 4  Reblog > retweet

Reblogged it before? Doesn’t matter! You'll do it again if it's your favorite GIF set.

 5  You wish you could talk in long hashtags in real life.

I mean, you're already thinking in them.

 6  Your fandoms never die.

The best thing about Tumblr is that there's space for every fandom, even the ones you had when you were 5.
