A Custom Mood Theme in a Year

We're getting into crunch time for me at both school and work, so I'm going to try and schedule the posts at least through the end of the month—maybe even the end of the year. There shouldn't be any change on your end, and if all goes well, I might even try to set this up for next year...

Anyway! On to business!

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

This week's Maximum moods are: Thirsty, Worried, Distressed

We've got a couple of stress-y moods here, and one that can go either way. Luckily, Thirsty, the one that can go either way? You can also have a bit of fun with! If your subject is metaphorically thirsty, you might be able to riff off of Horny from earlier in the year. That said, it's also perfectly fine to stick with the more traditional definition of Thirsty, and go with your subject being absolutely parched. Maybe stuck in a desert somewhere? Honestly, that would leave me Worried and Distressed, if I wasn't sure I could get out safely...

What about you? Do you have any thoughts on this week's moods? Do you expect to have a rough time of it, or do you think it'll be easy? Some of each? Let's talk about it!

At last we've reached the final 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!
