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.

That's some chaotic good fae magic happening.

Literally stole the name, but only because you wanted it gone XD

Dude went dumpster diving for a name. It's not theft if they're throwing it away. One woman's trash is another man's treasure.

I see it more like this:

Stealing someone's name, even a deadname? Is your pharmacist Yubaba from Spirited Away?

Wonder if it's the same Fae I accidentally gave away my attention to.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When your pharmacist is even more of a fairy than you are, LOL!

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is it cool to say that? I always thought that was a pejorative term.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I was a little nervous to make that joke, not gonna lie, but I gambled that folks would realize I was just punning about fae stealing a feminine person's name and not trying to be mean.

I got it :) made me smile.

Got a chuckle out of my. IMO good comedy is very much about intent. You can say something offensive and legitimately funny, that's comedy. You can also say something extremely offensive/racist and actually mean it though the delivery may be kinda funny. Not comedy.

Context.

You talkin about the magic and whimsy of someone?

Or you trying to belittle them for not being toxicly masculine enough?

Context.

And then all the pharmacists clapped

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Extra lols if he took their last name too

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This would be a remarkable cover for straight up identity theft.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

I suddenly had the scene flash through my head: OP stands in a dimly lit and smoky cantina holding a gun pointed someone sitting at a table and says, "You stole my identity!". Antonio Banderas setting at the table with his feet up, drops his feet to the ground and leaves forward so that his face comes into the light and he says intensely, "It was not theft! I only became the you that you could not be!".
OP says, "That's unfortunate because that me is dead.", and pulls the trigger.

I don't know why it has to be Antonio Banderas, but it does.

Also, as bad as the idea is, it's still 10 times better than the premise behind Face Off.

I see the epidemic of idiots believing bullshit stories is a Lemmy problem as well as a reddit problem.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, I can see this happening based on people I’ve met in my own life. Bullshit is not a synonym for a highly probable lie.

[–] grvtrkr84@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I really hope this is true. Love it for both of them if it is

This ain't 4chan. Users actually expect the barest hint of decency here.
