Did a Pride month theme last year, but Runway had lot of Pride themes which was overwhelming, so probably will only make them for runway since my inventory is really limited & I struggled lot to pull it off.
It is Rose and Candy Month too tho so maybe will sprinkle that in the avis I make for this month
Decided to remove the headers with all of my artwork being featured. Kind of feeling lately my net is just terribly slow to load gaia pages so hoping less images would help speed up loading.

♦ February Poll
Err I almost forgot about making a new poll but honestly will just do a simple one for February since Lunar New Years and Valentines are coming up~~
There are definitely more February themes out there, but I'll be focusing on these two anyhow so guess it's more fitting & convenient lol

2024 is coming soon, so made a new Poll for January themes! And I am super close to reaching 365 days of 2023 avis~
I recently made a guild to put WIPs, Ghosts, and a Calendar so I can scroll through my avis I've made over the year. You can check that out here if you're interested!

♦ November Theme Poll
NaNoWriMo & Huevember is coming up! I don't think will pull off Huevember (even when I tried to do this artwise I only manage to do like the weekly shortened to 4 only version).
However did come across some new ones like RememberNovember & Mapvember & Dinovember & PatterNovember.... which among these probably can do RememberNovember since I've been making avi's based off of holidays
OC-tober / Drawlloween / Spooktober / Outfitober is coming up!
Most likely will be able to pull off a daily Outfitober, but there are lot of themes for this month, so didn't add all of the ones I've found that I won't most likely will not do like Gobtober (Goblins), Pinktober , Goretober & because I can only have 10 choices in the poll so lot of themes gotta go on the chopping board~
New poll for September~ I left out some theme challenges like Striptember since that is comic strip related though I guess sounds like a bare naked / sexy theme lol
I am having trouble updating posts though I keep running into Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead - Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN on gaia so this is frustrating
August is my birthday month whee
tbh found lot of new cool august themes but at least I can pull off at least OutfitAugust daily just fine lol

♦ July Theme Poll
Don't think will follow a theme challenge all month long for July despite there being lot of themes as want a break from month long challenges; June was pretty challenging trying to combine multiple.

♦ June Theme Poll
June is coming up and I was thinking of doing JuneFae (Fairy)/ Junebug (Insect) for the month....
Definitely gonna dabble in rainbows too for Pride Month, though I don't have bunch of rainbow items so don't think can pull off a full month sweatdrop
However I just remembered there is also Junicorn (Unicorn) too~
There is also KaiJune (Monster), but I doubt I will do this one, since can do that Halloween season?
