I just made a new sideblog and found out this setting (found under "Edit Appearance") (now found under "Blog Settings") is disabled by default.
Edit: Tumblr settings are unpredictable and devious. This may not be disabled by default for you. People have also said that their themes have been removed. Please look to the notes if experiencing complications.
This means that ALL new blogs will NOT have a [username].tumblr.com page. Not only that, but they will not have any themes besides the mobile-default.
As someone who really likes custom themes and Tumblr still having a fully customizable profile page, please turn this on!
You can make a website for your tumblr blog that is entirely your own!
Finding posts on your URL.tumblr.com page is much easier due to the ability to use your Archive and url.tumblr.com/tagged/[tag] pages!
Visiting your mutual's tumblr pages will become much more fun if they do the same! I used to always associate blogs with the themes they had, but that's sadly not possible anymore :(
If Tumblr themes die out, it will truly be an end of an era for the internet, and the future will hold only mobile-orientated, endless-scroll design devoid of personality.
Even if you don't like themes, this is a move that almost destroys Tumblr's origin as a blogging website and showcases the takeover of social-media-sameness.
Having your own URL and custom theme is fun! Try it today!!!
Edit: I focused on promoting custom themes but I do encourage people to simply turn on this setting for the URL. You can pick a free tumblr theme or even leave on the tumblr mobile-orientated default!
Also sorry I didn't think of this until now, but there are versions of this post in the reblogs without the colored text, with extra information, with how to find this setting, and troubleshooting why it might not be working!
My MCR-inspired TNTduo zombie apocalypse AU that was SUPPOSED to be a Demolition Lovers AU that got away from me has taken a long as fuck time to write (two years to publish and I started writing a few months before that) but I've finally finished posting the draft '''''as-is'''''. (I did edit. Just a little. I couldn't help myself. Warning: it's still pretty messy.)
It clocks in at 42,378 words, approximately 4x longer than anything else I've ever written, fanfiction or not, posted or not. Rated Teen, Major Character Death (but afterlife), CW: religious imagery/themes and a lot of killing.
Wilbur and Quackity try to survive in a world that hates them. They fail. Or maybe they succeed. Along the way, there's zombies and kisses and murder.
This is a story about a lot of things, including: Hell & souls; love, survival, and loving yourself; funerals and murder and mutual hatred with the world.
Do to accidentally misspelling "billion" as "bouillon", I realized I had to check AO3 and I couldn't find *any* fics that were tagged with both Dungeon Meshi and Kill Six Billion Demons. Wh
ace attorney posting is making me think about nick and maya ouguhghgngng my number one dynamic duo since I was a kid... they have that kind of deep love that transcends all labels. "relationship so close it blurs the line between romantic and platonic" kind of bond. arhgngnghghnnbg
Idk who needs to hear this, but there's nothing wrong with wanting a purely platonic-sexual relationship with no romance. Yes, even if the person who wants it is a straight man.
edit: reblogs are off because radblr/TERFs/excursionists are passing around a pathetic retort like it's gold. [okay it's been a bit they're back on. all aspec people are queer <2]
