Great piece of forensic evidence, @Midnyte! 👍
I think I may have also taken a shot or two from our 2nd run. Will check when I get home.
LOL, I couldn't resist. I had to extract the speech bubble from one picture and paste it into that one showing your name, so there would be no doubt about who said it. 😆
Oh and I think I may have some shots from subsequent runs as well. If I got anything good, I'll add them to the gallery.

I have been busy making more toons. And when I have not been busy making new toons, I have been busy making variations on costumes for toons I already have.
And I have also been playing a little bit, when I have not been busy making new toons or remaking old ones.
Sounds fun! I am currently applying some strategies to my life that hopefully will give me more free time. 🙂

Clergy-themed costumes, e.g. Priests, Nuns, Buddhist or Zen-Monks, whatever works for you in terms of religiously inspiring or related stuff. We may run it in 2 versions as well, like using light outfits and "positive" powersets for the "holy" side, and then the dark and "unholy" version the other time...
Clergy costumes sound fun and ominous!

Your favorite, iconic video game character from any other pc/console/arcade game, from of your childhood or other game you play today. Actually not quite sure if we may have had that one already...?
Not that I recall. We will have to wait for Trixie to consult her document. 😄 But this sounds fun. You may be thinking of the childhood toy theme we did a few months ago. My favorite game system as a teen was Intellivision II and I exclusively played D&D on it. Along came the '90s and my first PC game was Wolfenstein. Then came Doom, then Heretic, then all the Sierra adventure games.... Kings Quest, Space Quest, etc.... then Leisure Suit Larry! It would be fun to see what I could come up with there.
On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:"E=mc²"
Take a hsitoric scientist and their discovery as a theme for a toon (costume and powers). E.g. Albert Einstein - Gravity / Time Controller. Or a Cyborg with Stephen Hawkings head/brain-in-a-jar. You get the idea...
I have a concept for this one already! "Bride of Faraday" has a tragic story of being married to the scientist Faraday and uh oh... lab accident mutated her into someone with electric powers. I have long since changed her name and concept, probably multiple times!
On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:"Dias De La Muerta"
This may stretch the Costume Creator here a bit, but I just like the very special look of this festival. Maybe give it a try?
Sure! I love sugar skulls. I am already planning in my head how to get that Día de Muertos look on a costume. 😄
On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:"Sentinels of the Galaxy"
All-Sentinel Team. Did an ITF like that, and it was amazingly steamrolling! Could give it some kind of "Guardians-Inspired" look to go with it 😉
I think since the revamp Sentinels have become a much more feasible AT.
On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:"World Domination"
I don't think we have ever tried an All-Domiator team yet, have we? Make them look like one of the evil genius masterminds (not the AT) from the movies...
ARRRGHHHH.... no we have not. I do not own a dominator. PTSD from my very first character, Decanatrix. Thorny Assault/Ice Dom. Ridiculous combination. I don't know why I hung on to her for so long. I cut my teeth on teaming with pugs and dying a lot. I had no clue what I was doing or how to build a character. LOL.
I tried another one a couple years ago..... the weak attacks made me depressed and I deleted her at level 3. LOL. But I am one to face my fears and take on a challenge, so if I ever try another dom I will choose powersets that I already love and make her the best she can be. I'm in!On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:"Black-Red-Gold"
3rd of October is National Holliday here in Germany. Discussed that at length 😄
I appreciate your perspective on German history and am always glad when you share it with us. Looking forward to making this costume! Have you checked to see what WST lines up with that date?
On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:"It's Water, but it's not!"
All-Waterblast Team. Water is a fantastically versatile set when it comes to power customization! So make it look like it's not (plain) water. Kind of what @FrauleinMental did with Coffee Ring, or my Magmatronic Man. Declare your Choice, every one shall be different!
Love this theme too. Coffee Ring is a wonderful look and concept, and I vaguely remember you bringing Magmatronic Man out once or twice. 🙂 Love it. I made a vampire once with blood-red water blast. 😄
On 8/9/2023 at 12:06 PM, Bananiac said:If I sit here any longer I would probably come up with other crazy ideas, but I leave it for now and get back to trying out new toons instead.
Looking forward to hear your takes on these!
I'm really grateful for your fresh ideas and your humor and friendship that you bring to the Theme Team. Well done, Banana Man! ♥

Looking forward to the pics from last saturday. Sorry I couldn't make it.
This week looks better, so I intend to be there with Cyclonica (Storm Blast/Kinetics Corruptor).
I just assumed it had something to do with International Beer Day. 😉

Ms. Liberty TF - Summer Treat costumes
Saturday, August 5, 2023
Icy Creamy by @TrixieKixx... looking exactly like Neapolitan ice cream!
(btw.. what face is that? It's awesome!)
Joey Joe Joe by @Milrop
Casualty of War by @Princess Cecilia (Cece)
The delicious summer treat, Empanada Cereza by @FrauleinMental
Raspberry Sorbet by @Midnyte
This turned out to be a fun flavor after all. I knew I wanted some flavor of sorbet so I was trying out colors, and did raspberry just as a test. I never planned to keep it. LOL. It was more of a test of which colors could look more like sorbet. I had in mind to make lemon or lime, but then ran out of time and wound up oversleeping that morning! LOL. So I had to go with what I had. But I have a picture of the costume I made after this, but never wore!
@Burnt Umber created this fantastic representation of an Heirloom Tomato! An actual healthful summer treat that is real food. Love it. 🙂
Poor Wretch..... 😄
My favorite people to take on AVs with 🙂
"ouch! get off my toe, Joey Joe Joe Joe... ... ... "
Try to heal off of me, will you, Ghost Widow?? Think again!

