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.

It is a single sentence, and it is not a run on sentence.
It also deviates from the typical rule of never starting a sentence with 'and'.
But, within this context, it works, because it directly following the previous comment.
Oh, beginning the sentence with ellipsis?
That is literally a stylized way of indicating more of a pause than a comma.
Marylin Monroe wrote that way, so did Desmond Tutu, so did Shirley Temple ... I happen to be fond of it as well.
