moodthemeinayearSo begins Week 3 of Part 7!
This week's Minimum moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable
This week's Maximum moods are: Hungry, Restless, Nauseated
Oh jeez, this week's moods could tell a story 😂 That, or it's just a very ADHD kind of vibe. Getting so lost in a project that you don't notice you're Hungry, even though you've started getting Restless, and then it's been so long that you're Nauseated? I've been there! (Not too often, thankfully.)
Hungry and Nauseated can both be fairly straightforward. For Hungry, you can have your subject chowing down on something delicious—or, depending on what visual cues your source may involve, perhaps there are hunger lines or the word "growl" floating up from their stomach? Nauseated can pretty easily involve a green tinge to your subject's face, or being served/forced to witness something stomach-churning. Restless, meanwhile, is a little trickier. It's kind of an anxious mood, but one that suggests motion, so if you're not making an animated mood theme, how do you approach that? If you're making your own images, do you draw in motion lines anywhere? If you're using screencaps, do you rely on context and take them from a scene where your subject is restless in canon? It's a tricky one to approach!
What do you think? Does this ring true for you, or are you finding yourself in the opposite position, ready to tackle Restless but thrown off by Hungry and Nauseated? Or maybe you're having trouble with all of them, or none of them? Do you need any help? Let's talk about it!

Date: 2026-11-09 05:32 am (UTC)Tbh it's just been a "know it when I see it" thing. They both work way better in context (restlessly waiting for powers to come back/one out of an entire ending theme bit implying how restless and unsure all the kids felt before going to the digital world), but both times ended up with "looking out into the distance. look at that sky. look at those trees." Okay!
