Edit to bring in a bit more information of what the general scope of Tumblr is. Fandom blogs weren\'t mentioned until the end, with three shades of hipster at the very beginning. Not the tumblr way.

Tumblr is a "short-form" multimedia blogging platform.

We also [[http://tvtropesorg.tumblr.com have a tumblr]].
Though Tumblr seems to be gaining popularity, it has yet to be overrun by celebrities like fellow NewMedia hubs {{Facebook}} and {{Twitter}}. Instead, it's populated by all sorts of {{Fan Girl}}s, {{Hipster}}s, as well as vanguardists from every {{Hatedom}} imaginable. It's also known for its tacit encouragement of designers. Tumblr's interface makes it easy to set up a portfolio, and its support staff has been praised for running its [[http://www.tumblr.com/themes/ Theme Garden]], which features often minimalist layouts designed by users.

----
!! This site provides examples of:
* {{Angrish}}: The use of strings of keyboard-mashing gibberish such as "djhjrnfhbhnjh" is common to denote strong emotions, especially excitement and rage.
* AnimalReactionShot
* ArchEnemy: With {{Facebook}}. Alternatively, [[{{Imageboards}} 4chan]] considers tumblr this. Especially /co/ due to [[YaoiFangirl yaoi fangirls]] and rampant shippers which they feel bring in the more annoying (to them) aspects of fandom and make discussing things besides {{Shipping}} a chore if not impossible. The vitriol got even worse once ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' premiered and tumblr practically exploded in Korra love, fanart and [[ShipToShipCombat shipping wars]].
* AscendedFanon: Tumblr's own variation of the [[{{Twitter}} Fail Whale]], the [[http://www.tumblr.com/503.html Tumbeasts]] came from [[http://theoatmeal.com/comics/state_web_winter this]] strip from TheOatmeal.
* BerserkButton: For most users, "[[BlatantLies We'll Be Back Shortly]]", and for others, the Tumbeasts error page.
** For the love of god do not make rape jokes, it will only end badly!
** It is perfectly OK to blow off some steam and post about how much you vehemently hate something, but ''jesus tapdancing christ don't tag it''.
* CharacterBlog: Ask Blogs (mostly drawn, but there are a lot of text-based blogs). Probably older than most visitors think but the majority of popular ones are for newer series. RP Blogs (either independent blogs or part of an rp group) are also popular.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: "Night bloggers", who blog in the middle of the night while extremely tired and are responsible for the most bizarre text posts imaginable.
* CoolCar: lots of car porn.
* CostumePorn
** Lots of NSFW photographs involving costumed individuals, as well!
* {{Crossover}}: Don't freak out if you ever see a SuperAvengerWhoLockPotter post on your dashboard.
* CrowdSong: No, really.
* DeadpanSnarker
** SnarkToSnarkCombat
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: Averted with the themes, which are very minimalist, but played straight with the art posts.
* DuelingProducts: Fought with and has eventually took over LiveJournal's spot as ''the'' fandom location on the internet. There are examples of small to medium size fandoms completely abandoning LiveJournal in favour of Tumblr. One example is ICarly, which had a half-dozen or so active journals with regular discussion turn into ghost-towns, as the fandom quit en masse to join Tumblr instead.
* {{Eagleland}}: PlayedForLaughs, usually with stock photo of a bald eagle juxtaposed in front of an American flag. Example:
--> ''Blog Post'': Here in [insert country], it is our [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Day Freedom Day]] holiday.
--> ''Reply'': In America every day is Freedom Day! *Insert Stock Photo*
* EmoTeen: A good portion of the Tumblr demographic.
* FanGirl: A bunch of fansites following the convention fuckyeah__. Common alternatives are "hellyeah", "heckyeah", or "fyeah", if the person in charge doesn't want to swear in the blog title. Then there's "feckyeahfatherted" "frackyeahbattlestargalactica" and "fookyeahdistrict9".
** YaoiFangirl: There is also a '''large''' yaoi fanbase on the site as well. In fact, the majority of the girls on there can and will ship any gay pairing as hard as they can, the more nonsensical the better. There's something of a running gag on the site that, on Tumblr, [[HetIsEw there is no such thing as heterosexuality]].
* TheFashionista: A large portion of the Tumblr community.
