Alexander Hamilton died in 1804. You know who was born in 1804? That’s right, Jonn Deere. What did John Deere invent? You guessed it. The first successful steel plow in 1837. Where do people use plows? On FARMS. What’s one of the leading insurance companies in America today? State Farm. Eliza Hamilton was in a STATE of depression after her husband cheated on her with Maria Reynolds. What other musical theatre character has the name Maria? MARIA from West Side Story who was played by none other than Natalie Wood. What gives us wood? TREES. Who sings about sitting under a fig tree in the song “One Last Time”? GEORGE WASHINGTON. What did George Washington call Hamilton that made him upset? Son. HOW MANY LETTERS DOES THE WORD SON HAVE THATS RIGHT THREE AND THATS HOW MANY SIDES A TRIANGLE HAS ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED BITCH

I would pay top dollar for a comprehensive, source-supported explanation of how Superwholock vanished.

Like……..that was the core of tumblr in 2013. Its tainted life-blood. Its fetid royal palace. Destiel this and Johnlock that. Tardis-in-the-impala-at-221B URLS. Bendydoot Cucumberpatch and long analytical debates of which doctor is best doctor

What caused the end? What destroyed it? What series of events sunk this fortress? I’m so. So curious. This was so much of what tumblr was. So unavoidable. It’s cultural history. I want. to know.

So I’m not completely sure but I think you can pinpoint the disappearance to the month following Dashcon. Like, the entire year prior, things were going fucking insane; The DW 50th anniversary, Sherlock returned after a hiatus, Dean became a demon or something I don’t remember. Point is, the fans were worse than ever. 

And then Dashcon happened: All those people got together for a nightmarish event in the ball pit (for anyone who doesn’t know what Dashcon was, look it up and read any of the news articles about it. I promise, you will not be disappointed). 

Now, I wasn’t too active on tumblr at that point because of school reasons, but I remember finding out that the new season of Supernatural had aired on TV, and I saw NOTHING about it on tumblr. Not a single post on my dash. It was a miracle, but I was so confused. How had the whole fandom just vanished like that? I still don’t know for sure, but it was very shortly after the Dashcon incident. 

Then Doctor Who returned. New doctor and a new companion. Same scenario. Nobody said anything online. I was still big into DW so that was kind of a bummer but it was still astounding.

I went back online more readily and started realizing that fandoms, as I had known them, were essentially dead after that summer. It was like everybody simultaneously realized how toxic those communities were after they all got together in person and proved themselves to be a disgusting bunch.

It was the fastest and most unsettling jump in internet culture I’d ever seen. Overnight it became an embarrassment to admit that you were in a popular fandom. All because of fucking

“Superwholock died as a result of Dashcon” is the most fascinating theory I’ve heard in a while amazing

(And you know, seasonal rot and kids getting older and all that but s t i l l)

Anonymous asked:

I saw a post about starting high school (asking about when to figure out what they want to do) and as a graduating senior, I wanted to offer them some advice. Don't rush into finding a career path or a college major. Some people know what they want to do starting when they're a little kid. Others don't figure it out until a few semesters into college. Take advantage of all of the different classes you can take and don't try to settle on something because you think you have to.

Thanks for the input!
