A Cursed Look Into Tumblr History (Heritage Posts)

hello friends and welcome back to another video i'm not sure whether this counts as a tumblr deep dive i'm not looking into a tag the way that i usually do instead i'm looking at one very specific very special blog called heritage posts which popped up a couple of months ago almost immediately people were messaging me like oh my god you have to see this blog both friends in real life and people online everyone was like oh my god this is the worst thing in the world you need to look at it heritage posts if you are not familiar is a great blog to follow if you happen to be on tumblr from around like 2010 to 2014 and you love pain but before we get into it i have some very exciting news this video was sponsored by function and beauty's new skincare line you select the ingredients and

way you want ask submissions private messages and i'll decide if it's cursed enough to appear on the blog one particular post deemed cursed enough is sweet benedict sleep in our bed yes we strokes that we pets its hair my precious 2012 i'm [ __ ] ready come at me oh my god like you you can you can hear it you can you can just feel him saying swag there's a lot of heritage posts that are just these endless endless streams of gifts just endless how did we have the patience to scroll through this we can fix this why don't we buy yahoo i can see it now oh cool do you remember yet fellow boomers if someone involved in your ship has expressed that they don't want you to do the shipping don't do the shipping basically just remember that actors and youtubers are people too and that when you ship them together it's very easy to make them feel uncomfortable to be around each other it's not real so don't convince yourself that it is have fun shipping but don't pretend that it's real just because they're famous doesn't mean you can invade their privacy or interfere in their personal lives a good take from early tumbler who would have ever thought this has been a psa thank you goodbye have a nice day but i guess it does speak to like this being a big problem with early tumblr once again i'm not against rpf or shipping real people in any way in fact i ship a few real people myself and have read the odd rpf that's real person fanfiction um i just think a lot of people go way too far without realizing it and make everyone uncomfortable it's that yes okay if more females would sit down and be ladies then more males would stand up and be gentlemen no not in this video we've seen too much lately i looked at the notes expecting to find several essays explaining what's wrong about this but now as much as i hate the buzzfeed feminism of 2012 2016 tumblr i guess i prefer it to whatever the hell this is yeah what the hell is this holding up signs with a artsy filter over like that's a very like 2013 aesthetic but i can't remember any like trad wifey type communities back then that would have like been preaching this message anyway have you read the fick where louie and harry are conjoined twins but they're conjoined by hello darkness my old friend sometimes i actually don't know what to say date of origin 2014 based on my knowledge of larry shippers there's no doubt in my mind that this thing probably exists no oh yes oh my god this post is not this is not just tumblr iconic this is this is really important internet history here okay this is the weed smokey girlfriend's post these are my three girlfriends and yes they smoke weed do they smoke weed yes actually you mean she isn't just smoking a cigarette but a weed cigarette it's called a bunt not a weed cigarette and yes it's a weed bunt they all smoke weed buns before we kiss they are my girlfriends they don't look like they smoke weed i can get away with saying [ __ ] a few times and be monetized but i don't i'm skeptical about that amount of times so i'm so angry you were so i'm so angry you are so lucky my three weed smoking girlfriends are rubbing my shoulders to calm me down i'm so mad i'm half expecting my roommate to burst in and be like are you reading the wheat smoking girlfriend's post right now anyway okay your weed smoking girlfriend has a hello kitty tattoo on her belly the one in the middle i printed out a photo of your avatar and taped it to my punching bag that i punch and i mutter your url with every strong punch i punch you twerp don't ever talk about blaze or the wicked tat tattoo i drew on her ever again i don't want to see you standing outside my home at 3am holding your weird dripping brown bags ever again okay leave us alone this is the final [ __ ] warning well that escalated quickly what was that hmm come again blaze grabs my shoulder come on jewelry they aren't worth it please i jerk my shoulder shaking her hand off no no starts to pummel you with my big [ __ ] fists with each blow i let out a furious yell the blows come quicker and harder and the yells get louder i'm yelling so loud now and i'm crying breaking point the week was hard and i can't take it anymore i am openly sobbing at this point while you blood gurgle all my all my three girlfriends struggle to pull me off and they finally succeed and lead me away from the goo pile that is now your body that's not even the end of it but i'm i know lots of people have done better dramatic readings than i so please just look up the weed smoking girlfriend's post if harry styles wasn't famous then he would just be a guy in england who is beautiful and no one would even know about him and how perfect he is and that really bothers me i think about this a lot okay there's probably so many cute guys in the world who are dorky and can sing like an angel and are just and are kind just like harry and i don't even know who they are because they're not famous don't touch me i'm upset this is the ugliest post i've ever made this ain't who i am anymore i've changed you still don't use any punctuation whatsoever though it's this is really not a great i'm not having a great time trying to read this out loud i'm feeling hyped i need to breathe oh no this one's arguably worse because hannibal holds up way better than sherlock does there there is something to love and hannibal still unlike sherlock don't you take away my last shreds of love for this show the unofficial rules of tumblr no one knows of tumblr okay do not mention tumblr to non-tumblees that a word anyone ever said okay do not tell someone to get a tumblr when someone tags instant reblog you have to instantly