* FoodPorn: Many blogs post richly-colored photos of food [[RuleOfCool for seemingly no reason]]. That and the fact they may like food.
* FriendlyWar: On May 2012, Europeans liveblogged about [[EurovisionSongContest Eurovision 2012]]. America declared a Banana War on the Eurovision posts by reblogging bananas.
* AGoodNameForARockBand: [[http://xkcd.com/1025/ As pointed by]] Webcomic/{{xkcd}}.
* {{Gorn}}: There's quite a few gore blogs for some reason. And by gore, we mean real life gore not movie gore. Though there's tons of that too.
* {{Goth}}: Many of these, [[PerkyGoth perky]] and otherwise.
* {{Hipster}}: As seen in the page image, a lot of the people on Tumblr are considered hipsters.
* ImageMacro: A number of tumblogs are ImageMacro factories, of the sort that recycle one image that represents the subject of the meme (generally with a pie-style background in various colours) and put different captions on it.
* LinkBlog: What tumblogs often become in practice.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: As noted, single topic tumblogs that catalog or reblog a single focused topic, frequetly fannish, are often titled "fuckyeah(subject)" or the more mild "fyeah(subject)", "effyeah(subject)", "hellyeah(subject)", or similar constructions.
* MoeAnthropomorphism: [[http://4chanxtumblr.tumblr.com/ Tumblr-tan]], who's frequently shipped with Anonymous thanks to the late 2010 drama between the sites
* MoodWhiplash: Depending on the blogs you follow, your dashboard may have something horribly depressing, some porn, some NightmareFuel, and some silly joke posts, all within the space of ten posts. The same thing can happen while doing an ArchiveBinge of somebody else's Tumblr.
* {{NSFW}}: Dear lord is it not. Best not to do searches while at work or around the family, less you run into porn (of all shapes). Fortunately, there is an [[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30860 app out there]] to save you from the nasties or whatever you don't want to see. Except for the things that were not tagged correctly.
** The kinds of blogs you follow can help cut down on anything you don't want to see, but it can still go from puppies to porn in two seconds.
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Sorry LiveJournal, you've lost the crown.
** In fact, Tumblr probably absorbed some part of this directly ''from'' LiveJournal; since a lot of people migrated from LJ to Tumblr, as mentioned under DuelingProducts, that would probably include many of the ones who were going there for their PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad fix.
* PerverseSexualLust / RuleThirtyFour: There's ''LOTS'' of porn blogs..
* PicturePastiche: A lot of users post iconic paintings, especially if they're Pre-Raphaelite or Neoclassical.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Tumbeasts, not to mention all the pictures of cats, puppies, and other assorted animals frequently posted.
** [[http://tommypom.com/ Tommypom]], Tumblr's more or less official mascot, is a Pomeranian owned by one of the site's staff members. The staff likes to show him off in their own personal blogs.
* RuleNumberOne: A surprisingly big amount of Tumblr users seem to blindly follow this one.
* SeriousBusiness: Gifs. Losing a follower is often treated like a death scene in one's favorite movie, with .gif spams of {{Heroic BSOD}}s.
** As mentioned in the description, shipping is also ''very'' serious business at Tumblr.
* SoapBoxSadie: While not as big a presence as amateur photographers, it's very hard not to run into social justice activists on Tumblr.
** A lot of people who primarily post other stuff -- fandom stuff, art, SceneryPorn, whatever -- will dabble in social justice blogging (or reblogging), in addition to the more dedicated activists.
* SuddenlyShouting: When excited, some users tend to start screAMING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE.
* ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet: Averted ''so'' hard with this site, where a large majority of the site's fandom-based tumblrs are run by females. Most of the straight porn blogs are actually run by girls.
* {{Troll}}: Oh goodness, where to begin?
* UrbanLegendOfZelda: It'd take to long to list all of the widely believed hoaxes started and propagated on tumblr. A 'if you don't reblog this your blog will be deleted' hoax gets passed around every few months. It is trivially easy to attribute a post to the staff blog, or CNN, or any number of reputable sources that never said a word about it.
* WeAllLiveInAmerica: More often than not PlayedForLaughs.
-->''IN AMERICA WE USE MONEY NOT HAIR COMBS''
* YouAreNotAlone: Many promote this as their advantage over Facebook.

