terms of use — by using my themes you agree to the following:
  • reblog the theme post
  • reblogging posts is crucial for content creators on tumblr, it's how others can be introduced to us & see our work plus it helps motivate us to create more :) even if you're not using a theme, reblogs are always appreciated!
  • do not touch the credit
  • this includes moving it, changing/editing it, etc. just don't touch it please. in some of my themes the credit's in multiple places - don't touch any of them. if you want to change the fill of my credit icon or update the link (demontimes ➞ phantomcodes) that's fine!
  • do not make major changes
  • small edits are fine as long as the original design is recognizable and the credit is untouched. send me an ask if you're unsure about a customization you wanna make.
  • do not claim as your own or redistribute
  • do not copy pieces of my codes for use anywhere else whether it's my other codes or another theme maker's codes. none of my themes are base codes, do not use them to make your own theme.
  • support me if you can!
  • enjoying my themes? there are many ways you can support me whether it's by reblogging my posts, leaving a tip, and/or making donations!

  • helloo feels like i’ve been gone a million years but life update i’m moving to a new city and going back to school next month! equal parts scared and excited but after i’m settled i’ll be more active here and get back to making themes! i also plan to reopen my commissions to hopefully help pay for rent & school costs!! in the mean time this is my support me page if anyone’s able, and as always all my previous themes are available here

    i’ll make an official commissions post when they reopen so be on the lookout for that! thank you so much to everyone who’s used my themes :)

    i think we should have a custom blog theme renaissance

    and i don't just mean making more of them, i also mean appreciation of them and making them a central part of tumblr's site culture again. no other popular social media site (although tumblr technically is a microblogging site) really offers this level of aesthetic and functional customization anymore. it's maybe a header, a bio, and an icon.

    i remember when putting a lot of effort into themes, mutual theme "ratings", complimenting users on their pages, proudly announcing theme changes/customizations, and appreciating theme makers for their work was a norm on this site. it's how many young people got into html.

    i know many people are primarily mobile users but when on desktop... who cares if tumblr makes it a little difficult to get directly to someone's blog page these days. i think themes are a really excellent part of tumblr and i don't want them quietly guttering out.

    tumblr is not instagram. likes on tumblr, while appreciated, are effectively useless in helping a creator reach a wider audience.

    • when you like something, it goes into your own personal folder. and chances are good that, even if it’s public, no one will see it.
    • likes do not get shared to the dashboard, where others can actually see and have the opportunity to engage.
    • liking a creation only really benefits you, and not the creator or the rest of the tumblr community!

    likes are great for bookmarking, saving posts with the intent of a later reblog, engaging with certain posts that don’t need to be shared (ie. personal posts), posts that you are not comfortable sharing, and prepping a queue.

    • REBLOGGING is the best way to support a content creator!
    • reblogs boost attention and engagement. it actually allows for that content to be shared with others. which, really, is what tumblr is all about!

    tldr; reblogs > likes. please don’t take content creators for granted. this site would be nothing without them!
