so fuckboy!bucky did things to me but when he become a teacher👀👀 sis that lil slut who lives in me wakes up and choose *violent*
the point is I imagine him more daddier now (and I think he has that kink too) so even though him and reader are friends now he would take care of them like you need a ride? Got it. You're out and you're hungry?? He's paying. When you have a mental breakdown he's there to comfort you. And side note i know they won't suppose to hook up or try any kind of relationship but I'm sure that now he would like to ropley teacher x student stuff or he would totally fuck you in the classroom after classes or being riski and leting you blow him under his desk during class👀
girl ajsjsdjsaj bucky is a high school teacher lmfao those teenagers would smell the sex from hundred miles away sjdjsj. he doesn't have a daddy kink, but a "sir" kink although i do agree that he looks more daddier lol. actually he looks exactly like this but with neck and hand tattoos and maybe a little bit stubble (though he's mostly clean shaven bc school rules)

How does Tumblr function as a digital community?
Tumblr as a community has evolved, for better and for worse, due to the management changes and core features the website has experienced over the span of the past decade. From its foundations, Tumblr has catered to those who are “increasingly moored from the cultural mainstream” (Neagle, 2017, pp.11). As a combined result of both platform mechanics and the platform’s “alternative” audience, Tumblr users have garnered infamy for their attachments to “fandoms” as well as their homogenous “extrême-gauche” political views.
In 2007, Tumblr was founded by David Karp with the intention of it being a “tumblelogging/microblogging” platform as no others shone at this time (Rioja, 2020). Originally, this attracted artists, writers and various bloggers into the community of Tumblr. Due to its niche, non-commercialised, and NSFW-friendly nature, Tumblr also garnered a lot of attention from “alternative” users, or users that did not quite fit in with the mainstream community of platforms such as Twitter or Facebook and desired a more “liberating” platform. As Tumblr began to integrate “popular tags” and “recommended blogs to follow” on their interface, subcultures began to sprout, alongside passionate users with various interests to share in those communities. This is how subculture and “fandom” behaviour thrived on Tumblr more so than other social media platforms. Fans of certain books, video games, anime, LGBTQ+ people, etc. have all flourished from these features.
How Tumblr typically looked around its peak popularity (around 2012-2013.) Source: https://bookendeavors.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/getting-tumblr-a-beginners-guide/
Political opinion and intrinsic values are extremely homogenous within Tumblr, which is the result of a couple of the website’s characteristics:
The marginalised youth are the most vocal and common user on the website (Cho, 2015a; Renninger, 2015; Thelandersson, 2013; Warfield, 2016), whom of which will support their fellow “mutuals”; and
The plethora of features Tumblr has that encourages anonymity meant that users could,without consequence, attack or threaten vocal users with conflicting opinions to theirs.
With anonymous “asks” integrated as a feature, fandom personas (i.e. character roleplay tumblr accounts are a popular subseries of blog-genre) were gratified (Renninger, 2015), and the reblog feature was limitless in content’s spread, Tumblr granted its users a double edged sword: though it was ultimately freeing to sever a user’s ties from a professional or physical appearance, it could also prove to have vicious and hostile potential (example here and here). Those who held conflicting opinions to a sub-community’s norms would be either shunned or inclined to remain silent. These factors moulded Tumblr to have its infamous “panopticon” culture, where a Tumblr user grows accustomed to policing themselves in fear of an offended observer publicly shaming them. (Neagle, 2017, pp.12) (McMullan, 2015).
Tumblr’s website is largely at war with its own community as the platform fades into obscurity. As website ownership flung from independence to a multitude of corporations, Tumblr saw the need to adapt to a more advertiser-friendly landscape. Because of Tumblr’s frequented polarising and NSFW content, the website created a distaste for brands to advertise and thus the website favoured the profit potential of Tumblr having more of a “family-friendly” attitude, choosing money over their loyal customer base by censoring NSFW content entirely. This action, in accordance with various unpolished features over the years, resulted in the general Tumblr community to detest the platform (seen here and here) and its ownership as no recent update is seen to favour the user, only the investors. A renaissance of inside-joke memes regarding the website’s fallacy erupted (examples here, here and here) as the community withered.

Once independent and NSFW-friendly, Tumblr had matured from their fundamental nature in the hopes of granting advertiser favour. Though as website traffic dimished (NSFW being a key contributor to Tumblr’s popularity), so too did the attraction of the website as a profitable digital billboard (Fiegerman, 2017). As Tumblr becomes less and less popular, many of its users migrate to more cooperative platforms (e.g. writers to Twitter, aesthetic blogs to Instagram).Those that remain cling solely to the unique community Tumblr fostered rather than the potential the website has for self-expression.
