Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
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.

Folks without siblings think it’s like a built in best friend, which it is, but it’s one forged in blood, insults, and lies
Exactly - All best friends are forged from blood, insults, and lies, and siblings are no exception.
It's like if you went up to a best mate like, "Hey, Best Friend"
Idk it’s less a best friend and more a really long built trauma bond in my experience
"Hey"
"The fuck you want?"
This is the way
"Sup asshole."
"Hey. Wait, are you wearing my shirt??"
And then whoever was wearing the stolen item fled the scene.
We call each other bro. The sister is also a bro
I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. Cause we're all dudes. Yeah!
Dude is a gender neutral term. It knows no age limit or maximum. It rejects no profession, it passes no judgement, but embraces all. It is all encompassing. Everyone that wishes to be a dude need not do anything other than reach insides themselves and embrace their dudeness. For we are all dudes.
I was gonna ask if you fucked dudes. But then I saw your user name, so never mind. Anyone out of the loop can just Google it.
Back when we lived together:
[noncommital grunt]
[noncommital grunt but with a girl's voice]
Now that we live far apart:
"You good?"
"Yea."
[positive grunt]
[positive grunt but with a girl's voice]
Usually some derogatory term. Sometimes I go out of the way to find something in another language or old English.
It's not about saying hello. It's about mind games.
"Hey, you flippy bint!"
"I... Uhh, hi?"
I’ve called a lot of people bro, but never my brother lmao
I've had to tell my daughter not to call me 'bro.' Not putting up with that.
We just use names
I like name-adjacent nonsense words. Basically the kind of made-up-on-the-spot lazy single-use nicknames you might use for a pet. Like I’m pretending I forgot your name but I’m pretty sure there’s a B in it somewhere, so you’re Bubba today.
My Dad tries to encourage us to call our step-sibling Bro, and it ends up feeling weird because of exactly this - siblings just don't talk like this.
I like to think of an older sister calling her little brother, whore. That seems fitting and hilarious, as I imagine a little boy responding only in fortnite dances.
for me it's either a curt exchange of mutually understood grunts, or
"DEAREST SIBLING, how wonderful to see you! How are--"
"fucking stop."
It's amazing how little effort it takes to piss off a sibling. You know exactly what buttons to push. Other times it's like they've built up a tolerance to your bullshit so it doesn't work. One time I farted in my brothers face four times while he was playing on his Nintendo DS and he only acknowledged me because of the amount of farts. "How the hell can you fart that many times in a row?!"
As someone with brothers, how do we greet each other? With violence.
I think I've called everyone bro except for my actual brother.
I call her sis and she calls me little bro ¯\(ツ)/¯
As my family is Vietnamese, not only do I adress my own elder siblings "brother" and "sister", I even adress people like that that aren't my actual siblings at all. Unless they're older, in which case they're "uncle" and "aunt".
Although, I also grew up without my siblings around and am more removed in aged from them than they are from each other, so there is kind of a distance that a lot of siblings don't have.
my brother does in fact fall me bro bro, and i regularly call him bro
this gives Folgers incest ad vibes
Fucking I wish, me and my brother stopped talking after we fought so much as kids and now that we're adults every time we meet it's like awkward conversation trying to rekindle something that was never there
Sorry to hear that. Must have been some pretty bad fights. Me and my brother (I am one year older) fought a lot when we was kids but eventually we grew out of it
I say Hello Sister. I also say hello mother or father too. My family is weird though.
Greeting, paternal figure.
It always annoys me that people call each other by name in movies.
Yeah, it's so you know who the characters are, but who actually does that in real life?
Imagine you'reblind and a new scene starts, and you dont know what characters are on set. You dont know who walks in halfway through the scene.
Helps a lot announcing every character in this way.
Noob where's my controller
I call my sister "lil sis" even tho she is way older than me, maybe I am just stupid 💀
I've called her a "black sticky same gender substance" as a greeting more than once
We are out there!
I call my youngest sister 'lil sis'. But then she mangled saying 'big brother' one day and it came out as 'big bug' and that was way into adulthood. It used to always be 'big brother' until that one fateful day.
"The fuck are you doing here‽"
That's pretty much how some Asians call their siblings
I think a lot of this weird writing comes from anime and manga where they translate it like this from Japanese
