[Lost Media] Long Thread About Mermaids

I randomly remembered this mermaid post again and I just want to find it and reread it. Not sure if it's against the rules but I'm looking for a thread that's a result of several blogs collaborating with each other not really asking about a specific blog.

I've posted this on the r/find subreddit a couple of years ago to no success, but I wanted to try again. I remember it having fairly a lot of notes too so I know that it made its rounds across the platform. Maybe someone here will know what I'm talking about, hopefully.

Does anyone have a link to that long Tumblr thread that starts with someone saying something like, “what if mermaids didn’t die? what if they just grew and grew?” something like that. I think they were compared to lobsters?

And then the thread ends with someone making a story about a mermaid falling in love with a human and when her partner dies she eventually goes back to live in the ocean. letting her descendants rule. but like one day she comes back to help or something and when she surfaces she’s enormous. I think someone even added art they made for the story at the end of the thread.

Anyway if someone finds the link to this very specific post I'll be forever grateful. Or even just pointing me to the right direction of someone who would know something about this.

Is anyone having issues uploading videos? I've been trying since yesterday and get the message that it's "processing," but the video/post never shows up before or after it processes. Typically I just share clips from YouTube and provide the link, but in this case, I just want to directly upload it.

Used to have a tumblr years ago, how does it work now?

So I started a new blog a few days ago, added some posts, made it clear in the description it's a new blog and what it's about. took time sourcing my header and AVI and followed some blogs in the same theme / content type and liked and reblogged some posts.

Crickets. I have maybe one or two likes in over a week now and the only follow I got I had to block as they were a perv, yay.

Am I missing something? Do I need to use communities now? Can anyone give me a tip or two on how to start building an audience on Tumblr? Thanks!

HELPP, i need to switch my email

i need to switch my email pretty soon so i can keep my tumblr account but idk how and the step by step on tumblr isnt specific enough and i really need specific details on how to switch it. I really might just be out of luck. Having a youtube tutorial or a visual guide could really help me.

The step one was go to the image where i currently am i rn obviously. But then is says disconnect and send a password reset to the current email and stuff but it isnt helpful to me, it really isnt.

heres what i really could use clarification on-

If i click disconnect what happens, does it ask me if im sure or something?

Do password email things have an expiration date?

Do i change the top email first and THEN disconnect and send a password email?

What do i do? Because if i send it to the old email, the blurred one, that email WILL NOT let me recieve emails and i cant fix it. Like i cant even see if anything was filtered out i cant, ive looked through the entire gmail thing to find emails and i cant find ANY, even outside of this, so if i have to send an email to the one im trying to change, the blurred email, im out of luck and cant do anything.

None of the posts i’ve seen anywhere nor the official steo by step guide are helping me, if someone can PLEASE clarify things ior make a specific guide or a VISUAL guide that would help so much. Please help because im currently trying to write something and i cant loose this, i need this, and whenever i lose this email account(blurred) in either deletion or termination does that delete my Tumblr account too? Please PLEASE tell me.

can i transfer owners of my secondary blog?

okay so, i run an event blog and i have very stupidly linked it to my main account so now my notifications are constantly flooded from the event blog and well. it’s incredibly overwhelming when i can’t check my main blog’s notifications without still getting stuff from the event one - so im curious if there’s a way i could connect the event blog to another blog rather than my current main one? if this makes sense

Help finding potential lost media

There was either a gif or video that a small creator had posted probably sometime in 2021-2022 that was titled Al Walks. Idk who posted and I don't care about the blog, only the video. The video itself is a bit strange, it's this red gumby looking figure walking around to weird music on a background of reds and blacks. It's only about 10 seconds long I would say. I can't find it anywhere under any search or in my likes, and I haven't seen it since I originally liked it and it hasn't left my mind since. Idk if anyone knows or remembers it
