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:

Uh, yes it is. Throwing old hag into oven, wolf eating grandmas and little pigs, stepmothers trying to murder their stepdaughters and a lot more. Children's stories are full of fucked up stuff.
Even recent ones (movie in this case); In Frozen 2 the king murdered the leader of Northuldra which is shown in the movie.
Exactly. Children's books can cover gristly subjects just fine, the thing that makes the difference is the tone and presentation.
Witches boiled him into a stew and ate him up with some buttered toast = fine for a children's book
Talking about how the witches spent weeks slowly cutting pieces off him while still alive = NOT okay!
