Mood Theme in a Year is a low-pressure community dedicated to creating a custom mood theme. Anyone is free to join or leave at any time, and make as many or as few mood theme graphics as they'd like. Sharing is encouraged, as is asking for help and cheering one another on.

Despite the name, there are three main schedules for this community:

  • The Maximum Mood Theme Track, which begins on January 1st and continues through the year with regular breaks
  • The Minimum Mood Theme track, which starts seven times a year and goes for six weeks at a time
  • The Medium Mood Theme track, which starts three times a year and goes for fifteen weeks at a time, with one break in the middle

  • Mood prompt posting will begin on January 1st and continue through the year. The Maximum track will include all 132 moods; the Minimum Track will include the bare minimum 15 moods for a complete mood theme, plus an optional three moods that will give you the greatest image variety in your mood theme for the fewest actual images; the Medium Track includes all 34 higher-level moods that other moods inherit images from.

    Roughly three of Dreamwidth's "moods" will be prompted each week for each track. The Maximum and Medium Tracks have a week-long break scheduled every seventh week. These breaks can be used to catch up on moods you missed, re-do moods you're not satisfied with, get a head start on future moods, work on uploading your custom mood theme, or really to just take a break. Rest is important too, after all!

    Additionally, the prompted moods are just suggestions; you can work on the moods in any order you wish. While the order of all tracks is based on the mood hierarchy tree, starting with the mandatory moods and then moving on to the mid-level "branch" moods, participants are welcome to join in or leave at any time. Anyone looking for a particular challenge is welcome to check out the Mood Theme in a Month calendars, with a goal of completing at least one mood image per day to cover all of the Medium Moods! Or, if Bingo is more your style, here's a couple of Bingo cards to cover either all the Minimum Moods plus one, or most of the Medium Moods.

    Interested in making a custom mood theme, but can't afford paid time at the moment? I've got great news for you: You can now earn paid time by making a custom mood theme! Find out the details over here.

    For anyone who wants to get a head start, or just a better idea of what's to come, here's the various mood theme track schedules:

    The Minimal Mood Theme Track starts and ends with each major Part of the Maximum Mood Theme Track:
  • January 1st through February 11th
  • February 19th through April 1st
  • April 9th through May 20th
  • May 28th through July 8th
  • July 16th through August 26th
  • September 3rd through October 14th
  • October 22nd through December 2nd

  • The Medium Mood Theme Tracks start on the first, third, and fifth major Part of the Maximum Track:
  • January 1st through April 1st
    Break week February 19th through February 25th)
  • April 9th through July 8th
    Break week May 21th through May 27th
  • July 16th through October 14th
    Break week August 27th through September 2nd


  • The Maximum Mood Theme Track schedule is as follows:

    Part One: January 1 through February 11: Mandatory moods (plus three) )

    February 12 through Feb 18: First break! Take this time to refresh, relax, catch up on any moods you missed, or get a head start on future moods. This is also a good time to show off your progress; or, if you're satisfied with what you've come up with, this is also a decent stopping point; with these basic fifteen moods accounted for, all other moods will have an associated image.

    Part Two: February 19 through April 1: Secondary and Tertiary Moods )

    April 2 through April 8: Second break! Take another week off to relax, catch up, get ahead, or even stop here. You've got a good foundation for your mood theme, and are welcome to rejoin and pick it up again at any time!

    Part Three: April 9 through May 20 )

    May 21 through May 27: Third break! You know the drill by now.

    Part Four: May 28 through July 8 )

    July 9 through July 15: Fourth break

    Part Five: July 16 through August 26 )

    August 27 through September 2: Fifth break

    Part Six: September 3 through October 14 )

    October 15 through October 21: Sixth break

    Part Seven: October 22 through December 2 )

    December 3 through 9: Seventh break

    Final Part: December 10 through December 23 )

    December 24 through December 31: Final break! A fantastic time to show off everything you've done through the year, whether you found an early stopping point you were satisfied with, did only one or two moods a week at any given time, or made something for every single mood, now is a wonderful time to celebrate what you did. And for your mod to think about whether to do this again next year 😉

    Important Note: On Leap Years, any date after February (aside from December 31st) should actually be one day earlier than listed above. This is because of February 29th and math shenanigans, and doesn't affect much aside from stealing one extra day off at the end of the year.

