Here are two non-obvious things about the Tumblr UI that I feel like I can make more clear with some images. As of July 17, 2022:
links to posts on blog themes:
There's a link to view a post on the user's custom blog theme—if they have a custom theme, and have their blog accessible to logged-out users, of course—as the first item in the ⋯ ("meatballs") menu. (This used to be the dog-ear corner at the top right corner of the post, if you remember that.)
Like any normal link, you can control/command click this menu item to open it in a new tab, or right click it to copy the link URL.
links to individual reblogs:
The header areas highlighted in green here—specifically their empty areas—are links directly to the individual reblogs they're the headers for. This is also true in the mobile apps!
You can control/command click them to open them in a new tab.
You can sort of right-click them to copy the link URL... but only if you have post timestamps turned on (it's in your tumblr settings in the dashboard section near the top), and only if you right click on the timestamp, or actually the dashed green area. (I wish this could be true for the whole header, but it's kind of hard for technical web browser limitation reasons.)
The above statements are true without XKit!
Now: by default, the areas highlighted in red and orange are links to the blogs in question. The "restore links to individual posts" option in Tweaks in XKit Rewritten (check out @addons!) does two things:
- It changes the red-highlighted links to point directly to the reblog in question, just like their surrounding green area. This doesn't really add any functionality; you could already access that, as just discussed!
- It changes the orange-highlighted link to point to the immediately preceding reblog (i.e. the one "prev tags" refers to). This definitely does add functionality, since there was literally no way to step backward through the reblog chain otherwise!
For the record, what I would probably have done if I were Staff or if I had been the one to write the XKit Rewritten tweak without anyone else's input is:
Oddly specific kinds of fanart I am ALWAYS a slut for
1. Stained glass window/church murals of characters
2. In-universe magazine covers
3. Redraws of scenes from canon in the style of a real Netflix show or video game
4. Drawing characters with way cooler outfits than they have in canon for the sake of cool outfits
5. Character design breaking down each layer and piece of a character's outfit
6. Mimicking historical art styles (e.g. vintage posters, Victorian portraits)
7. Sprawling landscape paintings of the setting that you can barely even tell is fanart because its just a beautiful landscape
Also, “assault weapons” are rarely used in crime, and the 1994 bill also included handguns and shotguns.
This is my version of being a grumpy old man.
