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.

Both are creative writing sites with large/primary focuses on fanfiction. AO3 (Archive Of Our Own) allows for works depicting rape, incest, and pedophilia. IIRC Wattpad never did.

I'd describe it as Ao3 has a broader set of terms of service and permits a far wider range of stories to be told

Would you also describe Johnny Sins as an experienced, award winning actor whos played a wide array of roles? Cuz its true but...

Do you think awards should be limited to The Academy?

That only pearl clutching, blue haired old women should get to tell us what is acceptable in our society?

Before the pedants and so on start asking if I want to legalise child porn and snuff films, no.

But this is a fictional site where people write stories. They don't act out stories and they don't make films of the stories (at least not on the site), and I am not advocating for that.

If people don't want to read them, they can go back to story time with mother. But that doesn't mean they get to tell me what I can and cannot read.

Also, if Johnny Sims wants to make his money entertaining people, then yeah - I say more power to him. It's more honest than some of the actors in Hollywood.

pearl clutching

blue haired

In my experience these have been two pretty distinct groups with almost zero intersection.

Who am I thinking of then?

Oh! Blue rinse!

I know there was a blue involved somewhere :)

(And not just the films that Johnny Sims was in. Fnar!!!)

You were right though, ladies with blue rinse are often called "blue haired" ❤️

Older women with gray hair are sometimes referred to as "blue haired" https://uponbeauty.com/why-do-so-many-old-ladies-have-blue-hair/

But what? Why wouldn't that describe his career?