    Remember that this is also only a suggested schedule. It's what the community will be officially posting, for anyone who wants to work on prompts as a group, but you can create the moods in any order you like, and stop or start whenever! The important part is to have fun while creating something you're satisfied with.

    Here we are, the final week of Part 3! Next week is a break week (phew!), and then we reach the first time this year that all three tracks have different moods.

    This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

    This week's Maximum moods are: Hyper, Amused, Cheerful

    I almost forgot to do this, but! As usual, for anyone who's taking the Maximum track and wants to skip December, I'm adding an optional mood to the sixth week of this and the next four parts (total of five optional moods). Anyone who's working on that track and takes the optional moods will be able to skip the last two weeks of the schedule!

    This Part's optional mood is: Accomplished

    As you can see, we've moved on from Angry derivatives and onto branches of Happy. We'll be sticking with those for a while in the next Part as well. And...

    Okay, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm wrung out today and don't have a lot of brain power to do my usual mood-themed chitchat in the main post 😅 But maybe you have some thoughts on this week's moods you'd like to share in the comments? Are you having any trouble with these? Did you get an idea right away for one or more of them? Do you want to talk some of them out, to tease out extra meaning so you can find or create the perfect graphic? Let's talk about it!

    Wrote this one up in advance so I was more likely to post on time this week; looks like it worked!

    This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working

    This week's Maximum moods are: Curious, Predatory, Bouncy

    And we're off of Angry derivatives! Which is a little weird, since you might think Predatory would fit there, but whatever. Curious seems like a pretty straightforward mood to work with here; a good head tilt can do wonders to express curiosity. Bouncy also has a lot of fun literal potential; what a great opportunity to show your subject literally bouncing up and down! Predatory is a little rougher, I'll have to admit. What, or perhaps who, does your subject prey on? My Fancy Rat is wearing a vampire costume, and my pigeon is sneaking up on a sheaf of wheat, but it's one of the other moods I skipped for my clouds.

    How do you plan to approach Predatory? Do you have something in mind, or do you need to do some digging and/or brainstorming? What about the other moods? Got anything lined up? Need some more work? Let's talk about it!

    Oh no, I missed Thursday 😱 Maybe I should skip ahead to Sympathetic...

    This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Nerdy, Okay, Sad

    This week's Maximum moods are: Moody, Pissed off, Rushed

    Pissed Off is pretty straightforward here! We've been working our way through the Angry derivatives, and while we're almost done, hopefully that means you've got a good handle on things and how you want to express Pissed Off. Rushed might be a little tricky, but I feel like it's nothing compared to Moody. Just how do you convey that visually, anyway? My Moody fancy rat is chewing on a mood ring, while my Moody pigeon is both tired and grumpy, but I skipped it entirely for my cloud moods on account of the difficulty 😅 Hopefully you'll have better luck!

    What do you think, though? Do you have something already in mind for Moody, or do you need to think it over more? Maybe Rushed or Pissed Off is giving you more trouble? Or maybe this is an easy week for you? Let's talk about it!

    For of Three Weeks For Dreamwidth, the annual celebration of Dreamwidth's founding, I've made up two super-quick Mood Theme calendars! Anyone who wants to make a mood theme in a real hurry, but still wants a schedule and prompts, can use either the Minimum or Medium calendars to make it happen:

    A minimal mood theme a day calendar for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth

    A medium mood theme a day calendar for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth

    Since twenty-one days doesn't map perfectly to the eighteen and thirty-four moods of the Minimum and Medium Mood Tracks respectively, I've left the last few days of the calendars as "free days": Days you can use to relax, to refine your mood theme, or to catch up on any days you may have missed.

    As a reminder, if you complete either of these mood theme calendars, be sure to check in with me for free Dreamwidth points! (If you go for the Medium Mood Theme and want more than one month's worth of paid time, you will need to add another two moods, but they can be any moods. Check the community schedule for a complete list of moods, but if that overwhelms you, I personally like "Blank" and "Creative".)

