Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. 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.

They do tend to have multiple traits in common with me. However, I like my favorite characters the same way that I like poison dart frogs: something not so alien to look at that it causes disgust, but also something so simple and cute that you'd never guess it is incredibly destructive if mishandled even a little, even by chance. Something safely behind thick glass where I can observe and it can never touch me.

Were I given the opportunity to meet any of them, I would have to genuinely weigh the likelihood and specific flavor of danger, and most of the agreement would be out of unbearable morbid curiosity.
