Tumblr—Fandom, Art, Chaos

Welcome back to the wonderfully weird world of Tumblr, where your new favorite artist awaits. Dive into the effervescent digital paintings that span every fandom imaginable, and stick around to discover the breathtaking original works from these same talented creators. In between the art, you'll find the essence of the old internet—fandoms galore and enough memes to overwhelm a moderately-sized mammal. Whether you're here to contribute or simply to soak it all in, Tumblr is your canvas.

Every piece of life-changing art you uncover, every mesmerizing waterfall GIF, every poignant quote you reblog, and every tag you meticulously curate—that's all you. Reblog them to showcase your passions and personality to the world. You're the explorer, and Tumblr is the map you continuously shape. Welcome home—make it uniquely yours.

If you're an artist, you're stepping into a community eager to embrace your creations. Think of Tumblr as your online studio, offering a multitude of possibilities: a portfolio to showcase your work, a calling card for your art with built-in social engagement, or an online drawing board where you can brainstorm, share sketches, and receive feedback. Take on requests and commissions, participate in art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust, discuss your favorite brushes, and create original character art for your favorite writers on Tumblr. Sell prints, coasters, mugs, and other merchandise through our Artist Alley to an audience that's invested in you and actively seeking your creations. You can even start a webcomic here—think Heartstopper, which began its journey on Tumblr.

Now, imagine all of this accessible on the go. That's what Tumblr offers.

Chances are, if you've seen it elsewhere, it probably originated here. That unforgettable digital painting, that insightful text post explaining something you never knew you needed to know—your dashboard will become a tapestry of all the wonderful, nonsensical, and fantastical things you love. Whether you're posting, lurking in likes, or reblogging to your personal online fridge, you'll find a ready-made home here.

When you have something to share—a hot take on the nuances of a Virgo moon, Barbie fanfic, or an irresistible photo of your turtle Harold—go ahead and post it. Use photos, videos, or text posts. Record an audio post of your musings or share your current favorite song via Spotify. We even have a pre-set chat post for all your incorrect quotes.

The reblog feature sparks conversations, creates jokes, and keeps them going—sometimes across the world and over the years. Time and space are at your fingertips. Whatever you choose to send into our effervescent digital ether, know that it can, and will, go anywhere. (Of course, you can use our post-level reblog controls for privacy. Private blog? Private post? It's all possible here.)

Tumblr is the ultimate home of fandom. We all have that one special character we adore from our favorite shows. You'll find fanart to stare at, reblog, and admire—or create and share with the community. You can read 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, K-pop, Supernatural, Minecraft, Star Wars, or Doctor Who—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, visit tips.tumblr.com, where Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will guide you through 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 created for yourself—you hold the keys to this kingdom.
