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.

It really bothers me that they're using the hashtag to indicate "here's the beginning of an independent clause they isn't the very first sentence."

Sometimes people reblog and add tags like these. It was explained to me as "the person have something to say about the topic -- but not really".

Tumblr m8, It's how they communicate, blame the shit site not the user

What is Tigress from? I though they were the 'tiger who came for tea' before reading that.

Also I bet Tony has wanted to eviscerate more than one sticky space invading screaming child in his time.

Tigress is from Kung Fu Panda.

Is ryttu3k OK? Someone better check in on him.

This chains nicely with wife thinking "I Bet He's Thinking About Other Women" meme, with the above being what the man is thinking of

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

imagine that guy, there would be no mental capacity available to think about women when he's preoccupied with bullshit like this going through his head 🤣

Gotta admire his in-depth analysis though. Hopefully he puts that mental effort to other, more productive things, too.

Hobbes has canonically eaten a kid

I fucking apologize?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Which comic does this happen?

Hobbes is canonically a stuffed tiger that only comes to life on Calvin's head smh these people don't know the lore

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's absolutely not canon.

When an interviewer talked about Hobbes being a creation of Calvin's imagination, he said:

"That’s the assumption that adults make because nobody else sees him, sees Hobbes, in the way that Calvin does".

He specifically dodges the question of whether or not Hobbes is a stuffed animal or not.

Isn't there also an instance of a kid, maybe Cindy, playing along with Hobbes like he's real? Am I making that up? I don't think we see him as a real tiger with her though.

[–] hactar42@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

He was having a tea party with Susie. They do show him as real, but only when Susie has her back turned. Just perfect with his keeping it ambiguous.
