Social Media


These posts were made to the now defunct NATM Facebook.[1] These are a bit more general than the marketing for BOTS or SOTT, in that they're for the franchise as a whole, not the film specifically.

Tumblr

The museummovies Tumblr blog was unique compared to the other active social medias at the time. Tumblr's userbase was openly queer-friendly and fans of surrealism - and the marketing team took advantage of this by making surreal content and stuff the shippers could enjoy. This was mostly GIFs and short videos.

The blog was active from December 2015 to November 2016. This section will only host the Tumblr-unique posts, as a lot of the earlier posts were crossposted and are already archived on other pages.
