moodthemeinayearTiming is always hectic for me on Thursdays. I'm looking forward to next year, when we'll be on a different day of the week here!
This week's Minimum moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic
This week's Medium moods are: Refreshed, Surprised, Lazy
This week's Maximum moods are: Horny, Good, Grateful
And right off the bat, we've got a complicated mood to talk about! Since I want to keep this community open to all ages, if there's something 18+ -ish that you want to do with Horny, please either hide it under Details/Summary tags, or post it in your own journal and link it back in the comments. Otherwise, it should be good to go!
And now we get into talking about how to portray the mood itself! A picture of your subject with actual horns on for Horny is a pretty quick way to go about it, as well as if your source material has any scenes where your subject is in the mood. For my fancy rats, I took a cue from Japanese culture, and gave the rat in question a nosebleed; for my pigeons, I'm recreating a video where a pigeon is flirting hardcore with a very confused falcon. I skipped right over that mood in my clouds, though!
Good, on the other hand, is a bit more nebulous! I hear tell that some people like to lean into angelic theming, to contrast with the earlier Devious; there's also a common thumbs up sign as a useful signal. Grateful is more difficult still, especially when we'll have to contrast it with Thankful later on! A soft smile and a hand (or other appendage) over the heart can do well for this, as well as actually receiving something.
But maybe you have different ideas! What are your plans for this week's moods? Is something coming immediately to mind, or do you need some help with it? Do you have your ideas all lined up already? Planning to just skip one or more of this week's moods? That's valid as well! Whatever you decide, let's talk about it!
