I don’t understand why entire statements come after octothorpes. I get hashtagging stuff and how it might help with organization, but I don’t understand why whole sentences.

I’m not trying to be pretentious or “dang young people,” I just sincerely don’t understand.

Other than that I enjoyed the post.

It’s a tumbler thing, iirc it’s the only way to add your own text when reposting.

  more precisely it lets you add text that only shows up for people looking specifically at your reblog/boost/whateverthefuck the generic term is, unlike a reply which everyone afterwards can see.
  
  So it’s like showing your friend something on the phone and making a snarky remark about it, they hear your remark but no one else does.