    Thanks for tuning in, and happy birthday to Dreamwidth!

    Jumping right in here...

    This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

    This week's Maximum moods are: Infuriated, Irate, Irritated

    And here we are with Infuriated, the "How exactly do I differentiate this?" companion to last week's Enraged! Not helping things at all are the other two moods, Irate and Irritated.

    If I had to differentiate between Irate and Irritated, I would suggest that Irritated is more likely to have something actively happening than Irate is, whereas Irate can have more of a "got up on the wrong side of the bed" quality; you can just be Irate for almost no reason, but if you're Irritated, something caused it, and may even still be causing it, even if that thing is no bigger than a mosquito.

    What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Any ideas jumping immediately to mind, or do you need to work at them some more? Maybe you have a backup idea from Enraged you can recycle for Infuriated, or you've got a tossup between Irate and Irritated you'd like some input on? Or maybe you're coasting right along? However it's going, let's talk about it!
    soc_puppet: A calendar page for January 2024 with emojis on various dates (Mood Theme in a Year)
    [personal profile] soc_puppet
    This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

    This week's Maximum moods are: Enraged, Frustrated, Grumpy

    Differentiating Enraged from the upcoming Infuriated has always been a bit difficult for me; they're both pretty extreme forms of anger, but which one is more, and how do I express that? I've tended to aim for more subtle differences when I make big enough mood themes, with Enraged in my Fancy Rats being a mirror of Infuriated with a flaming background, and I'm planning something similar for my pigeon mood theme. The cloud mood theme, meanwhile, has a tornado for Enraged and a flaming tornado for Infuriated!

    Frustrated, on the other hand, I feel has some pretty easy-to-grasp energy. If you're working with a fandom mood theme, there's probably at least one scene you can think of where your characters are frustrated by something! Finding something to pull for an original theme can be a bit trickier, but there's options out there. Frustrated is one of the few moods I skipped for the clouds, but the Frustrated fancy rat is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, and the Frustrated pigeon is dealing with anti-bird spikes!

    Finally, we've got Grumpy, another one with last week's Cranky that reminds me of uninterrupted naps. I keep on wishing it were Grouchy, so I could make Oscar the Grouch references 😂 That said, as with Annoyed feeling more "active" than Aggravated, Grouchy feels a little bit more mature than Cranky for me, or at least a little bit older and better able to use words.

    Still, those are only my thoughts and impressions! What do these moods make you think of, and how do you plan to approach them with your own mood themes? Do you have an approach in mind for them? And what do you think the differences are between some of the more similar moods we've had these past few weeks? Let's talk about it!

    It's the beginning of Part 3, and I'm behind on so many things, but so help me, updating this community will not be one of them!

    This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused

    This week's Maximum moods are: Bitchy, Cranky, Cynical

    And we're off with more derivatives of Angry! I tend to rely on word bubbles with cartoon symbols and other methods of expressing "This entity is complaining loudly" for Bitchy. Cranky, meanwhile, reminds me of toddlers who didn't get their afternoon nap 😅 So heavy bags under frowny eyes works pretty well for me! Cynical, I think, is probably the hardest to depict of this particular trio. For my fancy rats, I made it a companion to Optimistic and Pessimistic, with the rat pushing over the half full/half empty glass; my pigeon is rolling its eyes. My cloud, meanwhile, has an expression of just being Done With Everything. So those are some potential options for you, and if none of them fit, hopefully one sparks some inspiration for you!

    What about you? How do you think you'll approach this week's moods? Are ideas coming easily to you, or do you need a bit more help? Some of each? And did you have a good break week? Let's talk about it!

    Here's the second part of two mood themes - an Ojamajo Doremi theme I'm making as I go, and a Digimon theme I’m (heavily) polishing that I worked on for the last couple months of 2025. Both have borders, are 94x72, and have a few alternate mood image options apiece.