reblog the post don't make a [ __ ] yeah page unless it doesn't exist don't do follower trains this is not myspace do not connect tumblr to twitter or facebook rule number seven is a prime example towards rules number one two and three that that in itself isn't really a rule but okay ranting is just a way of saying [ __ ] you wouldn't say anywhere else all memes are acceptable here yes we we really learned that one the hard way over the years didn't we don't be a [ __ ] post your thoughts here because no one is going to get you down here nudes are totally acceptable here but tumblr is not a porn site that's right kids if you look at a boob disrespectfully on tumblr you will be sent to horny jail i mean at least like back in the day when you could look at boobs on tumblr just because you can take pictures doesn't mean they will be reblogged yeah you think you're a photographer okay jessica everyone everyone are friends on tumblr never follow the staff if your post goes on the radar you are instantly god of tumblr for the day always follow the rules of tumblr don't ask people to follow you you earn followers and finally this is an instant reblog date of origin 11th of december 2010 this is this is an early one because this is pretty insufferable even by like 2012 2013 tumblr standards this is a fascinating glimpse of what tumblr looked like in 2010 no idea what a [ __ ] yeah page is supposed to be they were just like fandom blogs right like in pretty much every fandom there would be someone who had the url like [ __ ] yeah insert title of thing i really don't know why it was just a trend ellen degeneres just ellen degeneres just is this a parody of just girly things or is i'm a broken woman i i'm just looking into ellen's cold dead eyes trying to figure out if this is ironic or not if you're in the supernatural fandom or even if you've heard of the show reblog this i'm trying to prove a point to a friend who doesn't think it's a real show can you just like google it and show them the imdb page what doesn't think it's a real show we get that a lot with gifts like this and there's a bunch of absurd gifts of it's supernatural being really [ __ ] quirky i was definitely into tumblr and like the super hulk era the only one of those shows i actually was into was sherlock which i am fully aware shame me i deserve it doctor who i've watched recently actually and it is kind of fine and fun if you turn your brain off back in the day i was not at all opposed to watching that watching it in fact a lot of my friends were into it and i kind of felt guilty i never got around to watching it anyway the point i'm trying to get to is supernatural was always too far for me i always looked at it and was like okay guys so this vlog came into being in june of this year i want to look back at like the first couple of things they ever posted because i came across it really early and like this was the stuff that i was seeing when people first started sending me this blog so the first ever post is um mishapocalypse i remember this i remember when this happened i was not i was not in the supernatural fandom as i said but i remember my friend came to school that day and she had like she opened her computer in class and it was like all pictures of misha collins or like she was photoshopping a picture of him or something like that i don't know and i was like the hell are you doing and she was like oh haha it's like the mish apocalypse and like showed me all of like what was going on on tumblr that day i looked it up to see if i could find like a concise definition of what went down and so google says the miche apocalypse was a tumblr meme associated with april fool's day 2013 on that day supernatural fans on social media switched their avatars to a particular photo of a grim-faced misha collins i believe it is um tumblr heritage post's profile picture and apparently enough people participated that some people would see their entire tumblr dash filled with posts from misha a 2013 april fool's day prank for which thousands of tumblr users changed their icon to the same photo of misha collins and endlessly reblogged said photo and manipulated thousands of gifts sound files posters photos and screen caps to contain references to the overlord all tumblr users not affiliated to the misha's minions or supernatural fandom were extremely alarmed but unable to escape greetings from dashcon yes there is a bouncy castle and a ball pit this is our history lads how how do we feel feeling good feeling uh organic attention to all dashcon attendees someone urinated into the ball pit while it was empty and posted it in the tag stay out of the ball pit there are people who think this is a joke this is not a joke please stay out of the ball pit for the safety of your health once a girl in my class stood at the front of the room and came out as a lesbian the entire class started laughing at her and being plain rude i stood up and silenced the whole class as i clapped then when everyone was silent i also came out as a lesbian the girls smiled and ran over to hug me thanking me for getting them to stop we became friends and soon develop and i soon developed a big crush on her i asked her out and she said yes she had the same reply today when i asked her to marry me oh my [ __ ] god if you don't think this is the cutest [ __ ] ever go home petitioned to have a movie made out of this story everyone clapped a beautiful heartwarming artifact one year until dashcon july 11th to 13th 2014 exactly one year until dashcon can we get 2014 notes in honor of the occasion buy tickets book a room schedule guest list date of origin 11th of july 2013. that is a true heritage post like these original posts are still on the site and this absolute historian is excavating them for our viewing pleasure i swear to god if one more stupid fandom ruins a beautiful text post i am calling the police you kind of walked into that one don't you think i assume this is something to do with um fandoms just posting endless endless streams of reaction gifts under everything see that girl in the back of the class you just called quiet she doesn't care she was thinking about gay fanfic oh my god tumblr user pizza i haven't seen this in forever a boy at a party tonight literally told me not to eat a slice of pizza because i wouldn't want to put on any more weight do you know who i am wouldn't that make you a cannibal though shh i'm tasty pizza