wat what does this mean lol

History lesson! Yes, a tumblr convention did happen, back in mid-2013, and it was called Dashcon. Basically, tumblr in a convention, right? Sounds cool. People thought it would be really promising since there was going to be a Q/A panel from the creators of Welcome to Night Vale! But, following the convention’s start, the panel was cancelled. Everything went downhill from there. Barely anyone attended, except some cosplayers(namely homestuck fans, we’re here for everything) and other folks.

 That ball pit up there? That thing quickly started a rumor that the staff would give an ‘extra hour in the ball pit’ to make up for missing the Welcome To Night Vale Q/A. This is what started the ‘extra hour in the ball pit’ meme.

People payed 17,000 bucks for this con. Literally nothing happened. 

And so, everyone here who was on tumblr circa 2013 knows and wants to prevent it to happen again.

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the the ball pit passed out of all knowledge.

i actually can’t believe that required a history lesson. that some people actually don’t just instantly know what that godforsaken pit represents. we need to protect those people

It’s like a cautionary tale. Like some greek myth with a bad ending. It’s right up there with orpheus and eurydice