    The Ojamajo Doremi theme:
    - only features screencaps from the first season/series/51 episodes
    - is going to be made for Doremi fans in general, trying to give as many characters an appearance as possible and not favour anyone too much except in the sense of the main characters naturally showing up more than other characters

    The Digimon theme:
    - will feature images from 02 (+ Hurricane Touchdown + The Beginning), Tamers (+ Runaway Locomon), Frontier, and Appmon, also featuring some-but-less Adventure and Ghost Game - mostly screencaps, but also album and video covers, and maybe the occasional trading card or promo art
    - was made for me and focuses on characters I like
    - occasionally involves Wormmon, aka a cartoon bug. Just in case? (He does not show up in part 2 at all)

    Both these themes:
    - should be assumed to contain spoilers through endgame for all involved canon material
    - can be used by anyone! Just please link back to any of my posts in this community in your profile or sticky post or some other public location. I’ll also edit in a compilation post (for each) link with all the images posted in one place on my journal at the end of the year

    Ojamajo Doremi mood theme part 2 )

    Digimon mood theme part 2 )


    Other parts: Part 1
    Digimon part 1 got three additional images edited in under the alternates while I was working on part 2

    ZOMG it's Break Week!

    As usual, Break Week is a good time for any of the following:

  • Catching up on moods you missed
  • Getting ahead on moods for the next Part, or in general
  • Revisiting moods you're not quite happy with
  • Taking up fishing
  • Updating an old WIP you haven't touched in five years or more
  • Looking at pictures of cute animals
  • Sharing any complete moods

  • Part 3 starts next week, and with it, the next Minimum and Medium Track rounds. Maximum, meanwhile, will be peeling off from both of them, and won't match up with them again for the rest of the year. How exciting!

    However you spend your break, I hope you have a good one!

    Aaaaaaahhh, we're in the last week of Part 2, aaaaaahhhh!

    This week's Minimum moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

    This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Tired, Aggravated, Annoyed

    As a reminder, if you only want to do branching moods, the final higher-level mood here is Tired. After that, it's all bottom-level/leaf moods, so if you're aiming for a whole 36 moods to get some Dreamwidth points, you can go with Aggravated and Annoyed, as listed here, or you can pick any random two from the remaining moods in Parts 3 through 8! Next week will be a break week, and then Minimum and Medium moods will be synched up again for a while.

    As far as this week's moods go, Tired is going to take care of most of the rest of the sleepy moods; but there's still one left to go if you find two images that would work perfectly and can't pick which one you'd rather use! Aggravated and Annoyed are bringing us solidly into the Angry derivatives with two we have to find subtle differences; I feel like Aggravated might be a bit more, hmm, active than Annoyed, myself? For me, Annoyed is something that can be passive, but Aggravated means that either something is being done on purpose, or something's about to be done on purpose. Does that make sense?

    But maybe you feel otherwise! What are the differences between Aggravated and Annoyed to you? How do you plan to differentiate between them in your mood theme? Or are you fine on those two moods, and Tired is the one that's kicking your butt? Let's talk about it!

    Here we are at Week 5! Only one more week to go of our first full Medium Track run 👀

    This week's Minimum moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working

    This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Exhausted, Sick, Content

    Once again, for anyone looking for a stopping point, Working in the Minimum track and Sick in the Medium track both work: Working is the last mandatory mood, while Sick is the final tertiary mood. There are only two moods that branch off after Sick, and one of them is this week's Content, while the final branching mood is next week's Tired. After that, it's all minutiae.

    As for this week's moods, what are your thoughts on them? Content seems like another one that's a little hard to get a bead on, especially when contrasting with last week's Satisfied. Sick and Exhausted should be at least a little easier to suss out, but not necessarily easier to find material for! What on earth are you going to do if your chosen media never had a "so-and-so gets sick" episode? Do you find something you think might work, or skip that mood entirely, since it's not mandatory? If you're going for the full Maximum track, then Nauseated down the line is what is inherited from Sick; do you wait and use the perfect image later, or do you use a more Nauseated mood for Sick and buy yourself time to find something better when Nauseated comes through the line naturally? Let's talk about it! (Though if you want to skip talking about either of those last two moods I've been going on about, I wouldn't blame you!)

