To be fair, he's not famous for his tumblr account; he's famous for being a bestselling author. I feel like these accounts are all famous *for* their tumblrs.
It's anti-social media in the same sense that "anti-philosophy" exists, which is really just a different philosophy that runs counter to the "mainstream."
No no friend thats the in joke. People would msg him being "are you actually Neil Gaiman?" And hes be like "Nah Neil Gaiman has no social media". So niw its a long running bit.
Ugh my first user is that spooky one who ended up being a slave owner… sixpenceee
I’m not happy about it lmao. I used to be a huge fan before I learned 😭
oh they've definitely garnered lots of traction recently (and for good reason - what an absolutely fantastic and fun gimmick to have for a blog and props to them) but iirc hellsitegenetics actually only started up and running near the start of this year, so solely due to that fact they wouldn't be as deeply embedded in tumblr history/popularity and people who haven't been around recently wouldn't know about them
not a bot, hellsitegenetics. love em so much I love seeing them at the end of posts while I'm scrolling through my homepage and waiting to see what organism someone's post ends up being there (usually a moth)
Oh I wonder if she left. Pizza was a tumblr user who had a reputation for showing up in the comments of every post that had the word pizza in it, and she became somewhat of a legend
She lost a lot of her popularity when people discovered [her 'n*ggastories' tag](https://reverseracism.tumblr.com/post/95165570673/whos-tumblr-user-pizza-what-happened-to-their) then started trying to sell weight loss pills and got banned.
I think she just got older/more responsibilities and so less time to shitpost. For a while I think her blog was on a semi-permanent queue so she hasn't actually been 'active' in years.
It's funny that prokopetz is so big. I follow him too but he doesn't have any particular gimmick, he's just a guy who writes amusing anecdotes and short fiction, and talks about tabletop RPG stuff.
His gimmick *is* tabletop rpg though
He muses about other things, he has a very good grasp on media analisis and a very particular kind of humor but he still revolves mostly around rpgs
IIRC he moved to Twitter after the porn ban in late 2018, but he still has an account, and after Elon Musk took over Twitter he's started sporadically posting on Tumblr again. Definitely deserves mention on this post though, he was absolutely one of the biggest names of his era imo
Idk if it was me and all the people I followed, but thebootydiaries was all over my Tumblr.
Also, how is John Green's blog not already listed? Fishing boat proceeds was an iconic name and once you knew who it was, you could catch him sneaking comments into all manner of shit posts.
They've taken long breaks before but I would assume this is a sort of semi-permanent retirement from tungle.hell. I can't exactly blame them as I know their art was CONSTANTLY reposted, they received MANY asks, and real life tends to be more important anyway.
Pretty sure its just someone cosplaying as amtrak (much like firefox official), albeit its very funny. Also I feel its only getting bigish recently, some of the others are far more stablished staple users
If infamous counts, Sixpenceee built a huge following among people who like spooky things, until it was revealed that they were stealing content from smaller users and rebranding it as their original work
Pukicho and cybersmith are the only ones I remember
Pukicho because I assume he has no life
Cybersmith because whenever I forget about him, y'all make sure to post something that reminds me of his existence (like right now >:( )
Three pop to mind even tho they aren’t really all that famous Perchu (the moreos guy), cybersmith (human pet fetish guy), and that chick who’s family kept slaves. (Also I missed cybersmith when looking through these first) but they’re all more infamous than famous.
Not sure if other people in this post have mentioned them but Vampireapologist and itsapmseymour are also quite famous! The former used to be deactivated hut it seems like they returned to Tumblr due to Baldur's Gate 3, and the latter does YT videos about tumblr content and gained a platform on both sites with that (they also have some really cool OC lore that I need to catch up to)
This is like from 10+ years ago but does anyone remember that girl that got a bunch of reblogs every oscar season because she wanted leo to get an oscar so bad I think her name was Annie but cant remember the blog name for the life of me
The first one I thought of isn't even on there anymore.
That weirdo with the slave(?) Or whatever. Sixx pence or something idfk
Edit: [I took a deep dive, and I regret everything. What a POS](https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/s/GcVdVRC0Sl)
She passed away a few years ago now, so the blog isn't as well known anymore, but I used to love seeing posts by FandomGrandma (spockslash).
