Dashboard Diaries

This month, we travel back in time ten years to the halcyon days of 2014. What makes us so nostalgic for this time? Was this really the peak of the internet? All that is old is new again, so in many ways, it's STILL 2014. Except now, we're in the CORB-it.

This month, Cher and Lauren go deep underneath the castle (?) to explore the dungeon (?) and fight monsters (?), which they'll then try to cook and eat (?). They try to figure out what Dungeon Meshi is. Plus: your life is never going to be the same once you've heard about the corb. WE ARE C O R B.

Every Tumblr user knows that we Tumblrinas use language a little differently. We're not like other social media users. We're weird. We're weirdos.

How do we build long lasting fandoms with short lasting TV seasons? How do you know when to invest in a story when it might be canceled the next day? Cher and Lauren discuss that and much more, including: the real problem with on-scree sex scenes, the Ton-blr, and the importance of snake wranglers.
