And we're back: Welcome to Mood Theme in a Year 2026! Whether you're here for the Maximum Track, the Medium Track, the Minimum Track, or just to watch and cheer along, I'm glad you're here ♥ I hope you have a good time!

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

The next six weeks are the only ones where the moods are the same for all three tracks, so it's pretty special! I hope everyone has fun with it.

Anyway! What are you working on? Are you making a mood theme of any size, working on a different art project, or just here to follow the fun? What medium are you working in? Is there anything you're looking forward to? Let's talk about it!

Got some more moods for you!

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

These are the first secondary/"branch" moods, which I focus on only because they have the most moods that also branch/leaf off from them. If you only want to do a little more than the bare minimum for a mood theme, but still want a good variety of images, these ones should fill things out nicely. That said, the last of the strictly mandatory moods were last week, so if you're not going for the Medium or Maximum mood tracks, these ones are just for fun! Make as many or as few moods as you want to from here on out.

Do you have any thoughts on this week's moods? Are you here for the Minimum track, or are you sticking around? Maybe you'll be starting with the next Part in February? Whatever else, I hope you have fun! Let's talk about it!

It's Wednesday again, time for more moods!

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

These are also the final mandatory moods. The fifteen moods we've covered so far are the bare minimum for a working mood theme; if that's all you want, you're good to stop here! If you want at least a little bit more image diversity without having to work much harder, stick around for another week, and you'll be pretty well covered 👍

What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are you aiming to be done with the minimum, or are you looking to branch out a little farther? And what do you think of this approach so far? Let's talk about it!

soc_puppet

More moods for you, fresh off the imaginary grill!

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

What do you think of this week's moods? How did you fare with last week's? Are you having trouble with any of them, or ideas coming to you right away? Somewhere in the middle? Let's talk about it!

soc_puppet

Phew! Back home for now, but with another trip likely in the near future. Still, that's plenty of time for a few moods!

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

What do you think of this week's moods? How did you fare with last week's? Is the approach working for you? Let's talk about it!

A family emergency came up, so I'm posting the moods a little early today!

This week's moods for all three tracks are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

What do you think of this week's moods? How did you fare with last week's? Or are you working from a different schedule, maybe? Let's talk about it!

Aaaaahhhhh, it's tiiiiiime! Welcome to Mood Theme in a Year 2025! Whether you're here for the Maximum Track, the Medium Track, the Minimum Track, or just to watch and cheer along, I'm glad you're here ♥ I hope you have a good time!

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

The next six weeks are the only ones where the moods are the same for all three tracks, so it's pretty special! I hope everyone has fun with it.

As with last year, I'm opening discussion in the comments of these weekly posts. I don't know if I'll keep up with the mid-week check-ins this year, since there wasn't a lot of need for them as the year went on, but if you have a preference, please let me know! Even if it's only for every other Part, for example. I may also get less verbose with the weekly mood posts as the year goes on, but maybe not! We'll see.

Anyway! What are you working on? Are you making a mood theme of any size, working on a different art project, or just here to follow the fun? Let's talk about it!

Whew! After meaning to get started on this for... weeks, lol, I then sat down and busted out all of part one in an afternoon. My mood theme features the talk sprites from Persona 2, one of my fav games. Or should I say two of my favs haha! This will feature sprites from both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment.

Either way, this duology is a lot of fun, and I'm having a lot of fun with my mood theme so far. ~~Even if I haven't had a chance to use my trashcan fav yet. He'll be here though. Someday. XD~~

( Moods are under the cut! )

Hi, I found out about this community this month, so I had to power through the first part to catch up :D My mood theme features Knives & Legato from Trigun (specifically using the manga) and I'm feeling very accomplished having finished so much already~

( click click for all of part one! )

Thought I might as well make a post with all my moods so far before the new week starts. ^_^

Sharaku once said, Because Monday just wouldn’t come to me in the first place / Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday didn’t work out / On Saturday and Sunday I was pretty much fed up. I'm certainly understanding this feeling lately. Moods are a nice break from everything, honestly! And I can't believe we're here already.

Sharaku scared

Scared
He looks more alert than scared, but I still think it works!
Sharaku thoughtful

Thoughtful
Okay, he doesn't look very thoughtful here, unless maybe he's thinking of murder. But let me have this lol.
Sharaku working

Working
On the computer! I'm so glad that I knew exactly what to use for this one the moment I read it.