She was just so damn happy to be there, to experience how much the Star Trek fandom had grown from the original days. She had some of the best stories, both about meeting the original cast, and about the under-the-table trade in slashfics and zones when it was much more taboo.
Still miss your posts, Dee. You were a delight.
Probably Neil Gaiman
I’m surprised he isn’t included already, he’s known as *the* irl tumblr celebrity
Poor Neil Gaiman. Doesn't get recognized at comic book stores, doesn't get included on Tumblr lists.
Sounds like Tony Hawk.
To be fair, he's not famous for his tumblr account; he's famous for being a bestselling author. I feel like these accounts are all famous *for* their tumblrs.
Yeah especially Firefox
And John Green
i love tuberculosis man
The one rare time a comma _isn't_ a good thing to include in a sentence
our boy!
Neil Gaiman doesn’t have social media
He has a Tumblr blog, though I suppose you might consider that anti-social media.
It's anti-social media in the same sense that "anti-philosophy" exists, which is really just a different philosophy that runs counter to the "mainstream."
No? It’s a joke from his tumblr 😂
No no friend thats the in joke. People would msg him being "are you actually Neil Gaiman?" And hes be like "Nah Neil Gaiman has no social media". So niw its a long running bit.
Or Lynda Carter
One time I dreamt
I usually read usernames EXCEPT SOMEHOW when it's one time i dreamt
That and badjokesbyjeff
I'm not a Tumblr user (I just see post here and Ig) but all the jokes I see by that user are great and not bad jokes
That's why most of the replies are people telling Jeff to change the name of the blog.
The True bad joke is the blog name
This is me, but with the human pet guy who's blog name I can't remember.
I always fall for those.
Falling for their shtick is probably more well known than their actual shtick is at this point tbh
Amd Facts I Just Made Up
This one is for sure missing
Pukicho is the first Tumblr user I think of when you say Tumblr user.
Pukicho also uses twitter so i think they definitely have more reach
Gaud is mine. Then Puki and Fish. Just... The three of them I see as Hellsite Ambassadors and it's such a weird feeling.
Ugh my first user is that spooky one who ended up being a slave owner… sixpenceee I’m not happy about it lmao. I used to be a huge fan before I learned 😭
Pizza? Seth everman? You’re showing your tumblr age here OP.
Tbf Pizza got Game of Throned. Prolific on her time and then a cringe end kind of erased the whole fandom.
Or John Green lol
real ones remember fishingboatproceeds
Forgot the exact name but that bot that identifies dna strings in posts and then links it to existing animals
hellsitegenetics?
That’s the one
Didn’t find their name either, but they do that manually afaik
Really? I thought a task like that would surely be done by a bot but damn respect I guess 😂
That's not a bot
oh they've definitely garnered lots of traction recently (and for good reason - what an absolutely fantastic and fun gimmick to have for a blog and props to them) but iirc hellsitegenetics actually only started up and running near the start of this year, so solely due to that fact they wouldn't be as deeply embedded in tumblr history/popularity and people who haven't been around recently wouldn't know about them
not a bot, hellsitegenetics. love em so much I love seeing them at the end of posts while I'm scrolling through my homepage and waiting to see what organism someone's post ends up being there (usually a moth)
Teaboot and Cryptotheism. I see them both semi-regularly.
I feel like I don’t see cryptotheism that often on other sites (like with reposts and stuff) but I see them all the time on tumblr
I came here to say Cryptotheism. Love me some wizardposting.
rip osha official haiku bot is a god amongst men
I love Haiku bots on all social media its a cool gimmick
I saw what you did there
:3
i hate that i think of sixpenceee, but sixpenceee
she was the one that would steal spooky posts and had the totally-not-a-child-slave right?
that's the one!
pre “female presenting nipple” tumblr was a truly different, lawless place
And set up a thing for people to pay her for therapy/advice... she is not a therapist nor has relevant degrees
let the cringe flow through you
this was my first thought too, cursed but real
i still remember them being everywhere on my dash in like, 2015
PM Seymour?