Instead, it's populated by all sorts of {{Fan Girl}}s, {{Hipster}}s, as well as vanguardists from every {{Hatedom}} imaginable. It's also known for its tacit encouragement of designers. Tumblr's interface makes it easy to set up a portfolio, and its support staff has been praised for running its [[http://www.tumblr.com/themes/ Theme Garden]], which features often minimalist layouts designed by users.
''HarryPotter'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''{{Sherlock}}'', ''{{Misfits}}'', ''Film/TheAvengers'', ''{{Supernatural}}'', ''ArrestedDevelopment'', ''Series/{{Community}}'', ''GameOfThrones'', ''{{Homestuck}}'', shows from the GoldenAgeOfAnimation, {{Cult Classic}}s, and any movie or show with a large slash following (such as ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Series/{{Merlin}}'') have fairly large fanbases on this site. Like most places on the internet, {{Shipping}} is also a big deal.
----
!! This site provides examples of:
* {{Angrish}}: The use of strings of keyboard-mashing gibberish such as "djhjrnfhbhnjh" is common to denote strong emotions, especially excitement and rage.
* AnimalReactionShot
* ArchEnemy: With {{Facebook}}. Alternatively, [[{{Imageboards}} 4chan]] considers tumblr this. Especially /co/ due to [[YaoiFangirl yaoi fangirls]] and rampant shippers which they feel bring in the more annoying (to them) aspects of fandom and make discussing things besides {{Shipping}} a chore if not impossible. The vitriol got even worse once ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' premiered and tumblr practically exploded in Korra love, fanart and [[ShipToShipCombat shipping wars]].
* AscendedFanon: Tumblr's own variation of the [[{{Twitter}} Fail Whale]], the [[http://www.tumblr.com/503.html Tumbeasts]] came from [[http://theoatmeal.com/comics/state_web_winter this]] strip from TheOatmeal.
* BerserkButton: For most users, "[[BlatantLies We'll Be Back Shortly]]", and for others, the Tumbeasts error page.
** For the love of god do not make rape jokes, it will only end badly!
** It is perfectly OK to blow off some steam and post about how much you vehemently hate something, but ''jesus tapdancing christ don't tag it''.
* CharacterBlog: Ask Blogs (mostly drawn, but there are a lot of text-based blogs). Probably older than most visitors think but the majority of popular ones are for newer series. RP Blogs (either independent blogs or part of an rp group) are also popular.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: "Night bloggers", who blog in the middle of the night while extremely tired and are responsible for the most bizarre text posts imaginable.
* CoolCar: lots of car porn.
* CostumePorn
** Lots of NSFW photographs involving costumed individuals, as well!
* {{Crossover}}: Don't freak out if you ever see a SuperAvengerWhoLockPotter post on your dashboard.
* CrowdSong: No, really.
* DeadpanSnarker
** SnarkToSnarkCombat
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: Averted with the themes, which are very minimalist, but played straight with the art posts.
* DuelingProducts: Fought with and has eventually took over LiveJournal's spot as ''the'' fandom location on the internet. There are examples of small to medium size fandoms completely abandoning LiveJournal in favour of Tumblr. One example is ICarly, which had a half-dozen or so active journals with regular discussion turn into ghost-towns, as the fandom quit en masse to join Tumblr instead.
* {{Eagleland}}: PlayedForLaughs, usually with stock photo of a bald eagle juxtaposed in front of an American flag. Example:
--> ''Blog Post'': Here in [insert country], it is our [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Day Freedom Day]] holiday.
--> ''Reply'': In America every day is Freedom Day! *Insert Stock Photo*
* EmoTeen: A good portion of the Tumblr demographic.
* FanGirl: A bunch of fansites following the convention fuckyeah__. Common alternatives are "hellyeah", "heckyeah", or "fyeah", if the person in charge doesn't want to swear in the blog title. Then there's "feckyeahfatherted" "frackyeahbattlestargalactica" and "fookyeahdistrict9".
** YaoiFangirl: There is also a '''large''' yaoi fanbase on the site as well. In fact, the majority of the girls on there can and will ship any gay pairing as hard as they can, the more nonsensical the better. There's something of a running gag on the site that, on Tumblr, [[HetIsEw there is no such thing as heterosexuality]].
* TheFashionista: A large portion of the Tumblr community.
