#non fungible tumblcryptids

[jess-total-mess]

I went digging through youtube, old posts, and shitty websites, along with my memories, and here you go! Hopefully these are accurate.

2013 — Unoffical Tumblr event “Mishapocalypse” happened, an online flash mob event wherein which Tumblrinas change their profile pictures to a specific picture of Misha Collins of Supernatural fame.

2014 — Users were given the option to get Tumblr Pro for free, and those who accepted were given top hats on their icons. Prompty after this, @staff announced that “Everyone with a top hat is now marked for account deletion. This is the only way we could destroy this horrible website. Happy April Fools day.”

2015 — The “Executive Suite 2016 Productivity Edition” essentially changed Tumblr into office software, allowing spreadsheets for memes, calculators that gave incorrect answers, and Coppy. Who gave “helpful tips”.

2016 — Tumblr voted to select the “new lizard king”, from Rick, Debrah, Mop and Wretched Tooth. However, more famously, an edited @staff post reads “for april fools we’re deleting this entire site sayonara you weeaboo shits”.

2017 — The Tumblr Horse Game was a feature that, when clicked, took users to a game wherein you had to collect shit from a pixelated horse. If you failed to do so, the horse died.

2018 — The answer to Bitcoin, is Tumblcoin! A parody of crytocurency.

2019 — Tumblr Memories, in which Tumbeasts were set loose. Remember them? The mascot from 2011, for service interruption announcements.

2020 — There was seemingly no prank this year. This was COVID-19.

2021 — Tumblr released “non-fungible tumblcryptids”, a parody of NFTs. There was a supposedly limited amount of them.

2022 — A light switch, when activated, would open up a variety of colourful things on the desktop dashboard, including a “Summon Crab!” button, which would summon a crab when activated. Other buttons made different sounds.

2023 — A feature similar to the Discord reaction function was temporarily added, using basic emojis.

2024 — Every user was given the option to opt-in to the boop o meter, and could boop, super boop, and evil boop other users who also opted in, earning up to three badges by doing so.

NFTs are here!

No one was more surprised by the recent boom of NFTs than we volunteers at the Tumblcryptid Adoption Center. Up until just a few months ago, we were under the impression that NFTs were our well-hidden secret...something we kept shielded from you and, frankly, ourselves. How did the rest of the world learn about them? We have no idea. You see, we have millions of NFTs we’ve kept under lock and key since the great NFT discovery in 2008. After weeks of hemming and hawing, we decided it is no longer our place to shield you from them. That’s why we’re holding our very own Non-Fungible Tumblcryptids (NFT) Adoption Fair.

You may remember the Tumbeasts. Those cunning Tumblcryptid sub-species were simply too beastly to be contained. They ravaged everything in their path. No enclosure could hold them. No trainer could mold their behavior. The Non-Fungible Tumblcryptids up for adoption today have been assessed for good behavior, are fully vaccinated, and do not want to steal your skin.

To adopt your own, visit your dashboard on the web and click the undulating “Summon thy Tumblcryptid” button right there at the top. To spread the word about our adoption fair, we’re going to reblog some of your best Tumblcryptids adoptions, fanart, and commentary right below this pinned post.

u realize those tmblr cryptid things are nf/t right? I generated one bc I liked mine too and only later after posting did I realize it had THAT automatic tag. I deleted it immediately.

if u click on the big banner that says “NFTs are here” on the dash itll direct u to the big long tumblr explanation, which is that they’re “Non-Fungible Tumblcryptids (NFT)” and its an april fools day joke and theyre not actual NFTs 

#i also dont like NFTs but #thats not what these are? i dont think tumblr would even have like....the resources to do that. its a joke making fun of NFTs #kayvswords #Anonymous

Man I love tumblr staff sometimes

[archivelikely]

oh since you missed the april fool's thing - tumblr had a button where you could get a "NFT" (non fungible tumblcryptid) that gave you a randomly generated shape with a cartoon face and a personality partially with some random tag you've used before. thus leading a not insignificant amount of people to worry they had accidentally contributed to real NFTs being created

ohhh yeah i guess that wasn’t on mobile, nobody on my dash was really talking about anything like that lol

Non-Fungible Tumblcryptids ( NFT) Adoption Fair.

it’s a poor dumb joke.

‘The tumblr cryptids shit is a poor attempt to read the room by @staff, who saw that a bunch of people were posting about it and thought it would be perfect for a joke. Rather than raise awareness about how solving one single “problem” on the block chain can use as much energy as one small country in a whole day, they decided to make a cute randomizer that poses itself as an NFT. ‘

OFFICIAL TUMBLR PRESS RELEASE

For Hellsite Eyes only…,

Tumblr Inc. is today delighted to announce the promotion of Senior Financial Advisor Brick Whartley to the role of Head of Viral Marketing and Exponential Growth, which he will balance alongside his other new position as Front End Software Developer. It follows his success with the introduction of TumblCoin in 2018, and Non-Fungible Tumblcryptids (NFTs) in 2021.  

-

In a statement today, Mr. Whartley said: “Following my extended staycation on a remote, unnamed desert island, after the wild success of my previous initiatives in Heading Viral Marketing and Exponential Growth, I am delighted to be back at Tumblr in these fantastic new roles—with a fantastic new tan! 

My first edict will be to increase clicks across the platform by any means necessary. Our initial synergy meeting generated some ideas just overflowin’ with The Wow Factor: digital fidget spinners! Everybody loves ‘em! Babies love ‘em, teens love ‘em, even adults love a good fidget spinner! With that in mind, our focus for the last week has been to develop as many widgets as we can for the Tumblr dashboard on web. We’re launching them all at once, right now, to align all verticals into one major event. Everyone should see a lightswitch in the corner of your Dashboard – flip it right now to begin clickin’! Get busy flippin’!

Through the day we’ll be tracking everyone’s mice clickin’ and clackin’, analyzing patterns and behavior, and making further refinements to maximize discoverability. Users on Tumblr can watch this total aggregate engagement KPI through the floating Click-o-Meter at the bottom of the page. Tumblr and I will also be posting regular updates, right here, on our Synergy blog. 

So come on. Here’s to a profitable quarter—and above all, let’s get fidgety with it!”

Yours sincerely, 

Mr. Brick Whartley,

Chief Officer of Viral Engagement and Synergy, Tumblr

Front End Software Developer, Tumblr

Business Man
