“Judas betrayed Jesus, but Jesus sacrificed them both”

I love that sentence so much, ‘cause that was one of the themes/ideas I played around with when I wrote The Lost Gospel of Judas (LG) . Except, of course, in my version of Judas’ story (1) Judas is aware of the prophecy of his betrayal, (2) he agonizes over his “role” in both of their (his and Jesus’) (entwined) destinies, and (3) his freedom to choose the role of Betrayer is more emphasized.

The entire premise of LG is based on the “exploration of the place of free will in divine prophecies, focusing primarily on the tormented reluctance of Judas regarding his destiny, because the Savior he is meant to betray is the man he loves” as well as my envisioning of “another possible history, a world where queerness is a simple fact of life rather than a thing to be concealed. Where Jesus and Mary Magdalene can tease each other about the people they love, where holy scriptures don’t balk at the thought of genderfluidity, and where the great salvation of humankind grew from the love of two men.”

Pinned Post I apologize for hijacking this post I just want the opportunity to shameless plug this damned fic and justify the weeks I spent sleeping every other day so I can finish this story LMAO (it was for class and I was cramming) kudos and feedback are desperately craved

Here are two non-obvious things about the Tumblr UI that I feel like I can make more clear with some images. As of July 17, 2022:

links to posts on blog themes:

There's a link to view a post on the user's custom blog theme—if they have a custom theme, and have their blog accessible to logged-out users, of course—as the first item in the ⋯ ("meatballs") menu. (This used to be the dog-ear corner at the top right corner of the post, if you remember that.)

Like any normal link, you can control/command click this menu item to open it in a new tab, or right click it to copy the link URL.

links to individual reblogs:

The header areas highlighted in green here—specifically their empty areas—are links directly to the individual reblogs they're the headers for. This is also true in the mobile apps!

You can control/command click them to open them in a new tab.

You can sort of right-click them to copy the link URL... but only if you have post timestamps turned on (it's in your tumblr settings in the dashboard section near the top), and only if you right click on the timestamp, or actually the dashed green area. (I wish this could be true for the whole header, but it's kind of hard for technical web browser limitation reasons.)

The above statements are true without XKit!

Now: by default, the areas highlighted in red and orange are links to the blogs in question. The "restore links to individual posts" option in Tweaks in XKit Rewritten (check out @addons!) does two things:

  • It changes the red-highlighted links to point directly to the reblog in question, just like their surrounding green area. This doesn't really add any functionality; you could already access that, as just discussed!
  • It changes the orange-highlighted link to point to the immediately preceding reblog (i.e. the one "prev tags" refers to). This definitely does add functionality, since there was literally no way to step backward through the reblog chain otherwise!

For the record, what I would probably have done if I were Staff or if I had been the one to write the XKit Rewritten tweak without anyone else's input is:
