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.

So, the only way to beat Danny DeVito is to confuse him into thinking it's always sunny?

Or to call Dayman, fighter of the Nightman.

Only if you live in Philadelphia, yes.

Classic Tumblr: the only site fucked enough to let you edit other people's posts. Try all you want, Twitter, you can’t possibly add a worse feature than that.

Wait you can edit other's posts? Are you trolling me?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

You can't edit the post on someone else's blog, but you can when reblogging it to your own. This means that anyone who rebloggs the post from you, someone who reblogged from them, or anyone else down the chain will retain your edits. It was really popular to do this to John Green.

Edit: Fixed a mistake.

Poor guy

Yeah, why him of all people?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Pop culture baby, he has a meme value on the meme stock market

If only John Green could keep his mouth shut about his favorite taste.

Absolutely was scared of him when I was younger! He was the penguin in the old Batman movies. Total nightmare fuel.

[–] TSG_Asmodeus 26 points 9 months ago

For sure, my first thought was 'well, yeah':

He legit kidnaps first born kids out their beds to kill them in the sewer. Makes perfect sense to fear him.

old Batman movies

You...you shut your mouth.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

He was also the evil dad in Matilda, maybe less scary on paper but infinitely more realistic.

The Penguin straight up kidnaps children out of their beds with the intent to drown them in Batman Returns. I can see kids fearing Danny Devito

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 6 points 9 months ago

I pictured the Penguin setting up a giant tank full of Batman Returns VHS tapes to drown children in.

Hmm, immortal Danny DeVito? yes, this is approved, what do we need to do to make it happen?

If someone old gets vampired, do they turn back young at the next feed or are they stuck at their current age?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In most vampire worlds they are stuck with the age they were bit. (IIRC.)

[–] linearchaos 3 points 9 months ago

Kinda sad. better than nothing I suppose.

[–] GratefullyGodless 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hey, if a child watched Taxi, I could see the tyke developing a healthy fear if Danny Devito. Louie was a nasty misanthrope most of the time.

[–] HootinNHollerin 3 points 9 months ago

Love that scene where he comes out of his elevated manager both to confront the guy and he’s so much shorter than him

[–] HootinNHollerin 4 points 9 months ago

The Nightman cometh and the Dayman saveth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I swear I've seen this before but with Markiplier.

This has the makings of an excellent Madlibs prompt.
