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.

It’s a crime that these books aren’t ten times more well known.

Aren’t they pretty much like the most popular 2000s kids fantasy except for H*rry Potter

Fantasy was just super popular in the early 2000s and adjacent decades. There were a lot of franchises vying for second place in various media including Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings, The Series of Unfortunate Events, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, Redwall, Twilight, and Game of Thrones. I would even add things like The Never Ending Story, Labyrinth, and The Dark Crystal. I am sure I am missing a bunch too.
