secret to inspiration is complain and sleep . ;P
in all seriousness , some of these fairly simple , or reuse other aspects - slightly less effort and inspiration necessary . good news is , down to 30 non-unique moods at this point ! hardest tree to work through is sad , but even that one shrink bit by bit .
and , since this is lost in post 1 at this point , here is explanation for how template file work ! template include many more pieces by now of course , but maybe this is useful to others who consider little pixel moods too . :D

Here it is: The final part! There are only five moods left for anyone who has been following along with the full schedule. We're almost at the end...

This week's moods are: Accomplished, Artistic, Busy

And if those aren't fitting moods for this point in the project (not to mention this time of year in general), I don't know what would be!

There are no minimal moods this week or next week, since I'm trying to keep to a schedule of three-ish moods per week, and splitting the minimal mood set up between the two remaining weeks would give us three times that per week. Still, if you want to go for it, here's a link to the Part One Moods! I haven't edited the formal schedule yet, but the minimal mood set should also include Relaxed, Silly, and Uncomfortable, so there's all 18 moods, should you want to give things a try.

How's everyone feeling about things this week? Are these moods approachable, or is it just getting to be too much? Do they hit a little too close to home, or does the timing make it easier for you to come up with ideas? And have you thought at all about participating next year? Let's talk about it!

At last we've reached the final rats!

Part 7 rats )

And those are the Part 7 moods! The asterisk by Nostalgic is because my original plan (and as is still reflected in the custom mood theme I have set up for myself), I was just going to use one of the options from Geeky, Nerdy, and Dorky; they cover a lot of the same ground, it's fine! Only then, uh. My Fancy Rats got approved to be an official Dreamwidth site-supported mood theme?! So I had to come up with some alternate versions that didn't involve other peoples' IP in a hurry 😂 Anyway, it was just in the latest site code tour, so it'll be going live real soon now (along with some jellyfish I made for funsies), so like. Keep an eye out for that in the next site update!

All of that means that I'm going to go ahead and share my Part 8 moods early; I was originally going to wait until the final break, just to keep things consistent, but uh. Well. With any luck, the moods will be live for everyone by then anyway, so why wait?

I think that's all I have to say for these moods right now; I'm super looking forward to them going live!

As a reminder, anyone who wants to is welcome to use any of them as icons, just remember to credit me somewhere. I'm planning to put up a formal download link for the whole mood theme, alternate versions included, after Part 8 is officially over. Yay, rats! Yay, Dreamwidth! Yaaaaay!

Goodness, is it the end of Part 3 already? I can hardly believe it!

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

Starting here, I am now going to be adding an additional optional mood at the end of every Part. There are five Parts after this one, and the last one has only five moods in it; that means that, if you want to finish up a couple of weeks early and have almost the entire month of December off from mood theme work, you only have to do one extra mood per Part!

How does this work? All I will be doing is adding an extra optional mood to work on for the final week of Parts 3 through 7. You can still work on the moods in any order you like, but I know December is really busy for a lot of people, and having a little break from an extra challenge might be nice. Plus, it'll give you a longer cushion if you want to do Mood Theme in a Year again next year 😜

That said, making moods in December might be a nice break from the rest of everything for you! So in addition to the optional additional mood every Part, Part 8 will be going forward as planned.

All that is to say:

This Part's optional mood is: Accomplished

What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are you excited to work on any of them? With the end of the Angry moods, we've moved onto variations on Happy. Are there any you're looking forward to? Do you think you'll have trouble coming up with all the potential Happy variants, or do you expect to zoom right through? And are you looking forward to the break next week? Let's talk about it!