Current Mood: drained

And with this, the end of Part 1! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to stick with this or not, but I'm having such a good time with this and I'm so pleased to have made it through five whole weeks already (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶!!! Let's all keep working hard and make it through the next batch together as well, guys. I know I've been poor at commenting on other people's posts, but I honestly really love seeing what you guys are all up to. We all have such different subject matter, and I love that :>

: Scared, represented by Litten

: Thoughtful, represented by Charcadet

: Working, represented by Golurk

'But wait,' you might be thinking; 'Didn't you say you wouldn't use popular Pokémon like Litten?'

The thing is.... i loev him ;_; And a scaredy cat for the scared theme was just too perfect!

soc_puppet

We now enter the final week of Part 1!

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

And now for discussion: Do you have any ideas for how you're planning to approach these moods? Have you had problems with any so far? Are there any moods you're looking forward to creating for? Are you looking forward to having the base set done (if you're following along), and are you planning to implement it right away?

Don't forget, next week is our first Break Week! It's the perfect time to catch up if you've fallen behind, get ahead on a few future moods, start uploading and arranging your custom mood theme, or honestly just taking an actual break.

Current Mood: excited

mouseboy

Woohoo, more moods!

Sharaku nerdy

Nerdy
If red-haired Sharaku has one fan that fan is me. 8-)
Sharaku okay

Okay
I don't really know what can represent "okay", so he's just doing his thing.
Sharaku sad

Sad
He's not exactly sad here, but he does look a bit down. Of course, he's not very sad in the clip, I just picked the right frame. I thought it was a good one!

Current Mood: dorky
Current Music: Yonjuu Kowai - Sharaku Kobayashi

Week Four! Not the most dynamic cast of characters this week, but it was a delight to discover what Stonjourner looks like when it's just chilling out instead of marching around being Stonehenge! And I'm always excited to hang out with Dunsparce, hahaha :3

Here's hoping someone comes along to cheer poor Lombre up :<

: Nerdy, represented by Dunsparce

: Okay, represented by Stonjourner

: Sad, represented by Lombre

Another week, another three moods! We're now over the half-way point for Part 1. Once all fifteen moods for this part are complete, you could technically have a working custom mood theme! Is anyone else excited? Because I'm excited.

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

A couple more tough ones this week! Sad seems pretty straightforward, and a necessary emotion, for all that it's not a "positive" one. Okay, though, is a little harder to conceptualize! And Nerdy might be just a little bit difficult to put your finger on, as well.

How are you doing with the challenge so far? Are you having a good time? Do you think any of these moods will give you trouble? Are you still struggling with some previous moods, or are you so eager for more that you're jumping ahead? Let's talk about it!

Current Mood: pensive

mouseboy

The weeks sure are going by fast lately--at least for me. I barely feel like I have time! I hope you all are doing well.

Sharaku enthralled

Enthralled
Good old ranga Sharaku staring at the camera.
Sharaku happy

Happy
He's smiling and doing a peace sign here! It's super hard to get screencaps of him smiling, because he doesn't smile much in general and when he does he seems to be insecure about his teeth. Hopefully I can get a full grin from him at some point.
Sharaku indescribable

Indescribable
What it says on the tin, lol.

Current Mood: dorky
Current Music: Vision Creation Newsun - Boredoms

aestivalis

soc_puppet mentioned in the intro post for this week that Indescribable might be a difficult mood for some, and boy howdy did that turn out to be true in my case! For most moods so far I've made one or two variants at most. For Indescribable I ended up going through four different alternatives before eventually landing on the outright goofiness of this one. I think it very much captures the way this mood was making me feel by the time I was finally done with it, haha!

: Enthralled, represented by Mightyena

: Happy, represented by Rotom

: Indescribable, represented by Magmortar

With Pokemon and Indescribable, I feel like there's a few ways I could have gone. Some Pokemon are pretty indescribable, and have no visual cues to demonstrate their emotions. Some Pokemon TCG art is bonkers in ways that can amount to being indescribable. But in the end I wanted something that still demonstrated a "mood"—that's what a mood theme is all about, after all! I think we've all had days like Magmortar is having.

Hope you guys have a smoother time with this one than I did, haha! And thanks so much for all the cheerful feedback so far :>! It really motivates me to keep going! /o/

soc_puppet

Hello, everyone! It's time for Week 3 of Part 1!

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

Indescribable seems like a rough one to me! How do you portray that, exactly? Still, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so surely it's possible to make a match there.

And now for discussion! Do you have any ideas for how you're planning to approach these moods? Have you had problems with any so far? Are there any moods you're looking forward to creating for? And by any chance is there anyone who's just starting now? Let's talk about it!

Current Mood: cold