    Ack, it's Thursday! Thank goodness I noticed only half an hour past when I usually try to post 🤦‍♀️

    This week's Minimum moods are: Nerdy, Okay, Sad

    This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Satisfied, Mischievous, Exanimate

    Exanimate is a weird one! Honestly, I think it's one of the weirder moods in the entire list. It basically means you're not (capable of?) moving anymore. Which, if you're doing an animated mood theme, might be the perfect time to pull a prank with a single non-animated mood 😂 It might be a little harder to work with otherwise! I like to go with my subjects playing dead for the most part, but I'm sure it's not the only option. Satisfied, on the other hand, seems extremely difficult to depict. If you're working with an established fandom, you can probably find something from context that works, but I feel like it can be a little trickier to nail down when you're making original art! Mischievous, on the other hand, seems like just plain fun. Time for your mood theme's subject to go torment another of your mood theme's subjects!

    What do you think? Are your feelings on these moods the opposite of mine, or do you think you'll have the same problems? Do you need to brainstorm any at all? Let's talk about it!

    Time to get our moods on!

    This week's Minimum moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

    This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Discontent, Gloomy, Anxious

    Gloomy is such a great mood for this, IMO! It has a very visual feeling to it, all overcast skies and melodrama. Discontent, on the other hand, is a little harder to narrow down. It's a bit of a cousin to Anxious here, shifting on its feet and frowning a bit, but not necessarily able to put a finger on it or vocalize why exactly. It's not quite uncomfortable, but it's not not uncomfortable, you know? Anxious, of course, is vibrating nervous energy, afraid to put a line out of place and worried about what's going on.

    What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Do you have a different take on them? And do you think you'll have an easy time with them, or will they be more difficult? Some of each? Let's talk about it!

    More moods for your themes!

    This week's Minimum moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

    This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Refreshed, Surprised, Lazy


    It would be a Refreshing Surprise if I could be Lazy today 😛

    Okay, okay, I kid! (Well, sorta.) Back on topic, how do you feel about these moods? Surprised seems like a pretty easy grab compared to the other two; I've had a fair amount of trouble with Lazy and especially Refreshed in the past. So far with Lazy, I've made a rat laying on a block of cheese while eating it, a pigeon sitting in a seed tray, a jellyfish snoozing happily, and a very chilled out cloud. For Refreshed, the rat and the cloud both have "refreshing" sparkles, the jellyfish is sighing contentedly with its eyes closed, and the pigeon is splashing in a bird bath.

    What are your plans for these moods? Do you have something in mind for them already, or do you need to work at it more? Need help brainstorming on any of them? Let's talk about it!

    There's a new [site community profile] dw_dev post up about Dreamwidth's stance on "AI", for anyone who wants to know.

    The reason I'm posting about it over here is because it clarifies something relevant to this community. Namely, any art that Dreamwidth uses officially, such as for mood themes, must be made by a human. You can still use AI to make a mood theme for yourself, but it will never be an official, site-supported Dreamwidth mood theme that anyone can use for free.

    I'm also going to say that AI generated mood themes aren't eligible for the free Dreamwidth points offer through this community. I feel that AI generated mood themes defeat the spirit of this community and its goals of fostering creativity, innovation, and curiosity about the inner workings of Dreamwidth itself.


    On a related note, an update to the requirements for a site-supported mood theme page is coming up, er, eventually. We do have a potential size limit for site-supported mood theme images, though: No more than 60 kb per image, and no more than 150 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall. The "preferred size" limit is also anticipated to go up to 50x50 pixels, up from the 30x30 listed.


    I think that should be it for now; I hope everyone is having a good time with this community, whether you're participating or just following along, and I'll be back with more moods tomorrow!

    Welcome aboard for Part 2 of Mood Theme in a Year! I hope you had a good break, because we're about to break into some new moods 👍

    Starting now, the Maximum and Medium Tracks diverge from the Minimum track; in Part 3, Medium and Minimum will be unified again, but Maximum will be striking out on its own for the rest of the year. Pretty exciting!

