do you pronounce "wolf" with the "L" or more like "woof"? i always thought it was an interesting regional discrepancy

i pronounce it with the L. Like Wool but with an F at the end.

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

Okay does anybody in here wanna talk about how we think Heir of Apocalypse is gonna play out because I'm trying to decide if I'll be more upset if Rictor dies or Rictor doesn't win and I need to know how some of y'all have the confidence to believe he won't be shot out back by the writer

[milkk-spoon]

I think the blood coven could be interesting, they have very distinct designs and their powers are good foils, but they didn't/havent really done anything interesting with them. they already killed off one of them so I don't really see them utilising them in an interesting way...

Blood Hurt is dull as fuck IMO. Marvel comics produces some amazing shit and sometimes they really just... don't. Sure vampires are cool but it's so easy to make them samey, a problem that punching stories are very susceptible to.

I don't care about any of these characters because I know nobody is dying, the plot doesn't have a hook and the character work could be interchanged with any other average offering. Do better please

I honestly think it might be Cypher... him dani and rictor are my guesses...

I don't really get why people are picking wolverine I don't see how the role fits here... then again I'm not really caught up what she's been up to

A preview of X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse #1

X-MEN: HEIR OF APOCALYPSE #1

For centuries, Apocalypse tested the mutants of Earth to guarantee that only the strong would survive. Now, as he takes his throne on Arakko, another must rise in his place and ensure the mutants of Earth do not grow weak in his absence! Twelve mutants chosen from the X-Men’s greatest heroes — and villains — will compete for the honor, but only one can become… the HEIR OF APOCALYPSE!

Reading X-men Heir of Apocalypse: Rictor and Cypher

Edited! mind that these are just rambles and theories, I don't really expect any of this to be true and my interpretation of some characters may be wrong.

Of the contestants Cypher and Rictor are the most interesting to me.

Rictor is an obvious choice for heir, hes loyal to apocalypse and deeply cares for him and has learnt under him but is still shown to disagree with his more violent teachings. He seems to wan't to prove himself to apocalypse especially with their time lost on Arakko. Rictor's ability is also literally to control the earth around him, he's a druid aswell! I think this trial will be rictors final lesson under apocalypse, whether it ends with him as apocalypse heir or proving himself to apocalypse and moving onto something new I'll have to wait and see. Rictor's ability is also literally to control the earth around him, he's a druid aswell!

Now, Cypher is a very interesting contestant to me. Its pointed out in the issue by wolverine that he doesn't fit there, the rest of them all have some form of combative ability while cyphers is communication. Which is also why hes higher up on my list of contenders. The whole reason apocalypse is holding this trial is because the world has moved beyond him, mutant kind no longer needs his harsh lessons taught through fist. They've learnt all they can from him and need a new teacher.

I think that could be Cypher, his mutant power is quite literally to understand, he is the voice of Krakoa and to me really stands out among the other contestants. still hoping Rictor wins though...

Just theories though! I am hoping for it to either be rictor or cypher...

Artist Spotlight - Bill Sienkiewicz

[milkk-spoon]

Bill Sienkiewicz, ''Dune'', 1985 Source

Dont believe I've read any comics illustrated by Pike but I do like his line work on the cover there.

I can think of a few artists that I don't really see the appeal of that are pretty popular... a few comics I've struggled to get through just because I really didn't like the art.

I do like Danielle's art, follow him on twt and instagram! His styles very angular and I like his thick line art. the way draws combat is very fun. I'm not familiar with the other two though.

I've not read ghost or X but I'll have tob check them out...

If you do plan on getting into moon knight, the first run is actually illustrated by sienkiewicz! I think his art makes it very enjoyable.

Heres some of his art:

Do you have a favourite Comic artist? imo bill sienkiewicz art is some the best. his style is very recognizable and he uses shape very well. his art in new mutants is some of my favourite especially when illustrating legion. would definetly reccomend reading 'New Mutants #18-31.' Chris Claremont's the writer and I also really enjoy his x-men stories.

ok so. i went to a comic show recently and stumbled into DC's "Young Romance" comics, which i have no interest in reading but i did see this

and its up there as one of my favorite cover illustrations, the hold is just incredibly fucking tender and i think its so well executed. kind of regret not getting it if only just so i could get a better res picture of the cover. i went looking, and the artist seems to be Jay Scott Pike who's main deal seemed to be drawing pretty women for DC and like. yeah. yeah i get it. im not sure id call him a favorite comic artist of mine but this cover has left an impression on me and i certainly think he was very skilled.

to try and think of a favorite... its easier for me to remember artists that i hate that are super popular tbh so its taking me a minute. In general i tend to prioritize fluidity and interesting visuals over Strict Anatomical Correctness. i like superhero comics because they don't need to be hyper realistic. im not gonna list names bc im not a shithead but i have bitched in DMs before bc i simple Do Not understand the appeal of certain popular artists.

to try and list some more artists that ive enjoyed the work of: Sara Kipin was the artist for Poison Ivy: Thorns, which i thought was gorgeous. I stumbled into Serg Acuña's art a few times, I do like it although not enough to seek it out. Daniele Di Nicuolo is another one that's like that.

in general i have a habit of not really paying much attention to creator names unless i need/want to for some specific reason, because i really like to take things as they are. artists and writers have their highs and lows, so i just take each comic i read as it comes for the most part.

sometimes i wish i liked more Marvel stuff, but the only runner ups after my Nightwing obsession are Ghost and X of Dark Horse comics <3 im barely aware of anything Marvel, but i keep hoping ill be able to at least get into Moon Knight one of these days.
