hiya egg!! i was wondering, if i wanted to start building my own tumblr themes, where should i start? i already know how to use HTML, CSS, and JS; i'm just not sure where exactly to start my tumblr theming journey. also ty for your hard work and lovely themes <3
hi!
So I recommend looking at the official documentation for theme making. It's a good reference for what blocks and variables you can use.
I also made a base code that includes all the basic things your theme needs, including theme garden requirements. It's intended to be used for learning so you are free to edit as much as you want and release it as your own theme.
I started making a guide to go with it that goes over what the blocks are doing. Here's the guide for blocks and variables, the guide for posts in general, and the tips for theme options/styling.
Feel free to use the guide even if you don't want to use my base code. Aside from mine, theme-hunter has a tag for base codes!

Hello, I love your themes and I adore them very much, also a question, would you teach me how to make a theme? like yours, they are a #1 fan of your nwn themes
posatad: i hope you don't bother too much
Hello, thank you for your kind words and interest! Whilst I myself don't have any in-depth tutorials on how to make themes, I do have a few links that can get you started.
@eggdesign's Web Design Basics tutorial set
@octomoosey's theme-making tutorial set
tumblr's own theme documentation
The fastest way to learn (in my opinion) is to play around with code hands-on. Luckily, there are quite a few base codes out there that're made to be experimented on:
@seyche's base code
@eggdesign's base code
@annasthms' base code (I've been using this for a couple years, it's been super helpful in understanding tumblr's variables for modern captions)
And here are a few functionality resources for making your theme run more smoothly, as an alternative to using the "tumblr defaults":
NPF images fix (multi-media / mobile images) by me
css photosets by @annasthms & @eggdesign
audio posts: custom audio colors tutorial by @shudesigns
audio posts: mini spotify player tutorial by me
audio posts: mini soundcloud player tutorial by @shythemes
flexibleVideos.js by @nouvae
You can also check out my #learning, #advice, and #theme-making tags for even more resources! Hope this helps.

Ok real talk, does anyone know how/where to put code for sidebar page jump navigation on themes? (The page navigation that goes "prev, 1. 2, 3, 4 next" specifically)
It seems like most modern themes don't even offer pagination, and if they do, it's at the bottom of the page, and isn't jump pagination.
I've found a lot of cute and fun themes so far and am happy to edit them but jfc, i can't find ANY with good sidebar jump pagination anymore.
Also if anyone knows what the full code for the copyright date/blog age thing listed in the documentation is and where to put it i'd love you forever.

your little angel of a son inherits katsuki's bad temper, and it manifests in his terrible fours.
there's an awful little shriek that echoes throughout the house and katsuki is on his feet and halfway to the living room before his eyes are even open—but the only danger awaiting him there is a pouty little brat.
his son is sitting amidst a swarm of toys that have been strewn about haphazardly, and his arms are crossed and big fat tears are in his eyes and he looks mad as all hell. you do, too, sitting across from him with a deep frown, holding the ripped page of a book from his little shelf.
"no sir," you warn, "we do not treat our things this way."
you incite a meltdown.
katsuki feels his own temper flaring—half from shock and awe at his little mini-me and also from the exhaustion wearing him thin—when your son kicks his legs out in a burst of rage, letting out another little shriek of anger. your cheeks puff up, wearing the same furious expression, and at the hiss of his name, the little brat jumps to his feet and snatches a toy truck nearby and launches it across the room.
"oi!"
your son's attention snaps to katsuki, startled, losing a hint of anger as he pouts at the floor.
"what'd she just tell you?" and when he gets no response, katsuki prods with a, "hah? answer me."
but the little boy only stamps his little feet and grunts out a furious, wordless sound that has katsuki's lip curling. you let out a heavy sigh, shaking your head at him before frowning down at the torn page in your hands, and then katsuki is planting a hand on the back of his son's head and steering him towards the front door.
"time to take a walk."
the boy goes, even though his arms are crossed and his eyes are downcast. he only resists once, as katsuki tries to shove his little feet into his shoes.
"i don't wanna." he mumbles, face scrunched and wet before promptly looking away.
"i didn't ask."
"hmm!"
katsuki has to resist the urge to pinch his own son.
they get out the door eventually, and the little boy stomps along for the most part, no longer needing a guiding hand on the back of his head once they get around the block a time or two. neither of them say anything.
fatherhood has taught katsuki a lot of things, which was expected, but the one thing that's surprised him is—he's learned all the things he doesn't want his son to be.
the first of them being angry. not the way katsuki was, mean and selfish, throughout his childhood; hateful and careless, in his teens; shut off and simmering, even now.
he waits until the tension has melted off his little shoulders, until his little face has dried and evened out. his arms swing at his sides, occasionally coming up to wipe his snot with the back of his hand, and he eyes the few wildflowers they pass with a little hum and a small smile.
katsuki tugs once on his ear, frowning down at the little brat when he peeks up at him. "that how you're supposed to treat your mama?"
he doesn't answer at first, leaning his head all the way back and clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth, until katsuki stops walking. "no, sir."
"how you s'posed to treat her?"
"with love."
"how you s'posed to treat your toys?"
"with care."
"uh-huh," katsuki squishes his son's cheeks in his hand, shaking his head lightly from side to side until he starts giggling. "that how you acted today?"
"no, sir."
"that how y'r gonna act again?"
"no, sir."
"okay," katsuki murmurs, nodding once before letting him free. the little boy bounces on his feet and sucks on his lip, grinning when his tummy is pinched. "now pick those for your mama."
and he does, carefully plucking a small handful of flowers from the grass as they make their way back home, and just before he runs up the steps to the house, katsuki's little angel of a son hands him the biggest one.
