moodthemeinayear is now open for 2026!Have you ever wanted to create a custom mood theme, but found yourself overwhelmed by all of the potential moods you'd have to make? Mood Theme in a Year has you covered! The community assigns three moods a week for you to design graphics for, with regular week long breaks. Draw, screencap, and/or animate your way to the custom mood theme of your dreams, with a community by your side to support and encourage you.
Not up for a full year/132 images? No problem! That's just the Maximum Track, which runs from January 1st through (roughly) the end of the year. If you want to make a smaller mood theme, you can follow the Minimum Track (18 images) or the Medium Track (34 images), or maybe somewhere between one of those and the Maximum Track. The goal of this community is to create a custom mood theme that you like, at a pace that works for you.
For those who missed it: While uploading and using a custom mood theme is restricted to paid accounts, as of December 2025, creating at least 18 mood graphics can earn you Dreamwidth points! Now, even if a paid account is out of your budget, you can still have the chance to upload and use your own custom mood theme. Read this post for more details.
The first three moods of 2026 are now up; thanks for reading, and I hope to see you there!

Yuletide reveals have happened, and I somehow ended up writing a total of nine fics this year. That included my main assignment, four pinch hits, and four treats. I'm still not entirely certain how I managed to pull off that many fics, but I did it. And I feel pretty good about all of them. Yay me?
Anyway, let's move onto the fics themselves!
First there was my original assignment:
( Watchmen (Comic) )
Then I picked up four pinch hits (one of which is archive locked for obvious reasons considering the fandom):
( Critical Role: Aramán (Web Series) )
( Critical Role (Web Series) RPF )
( Memoirs of the Borgia Sybil Series - Jo Graham )
( Pathways: Chronicles of Tuvana (Webcomic) )
And then, last but not least, I wrote four treats:
( Jaws )
( Justice League International )
( Pretty Baby (1978) )
( Titanic (1997) )

I didn't read as many books as I wanted to this year, and I didn't do much photography or writing or make progress on other projects, despite having a little bit of time mostly to myself for the first time in almost 12 years. I did manage to make my new monthly and weekly planners instead of buying them.
We spent New Year's Eve watching the last episodes of Stranger Things
( Spoilers )
I just posted a thread to my Bluesky account about why I think it's extremely urgent for people to back up anything they still have on LiveJournal, however they do it. Thread starts here:

ru-news LJ post I was relying on:
https://ru-news.livejournal.com/80899.html
Please spread this far and wide so as many people see it as possible, because I really don't see English-language LJ continuing in its present form for much longer, and I know some people may still have things they care about there. It doesn't matter how you get it backed up, but it's absolutely crunch time for getting it backed up.

denise posting in dw_maintenance Dec. 31st, 2025 08:24 pm)Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)
Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.
I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!
С Новым Годом, and welcome home!
EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!
Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️

* I supported one of my best friends who was in an abusive relationship, which got extremely scary before the end.
* I finished and posted the first fanfic I've written since the Epic Psychiatric Misadventures 16 years ago which reduced my brain to scorched earth, and I think it's one of the two best things I've ever written:
a word you've never understood (Prophet, post-canon, Adam/Rao, 9143 words)
* I started playing Dark Souls, and I beat Ornstein and Smough.
* I did some RL stuff which I can't talk about here without doxxing myself, but which was my tiny contribution to trying to make the UK suck less.
* I discovered I could go for a "run" (very slow run-walk intervals) ending up by a spot in a brook where I could quickly change and dunk myself, and this enabled the dunking to be viable much later into the year than you might think (context: my brain's idiosyncrasies means that a few minutes of cold water immersion is FREE DOPAMINE, so this is the bribe for the "run").
Other than that, the year's been a shitshow of injury, endless IC flare-ups and consequent pain and sleep deprivation, endless exhaustion, endless terror and worry about my friend, and the inevitable slide into depression by the end of the year as a result of all the aforementioned stressors. Hopefully it will be transient, and my meds cocktail and many many years of practice will suffice to haul me out.
sometimes dutifully falling and getting out, with perfect fortitude, saying “look at the skill and spirit with which I rise from that which resembles the grave but isn’t!”.
It's been a shitty year. I lived.

On Bluesky a lot of the artists I follow for their personal work have started declaring 2026 will be the year for the OC and I want to join in but even though I watch them constantly post about their own OCs, I feel like I haven't quite... picked up on how to do it myself. Or if I even have one that I can fit into such a small space. The characters I've had with me for over 30 years are too unwieldy to ever be exposed to the outside and I'm not sure how to pick out a newer one.
For 2026 my resolutions are:
Play more games
Be more outwardly self indulgent
Redecorate my living space more often
Finish more books
Get my degree
Double my comic output
Use my all my fun food cooking devices!
Eat more vegetables
Moisturize more
I think that's a good list.

I believe the theme of this book is "the road to hell" with a side order of "best laid plans". ( To be fair... )
