Because it's nice to let people know that we appreciate them.

In the spirit of love memes, this meme is a place to thank someone who's created something you love, or done something kind that you still remember after all this time, or who has made your fandom life (or your life in general!) better in some way.

Current Mood: busy

glass_of_orangejuice

I've been feeling more depressed than ever, and I don't really know what to do about it, except the most obvious and permanent solution... It feels like I'm a vase that had slowly been cracking under the pressure of life, and up until now I've been putting construction goop (I'm not smart okay, I have no clue what you're supposed to put in pieces of pottery to cover up cracks :/) in the cracks, but after what happened I feel shattered, and now I can't possibly fit them back together.

My mother keeps asking why I'm not trying in life, why I'm throwing everything away, and I say I don't know, but the truth is that I just can't be normal, even my past self's already somewhat depressed version of normal, anymore. I'm too scared and without the means to do anything permanent, but I struggle with thoughts of doing it anyways. It's hard to think past the now when I can't picture my future, but I know I'm just fucking shit up for future me because I don't think I have the cajones to go through with it. I just feel alone, both in my depression and in general, in a way I can't possibly describe. I don't think anyone will ever know exactly how I feel. I want so bad for it to be alright, but my options for people to talk about it with either already know or I can't possibly tell them.

I think I know that I need to break things off with one of my best friends for my mental health, but I'm to scared to do so. I've stopped being in denial about it a while ago, but I'm too scared to actually go through with it. I tried to distance myself, but I think it just ended up hurting both of us more, or maybe it's just me. I thought that it had only been a week or two since I had texted my soon-to-be roommate about my feelings, but I mentioned it in my last entry here, and that was almost a month ago. I told my other friend that even if he continues to talk about moving in with me, even without me there, that I can't move in to another situation where I don't feel supported. I fucking hate living with my parents, and yet I won't choose this same life willing, even to get out from under their thumbs. I'm stuck in between such a rock and a hard place that I can't do anything except for think about ending my life, because what else am I supposed to do?

(To my partner: I know you might be reading this, just know that it's not your job to make me feel better, do not put that pressure on yourself. I'm trying to be better, and know that you're there with me helps, but don't feel pressured to take shit upon yourself <3

Welcome aboard for Part 2 of Mood Theme in a Year! I hope you had a good break, because we're about to break into some new moods 👍

Starting now, the Maximum and Medium Tracks diverge from the Minimum track; in Part 3, Medium and Minimum will be unified again, but Maximum will be striking out on its own for the rest of the year. Pretty exciting!

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

This week's Medium and Maximum moods are: Stressed, Excited, Optimistic

And what a combination of moods we have to start out with here! Pretty neat that you can be Stressed, Excited, and Optimistic all at the same time. Or maybe I mean "exhausting" rather than neat 😅 Still, they're new moods to work with, and it can be fun to compare and contrast. If you're sticking around on the Maximum Track, it'll be good practice for when we get into runs of similar moods. How do Excited and Optimistic differ? How would you differentiate the two moods? How about Excited versus Stressed? Those both have the potential to be pretty high energy moods, even if they're on different ends of whether you're happy about something. Stressed and Optimistic? It doesn't really seem like they have a lot in common on the surface, but if you've been working really hard on something you still feel good about succeeding, you might just feel both of those at the same time.

What do you think? Are you ready to jump in on this week's moods, or do you wish the break had lasted a little longer? Do you expect to have any trouble with any of them, or need some inspiration? Let's talk about it!

Here's first part of two mood themes - an Ojamajo Doremi theme I'm making as I go, and a Digimon theme I’m (heavily) polishing that I worked on for the last couple months of 2025. Both have borders, are 94x72, and have a few alternate mood image options apiece.

The Ojamajo Doremi theme:
- only features screencaps from the first season/series/51 episodes
- is going to be made for Doremi fans in general, trying to give as many characters an appearance as possible and not favour anyone too much except in the sense of the main characters naturally showing up more than other characters

The Digimon theme:
- will feature images from 02 (+ Hurricane Touchdown + The Beginning), Tamers (+ Runaway Locomon), Frontier, and Appmon, also featuring some-but-less Adventure and Ghost Game - mostly screencaps, but also album and video covers, and maybe the occasional trading card or promo art
- was made for me and focuses on characters I like
- occasionally involves Wormmon, aka a cartoon bug. Just in case? Here in part 1, he only shows up in the alternates (under an HTML-5 cut)

Both these themes:
- should be assumed to contain spoilers through endgame for all involved canon material
- can be used by anyone! Just please link back to any of my posts in this community in your profile or sticky post or some other public location. I’ll also edit in a compilation post (for each) link with all the images posted in one place on my journal at the end of the year

Other parts: none at the moment!
