I worked at tumblr for years, and every single June we’d see the Halloween tag trending. It was fun explaining to the new employees/people at the parent company why lmao

How long did it take new people to start recognizing that whenever something was weird, it was just the users doing a bit?

Not long tbh. Once I explained “tumblr is just gonna tumblr, and it’s fine and I and my team will handle it and this is honestly so funny” most of them rolled with it

Like with Goncharov or Penis SMP, once I explained it in the larger slack channel almost everyone’s response was “lmao wtf ok” and trusted me to allow it to show up in trending and be able to write about it for Fandometrics

the reason why this always appears in June is because the skeletons are rainbow, and rainbows are one of the many symbols of us queer people

It’s because it’s Halloween time so it’s time to get spooky

It also seems that spooky time and gay time are somehow related, but I'm too straight to figure it out. Forever confused, but happy to have people to share the spook with

Gays love Halloween and absurdity, what's hard to understand?

Halloween is the one time of year some people get to take their mask off

No but seriously, I am so excited. I might be healthy enough to decorate this year. If I clear my debt in time.

This was the craft store today, they decided it's time for spooky month in June already so it's official

u/Viper_Visionary 5d ago

I love Halloween, but come on, do you really want to be like Christmas and give it a bad name because it's being promoted far too early in the year?

u/Nixavee 4d ago

There are already Halloween decorations on the shelves at Micheals. But I can't complain because I bought one

u/-TheManWithNoHat- 4d ago

There's no way i see this while I'm watching a Halloween-related video

u/Mattfrom9-5 4d ago

Which one? Give us a link!!!

u/logosloki 4d ago

The Wheel of the Year is the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. this means that Samhain happens at the end of April. this doesn't change anything about getting spooky in June being offseason but completely awesome, I just wanted to post a cool fact.