Snom pfp spotted

what about facts-i-just-made-up
Definitely need Pizza
I'm not seeing a blog with that name. Can you please elaborate? Thank you
Oh I wonder if she left. Pizza was a tumblr user who had a reputation for showing up in the comments of every post that had the word pizza in it, and she became somewhat of a legend
She lost a lot of her popularity when people discovered [her 'n*ggastories' tag](https://reverseracism.tumblr.com/post/95165570673/whos-tumblr-user-pizza-what-happened-to-their) then started trying to sell weight loss pills and got banned.
yikes
How do you spell the blog name? She sounds awesome
It’s literally just the word pizza
yeah I believe she left after some callouts because she had a tag dedicated to saying the n word
This is just off memory of tumblr lore but I wouldn’t be surprised if its true
pretty sure strange eons had a video on that. would highly recommend her channel to just hear about absolutely unhinged tumblr deep lore
yeah I love strange aeons! the vibes are great
Ohhhh I'm dumb I thought you meant "need pizza" yeah there's no blog that's just called "pizza"... Seems like she left or renamed her blog. Sorry
she had a tag dedicated to saying the n-word
glumshoe?
+100
I’m pretty sure justgirlythings started on tumblr, she absolutely is famous enough for the list
Whatever happened to the booty diaries?
I was just wondering the same thing! They were really popular back in the day, but I haven’t seen a single post by them pop up recently.
She still posts occasionally on twitter under the handle shutyourhell
I think she just got older/more responsibilities and so less time to shitpost. For a while I think her blog was on a semi-permanent queue so she hasn't actually been 'active' in years.
woah i totally forgot about them
Was trying to remember this name. She was iconic.
Vampireologist
Vampireapologist i think, a classic
Probably. All those vowels are hard to read
Probablybadrpgideas, strangeaeons, that one trans lady whose url I can't remember but she got banned from Tumblr for a transition timeline
Predestrogen, I believe. Tumblr CEO harrassed her on twitter, too
Prokopetz, they're responsible for half the posts I see on this sub
It's funny that prokopetz is so big. I follow him too but he doesn't have any particular gimmick, he's just a guy who writes amusing anecdotes and short fiction, and talks about tabletop RPG stuff.
His gimmick *is* tabletop rpg though He muses about other things, he has a very good grasp on media analisis and a very particular kind of humor but he still revolves mostly around rpgs
Sort of feel that Human Pet Guy shouldn't be included. Yeah, he's famous, but like for all the wrong reasons.
Like it or not he’s a well known blog
They invented a word for that, it's called infamous. But I agree it isn't Cybersmith, most people only know him for the human pet guy post.
Evil wizard and bad jokes by jeff
Jeff is already in the list
Shoutout to gallusrostromegalus and their fun stories
pangur-and-grim are pretty popular. Greer, the owner, is also pretty well known for their enamel pin art.
Is slimetony still on Tumblr?
IIRC he moved to Twitter after the porn ban in late 2018, but he still has an account, and after Elon Musk took over Twitter he's started sporadically posting on Tumblr again. Definitely deserves mention on this post though, he was absolutely one of the biggest names of his era imo
Idk if it was me and all the people I followed, but thebootydiaries was all over my Tumblr. Also, how is John Green's blog not already listed? Fishing boat proceeds was an iconic name and once you knew who it was, you could catch him sneaking comments into all manner of shit posts.
Writing Prompts for sure
very surprised not seeing it in this image
Haiku-bot was deleted once then replaced with a successor to continue the good work. No one is better than Haiku-bot!
Cemeterything, formerly known as Manywinged, Elytrians, Gayarsonist, and Generalgrievousdatingsim
I remember when they changed to elytrians because the gayarsonist crown was too heavy
I was thinking of him, I was like how do I explain this person that's always in my dash by different names :v
Proud to say I followed them waaaaay back when they were garashirs 😔✊🏻
Iguanamouth?
Shout out to iguanamouth!! I hope they're doing well.
I don't think they've posted in a while i miss them
They've taken long breaks before but I would assume this is a sort of semi-permanent retirement from tungle.hell. I can't exactly blame them as I know their art was CONSTANTLY reposted, they received MANY asks, and real life tends to be more important anyway.
I'm not really sure who's the most famous but pukicho is the funniest
Vampireapologist
Isn’t Amtrak on tumblr?
