Hey. Hope you don't mind me putting this all here. I worked for Team Aqua when the 2014 Kyogre event happened. The boss paid really well, and the other grunts in that group were the most friendly people I think I've ever met. They had me really, honestly convinced that flooding the world was a desirable goal to strive and fight for, and I honestly have a lot of trouble these days with those same thought processes that they instilled in us. I must have had taken out at least 40 Magmas all on my own before it was over. When the shit hit the fan, I fled to another region and changed my name. As far as any of them know, I died or went to some prison. Sending from a burner acc behind anon because I really, really don't want to be identified.
absolute worst brand of media criticism is when people start off making a reasonable point then jump straight to “and here’s what SHOULD have happened: [something that actively makes the story worse]”
listen. this guy is the best character Pokemon’s ever introduced. his name is Larry. you have all these crazy-ass gym leaders and then there’s just just this one Normal Dude. he hasn’t slept in three days. he works a 9–5 office job and considers doing taxes fun. he wakes up and eats styrofoam on wheat toast for breakfast in the morning. he’s the only one who terastalizes his ace into a type it already has instead of a different type. his name is Larry
and then you find out that this milquetoast man
is also one of the best Pokemon battlers in Paldea
are some of the people newer to tumblr aware of the joys of theme customization on desktop? I know some ppl are just on mobile so they can’t really change things but like SO many blogs nowadays have 0 theme customization and just use the default theme and I’m beginning to wonder if they even know about the option. It’s one of the main reasons why I still use tumblr
this post is not to be mean to people for not knowing btw. i just think its good for people to know bc page customization is one of the things that is slowly disappearing from the internet and i suspect that many ppl don’t even realize its something they can do on here bc they’re so used to their only customization options being like a pfp and maybe a header image. The option to do so here is something I desperately want to preserve since its a fantastic middle ground between the bare bones profile customization of twitter and like. coding an entire webpage from scratch.
like for people who don’t know, this is what my blog looks like if you visit it on desktop, outside of the dashboard popups
desktop users who have no theme this is the life you could be living
ppl in the tags asking how to do this, or who did not even know it was an option, here’s a very quick how to:
1. choose a theme. this is the easy part, search “blog themes” or “html themes” in the tumblr search bar, there are MANY blogs out there dedicated to curating lists of free tumblr themes. Find one you like and save the code in a seperate tab. I would probably check to make sure the theme was not created too long ago, as tumblr website changes over the years have broken some older codes/themes. I would also try to find a theme with lots of customization options, as this makes it easier to make your blog totally unique looking, even if you are unfamiliar with html.
2. either go to your blog’s actual page [YOUR-URL.tumblr.com] and click on the little paint palette icon that shows up in the top right corner, OR you go to your blog’s appearance settings, there should be a button that says “edit themes”
3. once you open the blog theme editor, there should be an option to edit html in the top left corner. Select and delete ALL of the present code. Then, paste in the code of your preferred tumblr theme and hit save. You may have to exit and reenter the customization page for the full effects to take place.
4. From this point on, customize to your heart’s content! Just make sure if you are using a theme made by someone else, that you don’t accidentally remove their credits. This can’t really happen unless you are editing the html directly though, so you likely don’t have to worry.
Keep in mind, messing around with tumblr themes still takes time, even if you’re not doing it all from scratch. Think of it like decorating an empty room. It will take time and effort, and it’s not at all necessary, but it’s worth it to make your space feel more like yours.
yo i use this blog to find new themes: @theme-hunter !
go forth and make the desktop version of your blog awesome :D
They closed the Death Wendy’s over a year ago and I’m still mad about it. It was a Wendy’s located in the middle of a six-way intersection, requiring many pedestrians to cross the street 3 times in a row in order to get to it
It was one of the city’s top ten spots for car crashes, multiple people died there, and the service was terrible. I miss it dearly
you can take a random old fire emblem character named Lard from a japanese-only game called Fire Emblem: Nomenclature of the Boy Crusade and there will be somebody out there who loves them dearly and draws fan art of them every day
woke up today and immediately had to draw my boy lard
