Do you know how many fucking times my tumblr has appeared on other social media??

I'm not even making the comment about the rocks aura! I'm quoting the tags from the user i reblogged it from!

Isn't that the "how dare you leave this in the tags" phenomenon where OP will hide some gem in the tags for someone else to spot and call out? I was under the impression that it's often funnier that way, like a comedic duo where one party sets up the joke the other delivers.

So by quoting what was hidden, you became the second member of the impromptu comedic duo. You might not strictly deserve credit for writing it, but you helped deliver it.

Tags are more like a sotto voce commentary, they will be brought out into the post proper by any viewer that deems them worthy.

"How dare you leave this in the tags" is a higher tier, usually bestowed by OP
