works by those same artists. And amidst all the art, you'll find the old-school internet vibe, complete with all your favorite fandoms and enough memes to entertain a moderately-sized mammal. Whether you're adding to the mix or just scrolling and soaking it all in, Tumblr is the place to be.

Every piece of life-changing art you uncover, every mesmerizing waterfall GIF you can't look away from, every poignant quote you reblog, and every tag you meticulously curate—that's all you. Reblog them to showcase your personality and passions to the world. You're the explorer here, and Tumblr is just the map that you and countless others continue to create. Welcome home—make it uniquely yours.

If you're an artist, you're stepping into a community that's eager to embrace your work. Think of Tumblr as your online studio, offering you a plethora of options: a portfolio to showcase your creations, a calling card that builds social engagement and community, or an interactive drawing board where you can share sketches, brainstorm ideas, and receive feedback. Take on requests and commissions or participate in art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust. Delve into discussions about your favorite brushes, create original character art for your favorite writers, and sell prints (think coasters, mugs, and tchotchkes) through our Artist Alley to an audience that's already invested in your work. Or, start a webcomic—remember, Heartstopper began its journey right here on Tumblr.

Now, imagine all of this, but accessible on the go. That's the essence of Tumblr.

Chances are, if you've seen something amazing elsewhere, it likely originated here. That unforgettable digital painting, that insightful text post detailing the nuances of something you never knew you needed to know—all of it can be found on your Tumblr dashboard, a tapestry of the wonderful, nonsensical, and fantastical things you love. Whether you post, lurk in likes, or reblog to your personal online fridge, you'll find a ready-made home here for whatever community you belong to.

When you have something to say—be it a hot take on the intricacies of a Virgo moon, Barbie fanfiction, or an irresistible photo of your turtle Harold that you just have to share—go ahead and post it. Share a photo, a video, or a text post. Record an audio post of your musings or share your current favorite song via Spotify. We even have pre-set chat posts perfect for all your incorrect quotes.

The reblog feature sparks conversations, creates humor, and keeps them going—sometimes across the globe and over the years. Time and space are at your fingertips here. Whatever you choose to share in our effervescent digital ether, know that it can, and will, reach anywhere. (Of course, if you prefer privacy, our post-level reblog controls and private blog options have you covered).

Tumblr is the heart of fandom. We all have that one special character we adore from our favorite shows. Here, you'll find fanart to gaze at, reblog, and admire—or create and share with the community. You can read works by your favorite fanfiction authors from AO3, see their original character art on Tumblr, and discuss the finer points of lore with them. Whether it's Pokémon, Marvel, Kpop, Supernatural, Minecraft, Star Wars, or Doctor Who (or Doctor YOU!), it's all here.

It's a whole universe waiting for you. If the idea of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels a bit overwhelming, head over to tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will guide you through the nuances 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 crafted for yourself—you hold the keys to this kingdom.
