♦ 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?
