How long you've been on Gaia: Since 2005, but I've had two or three hiatuses? This is my original account and I just recently came back.
Favorite Dress up item(s): I try not to use the same items over and over again to keep things interesting when I'm building an avatar for a challenge or for funsies. Though I can pretty much guarantee that it's going to end up with animal ears/tail and/or horns/wings.
What inspires your avatars?: Because I've just recently gotten into Gaia again, there are a loooooooot of "new" items to play with. I've gone around collecting a bunch of stuff themed around rabbits, foxes, witches, plants/flowers, butterflies, moths, ghosts, bats, snow/ice/winter, bones/skeletons, jellyfish and octopus, scarves and sweaters, and certainly some cosplay items from The Dark Crystal, .hack//, Demon Slayer, Howl's Moving Castle, D. Gray-Man, Tokyo Ghoul, Princess Mononoke, Supernatural, Harry Potter, and there's probably a ton more that I have yet to discover. I also find it really hard to make male avatars most of the time, at least, ones that fit my style, lol.
What you hope to get out of the guild: I would really like to make new friends and have a new community to hang out with. Especially to talk avatars and see everyone else's awesome designs.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): I'm also a part of the Alphabet Mafia, representing the T. That makes me super happy that this guild is inclusive! I like casual, survival/resource management, and puzzle types of games (and a few MMOs like Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy XIV, and Genshin Impact) and watching movies and some anime. My go-to genres are sci-fi, fantasy, magic, and superheroes.

I like Pokemon too. We play with my daughter now and she is a huge fan too. Eevee is her favorite. We finished Sword & Shield and are looking forward to the new remake coming out. I also need to get Pokemon Snap eventually. Appletun is one of my favorite newer Pokemon. I recently got a giant plush of him once the Pokemon Center restocked. Who are your favorites?
I don't read manga often but I am currently reading the Ancient Magus Bride series because I just can't wait for more of the anime to come out.
Oh! That's awesome that your daughter enjoys playing as well. I think that would be one my dreams if I were to ever have kids one day is to enjoy video games with them lol I finished Sw&Sh as well and am def gonna grab the remake when it comes out. My faves are Mew, Ninetales and Diancie. Appletun is one of the most fun designs I've seen in awhile! Any other faves?
Ancient Magus Bride is def a great series! I need to pick up the manga again b/c I took a break to get some more chapters out after I caught up lol but I def I feel like the anime has been doing the manga justice.
My other favorites are Arcanine, Turtwig, Alolan Vulpix, and Leafeon. Yes the anime seems to be following the manga extremely closely. I rented a copy from my local library. It is cool that a lot of libraries have a graphic novel/manga area now. Also the short story collections are good too (Silver Yarn and Golden Yarn).

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your avatars and yes there needs to be more male items. Whenever I ghost a male avi it is so hard! I wonder if someone has made a list somewhere of all the cosplay items. I'm sure there are a bunch I have overlooked.

Oooh I would love to find that thread! That sounds like it could be fun.
When you go all out, what do you like to bake?
Here is the thread. I mostly just do cookies but sometimes I will make a chocolate log (basically a large swiss roll). I usually make some family favorites and then try out a couple new cookie recipes. Candy cane cookies, rosettes, and chocolate thumbprints are always good. Last year I tried out Zimtsterne and Cherry Pecan Balls.

I should make a closet thread so I don't lose track of everything. I've forgotten to save avatars before in my outfit slots and of course they'd be ones that I really liked.
I find it really funny that even though I have a male avatar base, with all the mods you can add now, you can't really tell.
I came across another cosplay item this afternoon, but I've instantly forgotten what it was. lol. That would be a really handy thread to reference!

Thanking you! I hope so too! And uh... good question... I enjoy cooking in general haha so that's a hard question to answer...