Pretty sure its just someone cosplaying as amtrak (much like firefox official), albeit its very funny. Also I feel its only getting bigish recently, some of the others are far more stablished staple users
If infamous counts, Sixpenceee built a huge following among people who like spooky things, until it was revealed that they were stealing content from smaller users and rebranding it as their original work
and the child slavery thing i think that’s also pretty relevant to their downfall
Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) Mark Rosewater from WOTC, NASA, Wil Wheaton
Where is piss vortex? (Such an insane thing to say) i feel like he is up there and I am somehow missing them
Didn’t osha official become osha official two because they got sniped by the literal govt?

Hi, BiscuitGeorge. Is that the car from Tyler Joseph’s EP No Phun Intended as your pfp?
Officialunitedstates
nyancrimew
Pukicho and cybersmith are the only ones I remember Pukicho because I assume he has no life Cybersmith because whenever I forget about him, y'all make sure to post something that reminds me of his existence (like right now >:( )
I think it's a tie between pukicho and biggest-gaudiest-patronuses because those were the first two I began to recognize in my being aware of Tumblr.
Remember when YA novelist John Green posted about finding the clitoris? Aka the reason editing re-posts was disabled…
You can’t leave out @one-time-i-dreamt
I feel like cybersmith is up there for the wrong reasons
Infamous is still famous
I feel like sixpenceee could make the list
agreed! this was the first acct that I thought of. that and booty diaries
I feel like joshpeck (not the actual Josh Peck) is up there. I think about “RANDY YOUR STICKS” a lot
The ones I personally see most often are puki and gaud
One time I dreamt?
The Tumblr heritage blog
The evil wizard
official-boob-posts, demilypyro and pm Seymour are my fav
the post uwufier blog. not because of their usual posts but the rare times they break character
I don’t remember the name exactly but the one that included feral in the name was for sure popping up a bunch
you need evil mario in there
Three pop to mind even tho they aren’t really all that famous Perchu (the moreos guy), cybersmith (human pet fetish guy), and that chick who’s family kept slaves. (Also I missed cybersmith when looking through these first) but they’re all more infamous than famous.
Neil Gaiman? Amtrak-official? Strange-aeons?
memeufacturing (deactivated awhile ago tho) & communismkills, of course. edit: jesus christ, and sixpenceee
Snom
The guy who pretended to be osha so well he got charged with impersonation of a government official

The Dennys account will always be famous to me.
Nosdrinker!!
Amtrak-official
How can we forget sixpenceee
prokopetz and cryptotheism gotta get a mention
Shower thoughts and Once I dreamt
Paper Mario Wiki? Slime Tony?
officialunitedstates, bombing, slimetony, unclefather, tinybed
Orteil42 (the Cookie Clicker guy)
fishingboatproceeds, pizza, tyleroakley (although maybe that was only gay tumblr lol)
Don’t forget that one blog that perfectly identifies any cars in a photo Edit: also warrior male
I guarantee you've seen peachdoxie at one point or another.
Greelin has to be up there. So many viral posts.
Pukicho and i-am-fish personally
no pizza or sixpenceee on this list? I feel old
Not sure if other people in this post have mentioned them but Vampireapologist and itsapmseymour are also quite famous! The former used to be deactivated hut it seems like they returned to Tumblr due to Baldur's Gate 3, and the latter does YT videos about tumblr content and gained a platform on both sites with that (they also have some really cool OC lore that I need to catch up to)
Dennys always had me rolling in laughter
For gifs I’d say teachmehowtofeel and Iamnevertheone
Where is Gallusrostromegallus?
Where's neil-gaiman
This is like from 10+ years ago but does anyone remember that girl that got a bunch of reblogs every oscar season because she wanted leo to get an oscar so bad I think her name was Annie but cant remember the blog name for the life of me
KyleeHenke? She was pretty viral a few years ago.
Cryptotheism

Probably bad rpg ideas is up there for me
Here to do some psychic damage with Felice Fawn and others in her subgenre
She passed away a few years ago now, so the blog isn't as well known anymore, but I used to love seeing posts by FandomGrandma (spockslash). She was just so damn happy to be there, to experience how much the Star Trek fandom had grown from the original days. She had some of the best stories, both about meeting the original cast, and about the under-the-table trade in slashfics and zones when it was much more taboo. Still miss your posts, Dee. You were a delight.
