“Fanlore” - Tumblr and Beyond
i just discovered this website fanlore.org
IT’S WIKIPEDIA FOR TUMBLR explaining memes and fic tropes WITH MULTI-FANDOM EXAMPLES INCLUDING URLS.
weirdest fucking thing is reading a wikipedia article explaining the “you can break my soul, take my life away” meme, including breaking down how the gifs are separated and what/who is included in each gif.
also attempting to explain basically every AU that has ever existed is pretty hilarious.
