theme two: airlock by ebrothemes

live previews: (one) (two) / install: (github)

this theme was designed around wanting a simple theme with only 2 colors and options for a couple photos in the sidebars, that also supports photosets with a carousel lightbox (ideal for gifsets) and has a night mode toggle. i'm really happy with it, and it definitely works a lot better than my past themes/pages. it should work well for both text-heavy and photo-heavy blogs.

features:

responsive

NPF post support

day/night mode toggle

2 custom colors (day/night mode colors can be different)

540px posts (option for 400px, 450px, and 500px, but it was designed at and works best with 540px)

custom text like and reblog buttons

optional photo in right sidebar

8 body font options with even more customization options for font size and heading fonts

up to 4 custom links

carousel lightbox for photosets

Ocular — Version 3

Preview // User Guide // More Info & Install

your favorite sidebar theme just got an upgrade, babeyyy

I went to update Ocular to make it NPF post-compliant and then my hand slipped and I redesigned the whole thing lmao. here's a brief update about Ocular 3; if you're looking for a full list of changes between versions 2 and 3, click the "Read More" below)

Ocular comes with the following features:

Colors: easily change the color scheme of your sidebar and posts using any colors you want

Post sizes: 400px, 500px, 540px, 600px, 700px

Sidebar: can be on the left, right, or above the posts. pick from a list of sidebar sizes, header image heights, and avatar shapes

Fonts: 20 different fonts, sizes 13px to 18px

Background: solid, gradient, full-size image or repeating image

Links: choose either regular navigation or drop-down navigation. unlimited custom links (visit the help desk FAQ for a tutorial) and ability to rename home, ask, submit, and archive links

Endless scroll, custom ask box text, Tumblr's full-width controls and search bar, optional header, avatar, and favicon images

if you already have Ocular installed, version 3 should be coming at you as soon as the update passes the theme garden. if you installed this theme with GitHub, you'll have to re-install manually.

now let's get to the fun stuff. what's new in version 3?

wow, do I have some updates for you!

1. goodbye color schemes, hello post background and text colors

you can now directly control the color of the posts rather than relying on color schemes to do it. want your posts to be a very specific shade of navy? all yours, buddy. go wild (make sure it's readable tho)

2. hello, color schemes! wait I thought we got rid of that guy

a lot of the color schemes I made became redundant now that the new post background/text color options exist. if you were married to the old color schemes, all of them can be recreated using those options. so the new color scheme options are as follows:

"My colors" — uses the colors you picked for post background/text

"Light preset" and "dark preset" — sets the posts to white with black text, or off-black with white text

"Translucent" — uses the colors you choose for post background/text, but makes the post backgrounds semi-transparent. there are NINE different translucent color schemes, ranging from 90% (only slightly see-through) to 10% (VERY see through)

3. navigation dropdown option

you can either use the sidebar links like they were before, or you can turn them into a cute little dropdown (helpful if you have lots of links or links with long titles!) you can enable this using the "use dropdown navigation" setting. you can also customize the label for the dropdown using the "dropdown menu label" setting. for instance, the dropdown on my blog currently says "oooh you wanna click me"

4. RIP google fonts I always hated your load times

decided to stop using Google Fonts and instead I'm providing the font files directly in the code. this will help speed up load times drastically when using custom fonts, plus I don't have to use Google. win-win! there's quite a bit of coverage overlap with the old fonts, but some of them that were too similar to each other got the ax. I also added all of the system fonts as options (hit classics like Arial, Georgia, and Comic Sans MS are now available TO YOU!)

5. more layout, sizing, and spacing options

the sidebar used to be either on the center-left, center-right, or above the posts; now it can go in the top-left or top-right! you can now control the border radius on the posts and sidebar. the header height, sidebar width, and post spacing all have additional options.