8/5 - Ms. Liberty (Level 45-50 - Blue Side: Independence Port) - Costume to reflect your favorite Summer treat! Any AT
Almost forgot to sign up for this week. I was playing around with some delicious costumes, depending on what color I decide on, I will be some sort of sweet frozen concoction.
So name TBD but I know for sure that I'm bringing my ice/ice brute, who will put away her Morning Frost identity temporarily 🤫-

What exactly is meant by "Summer Treat", btw? I am a bit at a loss to interpret that, need a few examples maybe?
It means cold icy sweet things. Popsicles, ice cream, watermelon, slushy drinks.

Hahaha...I claimed Controller last night. I wasn't sure you could make it this week, but wanted to leave Brute for you just in case!
You are the sweetest! 🥰
-
@TrixieKixx, I see nobody has claimed controller yet so that might be all yours. Also nobody has picked brute yet! I have a couple of brutes who need this badge so if we do multiple runs I'll ready them ahead of time. But for the theme run, I'll bring Nytemayre - Bane Spider

OMG! That was awful! The arm movements 😄 I've never seen a singing video of him. Loved him in Knight Rider when I was a teen though 🙂
Until I read about him tonight, I had no clue he's made such a career out of singing. 🤣 I never watched Knight Rider.. I was in my late teens/early 20s and so busy with college classes and boyfriends and various jobs, omg I must've gotten home at night and fallen into bed without even watching TV! 😄
One hilarious thing I remember from when my sister's and my kids were little, like 20 years ago, we all went to see that SpongeBob movie in the theatre where David Hasselhoff is body surfing being towed on a raft (ha, 20 years ago I can't remember details) or something and it's just SO WEIRD.... have any of you seen it?? The six of us were in hysterics and we still talk about it sometimes!-

Our national holiday is in commemoration the fall of the Berlin Wall and Reunification of the 2 german states. Which may also give you some ideas for costumes (David Hasselhoff anybody? 😉) ...
I had no idea of his performance on the Wall! I didn't understand your reference so I read about it. So interesting to learn these things. I only remember being there in '86 when the Wall was still up, and we were very specifically in W Germany for that trip. I'm proud to celebrate your Reunification with you 🥰

Hi Theme Team! I need someone to take over for me in the month of October. I will be in Europe two of the Saturdays, and at a wedding in NH on another one. Who wants to volunteer? I know we usually do a Oktoberfest theme, and @Bananiac wanted to do a Black, Red & Gold Theme for October 3rd (which would be the 7th for theme team) 🙂 There's time to think about it.
You have a busy October! Thanks for the advance heads up. I'm looking so forward to Halloween event this year. The events are all lined up nicely from Oct through Feb but then there is that long lull until October again. I'll be glad to lead one or more of the events.

@Midnyte You outdid yourself with pics from last weekend and this one. I had no clue that Poison Apple had a green cloud at her feet! Your pics and commentary are always so awesome 🥰
Thanks so much. I never know if you all are reading them, but I enjoy it so I keep doing it. 😍

Haha, I don't believe I have a bio on her! Her name is a (probably too) elaborate pun: CRISPR is an acronym for "Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats" and there have been a number of recent scientific news stories about its usage in bio-tech, so I combined that with the idea of a "crisper drawer" in a refrigerator to temporarily rename my mutant plant control character since she'd be in a costume where her mutant brain would be "kept fresh." Again, it's a silly pun but it got a quick chuckle out of me when I thought of it so here we are.
Fantastic! And thanks for confirming that you didn't have a bio on her. (sometimes all we need is a quick chuckle to help make a decision 😄 )

I was actually thinking of building a Bio around it, as I find it kinda very clever myself 😄
Yes, you absolutely should! Write the bio filled with euphemisms for things commonly found in the game that we have typical names for. It would be a hoot!

Please let's do it! I have an energy blaster that I never play!

I plan on attending but haven't decided which character yet. I'll decide tonight when I can log in. I made a Rapunzel character a few years ago for the Homecoming fairy tale costume contest so I might dig up that costume and story and then figure out who to assign it to. Meanwhile super busy day before I can do anything fun. 😊
Edit: @TrixieKixx - sign me up with Sky Huntress - Archery/SR Sentinel in Rapunzel costume

I will bring Rumpelstilskin to the party next week, Ill/Dark Controller.
A favorite childhood memory! (was there no room for the T?) Fond memories of sitting around in my grandmother's kitchen while she rocked in her rocker, sipping her coffee, and telling us stories. I can still hear her thick Polish accent in my head. ♥

Themed TF/SF Saturdays
in Indomitable
Posted
Aww... what a great time that was. Tomorrow we'll do our matching poses hopefully. I'm going to try to make a costume similar to what I was wearing that day.
For Tarikoss, I'll bring my brand new stormy, Crystal Storme - Storm/Stone Sentinel.
I experimented with a corr and a MM this week, but tonight I rolled this sent and did a few DFBs and lvl 12 now, so almost there. 🙂
