A Custom Mood Theme in a Year

We're in the final week of Part 2! This is the home stretch for both the Medium and Minimum Tracks.

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

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Tired, Aggravated, Annoyed


As a side note, "Tired" is the final mood that branches, so anyone who wants to cut out a little early, it's also a good stopping point.

Next week is our second break of the year! Following that, we'll be diving right into derivatives of Angry for the start of Part 3, while the Medium and Minimum Tracks will start at the beginning again. Are you making good progress on your mood theme? Looking forward to a break? Maybe you're almost at the end? Or maybe you're looking forward to joining in for the second round of the Medium Track this year? Let's talk about it!

This week's moods are brought to you with a side of facepalm 🤦‍♀️


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

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Satisfied, Mischievous, Exanimate

I also just realized that all of the dates in the Mood Theme Schedule are based on last year, which was a leap year; this didn't make much difference in the first two months of the year, but started throwing things off at the beginning of March 😅 Oops! I'll see about getting that fixed up in the not-too-distant future. In the mean time, I hope you'll bear with me and the slightly incorrect date listings.

In non-date related news, what are your thoughts on this week's moods? Are you ready to tackle them, or do you need a bit more inspiration first? We're also coming up on the end of the Medium Track for the first time this year; is anyone working on that track, or thinking of starting it next time? Let's talk about it!

I hope everyone's up for more Part 2!

This week's Minimum moods are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Refreshed, Surprised, Lazy


I'm afraid I've got rather a lot of plates spinning this week and don't have much commentary to offer myself, but maybe you do? Let's talk about it!

Apparently, April 4th is World Rat Day, so I absolutely have to share these before the clock turns over where I am 😉

( Part 2 Rats )

I hope these may you smile! Happy World Rat Day 😃

Another exciting week!

This week's moods are: Tired, Aggravated, Annoyed

Tired is the very last of our branching moods! Every mood after it, including Aggravated and Annoyed, don't have any moods that branch off of them, which is why I refer to them as "leaf" moods. In addition to that, next week will be our second official break. It's pretty exciting to be getting so far into a custom mood theme!

How about all of you? Do you have any ideas ready to go for these moods? Is inspiration striking you at this very moment? Or do you need a little help with any of them? Are you looking forward to next week's break? Let's talk about it!

And we're back with Week 5!

This week's moods are: Satisfied, Mischievous, Exanimate

It's always fun when a mood isn't recognized by Mozilla's dictionary! Luckily, Dreamwidth is prepared to link to other dictionaries to help us out with Exanimate here. And all of the moods, actually! If you click on any given server-supported mood, such as angelkitten's Big Eyes, which this community uses, or the page where you might be uploading your own, you can scroll through the alphabetical list of moods to find any you're not quite sure about. The link that Dreamwidth provides goes to the Dictionary.com definition of the word, providing useful added context for any emotions that might be giving you trouble!

Any other thoughts on this week's moods? Do any of them look especially tough to you, or really easy? And how's your mood theme going overall? Do you need help with any of them, or want to take a moment to brag? Let's talk about it!

Ack,I'm late! And on such an important point in the process, as well! 🤦‍♀️

This week's moods are: Gloomy, Uncomfortable, Anxious

These are some pretty significant moods, because they're the last of the secondary moods! These moods all branch from the root moods, but also have moods that branch from them in turn. This is also a pretty good stopping point, if you want to have a fairly minimal mood theme; you have more image diversity than if you only did the moods from Part 1, but it's still a lot less work than the whole year. Plus, with Uncomfortable, all three secondary moods that share images with the most other moods are now covered!

That said, if you want to keep going for a little while, there's still a few tertiary moods (which branch off from secondary moods and have moods that branch from them as well) and two quaternary moods coming up in Part 2, both of which also make good stopping points. And that's also if you're not in for the long haul!

What are your plans? Do you want to keep going for the entire thing, or do you want to take a longer break after reaching a very stable stopping point? Do you want to start a whole new mood theme after finishing with one (wherever that may be in the process), or is one enough for you (for now, at least)? And what do you think of this week's moods? Are there any you think you might have trouble with, or already have ideas for? Let's talk about it!

Rolling right along into the third week of the second leg of our mood theme journey...

This week's moods are: Surprised, Lazy, Discontent

I'd love to come up with something more eloquent to prompt discussion, but I'm away from home and the background music is competing for my attention 😅 Still! Which of these three moods do you think will give you trouble, if any? Which ones seem like they'll come easily to you? Do you need to stop by Dreamwidth's Mood Emporium (AKA the place where you can look at all of Dreamwidth's site supported mood themes at the same time and pick a specific mood to sample)? Let's talk about it!
