<3 I have nothing else really to say, I just agree with you. Though:
But it is a lot easier and a lot less soul-crunching to throw up pics and squee rather then Big Words That Mean Things
I think the tumblr brand of in-the-tags meta is fascinating. Because it's often basically word vomit about how some tiny gif-captured moment is beautiful and meaningful. In which it's not really dissimilar to journal word-vomit about how certain scenes or themes are beautiful and meaningful, but I definitely think it clearly stemmed more from a) expanding and attempting to verbalise squee and b) gif-captured moments. So, uh, anthropologically it's intriguing (and if it's something I similarly adore, sometimes emotionally very gratifying) but...yeah. I still feel like it's not conduicive to discussion. Cus people just reblog it instead of answering with their own word vomit that slowly morphs into a conversation...
