So I reblogged this AGES ago but as it turns out, the original account that made this list linked to their own reblogs of these posts. Problem with that is they’ve since changed their blog name and so as a result, AAAALLLLL the links in this post are D E A D.
BUT the original posts are all still around! So I followed my ADHD hyperfixation whims and, through a process of finding older versions of these links through Wayback and then searching up the original posters, tracked down the original post links!
May I present-

If any of the links break again on account of the original posters deactivating their accounts, feel free to let me know and I’ll update this post! OR if you’re a lost media hunter like me and you’re up for some fun, you can also just go through the Wayback Machine yourself with the original link and find someone else who reblogged it!
Go forth and be strong my ADHD friends! <3
