I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
Results were positive: I have successfully backed up my blog*
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted.
Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month)
2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog)
3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it)
4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not)
5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.
this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.

A persons fanfic tells you a lot about them, i , a fanfic writer, realize in terror
…but not in the way 99% of people on this site think it does.
Fanfic tells you which characters, and which sides of those characters, the writer finds most compelling - but not whether they necessarily LIKE those characters, or approve of what they do.
Porny fanfic tells you what the writer gets off on writing about, or reading - but doesn’t necessarily have shit to do with their RL sex life.
And so forth.

Thank you nonny! And thank you to everyone else who sent me birthday wishes! <333

Happy birthday ! Your dress is lovely ! May I ask where it is from ?
Thank you! <333 I got it a few years ago from ASOS, made by a company called Paper Dolls. They do lots of beautiful dresses! I had to get it tailored because, since I’m short, the cleavage was even more scandalous than it currently is, but it’s a price I was willing to pay.
It was my birthday today! I had a lovely party on Saturday, my good friend took me out for a meal tonight, and I’m currently sitting drinking chocolate Baileys from my new Ariel mug. Life is good. :D
The best part has been spending time with my partner and friends (and eating way too much food), but I’ve been gifted some really great loot this year! I feel like it presents an excellent picture of who I am and what stage of life I’m at. My BFF got me the Two Faced Chocolate Gold palette (SO MANY SHINIES), my partner got me a million packs of cards for the Arkham Horror LCG, my brother got me a 500GB SSD, I chose a Lakeland heated clothes airer from my parents because we don’t have room for a tumble dryer, and I have a bunch of games and some new lipsticks. Pretty things, fun things, and adult things!
Picture of me and cake under the readmore!
i know ive talked about how much of a fucking jungle university libraries are on here before but just now i was looking for a book and accidentally stumbled upon three solid bookshelves on a topic that the library database told me didnt exist two months ago and then i spontaneously lost cell phone connection as soon as i got to what i was actually trying to find and only regained it when i left the Book Hoard with my prize and that is exactly the kind of slightly-ominous feel that im talking about
