Tumblr Tuesday: Wicked!
We’re all in agreement here: the movie would have been better if they’d kissed. Nonetheless, Gelphie rules your hearts and your fanart this week, and they’re sapphic if you say so, dammit. What else are headcanons for?! Please enjoy this Gelphie art. Pink does go good with green 🩷💚
Tumblr! They’re here. Communities are finally here.
Communities are a new and easy way to connect with the people on Tumblr who get it. You can invite mutuals who share your obsessions to a private Community or start a public Community for the things you love and watch all the new friends pile in. Like a clown car, Communities can fit (almost) as many people in ‘em as you want.
Today, we’re hatching Communities out of their beta shell and launching them at your collective Tumblr experience—for you to enjoy and tinker with as we continue to build them out. We’re talking globally, on web, iOS, and Android. Buckle up, baby. We’re going to be so normal about this.
You can make a Community for just about anything. Art. Gravity Falls. Knitting. Your current D&D campaign. Photography. Obscure ships. The gay people in your phone. Music. Science. Fashion. Design. Baldur’s Gate 3. You’re the wielder of your own destiny. And, thanks to our delightful early testing users, there are already so many for you to join. Hazbin Hotel? Check. Arcane? Check. The Phandom? Check, check, check.
How do you get started?
- You can browse Communities over here.
- Find specific Communities by tapping the Communities tab at the top of the search results page.
- Want to create your very own Community? Right this way, maestro.
- Here’s a help doc for any questions you might have.
We’re excited to see what you do with this. Go forth, hang out, have fun.
Tumblr Tuesday: Huevember
Hues, colors, shades. From pink to red to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple. You know what has those? Huevember. This Huevember, like other Huevembers before it, is demonstrating the delightful and very broad spectrum of fandom here on Tumblr (we’ve snuck a couple OCs in here, too, because they were too good to leave out). You have a few more days to get involved in one of the many challenges, or you could just sit back and enjoy these hues 🌈

@nisartoons:
This is interesting 🤔
*Record scratch* *Freeze frame* Yep, that’s us. You’re probably wondering how we got here.
The internet is changing, and with it, social media. We partnered with Archrival who asked Gen Z (aka, you) and Millennial folks (also you) what’s important to you in online communities. Some interesting trends emerged from those conversations, and we thought you might like to take a look and see what tracks for you.
The Trends:
- Broken Social Scenes. Too much content, too little organic connection. You want something deeper.
- Network Effect. You’re creating new networks that nurture belonging through intimacy, exclusivity, and IRL meet-ups. (Communities, anyone?)
- The New Rules of Influence. Connections, not followers. Influencers that build trust and real engagement matter more to you than big numbers.
- Community, According to you. Community building must be holistic. Social media must be social. Community is not a marketing strategy.
