Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

In zombie media, the other reason they find a vet instead of a human doctor is that it ups the drama by showing how desperate they are to find any medical help, even if it's suboptimal.
It also means that the people are being treated with meds meant for animals, not for humans. That means the audience / reader never knows if the meds are going to be effective, or if the dosage is going to be correct.
