Always open
You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
I personally really liked this one

also my askbox is open
I love this.
It goes from happy to ominous to heartache.
Heavenly hound. Vasco
sunny boy. Blessed boy.
Everlasting ray of lights.
Divinity in a dog. miserable man. Machete
Forlorn son. Cursed boy.
Overwhelmingly shadowed night.
Darkness swallowed.
and yet. as the light chases dark he sees. oh he seeks the warmth. He longs for the sun. As a sinner pleads for safe haven among the faith.
