Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Yeah, if someone asks why a character knows a thing and the author points out that the parts of the character that were under the surface of the page or got cut because they weren't interesting are because he spent his teens as a cliche theater kid and had a much older boyfriend who survived the Reagan genocide before becoming a special forces guy involved in the alien conspiracy
Or a fan asks why that character did a slightly off thing that doesn't make sense without context, and the author explains how she reflexively avoids touching her friends not because she's traumatized but because she's internalized narratives of lesbians as creepy or predators or something and thinks she's being a bad friend if she cuddles with a straight girl she thinks is hot.
That's not what this ever is though