6. some options have been renamed for additional clarity

"background color 1" -> "background color"

"background color 2" -> "gradient background color"

"background" -> "background style"

"font override" -> "use body font everywhere"

"title" -> "sidebar title"

"description" -> "sidebar description"

"ask box text" -> "custom HTML above ask box"

7. removed some options

you win some, you lose some. I removed the uppercase sidebar links, theme credit, and inline media spacing options, mostly for redundancy reasons or because they produced unclear results.

8. as previously stated, now NPF-compliant

Ocular was ALMOST compliant with Tumblr's new post format, but had a few tweaks that needed to be ironed out. they're now ironed.

9: now user-friendly right out of the box

I updated the default color and content options, so new users installing this theme will have a much easier time using and customizing it immediately. no more ugly ass green background!

10. and finally, new JS

I had to rewrite some of the javascript for this theme, which turned into me rewriting ALL of the javascript. doing so meant that I could eliminate dependencies on third-party JS libraries and run the whole thing on plain JS. that should improve load times!!

bonus: custom CSS can do some nifty stuff now

want to change the size of your avatar? you can do that now! just do this to your Advanced > Add custom CSS section

super helpful if you're using the Avatar shape: Uncropped setting and you need your image to be a specific size (like a pixelated GIF)

for more info, check out the Ocular user guide. thanks for reading my updates!! hope you all have a fantastic start to your 2024 ❤️

INVALID IN THE RPC!

krp – this is not mnet. yes even blogs who don't call themselves krps but only have korean faceclaims and margot robbie.

500px gifs – grow up.

taylor swift – she’s too busy re-recording her exes to be in your mafia au.

reverse harems but they all have the same jawline – diversify your jaw economy.

bios that include “based on me fr” and that’s scary

characters named “aerisynne” or “kaelith v’yralyn” – you pressed your forehead on the keyboard and dubbed it fantasy.

writing starters in the tone of a haunted victorian widow – you are 22 and online.

ocs who are “a little mean but worth it” – they are not.

people who say “multi-muse” but all the muses are just variations of hot knife man – just admit it’s one oc in different hats.

writing “muse is in a mood 😈” and then logging off – what mood??? what muse???

muse smells like “blood and bergamot” – bro get some soap

oc pages with 17 aesthetics but no plot ideas. ok ig

“she’s not like other girls” but she is. she is exactly like them. and thats fine.

characters who speak 15 languages but have never left ohio.

“never been touched” but is inexplicably good at sex...?

“they don’t trust easily” but trauma dumps on strangers in their starters

plotting a slow burn… and burning out after two replies. i'll jump

thinking you’re writing a morally gray character but they’re just mean. bland and mean. yeuck

making your oc's trauma worse every time you’re sad or to one up other characters

muses named luca

I make them in Canva! The dimensions are 2000px width x 500px height. And I source pretty much all the pics from Pinterest.

If anyone wanna play around with their dash look the same way, what I did was install Tempermonkey extension and after brute-forcing it a bit cause I might be familiar with HTML, but I don't speak a single lick of java, this is the code I ended up with:

"use strict"; // ==UserScript== // @name TumblrDash // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 2025-04-07 // @description try to take over the world! // @author You // @match https://www.tumblr.com/* // @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=tumblr.com // @grant window.focus // ==/UserScript== var styleSheet = "" + ".NmEJh.pPM64 {" + "--border-radius:5px;" + "}" + ".xhGbM {" + "background-color: transparent;" + "}" + ".k31gt small {" + "font-size: 20px;" + "color: #81956C;" + "}" + ".k31gt {" + "text-align:justify;" + "}" + ""; (function() { var s = document.createElement('style'); s.type = "text/css"; s.innerHTML = styleSheet; (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(s); })();

.NmEJh.pPM64 - makes the icons have only 5px border radius, so they are a bit rounded squares instead of circles (set to 0px, if you want squares)

.xhGbM - makes the png transparency actually transparent instead of this light overlay that happens in 7/12 tumblr themes

.k31gt small - makes small font big and green; delete this line if you're not prejudiced against small font, unlike me

.k31gt - makes the post text justified, instead of left aligned; delete if you do not care for the alignment

IMPORTANT FOR NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS

SCAM ALERT⚠️‼️

There are bots/scammers replying to photos with promises of buying your work, asking to be DMed.

