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.

My dad is a Tim Curry doppleganger. When I told him I will never watch Rocky Horror again due to that resemblance, he proceeded to show me a photo album of him cosplaying Frank-N-Furter.

Got nothing but love for Tim Curry's work. Sadly just the mention of his name evokes images of my dad wearing women's lingerie. Hopefully some of you find it as funny as my wife does.

If that was my dad, I'd be rejoicing that he'd done at least one thing more interesting than brewing beer.

That’s awesome that he embraces it.

He's not dead. He just escaped to the one place that hasn't yet been corrupted by capitalism.

Can't a guy ever go on vacation after escaping capitalism? 🙄

Shit. He's still alive?! Who am I thinking died then???

[–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

I guess it's because of this:

Curry has used a wheelchair since having a major stroke in July 2012

I thought he would die quickly too.

That's a fake Tim Curry responding as him. The real Tim Curry has been in real bad shape for the last several years.

He's working again doing voice work, things seem to have improved somewhat
