Tumblr Story 

an article, essay, editorial, etc. remembered years after you saw it on your tumblr dashboard. These stories, often highlighting a cultural or societal issue, must be taken with a grain of salt due to their questionable validity, accuracy, and truthfulness.

In the 1980s, a Japanese girl was kidnapped, tortured, and raped by four of her schoolmates. After a few weeks, the girl died from her injuries, and the boys weren't charged with any crimes. This is a tumblr story because the details highlight sexism and rape culture, but whether or not the story is true is unclear.

Tumblr's Law

A scientific term. Tumblr's Law states that when a Tumblr user directly mentions or implies that a joke is funny, the joke is no longer funny. This can be commonly done through saying that a meme is hilarious, but can also be completed through such an action as laughing.

When a Tumblr User (commonly self-identified by a person with an active Tumblr account) laughs at something that could be considered humorous, every living being within a 5 mile radius instantly stops feeling joy for a short time. After this event, the joke is no longer funny, and it can no longer be referenced.

The only potential Tumblr Users then have for humor is in creating jokes, but hopefully it is not attempted on Tumblr.

(doge meme)
Tumblr User: this is so funny I have been laughing for 30 minutes and crying and shitting my pants.
Intelligent person: You just enabled Tumblr's Law on Doge, wtf??

tumblr daddy 

Characters (mostly main protagonists/antagonists from indie franchises) that are sexualized and simped on by a bunch of LGBTQ+ kids from tumblr.

Examples like:
Baldi - Baldi’s Basics
The Onceler - The Lorax
Bill Cypher - Gravity Falls
Black Hat - Villainous
Bendy - Bendy and the Ink Machine
Sans - Undertale

(chances of your character being a tumblr daddy can increase if your character wears a comically long top hat.)
