Application Description

Welcome back to the wonderfully weird world of Tumblr: the ultimate home for discovering your next favorite artist. Dive into a sea of vibrant digital paintings spanning every fandom imaginable. Stay captivated by the stunning original works from these very artists. Amidst the art, you'll find the nostalgic charm of the old internet, complete with a plethora of fandoms and enough memes to overwhelm a moderately-sized mammal. Whether you contribute your own creations or simply enjoy scrolling through the endless content, Tumblr offers a unique experience.

Every piece of life-changing art you stumble upon, every mesmerizing waterfall GIF, every thought-provoking quote you reblog, and every tag you meticulously curate—that’s all a reflection of you. Reblog them to showcase your passions and interests to the world. You're the explorer in this vast digital landscape, 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 work. Consider Tumblr your online studio with endless possibilities: a portfolio to showcase your creations, a calling card with built-in social engagement, or an interactive drawing board to refine ideas, share sketches, and receive feedback. Engage with the community by taking requests, accepting commissions, or participating in art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust. Discuss the intricacies of your favorite brushes, create original character art for fellow Tumblr writers, and even sell prints (coasters, mugs, tchotchkes) through our Artist Alley to an audience that's actively seeking your work. You can even start a webcomic—think Heartstopper, which began right here on Tumblr.

Now imagine enjoying all this on the go. That’s exactly what Tumblr offers.

Chances are, if you've seen it elsewhere, it likely originated here on Tumblr. That captivating digital painting you can't get out of your head, that insightful text post explaining something you never knew you needed to know—your dashboard will become a rich tapestry of all the wonderful, nonsensical, and fantastical things you love. Whether you post, quietly like, or reblog to your heart's content, you'll find a ready-made community here.

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

The reblog feature sparks conversations, creates humor, and keeps them going—sometimes across continents and over the years. Time and space are at your fingertips. Whatever you choose to share in our vibrant digital space, know that it can reach anywhere (unless you utilize our post-level reblog controls. Private blog? Private post? It's all possible here).

Tumblr is the heart of fandom. We all have that one special character from our favorite shows. You'll find fanart to admire, reblog, and even create and share within the community. Engage with your favorite fic writers from AO3, view their original character art on Tumblr, and delve into detailed lore discussions. Whether it's Pokémon, Marvel, K-pop, Supernatural, Minecraft, Star Wars, Doctor Who, or any other fandom, it's all here.

It's an entire universe waiting for you. If the idea of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels overwhelming, head over to tips.tumblr.com. There, Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will guide you through Tumblr's etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.

So, sign up, fall in love with some art, follow some tags, and find your niche on the dashboard. Then reblog, like, and post to your heart's content. Or simply drift through the dreamscape you've crafted for yourself—you hold the keys to this kingdom.
