A ship fanfiction that twists the character's personalities and/or the source material's plot so much to the point where it's a completely different story just trying to make your "uwu senpai" ship into a thing. A few changes to a fanfiction's story to put it apart from the original wouldn't make it a Tumblr Fanfiction, it's only if it has so many changes that they could literally replace the main characters of it with their own designs and most people wouldn't know that it's based on an existing piece of media. These types of fanfictions are everywhere, trust me, I used to write this type of trash.
Despite the term's name, this isn't just used for actual Tumblr fanfictions. This term is for fanfictions that fit that definition in general. It's named this way because Tumblr fanfictions are stereotyped to be cheesy and bad (they usually are haha).
"This fanfiction is shit. Why is Lilly suddenly interested in John? Didn't she try to murder him in the video game? Also, John is supposed to be an asshole but in this story, he acts like the type of person who cries after swatting a fly." Olivia said as she got off of Wattpad and did something productive with her life.
Ashley giggled. "That sounds like a Tumblr fanfiction to me, I stopped going on Wattpad just because of those things."
The first two words said by people who think their opinion is correct before they go make a twenty paragraph rant about why the age of consent should be thirteen
Someone: The age of consent exists for a reason
Neck beard: Umm actually the age of consent is a useless government rule that promotes double-standards for people of different ages and I know tons of thirteen year olds that are mature enough so... *proceeds to talk for the next two hours*