* FoodPorn: Many blogs post richly-colored photos of food [[RuleOfCool for seemingly no reason]]. That and the fact they may like food.
* FriendlyWar: On May 2012, Europeans liveblogged about [[EurovisionSongContest Eurovision 2012]]. America declared a Banana War on the Eurovision posts by reblogging bananas.
* AGoodNameForARockBand: [[http://xkcd.com/1025/ As pointed by]] Webcomic/{{xkcd}}.
* {{Gorn}}: There's quite a few gore blogs for some reason. And by gore, we mean real life gore not movie gore. Though there's tons of that too.
* {{Goth}}: Many of these, [[PerkyGoth perky]] and otherwise.
* {{Hipster}}: As seen in the page image, a lot of the people on Tumblr are considered hipsters.
* ImageMacro: A number of tumblogs are ImageMacro factories, of the sort that recycle one image that represents the subject of the meme (generally with a pie-style background in various colours) and put different captions on it.
* LinkBlog: What tumblogs often become in practice.
* MadLibsCatchPhrase: As noted, single topic tumblogs that catalog or reblog a single focused topic, frequetly fannish, are often titled "fuckyeah(subject)" or the more mild "fyeah(subject)", "effyeah(subject)", "hellyeah(subject)", or similar constructions.
* MoeAnthropomorphism: [[http://4chanxtumblr.tumblr.com/ Tumblr-tan]], who's frequently shipped with Anonymous thanks to the late 2010 drama between the sites
* MoodWhiplash: Depending on the blogs you follow, your dashboard may have something horribly depressing, some porn, some NightmareFuel, and some silly joke posts, all within the space of ten posts. The same thing can happen while doing an ArchiveBinge of somebody else's Tumblr.
* {{NSFW}}: Dear lord is it not. Best not to do searches while at work or around the family, less you run into porn (of all shapes). Fortunately, there is an [[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30860 app out there]] to save you from the nasties or whatever you don't want to see. Except for the things that were not tagged correctly.
** The kinds of blogs you follow can help cut down on anything you don't want to see, but it can still go from puppies to porn in two seconds.
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Sorry LiveJournal, you've lost the crown.
** In fact, Tumblr probably absorbed some part of this directly ''from'' LiveJournal; since a lot of people migrated from LJ to Tumblr, as mentioned under DuelingProducts, that would probably include many of the ones who were going there for their PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad fix.
* PerverseSexualLust / RuleThirtyFour: There's ''LOTS'' of porn blogs..
* PicturePastiche: A lot of users post iconic paintings, especially if they're Pre-Raphaelite or Neoclassical.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Tumbeasts, not to mention all the pictures of cats, puppies, and other assorted animals frequently posted.
** [[http://tommypom.com/ Tommypom]], Tumblr's more or less official mascot, is a Pomeranian owned by one of the site's staff members. The staff likes to show him off in their own personal blogs.
* RuleNumberOne: A surprisingly big amount of Tumblr users seem to blindly follow this one.
* SeriousBusiness: Gifs. Losing a follower is often treated like a death scene in one's favorite movie, with .gif spams of {{Heroic BSOD}}s.
** As mentioned in the description, shipping is also ''very'' serious business at Tumblr.
* SoapBoxSadie: While not as big a presence as amateur photographers, it's very hard not to run into social justice activists on Tumblr.
** A lot of people who primarily post other stuff -- fandom stuff, art, SceneryPorn, whatever -- will dabble in social justice blogging (or reblogging), in addition to the more dedicated activists.
* SuddenlyShouting: When excited, some users tend to start screAMING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE.
* ThereAreNoGirlsOnTheInternet: Averted ''so'' hard with this site, where a large majority of the site's fandom-based tumblrs are run by females. Most of the straight porn blogs are actually run by girls.
* {{Troll}}: Oh goodness, where to begin?
* UrbanLegendOfZelda: It'd take to long to list all of the widely believed hoaxes started and propagated on tumblr. A 'if you don't reblog this your blog will be deleted' hoax gets passed around every few months. It is trivially easy to attribute a post to the staff blog, or CNN, or any number of reputable sources that never said a word about it.
* WeAllLiveInAmerica: More often than not PlayedForLaughs.
-->''IN AMERICA WE USE MONEY NOT HAIR COMBS''
* YouAreNotAlone: Many promote this as their advantage over Facebook.
