This comic makes me so stupid emotional. She might have never known.

Concept: survival-horror tabletop RPG set in one of those fleshy hell-worlds, except the Flesh Hell Planet is a. basically benevolent, but b. deeply incompetent. Like, it's not one of those "theoretically benevolent but thinks it knows what's good for you better than you do" or "trying to violently assimilate everything because it thinks that being made a part of itself is ontologically good" deals – it really does want to help its human inhabitants, and it's willing to do so on humanity's own terms. The trouble is that it doesn't really get humanity, its capacity for both receptive and expressive communication in ways that individual humans can understand is extremely limited, and also it's just plain not very good at a lot of things, to the extent that even when it does fully understand what's needed it often fucks it up in some bizarre way.

Happy Mermay, everyone!

Meet some special mermaids (snailmaids? mersnails?) who'll help you on your journey!

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually  die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

Okay Rejuv theory time:

So Zetta is a Solosis originally, right? He’s supposedly a failed clone of Melia formed from a Solosis who, while possessing limited power (ability to create Rifts) was considered to be a failure and utilized as an admin.

So my theory is: Melia herself is a failed clone, too.

Melia knows she isn’t Maria. Melia was also given to Jenner by Xen. Madame X seeks to reclaim Melia, yet does not keep her and raise her herself, but rather, gives her to another to raise her, organically, outside of her direct influence. Zetta, a proto experiment kept by Xen, a test, who failed. Melia, a second experiment placed in different conditions, with different power, a different appearance, raised for the purpose of being used.

So if Zetta was a Pokémon- a Solosis, a relatively weak Pokémon in and of itself- then is it possible that Melia was something else, too?

Vitus built the Marble Mansion in hopes of finding Meloetta. He placed three of his children within the Unown Dimension, yet kept Maria. Why would Vitus need Meloetta? And if he found it, what would he have done with it?

My theory: much like Zetta is a clone using a Solosis as a base, Melia is a clone using Meloetta as a base.

Melia has more power than Zetta. Her name sounds like Meloetta. She looks similar in appearance to Meloetta. Her focus on Normal-types, even (all small, inconsequential details, yeah, but I swear I’m going somewhere with this).

Yet she remains a failed clone, with Genesis Syndrome corrupting her.

But if Melia isn’t the base material, then who is?

Madame X. Injured, Madame X— Maria, Marianette, one of them— cloned herself in an attempt to make and overpower her copy, gaining their power to heal herself. Zetta failed, but she couldn’t dispose of him. Melia failed, which she remains unaware of.

This is a draft, i have more thoughts and need to polish them, but here’s like. The rough draft version, as I sit in a cabin, no power, flooding outside, and like, three slices of ham for sustenance.
