A saving grace of tumblr is that I don’t have to see Influencers™️.

Our TVs have been graced with @neil-gaiman in recent years, but Tumblr has been graced with him for over a decade! This month we discuss Uncle Neil’s influence, as well as Dead Boy Detectives, Bridgerton, Shogun, and taking your coffee orally.

April means April Fools! Tumblr has a long and storied tradition of built-in pranks and this month, we go through each one. Plus: big news in the 911 fandom, a new show to obsess over, and a total eclipse of the sun.

unfortunately no eclipse photography can ever outdo the waffle house one from 2017
i don't even know who took this pic. the only person who claims to know the photographer was this person who uploaded it to reddit without naming them. it just adds to the mystery of it
Finally a good fucking source
gay people will say "i know a spot" and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then it's a time loop and then
Get dazzled by the true spectrum of solar beauty. From fiery reds to cool blues, explore the vibrant hues of the Sun in a mesmerizing color order. The images used to make this gradient come from our Solar Dynamics Observatory. Taken in a variety of wavelengths, they give scientists a wealth of data about the Sun.
Don't miss the total solar eclipse crossing North America on April 8, 2024. (It's the last one for 20 years!) Set a reminder to watch with us.

Ever since DD 37, “at my sicko window” has become an irrevocable part of my personal vocabulary. It needs to become commonplace on tumblr. I am totally at my sicko window with several characters right now. Thank you for bringing that phrase to life
yessssssss we love this!!!!! we are always at our sicko window!

Maybe it was all part of a great big ineffable plan, but Good Omens was the most popular thing on Tumblr in 2019. Bigger than BTS by exactly 4.43%, but who’s counting? As for BTS…well, they deserved a break, but it did cost them the crown. Meanwhile, Marvel had a huge year. We could try to count how many Marvel-related tags are in Year in Review, but it’d definitely be at least 3,000. Steven Universe came to an end as a series, but came back as a beautiful feature-length film; the future’s looking bright. And how many SKAM remakes will make the TV list this year? There are two on this one—we see you, Germany and France. Game of Thrones also reached its conclusion (did we actually sit through all of those seasons for THAT?). Moving on to the Galar Region, Pokémon gave us the biggest gift of the summer: Wooloo. Thank you, Nintendo. Critical Role returns to this list after a long adventure with the Mighty Nein across Wildemount. And finally, we round things off with the Ship of the Year, our Ineffable Husbands, Aziraphale and Crowley. This is Tumblr’s Week Year in Review.
