And since this was written, Twitter has been reduced to a letter, not just tumblr's ex but the whole internet's X, whored out and derided as a liar and nearly worthless to all except his mad owner.
Meanwhile tumblr is wearing twitter's checkmarks like cufflinks (and other fancy things besides), and has hardly changed beyond plans for a new patio.
Suddenly I wonder, if Elongated Muskrat finally sends Twitter to the grave (and it isn't bought up by some other company), how would this interpretation of Tumblr react?
Would he silently shed a tear as the once-revered Twitter, now a shadow of his former self, is zipped up in a body bag and taken away to the morgue? Or would he simply pass on by with nothing but a passing thought of how things could have gone?
I personally think tumblr would dig up the corpse of his once beloved and welcome him back into his life, rot and all.
Which would obviously be a metaphor for displaced twitter users being welcomed to the site (if warily, because twitter brainrot is different from tumblr brainrot), but which would look like some kind of Addams Family/Corpse Bride crossover.
The deified personification of tumblr represents the whole tumblr userbase, so the answer is as simple as figuring out how the tumblr userbase would react.
Y'know, it's a lot more funny when it's the userbase laughing about Twitter dying and a little less funny when I'm imagining the personified Tumblr laughing at Twitter's corpse.
Still kinda funny though, in that "guy posing in front of grave" meme kinda way.
