The answer? Alcoholic Vowel Nazis. Tumblr isn’t just an error by the blog gods. I’ll tell you what really happened; Long ago, in a land lost and confused, a website traveler stopped in the land of Domainname. He’d heard of the tragedies in the town, vowing to be the first of his comrades to come out as unscathed as possible.How would one website fair differently? First, the fall of MySpace (fromally YourSpot, but the vowel count was too high), sparked the growth of Facebook (they paid the grandspellcheck). This site crashed and burned after only a few years; though facebook still roams. Then, Twitter, once called Tweetpad, was struck down and taxed via character count. What would little Tumbler do? With his summons to meet the Interwebs overlord (probably google, but no one has ever mentioned his name), Tumbler pleaded his case for the chance at a successful and happy blogging platform. The overlord was displeased with his name choice (and the fact he didn’t pay him in trident and misha gifs), casting him into the pit of taken domains. As he crawled from the pits of darkness, Tumbler emerged a new man; Tumblr: Site of Dankness and Fandom Feels. Long story short; Google did this to us. HOW DARE YOU GOOGLE. #gishwestakestumblr #gtt2