now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time right oh no oh no so i'm treating myself to a day at dashcon thing is i can only go one day and both friday saturdays have really cool things planned which day should i go please help me out saturday has a ball pit in meetups oh ancient writing from the old kingdom literally literally like i wonder if anyone's ever done like a true true deep dive on this dashcon is i've heard a couple people reference it as the turning point where the decline of like super hulk and that sort of fandom culture started to happen but was it due to tumbler users looking at that kind of being like oh and getting a little more self-aware or what did it just kind of happen that way that it had already like run its course i don't know the ball pit deflated i repeat the ball pit deflated oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no i don't want to read it i don't want to read what's under this oh my [ __ ] oh my [ __ ] god thank you please have my firstborn child i'm so done this gif i just nothing more i need nothing more right now date of origin first of september 2012. i am so serious when i say that i will unfollow the [ __ ] out of all of you if i see you reblogging that photo set of the cockatoo covered in chocolate this is not funny this is not cute this is animal abuse birds are not supposed to eat chocolate birds are not supposed to be coated in chocolate why the [ __ ] do you think birds who get coated in oil die it's for the same goddamn reason you idiots can have all the chuckles you want over the fact that that poor animal was living the dream but i hope you know that it probably died and you still find it funny that i genuinely do not want to associate with you it can only wish upon you the most painful and awful death imaginable guys those photos were fake it was cgi from an adam sandler movie no no if i ever see any of you in public the code is i like your shoelaces that way we know we're from tumblr without revealing anything i'm just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person must keep reblogging i'm going to be so suspicious if anyone tells me this now remember the answer is i stole them from the president this is an absolute tumblr relic i feel like an archaeologist right now this is incredible this is on my dash date of origin second of july 2012. the person who runs heritage posts right now has an ongoing search for the i just realized i'm gonna have to say this out loud the opa homeless style post obviously screenshots exist but they can't find the original post to reblog so this is documenting some of the search for it i want to find screenshots of the post i want to i would do i do want to suffer through this wait i had a good day of tips waitressing for once so i gave a homeless man 20 on the walk home homeless man there must be a mistake me no mistake i can afford to cut back a little have a wonderful day homeless man tearing up suddenly a shrieky little voice rang out a pasty dude wearing a trench coat and a fedora barreled towards me what the [ __ ] are you doing he yanked the 20 bill out of the homeless man's grip slicing his fingers on the paper he stuffed the bloody bill in my face [ __ ] no no you worked hard for this money well he sat on his ass you keep it he threw the money in my face what is your problem [ __ ] listen to me you useless female can you tell but i'm afraid i've used up my swearing quota and susan is about to scale my building and kill me on the spot okay i'm from new york city anyway listen to me you useless female i'm from new york city where the homeless have the decency to try and work for money whether it's shining your shoes cleaning your windshield or doing a little dance on the street corner i once saw a man with one leg hop in a circle for hours to make six dollars this is the difference between a classy homeless person and a bum me well this is my money i earned it i'll use it in any way i like how do you get your money if you're so important [ __ ] i don't need a job because my mom gives me money a crowd had formed everyone was glaring at the scumbag and if you were even cheering me on homeless man you wanna dance you little prick everyone turned around to see the homeless man rising to his feet to our amazement he began to perform a pitch perfect korean style dance homeless man oppa homeless style the crowd erupted we all began to join into the dance save for [ __ ] who turned bright purple i threw my twenty dollars at the homeless man's feet everyone else followed suit tossing money at him a money a woman in a suit gave him her gold watch [ __ ] took off running while the rest of us danced into the night so in one of my classes there's this girl that is the stereotypical white girl and she shows up every day five minutes late with a starbucks but today she came to class on time with messy hair and a ravenclaw scarf a doctor who shirt an aperture science water bottle and about 10 other fandoms and just sat down next to me and said i'm so sorry hashtag fake stories fandom versus hipsters another classic fake story is this an accurate portrayal of super hulk or am i barking up the wrong tree um this couldn't be more perfect and luna is home stuck or something wow i it's i guess i guess it's over this is an important message that needs to get out to markiplier there is a gang war in la the first gang to get to 100 kills gets to take over that part of the city you need to be careful mark you could be at a high risk because of your high status please be safe everyone in or around la and please reblog to get it to the youtubers in la i just worry about their safety markiplier stay safe please stay safe marky poo we are all very concerned for you and other youtubers someone tag all of the game grumps i think about this post daily yeah it's gonna haunt my dreams from now on thanks well i hope that brought back some very happy childhood memories for you and if not i hope that educated you on the state that some of us grew up in on tumblr these days you'll still catch little tiny glimpses of that every once in a while but it tends to just like eat you back to 2012 it's not common at all whatsoever the demon has long since jumped to twitter we're pretty pretty chill and safe on tumblr it's a great way to get the memes without any horrible discourse anymore really as usual thank you so much for watching like and subscribe to my youtube channel and support me on patreon because i do live q a's on
