Moodboard Request Guidelines

These guidelines take effect 5 July 2025:

I provide moodboards for names, plural systems, and URLs.

Please give me a follow before requesting your moodboard.

If you are submitting a request for a name moodboard, please send 3-5 adjectives that you feel describe you, and at least 1 interest that captivates you.

If you're submitting for a system moodboard, please send at least one sentence describing your system's vibe in addition to the above standards for names.

I can also do moodboards for a single alter. Use the guidelines for name moodboards in this case.

If you are submitting for a URL moodboard, please be sure I can view the blog.

In either case, you can also feel free to send a dominant color for your aesthetic.

Other rules for moodboards:

Images will be sourced, often from royalty-free websites like Pexels.

Keep in mind this takes me some effort and your moodboard may take a while to be made. Please be patient with me.

“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better then all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”

— Mary Oliver, Don’t Hesitate

Feeling safe in someone's energy is a different type of intimacy. That peace of mind and security is very underrated and I cannot emphasize this enough.

My apologies, i didn't live up to your expectations.

In the right spaces, you will be heard without shouting. You will be seen without showing your wounds. You will be understood without changing who you are.

You can be yourself without any need to alter your identity.
