WHY WOULD YOU TELL YOUR SISTER YOUR TUMBLR EVEN EXISTS

[chardmonster]

I keep my fandom activities (above and beyond just being geeky) on fucking lockdown, and not only because I'd be outed immediately. My family either doesn't think I have a tumblr or that it exists "because I need an account to see the site" and they're never getting a link unless I create a separate professional account.

I mean this sucks, and it's great that you don't hide your power level, but damn that scenario would wreck me. I do not want to explain Oglaf to mom.

BC WE ARE TWINS AND SHARED A LOT OF FUN THINGS WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, AND NOW WE'RE KIND OF ESTRANGED AND SHE WAS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO CONNECT lol but no seriously, I told her several years ago after she asked, that I had a tumblr, but not what my url was. I think she was lonely bc she's been stressed and tried to friend me on something we could share together, but it backfired bc I'm sick and she's passive aggressive.

And when I was in my late teens/early 20s, my parents knew I had a lot of friends online that I hung out with. Sometimes my mom would ask me what we liked, and I would tell her, but she never looked me up on any site. I also started doing fannish stuff when I was 13, under my parents' supervision, so their curiosity about what I was doing never felt invasive.

Now that I'm older and have complete autonomy with what I do, I only ever tell my mom if I've made cool new friends who I really like.

The reason I freaked out re: my twin sister was because we established total independence when we were doing online stuff, since we did everything else together irl. It was a way of figuring out what we liked without using the other as a sounding board. Now that we're older, she's married, and we live apart, we don't have much in common irl. She misses me, and I think she wanted to reach out but didn't know how.

But I also use my tumblr sometimes to post about irl stuff that, as an adult, I decide not to tell my family about. Such as my medical conditions, or the fact that I'm asexual. Those were the reasons I didn't want my twin to see my tumblr, not because I wrote 12 pages of meta on Herbert West. I love sharing stuff like that with her, although her tastes don't match mine, lol.

I think tumblr is well-known enough that OP's sister could have discovered it all on her own. :)

I am very paranoid about family seeing fandom stuff as well, so I have a separate tumblr that is mostly animal pictures and art in case any of them ever get wind of the fact that I have knowledge of that website and ask for my URL.
