Question: if it's a 12 years old blog, then I assume it's simple. Why don't you rebuild it with the theme you choose?

Granted, I don't know how WordPress works, or any if its technical circumstances.

I have 6000 little posts, each with a 300x300 image... and it's set up the way I like it. I just know that if I tried to import it into a new theme, something would be off that would require fixing manually, post by post, which I definitely wouldn't do.

Theoretically, the way to go about it would be to save several generated static HTML pages from your blog and work backwards from there, adding the necessary Wordpress PHP. Granted it would be intense work, but then you would no longer have the impending cancellation of your theme hanging over your head.
