Hey fellow creators! So, as some folks may have recently become aware, Tumblr posts with external links don’t show up in relevant tags (as detailed in this post). IE, if you post a Steven Universe picture and tag it “Steven Universe” and there’s an external link in the post, it won’t actually show up in the “Steven Universe” tag! This is very frustrating! What if I make a post and want to link to my Twitter in the description? What if I want to link people to my online store when I post a piece of art? What if I want to link to a YouTube video and still have it show up under the relevant tags I put into the post?
Hold on to your butts kids cuz here’s how we cheat the system.

The thing about Tumblr’s Anti-Linking nonsense works is that it only blocks external links. Internal links are fine. So if you wanted to post a link to another Tumblr post, or someone’s Tumblr blog, you’re good. But if you wanted to link to your Twitter page or something, you’re screwed. So, all we gotta do is make your external link into a Tumblr link. Sounds weird. I know. But here’s how it works.
First, go to your Tumblr blog. Hit the “Edit Theme” tab.
In the theme editor sidebar, scroll all the way to the bottom, the “Page” section. (Here’s what mine looks like- I already have a few of these set up)
Hit “Add a Page”, and this window will pop up. By default it’s set to be a Standard Page. Hit the dropdown and select “redirect”.
For this example, let’s say I want to link to my Twitter page. I’ll name the page “Twitter” (this is what the redirect URL will end up being- IE yourblogname.tumblr.com/Twitter), and insert my Twitter URL under the “Redirect To” tab. Leave “Show a link to this page” turned off. (Unless you want the link to show up on your blog, in which case, turn it on. Do what you want, I’m not your mom)
Hit “Save”, and your new page should now show up on your Page list!
And done! So now, let’s say I wanted to use the new link in the text portion of a post. Simply use the Tumblr redirect link instead of the direct URL! As a test, I linked to my Twitter in a test post, using the redirect link instead of the direct link, and there it is in the tag! Success!
I recommend making a Redirect Page for any external links you’ll be using frequently. I like to post links to my webcomic/Twitter in posts fairly often, but doing that made me take a pretty big hit since my posts wouldn’t show up in tags. With this method, I can keep the external links, and have stuff show up when I tag it! Workarounds are fun!
Here’s a masterpost including all episodes of American Horror Story! For people on mobile devices – there might be an ad placed on top of the videoplayer, look for the big X to click away the ad and the videolplayer will appear! If any of the links are broken please direct/instantmessage me.
Weird how opening spotify in a web browser with a decent ad blocker allows you to skip ads just like would happen if you had premium. Sure hope no one takes advantage of that.
Sure hope nobody modifies the hosts file in C:Windowssystem32driversetc to block Spotify ads in the app…

Imagine how you might feel if your wildest and most wonderful fantasies were brought to life. That’s probably how a child would feel if their drawings of strange and wondrous characters were turned into real-life plush toys, which is exactly what Budsies does.
Budsies takes children’s drawings and reinterprets them as 16-inch-tall hypoallergenic plush toys – but they’ll take playful adults’ drawings, too.
NO DON’T GIVE THIS TO TUMBLR USERS THIS IS A GRAVE MISTAKE
CAN PEOPLE OF ALL AGES DO THIS
BECAUSE IMAGINE IF AN ARTIST WANTED A PLUSH OF THEIR OC
A dataminer on Twitter has been providing us with details of how certain rarities work in the Ultra Space, but he’s not a graphic designer so here’s his data presented by me in a more easy-to-understand form. :>
Okay, so I’m sure a lot of you guys are bummed out by Emuparadise taking down their rom collection, I am too. However, if you didn’t get the one game you really wanted or whatever, don’t fret! There’s still quite a few decent alternatives out there!
Vimm’s Lair – P good collection of nintendo games from the NES up to Wii, plus Sega Genesis and PS/PS2 games as well. Only complain is that their downloads are slow as hell so um. be prepaped.
The-Eye – Probably my favorite out of the alternatives, has tons of games including newer ones like 3DS and Switch games. Granted it doesn’t have games for a couple consoles like the Wii, any PlayStation consoles past the original PSX, and the Wii U unfortunately but other than that it’s got a nice selection and p fast downloads too!
TheIsoZone – Another oldie I think? They’ve been around for a while and have a okay selection, though they only rlly go up to 6th gen consoles + Nintendo DS plus their downloads are done through Firedrop which means having to wait a few seconds to download the file itself.
Also!!! Here is a Google Drive folder with a bunch of compressed Wii Isos, and here is another one that has roms of titles from the Wii shop!
If you guys have other safe (As in absolutely, 100% virus/malware-free) alternatives, feel free to add them!
