New Mature Content Warning Overlay (And How to Get Rid of It)
More fun community label "features"! Unlike the new mandatory label for #NSFW, this one is a bigger deal to me because it affects my entire blog and it can't be avoided by just using a different tag.
Apparently on custom blog layouts, if you happen to post or reblog even a SINGLE post that's been flagged with the mature content community label, a full-page warning overlay will appear blurring out your entire blog that must be manually clicked through every single time the page is refreshed. At first I thought this was just a bug due to my older layout but I've come to realize it's not. It's a feature (as confirmed by this recent changes post) that affects all custom themes. The formatting will vary based on your own theme but here's what it looks like on my blog:
I don't know about you but I find this is stupid and annoying. If it could be dismissed once and never seen again that might be one thing, but that's not the case. The vast majority of my blog is not "mature" enough to warrant such an aggressive and invasive warning. I also think pop-ups are obnoxious in general and I'll be damned if tumblr's going to force me to have one on MY blog.
After some desperate googling for a known workaround and being unable to find even a single mention of it, I decided to take on the challenge myself. I'm not a theme coder, so apologies if there's a better way to do this, but luckily it only took me like 10 minutes to figure out a simple fix, which I'm now sharing with anyone else who may want it:
.community-label-cover__wrapper {display: none}
Just copypaste that somewhere in your CSS and goodbye pop-up!
If you're not sure how to access your theme code, check out this help article. You can also add the code via the Advanced Options menu, which is actually even better (if you can get it to work, it depends on how your theme was coded), because it will then automatically be reapplied to a lot of themes without having to remember to manually add it every time if you change your theme in the future.
Obviously this will only remove it from your own blog for anyone who may visit it. If you never want to see this warning again on other people's blogs you can also add this custom filter to your ad block:
tumblr.com##.community-label-cover__wrapper
Unfortunately I do not have an easy tutorial on hand for this one as the method will depend on your specific ad block app or extension.
Some additional notes:
After adding the theme code and saving the changes, give it a minute to update as it sometimes takes a little while for the page to refresh.
The warning overlay only seems to appear if a "mature" post is on the FIRST page of your blog, which is still annoying and makes the whole thing even more pointless and stupid because what if someone visits any other page of your blog, and oh no, happens to see "mature" content they weren't warned about?!
The warning also appears on direct links to "mature" posts.
This hack has NOTHING to do with entire blogs that have been flagged as NSFW. It only works for non-flagged blogs with custom themes that happen to have individual "mature" posts.

DREAM-OF-TEETH, a mech made from the hollowed-out corpse of one of the old gods, has killed each one of its previous pilots. You are the "lucky" 13th to try, a pit-fighter made a porcelain.
Together, they will break the world before it breaks them.

This started as one part of a larger zine wip I wanted to share but I went a little overboard with the presentation haha.
Said wip below:
(Currently working on making headway on another project so it'll be a bit before I finish this up but I like the layout so far!)

"Midnight Snap" is a new LP format I'm trying that is designed to create a welcoming, cozy space to sleep alongside for those who struggle with insomnia or just need some friendly noise!
- LONG videos
- No sudden spikes in volume
- No mid-roll ads
This pilot is a bit shorter than I want normal episodes to be. It's also, of course, more experimental and I hope to improve/expand the format over time. But if the idea appeals to you, feel free to give this episode a listen and consider letting me know how it works out for you!

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question.
and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost.
Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half."
All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

a selection of many sketches and drawings
I'm trying to fight the fear of posting something here, I think like "I don't like my work, but there are probably people who like it! I hope their love will help me to love my work" 😔🥄
my headcannons on Wally's outfit (I drew this somewhere a month ago) translation of notes:: the cardigan is very large; Barnaby helps to fasten the buttons; in the 70s, such pants were in fashion (but I'm not sure); Wally likes the way his shoes shine (that's why he rubs them)
Oooh, I come back to this drawing every month to correct it. In fact, I am interested in watching how I am doing something!! (sorry for the eyes in the background)
and other stuff >:]
1. @//clownsuu 's OC hum!Zachary. DAMN, I really like Zachary's Halloween costume (I adore vampires, I confess 😔🥄)
2. Fool from reverse 1999 for my friend
3. @//thelone-copper 's OC hum!Margo. While I was gathering my strength to continue this sketch, Nicholas had already changed hum!Margo's design.... But I'm not sad, maybe later, I'll redo everything under the new canons 🤭

Something about “Escape from the Woods” by zartophski
WIPS & more:
I made legends mer-form resemble an oarfish. The red/pink fin is on brand and the heralding of disaster is quite fitting I think!
I realized while working on this that I wasn’t going to finish it, but I liked certain aspects so w/e :}