My second account LifesCreed was what I stuck with until around 2018, but then I went on hiatus for a few years, lost my log in info, and had to create my current account cat_sweatdrop Favorite Dress up item(s): I can’t possibly pick just one!! I do love magical items and badass looking weapons though. What inspires your avatars?: Usually I’m inspired by my available item colors. I like to mix and match color combinations, and look magical if I can! What you hope to get out of the guild: Community! I miss being able to log on and be able to chat, but all my previous haunts and members are no longer active. I’m hoping to find a fresh start.
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): I love to bake yum_cupcake, and will occasionally be inspired to draw. I used to take avi commissions when I was more active and didn’t have an actual job that took up a lot of my time!
Hi and welcome! smile I like baking as well, and cooking too! What kinda stuff have you baked most recently?
Also, bad a** weapons is a great choice for favourites haha xp
Hello baking buddy! My most recent baking adventure was carrot cake cupcakes with vanilla cinnamon icing for my brother's birthday. Neither of us like nuts, so I didn't include those, but I added coconut flakes for added texture instead. He hates coconuts, but the flavor mixed in with the other spices completely so it was wholly unnoticeable. He had no idea until I told him the ingredients rofl If you'd like the recipe, let me know! It was super light.
What's your favorite baking adventure?
Oh my gosh, that sounds delicious. I love carrot cake. If you'd wanna share the recipe, that would be awesome smile My dad has a signature carrot cake recipe that always wins over crowds.
My favourite thing I can remember baking was when a friend of mine was teaching me how to use fondant and that moldable chocolate stuff, and we make chocolate and vanilla swirl cupcakes and we decorated them to look like Muppets! Not to brag, but I think they turned out pretty well. I wish I still had the pictures, but I lost them on my old phone. sad

You should; closets are such a good idea. The guild has a subforum just for them.

I’ve never worked with fondant. That sounds super fancy and fun!! I can only imagine how cute the cupcakes ended up looking. I’m happy to PM you the recipe!
Name or Nickname:Rem or Remus Age: 25 How long you've been on Gaia: My earliest memories of being on the site date back to 2008 or 2007 the latest. I remember Naruto Cosplaying on your avatar was extremely popular on the site when I was the most active! That and making Avatars on TekTek! Favorite Dress up item(s): I have so many! Although I tend to make a lot of scantily clad/demonic/angel avatars so anything in that realm is :chefs kiss: Right now I am OBSSESSED with Buxom Brute. What inspires your avatars?: I tend to get really obsessed by one particular item and build around it. Most of the time it's a hair item. I also really enjoy mixing old and new! One again, my avatars veer on the side of scantily clad so I try to break out of my comfort zone. What you hope to get out of the guild: Just more opportunities to work with other people's inventories and find new items to add to my ever expanding list of needing to have my favorite items in every possible color. I like making avis for fun after all!
A little bit about yourself (can be anything, as short/long as you like!): I'm currently unemployed but looking into the possibility of opening a card/hobby shop in my area! I am about to turn 26 and happily have been in a loving relationship for the past 8 years. I spend most of my time in Barton Town roleplaying so you'll mostly find me there, but I pop into Avatar Talk sometimes when I get the urge to play around with avi builder and make a little plat to feed into my monstrous wishlist. Just like most people on gaia, I enjoy watching anime and play video games pretty often. The Yakuza Franchise is hands down my favorite that I've ever played
Oh and I am a Leo Sun, Aries Moon, and Saggitarious Rising. Take that as you will ~
Look forward to participating in making avi's with everyone!

Hello and welcome! I also like RPing, though I've had a little less time for it recently heheh. I'm replying to a RP right now actuall. >.>
I'm a Libra Sun, Pisces Moon, and Gemini Rising. Your alignment is quite interesting to me haha. Would you say you're a confident person? I'm no expert but I dabble in astrology.

I love looking at astrology and mythology! I am pretty confident yes, but I do have my days where I don't have a 'God complex' so to say.
Your big three is so nice! I love Gemini placements, I associate them with little gremlins because of how fiesty and playful they can be. Your Pisces placement makes me think that your emotions are pretty guarded and you're secretive. Maybe sensitive to other people's emotions. Hehehe. With two airs and a water you must be a really chill person. u wu
But that's just from the top of my head what I know!
