--------------------------------------
@cringelordofchaos is one of the more noticeable and still active members of Freakblr. And is also been cited as one of the Freakblr Original Seven, giving them special status on this blog. As previously mentioned, all Freakblr Original Users are sourced from @sobeksewerrat's post from several months back.
Cringelordofchaos stated that the main reason they joined tumblr in general, is because this is where they were able to find content for their favorite fandoms. "I noticed that when I search up cringe ships I like and go to Google images most of the things sourced back to "Tumblr", and so I realized that Tumblr could be a place I could be more accepted at, that people wouldn't judge me for being cringe, for my personality, fandoms, interests, ships or queer identity, and I wanted in." They even gave a reason for the name of their blog, "I made the blog called "cringelordofchaos", to reflect the fronte part of myself I was willing to share."
Though, they specifically found Freakblr like many of us do. Through, "@tmf-confessions!(While scrolling through the TMF tag on tumblr I came across . There were barely like, 15 posts at the time if not less when I first discovered the blog, and each post had like 2 likes from the same people, and that blog really was a primary catalyst for sharing your thoughts or anything related to TMF really, we all quickly became mutuals cuz again there weren't many of us"
They described the early days as many Freakblr Original Users and older members of the community do. "It was great! It was a pretty small group of people, like what? 3/4/5 of us at first? We mostly hung out at @tmf-confessions, right? And we were pretty tight since there were so few of us, and we let ourselves go wild and do all sorts of shit." It seems many believe the early days to be best, when activity was at an all time high and when there was a sense of freedom and almost casual community.
Cringelordofchaos has several aliases/alternate blogs. It's quite impressive. I listed many in the above section of this post. but some of note would be: @freakblr-lore and @tmf-tournaments. Still, the rest are just as important, making up their identity in Freakblr and the mark they've left on the community thus far.
When asked about blogs of note, chaos specifically mentioned haileyxaustin (left tumblr) and roryheart (deactivated). As well as zzstar-head, b0ytr4sh and zoeyhoeyisalive (deleted). Through just these connections, it's clear Chaos is/was very involved in this community.
They also noted that they were very close with @sobeksewerrat and @undeserved-halo.
When asked about enemies they said they felt they had no enemies. "I don't think I have any enemies ??? I consider myself pretty close to most of the OG7 + some others to the point where we talk abt much else more than tmf."
The memory Chaos decided to share is one that's considered classic amongst members of Freakblr, specifically those older members of the community. "When berry (@strawberry-pretzels) revealed they had rats that laid eggs, I mean that's always going to be iconic." They also had another memory, that's much more obscure in contrast to the previous one. "The time Roxy said she wears socks with tights." But, i think it's important to note they also said this, "I find each moment in this community equally important and special."
As mentioned previously, like many older members of Freakblr, they had mentioned not an aversion too new Freakblr, but a longing for it's earliest moments. "I liked the older days of Freakblr much, much better. Since there were less of us we all pretty much knew each other, we were pretty tight like an actual friend group and had a ton of inside jokes n stuff the new Freakblrs don't know, and we used the Freakblr tag for non-tmf related stuff more." There was, as mentioned, a sense of casual community. A tight knit group that felt more like friends than just strangers bonding over the fandom. "In short we were all much closer and it all felt so special and if the community wasn't as small as it was before I don't think I would've met my closest mutuals." Like I said, this seems to be the consensus among many Freakblr Users who were around for the early days.
Cringelordofchaos is one of the Freakblr Blogs I consider to be memorable. You can find their comments and reblogs in many older Freakblr posts. And even outside of Freakblr they pop up in places like Ao3 comment sections. While not as active in Freakblr spheres specifically anymore, they are still an active member of the overall tumblr community. And when you think about Freakblr, it's hard not to think of their blog. Like all Freakblr Original users they've left their mark on the community and will always be remembered by us.
As a final quote to sum up their thoughts and feelings on Freakblr, Chaos had this to say:
"This place is a perfectly imperfect disaster and I don't wish to ever leave."
