sorry I didn’t finish this post because Tumblr wanted me to add a gif and this was the first one suggested and iwas laughing to hard to remember what i was going to say
“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos
classic texts have nothing on the crazy people come up with in modern times tbh
“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”
– Joshua Graham, Who Is A Fallout New Vegas NPC, Something Most People Throwing This Quote Around Don’t Realize
“If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have.”
– Shadow the Hedgehog in what is widely considered one of if not the single worst game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise
this is the source for this text and it haunts me on a regular basis
“Pick a god and pray.”
-Fredrick from Fire Emblem Awakening
Huh, it’s almost like art isn’t just fine art…
this is my addition to this ever growing list of raw quotes originating from unexpected sources
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.
y’all KNOW i go hard for those evil!aus but tbh…… caleb and fjord’s relationship has and always will be a relationship built on mutual respect and curiosity. they’re both 100% aware of and acknowledge that they’ve both got some shady stuff to work out on their own respective times and while they both want to know more they’re both playing their cards close to their chest.
i talked about what caleb gained out of their most recent interaction but that exchange of information was two-ways: now fjord has more understanding of caleb as a person as well. caleb asked him for a favor. what is that favor? when will it come? what is caleb trying to do with it? with him? he has no clue, but it’s a callback to one of the first things caleb said back when they were just starting to get to know each other in the early episodes: caleb is a man who likes to take calculated risks. in this, fjord is caleb’s calculated risk. what the potential reward is fjord has no idea. but fjord is recently familiar with the concept of taking risks for questionable and powerful rewards, and fjord’s curious to see how this risk of his pans out.
they’re both on the level with each other. they’ve got an understanding. they know that any time they want to poke and prod at powers beyond their knowledge to gain that knowledge, they’ve got a partner in crime. they’ve got someone who’s willing to pause at the edge of the abyss and peer into it together.
doesn’t mean that they’re going to jump into the abyss, of course. just that they’ve got someone else willing to test the waters and tempt disaster just to see what would happen.