Three that I have come across in one day are @rogerwil01 @ericcampbell0 and @coralengineerbeliever.

The former solicited a response on a photo post of mine. And the easiest way to know it's scam bots is how it responds to other messages. Another bot responded to the solicitation that rogerwil01 sent with an affirmative, and rogerwil01 sent one back with no idea that the response was not from the blog owner or copyright holder of the photo. These bots are not concerned with copyright, but an actual art dealer very much would be.

They promise naive photographers money, basically. They only target photos that are under 1000 notes, and often go after amateurs with 1-10 notes. These are likely seen as easy targets. Here are some examples of the types of messages they spam.

Taylor Baumgartner is a real person. She's an amateur child photographer based in Missouri. But this blog is not her. These mimic actual people to seem legit. A big giveaway is that the url is a totally different name, and a man's one at that. The number on the end is also a hint. These blogs usually have one or two posts of their "original photos" to seem active and real. The tags are usually unrelated or irrelevant. A seaside landscape is not abstract, for example. Nor is it art, exactly.

Also, these accounts have a script and send identical messages, like so...

Here is two bots talking:

A bot solicited another scammer/bot's photo post. Hilarity ensues. I wish I had screenshotted them doing it on my post. But the moment I called rogerwil01 out as being a scammer, he promptly deleted his initial comment and 2 replies, leaving my 2 replies and 1 from another bot. It then blocked me.

Here's a slightly different scammer. This one mimics an actual artist, but the blog title name is not the same as the name of the artist on the posts that it is reposting. This bot has scraped various real artists' social media accounts, including the prominent Russian artist, Alexey Vaulin, whose likeness the bot has stolen, and the flower paintings and captions are scraped from artist Noemi Cardoso.

And this is the tactic:

Same idea, just way more words. A big giveaway is soliciting random classical art reblogs. Like this piece by Gentileschi, from 1623. Hilarious. This is not original poster. Again, a huge red flag.

It means that there is literally no human brain behind this. Any human would see that post and know immediately this is a repost of a famous painting by Orazio Gentileschi, not an original piece for sale by OP.

Also, you can see here a DM sent by an interested target (or another bot?) (@trancesthings) seeking more information to get some legitimacy of the scammer. The immediate response from the bot is that they are not active on tumblr (🚩) and to message them instead on WhatsApp (🚩🚩🚩!). No legit company or agent would ever do this. And when asked their name, they would reply. Not say "WhatsApp me!"

Dear fellow photographers, never, ever believe someone soliciting you on tumblr.

A legit contact will send a DM, not a public reply on a post. And they will offer lots of information that proves their legitimacy. But in general, nobody with money is contacting a potential client or artists via tumblr. It's one thing to connect with fellow artists here, but art dealers and publishers will not be scouting tumblr. I would be incredibly suspicious of anybody telling you they want to buy your work or give you money. Period.

If you want your photos to be seen by legitimate agencies and businesses, there are much better websites for that. Including Instagram. (Although that is full of scammers too.) Flickr, 500px, and various stock imagery sites are more legit.

The online photography world is absolutely packed with predators looking to prey on naive amateurs. It's bad enough when they attempt to devalue your work and offer "credit" or "exposure" as payment. I don't know what the deal with these tumblr scams are as I don't engage them, but 100% they are not legit.

Judging by the radio silence from the blogs that received this spam, nobody really believes it and that's awesome. But just in the off-chance there's a young person here posting their photos, and thinks it's a legit offer, I'm posting this warning. Do not engage with these bots.

Delete their replies, report as spam, and block.
