2 years in a row!? A huge THANK YOU to the Critters of Tumblr and beyond for keeping our adventures so close to your hearts!
The Best of Answer Time 2019
Answer Time, Tumblr’s official Q&A series, has been around since June 2015, bringing you exclusive access to everything you love the most. Every year gets better, and 2019 is no exception: we did 49 Answer Times with more than 1,000 questions answered across music, gaming, TV, film, and even space—we did four Answer Times with NASA (@nasa) throughout the year.
We did our first video K-pop interview with SEVENTEEN this year, stepped into Critical Role’s streaming studio, live-streamed a Q&A with the cast and showrunner of She-Ra, and we even had the Jonas Brothers pose in an inflatable unicorn while filming their reunion AT.
So here they are, all the highlights from Answer Time 2019. Get ready for even more in 2020!
The Mineblr Renaissance
The first iteration of Minecraft was released in May 2009, introducing the world to an incredible sandbox. By the time the full game was released in November 2011, it had more than 16 million registered users. Since then, the game has experienced waves of popularity, with different streamers sharing their playthroughs, cosplayers bringing the blocky world to life, and modders developing shaders and other tools to enhance the experience. Minecraft has become a cornerstone of internet culture across the web, and this year, on the tenth anniversary of the game, the Mineblr community on Tumblr has had a huge resurgence, debuting on the list at No. 4.
We’re celebrating this great achievement with a list of the best posts from the #Mineblr tag. It has everything; from bees to mossy logs, a recreation of Philadelphia to forbidden snacks, these posts will leave you booting up your game in no time at all.
