It's been a while since I've touched any of it but I know that Tumblr let you edit full HTML for a theme, in the past; having access to full HTML, it'd be pretty trivial just just put the verify part you need directly in your Tumblr theme (that's how I'd expect they're doing it).
Hmm; I'm not sure. I added it next to where the description is injected, in my theme (first image). But that seemed to take, just fine; inspecting the page, itself (after changes were saved), didn't seem to clobber the "rel='me'" part, any (second picture).
Just to make sure it all worked together, I've added a link to the Tumblr account to my Masto account and it's marked as verified. Maybe there's a type somewhere that caused Tumblr to not interpret it as valid HTML?
@Swanye ok, so what I did is I went to my blog settings at https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/expertplus and enabled custom theme (first screenshot). Then, I copied and pasted the HTML thing from Mastodon's settings to Description - see second screenshot.
Ahh; there's your issue. If I'm not mistaken, the Description section there is the same as under the normal Profile settings: a average-user–friendly textbox so it won't accept any HTML.
What you'll want to do is click the "Edit HTML >" link towards the top-left of your first screenshot.
In there, you should find the raw HTML of your entire theme (similar to my first screenshot in my previous post).
