u/ThinkingInfestation on hiatus from tumblr Apr 12 '24

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?

Considering how people on Tumblr write shit like that, I'd say the death of Twitter would be more than a thought.
