So Useful - Tumblr Posts

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

Big mood. Just, giant mood.

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

Y'all that Nintendo direct has me thinking I might need to start playing acnh again 😱😱

I think the thing nobody has considered is ARTISTS CAN USE THIS TO ADVERTISE THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMISSIONS. Since tumblr is a bit harder to get started out on than like, idk, Instagram or something, since tags are *very* specific, and Tumblr doesn't *really* recommend new blogs that arent already being followed by someone you follow, new artists can get themselves out there a little bit, or those with a bit of a following can use it to expand their audience a bit more. Plus, advertising commissions on the cheap, like lets say a 50$ or less fullbody or something, the ad will very quickly pay for itself!

solutions to missing tumblr control buttons

aka if you’re missing these like/follow/edit theme/customise etc buttons that usually chill at the top right of your browser page on your tumblr blog

first off check your internet connection & clear cache as they do sometimes take a while to load or you might have an older cache floating about 

if you use ghostery then edit your settings there as it may be the issue

if your theme code already contains an iframe id tag for the tumblr_controls property then update your tumblr_controls url in the body part of your theme - control+f for iframe id= “tumblr_controls” and if it exists then update the url (see here though that may be out of date so keep searching) - if you don’t already have the iframe id tag for tumblr_controls then don’t try adding it in until you’ve checked and updated for z-index properties (see next bullet point) This fix is Out Of Date

[most likely solution!!] check if your theme contains any z-index properties (just ctrl+f z-index in your theme code) which i’ve found out fucks up with the updated tumblr controls - to fix that remove any unnecessary z-index properties or lower the values to something more plausible like from 1 to 10 instead of 999 to 99999999999999999999 - (if you don’t know what they are: z-index basically specifies which property stacks on top of which, like if you’re going to have cookie crumbs on the bottom at layer 1 or will it be on the top at layer 10) - this is also a possible fix if parts of your theme is fucking up in the light box too lmao  - (personally i’ve found that the z-index is the most common issue rather than the iframe id)

if the above didn’t help at all i am very sorry

consider adding like/reblog buttons to your index entries for individual posts instead - (find the creator of your custom theme - do remember to check their FAQ as they may have provided solutions/edits already etc)

and if all else fails: - cry a lot
