Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Word count requirements are bullshit. I say this as a college grad.
It's just to train us to do arbitrary busywork so we will be more useful workers.
You want 600 words? Here's a dictionary, keep the change.
The point of the word count goal is to teach you both how to communicate your thoughts in detail and how to edit yourself so that your writing is concise.
Exactly.
The restraints are meant to challenge you to develop skills.
Kinda like how some people play games on hard mode! Or permadeath!
Different constraints force different strategies, different methods.
