Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:

I am still stuck on "whomst".
...and loving it! ❤️😁
It’s grammatically incorrect here and makes my eye twitch.
You wouldn’t say “whom among us” so you also wouldn’t say “whomst among us.”
You can use it as an object of a verb or preposition though. Like:
“Whomst dost thou hunt?” Or “Those from whomst we flee doth terrify!”
And still somehow, "whilst" just sounds like a huffy neckbeard in a fresh coat of Axe. 🤢