    This week's Minimum moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused

    This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Stressed, Excited, Optimistic

    And what a combination of moods we have to start out with here! Pretty neat that you can be Stressed, Excited, and Optimistic all at the same time. Or maybe I mean "exhausting" rather than neat 😅 Still, they're new moods to work with, and it can be fun to compare and contrast. If you're sticking around on the Maximum Track, it'll be good practice for when we get into runs of similar moods. How do Excited and Optimistic differ? How would you differentiate the two moods? How about Excited versus Stressed? Those both have the potential to be pretty high energy moods, even if they're on different ends of whether you're happy about something. Stressed and Optimistic? It doesn't really seem like they have a lot in common on the surface, but if you've been working really hard on something you still feel good about succeeding, you might just feel both of those at the same time.

    What do you think? Are you ready to jump in on this week's moods, or do you wish the break had lasted a little longer? Do you expect to have any trouble with any of them, or need some inspiration? Let's talk about it!

    Here's first part of two mood themes - an Ojamajo Doremi theme I'm making as I go, and a Digimon theme I’m (heavily) polishing that I worked on for the last couple months of 2025. Both have borders, are 94x72, and have a few alternate mood image options apiece.

    - only features screencaps from the first season/series/51 episodes
    - is going to be made for Doremi fans in general, trying to give as many characters an appearance as possible and not favour anyone too much except in the sense of the main characters naturally showing up more than other characters

    The Digimon theme:
    - will feature images from 02 (+ Hurricane Touchdown + The Beginning), Tamers (+ Runaway Locomon), Frontier, and Appmon, also featuring some-but-less Adventure and Ghost Game - mostly screencaps, but also album and video covers, and maybe the occasional trading card or promo art
    - was made for me and focuses on characters I like
    - occasionally involves Wormmon, aka a cartoon bug. Just in case? Here in part 1, he only shows up in the alternates (under an HTML-5 cut)

    Both these themes:
    - should be assumed to contain spoilers through endgame for all involved canon material
    - can be used by anyone! Just please link back to any of my posts in this community in your profile or sticky post or some other public location. I’ll also edit in a compilation post (for each) link with all the images posted in one place on my journal at the end of the year

    This is it, everyone; we've made it to our first break!

    Anyone following the Minimum Track officially has enough graphics for a complete mood theme, plus three to really round out your image diversity 👌 That means that, if you have a paid account, you can start uploading your mood theme and use it right now if you want!

    And speaking of paid accounts, anyone who has made 18 mood graphics so far is eligible for Dreamwidth Points! Do take some time to think about whether you want to cash those in now, or, if you're planning to make more mood graphics this year, if you'd prefer to wait a little bit. In terms of points savings, cashing in at 6 months or 12 months are the only options that offer any savings, but even then that's only a difference of 5 and 10 points respectively.

    Anyone who's aiming to make a site supported mood theme, I'm so sorry, I'm still not ready for you 😢🤦‍♀️ It looks like premium paid time can only be purchased in 6 month increments anyway, so I'll need to update the "How to get Dreamwidth Points for making a custom mood theme" post regardless, but I'll do everything in my power to be ready by July—which, for anyone following the Maximum Track, will put you past the minimum 72 images for six months' worth of paid time.


    I think that's it for the moment; however you spend the next week—be it relaxing, catching up on moods you missed or redoing moods you're not entirely happy with, trying to get ahead, or something else entirely—you have a fun time, and if you're continuing on, I'll see you here for Part 2!

    Here we are, the final week of Part 1!

    This week's Minimum, Medium, and Maximum moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

    These three moods help diversify your mood theme; if you want maximum different images with the fewest possible graphics, these are good to include.

    But what do you think about the moods themselves? Relaxed and Uncomfortable are almost polar opposites here! Hopefully, once you figure out the one, the other will come easily. Silly is always kinda fun, IMO, but if you're working with a serious character, you might have a bit of trouble with it. Do you put them in clown makeup, or a funny hat? Or maybe there's a scene where their drama is being crashed by a much more unserious character that you can draw from? Let's talk about it!
