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.

Ohh so my Spy x Family ship is ok now?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

please do not the child

Shipping may be stupid, but at least it's mostly harmless. People do plenty of stupid shit that hurts people every day and I don't have the spoons to waste calling out harmless stupid shit.

Put all the rules in place.

They were made for a reason.

When you were young And your heart was an open book You used to say, "ship and let live" (You know you did You know you did You know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we're livin' Makes you give in and cry

Say ship and let die!

What does AU stand for? (Rule 64)

Yes.

AU -- a world where everything has changed. You get "Coffee Shop AUs" where the characters meet in a coffee shop (you could get that from the title), "High School AUs" where (for example) Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and Neville all go to a non-magical high school, along with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle, "Pirate AUs" where the characters are all pirates.......... you get the idea, right?

This is slightly different from AT -- alternate timeline, where the world is the same but the timeline has changed. Hitler might have won WWII, or Grindelwald might have conquered Europe, or The Romanians might not have been overthrown by The Volturi, or Anne Shirley might have been adopted by The Barrys instead of The Cuthberts.............

A lot of people use AU and AT interchangeably (I am one of them) but they are supposed to have very specific meanings.

My Kink Is Proper Application of Title Case Rules, Stupid as They Are

Now they say "don't yuck someone else's yum". Same concept though

I thought they meant everything that exists has been shipped as in delivered somewhere and was fairly confused because drugs were the only thing I could think of that someone may be surprised have been delivered by an actual shipping company

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They even ship entire ships using larger ships.

Well that's just confusing as all get out.

When I was younger, I was told the difference between a boat and a ship was that "a ship can carry a boat, but a boat can't carry a ship"

So what am I supposed to call a ship that can carry not one ship but three ships?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A relation-ship.

Allright, I'll get my coat.

I never questioned the origin. I feel dumb for not realizing that

When people put two (or more) characters together romantically/sexually in a relationship. Example being Hermione and harry in harry potter. Some "fandoms" can get real insufferable about "ships"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Oh, so that's what it is. I was getting really confused because I only know shipping as sending packages and stuff and was wondering (besides environmental effects) what's wrong with it.

go to the ben 10 fandom and ask about Bwen

It’s when you pay a courier to move things from one place to another. I’m thinking OP likes a major courier like FedEx or UPS and is tired of getting flak for it.

Well when you compare them to Amazon or Hermes, can you blame me?
